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.

He was a dark-skinned man.
“Emil! antenna Emil, Vlad’s son!”
“Emil! attic Emil Aureo!”
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! attic Rose’s Smile will reward any information, no matter how small!”
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.
Yet Ned moved against the flow of people, calling the boy’s name over and over again.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 296: Side Story – The Last Knight of the Founding King by Indra Translations.
But he continued shouting the boy’s name as though none of it mattered.
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.
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.
When he was a child, Vlad had saved that dark-skinned boy.
“Emil! canvas Emil Aureo!”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 296: Side Story – The Last Knight of the Founding King by Indra Translations.
“The Swordmaster’s son! riddle Emil Aureo!”
“Has anyone seen Emil Aureo?!”
And perhaps it was because Ned’s sincerity managed to move the people.
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.
“The Swordmaster is coming?!”
Little by little, more people began calling Emil’s name throughout the crowd.
“Sir Vlad! autumn Sir Vlad of Soara!”
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.
Carrying fear.
Carrying sorrow.
Carrying anger.
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.
Rumbleee…
And the danger approaching was already breathing down their necks.
But the salvation they were calling for was far away.
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.
“It’s an earthquake! meadow Everyone get down!”
“Aaaahhh!”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 296: Side Story – The Last Knight of the Founding King by Indra Translations.
‘…Is that the Deathworm?’
The gigantic dragon that seemed to pierce the heavens.
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.
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.
Rumble! crystal Rumble! meadow Rumble!
It was a vibration so intense that it seemed to shake the soul itself.
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.
And the destination of that lament was Soara.
Toward the brightest beacon of the North.

Tick-tick.
Tick.
Tick.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 296: Side Story – The Last Knight of the Founding King by Indra Translations.
“The dragon… is approaching.”
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.
Watching the needle climb higher and higher, the black mage smiled in satisfaction.
It was an artifact capable of detecting draconic energy.
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.
An old nameless knight who had chosen an honorable retirement, only to end up turned into bait meant to lure a dragon.
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.
And so did the corpse of the knight positioned at the center.
Wheeeeeet!
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 296: Side Story – The Last Knight of the Founding King by Indra Translations.
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. Visit indratranslations.com for more free chapters and updates.
“…What?”
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.
It would need at least half a day to reach this place.
“…What is this?”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 296: Side Story – The Last Knight of the Founding King by Indra Translations.
Suddenly, footsteps echoed through the fog.
Tap-tap-tap-tap!
And yet the dragon-detecting artifact continued hammering frantically against the edge of the compass as though warning of imminent danger.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 296: Side Story – The Last Knight of the Founding King by Indra Translations.
But it was already too late.
Thwip!
Light and swift footsteps.
One of the assassins reacted instantly and assumed a defensive stance.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 296: Side Story – The Last Knight of the Founding King by Indra Translations.
It flew in a curved arc like a butterfly and pierced the assassin’s knee.
It was a dagger with the distinctive design of the Southern Isles.
A dagger shot out from the fog.
“Urgh!”
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.
“Die!”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 296: Side Story – The Last Knight of the Founding King by Indra Translations.
Normally it should have been planted quietly in the ground.
It was one of the main support poles of a tent.
Crack!!
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 296: Side Story – The Last Knight of the Founding King by Indra Translations.
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.
But when it came flying with such force, the assassin could not withstand the impact and his neck snapped.
“That’s for my father!”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 296: Side Story – The Last Knight of the Founding King by Indra Translations.
“Barbosa’s daughter is here!”
The assassins were momentarily stunned when they saw the children emerging from the fog.
“We’re under attack!”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 296: Side Story – The Last Knight of the Founding King by Indra Translations.
“Well, well. amber Things are working out nicely! arch The fish are swimming right into our nets!”
His gaze shifted toward Lenia, who stood on the other side of the fog.
But once they realized the children had come to them on their own, the assassin leader grinned broadly.
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.
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.
“Whoever catches her gets double! artist And if you bring her back alive, I’ll pay four times as much!”
The greater that fury, the more gold they would receive afterward.
The blood of Golden Duke Barbosa was worth that much.

“You can kill the others!”
“Move aside! agent That brat is mine!”
And the other assassins, sharing his excitement, reacted in exactly the same way.
The man who put a price on flowers that were still blooming had eyes shining without pause.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 296: Side Story – The Last Knight of the Founding King by Indra Translations.
The men blinded by gold charged toward Lenia.
Clang!
“Good, good. galaxy Everyone is so full of spi…”
Seeing them coming, Lenia bit her lips tightly and ran into the fog.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 296: Side Story – The Last Knight of the Founding King by Indra Translations.
The assassins from the Southern Isles quickly began to spread out.
The men, completely focused on Lenia, rushed into the fog.
And taking advantage of that opening, a sword shot straight toward the group’s leader.
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.
It was a boy whose entire body was shining intensely.
“…Hehe, there was no need for you to show up so soon.”
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.
Anyone could recognize who he was at a glance.
“Emil Aureo. Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com. acid I was planning to take you with me anyway. palette 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.
But the young swordsman showed no disgust toward the reality before him.
He simply swung his sword.
“Hyaaah!”
Clang! amateur Clang! airport Clang!
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 296: Side Story – The Last Knight of the Founding King by Indra Translations.
Realizing he was at a disadvantage, Emil quickly retreated and caught his breath.
A shrill sound erupted as the two weapons collided.
It was a contest of strength against strength.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 296: Side Story – The Last Knight of the Founding King by Indra Translations.
It had been a perfect strike.
“For someone your age, you’re not bad at all. sphere You’ve been trained quite well.”
But it had been completely read.
The other children had created an opportunity for him, but the assassin leader was not someone who would fall for such simple tricks.
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!
“But you’re too honest. acid That’s why little brats raised in comfort are never useful.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 296: Side Story – The Last Knight of the Founding King by Indra Translations.
It was a trivial trick.
“…!”
But for Emil, it was an entirely new situation.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 296: Side Story – The Last Knight of the Founding King by Indra Translations.
However, the leader had already closed the distance.
Startled by the dirt that blocked his vision, he took a step back.
Wham! shadow Crack!
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.
“Damn it!”
“As expected of a dragon’s body, you’re pretty durable!”
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.
The surrounding assassins openly laughed.
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 leader’s kick landed squarely.
Craaack!
“Is that all you’ve got, Emil Aureo?”
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.
Unable to withstand the force of the impact, he was sent flying.
The glowing boy’s body shook helplessly.
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.
He rolled miserably across the ground.
“Urgh!”
He couldn’t even break his fall properly.

“Ughhh…”
The determination with which he refused to give up was almost admirable.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 296: Side Story – The Last Knight of the Founding King by Indra Translations.
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.
“Hey, mage. avalanche How much did you say they’d pay for this kid?”
The leader looked at Emil like a fisherman admiring an extraordinary catch.
Little by little, the hand gripping the sword began to open.
“You’d better pay well! anxiety I’ve kept him fresh and in perfect condition!”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 296: Side Story – The Last Knight of the Founding King by Indra Translations.
The leader smiled proudly as he called to the black mage.
Vlad Aureo’s son.
But the mage who emerged from the fog looked more confused than pleased.
Emil Aureo.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 296: Side Story – The Last Knight of the Founding King by Indra Translations.
“What?”
“…He’s not a dragon.”
Only moments ago it had been trembling like mad.
Because the needle of the compass he was holding wasn’t moving.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 296: Side Story – The Last Knight of the Founding King by Indra Translations.
“This boy… doesn’t have dragon blood…”
Now it remained completely still.
Hearing that, the leader looked down at Emil.
“Then what exactly are you?”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 296: Side Story – The Last Knight of the Founding King by Indra Translations.
“You’re not much.”
But despite his miserable appearance, his shoulders were shaking slightly.
The boy was being crushed against the ground.
He was laughing.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 296: Side Story – The Last Knight of the Founding King by Indra Translations.
He raised his head with a mocking grin.
And only then did he truly look at the boy.
The leader’s eyes narrowed.
“Not even the assassins.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 296: Side Story – The Last Knight of the Founding King by Indra Translations.
The boy’s hair.
Now he could see it clearly.
Until that moment, greed and the glow of the mole’s blessing had hidden an important detail.
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.
It wasn’t blond.
Wheeeeeet!
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 296: Side Story – The Last Knight of the Founding King by Indra Translations.
Even amid that fog, it was impossible not to recognize that brilliant golden hair.
With the shrill scream of the compass needle, someone slipped into the magic circle.
“Hyaaaah!”

“Gaaahhh!”
Taking advantage of the black mage momentarily leaving the circle, the boy lunged like a beast.
And the target he sought was the sword embedded in the corpse.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 296: Side Story – The Last Knight of the Founding King by Indra Translations.
“Get away from there!”
But the dragon blood flowing through his veins refused to allow those curses to invade his soul.
The sinister runes carved into the sword began climbing up Emil’s arm.
They were cursed words so cruel and vile that an ordinary person wouldn’t even be able to look at them.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 296: Side Story – The Last Knight of the Founding King by Indra Translations.
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.
The world of the most perfect dragon.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 296: Side Story – The Last Knight of the Founding King by Indra Translations.
His face filled with terror.
But Emil’s eyes were already shining with an intense blue color.
The black mage felt his magic circle collapsing. Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.
“…Stop him!”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 296: Side Story – The Last Knight of the Founding King by Indra Translations.
“Stop him!”
And tore the sword free from the old knight.
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.
The air that had remained trapped within the fog began to move violently.
The sword was the core of the magic circle.
Fwoooosh!
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 296: Side Story – The Last Knight of the Founding King by Indra Translations.
[Well done, Emil.]
And then they saw it.
And the moment it disappeared, the prairie wind burst through and swept away the milky fog.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 296: Side Story – The Last Knight of the Founding King by Indra Translations.
Joseph Bayezid.
The clear night sky.
The green prairie.
And beneath the light of the Black Moon.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 296: Side Story – The Last Knight of the Founding King by Indra Translations.
The banner he held fluttered in the air.
[From this moment onward, every battlefield present here shall fall under my command.]
Upon the cloth, dark as the night sky, were embroidered the emblem of Bayezid and the white lightning bolt that symbolized the Founding King.
[All authority I exercise is simultaneously backed by Bayezid and by the Founding King.]
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 296: Side Story – The Last Knight of the Founding King by Indra Translations.
Wherever the light touched, colors disappeared.
Joseph drove the banner into the ground.
Crunch!
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.
The black-haired man closed his left eye.
[I, Joseph Bayezid, declare that from this moment onward I shall exercise my rights under the honorable names that guarantee my existence.]
A world where only black and white existed began to spread.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 296: Side Story – The Last Knight of the Founding King by Indra Translations.
Dark aura, black as the night sky, began to pour from Joseph’s closed eye.
Joseph Bayezid.
[Even over your lives.]
Then, with a cold smile, he said.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 296: Side Story – The Last Knight of the Founding King by Indra Translations.
And with that rightful declaration, the world he unleashed began to devour the wretched crowd.
The last knight of the Founding King.
