Revenge of the Iron-Blooded Sword Hound - Chapter 17
Episode 17 Eating alone (4)
‘Enough.’
Bikir closed the book.
I memorized the contents of the book without making a single mistake.
I memorized it so intensively that I could not only recite it with my eyes closed, but even recite it backwards.
and. The results appeared immediately.
Ssuck- Ssuck- Sassak!
As he learned from the book, Bikir set up a sword and drew a sword strike in the air.
The first teeth are drawn sharply.
And soon the second and third teeth.
This was possible even with an 8-year-old body.
Kirik!
Soon the fourth tooth was drawn. It was Baskerville’s 4th formula that he used as his main specialty before returning.
but.
…Pat!
Bikir’s hand draws a sharper trajectory once more beyond the Baskerville 4th.
5th tooth. It was a little small and blunt, but it was definitely the fifth tooth.
Baskerville Type 5.
It was recreated, albeit precariously, in Bikir’s hands!
“……oh my god.”
Bikir repeated the gesture he had just made several times.
All results are successful.
Although the trajectory of the sword was not drawn properly due to the small hands and short arms of a child, it was clearly felt.
A fifth tooth was growing.
“……Where’s the knife?”
If the knife had been here right now, I would have blown the aura right away.
However, it is very unlikely that there will be a sword in the library.
However, it would be wrong to bring out Baalzebub sleeping in the artery of the wrist.
well anyway
I was so happy that I was about to cry.
The feeling of something hot rising up in my chest and kicking my throat.
Bikire desperately calmed this overwhelming feeling.
‘Now, if only mana is supported, I will be able to rise above the level of my previous life unconditionally.’
In terms of swordsmanship alone, he had already learned something much stronger and more dignified than in his previous life.
Since it was possible to strengthen up to 10 meals, not just 5 meals, the future possibilities were also endless.
Bikir closed her eyes and checked the mana in her body.
Mana Hall, which had been enlarged by the blessing of the River Styx, was still slowly accumulating mana.
I couldn’t judge the exact level, but through this insight, Bikir’s level has definitely risen to the next level.
‘……Graduator!’
From Sword Expert Advanced to Graduate Beginner.
A graduate who can ignite a liquid aura at the tip of a sword is on a different level from a sword expert.
Graduates can wrap the aura not only on the tip of the sword but also on the entire sword, and this aura is as dense as a liquid and has a fairly free range of change in form.
When the liquid-type aura blade of the graduate thus created collides with the gas-type aura blade of the sword expert, a superiority-negative relationship is formed as distinct as when steam and water collide.
Graduates are combat weapons with physical abilities beyond human limits.
Their number leads the family’s status, and furthermore, it becomes a measure that symbolizes the empire’s military power.
Bikir reached this stage at the age of 30 before returning.
……And after the return, the current age of Bikir is only 8 years old.
It was a huge improvement that couldn’t even be compared to before.
It is a dream state that quite a few swordsmen cannot reach in their lifetime.
As a mage, it’s probably on the same level as a 4th circle master.
It was clear that in all of the Baskervilles’ nearly hundred years, it would be difficult to find anyone who had achieved this level of achievement at this age.
“…Besides. The atmosphere of swordsmanship has changed drastically.”
The swordsmanship that Bikir used to use was the ‘piercing fang’ swordsmanship, which was basically learned by the hounds of the Baskerville family.
Stinging fangs swordsmanship. 4 of them.
Bikir has penetrated numerous lines of fire with four fangs that pierce the enemy’s vital points like an awl.
However, the stabbing fang swordsmanship was just as risky.
It quickly becomes stronger so that it can be used in practice, but the limits of growth are clear.
In addition, instead of being able to kill the enemy with certainty, the risk that he had to take was great.
In other words, it is this ‘piercing fang’ swordsmanship that can only be taught to hounds to use as discard cards.
However, the swordsmanship Bikir learned this time was different.
As the name suggests, this swordsmanship is insidious and painful, and moves slowly without revealing its strength and aggression.
Pretending that nothing happened, the melody of the knife feels elegant and dignified in a way.
However, there is a lot of malice in it to give the other person the worst pain.
Once you succeed in stabbing once, you will feel that it is better to die than to be brutally attacked without a break.
It is the perfect swordsmanship ‘Landing Ambush’ that allows you to thoroughly protect yourself despite a mad onslaught.
“Perfect for hiding power.”
Bikir murmured quietly.
At first glance, the dosari resembled a stabbing fang quite a bit for an ambush.
That’s why it shouldn’t be too difficult to hide your swordsmanship skills.
In the first place, the name of the swordsmanship is ‘Ambush Chi (埋伏齒)’.
Bikir looked around and confirmed to the end that there were no watching eyes.
The sense of exhilaration at having risen to a higher level was making my heart pound.
Buzzing –
The sound of a fly flapping its wings in your ears.
Looking down at my wrist, Baalzebub sticks out the tip of a black awl.
“I’m in.”
Bikir severely rebuked Baalzebub for not revealing his teeth.
On the one hand, he was coldly calculating how much influence this Baalzebub would have on his current skills.
Bikir van Baskerville.
8 years old.
Combining the level of swordsmanship that can stably reveal four teeth and the realization of the aura that has been embodied at the level of thin liquid, it can be said that he is a beginner-level graduate.
If the worn-out sense of combat from the previous life, the fifth tooth that can be drawn unstable, and the power of Baalzebub, the demonic sword that can absorb monster skills, are added, it will be able to demonstrate more than that.
‘If I put my mind to it, I think I’ll be able to deal with even intermediate graders.’
If it’s an assassination, it’s 100%, if it’s a head-to-head match, it’s about a 50% chance.
“…The question is, how far will you reveal your skills?”
Who would believe me if I said that I reached the graduate school at the age of only 8 years old?
However, it is foolish to show off one’s skills intact.
When you live in the original world, you have to hide about 30% of your power.
“…”
Bikir thought for a moment about how to behave properly as an eight-year-old.
And soon the answer came.
It is a level that can give Hugo a moderate amount of anticipation and eat away at the stall, yet not make the enemies around him too wary.
There is no need to live a frustrating life while hiding your power.
Rather, you have to show your strength in moderation to have a chance to escape from Hugo’s surveillance network.
‘For example, being dispatched to a province or entering an academy.’
Vikir will have to report the results to Hugo as soon as he leaves the library.
And I have already finished calculating what kind of attitude I should take on the test bed of the proof.
yet.
Bikir took a magnifying glass from his pocket and put it by the window for a long time.
Tsutsutsutsutsu……
The cover of the swordsmanship manual of ‘Dusari is ambush’ gradually turns black as it is exposed to light through a magnifying glass.
Roaring!
A fire that will soon burn.
Vikir looked down at the burning swordsmanship manual.
Eventually, the swordsmanship book containing the 10 types of Baskervilles disappeared from this world forever.
It only remains in Vikir’s mind.
The sound of servants scurrying was heard in the distance.
“Oh, what a smell this is!”
“Sniff sniff and catch it!”
“It’s an area that doesn’t even have preservation magic! Aaaaa!”
The servants rushed in with water jars and faced Bikir with an apologetic expression.
“Sorry. I left my magnifying glass everywhere… I’ll tell the butler if it’s something I absolutely have to report.”
Upon hearing Bikir’s words, the servants waved their hands as if it was absurd.
“Ah, it’s not something the boy should apologize for.”
“It’s our fault for not taking care of you properly.”
“It’s fortunate that it’s a place where miscellaneous books are gathered hehe.”
The servants seemed to pay attention to what Bikir had to say, ‘if it is something that must be reported’.
Bikir said, looking at the ashes scattered on the floor.
“Well, it was a miscellaneous book with little value. It wouldn’t be a bad thing to assume that it didn’t exist from the beginning. As you all know, the butler is quite busy with the ruby mine dispute with the House of Morgue, right? Where can you afford to pay attention to trivial matters like this? there will be.”
At those words, the servants nodded eagerly.
“Ah! Yes, I think so.”
“It’s the lower ones like us. We always want the upper ones to feel comfortable.”
“If only the boy would turn a blind eye to us, what ah~”
It’s good for them to be able to skip the annoying report.
“Yeah. I’m sorry that there will be a lot of work to do with the books and cleaning. I remember the contents of the burnt book, so I’ll copy it back and fill it up properly.”
Bikir turned around after making it clear to the finish.
‘He’s a good man. I’ll have to think about the position of the servants and tell the other kids about this story.’
‘omg! hey! Then you have to tell me about the book ride!’
‘It’s just a compliment! He’s nice and has a good impression!’
Hearing has become more sensitive as it rises to the level.
I could hear the servants whispering behind me, but I didn’t pay much attention.
This is because I have to practice how to respond to Hugo’s call as soon as I leave the library.
