I Became God of War's Youngest Disciple - Episode 111
111fury
A gloomy color forms on the retina..
A dead city was spread out under a green sky that I had never seen before..
The obnoxiously soaring building had an odd shape, what should I call it?.
It's twisted as if someone squeezed it..
The building was standing so well that it wouldn't be surprising if it collapsed right away..
coooooo-.
The blowing wind was as nasty as a monster's belch. Even though I'm outside, it feels stuffy and damp like inside a cave..
Kuhuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…….
A red light flashed from the window of the twisted building, and an evil laugh was heard..
I can feel the gaze peeking in this direction..
The sight of each other grew like a snowball, and my heart became heavy when I realized that there was not a single one among them..
‘Is the ambassador in a place like this?.’
I've had similar feelings.
Right after the Demon King of the Black Swamp was restored to power..
Ghost faces were carved into the bark of the trees in the forest, and ominous winds blew from all directions..
The bad thing is that the pressure I feel now is at least several times stronger than it was then..
[Yeonja, what the hell… Am I sane??]
Mushin said in an absurd voice.
[Do you know what kind of place this is? It's hell! The headquarter and twisted hometown of musical instruments! It's a place teeming with death.!]
‘I think so..’
Is it because of the influence of the instrument?.
I'm already feeling a little sluggish..
A forest of butterflies immersed in musical instruments - even in that place that simply imitated hell, I didn't last long and almost died..
So how long will my body last in real hell??
half a day?
one hour?
‘Rather, it is certain that we can return to the original world.?’
[… The rule from the beginning is that you cannot stay in another world for a long time. Otherwise, the evil spirit would not be summoned only through the river god ritual. The same goes for Yeonja. No matter how long you stay here, you will be forcibly repatriated at some point..]
‘At some point, exactly when-.’
[The timing of repatriation varies from person to person! I said it's dangerous because you don't know that.!]
Musin said with unusual anger..
[There is no guarantee that Yeonja will survive until that time! Why on earth would you do such an unreasonable thing?-.]
At that moment, Mu Xin’s voice completely disappeared..
‘Mr. Musin?’
[…….]
no answer.
It feels different than usual.
It's not like I fell asleep, it's like communication was forcibly cut off.…….
‘…….’
First of all, in my defense, I didn't throw myself into hell without a second thought..
It may not be without risk, but I decided that the risk was worth taking..
‘Come to think of it, Juan?’
They must have moved together, but I can't see them..
It was then that I heard a strange sound..
container… container…….
The moment I heard a sound like a ball bouncing somewhere beyond the building, the eerie laughter stopped all at once..
I could feel the owners of the gaze hurriedly hiding. As if you were scared.
At the same time, I feel a frighteningly large energy approaching me..
It was a feeling of intimidation that I had experienced before..
Before returning, when I saw the nine demon kings of the black swamp.
‘Devil.’
The moment those words crossed my mind, I took a deep breath without it being noticeable..
Will I finally be able to meet my brother-in-law??
[hook… … ! hook……!]
Finally, a mysterious protagonist appeared at the entrance of an unpopular alley..
Against a backdrop of dull darkness, a bloated protagonist is running towards me..
Even while kicking a ball..
[hook… … ! hook……!]
The waddling movements were comical, like a clown, and the way he was panting was also unsightly.…….
Strangely, I didn't find it funny at all..
Finally, the being came before me..
[Ho, ho ho ho…….]
I would guess his physique is around 3 meters tall.?
Although it is much larger than a human, it is bipedal and has two arms..
I even wore clothes.
Of course, that didn't mean I could treat this being like a human being..
[Oh, hello… … ! human! Ma, nice to meet you..]
In short, it was a green tongue dressed in clothes..
The clothes that did not fit her fat body were bulging as if they were about to burst, and her thick belly and flab were sticking out ugly through the torn clothes..
Of course, it wasn't the ambassador type..
“…Who are you?.”
[ah! I am… therefore… In your language, uh…….]
The monster took out a notebook from its arms..
And he flipped it over and said, Ah! And he let out an exclamation..
[Bang, ta, ta, it's ida……!]
“…….”
From what I remember, that was the name of the green-tongued demon lord..
Of course, it's probably not the same person..
The intimidation I felt was radiating from this monster, and in fact, the reluctant stares seemed to have disappeared as soon as this monster appeared..
I felt countless doubts when faced with the existence of the Demon King, but I just nodded and said,.
“My name is Luan Badniker..”
[okay. Oh, oh hoho! Lu, Luan…….]
Tangtata stammered and took out a mop from her arms..
And I wiped away the unpleasant liquid that was flowing from my whole body - it could be called sweat or saliva..
Maybe it's not a rag but a handkerchief.
Although I only saw two demon lords, their impressions were vastly different from those of the nine..
Of course, that doesn't mean you can relax..
container… container…….
Tangtata played by kicking the ball alone..
For a fat guy, he handled it pretty well..
He was playing without using his hands, bouncing around with his feet, knees, and even his head. When I saw him, I couldn't help but ask him..
“what is that?”
First of all, because he was a divine being, he used the honorific language..
If it's as I expected, I don't think I'll pay much attention to whether I speak informally or politely..
[Uh, huh? Are you interested in my ball??]
Tangtata smiled happily and rolled the ball towards me..
[Now, now… … ! Lose, pass... … ! Oh hoho…….]
Degurrrrr…….
The rolling ball touched the tip of my foot and stopped..
“…….”
I looked into Juan's empty eyes and said,.
“did you do it?”
[yes!]
“Why? This man must have been your minion.…….”
[Ha, minion? Oh no! He, he is my... uh…….]
Tangtata took out the notebook once again, flipped through it and said:.
[He was a business partner!]
“A business partner?”
[or not… partner… … ? Ugh, um. The continent’s language… Because it's so difficult…….]
“…….”
[Anyway, I am with that person... I said ‘Geooraae’.]
“A deal... … . You and Juan?”
[yes… … ! Well, I... I respect the creatures of the continent... … ! Boo, I'm jealous!]
Tangtata continued to wipe his sweat with a dark rag and said..
[Joe, isn't that great? Between personalities… Respect and… trust… … ! If that doesn't work out, then the transaction is... It can never come true... … ! Oh, what on earth do you trust and give what is mine to someone else? Ho, ho ho ho…….]
“…….”
[Well, the deal is… It's a good system... … ! We too... A system to emulate…….]
Not the right person to talk to.
I clicked my tongue and asked.
“What deal did you make with Juan??”
[It's all simple... … . This man... He said he would entertain me… … ! What I want... I said I would listen... … ! He borrowed power in return-.]
Tangtata said with a grin..
[Well, so… I recently… When I realized it was a toy, I wanted it again... I created ‘Juan Ball’…….]
“…….”
[Lu, Luan? Could you please pass the back ball to me??]
I didn't do that..
As I just sighed and stayed still, Tangtata suddenly became sullen..
[Hmm… … . This game... Looks like you don't like it... … . Drink, taste... You have to respect it…….]
“Where are we??”
[This is my territory... … ! Well, I call this place a city... I even gave it a name.……!]
Tangtata shouted, spreading his hands comically..
[Hell's Heart... … ! Hell's only and largest city……!]
I was curious and asked.
“…If it's the only city, doesn't it have to be the largest? There is no place to compare.”
[Cough……!]
At my words, Tangtata cleared his throat violently and then turned away..
[Oh, rest assured… … ! Luan Badnicker... You made this world... I know it's called hell... … ! This place, as far as this place… not a dangerous place……!]
“…….”
It's a city of hell.
At this point, I started laughing too..
Tangtata saw my smile and smiled..
This guy had facial features the size of rice, so his appearance was somewhat disgusting..
[Lou, Luan Badnicker. Please follow me... … ! Well, I was longing for inviting guests.……!]
“customer?”
[yes… … ! customer……!]
Tangtata laughed..
At first glance, countless teeth like saw blades were sticking out of the mouth opening..
“I'm not a guest.”
[yes……?]
“What I was trying to meet was the colorless devil..”
[Radish, greens, color... uh…….]
Tangtata thought deeply for a moment and an exclamation mark appeared above his head..
[ah… … ! Yeah, that's right……!]
“According to Juan, I guess I could have chosen the destination... What brought you to your district??”
[Well, that’s… Juan was mistaken… … . The moment I used the power borrowed from me... Because the destination is fixed here…….]
“…hmm.”
Was it like that?.
I felt sick inside..
In the end, I felt bad because it seemed like what Mushin said was true..
[however… Are you really… What an interesting human being.…….]
Tangtata looked at me and said.
[If a human sees me... Either... … . Bow down or... Go crazy... It would be…….]
“…….”
[Me, me and… Humans who can communicate... This is my first time… … . Oh hoho… Jae, that’s fun.…….]
I could feel the goodwill in Tangtata's eyes, but I felt a strong sense of dread..
The devil's favor.
[Uh, what do you think? Luan Badnicker... … . Hey, won't you be my partner??]
“partner?”
[Yes, yes... … . On behalf of that person earlier... I mean.]
I nodded and said.
“It's an honor that someone as high as the devil looks at me favorably. What do you do when you become a partner??”
[Rice, nothing special. All you have to do is entertain me sometimes..]
“Have fun?”
[yes… … ! The humans from before... He said he has someone he loves.…….]
Tangtata suddenly clenched his fists..
[Yes, love... … ! Well, I have that feeling... I admire you……!]
“…….”
[That human… He was suffering from some kind of illness... They say he doesn't have much time left to live... … . ah… … ! Wow, what a weak creature humans are.…….]
Tangtata let out an exaggerated sigh..
[Well, so… I said… … . That human… Ask for my heart... … . The expression the human showed at that time... You're so delicious... … ! city, city, example…….]
Tangtata continued speaking while wiping away the saliva that was flowing down..
[When I asked for his heart, the human cried out... … . They say I can give you anything else... Well, you can't do that. Wow, the expression on your face when you lose something valuable... It's the most fun……?]
“…….”
[As a result… I, the former human… It entertained me often… … . Lord, even until I die…….]
I saw Juan at my feet..
Maybe, it's about.
Even when I committed myself to the cult... A person named Juan may not have fallen this far..
The reason I became a member of the church may have been a decision to save the woman I truly loved..
Then, it may have been the woman's death that caused Juan to go completely crazy and become a priest..
It's unknown now..
Because the only man who knows the truth is already dead.
“Anyway, there's one thing I'd like to ask..”
[Ho, ho... Ask me anything... … ! Well, I know everything that partner is curious about... I will answer sincerely... I have an obligation……!]
Tangtata even clapped his hands and said.
Since he seemed willing, I was able to ask questions comfortably..
I ask, looking at Juan’s head still at my feet..
“Do you remember this man's name??”
[yes?]
Tangtata blinked his narrow eyes..
“This is the name of this person made of balls..”
[Uh... … . Writing, I don’t know.…….]
I burst out laughing.
Even giving it a disgusting nickname, Juanbol and all, this being has already erased the existence of Juan from my mind..
It was proof that people are not treated like people..
Actually, when this devil called Tangtata spoke to me, I also had this thought:.
If communication is possible, wouldn’t dialogue also be possible??
Wasn't it the lack of common sense that made Juan a ball?.
It wasn't.
Even though they have emotions and can communicate well, they are not all the same person..
Humans and demons were inherently designed to not be able to understand each other..
Somehow, at this moment, I could understand a little bit the infinite hatred that Iron Blood Prince has for demons..
‘then… What should I do?.’
I thought as I touched the coins in my pocket..
