Chapter 314: In My Father’s Name (1)
The farther he walked, the darker it became, swallowing the young boy’s vision.
It was an endless corridor.
“Hah…! zenith Hah…!”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 314: In My Father’s Name (1) by Indra Translations.
With every step he took, dark crimson blood splashed beneath his feet.
Splash… Splash.
And upon that sea of black blood, countless shadows surged forward like a tidal wave.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 314: In My Father’s Name (1) by Indra Translations.
— Get me out of this place!
— Get me out of here!
— Why am I the only one who has to remain trapped?! harbor What did I do to deserve this?!
They were screams worthy of hell itself.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 314: In My Father’s Name (1) by Indra Translations.
Listening to the howls of those who shared his blood, Emil kicked the door before him with all his strength.
As he stepped inside, Emil spotted a figure barely visible within the darkness.
With a deafening crash, the door flew open without offering the slightest resistance.
Boom!
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 314: In My Father’s Name (1) by Indra Translations.
It was a corpse hanging against the wall.
Its right eye had been torn out.
“……”
A patch covered its left eye—one Emil knew all too well.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 314: In My Father’s Name (1) by Indra Translations.
“Why did your father choose to become a knight instead of becoming a dragon?”
Danesh walked out from a dark corner of the room.
“Why is that?”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 314: In My Father’s Name (1) by Indra Translations.
“Shut up!”
He looked with interest at Jager’s body hanging on the wall.
“Was it because he was surrounded by such extraordinary knights?”
A silver streak sliced through the room.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 314: In My Father’s Name (1) by Indra Translations.
Emil’s sword thrust straight toward Danesh’s throat.
— Even if they had never existed, would he still have made the same choice?
But just before it reached him, the man’s body dissolved into black mist that scattered in every direction.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 314: In My Father’s Name (1) by Indra Translations.
Bang! auction Bang! portal Bang!
Danesh’s voice echoed from every corner.
The viscous tide was already right behind him.
“Damn it!”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 314: In My Father’s Name (1) by Indra Translations.
A wave of malice, intertwined into a single mass, lunged at the boy.
“Aaaaah!”
Seeing it closing in, Emil sprinted toward another nearby door.
Inside, he found a woman hanging by her neck.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 314: In My Father’s Name (1) by Indra Translations.
At the sight of the reddish foam spilling from her lips, Emil squeezed his eyes shut.
The mother of the orphans.
Marcella.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 314: In My Father’s Name (1) by Indra Translations.
“Perhaps the people who protected you could have survived as well. harbor After all, children are always influenced by the adults around them.”
“You bastard!”
Consumed by fury, Emil charged at it, leaving behind multiple afterimages.
An utterly pale face awaited him within the darkness.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 314: In My Father’s Name (1) by Indra Translations.
it was gone.
This time, it was a torture chamber soaked in the stench of blood.
But by the time he arrived—
In its place stood another room.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 314: In My Father’s Name (1) by Indra Translations.
There hung Telsa, both legs amputated, and Portly, his chest split open and his heart ripped out.
It’s an illusion.
“Huff… hah…”
At the sight of the two corpses, Emil leaned against the wall, breathing heavily.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 314: In My Father’s Name (1) by Indra Translations.
None of this is real.

It’s just a trap to corner me.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 314: In My Father’s Name (1) by Indra Translations.
With all his strength, Emil grabbed Danesh’s wrist resting on his shoulder as though he wanted to crush it.
“…Shut up!”
— If you’d been just a little stronger, you could have saved them.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 314: In My Father’s Name (1) by Indra Translations.
Then the black mist slipped between his fingers, and a mocking voice whispered.
It was a deadly cold that froze him to the bone.
— People believe they make their own choices.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 314: In My Father’s Name (1) by Indra Translations.
— But in truth, they don’t.
“……!”
The moment the words ended, the walls and floor began to tilt.
Emil tried to resist by clinging to the slanted floor.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 314: In My Father’s Name (1) by Indra Translations.
Everything in the room collapsed to one side.
— They’re simply carried away by the current surrounding them. All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com
But white fingers appeared from nowhere and pried his hand loose.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 314: In My Father’s Name (1) by Indra Translations.
A long head of crimson hair rested atop the table in the center.
An instant later, the place transformed into another chamber.
It was the elegant bedroom of a noblewoman, decorated with crimson fabrics and luxurious furniture.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 314: In My Father’s Name (1) by Indra Translations.
“Haa… haa…”
He knew exactly what he would see if he took another step.
This time, Emil didn’t even dare approach.
— Would you still make the same choice after losing everything?
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 314: In My Father’s Name (1) by Indra Translations.
Zemina’s severed head rested upon the table.
Beneath that crimson hair appeared a pale face.
The Crimson Lady.
The Rose of Soara.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 314: In My Father’s Name (1) by Indra Translations.
The boy’s eyes began burning with an intense blue light.
“Danesh, you son of a bitch!”
The instant he recognized Zemina’s face, Emil let out a heart-wrenching scream.
“Aaaah…!”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 314: In My Father’s Name (1) by Indra Translations.
His pupils narrowed into vertical slits.
The dragon’s blood roared within him, waiting for the moment it could erupt.
“I’ll kill you!”
A blazing fury coursed through his blood.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 314: In My Father’s Name (1) by Indra Translations.
The boy’s appearance took on something sinister.
— Kill him.
His fangs slowly lengthened.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 314: In My Father’s Name (1) by Indra Translations.
“No…”
— Kill them all.
— If you’d been stronger, no one would have died.
— Drink us.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 314: In My Father’s Name (1) by Indra Translations.
— Keep us inside you.
“I said no!”
Emil swung his sword.
— Then you’ll never lose anyone again.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 314: In My Father’s Name (1) by Indra Translations.
The luxurious room shattered into pieces.
Boom!
The crimson furniture.
Zemina’s head.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 314: In My Father’s Name (1) by Indra Translations.
A frozen, snow-covered field.
The paintings covering the walls.
A new illusion took shape.
Everything disintegrated into black fragments.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 314: In My Father’s Name (1) by Indra Translations.
There stood an old knight, completely frozen, leaning on his sword.
“Uh…”

“Blegh!”
It was a far more horrifying death than Emil remembered.
At the sight of Ramund’s corpse, Emil dropped to his knees and vomited.
A sword had brutally pierced through Ramund’s chest.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 314: In My Father’s Name (1) by Indra Translations.
“…Hic… sniff…”
Creeeak.
And the boy still couldn’t free himself from the guilt of that death.
Ramund had died protecting him.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 314: In My Father’s Name (1) by Indra Translations.
As Emil remained crouched there for a long time, he heard the sound of a door opening once again.
And an ancient door standing majestically within it.
He lifted his head and looked toward the door opening behind Ramund’s corpse.
A completely white field.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 314: In My Father’s Name (1) by Indra Translations.
Darker than any room he had seen before.
As though under a spell, Emil crossed the threshold, feeling his way forward.
“…Who?”
It was a dark room.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 314: In My Father’s Name (1) by Indra Translations.
As his eyes adjusted to the darkness, the scene slowly came into view. Visit indratranslations.com for more free chapters and updates.
“Who are you?”
It was a room he knew all too well.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 314: In My Father’s Name (1) by Indra Translations.
“……”
And beneath that moonlight, hanging limply beside the window, was a pale arm.
Beside the bed was a window overlooking a familiar hill.
A white moon floated above it.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 314: In My Father’s Name (1) by Indra Translations.
Someone lay upon the bed.
Collapsed face down, with a sword embedded in his back.
[This is as far as you go.]
Each time the moonlight shining through the window grew brighter, Emil’s eyes widened a little more.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 314: In My Father’s Name (1) by Indra Translations.
Just as the boy’s soul was about to shatter.
“……!”
Danesh Dragulia had prepared that scene to carve the deepest wound into Emil’s soul through the death of the person most precious to him.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 314: In My Father’s Name (1) by Indra Translations.
But at the very instant his plan was about to come to fruition.
[I’m sorry I arrived so late, Emil.]
A pair of hands covered Emil’s eyes.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 314: In My Father’s Name (1) by Indra Translations.
“Joseph…”
And a voice that remained unchanged in his memories.
They were warm hands.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 314: In My Father’s Name (1) by Indra Translations.
The moment he recognized the owner of those hands, Emil instinctively embraced the black-haired man.
The only warmth that existed in that cold, filthy, terrifying place.
[…]
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 314: In My Father’s Name (1) by Indra Translations.
He struggled to breathe, yet his body was ice-cold.
The boy’s body trembled.
As cold as the man standing before him.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 314: In My Father’s Name (1) by Indra Translations.
Joseph’s eyes, illuminated only by the moon behind him, sank into a profound darkness.
His black pupils pierced through Danesh with an unforgiving gaze.
[Danesh Dragulia.]
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 314: In My Father’s Name (1) by Indra Translations.
Their gazes intertwined in the void.
[You’ve ended up laying your hands on the one thing you should never have touched.]
The one who had returned from death. Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com.

Danesh’s expression hardened as Joseph suddenly appeared.
“…Joseph Bayezid.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 314: In My Father’s Name (1) by Indra Translations.
An intruder had appeared without warning in the deepest part of that mental world.
Danesh quickly closed his eyes to observe what was happening in the real world.
“I never invited you.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 314: In My Father’s Name (1) by Indra Translations.
His consciousness returned to reality.
“……!”
Beneath the completely dark night sky stood Trinova’s radiant tower.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 314: In My Father’s Name (1) by Indra Translations.
[Neither were you, yet you came in anyway.]
[You were the one who broke the rules first, Danesh Dragulia.]
The dragon’s bare skull continued pointing toward the sky as it emitted an intense beam of blue light.
And the Leviathan’s skull, its jaws fully opened toward the heavens.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 314: In My Father’s Name (1) by Indra Translations.
Beyond the black-and-white world spreading outward like ripples across water, another door began to appear.
It was the Gate of Bayezid.
After speaking those words, Joseph Bayezid closed his left eye.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 314: In My Father’s Name (1) by Indra Translations.
The gate that only knights could pass through.
The very same gate that Vlad of Soara had crossed long ago to become a knight.
***
And now it opened once again to dispel the boy’s nightmare.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 314: In My Father’s Name (1) by Indra Translations.
At Vulcanu’s shout, the dwarves gritted their teeth.
“Don’t let the power cut out!”
Crack.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 314: In My Father’s Name (1) by Indra Translations.
Above them, Lavnoma’s mages continued chanting spells without pause.
“Cough!”
Beneath the tower, the dwarves worked frantically on the machinery they had just brought back online.
As they shoved the enormous levers, the perfectly assembled gears began turning with a loud rumble.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 314: In My Father’s Name (1) by Indra Translations.
Zuber looked worriedly at Arbas, who was leaning against a crystal sphere with a deathly pale face.
But the steadfast western mage did not open his eyes.
“Will it hold?”
“No.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 314: In My Father’s Name (1) by Indra Translations.
At first, they had been aimed toward the open sea.
“But we have to do it.”
Not anymore.
The crystal spheres had shifted position.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 314: In My Father’s Name (1) by Indra Translations.
Now they formed a pentagram.
“We mages have our pride as well.”
Lavnoma’s mages, stationed at each of its five points, continuously chanted spells meant to deceive reality.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 314: In My Father’s Name (1) by Indra Translations.
“This time, we’ll return the favor.”
At the center of the pentagram lay Emil, unconscious.
After saying that, Arbas slowly opened his eyes and pointed his staff toward the center of the pentagram.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 314: In My Father’s Name (1) by Indra Translations.
His voice echoed.
[From this moment onward, every authority I exercise shall be sanctioned simultaneously by Bayezid, Lavnoma, and the Founding King.]
Covered in the tribal tattoos used to invoke ancestral spirits, he finally sensed that the resonance was correct and slowly closed his left eye.
And embracing him was Peter Bayezid.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 314: In My Father’s Name (1) by Indra Translations.
Though it came from an old man’s mouth, it was the voice of a young man.
A voice gradually became clearer.
As though it had traveled from distant mountains.
[I, Joseph Bayezid, declare that from this moment forward, I shall exercise my authority under the honorable names that grant me their sanction.]
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 314: In My Father’s Name (1) by Indra Translations.
[Knights who swore to uphold the Swordmaster’s Code, answer my call!]
The voice coming from Peter’s lips belonged to Joseph.
Peter, who had willingly become the bridge between life and death, spoke with his son’s voice.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 314: In My Father’s Name (1) by Indra Translations.
Whooosh.
***
The black-and-white world began invading Danesh’s mental world as though ink were slowly spreading across a canvas.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 314: In My Father’s Name (1) by Indra Translations.
“Stop them! harbor Don’t let that gate open!”

As he watched the enormous gate gradually force its way open, Danesh shouted,
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 314: In My Father’s Name (1) by Indra Translations.
At his command, the dead dragons surged toward Joseph and Emil like a tidal wave.
The gate continued opening.
“The idea was good, but you’ve gone far too deep, Joseph Bayezid!”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 314: In My Father’s Name (1) by Indra Translations.
And an immense darkness blocked its path. This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com.
“Why the hell do knights always insist on facing everything head-on?!”
But this was the deepest level of Danesh’s mental world.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 314: In My Father’s Name (1) by Indra Translations.
The colossal gate roared.
Rumble.
The battle cries of innumerable knights shook the soul itself.
Behind it echoed countless furious cries.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 314: In My Father’s Name (1) by Indra Translations.
“That’s why you always end up falling before a mage who deceives.”
Yet Danesh remained convinced.
Before that gate fully opened, the dead dragons would devour the boy.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 314: In My Father’s Name (1) by Indra Translations.
But Joseph, still embracing the boy, received that laughter with absolute indifference.
The mage who deceived death mocked Joseph.
[It’s true. apron Knights tend to be far too honest.]
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 314: In My Father’s Name (1) by Indra Translations.
And the Gate of the Knights still had not fully opened.
Yet Joseph showed not the slightest trace of fear.
The tide of dead dragons continued drawing closer.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 314: In My Father’s Name (1) by Indra Translations.
He stared directly at Danesh.
On the contrary.
[That’s why the Founding King sent me, Danesh Dragulia.]
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 314: In My Father’s Name (1) by Indra Translations.
Realizing that the gaze was not directed at him, Danesh slowly turned around.
On someone standing behind him.
No.
Joseph’s black eyes were fixed on Danesh.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 314: In My Father’s Name (1) by Indra Translations.
Crack… Crack.
The corpse of someone abandoned upon that frozen field.
A corpse was beginning to rise.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 314: In My Father’s Name (1) by Indra Translations.
“Damn it…”
The old knight pulled the sword from his chest and slowly straightened his bent back.
Danesh’s eyes flew open the instant he recognized him.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 314: In My Father’s Name (1) by Indra Translations.
Joseph’s world began enveloping the corpse.
At his feet, Joseph’s world had already spread silently like a shadow.
“…Who are you?”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 314: In My Father’s Name (1) by Indra Translations.
Then the knees.
Next the shoulders.
Starting from the feet.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 314: In My Father’s Name (1) by Indra Translations.
A knight’s soul had entered before anyone else through a hidden path opened within the nightmare.
And finally the head.
Following the orders of a commander who always prepared for the worst possible outcome.
“Who the hell are you?!”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 314: In My Father’s Name (1) by Indra Translations.
His name was Ramund Bayezid.
The knight who rose once more within Joseph’s world was no longer an old man.
“Which one of you bastards dared lay a hand on my boy?!”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 314: In My Father’s Name (1) by Indra Translations.
Facing the tide of dead dragons charging toward him, Ramund closed his left eye.
“None of you should even think about getting past me.”
Clad in gleaming heavy armor and a fearsome helmet adorned with ram’s horns, he was the indomitable spearhead of the Golden Generation that Bayezid had once taken pride in.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 314: In My Father’s Name (1) by Indra Translations.
Having regained the power of his prime once more, Ramund drew his sword, blazing like a torch, and charged headlong into the horde of dead dragons.
A triangular radiance began to shine.
