Became the youngest disciple of God of War - Episode 140

140fury

[…….]

But the god of war did not immediately respond to my wish..

Not only that, it looks a bit strange..

‘Mr. Musin……?’

I called cautiously, and Mushin responded in a somewhat blunt tone..

[…The reason the speaker calls me these days seems a little disrespectful. Is it because of my mood??]

How irreverent?…….

What on earth does this mean?.

It's not that I don't know the meaning of the word, it's that I don't understand it..

As I was quietly guessing what Mushin was thinking, he sighed and said,.

[Yeonja, I am the god of martial arts..]

‘yes…….’

[Not a historian, not a wizard, much less an antique dealer..]

‘…Umm.’

[If you have any questions about radish, you are always welcome. But to keep calling me for this reason, to be honest, it's a bit unpleasant..]

…Are you upset??

There's probably a reason why it's difficult to say this in one word, but my vocabulary isn't that rich, so I couldn't think of a better expression..

I thought about it for a moment but…….

Actually, my way of dealing with angry people has been fixed since ancient times..

‘sorry.’

[…….]

‘I had no idea you were thinking like that. It's my fault.’

First of all, let’s dive head first and see..

[hmm…….]

‘Musin was so good that I think I may have crossed a line without realizing it. I apologize. From now on, I will never call you unless it is about nothing..’

[…greatness.]

Musin cleared his throat slightly and said:.

[Well, I'm not even going to sing it at all.…….]

I knew it.

This guy, as he has a stubborn personality, gets embarrassed when he lowers his head too much..

This is what I learned while comforting myself when I was upset about something in hell..

[… It's just a useless thing, so don't call it too often. I'm also in a state where I live in Yeonja, so I'm usually quiet, so if I just control the frequency, it'll be a good mood changer for me..]

‘thank you You really have a big heart like Hahae..’

[Sarcastic Genga?]

‘…Is that possible?.’

That doesn't mean I'm not tactful, so please refrain from praising me to an excessive degree..

Anyway, only then did Mushin seem to look around and opened his mouth..

[It's a treasure trove. Does this mean you want me to choose the most valuable item in this place??]

‘yes.’

[Hmm. That's a pretty difficult premise..]

I asked cautiously..

‘In what part??’

[The original value of an item is fluid. Not only supply and demand, but also how much you need, and if you miss this opportunity, when will you get another chance? … . The value changes depending on many factors. So, from a universal perspective, the value of jewels or accessories is the most constant..]

It seemed like Mushin was pointing somewhere..

[chamberlain… Something like that.]

In the direction I mentioned, there was a jewel that looked precious just by looking at it..

[Seon Hong-ok (鮮紅玉). It is a gem so precious that it is called the king of precious metals..]

Jonathan.

In other words, rubies are the most valuable gem in this country..

Now it's obvious, but it's because it has a sacred red color..

Moreover, the one called Seon Hong-ok that Mu-shin pointed to looked much brighter and clearer than the ruby ​​I knew..

‘I don't really need jewels.…….’

[I thought so. In that case, what the speaker truly wants is not an ordinary item of high value, but an item that is needed immediately..]

‘Actually, that's the problem. I don't need anything right now.’

Then Mushin burst out laughing..

[I don't need anything... … . That's arrogant. In my opinion, Yeonja still lacks a lot..]

‘For example?’

[I haven't completed the eclipse yet. The refinement method also needs reinforcement, and the harmony between the outside and the inside is not completely unified. Muscular development is also lacking..]

‘In most cases, it's a problem that will be solved with time..’

[yes.]

Mushin chuckled and continued speaking..

[However, the weapons commonly called divine soldiers have something in common. It is possible to experience in advance the state that will be reached someday..]

‘hmm… what does that mean?’

[For example, even a block of steel that cannot be cut with the current state of affairs could be cut like tofu if there was a weapon called a divine sword. If you wear armor that doesn't even get scratched by a sword, training your muscles will become a priority..]

‘ah…….’

Only then did I understand what Mushin said, and at the same time, I thought it was a fresh perspective..

Musin did not treat Mugu as just Mugu..

[So it's dangerous to be obsessed with new recruits. There are often people who mistake the realm they briefly glimpsed through trickery for their true realm. but…….]

It seemed like Mu-shin was intentionally blurting out his words, so I took the backseat..

‘Aside from that, using excellent weapons will definitely be advantageous in battle.’

[That's right.]

It's a little surprising.

Judging from his tone and atmosphere, I thought he was a very stubborn and proud warrior..

Also, in this regard, I have very practical values..

Suddenly I became curious.

What kind of life did Mushin live before he was a mushin?.

[hmm… … ? This presence-.]

At that time, Musin made a curious voice..

‘What's wrong?’

[Yeonja, go to the left..]

‘On the left?’

Even though I felt doubtful, I walked faithfully according to Musin’s words..

[Just a little further, a little further forward... … . stop now.]

Eventually, at the place where I stopped, there was an item that was somewhat incongruous with this splendid treasure trove..

A vicious tool that can cut through anything that bothers it by crossing two extremely vicious blades..

in other words…….

‘scissors?’

[hmm.]

Musin looked at the scissors with complicated eyes and opened his mouth..

[Can you touch that for a second??]

‘Of course.’

I picked up the scissors.

The blades of the scissors were heavily rusted. It seemed like an incredibly old item, and it would be difficult to even cut hair with it..

[I knew it…….]

Musin let out an exclamation-like voice..

‘What is this??’

[…These are the few sacred relics left on the continent..]

‘It's a holy relic.?’

[A medium that can connect directly with God. maybe… Modern humans would call it a holy relic..]

“ah!”

I let out an exclamation without realizing it..

Only then did I realize what Musin was talking about..

It refers to a relic of God..

A treasure among treasures, of which only 99 exist on this wide continent..

I have encountered holy relics.

[Binet's Chain]

I saw Ludwig, who I met at his home, use it. Of course it was a replica…….

Even though it was an imitation, it was amazing..

‘for a moment… … . Now that I think about it, isn’t the Sword of Seven Deadly Sins a holy relic??’

The Nameless King is one of the five kings who are revered as gods after death..

Of course, the Seven Deadly Sins Sword is not the only famous weapon that symbolizes the Nameless King, so it may be a bit ambiguous..

‘Are these scissors the original and not an imitation??’

[That's right.]

If Martial God were to assert this, it would be true... … . I couldn't help but look down at the scissors with slightly suspicious eyes..

‘…It seems too shabby for a relic..’

[It must have been neglected for a long time. It probably hasn't been that long since they were excavated..]

‘aha.’

[You can use it as is, but there is a risk that it will break if you use it two or three times. We need to find a good blacksmith and carefully remove the rust and reinforce it..]

‘He's an excellent blacksmith…….’

The first thing that came to mind was the dwarves, who were also born engineers..

If I had known this would happen, would I have become closer to the dwarf Yeongdo at the retreat? The reason is the dwarf next to Hector..

‘I'm sure his name was Basil Jules..’

Well, it's okay because it's not urgent right now..

I asked the most important thing.

‘That's why this is expensive?’

[Although it is difficult to put a simple value on it,…….]

Mushin said assertively.

[Even if you gave me everything in this treasure trove, I would still choose these scissors..]

I grinned..

It's decided.

same time.

Twisted……!

Alderson, who was nervously looking at the monitor, collapsed in his chair..

“Ha, Dean… … ?! Are you okay??”

“Ugh, oh oh oh... … ! My, my treasure… … ! My treasure! My [Amon's Scissors] gaaaagh……!”

“Ha, Dean.?!”

“The Dean is having a fit! Okay, quickly move the dean to the infirmary.!”

“Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk-!”

* * *

[Amon's Scissors].

I think that's the name of these scissors.

I heard there's nothing these scissors can't cut.

It was a very fraudulent ability, but there was something important about it..

‘…It would be difficult to see it as particularly threatening. Only because it’s this small.’

Is there anything that can be cut this wide?.

Well, what about fingers or ears? It may be difficult, but it seems possible even with the tongue..

I wonder if it would be much more threatening to sharpen the blade and stab it..

[Amon's scissors are now sealed. If you remove the rust and reinforce it, it will reveal its true form..]

‘hmm.’

If it's Mushin, then that's probably it..

I nodded to myself and went to Seren..

While I was picking out the scissors, this guy also seemed to have melted all the ice in his mouth..

I took a quick look and it looks like he handled it well..

Although the elixir was not completely dissolved, the prayer definitely changed..

“I picked them all?”

“huh.”

“What did you choose?.”

I silently showed the old scissors in my hand..

I was wondering if this guy would recognize this too..

“…Those are ugly scissors. It's a bad taste.”

You don't seem to know what it is.

I don't think I asked because I was curious in the first place..

Anyway, Seren and I finally left the treasure trove..

It took a little longer than expected, but now I'm ready to face the ordeal..

When we opened the door at the end of the treasure room, we were immediately greeted by a spacious space.…….

I felt that the dimensions of the space were familiar.

“Is it a training ground?.”

Seren must have been thinking the same thing, as she said the same thing I was thinking..

“It was Dalian’s floor, right? Looks like they're sparring here or something..”

There happened to be another large door on the other side..

[-That's correct.]

A voice was heard in the air..

It was not the inorganic voice explaining the situation in the tower, but Dean Alderson's voice..

It was somehow very suppressed, and even more than that, it felt like a tired voice..

Seren asked.

“You said we weren't fighting. So who is your opponent? different degrees?”

[That's right.]

It was a little steamy..

Another Yeongdo.

Are you really going to fight here against Iroh and the other Youngdo guys??

‘I'm not confident I'll lose.’

It's obvious that he's the kind of guy who would make it to the 4th floor of Yeongdo..

Charon, Hector, Butterfly... … . If you're lucky, it might be Evan..

But it goes without saying that Seren is also not below Charon or Hector..

This means that no matter who comes up, the match will be one-sided..

So the question is when will they get up to the 4th floor?…….

[Humans are evolving beings.]

At that time, Dean Alderson said something unexpected..

[In order to evolve, you have to go beyond the past. And I designed this place - the 'Layer of Dalian' - to watch the process with your own eyes..]

“…What are you suddenly saying?.”

[I admit it. You guys are not at the level of ordinary spirits. It is already at a level that is not lacking compared to active heroes..]

And I felt Alderson's gaze.

[Especially Luan Badniker. Your physical abilities are amazing. I thought there would be no change in the top ranking on the 3rd floor until the day the 'Tower of Asceticism' closed... … . We set an overwhelming record that put those expectations to shame. That data was of great help to me too. Thank you in advance for that..]

“…….”

After all, Alderson is a magician without fail..

When I see you suddenly lost in your own world and talking nonsense,.

Since the other person is the dean, I can't say anything rude, so I exchange a look with Seren and sigh.…….

Alderson's voice continued..

[This tower meticulously records everything about the climber. Not only physical abilities, but also the martial arts used, characteristics, personality, speech, habits, and mannerisms. Those records are stored on the doll in individual form..]

“…save?”

[My name is Alderson Marvre. Dean of the Cartel Academy, a member of the Seven Colors Across the Sky - and the Empire's only Puppet Master..]

RiSe also introduced herself in that way. Are there any rules for a wizard’s self-introduction?.

Putting those useless questions aside, the atmosphere was somehow strange..

“What is Puppet Master?”

“puppeteer.”

“What is a puppet master?.”

“doll handler.”

“…In that circus-like place?”

Seren sighed and said.

“A doll like that would be cute..”

Alderson's voice continued..

[Tower of Training 4th floor - Trial of sparring. What the climber has to deal with here is a being from the past. Honestly, I’m really looking forward to it too. It's been decades since the tower was built, but this is the first time these two dolls have been released at the same time.…….]

coo coo coo coo coo coo coo…….

The iron door on the other side opened with a loud sound..

Seren and I looked beyond the iron gate..

“……!”

We couldn't help but harden our expressions at the same time, as if we were in harmony..

That's because the faces of the Youngdo guys who showed up far exceeded expectations..

[-Leone. and Delac Badniker..]

Alderson said in a satisfied voice..

[If I want to compete against the 1st place player in the overall rankings, I have no choice but to bring out these two masterpieces..]

“…….”

Only then did I understand what Dean Alderson had said..

therefore… Dean Alderson recorded in detail, from top to bottom, Youngdo's physical ability to climb the tower..

I guess the biometric records were directly injected into the doll..

‘Such a crazy old man…….’

Compared to Assad and Rise, it's normal.?

I will correct it.

Dean Alderson was a much more insidious and dangerous man than either of them..

Seren clicked his tongue..

“In other words, if it weren't for your score, you would have been able to compete with a relatively easy doll..”

“…No shame.”

“it's okay.”

Seren's gaze turned to the dolls..

“An iron-blooded fighter must have been the strongest since he was born? When I was at the academy, I probably wasn't as strong as I am now. That person named Leone also looks similar to us or younger... … . Besides, no matter how precise the doll is, it won't be able to use divine protection, so the fight itself will be worth it..”

“hmm.”

I agree with what Seren said, but... … . I feel somehow out of place.

sreung-.

Leone's doll pulled out her sword..

Looking at that, I remembered the records I had read on the third floor..

‘2nd place overall ranking, Leone.’

Having no last name means you are a commoner.…….

I saw Leone with my own eyes… … . To be precise, Leone's doll somehow felt classy..

Actually, this is not the only thing that is puzzling..

I looked at Leone as if searching and said as if I was hitting a player..

“I'll take care of Leone. You take care of our matriarch..”

“Let me take charge of the Iron Blood Ball.?”

“I'm saying this out of fear of misunderstanding, but you're not criticizing me? Rather, it is a strategy to win..”

Seren, who paused for a moment, answered.

“It's a matter of compatibility?”

“It's similar.”

“…good. Instead, I can't last long.”

“I'll join you as soon as possible.”

The moment Seren nodded…….

The battle began without any signal..

Damn, I sprinted towards Leone and pulled out the Seven Deadly Sins Sword. Since I don't have enough information about the opponent yet, I plan to start by using a sword to explore..

Kaaaang!

“…Haha!”

The moment the blades collided, Leone's doll unexpectedly burst into laughter. It's a bit surprising because it looks so human..

Kaga River!

2-hop, 3-hop.

The more I exchanged swords, the more numb my wrists became. This swordsmanship is not a clumsy, third-rate swordsmanship..

It is elegant and systematic. In other words, it feels like history. Just like the secret swordsmanship of a prestigious family..

Did commoners have the opportunity to encounter this kind of swordsmanship? Skill level is also unusual.

Moreover, Leone used such sword skills wildly... Being able to mix one's own characteristics with swordsmanship and not have any problems means that one's level as a swordsman is very high..

In fact, it is more difficult than just practicing stereotypical swordsmanship. It feels like an appropriate variation has been added to the classic swordsmanship.?

The premonition I first felt has now become a certainty..

‘I knew it.’

At this time, Leone is stronger than the Iron Blood Ball..

That's not all.

“…You're Badniker's kid.”

I thought as I looked at the red eyes with arcs drawn..

“It's pretty strong..”

…Is this guy really a doll??
