I Became God of War's Youngest Disciple - Episode 133
133fury
The atmosphere on the way to the islands was relaxed..
It felt like the loose atmosphere created after the retreat continued until the carriage trip.?
It is natural as there are no hardships or crises..
But now it's a little different.
A tense atmosphere was created just before war broke out..
Of course, it was because of the Goodspring guys who joined along the way.…….
Five days have passed since the carriage journey began, and three days have passed since Goodspring joined us..
Since we used separate carriages, we rarely encountered those guys except when eating..
First of all, it seemed clear that they were conscious of this area..
In fact, if that was all there was to be no reason to be this nervous, is it because Butterfly Goodspring was completely defeated??
There was a certain degree of hostility mixed in the gaze from over there..
“There doesn't seem to be much to see except for the butterfly good spring..”
Lunch time on the fifth day.
Charon, who had finished eating all of the stew, looked at me and said, and Zeros, who had just finished drinking water, nodded and added..
“I guess so. From the beginning, I heard that Good Spring's certification ceremony was an extension of the exchange meeting. I don't know the level of the instructor or the quality of the education, but the harshness is nothing compared to a retreat..”
“Today they started an argument about something strange..”
Evan spoke in an unusually angry voice..
“What a fight?”
“While I was boiling the stew, a certain spirit looked sideways and laughed openly. Why do the leaders of Badniker eat boiled pork porridge?.”
Did these words become a catalyst?.
One by one, the other guys reported their atrocities..
“I practice swordsmanship for a bit before eating, but someone asks why I do gymnastics on a moonlit night? Bastards without sprouts…….”
“I finally mustered up the courage to go say hello, but ended up being laughed at for no reason.…….”
“He told me out loud that I was the size of a pea.!”
Charles, who heard the whole story, sighed and said.
“So, they are secretly arguing. It's been a while since I remembered my days as a socialite..”
“If you go out with a straight face, you'll end up being the fool. I guess they only learned how to handle things while we were rolling through the forest..”
Probably not..
At least Butterfly Goodspring's management skills were poor..
I saw the spirits of Goodspring.
As Charon said.
There is no need to look deeply, you can see it just by looking at it..
Most of them are children who were raised well in their families..
‘no. It's not like I grew up beautifully.…….’
I feel like these guys just before they went through the training camp.?
I don't really want to claim that Badniker's retreat is superior, but.
The more we focus on nurturing the next generation of heroes, the more we have no choice but to acknowledge the effectiveness of training sessions..
‘Even if you're a bad nicker, there's no way you'll be happy about the deaths of young people..’
Nevertheless, the reason why life-threatening threats were placed at the retreat is simple..
If you want to be a hero anyway, you will inevitably face such danger at any time..
And the people who save their lives in that situation have already been through similar crisis situations..
I don't know what the curriculum for the certification meeting is like.…….
One thing is clear.
Those guys don't have the unique atmosphere of those who have passed through the land of death..
“What should I do, brother?.”
Charon looked at me and asked in a low voice..
Every time this guy calls me brother, I feel like he's drawing people's attention, so I hit him a few times, and now he whispers low so the other guys can't hear..
I said while looking at Hector standing a little away..
“Now, it will only take a day or two to reach the islands... For now, let's watch a little longer..”
“All right.”
Of course, if my prediction is correct, I think something will happen before we arrive at the island..
I didn't say that much.

Carriage travel is boring..
The excitement of starting a trip disappears before half a day has passed.…….
If you look at the scenery outside the window for an hour, it no longer looks beautiful..
But I didn't really have a chance to be bored during this trip..
“Stay focused, master..”
Arjan’s sonorous voice erased all my thoughts..
“Slowly, focus your mind on the location of the hundreds of eyes. It might be helpful to think of it as moving mana..”
Now, I was receiving training on how to control the power of the Divine Beast in the servant's carriage where Arjan was..
This may be the reason why this trip wasn't boring..
Of course, I know better than anyone else that Arjan is qualified for education..
“…It's hard to concentrate because I have a scar on my back..”
Arjan laughed lowly at my grumbling and said,.
“You are right. A person's concentration comes from their gaze, and if it's not in your field of vision, it won't be easy to concentrate..”
As you said.
Unless you have eyes on the back of your head, you won't be able to see what's carved on your back..
“The engraved location is truly evil. ah. For reference, where is Arjan??”
“It is engraved near both temples. So, I sympathize with the owner’s difficulties to some extent..”
temple?
I had no idea it was because of the hair..
“It may be a little difficult now, but once you get through this step, the benefits will be much greater..”
“For example?”
“Basically, you can hide the location of the scars, and since it is an unexposed area, there will be less chance of damage..”
“ah. It looks like the number hundreds has been damaged. If that happens, will the contract be terminated??”
“It depends on the degree, but for now, yes. Of course, it would be possible to renew the contract, but it would be difficult. Since Shinsu basically regards Suheun as his own, he is greatly disappointed when the contractor shows lack of care..”
Certainly, if this is true, it is better to place it on the back of the waist rather than the back of the hand or forearm..
Unless you get hit, the risk of damage is low..
“That's all for today..”
“It'll be okay?”
“yes. Master's ability to adapt is frighteningly fast. At the current rate, you may be able to partially transform yourself into a god within a month..”
In a word, Shinsuhwa is an advanced technique that applies power..
As a technique to maximize physical ability, you can think of Seren when fighting Arjan and Hariba in the Jewel Mountains..
It is said that if there is a side effect that is not a side effect of Shinsuhwa, it is a slight change in appearance.…….
In Arjan's case, deer horns sprouted from both temples, and Seren's fingernails and toenails grew abnormally long..
‘I am?’
Since I made a contract with the divine beast called the snake, my tongue splits and scales grow..
Surely the legs won't become one and end up like a snake's tail??
‘…Should I have just signed a contract with a different Shinsu?.’
It looks like a snake and a human combined..
No matter how much I think about it, I can only see a future where I become a Lizardman..
‘If it's really weird, I'll have to find another Shinsoo.…….’
It may seem difficult to cancel a contract that has been concluded, but looking at the case of Iron Blood Ball, it seems possible to contract with multiple divine beasts..
‘Shinsuhwara…….’
If possible, I want to succeed before I get to the islands..
* * *
We prepared for camping as the sun was setting..
Of course, it wasn't a grand preparation..
The inside of the carriage was not a bedroom, but it was a great place to live that would be a shame to compare it to a tent or sleeping bag..
In other words, practically preparing for camping meant finding a suitable flat area around sunset and preparing for dinner..
After finishing the meal with neither good nor bad stew and slightly hard bread, most of the spirits went to practice or went into the carriage to rest..
Lately, whenever I've been outside, I've gotten caught up in a fight with the Goodspring guys, so I've been in the mood for a carriage whenever possible..
I usually took lessons from Arjan or spent time chatting in the carriage, but…….
Today, for some reason, I felt like I wanted to breathe the night air, so I walked around the nearby forest..
“oh…….”
Then, I found a fairly large lake some distance away..
There happened to be a fairly flat rock near the lake, so I sat cross-legged on it..
I was planning to think a little more about Shinsuhwa here..
‘I feel like I'm going to catch something..’
Arjan said that it would take at least a month for even partial conversion to success.…….
Actually, my current stage is not one of adaptation, but of strength..
In other words, at this stage, it is right to use the power of the divine beast right away..
Of course, Rise also said that it would take some time to get used to it..
- The most important thing is the image.
- image?
- That's right. If you have made a contract with Shinsu, you must have met him face to face. Try to recall the feeling of the divine beast that you saw with your own eyes and focus on the number of times. If the memory of that time feels as clear as the scenery you saw just before, it will become a waterway and open the way..
It feels like Lycerradigos.…….
‘Gloomy, dull, arrogant, hates to lose, hates Assad.’
…Isn’t this an impression rather than a feeling?.
It didn't seem like it would be of much help, so I thought of a black snake made out of Lise's hair..
‘deep and dark.’
Other than that?
Is there any hint in what Rise said?.
- My name is Lyserradigos All High Mood. An evil dragon swimming in the deepest darkness, a mage of the black heavens who could not dye even the seven colors that crossed the sky..
‘The evil dragon swimming in the deepest darkness.’
Somehow, the moment I thought back on those words, I could clearly feel the scars on the nape of my neck..
Wow-.
It makes a strange sound and seems to glow slightly, but I'm not sure about this..
However, it seemed like I was clearly aware of exactly where and in what form it was engraved..
“…….”
I opened my eyes.
At that time, dark clouds were swallowing up the moonlight, so the fairly large lake looked dark, like a hole of unknown depth..
Four dragons. In other words, this weapon.
Snakes that envy dragons are called Imoogi, but do all snakes really hope to become dragons??
Aren’t some snakes content with just being snakes?.
At least in my memories, RiSe was confident..
Even though he called himself an Imoogi, his voice overflowed with pride and pride that he couldn't hide..
‘snake laughing at dragon.’
That is the identity of the divine beast, Black Death Dragon, that I felt..
Why did I suddenly have this thought?.
Because I thought that swimming under this dark lake that I see now would be much more suitable for a snake..
If the world beyond the clouds is the realm of dragons, then the wet lake under the moonlight is the realm of snakes..
‘ah…….’
A brief realization immediately led to change..
The moment I felt a chill on the back of my neck, all five senses in my body became tense and the veil of night lifted..
For a moment, I thought the moonlight had fallen again, but it wasn't..
The world I see has changed.
‘and…….’
The surroundings appear as bright as daylight..
Even if you use the painting eye, you won't have this level of vision..
I walked to the lakeside and checked my reflection on the dark water..
“Ugh.”
I saw a vertically slit pupil..
It wasn't as bad as I thought, but it gave off a somewhat evil look..
‘I don't already have a nice face, but I got scolded..’
The moment I sighed in despair, I felt the presence of someone a long way away..
I looked back slightly and saw the butterfly Goodspring wandering in the dark forest..
What are you doing??
When I looked at it quietly, I realized I wasn't wandering..
This guy was slowly getting closer to where I was..
Sigh…….
I saw the surface again with the power of the Divine Beast in my possession..
And after confirming that my torn pupil had returned to its original state, I looked ahead..
Immediately after, a butterfly appeared through the grass..
“…ah. was here.”
The butterfly said with a smiling face.
“found me?”
“huh.”
“Do you have anything to do with me?.”
“I know you. Badknicker's incompetent child?”
I answered the butterfly's words while tilting my head..
“I'm Luan.”
“okay. That's right. Luan Badnicker. The youngest son of a fool who sold the family's treasured sword..”
I think I know roughly what purpose I came here for..
I picked my ear canal and asked to confirm..
“Are you arguing now??”
“What a fuss. You are not worth that much. Your value is nothing more than a way to vent your anger..”
It's rather refreshing to say it so bluntly..
“Did you come alone?.”
Of course, I saw him approaching alone, but I asked first to confirm..
“okay. There's no one around here. The carriage is so far away that even if you scream, you won't be able to reach it. why. I was trying to reach my brother.?”
“…….”
“But what was Badknicker? The brothers are almost enemies? Was it because of the Iron Blood Ball's policy? … . I heard he has a really bad relationship. I looked at you, but your brother didn't make eye contact with you even once. Every time I saw you, I blatantly avoided your gaze.”
“Brother Hector tends to avoid me a bit..”
“okay. When I looked at it, I got the exact estimate..”
There was cruelty in the butterfly's laughter..
“Even if you get hurt, it won't be a problem.”
“…….”
“Of course, the title will be a couplet. It feels like the youngest members of both families, Goodspring and Badknicker, are competing against each other.?”
“aha.”
I got up from my seat.
Unfortunately, the Sword of Seven Deadly Sins is no longer available. Because I left it in the carriage..
The butterfly must have seen me groping my waist and said with a grin.
“Would you like me to lend you a sword? Actually, it's not fun for me to get beat up one-sidedly.-.”
I suddenly showed both fists to the butterfly and said,.
“What does this look like?”
“It's a hand. Who do you think is a fool??”
“Wrong.”
I shook my head..
“Let me introduce you. This guy's name is 'politeness', this guy's name is 'modesty'.”
“…what?”
“In other words,?”
The butterfly responded like a person possessed by something..
“…manners?”
“yes.”
I nodded, then bumped my fists..
Boom… … . The moment the crash sound spread around, Nabi burst out laughing..
“Haha. You even have time to talk nonsense? I wonder how long I can do that. If you get hit for about 10 minutes, will you honor the ground?.”
“What do you not know? A person doesn't need 10 minutes to crawl on the ground..”
I thought back and said.
‘For Hector it only took once, for Charon it took about two days..’
What about this guy??
Actually I don't know the answer to this.
Probably only ‘etiquette’ and ‘norms’ know.
“dare…….”
Branches soared on the butterfly's face, and in an instant they rushed towards me..
“Who are you talking bullshit in front of?!”
…….
…….
…….
“Quack, quack, quack…….”
“…….”
“Mmm… Mmm, cancer.”
I stopped punching and saw the butterfly covered in blood..
“what?”
“Mian… It’s Hammi… … . I… I’m sorry… Mida…….”
“hmm.”
“Je, Jeba... That mom… Hit me.…….”
I nodded and let go of the butterfly, then checked the time..
6minutes 17 seconds.
It was a new record.
