Chapter 45: Moonless night (2)
One of the remnants of a fallen dragon.
Deathworm.
A monster that usually resides underground and only surfaces occasionally to breathe.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 45: Moonless night (2) by Indra Translations.
However, what was unfolding right in front defied the common wisdom of the world.
Despite its enormous and horrifying appearance, its basic sustenance is the earth’s energy, derived from minerals and fertile soil underground.
“Something’s wrong! audit Deathworms are not supposed to eat flesh.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 45: Moonless night (2) by Indra Translations.
Kwah wah wah wah!
The pitiful cries of the horses are consumed by the sticky blood.
Wild horses scatter in all directions as the Deathworms attack.
Hiiiiing.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 45: Moonless night (2) by Indra Translations.
The viscous body of the Deathworm, stained with blood, seemed corrosive.
After assessing the situation, Rutiger shouted to his knights.
“…Everyone on horses!”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 45: Moonless night (2) by Indra Translations.
“Protect the pilgrims! acquire They must be rescued!”
That is the duty of those who have been given a mission.
What matters is that you are where you should be, doing what you should do.
Whether the situation before him was unusual or not wasn’t the point.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 45: Moonless night (2) by Indra Translations.
Before Rutiger could finish his sentence, the knights moved with horrifying speed, and Vlad swiftly rode to the top of the dalguzi.
“Charge! portal Follow Lord Rutiger!”
“Charge!”
At Rutiger’s command, Bayezid’s knights began to gallop down the green hill.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 45: Moonless night (2) by Indra Translations.
The hooves of the knights’ horses echoed vertiginously over the green and peaceful meadows, blending with the cries of the Deathworms.
To save the pilgrims, who were terrified and defenseless.
To the hellish scene below, dyed red by the blood of the wild horses.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 45: Moonless night (2) by Indra Translations.
For this moment, which he didn’t know would happen, Fether had sent his son.
“…He’s very young, only a few days old!”
The safe haven of Gazo, prepared for any eventuality, now shone like the Bayezid banner fluttering atop a mast.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 45: Moonless night (2) by Indra Translations.
“It’s not big enough, and its skin hasn’t hardened yet!”
Dorothea hadn’t stopped to observe the Deathworm as she galloped on horseback.
She knew exactly what her role was.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 45: Moonless night (2) by Indra Translations.
It was a young individual who hadn’t developed the Deathworm’s characteristic of having a tough shell.
Dorothea’s shout made Rutiger turn his head to look at the Deathworm.
The Deathworm, which continued to chew and devour the horse corpses without pause, wasn’t as large as she had said, and, more importantly, it had pink, unhardened skin.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 45: Moonless night (2) by Indra Translations.
While Rutiger rode on horseback and checked the situation, Vlad observed from his perch in the changing lunar landscape.
“…”
The only difference between him and Dorothea was that, instead of Deathworms, the boy was watching a herd of wild horses screaming. All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com

“Spirits…”
[I sense a spirit, they are not ordinary horses.]
The white serpent he saw in Deirmar.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 45: Moonless night (2) by Indra Translations.
[I will show you my world.]
“Okay.”
Vlad’s mind returned to the being that had granted him the favor.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 45: Moonless night (2) by Indra Translations.
“…”
“After…”
The boy lowered his posture as if praying and closed his right eye.
A loud noise drowned out the boy’s faint response.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 45: Moonless night (2) by Indra Translations.
A world of vivid colors.
Heeeeeeeee-!
He opened his left eye to the world of voices.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 45: Moonless night (2) by Indra Translations.
The world of the voice, which seemed to have a hundred colors more than the boy’s world, reflected the figures of the horses.
White smoke like mist rose from the neighing horses.
A herd of wild horses, devoured and trampled, falling to the ground.

But it’s so pale that it forms nothing, disperses, and dies.
“What is that?”
Glowing white smoke.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 45: Moonless night (2) by Indra Translations.
Vlad didn’t know why, but he felt sorry for them.
[Look at the black horse.]
Following the voice’s advice, Vlad turned to look at the jet-black horse that had just made eye contact with him.
‘…’
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 45: Moonless night (2) by Indra Translations.
Vlad bit his lip as the scene echoed his.
But despite its pitiful gestures, the Deathworm didn’t even look at it, just feasting on the sweet flesh.
It strutted as if it were the leader of the pack, trying to attract the Deathworm’s attention. Visit indratranslations.com for more free chapters and updates.

For the other horses, it was just a fine mist, but for him, it was a shape.
said the voice, and when Vlad turned to look, he saw them.
“Horns?”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 45: Moonless night (2) by Indra Translations.
[I think there is some kind of blood in those horses.]
The scent of lemons from the day wafted in the boy’s armor as he stared at the faint horn.
In the middle of the forehead of the black horse was a white horn that floated like the moon.
White horns.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 45: Moonless night (2) by Indra Translations.
***
Dorothea’s gaze caught something as she galloped on horseback.
“And that?”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 45: Moonless night (2) by Indra Translations.
Something that shone on the forehead of the young Deathworm.
“Lord Rutiger! album The deathworm is awake!”
An odd energy emanated from it, detectable only by a mage.
The young deathworm responded to it.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 45: Moonless night (2) by Indra Translations.
Time is running out.
Suddenly.
“Pilgrims! armor It’s looking at the pilgrims!”
“…Damn it!”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 45: Moonless night (2) by Indra Translations.
As a man of the mission and leader of the group, Rutiger was obligated to use his best judgment.
“The deathworm has no eyes or ears; it can only sense ground vibrations.”
“Dorothea, what are the deathworms reacting to?”
Rutiger’s black eyes emitted a sharp gleam.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 45: Moonless night (2) by Indra Translations.
With a quick hand gesture, Rutiger divided the group of knights into two, and with only a handful of knights leading them, he rushed to the area where the Deathworm was.
“Dismount, we’re running out of horses!”
At the knights’ shouts, Portly and Vlad quickly surrendered their transport.
“Find a way to lure that thing. beacon Dorothea!”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 45: Moonless night (2) by Indra Translations.
They were right to do so.
Rutiger had to address two issues simultaneously.
But with a speed that not even the wild horses could match, the Deathworm would not release its targets once it had them.
The pilgrims would have no way out of this situation without the knights’ help.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 45: Moonless night (2) by Indra Translations.
The wild horses were fleeing, and the pilgrims were in front of them.
Kaaaaaah-!
Everything the Deathworm wanted—or anyone wanted—was there, in front of it.
The young Deathworm, which had been savoring the corpses of the wild horses, leaned toward the pilgrims with something shining on its forehead.

“Damn it, why!”
With a wild roar, the Deathworm leaped toward the pilgrims.
Kaaaaaah-!
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 45: Moonless night (2) by Indra Translations.
But right now, it’s more urgent to resolve the situation than to analyze the consequences.
I wonder why the Deathworm, which moments ago was devouring the wild horses, suddenly becomes interested in the pilgrims in front of it.
“Run!”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 45: Moonless night (2) by Indra Translations.
While the knights mingled with the herd of wild horses and tried to stop the advance of the Deathworm, Rutiger silently fumed with rage.
“Now!”
At Rutiger’s command, the knights charged against the Deathworm.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 45: Moonless night (2) by Indra Translations.
Surely there must be some artificial problem that had created this situation.
Common sense was being challenged, and the situation was taking a strange turn.
“How dare you in my father’s land…”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 45: Moonless night (2) by Indra Translations.
The knight who had inherited his blood entirely closed his left eye.
The prestigious Bayezid of the North.
***
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 45: Moonless night (2) by Indra Translations.
“…..”
In the distance, he could see the knights approaching the group of pilgrims, but it seemed there were too many horses to move at once.
“We’re in trouble!”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 45: Moonless night (2) by Indra Translations.
Dorothea’s voice sounded behind them as they moved slightly.
Vlad and Portly, who had been stripped of their horses and halters, protected Dorothea and watched the situation from the hillside.
“Blondie and Chubby, distract the worm!”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 45: Moonless night (2) by Indra Translations.
They were bottles containing paint and other things, as if a painter were about to paint a picture.
Small bottles spilled onto the ground.
“Vibration, vibration, vibration, what color was that trace…”
Now she was crouched on the ground, creating a trace that would allow her to induce the Deathworm, as Rutiger had said.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 45: Moonless night (2) by Indra Translations.
Dorothea moved them, preparing her magic.
Kwagagaga!
With every tremor of her lips as she sang softly, with every touch of her careful hand grabbing a vial, the vials on the ground shone, seeking their own colors.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 45: Moonless night (2) by Indra Translations.
Heat seized Vlad’s face, who had been watching their preparations for a while.
“What the hell!”
An island of intensely condensed flames burned the air around it, along with the Deathworm.
A fierce heat that seemed to come from afar.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 45: Moonless night (2) by Indra Translations.
It was a world far removed from his own.
“Lord Rutiger!”
Portly raised a hand in surprise at the intensity of the impulse that had reached them, but Vlad could only stare in astonishment at the force threatening to set his world on fire.
[It’s superficial. armor It wasn’t prepared.]
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 45: Moonless night (2) by Indra Translations.
Thud-thud-thud!
But the young Deathworm, even though it didn’t have a tough outer shell yet, was tenaciously enduring.
Kaaaaaah-! Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com.
Rutiger’s powerful blows only made it release a monotonous cry and hastily burrow into the ground.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 45: Moonless night (2) by Indra Translations.
A moment of silence.
At least, it was young enough to make even a small wound, which was quite an achievement.
Apparently, Rutiger’s blow was not enough to neutralize the Deathworm at once.
[It’s strong; even the best knight would be unable to face an enemy on the ground.]
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 45: Moonless night (2) by Indra Translations.
And then stillness.
Not a single thing moves on this vast plain.
Suddenly, the ground rumbled and began to crack.
Thud, thud, thud.

The gradual crack heads toward.
“Damn!”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 45: Moonless night (2) by Indra Translations.
“Follow me!”
At the same time, it was also where the wild horses that had fled were exhaling their exhaustion.
Where the pilgrims are.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 45: Moonless night (2) by Indra Translations.
“Why!”
“I need to do this quickly.”
“Dorothea…”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 45: Moonless night (2) by Indra Translations.
“If it’s almost here, I’ll move.”
“It’s almost here!”
Vlad, who had been observing the situation from the top of a hill, realized that Rutiger’s work would not be enough to resolve the situation.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 45: Moonless night (2) by Indra Translations.
“I said wait!”
There was Dorothea, smearing her tail with a strange paint color and leaving a trace on a piece of paper.
“…Are you using your tail?”
Vlad turned his head and looked back.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 45: Moonless night (2) by Indra Translations.
“That’s it!”
For a boy who had never seen a magician perform their magic, it was a scene that could only be described as fascinating.
“It’s the Sioux way!”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 45: Moonless night (2) by Indra Translations.
Dorothea lifted a piece of paper the size of her palm, as if she had finally finished.
“You can give it to Lord Rutiger. This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com. aspect He’ll use it to rub or cut the paper against an object, like a sword.”
[It’s too late.]
The trace glowed for a moment in the sunlight and then regained its color.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 45: Moonless night (2) by Indra Translations.
In the distance, herds of wild horses fleeing and the knights carrying the priests were rushing urgently.
“I think we’re too late…”
But the crack that the Deathworm was creating was already heading directly towards the pilgrims.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 45: Moonless night (2) by Indra Translations.
Dorothea was exhausted from the sudden burst of engravings, and Vlad was unable to mount his horse.
At Dorothea’s words, Vlad turned his head to look at Portly.
“What are you waiting for, do it!”
“Get on my horse!”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 45: Moonless night (2) by Indra Translations.
“I’ll be late even if I go now.”
Given the circumstances, the only person who could have delivered the paper to Rutiger would have been Portly.
[It’s too late to ride a horse; you can’t assume that an underground Deathworm has the same speed as a Deathworm above ground.]
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 45: Moonless night (2) by Indra Translations.
So she couldn’t be blamed.
“What can I do!”
Dorothea did what she could, but the given time was too short.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 45: Moonless night (2) by Indra Translations.
That there was only one way to get the paper to Rutiger in time for the Deathworm to pursue it.
Dorothea, crouched on the ground, her blue lips trembling.
“That…”
Vlad knew.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 45: Moonless night (2) by Indra Translations.
Vlad moistened his lips with his tongue and headed.
“You can’t ride a horse, can you?”
“I’ll go.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 45: Moonless night (2) by Indra Translations.
Tsk-tsk-.
In the opposite direction the knights had taken.
The rock that had been hit by the tip rolled down with a loud crash.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 45: Moonless night (2) by Indra Translations.
“It’s the only way,” he said, “so it’s a gamble.”
It wasn’t a cliff, but it was a hill with a deadly angle.
It was a steep hill that no horse could manage to descend.
Vlad had never been caught stealing as a child.

That the fastest way to a goal is a straight line.
He was elusive by nature, but he knew it wasn’t like that.
“If we go down here, we’ll make it in time.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 45: Moonless night (2) by Indra Translations.
And the same would happen now.
Not a single guard caught Vlad as he ran through the streets, over the walls, and through the shops.
“Complain later.”
“It’s almost a cliff here!”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 45: Moonless night (2) by Indra Translations.
The blonde-haired boy grabbed Dorothea’s imprint as if he wanted to snatch it away.
Unable to finish the sentence, the blonde-haired boy’s hair swayed down the dizzying slope.
“Hey!”
“I really didn’t want to not take the peanuts that day.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 45: Moonless night (2) by Indra Translations.
“Uh…”
There was the figure of a boy running down the steep slope as if he had wings.
Dorothea peeked down the hill to find Vlad, who had disappeared into the air.
“I heard you can’t ride…”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 45: Moonless night (2) by Indra Translations.
The imprint Dorothea left emitted a white glow in the hands of the blonde-haired boy.
***
[Sloooowly! artist Sloooowly! advance On tiptoes!]
A top prospect, watched and sponsored by the Bayezid family.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 45: Moonless night (2) by Indra Translations.
Taking Dorothea’s imprint, Vlad headed towards the almost vertical hill.
“It’s too noisy and distracting!”
It was a move he had learned to make with his life, like a child who could die tomorrow if he didn’t eat today.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 45: Moonless night (2) by Indra Translations.
In the first place, Rutiger is the one at odds with Joseph for the position of Patriarch.
I hope you don’t have to go out like this.
Moreover, all the knights here were among the highest-ranking members of House Bayezid, so there was no need for a mere squire to go to such extremes.
But Vlad wanted to do it.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 45: Moonless night (2) by Indra Translations.
First, he wanted to attack Rutiger’s knights for ignoring him and Joseph.
Vlad was aware of it.
The subject of animals makes me sick.
The second was for the black-haired horse, who was trying to protect the herd from the disastrous attack of the Deathworm.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 45: Moonless night (2) by Indra Translations.
The helplessness of that day was like a deep wound in the boy’s soul.
He knew what it was like for a vast and untouchable world to destroy your home.
“Ugh!” Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.
Hating not being anything, he ran down the hill, defending his actions to himself.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 45: Moonless night (2) by Indra Translations.
The slightest misstep, and Vlad slid down the steep slope.
He thought for a moment.
[Dodge!]
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 45: Moonless night (2) by Indra Translations.
But despite rolling violently over the rough terrain and colliding with rocks, Vlad seemed strangely indifferent.
The boy rolled down the hill shouting.
“Ugh! arcade Ugh!”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 45: Moonless night (2) by Indra Translations.
If the boy had opened his left eye and looked into the world of voices, he would have realized that his armor was now glowing white.
“…”
The white snake protected him.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 45: Moonless night (2) by Indra Translations.
The black-haired horse panting and running to save the herd.
And at the foot of the hill, there was someone else watching the glow that the boy couldn’t see.
To the horse’s eyes, the boy shone white.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 45: Moonless night (2) by Indra Translations.
In the world of the black horse, he saw a white light, reflecting the boy.
A star burning in white light, falling down the hill.
A bright and white star.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 45: Moonless night (2) by Indra Translations.
A white star submerged in the moonless night.
