I Became God of War's Youngest Disciple - Episode 237
237fury
Fortunately, we were able to escape before the cave completely collapsed.…….
The moment I looked back, it became unclear whether I could truly express this situation as ‘fortunate’..
This is because the cave that was the test site has completely collapsed..
“It's not my fault?”
“That's what I said…….”
The chain scythe standing next to me took a stab..
I protested with an aggrieved face..
“If it had stayed that way, we would all have died, right? A mercenary can't thank his lifesaver..”
“That's it though.”
It was then.
The examiner who was waiting in the carriage came running quickly, appeared, and asked us:.
“-What the hell is going on??”
His characteristic blunt voice was trembling slightly, and looking at his appearance, I realized that this inorganic man also had emotions..
“The demon released from the jar went on a rampage, and the cave collapsed during the battle..”
I said that with an indifferent face..
The guys I escaped with gave me absurd looks, but I ignored them..
There's a lot I left out, but it doesn't mean what I said was a lie..
The examiner looked at me and asked.
“the devil?”
“Subdued.”
“hmm.”
Does asking whether or not it was subjugated mean that Heros' examiner was not observing the inside of the cave??
Or maybe it was to look this way, or maybe the observation device installed inside was broken in the fight just now..
‘First of all, I didn't see anything like a communication modification..’
Perhaps because the cave is large, the area where you can take a peek is limited..
That means someone may have seen the scene where Verita smashed the knight's head.…….
‘…Looking at the reaction.’
I don't think I saw that scene in particular..
“ah.”
Come to think of it, Verita and the others?
I saw the cave entrance.
The entrance was completely blocked by dirt and rocks, and it literally looked like vomit had flowed back..
Could it be that Verita was caught in the cave collapse and died??
“Luan Badniker.”
“yes?”
The examiner called my name..
“How did you defeat the devil??”
“I burned my whole body with my maximum fire power. If you cut it, it splits, and if it touches it, it sticks, so there was no other way..”
“burned it?”
“Because I have this kind of mana.”
Hwareuk.
He made a candle on his fingertip for a moment and then blew it out..
“…Flames are definitely the most effective against that demon..”
“……?”
“I knocked it down with one blow.…….”
What on earth are you trying to say??
The examiner, who was taking an uncharacteristic pause, looked at me and said,.
“As far as I know, you don't have a clan yet..”
“Clan?”
“no. I'm talking about individual units within Heros, but you don't know that either.?”
“hmm.”
After listening, I think I understand.
So, I thought that the Black Rose that Iron Blood Lord told me about was a type of clan..
“no.”
Of course, contrary to the Iron Blood Ball's wishes, it may not enter the Black Rose..
“is it. Then, when I have time, I hope to stop by ‘Beowulf’..”
“beowulf.”
“This is the clan I belong to..”
“What is the examiner’s name??”
“Chiron.”
“I'll remember it.”
Chiron nodded and said.
“Take the carriage and return to headquarters. The examiner there will guide you through the third test..”
“yep.”
I nodded and got into the carriage..
The chain scythe that followed said:.
“…I can't believe I've already received a recruitment offer. That's amazing.”
“recruitment?”
“Moreover, Beowulf is an A-level clan. I heard that he is generous with suggestions even to most B-level heroes..”
That damn A grade.
Why does this damn organization like class division so much?.
Anyway, I looked out the window, listening to Chainscythe's words, which made me even more excited..
dusky sky.
It was announcing the end of a long night and the coming of dawn..
* * *
It was a clear morning when I returned to Heros headquarters..
It's bright everywhere, the surroundings are noisy, and the sunlight hitting the top of my head is hot..
“Haaum.”
I suppressed the urge to yawn..
It wasn't that hard to just stay up all night for a day or two, but I couldn't avoid my condition getting worse..
I think this is a matter of mood.
‘Is it because of my crazy days??’
As I looked at the rising sun after drinking in the dark of night, emotions welled up that were difficult to explain in one or two words..
Regret, bitterness, regret, self-destruction, etc.…….
Maybe it's because of the memory of that time, but I stay up all night with a sober mind and feel a very strange feeling when I face the rising sun..
For some reason, I had the illusion that my mental level was increasing significantly. It felt like I had become a wise man, even if only for a moment.?
In summary, it will be wise man time..
“There you guys. Test takers before promotion?”
Then a long-haired hero called us..
It was a woman with scars on her face, but her muscles were more impressive than those of most men..
Looking at their tanned skin and appearance, I think they are from an eastern barbarian tribe..
Chainscythe nodded and the barbarian woman spoke..
“There are four people in total.?”
“That's right.”
“Hmm. Then, you're almost there. Follow me.”
We're all here?
I could understand what this hero said after a while..
The place I followed was a fairly large room, somewhat similar in structure to the classrooms I often saw at the academy..
And other people were already there..
“You came.”
There was also Verita.
“Ah-oh.”
I sighed sincerely..
I was embarrassed because it was my first time seeing someone whose stress bloomed just by looking at their face..
Next to Verita, who was waving her hand with a bright smile, there were people she had seen during the first exam.…….
They were a scholar and a merchant respectively..
“ruler. Everyone has arrived, please take a seat..”
The hero who guided us put his hand on his waist and pointed to the seat..
I sat down roughly as he said, but Verita, who had been far away, got up and sat down next to me..
I asked this guy before he said anything useless..
“the remaining six?”
“Everyone is safe, but they haven't come to their senses yet. As a result…….”
“3I lost my eligibility to take the car test..”
The hero standing at the church cut off Verita’s words. Verita smiled slightly and nodded her head..
“ruler. I just received the results of the second exam. It is said that this is the first time in Heros' history that the 'Cave Test' has been cleared in such a drastic manner. I heard that the test takers this time were unusual, but I guess there's definitely something different about them..”
The hero grinned and looked at us and said:.
“The genius alchemist of Ulqa, the ghost spear of the Roland family, the blood mace of the 72 schools, and the next great wizard. and…….”
Why did their eyes turn to me?.
“Youngblood who saved the system - even Mr. Gold Fairy.”
“…….”
Why does my tinnitus sound like that?.
I'm so upset, really..
“The editorial was long. There is one thing I want to ask you. People who will not participate in the 3rd test. Is there?”
“ah. I'll stop here.”
At those words, the merchant slightly raised his hand..
“Actually, I think it's a miracle that I even got to C level. haha…….”
“okay. Was your name Hamas??”
“That's right.”
“good. That's it for Hamas, the rest?”
“…….”
“There's no more, right? I knew it. Looking at his face, it didn't seem like he would be satisfied with C grade. good. There is something about the third exam. I will tell you in the evening. Heros will prepare a room for you, so go and get some rest. dissolution.”
He said he was disbanding and he was leaving first..
Only then did the remaining characters stand up one by one and leave... Meanwhile, Wizard Koraris glared at me again..
‘Then you die.’
I shook my head and said that to myself..
How do I make that young wizard understand that there is a bombshell next to me now?.
Anyway, I sat still without leaving my seat. Same goes for Verita..
After a while, we were alone in the fairly large room, and it was only then that I opened my mouth..
“What happened? The cave collapsed..”
Verita smiled lowly and responded..
“The cave was intricately intertwined like an anthill. Even if one passageway collapsed, there was no risk of being trapped. rather than that…….”
Berita looked at me again with bright eyes..
“I saw!”
“what?”
“A huge wave of mana! A black flame that overwhelms even the musical instruments! And a palm of flame that pierced the entire cave! iced coffee… … ! It was an intense wave of mana that could only be felt in great magic! The shivers still haven't gone away for me.!”
How good are your eyes that you can see that?.
I tried hard to hide my nervous feelings..
“And thanks to the cave collapse, things turned out a little better in the end..”
“Does it work out well? … ah.”
Is it body disposal?.
The moment the dead knight's face flashed through my mind, I sighed slightly..
Of course, that knight was a former church member, had an extreme side, and wasn't a particularly likable guy as a person.…….
But if you were to ask whether he was evil enough to die, it would be difficult to answer..
On the other hand, if you ask whether the death was completely innocent, it is not true..
Anyway, the knight was killed while trying to kill Verita..
The process was unusual, but the results were just that..
If the knight who found Verita hadn't lost his senses, he wouldn't have pushed me when he stopped me.…….
If I hadn't been hurt by that, the knight wouldn't have died..
Of course, no one could have predicted this butterfly effect. What should I say, this happened in a realm that humans cannot calculate..
It was some kind of disaster.
‘…….’
I looked at Verita and thought.
3I don't know what the car test looks like…….
It is too dangerous to leave this bombshell like this..
Something needed to be done.
* * *
3They said they informed me about the car test around evening..
In other words, we are given time to rest for about half a day..
Heros probably thought that taking the first and second exams back to back was a forced march..
Even the room we provided was spacious and comfortable, perfect not only for resting but also for sleeping..
Suddenly-.
opened the window.
It was a nice day with an unusually clear sky, but I decided not to do anything and take a nap..
After coming to Tefer, he realized the importance of rest, and decided that sleep would be more helpful than flying at this point..
“hmm.”
When I got out of bed again, the sky was just the color of sunset..
It's like sleeping when the sun rises and waking up when the sun sets..
“…It's the life of a fool.”
Seeing myself feeling pathetic even though I didn't really play or eat, I thought that humans are animals that wake up during the day and sleep at night..
anyway.
Gurgling…….
My stomach is churning..
Suddenly I wanted to eat something.
I've been hungry since I started grilling the octopus devil, so since I have a big appetite, I've been starving for quite a long time..
‘There must be a restaurant or something here too.?’
It's a building this size, so of course there is..
I think there are about ten of them.?
I tried to leave the room while thinking nonsense..
“…hmm.”
First, I put down my hand holding the door handle..
I somehow had a feeling that if I went to Heros' restaurant now, I would run into Verita..
It's a premonition that's almost certain.?
That woman might still be looking for me..
I went back to bed and sat down..
“It's a measure…….”
I don't know anything else, but I felt like I needed to clearly figure out how to deal with Verita.…….
That's the moment.
[‘The ‘Blind Heavenly Demon’ is looking at you..]
“what?”
A whitish window that I once saw appeared before my eyes..
“second sister-in-law?”
[‘‘Blind Heavenly Demon’ asks if something is troubling him..]
“There is, but… … . No, what happened suddenly??”
In the carriage, I continued to drink the holy water given to me by Helsta, and occasionally called my second sister-in-law.…….
The second sister-in-law never responded..
In the end, I gave up after realizing that communication isn't something I can share the moment I want..
At this moment, my second sister-in-law was speaking to me again..
[‘'Blind Heavenly Demon' smiles slightly and replies that he feels a little more relaxed now..]
Can we only communicate when we have free time??
So what is a situation where there is no leisure?.
I became curious about the current condition of my second sister-in-law.…….
There were many other things to ask about Cheonaktanseo, but it seemed like time was running out to ask them all..
‘It just worked out well..’
The second sister-in-law is rich in experience, deep in knowledge, and above all, wise..
Moreover, since I don't really have to hide the fact that I'm a member of the church, it was appropriate to reveal everything and ask for their opinion..
“So, what kind of situation am I in right now?…….”
I tried to summarize the situation as best as I could..
Of course, since it was Heros' headquarters, it was not possible to use direct words such as church member or priest.…….
There was a guy who took advantage of my weak points, and I said that I felt uncomfortable because that person's mental state was not sound..
The sister-in-law who heard the whole story reacted.
[‘‘Blind Heavenly Demon’ reminds me of Myosu..]
oh? What is it?
[Let's kill.]
“…That's a bit.”
As expected, there are parts of you that are extreme..
[‘‘Blind Heavenly Demon’ says.]
- Judging by her actions, she is a villain, and even an enemy with a weak point. When such a being is a source of anxiety, there is no surer solution than killing it..
…Called.
The second sister-in-law seemed to be speaking.
“It's sad, but she seems much stronger than me.”
[‘I am confident that ‘Blind Heavenly Demon’ will teach you the tricks of a surprise attack..]
“well… … . It had monstrous regenerative powers. Honestly, there's a chance you won't die even if you cut off your head or burst your heart..”
He stopped responding for a moment to my reply..
He probably seemed lost in thought..
It was at that moment that an unexpected person appeared..
[‘The ‘Iron Monk’ appears.]
iron monk?
Of course, what came to mind was a person with a body as strong as steel..
“fourth death penalty?”
[‘The ‘Iron Monk’ nods..]
“and.”
You can really talk to other executioners..
I asked with a bright smile on my face..
“How you doing? My body is fine.?”
Of course, I was talking about what happened at the academy..
If Arang had not dealt with hundreds of cavalry at that time, there would have been hundreds of casualties..
I know the strength of the death penalty, but it was the archmage's secret weapon.
[‘He says that ‘The Iron Monk’ was a very good stimulus..]
“haha.”
Everything we face in life is part of our practice... … . The image of the fourth death penalty that I always talked about comes to mind..
I asked again.
“Did you hear everything I said??”
[‘The ‘Iron Monk’ nods..]
“What do you think of the death penalty??”
[‘The ‘Iron Monk’ says that there is a clear algorithm in all human actions..]
[Even if the character appears to be irregular and the embodiment of chaos, he or she must have characteristics, thoughts, habits, and ways of drawing conclusions..]
[I assert that if only such a pattern could be known, there would be nothing that could not be understood..]
I literally laughed at the way he spoke, almost like a brother and a death sentence..
I was just looking at the message window with a few lines of text, but for some reason I felt like two executioners were watching me..
Oh, right.
“Is there a third death penalty??”
A message appeared as if waiting for my words..
[‘George, who skipped breakfast and is a real man, sees you.…….]
What are you doing??
[…Since you are currently away, you cannot be contacted. After the beep sound, you will be connected to Sorisam..]
[Beep-.]
“…….”
