I Became God of War's Youngest Disciple - Episode 210

210fury

I remember the moment I first laid eyes on the system..

The moment I finally climbed the high hill, I saw the spectacle unfolding down the slope..

White walls, dozens of rivers, and a city with no end in sight..

The red-brown castle that stood tall in the center.

I never thought the day would come when I would enter that place that is a castle, an old castle, and an imperial castle..

“uh? I won't go into the imperial palace.?”

“huh?”

“King Myeong’s tomb is located in the manor to the east of the castle. This is where most of the kings of the past rest in peace..”

“Ohh…….”

Anyway, the island is a surprisingly large city, so we left the academy right away..

Officially get an exit pass, go to the nearest station and take the streetcar..

Rattling, rattling…….

A ride that strangely makes people feel tired..

I occasionally lifted my hips and looked at the cityscape outside the window..

While I was blankly looking at the cityscape outside the window, Glenn slowly opened his mouth..

“I remember our first meeting.”

“huh?”

“The academy train.”

“aha.”

Come to think of it, it was like that..

At that time, I had no idea that this guy was the prince..

“But why do you admire him enough to visit the Tomb of the Nameless King? If you're a Bad Knicker, you have to like Kusset, right?.”

Still, perhaps because he is the prince, he seems to know quite a bit about our family..

I said in an indifferent voice.

“Is there a reason for longing? It was just awesome. The armor you wore was cool, your sword was cool, and your actions were cool..”

“I see.”

Glenn nodded quietly..

Anyway, as we talked about trivial things, time passed faster than I thought.…….

Since the speed of the tank was not very fast, the sun was already setting by the time we arrived at the imperial castle..

“It'll be midnight when we get back to the academy..”

“uh? I'm going back today?”

“I was going to do that.”

“If you don’t have anything urgent to do, stay here today. I'll prepare a room for you. Actually, there are several procedures that need to be completed to enter the royal tomb..”

“hmm. Is that so??”

I never thought the day would come when I would be invited to the imperial castle as a guest..

Should I have paid more attention to my clothes??

Still, there is a saying that a student's suit is a school uniform. Since I'm wearing a cadet uniform, I guess I've got the minimum range..

We were walking confidently without any obstacles, but the knight who was guarding the castle gate with a stern spirit stopped us..

“Stop. What business do you have in Hwangseong??”

“It's me, Lord Bath..”

“His Royal Highness?”

Do we meet each other??

The knight looked slightly surprised and immediately saluted..

“long time no see. He said he wouldn't be returning home until he graduated. I was surprised..”

“Ahaha… Because people's thoughts change..”

Surprisingly, it seemed like an easy relationship..

The two asked how each other was doing, talked to each other, and at some point Glenn pointed at me..

“This is my close friend... This is Luan Badniker..”

“If it's Luan Badniker... gold fairy!”

“…….”

The man called Bas looked at me and greeted me with a smile..

“I have heard of this name well. As someone who contributes to the order and stability of the system, I also pay tribute to your achievements..”

“…It was nothing.”

It was a greeting dripping with sincerity, but I, who had already lost my favorability, responded in a businesslike manner..

“What business do you have in Hwangseong??”

“I really want to see the Tomb of the Unknown King. I've been pestering Glenn a bit..”

“I see. however…….”

At a glance, the knight's eyes turned to the weapon strapped to my waist..

“Sorry, but you are not allowed in with weapons..”

“Uh, this isn't a weapon. see.”

I pulled out the Seven Deadly Sins Sword and showed it to him..

Of course, this old junk looks no different from a toy sword..

It's because all of the teeth have fallen out and are rusty to begin with..

“Umm…….”

Still, the knight seemed to be bothered by the fact that the object was in the form of a sword.…….

“Please turn a blind eye just once, Lord Bath. I beg you.”

When Glenn lowered his head and spoke to me, he looked surprised and said,.

“… All right. If you are a friend of His Highness the Prince, I have no choice but to trust you. Instead, if possible, please do not carry it around and keep it in your room..”

“Of course.”

Finally, the inspection was over and I stepped beyond the castle wall..

This is the royal castle that even wealthy nobles can step foot in at least once in their lives to bring glory to their families..

My impressions upon entering such a place for the first time were…….

“…It's really busy?”

Not only knights dressed in armor, but also middle-aged men dressed as scholars were walking around busily..

Still, no one ran as frivolously as Hwangseongni, but the way he moved at a brisk pace was like a flock of ducks swimming by the lake..

“I know. what's going on?”

“hmm.”

but. The devil almost descended from the islands, there was no way the imperial family would be quiet..

In any case, the middle name was also called..

Anyway, we passed by the busy people and moved to the outbuilding of the imperial castle..

It was a guest house with only guest rooms, but it was so big that it was useless..

“First of all, I will eat here today and come back tomorrow when the sun rises..”

“okay. Go in.”

After eating at the mansion, I was taken straight to the guest room and there were three attendants with me..

“If you have any inconvenience at any time, please let us know..”

“Then rest in peace..”

“…….”

I realized that all three of them had some combat training..

That would mean that while they were serving as servants, they were also given the role of watching over me..

Of course, it's not that they doubt me, but it's a place where it's not strange if something happens, so they should be on minimum alert..

For me, this development is rather comfortable..

Because it's much better than manipulating people behind their backs..

Anyway, since I didn't sleep well last night, I dozed off for a while, looked at the time, and left the room around dawn..

Grumbling.

Of course, I was moving secretly, so I opened the window and jumped out..

Is there no night in the castle?.

Even though it was deep in the morning, signs of presence were still felt everywhere..

Fortunately, I had enough insight into the average quality of the articles, so it wasn't too difficult to deceive them..

Separately, it wasn’t that there was no tension at all..

Anyway, it is true that I am doing something quite dangerous right now. If discovered, instead of being praised by the emperor, you might be locked up in a dungeon..

Move slowly without letting your guard down.

Still, since it's an imperial castle, it wouldn't be surprising if there was someone with unimaginable talent in an unexpected place..

Of course, the place I am invading is not the castle, but I am going around the manor, so the vigilance will not be relatively severe.…….

There's nothing wrong with being careful.

It is said that the royal tomb is located in the manor to the east of the imperial castle..

Because it was such a large place, it was easy to find, but surprisingly, the security wasn't that tight. At most, there were three or five gravediggers..

Of course, we should not let our guard down just because we have a small workforce..

Maybe there's some magical security I'm not aware of..

I quietly passed the grave marker and entered the royal tomb. As Glenn said, there were quite a few tombs of previous kings here, and it was not difficult to find the Tomb of the Unknown King..

Because that was what I heard in the first place..

‘I said it was in the form of a cave tomb..’

A cave tomb is a type in which a large stone chamber is first built and then covered with earth..

Still, since it was a royal tomb, it was naturally much larger than a typical cave tomb.…….

For some reason, it felt simple for a tomb of the most respected king in the empire..

Hwareuk…….

I observed the Tomb of the Unknown King through Hwaan Geumjeong, but since there was nothing particularly strange, I went straight to the entrance..

And after passing through the somewhat damp path, you soon reach the guest room..

A reddish-brown coffin was placed in the center of a fairly large room... There was a mural painted on the wall..

“This…….”

Is this a picture from the era when the seven races were united??

It depicts a knight wearing red armor going to the heads of seven tribes one by one to challenge them to a duel..

An epic story of a hero who, as the king of humans, defeated fairies, dwarves, giants, beastmen, and finally the Ikcheon tribe and the dragon tribe..

But it's a bit strange.

Red King Armor.

The sight of the king wearing red armor felt somehow familiar..

[You came.]

At that time, for the first time in a long time, I heard Mushin’s voice..

‘yes. This is the Tomb of the Unknown King you mentioned..’

[…is it.]

I could hear the lonely joy in Musin’s voice. I realized that this forgotten god was admiring the murals..

King Mumyeong was said to be the first speaker of the god of war..

So, the mural engraved on the wall was history to me, but it was a memory to him..

That's the moment.

Wow…….

Suddenly, a faint light flickered from the central red-brown tube..

I was startled and took a step back, and Musin spoke in a calm tone..

[There's nothing to be wary of.]

“uh…….”

The light coming out of the tube was also red..

Somehow, like a star in the night sky, I alone did not light up the surroundings, but only shined clearly..

[It is a piece of one autumn tree. Take out the Seven Deadly Sins Sword..]

“…….”

I held the sword of the seven sins with both hands as if offering it to a god..

Then, the piece of Ilchu that was wandering around stopped and slowly approached the Seven Sins Sword..

Sooooo…….

It was the moment when light seeped into the Seven Deadly Sins Sword..

My vision turned white, and a strange sensation spread throughout my body..

It felt like my senses were reaching out to the sword of the Seven Deadly Sins I was holding in my hand, but I couldn't find a way to properly express what I was feeling..

Does the Sword of Seven Deadly Sins feel like a part of my body??

Is this the commonly referred to state of Shin-geom-un-i?.

“What the hell is this…….”

[Phew…….]

The moment when I felt the sound of Mushin's sigh more clearly than usual.

From the Seven Sins Sword that had swallowed the light, whitish smoke was now flowing out..

This mysterious smoke soon began to take on the shape of a human being, a phenomenon similar to what I had witnessed when I first discovered the Altar of the Forgotten God..

At that time, Musin appeared only in form and demonstrated the Galaxy Sword.-.

“…uh.”

This time was different.

The shape is more specific..

[hmm.]

He was a man caught red-handed..

He's about thirty years old.

She had quite long hair tied up high, and the flowing attire was somehow unfamiliar yet familiar..

It feels similar to the military uniform I wore in Yeongsan..

“…Mr. Musin?”

[day tax.]

“why are you so young?”

Then Mushin tilted his head..

[As your level increases, aging progresses more slowly. The level I achieved during my lifetime was not small, so even at the moment of my death, I was still a young man on the outside..]

“aha…….”

[That's strange. Didn't you keep hearing the voice??]

“…It's not easy to determine age by voice..”

[is it.]

In fact, the way he spoke was so old that I mistakenly thought he was an old man..

‘But getting caught?…….’

Is Mushin really a member of the royal family??

no. Since he is a person from a time when there was no royal family, he could be a distant progenitor.…….

[…By obtaining a piece of Ilchu, I feel a little free from restrictions..]

Mushin said.

[Thanks to this, my appearance has become clearer. It means I can at least tell you the story..]

“A story?”

Martial God's gaze turned to the red coffin..

[First things first. The Nameless King is still alive.]

“What……?”

I was taken aback and asked.

I heard a similar story relatively recently, but I was even more surprised than I was then..

“Didn't you say that the Nameless King is a human being??”

[It did.]

“Can humans still be alive today??”

It is different from the black fairy Kusset..

Human lifespan is limited. No matter how great a level one achieves, longevity is not guaranteed for hundreds of years or more..

But Musin said something somewhat strange..

[I also found out about his survival through the speaker..]

“what is that…….”

[As the speaker said, no human being could be alive until now. But doesn’t even the speaker now know how to transcend such cause and effect??]

“…….”

At this moment, what went through my mind was the conversation I had with Sanghyeolgong at home..

- Most of the gods that exist on this continent are mortal and become gods only after death..

I thought for a moment and answered.

“…Did the Nameless King become a god??”

Of course, there are those who worship the five kings as gods.…….

Simply revering the dead as a being of faith and actually turning the dead into gods are two different stories..

[That wasn't wrong either..]

“yes?”

[Look closely at the mural. Yeonja has already seen that armor before..]

Armor?

I saw the mural again.

I heard that there are two most representative relics of the Unknown King, but both have been lost..

one is the sword of seven sins.

This is the toy sword that I am holding in my hand right now, and the other one is the Red King's Gap..

I couldn't find this even in the Musin Ruins.…….

‘Red King Armor…….’

In fact, from the moment I first saw the mural, I felt a strange sense of déjà vu..

But where on earth did I see that armor??

‘-ah.’

What suddenly crossed my mind at that moment was the scene the Demon King of the Blood Moon showed me..

In the other world, the fourth floor of the mansion where Hadeneihar was coiled..

In that pitch black space where there is nothing…….

Tangtata and the nine pulled me, who was in the form of a doll, to each other and played tug of war..

And just before the doll was torn apart, a being suddenly entered and tore the two demon kings apart with a single blow..

A being who appeared wearing tattered long guns over black armor..

The demon king wearing three sacred weapons that I am very familiar with..

“…her.”

I saw the mural again.

Red King Armor.

If you taint the color of that armor black, carve a lot of scratches on it, and then have them wear ink-colored clothing on top of it.…….

[The evil god is also a god.]

“…….”

[My Yeonja, the last disciple of Baek Lu-gwang, the True Martial God..]

Musin asked in a bitter tone..

[Listen intently. From now on, I will tell you about the truth of this world..]
