Became the youngest disciple of God of War - Episode 248
248fury
I think I have met quite a variety of people, beings, and races in my life.…….
This is my first time meeting a living dragon..
However, the moment I realized that he was a dragon, Taon's unusual nickname and his strange actions all made sense..
The strange nickname Geumhyeol probably secretly hints at the fact that the head of the headquarters is Hwang Ryong.…….
If you are a Balaur who can enforce rules through language, it will not be difficult to control the situation and hide the truth no matter how loudly you make a fuss..
“The courage to make a joke even in this situation is amazing. Or are you just an idiot who can't understand the situation? I could kill you right here.”
Is this a bluff or the truth??
slightly ambiguous.
This is because the sloppy and languid appearance that Taon showed just before can no longer be found in the current Taon. It looks like his personality has changed..
However, since it was my duty to respond to threats to my life, I spoke calmly..
“Let's give it a try.”
“Is that so??”
The golden eyes shined again.
[Get crushed.]
Cooung……!
The virtual weight that was applied only to the lower body expanded its influence to the upper body..
It felt like a large giant was pressing down on my head with its palm, but I had built up enough strength and was able to hold on somehow..
Except I almost chewed my tongue while talking..
“A well-trained body. I guess I performed diligently..”
“…….”
Of course, I didn't have time to answer this question..
There wasn't, but continuing to look down on him like this doesn't suit my temperament..
If the opponent, whether he is the head of Heros or something else, tries to press me so openly,…….
The spring called rebellious spirit inside me has no choice but to bounce..
Hwareuk……!
Cheiltan Cheilson sympathized with my decision..
The flame blooming from the lower part of the body races through the entire body..
whole body.
In other words, the effect inevitably extended to the right arm, but in the current situation, there is nothing that can be done..
This was because coordination of internal strength was important, so if the right arm was pulled out, the balance would be lost..
Naturally, my right arm became hot as if on fire, and the pain was so great that I even momentarily forgot the pressure pressing down on my shoulder..
‘Shit……!’
I'm going to run away in pain.
The pain was throbbing in my brain so much that I wanted to cut off my arm, but I was used to patience from the beginning..
Ignoring the pain with bloodshot eyes, I began operating my internal strength in earnest..
Supplementing internal strength soon made up for the lack of physical strength in the muscles and bones, and also relieved the pressure weighing down the whole body..
“oh…….”
I heard a little exclamation.
Of course, I had no intention of being satisfied with this level of satisfaction..
I raise my trembling legs up to my thighs, then lower them down and step on the ground..
Cooung……!
The entire office shook with a fairly loud sound. A bundle of documents fluttered like fallen leaves, and the tea set that was provided fell to the ground..
Meanwhile, the potential power extending from the soles of my feet surged like lava, and then erupted from the top of my head..
Quaaaaaaa-!
Like lava erupting from a volcano flowing down a ridge, the hot energy erupting from the top of the head wrapped the whole body like armor..
In that state, I stretched my fist into the air. It was clearly a fist thrown into the air, but it felt like I hit something blunt.…….
Kaang-!
With a sound like a glass window cracking, the pressure that had been weighing down my whole body disappeared in an instant..
“…….”
The head of the department looked at me out of breath and scratched the back of my head in a shy manner..
“This is so... … . You can't believe you're breaking Yongeon with your bare body. His operational skills are far superior to those of those who pretend to be wizards. I'm not in control at that age, I'm not 16, I'm 36?”
“…yes?”
“In fact, he is not Delak's son, but his brother. Why, there is something like a blessing that slows down aging..”
“Can you say that even after looking at this soft skin??”
“what. Hiiro and your dad have much better skin..”
“…….”
cowardly, facts?
I closed the spout.
It's not that I'm not ugly, but it's true that it's a bit disappointing compared to other bloodlines..
the general manager said.
“Anyway, it's amazing. Is this the bloodline of iron blood??”
“Don't judge by bloodline.”
I responded harshly, as if countering what I just said..
“It's not because of the matriarch, it's just that I'm great..”
“Is that so?.”
Taon smiled slightly with an inexplicable face and bent down..
“After all, you shouldn’t do something you haven’t done before..”
Then, I started cleaning up the messy surroundings. The image of him squatting down and picking up spilled documents looked good..
So, this means that Taon is not a dragon again, but has returned to his original, powerless form..
Anyway, since it was a dish I made, I also quietly watched and cleaned up the broken teaware..
After a while, we cleaned up and sat down across from each other..
He is the person who said he would kill me right before.…….
I didn't really mention anything about it. It was because I knew it wasn’t sincere anyway..
Still, it was clear that he suddenly used abusive language and threatened me, so I didn't particularly apologize for upsetting the office..
“…….”
The general manager did not open his mouth as if he was contemplating something..
I had no choice but to speak first..
“I've stepped on a pretty big foot, but no one is coming..”
“of course. I directly told you to go out..”
“yes?”
“You won't come back until I tell you to come back in, right? Whether you hear an explosion or someone screaming in this room..”
“aha.”
In other words, it meant that not only Jerome, who had just left, but also the heroes around him had absolute trust in the head of the headquarters..
Even if I am a church member who infiltrated with an impure purpose,…….
He is confident that the head of the headquarters will be able to subdue him without difficulty..
I also agree with that idea..
It is said that dragons who could use dragon language were rare even during the turbulent times of the continent in the past, but I had no idea that such a person existed among the very few dragons that survived in modern times..
As I was still being convinced, the general manager spoke again..
“Delac won't tolerate it..”
“hmm.”
I wondered what this meant again, but it was a belated answer to the question I asked earlier..
therefore… The question is whether they have joined hands with a religious denomination..
“Let me tell you, this is a bit different from the typical alliance you think of. A temporary partnership, the enemy of my enemy is my friend, if you kill this bastard, it's your turn next... … . What does it feel like??”
“I think I understand.”
“really?”
“yes. Aren’t you saying that you joined hands with a part of the faction, not the entire denomination??”
“Ohh.”
The general manager, slightly surprised, nodded and smiled..
“Exactly.”
“Huh, really…….”
“I also know what faction you've joined hands with.?”
The head of the department asked a question as if he was slightly confused..
To be honest, I wanted to avoid answering, but I thought it was a handshake and opened my mouth..
I answered, hiding my bitter expression..
“colorless faction.”
“Why do you think so?”
“Unlike other factions, they have never directly harmed the Empire or Heros..”
“hmm.”
I exhale as if asking me to say more…….
I had no choice but to continue fluttering..
“Of course, it's only external, and you may have encountered countless encounters in places you can't see. Just because you didn't cause harm doesn't mean you're not a member of the church. Still, in the worst case scenario, when an alliance is discovered, I thought that the only one who could make an excuse would be that faction..”
Of course, that excuse won't work at all..
“that's right.”
The moment Taon said yes, Verita came to mind..
Did he not know this? Or did he know but pretend not to know?.
If it's the latter, I think it's worth reconsidering Verita's attitude of acting as if she would take out everything, including my liver and gallbladder..
If it was all just acting, it would be creepy in a different way..
“I think I'm fed up?”
“…A little bit?”
“Still, I can't help it. In order for an organization like this to survive for a long time, it cannot be too white or too black. The secret is to maintain an appropriate gray color. Likewise, your mental state should also be held fairly loosely. It's important to keep it a little crazy.”
“…….”
It seems like it's true.
Definitely excludes psychological rejection and the possibility of being betrayed.…….
If you temporarily join hands with the church, your only opponent will be a colorless faction..
I know best on this continent that those guys are alien beings even within the church..
The sixth demon king who never existed in the first place and his followers…….
They called the colorless demon king, that is, the great brother, not the demon king, but the [judge]..
Although he belonged to a religious denomination, he seemed to have no qualms about harming other members..
If so, the purpose may also be quite distant from that of existing church members..
“How did you negotiate it??”
“The trigger was Delac..”
“The head of the family?”
“okay. Have you heard anything? We discovered the location of the Colorless Demon King, and an expedition team was formed to subdue him..”
“ah…….”
heard.
I remember what I heard when I had a conversation with Sanghyeolgong at home..
- I know the whereabouts of the Colorless Demon King..
- I even fought directly.
But I knew the end would be a miserable failure..
“Was the general manager also there??”
“no. But I heard the whole story..”
I clenched my fists so as not to be noticed..
okay. This is it.
This is why I chose Heros as my career path..
Information that you would never have access to if you entered the imperial family or acquired a different status, and even if you could, it would require a lot of time and money.…….
Here in Heros, you can secure everything with just one skill..
It was then.
Taon said something a little shocking..
“In that expedition, the Colorless Demon Lord did not kill a single person..”
“yes? I understand there were quite a few casualties.?”
“The place where there was colorlessness was the Demonic Land, so there were other threatening elements scattered about as well. It all happened before I faced the devil..”
“…….”
“They say that achromatic colors wanted to talk. The voice heard through the armor was so rational, gentle, and even polite... … . Most of the expedition members present were nodding their heads..”
At this moment, I remembered the voice of the great master..
On a pleasantly cool day, when I was lying down on a rock and taking a nap, I remembered the soft tune I heard in my ear..
“However, the expedition was led by a man who would not compromise with the devil or the church under any circumstances..”
“hmm.”
I thought I knew who it was.
Taon continued..
“Delac and Achromatic fought for their lives on the spot. The sound of metal clashing echoed across the ridge. Every time there is a combination, the mountain is chipped away and the ground is turned over. There were S-class heroes among those who participated in the expedition at the time, but they were unable to follow the flow of the battle..”
“…….”
“But in the end, it was the neutral color that achieved what I wanted. Achromatic color ended the battle without killing anyone, as he had wanted. in other words-.”
“Are you saying that the neutral color was one step above the matriarch??”
Taon did not give a complete yes..
Then, in a different attitude than before, he wet his mouth with alcohol and continued speaking..
“The fight itself was medieval. However, Delac tried to kill Achromatic, but Achromatic did not do that. Since the difference in mindset was not small, it would be correct to say that at least half of them were pushed back..”
“…….”
Taon seemed to at least try to explain carefully so as not to shock me.…….
I was surprised in a different way.
So, Iron Blood Ball was much stronger than I expected..
I know well about the strength of the Colorless Demon King. More accurately than anyone else in the world, probably even their followers..
The metabolic type is strong..
Master's first and strongest disciple..
Even when competing with Baek No-gwang, it was like a fight to some extent.…….
If he had fought such a great type in Baekjeongseong, the strength of the Sanghyeolgong would also be beyond the realm of royalty..
literally a thousand times.
As he said himself, he is fully qualified to aim for the seat of the god of war..
‘It's shockingly far away..’
Compared to such a great type and iron-blooded baller, my current level felt even more shabby..
It's true that I'm getting stronger at an incredible rate compared to my age and the time I've spent, but it's been difficult to completely get rid of my impatience..
10year.
No, it's been 9 years now.
Because the time allowed to me was not that long.
“So Achromatic left, and later one of the believers attempted to contact Jerome. And a temporary treaty was signed on the spot..”
“what kind of treaty was it?”
“Nothing special. Instead of maintaining an outwardly hostile relationship, let's turn a blind eye to some degree when each other slightly invades each other's territory. This is it. Of course, if the intruder crosses the line, he or she can be punished at any time..”
“hmm.”
“The person I was talking to was a girl with black hair and red eyes. Her appearance, way of speaking, and atmosphere were all unusual. Looking at the attitudes of the guys around me, I thought maybe that kid was the brains. He seemed to have quite a knack for politics and management, which allowed him to infiltrate a few spies into the church. Thanks to this, I was able to prevent a lot of dangerous things in advance. Although it was not revealed to the world.”
“…….”
Is it Leone??
He had unique features such as black hair and red eyes, and I couldn't think of anyone else that had anything to do with the colorless believer..
“As far as I know, Badnicker also benefited from this deal.?”
“ah-.”
Onam Ludwig Badniker.
I never thought it would be mentioned at this moment.
I asked something a little strange.
“The head of the house doesn't know that the treaty was signed, but he infiltrated Badniker's character.?”
“huh. I received help from a collaborator who had been infiltrated in advance. From Delac's point of view, he probably just thinks that our capabilities are incredibly good..”
“It's not a particularly good way..”
“that's right. If one person gets caught, sausages will be served to them... … . That's why we operate our spy team very carefully and with a very small number of people. Fortunately, we haven't been discovered yet..”
“hmm.”
Taon said proudly..
“Is this top secret information that not even Heros knows about? As you talk, I feel quite old-fashioned, so I am revealing everything like this. I hope you understand my sincerity, so please ask Miss Rasbet for a favor. Don't ever reveal this to Delac either..”
“…….”
To be honest, there is nothing bad about this trend to me. Rather pretty good.
My biggest threat was having Verita's identity discovered, and although it was precarious, if I was allied with Heros from the beginning, I would be able to save at least one body even in the worst situation..
Of course, that doesn't mean you have to do it with your bare mouth..
“…….”
I deliberately paused, pretending to be thinking..
About 3 minutes.
Taon waited quietly without saying anything. Occasionally sipping from a hip flask.
Eventually I said.
“great. Instead, I have a favor to ask of you..”
“What?”
I took out the letter from my pocket..
“that…….”
“[This is a letter from [Black Rose].”
“hmm.”
“As you can see, I received a recruitment offer from the head of the family. However, I heard that the Black Rose is a clan that has been run by the matriarch alone, so if this happens, my position is a bit awkward..”
“Umm. I guess so. Because it seems unlikely that Delak will also recruit Razbet..”
“yes.”
I nodded and said.
“How could this proposal be rejected by the direction of the head of the department??”
“I?”
“yes.”
No matter how much I think about it, I can't think of a good way to reject Sanghyeolgong's offer, so I plan to use the influence of this general manager..
In this hero organization, his position is higher than that of the Iron Blood Lord, and he is a dragon who knows how to use dragon language, so he doesn't seem to be afraid..
“Umm… Wow……?”
The general manager's expression suddenly became strange..
“Luan County?”
“yes?”
“hmm. therefore… Is there a reason you don't want to go into the black rose that your father made??”
“why do you ask that?”
“You could ask. Delac is a pretty cool guy, right? He's incredibly strong, gets things done clearly, and doesn't make mistakes. What a friend..”
I was quite disappointed to see him suddenly praising Iron Blood Ball..
I had high hopes for him since he was a dragon and the head of the headquarters, but it didn't look good to see him being promoted in the presence of Sanghyeolgong..
I said with an absurd face.
“What you mentioned are good things about being a boss. But those elements. As a father, it's all a bit like that..”
“…okay?”
“yes. I admit that she is perfect as the head of the family. But he is not an ideal father at all. So I don't like the matriarch very much, and I'm sure he doesn't like me either..”
At that moment, the head of the department slapped his forehead with his palm! hit.
Just say, “Oh my. Fucked… … .” It was a face that seemed to say.
‘what?’
At this point, I couldn't help but feel something strange.…….
That's the moment.
“That's right.”
A subdued, somewhat familiar, but at this moment a voice that should never be heard was heard from behind..
‘Holy shit?’
I looked back with a sinking feeling in my heart..
Even though it was broad daylight, the Iron Blood Ball was suddenly standing there, covered in darkness like a shield..
“…….”
Step by step.
Iron Blood Ball passed me by..
Then, his smooth fingers skimmed the back of the sofa, and I felt a cool sensation, as if a piece of ice had touched my back directly..
Soon, Sanghyeolgong was next to the general manager..
He sat down across from me and crossed his legs..
“I feel a little sad..”
“…….”
