I Became God of War's Youngest Disciple - Episode 227

227fury

I have seen many evil people in my life, but I have rarely encountered such pure malice..

Even though I indirectly peeked into the thoughts of the speaker who wrote the book, rather than actually meeting him… For the first time in a long time, I felt a growing sense of nausea and even a hint of fear..

This was because the creators of this Celestial Demon Religion were different from other evil people..

Most evildoers are aware that it is wrong when they commit a crime..

At the very least, there is an awareness that something has been done that should not be done conceptually..

In other words, it means having a minimum sense of guilt.…….

The sense of guilt I am talking about here is completely different from guilt..

It literally refers to the ability to recognize that one has made a mistake..

So what do I think of as a villain?…….

This refers to people who do not feel shame or show any signs of remorse even after committing a wrong act..

However, the author of this book, or the authors, did not even feel such a sense of guilt..

They actually think they are doing the right thing, even though they are practically kidnapping innocent children and gouging out their eyes..

So scary, and even more disgusting.

Even in the world I live in, the only people of this type are the Dark Church..

Coincidentally, both groups were religious organizations..

At this moment, I felt like I had learned the fundamental reason why the Empire's greatest enemy was the Dark Church..

“──.”

Take a slow breath.

I don't like reading books in the first place, but this book was especially difficult to read..

Still, I thought there must be a reason why my second sister-in-law gave this to me, so I read it to the end..

Cult of Heavenly Demon - The behavior of those who call themselves Demon Cult has become more and more severe..

The following year, they secretly gave poison to the ninety-nine surviving children, depriving them of their sense of touch, and then subjected them to another harsh ordeal..

As a result, forty survived..

The next year, the children lost their sense of smell, and only fifteen survived.…….

Of the children who lost their sense of taste the following year, only five survived..

And again the following year.

five children, no.

When they, now boys and girls, lost their hearing.…….

There was only one person who survived.

[Finally, the Heavenly Demon was born.]

[As of today, this church has finally been able to fully promote the name Cheonma Shingyo to the Kangho martial arts world..]

[The major—no. The great religious leader will now bring down that stinking sky and completely erode the chaos of this age..]

This was the last content of Cheonaktanseo..

As the title of the book suggests, it was about the birth of evil that would encroach on heaven. Nothing was written about his later life..

So is this a true record??

I do not know.

That's because the Sister Cheon I knew lost nothing except her sight, but according to the book, this character named Major Cheon lost all five senses..

This means that there is some contradiction with the written records..

“ha…….”

First, I let out the heat that had been condensed in my head and chest with a sigh..

And with a slightly cold head, I read the book again..

As I read it in a relatively calm state, I saw things that were different from when I first read it, and my emotional ups and downs were noticeably reduced..

However, I still had no idea why Sister Cheon gave me this book..

“…….”

Then I suddenly realized that the sound of rain hitting the carriage roof had become much fainter..

I walked up the tent and checked outside..

The raindrops are clearly seen to have weakened..

“ah.”

The heavy rain had finally ended.

* * *

“Im here!”

“Oh oh……!”

Gon's cry announcing the end of the journey.

It was Mir who cheered the most passionately..

Since yesterday, I've been shaking my whole body because I feel itchy..

In fact, he tolerated me longer than I expected..

If it had been any other giant, he would have broken down the carriage door and stormed out in a day or two, what's a week?.

“This is the city where Heros headquarters was built.…….”

Evan also muttered in a slightly excited voice. She must be feeling special now that she has set foot in a place she has always dreamed of since she was a child..

Of course, I was also impressed by the appearance of this big city.…….

Before that, there was a fact that caught my attention..

“There are no walls in the city.?”

“that's right.”

Gon answered my question with a familiar feeling. As if I've seen a lot of similar reactions.

“Why isn't it there??”

“If you think about the fundamental reason for building a castle wall, you can easily find the answer. This is because Tefer has no particular fear of invasions or attacks by foreign enemies..”

“what is that.”

“The floating population of Tefer is tens of thousands of people per day. In terms of population density, it is more than just a downtown area. When there is a particularly large crowd of people, they hand over the boat, but if you check them one by one, there is no end to it..”

I don't think it's wrong.

After entering the city, although the road for carriages was fairly well paved, the speed of movement was slow..

This was because there was a line of carriages right in front so large that it reminded one of the top..

“So they just tore down the walls and removed the checkpoints.?”

“Not necessarily for that reason, but yes.”

“that… Isn’t this too risky a decision? Let alone urban order, it seems like public order will collapse.…….”

Evan asked in a confused voice..

There was a hidden comment about what to do if an unidentified criminal sneaks in..

Gon smiled at those words..

“Everyone had similar concerns at first. However, Tefer's crime rate is the lowest among many cities in the Empire..”

“ah. Is it because it is the city where Heros was founded??”

“That's right. Just because of the name, these idiots don't even dare to think about committing a crime. And secondarily…….”

“Cow, pickpocket!”

A voice burst out from somewhere on the street..

A middle-aged woman was sitting down, and a shabby-looking man was running down the street holding a basket that appeared to have been stolen..

The moment Evan and Mir were about to step forward, I stopped them with a wave of my hand..

The next moment, Inyoung’s fist, which came out from the next alley, landed in the pickpocket’s side..

“Bent……?!”

The man let out a sigh and rolled on the floor..

The basket soared into the sky due to the recoil, the contents scattering in all directions.…….

A woman who appeared in an alley made a cool catch..

First, he snatched the basket and then put everything into the basket with his amazing body vision and flexible wrist movements..

“Wow-!”

“Heroes' vigilante group!”

A movement so graceful that it leaves you amazed..

Citizens cheered and applause poured in..

The woman put down the basket next to her with an expressionless face, and then kicked the head of the man who was crawling away..

The man lost his mind like a doll whose strings were cut..

“That is…….”

“He's a hero. Tefer's vigilante group. But maybe that person…….”

Gon, who saw the woman's face, glanced at me slightly..

As expected, he seemed to know a lot, perhaps because he was a coachman..

Evan and Mir didn't seem to realize it yet, but that's not strange..

That's because it doesn't look exactly like me..

Then I made eye contact with the woman.…….

“……!”

I felt a look of shock in his purple eyes..

“you……?”

“oh. great job.”

At that time, a man who appeared to be the woman's colleague came out of the alley..

He was a muscular young man with a large ax strapped to his back..

“what's the matter?”

“…nothing.”

“okay. Then let's go. Because I'll be busy starting tomorrow.”

“Don't nag me.”

“Ah-oh…….”

The young man shook his head with an annoyed expression, and the two soon disappeared amidst thunderous applause from the citizens. With a pickpocket tied up..

“Well, I completely understand why there is no need for a castle wall..”

I nodded my head in agreement, and Gon said nothing more..

After that, we continued exploring the streets of Tefer, and after about an hour, we finally arrived at our destination, an inn..

Gon bowed his head politely and said..

“Thank you for your effort I'll just go now. Youngdo people, thank you for your hard work..”

“you're welcome. Mr. Gon, you really worked hard..”

“Thank you for your hard work!”

Gon looked at us with a warm smile..

His eyes looked like he was looking at an immature child, but he seemed to be at an age where it wouldn't be strange to have a child just like us..

“It was an honor to host a future hero. It was a valuable time for me as well. Although it was said that there was heavy rain, we would like to apologize again for the delay in schedule. Then I hope you achieve what you want..”

He spoke kind words to the end and left with the carriage that Gon had rented..

This is probably why I rented a carriage instead of buying one. Renting isn't cheap, but it's much cheaper than buying..

“Okay then…….”

I saw an inn..

It was a fairly expensive inn because it was located in the center of the city, and since it was recommended by Gon himself, the facilities must be excellent..

As is typical for inns like this, there was a bar on the first floor, which was also the intention..

This is because when you come to an unfamiliar city, it is customary to gather information at bars like these..

“Let's go in first..”

As the water owner, I entered first..

First, I found a room and then sat down in a suitable place..

And when I looked around, I thought for a moment that I had walked into a southern bar..

“Hahahaha! So what happened?”

“I told him not to talk nonsense and then I brushed out all his teeth. That bastard will just have to eat porridge until he passes out..”

“Whiyu─!”

A sharp whistling sound pierces my ears..

It reminded me of mercenaries sitting in a southern bar..

‘no. I think he's actually a mercenary.?’

Did you come to enter Heros??

Even considering it is lunch time, it is strange that there are so many people..

After ordering something to eat, I spoke to the clerk who poured me water..

“Let's ask something.”

“Tell me!”

A girl clerk with a cheerful appearance approached me with a bright smile on her face..

Even though the face value of the three of us seems low, there is no sign of disdain..

I flicked a silver coin to perpetuate this act of kindness..

“omg……!”

The clerk with bright eyes snatched the silver coin..

It's probably more than this clerk's daily wages. The clerk's eyes suddenly changed, and he spoke in an unnervingly friendly voice..

“ask anything!”

“There are always so many people here?”

“ah. That's not it! Because Heros' 'The Origin' begins next week, there are more crowds than usual.!”

The Origin.

I've heard of it.

The name is grandiose, but it refers to the test to enter Heros..

“Did you say it is held once a quarter?.”

“That's right!”

“Tomorrow... I wonder if it would be too late to apply now..”

“We're accepting applications until this weekend, so there's plenty! The reception desk is close to our inn, so you can eat and leave today..”

“aha.”

I nodded and said I would ask if anything else came to mind. The clerk smiled slightly and walked away..

“It was exam time. I think it came together just right..”

Evan muttered and looked at me..

“ah. Now that I think about it, Luan, I don’t think you really need to take any tests. You already qualify.”

“yes?”

This Ruan Badniker, who took third place at Badniker's retreat, already owns Heros' hero plaque..

Even though it is D grade..

“Still, I would like to participate in this exam if possible..”

“why?”

“I heard that depending on your test scores, you can get up to a B grade. Very rare, but not unheard of.”

Of course, one of the precedents is Sanghyeolgong..

An unprecedented being who went beyond B-level and achieved A-level position upon entering the building..

After completing several missions, when there was discussion about promotion to S-class hero, there was not a single person who objected..

“…….”

“…….”

But the moment I said these words, I felt like the surroundings had somehow become quiet..

I could feel the eyes of the mercenaries who were good at drinking alcohol turning in this direction..

I secretly laughed at that familiar attitude. Somehow it reminds me of the old days.

“Umm. Heros…….”

Mir groaned in an embarrassed voice..

“Do I deserve to be a hero?…….”

“that's enough.”

“really?”

I don't say empty words like this again..

“Isn't it safe to say that both of them are already D-class heroes? If you're lucky in this exam, you should aim for level C..”

“I hope so…….”

Mir was suspicious, and Evan was also troubled. He seemed to be remembering the level of his skills now..

At that time, Mir asked an unexpected question..

“Then you?”

“huh?”

“Luan, what level are you at now??”

Evan seemed interested in these words and looked at me..

“hmm…….”

I thought about my level for a moment and answered..

“Probably level B?”

I don't even have the upper hand in S class yet.…….

The Seven Sins Sword, the Onmyodo Sword, the Flame Flame, and the newly introduced Silver Ring, etc. If you use a few of the available means, you can easily win even against Class A..

I am a humble man, so I said so for now..

“Phew!”

At that moment, laughter erupted from the right side..

I looked to see something, and saw a large man who looked like a mercenary looking at me with a grin on his face..

“Are you sane? Kid.”

In fact, he looked like he was anxious to start a fight here from earlier..

Not just this guy, but most of the guys that filled the seats around him..

“Uh oh……?”

While the clerk girl was looking around with a perplexed expression, I nodded alone..

‘I knew it.’

It's about time something like this happens.
