Became the youngest disciple of God of War - Episode 139
139fury
“…….”
Seren's head tilted about 15 degrees when she saw me..
Seren, who was looking at me with an expressionless face, spoke in a surprisingly calm voice..
“Than you think… It came faster.”
If it somehow feels like a word with many implications, is it my overinterpretation?.
‘It sounded like 'You somehow got there faster than me', and it also sounded like he expected me to get to the 3rd floor..
I asked outright.
“what do you mean?”
“It doesn't mean anything. I don't know about the 1st floor, but I expected it to be a bit clogged on the 2nd floor..”
“…….”
It stung slightly..
Certainly, if it weren't for Musin, I would still be wandering around on the second floor..
I forced myself to change the uncomfortable topic..
“3I'm going to see the ordeal of the floor too.?”
“okay.”
“How many floors do you want to go up to?.”
“well…….”
Seren thought for a moment and responded calmly..
“…I think it's at least the 4th floor..”
okay.
First of all, interests are aligned..
“4To get to the floor, you need to get a total of 150 points in the three rooms behind me. Each room gets a perfect score of 100..”
“okay?”
Seren nodded and passed me, looking intently at the three rooms, and after a while, headed toward the [Room of Quickness]..
‘Did you think the same thing as me??’
I still don't know what this guy's intentions are, but I thought he might be like that..
Seren asked as she saw me following her..
“Why are you following me?.”
“Just to take a look.”
“…….”
“no?”
“…Do whatever you want.”
I laughed out loud.
No need to tell me, I always live as I want..
I followed Seren and entered the [Room of Quickness]..
Since you know where and what kind of throws will be thrown, you can watch Seren's actions while standing exactly outside the range..
‘Come to think of it…….’
This guy doesn't ask me about my ordeal..
Although it would be helpful to hear the information in advance..
Are you overconfident in your own abilities??
or not… Do you already know what kind of test it is?.
1I watch Seren with similar thoughts as before..
[1Start the steps.]
Toad-doo-dung-.
Seren easily dodged the flying ball and passed the second stage of arrow rain with ease..
What I wanted to focus on was step 3.…….
Clap-!
The moment she saw the vicious disk with a blade, Seren's eyes changed slightly..
‘Are you thinking about responding??’
You won't have time to think about it.
“Seup-.”
At that moment, Seren took a deep breath..
Fuwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Immediately after, long white hair fluttered around, and cold air spread out like an air wave centered around Seren..
Damn it... … ! The moment the flying disk touched the cold, it froze in midair..
‘ah.’
It's not a blessing.
The true energy of extreme yin within the body was released through the skin..
In terms of structure, it feels similar to the Breath of the Sapphire Snake from the Jewel Mountain Range..
‘You gave properties to mana..’
I was a little surprised.
The art that Seren showed was beyond simply wrapping mana in the body or weapons..
Not only did it have unique properties, but it also released mana through the skin rather than the hands..
Looking at it like this, I'm not sure how strong Seren is right now..
First of all, it seems like this guy has become much stronger than I remembered... … . So, Seren before her return..
Perhaps the [Altar of the Forgotten God] found in the forest inspired this guy.?
‘But that works.’
If you think about it, isn't that also an act of defense??
Well, I didn't touch it, so I passed. For this reason, it's somewhat unfair as a warrior who fights with his bare body..
Anyway, if you have that skill, level 4 won't be a big problem for Seren..
Kwagagagagagagag!
As expected, Seren froze all the heavy rain of weapons pouring from the sky..
[congratulations! You have cleared all trials prepared in the Room of Quickness.!]
[…Calculating score…….]
[Please wait a moment.]
…….
…….
[Score calculation has been completed.]
[NEW!] [1st place. Seren Good Spring. 97 points.]
“…….”
And it was a new record.
Not only did I become an Iron Blood Ball, but my ranking suddenly dropped to 3rd place..
“Haaaa…….”
Seren let out a cold breath..
He then glanced at the leaderboard and seemed to hesitate slightly..
“…….”
Whose name did I stop at?.
While I was guessing by looking at the pupils, Seren passed me and headed to the next room..
Of course I followed suit..
[room of speed]
The measurement method here is simple..
All you have to do is run a short distance in a long, straight space..
The distance is short, about 50 meters.…….
1You just have to run the steps.
2Obstacles arise at each stage..
3At this stage, a strong wind blows from somewhere..
And the long-awaited fourth step.
Rumble……!
“…….”
Suddenly, the inside of the room collapsed, and the path to run became extremely narrow..
It's not a road, but it looks like a path..
The ground on the left and right had completely collapsed, forming a cliff, and darkness spread so deep that the bottom could not be seen..
Of course, you won't die if you fall from there. This too must have been directed by Dean Alderson..
However, this scenery surprisingly has a big impact on our psychological state..
Whether it's a hallucination or something, it's visual information that fools you even when you know it's a trick..
Seren also looked a little nervous, but didn't seem to have any intention of giving up on the challenge, and ran down the skinny road at the signal..
But the speed was obviously very slow..
[Room of Speed: 71 points.]
Oh yea. won.
It's not just a win, it's a complete win..
As I giggled, Seren's gaze turned towards me..
Then he glanced at the rankings and muttered in a slightly surprised voice..
“97dot……?”
“Kill me?”
“…….”
Seren didn't take my joke and closed her mouth..
And finally the last [Room of Power]].
This room does not pose a particularly large threat like the [Speed Room] or [Agility Room]..
Is it the simplest test??
1The first step is to destroy the wooden scarecrow..
2The steps are large rocks.
3stage armor.
The final 4th stage is to break the large, pitch-black shield..
I crossed my arms and recalled my challenge.
‘The last shield was pretty strong..’
Of course, that's generally the case, and it wasn't a problem for me..
In the first place, the Cheonhwa First Strike and the Baek Il Sik are martial arts that focus on destructive power..
‘What about this guy?.’
Personally, I thought that what Seren lacked most was destructive power..
It was as expected.
The scarecrow and the rock were destroyed by hand, but the armor was only slightly dented..
Seren wasn't even qualified to challenge level 4..
[Room of Power: 52 points.]
“Ugh.”
Maybe the score was a bit shocking, but the expression on his face wasn't good..
Seren sighed, looked at the rankings again, and looked at me with an even more surprised face than before..
I guess you saw my score..
“what… … ? How did you do it?”
I answered in a proud tone..
“I'm naturally strong.”
Seren, unusually, didn't laugh at my nonsense and just stared at my face..
Then he says something somewhat unexpected..
“you…….”
“huh?”
“It's really strong.”
I don't think it means that he is strong..
I hear this often these days, but I was a little surprised because I didn't expect to hear it from Seren..
Seren looked at me with a somewhat complicated gaze... … . Anyway, this guy's total score is 220 points..
Although it is not high enough to be ranked, it is fully qualified to challenge for the 4th floor..
coo goo goo…….
Then the wall of the waiting room moved, and a hidden staircase was revealed beyond it..
“oh…….”
You were in a place like that.
We headed straight to the stairs.
Fortunately, this time I could see the destination clearly, not the circular stairs..
Even taking that into account, it was quite long..
As I was climbing the stairs, Seren asked.
“Hey.”
“say.”
“you are on the righteous side?”
“what?”
This was my first time asking such an absurd question, so I stopped in my tracks..
I looked at him wondering if he was joking, but Seren was looking at me with a surprisingly serious expression..
I had no choice but to answer.
“hmm. Moderately……?”
“is it…….”
Seren hesitated for a moment and then spoke again..
“Well, can you help me at the academy??”
“Which one?”
“It's difficult to say in detail. still… It's for the peace and well-being of innocent people..”
“…….”
Since I didn't respond, Seren quickly added,.
“It's absolutely nothing suspicious. I don't mind risking my life. I swear.”
“…….”
What is this atmosphere all of a sudden?.
The suddenly serious atmosphere gave me a bit of goosebumps. It was because I, as a human being, basically do not prefer this kind of heavy atmosphere..
“It's very dangerous?”
“I could die.”
It comes out strong?
I nodded and said.
“It's not difficult to help.”
I owe this guy a debt of his own..
“But I can't help you if I speak in general terms like I do now. If you really want help, be clear about the situation and explain it clearly. That's the basics.”
“…….”
Seren closed her mouth at my correct opinion and suddenly glanced around..
Are you checking to see if anyone is eavesdropping??
I also tried to show off my spirit, but I don't feel like I'm particularly popular..
The same goes for communication modifications..
“The Academy might be in danger. I'm not sure though.”
“It's dangerous. for what?”
“That's still hard to say.”
“why.”
“If I tell you this, you'll treat me like I'm crazy..”
“…….”
The moment I heard that.
I remembered the conversation I had with this guy at the retreat before returning..
- I'll tell you later.
- why.
- Because I don’t want to be treated like a crazy bitch..
And what happened after that?.
Priest Juan revealed his magic, Evan became a minor priest, and eventually the devil came down. As a result, more than half of the spirits who participated died..
Then I understood Seren’s position..
If this guy had told me the truth back then, how would I have reacted?.
It's a nonsense story that says a priest has infiltrated the Badniker family and ended up summoning the demon lord..
‘I probably treated you like a crazy bitch.’
I sighed and said.
“okay. I'll help you.”
“……! really?”
Seren spoke in a slightly raised tone. I think this is my first time seeing you this excited..
On the other hand, I felt a little nervous..
‘…This guy didn't ask for help until the end in Badknicker..’
That guy is now looking for my help..
The reason isn't just because I'm strong..
So the answer is simple.
-Sooner or later, a disaster worse than Badknicker will occur at the Academy..
‘…Something related to the devil will break out here too..’
pestilence.
The empire is such a mess..
* * *
Alderson was staring intently at the screen..
The atmosphere in the control room, which was somewhat noisy, has now become quiet, and it feels like the calm before the storm..
It has to be that way..
4From the first floor, climbers are given practical rewards..
The reward is a collection of treasures collected by Dean Alderson with his blood, sweat, and youth..
Alderson was holding a teacup, pretending to be relaxed, but his hands were shaking slightly..
‘…I don't know?’
4[Treasure warehouse where you can enter and exit from the first floor]].
In fact, the horse is a treasure trove, and very few Yeongdo have reached that floor, so it has been a while since it was used as a substitute for a safe..
It means that every time you get your hands on something valuable, you stuff it inside..
Everything in the treasure trove is literally treasure, collected with great care by Alderson.…….
Of course, the value of the treasure is not the same..
There is a particularly valuable item in the treasure trove right now..
I put it in a while ago and haven't taken it out yet..
‘No way, no way, no way. I won't choose that.’
okay. There is no way to choose.
Because it looks shabby and useless on the outside. You wouldn't choose that unless you were out of your mind..
but…….
‘…….’
Alderson's nervous gaze turned back to the screen..
The moment I saw the two spirits who had just entered the 4th floor, I swallowed my dry saliva without realizing it..
‘Badknicker…….’
The moment I thought about that last name again, goosebumps appeared on my forearms..
* * *
There are more than a few things I want to ask Seren..
Actually, this guy was a bit harsh when he decided to go to the academy... … . It felt like that premonition became clear only at this moment.?
What happens in the academy, one of the safest places in the alternative system?.
I was so curious that I was excited, but decided to ask for more details after climbing the tower..
[Welcome to Dalian's floor!]
[※fourth rule※]
[A minimum of 2 people are required to undergo this floor trial..]
[…Checking…….]
[Two challengers. Has confirmed.]
[Choose your reward before sparring.]
“compensation?”
When I tilted my head, the voice continued..
[4All challengers who reach this level are eligible to enter the ‘Treasure Warehouse’..]
[You can choose one reward before sparring.]
“We haven't even fought, but they've already given us a reward... It's bigger than I thought.”
Seren responded cynically to my self-talk..
“What a big dog. You didn't give anything from the 1st to the 3rd floor. There is no such thing as a zombie.”
“…They're all probably listening to our voices?”
Seren snorted openly. 'Listen.' It looks like he's doing it.
Actually, I kept my mouth shut because I agreed with the statement that the dean was a bitch..
Anyway, we entered the place called [Treasure Warehouse]..
Paat-!
“oh…….”
My eyes widened at the bright light..
Gold coins, jewels, and expensive accessories were not piled up like a mountain like the image usually associated with the word treasure trove.…….
There were a lot of weapons and armor on display that looked expensive at first glance..
In addition, old books, elixirs, and magic tools that looked like antiques were also seen..
“Hey… There are so many amazing things. What's this? It looks like a kettle.”
There was no explanation.
Are you telling me to choose for myself??
While I was watching, Seren glanced around and said.
“I'll take this.”
I looked for something and it turned out to be a wooden armor..
“what is that?”
sweet-.
Instead of answering, Seren opened the wooden armor..
What was placed inside was an ice ball that gave off a cold aura, and from what I could see, it looked like an elixir..
“It's a decision for 10,000 years. This is my first time seeing something this big..”
Is this an ice version of Youngok??
As if my prediction was correct, Seren immediately took out the crystal and put it in her mouth..
And I rolled the decision with my mouth like melting candy..
“Is it delicious??”
“It's cold.”
…It's cold.
Anyway, Seren glared at me as if telling me not to talk to her for a while, so I also looked around and looked around..
‘The weapon passes. Passed the armor too. accessories? A little bit of this too.’
So should I take some expensive jewelry??
well.
It's nice to have a lot of money, but I'm not in a hurry right now..
No matter what anyone says, I am a boo with an asset of 5,000 gold..
‘This is so embarrassing.’
Since I don't really need anything, it's hard to choose what to do even if I lay out the board..
…but it's okay.
Because I have a secret weapon!
I took a deep breath in my heart and shouted.
‘God of War……!’
[…Something?]
Despite my slightly exaggerated call, Musin responded in his characteristic calm voice..
I asked with a grin..
‘What is the most valuable thing in this treasure trove??’
If you don't know what's what, it's best to take the most expensive one first..
