Chapter 296: Side Story – The Last Knight of the Founding King
Along the road that crossed the prairie, where the deep blue darkness slowly spread, a man advanced.
It was an hour when night had not yet fully fallen.
The blue glow that had not yet completely faded still lingered at the edge of the sky.

“Emil! anchor Emil Aureo!”
“Emil! amateur Emil, Vlad’s son!”
He was a dark-skinned man.
After receiving an urgent message from the Red Lady, he had gathered the members of the caravan who were in Varna and was now desperately searching for someone while shouting in anguish.

“I’m looking for the Swordmaster’s son! adjust Rose’s Smile will reward any information, no matter how small!”
Yet Ned moved against the flow of people, calling the boy’s name over and over again.
Seen from afar, the crowd was so immense that it looked like a giant serpent twisting across the plain.
The stream of refugees coming from Sturma seemed endless.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 296: Side Story – The Last Knight of the Founding King by Indra Translations.
As he fought against that current, the man’s body accumulated small cuts and injuries.
It was a human tide that could not be stopped.
But he continued shouting the boy’s name as though none of it mattered.
“Emil! amber Emil Aureo!”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 296: Side Story – The Last Knight of the Founding King by Indra Translations.
Thinking that this time it was his turn.
“Has anyone seen Emil Aureo?!”
When he was a child, Vlad had saved that dark-skinned boy.
Just as Vlad had pulled him out of the back alleys back then, Ned now wanted to find Emil in that crowd and pull him out as well.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 296: Side Story – The Last Knight of the Founding King by Indra Translations.
Little by little, more people began calling Emil’s name throughout the crowd.
And perhaps it was because Ned’s sincerity managed to move the people.
“The Swordmaster’s son! meadow Emil Aureo!”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 296: Side Story – The Last Knight of the Founding King by Indra Translations.
One person’s voice became a massive echo.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 296: Side Story – The Last Knight of the Founding King by Indra Translations.
The gathered voices began to fill the roads of the North like the roar of a gigantic beast.
Carrying sorrow.
Carrying fear.
Carrying anger.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 296: Side Story – The Last Knight of the Founding King by Indra Translations.
“Aaaahhh!”
But the salvation they were calling for was far away.
And the danger approaching was already breathing down their necks.
Rumbleee…
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 296: Side Story – The Last Knight of the Founding King by Indra Translations.
The survivors of Sturma knew perfectly well what those vibrations rising from the depths of the earth meant.
The gigantic dragon that seemed to pierce the heavens.
“It’s an earthquake! antique Everyone get down!”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 296: Side Story – The Last Knight of the Founding King by Indra Translations.
It was a vibration so intense that it seemed to shake the soul itself.
‘…Is that the Deathworm?’
Those who remembered the nightmare of Sturma fell to their knees and began screaming once again.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 296: Side Story – The Last Knight of the Founding King by Indra Translations.
Rumble! antenna Rumble! anchor Rumble!
Ned had been shouting Emil’s name at the top of his lungs, but even he could not withstand that tremor and ended up dropping to his knees.
And the destination of that lament was Soara.
Beneath the sky illuminated by the Night of Two Moons, the northern prairies groaned.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 296: Side Story – The Last Knight of the Founding King by Indra Translations.
A dragon consumed by greed opened its jaws.
Toward the brightest beacon of the North.

The hooded black mage listened carefully to that sound.
It came from an old, worn compass.
An unsettling metallic sound echoed through the fog-covered prairie.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 296: Side Story – The Last Knight of the Founding King by Indra Translations.
It was an artifact capable of detecting draconic energy.
Watching the needle climb higher and higher, the black mage smiled in satisfaction.
“The dragon… is approaching.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 296: Side Story – The Last Knight of the Founding King by Indra Translations.
And so did the corpse of the knight positioned at the center.
Each time the needle moved, the red glow of the magic circle pulsed like a heart.
“Yes… yes… come this way.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 296: Side Story – The Last Knight of the Founding King by Indra Translations.
Pierced through by a sword, he had before him a solitary honor coin, earned over an entire lifetime and now being used as fuel for the magic circle.
“…What?”
An old nameless knight who had chosen an honorable retirement, only to end up turned into bait meant to lure a dragon.

“…What is this?”
But when he saw the compass needle suddenly leap upward, the black mage showed a surprised expression.
Both the living and the dead remained silent within the prairie fog.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 296: Side Story – The Last Knight of the Founding King by Indra Translations.
The Deathworm was still on the northern roads.
And yet the dragon-detecting artifact continued hammering frantically against the edge of the compass as though warning of imminent danger.
It would need at least half a day to reach this place.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 296: Side Story – The Last Knight of the Founding King by Indra Translations.
Tap-tap-tap-tap!
Light and swift footsteps.
Suddenly, footsteps echoed through the fog.
One of the assassins reacted instantly and assumed a defensive stance.

Thwip!
“Urgh!”
But it was already too late.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 296: Side Story – The Last Knight of the Founding King by Indra Translations.
It was a dagger with the distinctive design of the Southern Isles.
“Die!”
A dagger shot out from the fog.
It flew in a curved arc like a butterfly and pierced the assassin’s knee.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 296: Side Story – The Last Knight of the Founding King by Indra Translations.
A massive pole tore through the fog.
Then something else appeared.
Crack!!
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 296: Side Story – The Last Knight of the Founding King by Indra Translations.
But when it came flying with such force, the assassin could not withstand the impact and his neck snapped.
Normally it should have been planted quietly in the ground.
It was one of the main support poles of a tent.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 296: Side Story – The Last Knight of the Founding King by Indra Translations.
“That’s for my father!”
As expected of a member of the Kannor family, famous for their sturdy physiques, he wielded that pole with terrifying strength.
Hampton spat out those words between heavy breaths.
“We’re under attack!”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 296: Side Story – The Last Knight of the Founding King by Indra Translations.
The assassins were momentarily stunned when they saw the children emerging from the fog.
But once they realized the children had come to them on their own, the assassin leader grinned broadly.
“Barbosa’s daughter is here!”
“Well, well. arrow Things are working out nicely! harbor The fish are swimming right into our nets!”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 296: Side Story – The Last Knight of the Founding King by Indra Translations.
And he liked that even more.
His gaze shifted toward Lenia, who stood on the other side of the fog.
The girl’s orange eyes blazed with fury.
“Capture her!”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 296: Side Story – The Last Knight of the Founding King by Indra Translations.

And the other assassins, sharing his excitement, reacted in exactly the same way.
“Whoever catches her gets double! riddle And if you bring her back alive, I’ll pay four times as much!”
The man who put a price on flowers that were still blooming had eyes shining without pause.
“Move aside! amber That brat is mine!”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 296: Side Story – The Last Knight of the Founding King by Indra Translations.
“Good, good. apron Everyone is so full of spi…”
“You can kill the others!”
Seeing them coming, Lenia bit her lips tightly and ran into the fog.
The men blinded by gold charged toward Lenia.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 296: Side Story – The Last Knight of the Founding King by Indra Translations.
And taking advantage of that opening, a sword shot straight toward the group’s leader.
The assassins from the Southern Isles quickly began to spread out.
The men, completely focused on Lenia, rushed into the fog.
Clang!
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 296: Side Story – The Last Knight of the Founding King by Indra Translations.
The yellow mole atop his head remained motionless like a statue.
“…Hehe, there was no need for you to show up so soon.”
Anyone could recognize who he was at a glance.
It was a boy whose entire body was shining intensely.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 296: Side Story – The Last Knight of the Founding King by Indra Translations.
When the leader spoke his name, the bright boy’s eyebrows twitched slightly.
“Emil Aureo. acid I was planning to take you with me anyway. meadow You’re valuable merchandise too.”
Those men thought only about the fruit a flower would bear once it had withered.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 296: Side Story – The Last Knight of the Founding King by Indra Translations.
He simply swung his sword.
“Hyaaah!”
Clang! alert Clang! atlas Clang!
But the young swordsman showed no disgust toward the reality before him.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 296: Side Story – The Last Knight of the Founding King by Indra Translations.
“For someone your age, you’re not bad at all. antique You’ve been trained quite well.”
Realizing he was at a disadvantage, Emil quickly retreated and caught his breath.

A shrill sound erupted as the two weapons collided.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 296: Side Story – The Last Knight of the Founding King by Indra Translations.
“But you’re too honest. agent That’s why little brats raised in comfort are never useful.”
The other children had created an opportunity for him, but the assassin leader was not someone who would fall for such simple tricks.
It had been a perfect strike.
But it had been completely read.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 296: Side Story – The Last Knight of the Founding King by Indra Translations.
“…!”
With the tip of his foot, he kicked up a cloud of dirt straight at Emil.
Fwoosh!
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 296: Side Story – The Last Knight of the Founding King by Indra Translations.
But for Emil, it was an entirely new situation.
It was a trivial trick.
However, the leader had already closed the distance.
Startled by the dirt that blocked his vision, he took a step back.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 296: Side Story – The Last Knight of the Founding King by Indra Translations.
The violent attacks that pierced his body from every angle made his footing falter.
“As expected of a dragon’s body, you’re pretty durable!”
Wham! crystal Crack!
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 296: Side Story – The Last Knight of the Founding King by Indra Translations.
“Damn it!”
Without the spirit’s blessing, his organs would have been shattered long ago.
Under that fierce assault, the boy’s sword seemed to have lost its direction.
His movements were clumsy, almost like those of a drunkard.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 296: Side Story – The Last Knight of the Founding King by Indra Translations.
The surrounding assassins openly laughed.

“Is that all you’ve got, Emil Aureo?”
Craaack!
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 296: Side Story – The Last Knight of the Founding King by Indra Translations.
Unable to withstand the force of the impact, he was sent flying.
The glowing boy’s body shook helplessly.
The leader’s kick landed squarely.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 296: Side Story – The Last Knight of the Founding King by Indra Translations.
A groan escaped through his blocked breathing.
“Urgh!”

He couldn’t even break his fall properly.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 296: Side Story – The Last Knight of the Founding King by Indra Translations.

Even so, he still clung to his sword with all his strength.
“Ughhh…”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 296: Side Story – The Last Knight of the Founding King by Indra Translations.
Little by little, the hand gripping the sword began to open.
But even it could not counter pure physical pressure.
The leader began crushing his hand beneath his foot.
The mole’s blessing was still protecting him.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 296: Side Story – The Last Knight of the Founding King by Indra Translations.
Emil Aureo.
“You’d better pay well! audit I’ve kept him fresh and in perfect condition!”
The leader looked at Emil like a fisherman admiring an extraordinary catch.
“Hey, mage. album How much did you say they’d pay for this kid?”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 296: Side Story – The Last Knight of the Founding King by Indra Translations.
“…He’s not a dragon.”
But the mage who emerged from the fog looked more confused than pleased.
The leader smiled proudly as he called to the black mage.
Vlad Aureo’s son.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 296: Side Story – The Last Knight of the Founding King by Indra Translations.
Only moments ago it had been trembling like mad.
Now it remained completely still.
Because the needle of the compass he was holding wasn’t moving.
“What?”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 296: Side Story – The Last Knight of the Founding King by Indra Translations.
The boy was being crushed against the ground.
Hearing that, the leader looked down at Emil.
“Then what exactly are you?”
“This boy… doesn’t have dragon blood…”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 296: Side Story – The Last Knight of the Founding King by Indra Translations.
“You’re not much.”
He was laughing.
But despite his miserable appearance, his shoulders were shaking slightly.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 296: Side Story – The Last Knight of the Founding King by Indra Translations.
“Not even the assassins.”
He raised his head with a mocking grin.
The leader’s eyes narrowed.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 296: Side Story – The Last Knight of the Founding King by Indra Translations.
And only then did he truly look at the boy.
Now he could see it clearly.
The boy’s hair.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 296: Side Story – The Last Knight of the Founding King by Indra Translations.
Rattleee!
It was a pale yellow.
Wheeeeeet!
It wasn’t blond.

And the target he sought was the sword embedded in the corpse.
Taking advantage of the black mage momentarily leaving the circle, the boy lunged like a beast.
“Hyaaaah!”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 296: Side Story – The Last Knight of the Founding King by Indra Translations.
They were cursed words so cruel and vile that an ordinary person wouldn’t even be able to look at them.
“Gaaahhh!”
The sinister runes carved into the sword began climbing up Emil’s arm.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 296: Side Story – The Last Knight of the Founding King by Indra Translations.
But the dragon blood flowing through his veins refused to allow those curses to invade his soul.
The world of the most perfect dragon.
“Get away from there!”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 296: Side Story – The Last Knight of the Founding King by Indra Translations.
The black mage felt his magic circle collapsing.
“…Stop him!”
And the world of curses created by the black mage, an existence that could never be accepted within that perfection.
A world that crushed all possibilities.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 296: Side Story – The Last Knight of the Founding King by Indra Translations.
His face filled with terror.
And tore the sword free from the old knight.
But Emil’s eyes were already shining with an intense blue color.
The dragon’s vertical pupils destroyed the world of curses.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 296: Side Story – The Last Knight of the Founding King by Indra Translations.
The instant the sword was pulled free, a storm erupted across the prairie.
Fwoooosh!
“Stop him!”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 296: Side Story – The Last Knight of the Founding King by Indra Translations.
And the moment it disappeared, the prairie wind burst through and swept away the milky fog.
The air that had remained trapped within the fog began to move violently.
The sword was the core of the magic circle.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 296: Side Story – The Last Knight of the Founding King by Indra Translations.
And then they saw it.
The clear night sky. Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.
[Well done, Emil.]
The green prairie.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 296: Side Story – The Last Knight of the Founding King by Indra Translations.
Joseph Bayezid.
The banner he held fluttered in the air.
And beneath the light of the Black Moon.
[From this moment onward, every battlefield present here shall fall under my command.]
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 296: Side Story – The Last Knight of the Founding King by Indra Translations.
[All authority I exercise is simultaneously backed by Bayezid and by the Founding King.]
Joseph drove the banner into the ground.
Upon the cloth, dark as the night sky, were embroidered the emblem of Bayezid and the white lightning bolt that symbolized the Founding King.
Crunch!
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 296: Side Story – The Last Knight of the Founding King by Indra Translations.
[I, Joseph Bayezid, declare that from this moment onward I shall exercise my rights under the honorable names that guarantee my existence.]
Wherever the light touched, colors disappeared.
A world where only black and white existed began to spread.
And at the same time, the light of the Black Moon began descending from the sky.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 296: Side Story – The Last Knight of the Founding King by Indra Translations.
Then, with a cold smile, he said.
[Even over your lives.]
The black-haired man closed his left eye.
Dark aura, black as the night sky, began to pour from Joseph’s closed eye.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 296: Side Story – The Last Knight of the Founding King by Indra Translations.
The last knight of the Founding King.
Joseph Bayezid.
And with that rightful declaration, the world he unleashed began to devour the wretched crowd.
