I Became God of War's Youngest Disciple - Episode 119

119fury

Degurrrrr…….

The ball that was rolling just happened to land on the toe of my foot, so I picked it up..

It's nice that the monster's bodily fluids seem to disappear along with the halo of light. Because it doesn’t get dirty even if you put it in your pocket..

purple ball.

That means that this monster we ran into on the way was the [owner of the cave] that Charles was talking about.…….

How is it so sturdy?.

“Don't touch me. it's mine.”

Charon spoke in a low tone and aimed his bow at me..

Then Hector was startled and stopped him..

“Now, wait a minute. Stop and see.”

“Are you protecting me because I’m your younger brother? I'm disappointed, Hector Badnicker. I forgot that I'm on a test right now-.”

“It's not like that. for now…….”

Hector looked at me with complicated eyes..

“you… Is it really Luan??”

“huh.”

“Probably not undead?”

“Please take a look. I'm tired of that misunderstanding.”

Although I only experienced it once.

“Was he alive?…….”

“of course.”

“So where have you been all this time? What has she been through??”

“…….”

I saw Hector for a moment.

First of all, this guy is also a badnik. Unlike the other guys he covered earlier, he might be okay with telling the truth..

If it weren't for Charon next to me, it might have been like that..

“We'll talk about that later, but first I have to achieve my goal..”

“purpose?”

I silently showed the purple ball.

As he was a guy who understood the situation quickly, Hector’s expression hardened immediately..

“…Are you not satisfied with just that ball, and are you going to take away both of our purple balls as well??”

“I'm in a bit of a desperate situation..”

“under.”

Charon sneered openly..

“I don't know where you got it from, but with your skills,-.”

“Shut up and focus, Charon Woodjack..”

Hector warned in a low voice..

“If you let your guard down, all the balls you have will be taken away. That guy... Stronger than the monster we just defeated.”

“…….”

Charon didn't seem to completely believe Hector's words..

He looked at me with an expression on his face and asked.

“…[Was it you who hurt [the owner of the cave]??”

“that's right. Since you stole my prey, I have nothing to say even if I get attacked.?”

Then Hector blurted out.

“Even if I just pass the ball over?”

“what?”

“What bullshit.”

Charon turned his head and glared, and I also looked at Hector with slightly surprised eyes..

If I were Hector just a short time ago, I would never have made this suggestion..

It is true that I fatally wounded the man who seemed to be the owner of that cave.…….

That guy just ran away like that..

It means that the wound was not serious enough to cause complete death..

In other words, these two guys went through a lot of trouble to catch him, and they will obediently hand over to me the result of the effort they put in..

‘Of course, Hector knows my skills to some extent..’

I give up because I will fight and lose… This option would not have been available to the existing Hector..

In other words, the current Hector has learned to bend his pride..

“I'm sorry, but that won't work..”

I laughed heartily and said.

On the contrary, Hector’s reaction just made me more curious..

I wanted to see for myself how this guy spent the four weeks..

“I thought so.”

Hector sighed and.

Kyaang!

Immediately after finishing the attack, he responded to the Seven Sins Sword I swung..

Hwiyu, a whistle came out naturally..

The force felt from the clashing swords is quite strong..

As we briefly exchanged sword strikes, I realized that Hector's sword skills had improved significantly..

That's not all.

“Brother, did you spar with Tanko Sensei??”

“okay.”

I knew it.

For some reason, I felt an animal-like force in Geomro..

Such barbaric movements were something Hector had never seen before, but it was natural since he had only received systematic lessons from a swordsman instructor since he was young..

‘Good?’

Flexibility has been added to the previously rigid swordsmanship..

Disappearing your shortcomings is an achievement that can only be achieved by realizing and acknowledging your own shortcomings..

It is surprisingly rare to find a warrior who can honestly accept his or her shortcomings..

On the other hand.

Peeing-!

Avoided an arrow that came in during a fierce battle..

“You haven't grown at all..”

“How dare you judge me??”

I laughed and then shouted at Hector..

Hector momentarily tightened his sword hand to defend himself, but the purpose of the palm filled with internal power was to push this guy away rather than for destructive power..

“Pfft……!”

Hector's body floated and flew all the way to the cave wall..

It looked like he was going to immediately adjust his stance, but before that, he had already thrown the Seven Deadly Sins Sword..

deeply!

Of course, no matter how much I do, I have no intention of killing or seriously injuring Hector here..

The sword of the Seven Deadly Sins pierced through Hector's clothes and became embedded in the wall..

It will take some time to break out of the structure of the clothes..

In the meantime, run towards Charon..

piping-.

Once again Charon shot an arrow. I dodged two shots and caught the other one with his hand..

“under… … ! Grab this too!”

Charon twisted the corner of his mouth and shot only one arrow this time..

Orbit enough to be honest.

‘They're selling traps too obviously..’

Isn't it because I only deal with beasts and monsters??

No matter how clever you are, you're probably no better than a human..

I burst out laughing and decided to give this obvious trap a try..

He caught the flying arrow with his free hand..

“To be stupid!”

The moment Charon sneered, heat was felt from the arrow he had caught..

Boom!

Then there was a small explosion..

As the dust blocked my view, I heard Charon's voice..

“That's what happens when you carelessly believe the enemy's words, Luan Badniker. I can't use that arm anymore-.”

At that moment, I cleared away the dust and appeared right in front of Charon..

Seeing Charon's eyes widen, he handled the other arrow he was still holding like a dagger..

“Pfft!”

Charon quickly concentrated on dodging..

“Are you desperate to avoid it? Did you put poison on the arrowhead??”

There seemed to be no time to answer.

Meanwhile, I felt a presence behind me, and it was Hector approaching..

“…….”

Even though they occupy the rear, there is no sign of them attacking easily. I realized that the gap that appeared at first glance was a trap..

I said, still attacking Charon..

“Brother.”

“What, what??”

“My brother could use a little less beating today. step back.”

“uh?”

Hector asked back in an unusually stupid voice, so I spoke once more..

“Step back. If you don't want to fall behind.”

Hector was silent for a moment, then took out a purple ball from his arms, put it down, and said:.

“…thanks.”

Then Charon burst out laughing and said,.

“These bastards are talking so damn much about being of the same blood.-.”

Wow!

I struck Charon's cheek with the hand holding the arrow..

“──.”

Then this guy made a stupid expression, like someone who got slapped for the first time..

No, is this the first time I've been hit at this point??

anyway.

“Since your brother is missing, you should get your share of the punishment.?”

“Fuck that bullshit.-.”

Wow!

“What do you think of me-.”

Wow!

“listen to people-!”

Wow! Wow!

Hector was silent for a moment and then spoke..

“I am… I'll check to see if the way out is completely blocked..”

“Please.”

“Now, wait! Hector. How about our temporary alliance?-.”

“I don't remember anything like that.”

“This bitch-.”

Wow! Wow!

Hector pretended not to hear the familiar sound and turned away coldly..

* * *

Finally got three purple balls.

Actually, for my purposes there is still work to be done..

It's about keeping those with similar scores in check..

My current score was 89, which is 75 points added from 14 points.…….

I have all the purple balls worth 25 points each, but I still have the 15 and 20 point balls left..

Roughly speaking, guys with a score between 30 and 60 points can easily turn me around depending on the balls they get..

After thinking about it for a moment, I had a great idea..

“Okay, guys. The three of us are temporary allies from now on..”

“…….”

Charon's mouth twitched at the mention of a temporary alliance, but he didn't say anything because he had just received physical therapy..

Since I also often received similar treatment from Master, I was able to easily recognize such signs..

Hector asked.

“It's a temporary alliance?”

“huh. You two want to stay on top too.?”

“Of course.”

“good. Then let's do it like this. First of all, I will continue to take credit from you two from now on..”

Then the expressions on the two guys’ faces became worth seeing..

“In other words, you will maintain your current score until the end of this test..”

“…I don't know what you're talking about.”

“It's simple. If you want to complete the course now, you will have to keep other leaders in check to prevent them from accumulating any more merit..”

So my plan is this.

All Youngdos who participated in the special test maintain their scores at the time of participation..

Charon spoke in a harsh voice at my arbitrary words..

“That's not an alliance, it's just that we have to clean up after you.?”

“Do you really think so? Hey, Charon. Think carefully. My score is only 89 even with the 3 purple balls added. Even if you die and wake up, it's impossible to get first place.”

“…….”

“My goal is to finish in the top three. Because of personal reasons, I have to complete the course somehow. So, it’s okay for Brother Hector to surpass my score. I won't say anything.”

“hmm.”

Hector realized the true meaning of my words and nodded..

“understood… … . Obviously, if I want to be in the top 3 with my current points, I have no choice but to steal all the credit from other Youngdos..”

“that's right. Charon, your points were 102, right? For example, if Seren gets 3 navy balls, she gets 60 points, for a total of 109 points. You lose first place.”

“…….”

“In the meantime, I'm asking you to keep the other Youngdo guys in check as well..”

It seemed like only then did Charon realize that I wasn't talking nonsense, and he thought for a moment..

To be honest, there is one way to make him submit with his fists, but this guy also has his own lines that he cannot yield..

He's not a guy with low self-esteem to begin with, so there's a limit to how you can force him into submission by squeezing him..

Charon said after thinking as expected..

“…If that's how my ranking stays, good. I don't accept it.”

“It was good. Then, let's get along well and take 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place..”

I smiled and held out my hand..

“Aja, aja, fighting!”

“…….”

“…….”

However, the two most blunt leaders among the people at this retreat did not respond to my slogans..

* * *

Leaving Charon and Hector behind, I left the cave..

It wouldn't be a bad idea to hang out with those guys, but somehow I suddenly felt like I wanted to be alone..

‘Today is Friday…….’

The exam ends on Monday morning.

In other words, I still have three days left..

Three days is both short and long, and in my personal opinion, it was also the most appropriate time to take a break..

When I was concentrating on my training in Yeongsan, I often received leave from my teacher, and even then, I only took three days off..

- After all, Master knows something. Basically, a 3-day, 2-night vacation is the best. 2 days and 1 night is too short, and 4 days and 3 nights is too long..

The talkative third brother also strongly agreed with my opinion..

Somehow, I thought that there would be rare opportunities to see [Butterfly Forest] like this in the future, so I decided to treat this place as a good vacation spot..

First, I used a cabin to the east of the camp as my vacation home, and briefly escaped regular life..

I took 3 to 4 hour naps, but at night I couldn't sleep and stayed up until dawn..

I lay down on a thick tree branch and counted the stars visible between the leaves..

I forgot everything, including the fact that I was currently on a retreat, the demon lord I met in hell, and even the mission given to me..

I didn't even think about flying..

I was satisfied as it was my first lazy life in a long time, but the only thing that was disappointing was the meal..

When I was hungry, I caught fish from the stream and grilled it to eat, but of course it wasn't delicious..

I wanted to treat myself with some other meat or fruit, but…….

The monster disappeared as soon as it was killed, and although it was late winter and the first month of the year had arrived, the weather was still cold and it was difficult to pick and eat the fruit..

Anyway, I felt very peaceful emotionally..

‘Now that I think about it, I have never had such a peaceful time since my return..’

I'm not talking about returning from the retreat..

15There was little time to rest after waking up to Sal's Luan Badniker..

When I first opened my eyes, I almost cut my tendons..

Afterwards, he was in danger of death in the Jewel Mountains, and even after returning home, he was caught up in various incidents..

Actually, I am a warrior by nature, so such an intense life was not bad.…….

I also thought that people need rest..

Sometimes it feels good to be alone like this.

Whenever I felt the presence of another spirit, I deliberately avoided it, and I didn't even touch the monster first unless it invaded my territory..

Like that for a day or two... … . Finally, on the last morning of the retreat.

“…….”

I watched the rising sun and performed the Cheonhwa First Ball for the first time in a long time..

And I was a little surprised..

I don't know the reason, but the internal energy of the Danjeon was stabilized in an ideal shape..

What should I say?.

It occurred to me that my external and internal skills, which had been creaky since my return, were finally in harmony at this moment..

“ah-.”

I suddenly realized.

The body also needs a period of time to adapt. Sometimes you need time to take a breather.

Hwareuk…….

I started flying, enjoying the morning sunlight..

harmonious body.

And Chloride First Factory has reached this stage..

The total amount of internal energy accumulated in the sky has increased significantly..

While I was throwing it away, I also tried melting Youngok once..

“oh.”

As expected, the work speed has become much faster, and at the current rate, the spirit prison will be able to be completely melted within half a year at the latest..

“today… I think I've taken two steps forward.?”

I giggled and got up. The exceptionally refreshing air reaches my lungs..

4Just a week ago, the early morning in the forest was very chilly, but now the weather has warmed up a lot..

Will spring come soon?.

“……?”

At that moment, a presence that could not be ignored was caught in the developed sense..

The looming owner was running secretly but quickly through the forest, getting closer to me..

First off, I don't think there's any hostility..

pot-.

Eventually, a neatly dressed man appeared in front of me..

It's a familiar face..

“you must be…….”

“This is Jane, the collector..”

“It did.”

Jane bowed politely..

Somehow, he seems much more polite than when we met before..

“Do you have something to do with me?.”

“Master Luan, the general situation was relayed to me by the teaching teacher. I also heard the story during the delivery process. First of all, I would like to express my respect for your achievements..”

“…….”

Saying that, Jane bowed once again..

When I looked up again, I could see the favor towards me, but even if I was the son of an iron-blooded master, receiving the collector's favor was a completely different matter..

Like Keian, these people are hunting dogs who, in some cases, point their swords at direct blood relatives of the family..

‘He is also a user of Badknicker..’

As a family where skill and performance are everything, the subordinates also have similar tendencies..

I nodded and said.

Somehow, I felt like I knew what this guy had come to see me for..

“Entry of outsiders is prohibited during the retreat..”

“yes.”

“But the fact that you showed up proudly…….”

“…In Badniker, there is only one person who can stand above additive law..”

Jane said with a faint smile..

“The Lord of the House is calling.”
