I Became God of War's Youngest Disciple - Episode 26
26fury
When people are very tired, there are times when they start to see things in vain. This is a fact I have confirmed through my own experience..
Now we are in a situation where we are hearing nonsense, not nonsense..
“…Musin?”
[Yes. Yeonja.]
Musin.
god…….
There is no way to guess what you mean..
The inverted triangle pattern discovered by Carl Jacques.
An altar to a forgotten god, said to be somewhere in a cave..
‘no way…….’
Has the god forgotten by the battle just awakened??
[Are you surprised? But, Yeonja, this warrior does not speak twice. This means that this glorious offer is not just idle talk. ruler. Come to the altar where I am.]
It's so noisy it's killing me.
Maybe it's because I overexerted myself for the first time in a while, but I feel like I'm getting a bad boner..
Is it martial arts or tattoos? For now, I just want you to shut up..
[hmm. I guess you're not happy about this relationship. is it. weren't you my teacher…….]
I don't know, I'll sleep for a while first.-.
[Then I guess I'll have to find another believer. It seems like an excellent warrior is coming here..]
“…what?”
When I heard those words, I forced my eyelids to close..
A drone is coming here?
I'm sure you're not talking about Calzac or Arjan..
If it's as I expected, those two will still be frozen in the cold erupted from the Sapphire Snake..
[Someone is running at breakneck speed from the other side of the cave. Hmm. I can also feel God’s protection..]
God's protection.
This being said so, but that does not mean that what is coming now is the descendant of a great family..
As I said before, the Forgotten God is a being with ambiguous concepts of good and evil..
What this means is that these people consider not only the blessings of the 72 gods, but even the curses of the evil gods as protection..
In other words, the one currently heading here is Haden Eihar's minion, and if he becomes a follower of this forgotten god,…….
In the worst case, there may be one more Demon Lord..
‘Ah-oh.’
I gritted my teeth and stood up and said.
“Where should I go??”
* * *
The place I headed to was the place where the jeweled beast's eggs were kept..
This is the space revealed during the fierce battle with Sapphire Snake..
Jabak-.
stench.
Moving forward by stepping on old eggshells.
As I walked through the pitch-black darkness, I came to a series of forks in the road..
[It's on the right.]
[Here on the left.]
[Now go straight.]
I was able to move forward easily following the guidance of a self-proclaimed martial god..
How many crossroads have we passed?.
After a while, a very large space appeared..
It was large enough to comfortably accommodate dozens of buildings, and the ceiling was high enough to hold a sapphire snake standing in a straight line..
In such a wide and distant place, there was a building that was suddenly erected..
“…….”
upside down tower.
Remains of a forgotten god symbolizing reverse heaven.
The tower itself was shabby and had many damaged areas, as it had not been able to avoid storms and waves for a long time..
Nevertheless, I was momentarily overwhelmed by the atmosphere..
Rather than being unsightly, it has an old-fashioned feel..
[Yeonja, come here.]
I hurried my steps at Musin’s words..
There was a simple altar in front of the tower..
“…I didn't make this backwards.”
[To say the obvious. If you turn the altar upside down, you can't offer offerings..]
“offering…….”
I sighed and said.
“God of War, I have no deep knowledge of the Forgotten God. What are the specific benefits of becoming your first believer?.”
[Huh. How do we judge the value of faith in terms of pros and cons? Becoming a follower of this god of war is an honor in itself..]
“God's standards are difficult for humans to accept. I don't think it's wrong for a worldly being to covet worldly values..”
[hmm…….]
Musin sighed..
[That's not wrong. okay. The perspectives of God and humans are different..]
Mushin thought for a moment and spoke in a triumphant voice..
[I understand. then… If you become a believer, I will teach you the strongest martial arts I have learned.!]
“I don't really need that.”
Musin asked in a puzzled voice at my immediate answer..
[You don't need it? Why?.]
“I already have martial arts skills.”
[That's not a problem. Yeonja seems to be still young, so it won't be a problem for him to learn a new martial art..]
“I have no intention of learning a new martial art for the time being.…….”
[why?]
“That’s because the martial art I’m learning is the best..”
[…….]
It looked like Musin had forgotten what to say for a moment..
[Yeonja, you may not know because you are still inexperienced as a martial artist, but if you are a martial artist, you should not say the word ‘strongest’ so easily..]
“God of War just said that.”
[I am Musin. Isn't it strange that a being who is the god of martial arts can't say that the martial art he created is the strongest??]
That's true.
[It's frustrating. The speaker doesn't know how lucky this is..]
For some reason, God’s reaction was more humane than expected, but.
Aside from that, I felt a transcendent devotion and maturity in his speech and prayers..
Maybe the saying “Mushin” is true..
The moment that thought occurred to me, I wanted to ask a few questions and answers with this martial god..
“Martial God, the teacher who taught me said that among all the martial arts under the heavens, there is no higher or lower level. The most important thing is the competency of the learner and how well the aptitude for martial arts matches the user..”
[You're not wrong..]
“Do you agree with what my teacher said? Then why did you call your martial arts the strongest?.”
It's not something I can call my real person, but I couldn't think of a proper way to refer to it..
Musin said with a voice filled with laughter..
[Yeonja matures prematurely for his age. In his own way, he seems to have caught a clue about an individual's lack of education. Regardless of the level, it is a difficult achievement to achieve at that age.…….]
“…….”
[I'll answer your question. First of all, if you are a martial artist who has reached a certain level, everyone will inevitably have different opinions about who is the strongest..]
I blinked slightly..
That's because it's been a long time since I don't understand something..
[For some, being the strongest may simply mean invincibility, and for others, it may be undefeated. Others may consider simply surviving to be the strongest. There are differences depending on what kind of life each person has experienced..]
After listening to Mushin’s explanation, I understood..
Invincible and undefeated may seem like similar words, but the difference is actually clear..
It's a different thing to fight directly against something that has no opponent and only win..
And you don't even care about losing, and you consider surviving at the end as a victory... Well, okay.
From my perspective, I think it's closer to a competition between animals than between humans..
[The reason why my martial arts skills are the strongest is simple. If anyone learns my martial arts under the same conditions and with an equal amount of time, the person who has learned my martial arts has the highest probability of reaching the strongest level..]
“Is that proven??”
[That's right. A long time ago... It has been proven countless times in times you have forgotten.]
For a moment, a faint feeling lingered in Mushin’s voice..
[…Anyway, I'm curious. The person who taught Yeonja seems to be quite an expert. What did he say about his martial arts??]
“He said that there will never be a martial art under heaven, before or in the future, that can surpass this..”
This is talking about the best of all time rather than the 100th eclipse..
This ideology was ultimately Baek No-gwang's, so it was not wrong..
[It is a martial art that has never been seen before. … . What an arrogant person you are..]
Mushin added.
[But, you look like you deserve it.]
“…….”
[Judging from the impression I heard from the teacher, the teacher probably has these thoughts..]
- Even if I only half-learn street swordsmanship, I am the strongest..
For a moment, goosebumps appeared on the back of my neck..
You may have never seen him in person, but this martial arts man clearly understood the teacher's tendencies..
[Interesting. I know someone similar, too.…….]
“…….”
[Anyway, since he has such thoughts, it would be natural for him to consider the martial art or method of operation he created himself to be the best. In other words, if you interpret what Yeon-ja said, ‘There is no expert in martial arts,’ it is as follows..]
- There is no high level of all martial arts under the sky. Except what I created.
“…hmm.”
I have never seen anyone who understood what Master was like so quickly..
They've never even met or seen me in person, they've only heard a few things about me..
“I understand what you are saying..”
I said politely.
Regardless of the truth, I decided that I was a being worthy of being polite..
But that doesn't mean all questions have been answered..
“However, God of War, according to what you said, the martial art that God of War teaches you is not the strongest, and it could be that you are simply thinking that way yourself.?”
[haha.]
Mushin burst out laughing..
Fortunately, he didn't seem to feel too bad..
Mushin thought for a moment and said:.
[Then do it like this. Show me the martial art Yeonja said you mastered. Then I will tell you how to improve that martial art..]
“…….”
[I have no intention of insulting your teacher, so calm down..]
What is my expression like?
I almost instinctively touched my own face, but I barely held back because I thought it would be an even worse behavior..
[All you have to do is listen and accept it if you feel it makes sense. What is it like?.]
“…hmm.”
I never thought there would come a day in my life when I would hear such an arrogant suggestion..
Oh my gosh, I can't believe I'm going to edit the martial arts skills of Baek No-gwang, the best in the world.?
If it hadn't happened before, I wouldn't have even snorted at this..
But now... I was curious.
I thought that perhaps this martial being could be the pinnacle of martial arts comparable to my teacher..
“great.”
I took a stance right away..
* * *
Like a sword dance, the 100-day ceremony was performed from the beginning..
There's no need to rush it, so take it slow.
So that the being of martial arts can clearly realize the core and truth of martial arts..
[…….]
Meanwhile, Calzac's suggestion suddenly occurred to me..
You said you wanted to make me your disciple.
Carlzac was a man worthy of respect.
He is a man who is strong, affectionate, knows when to be strict, and is also persistent..
It's not that I have a low social reputation, nor that I have no aptitude for teaching..
In summary, Carlzac was an outstanding teacher with humanity..
It was not for nothing that I thought that my life before returning might have changed if he had stayed at home..
But I rejected Carlzak’s offer..
Not once, but several times.
Strangely, I don't want to call him instructor, teacher, or teacher..
In fact, this applies to everyone, not just Calzak..
Sooooo-.
[…….]
Martial arts created with a teacher, Baekilsik.
To me, a solar eclipse is a memory..
From the first half to the tenth second ceremony.
The origin of all herbivory, what process it went through, how it came into existence, all of that still comes to mind vividly..
…learned a lot.
It's not just martial arts.
What is wrong as a person, what needs to be corrected, the direction of life, what kind of life should I live, what kind of life do I want to live?.
And then I realized that even guys like me have good points..
So, to me, the existence of Baek No-kwang feels inadequate to be described simply as a teacher..
“…….”
The demonstration of the Hundred Sunshine Eclipse has ended..
I looked at the altar, slightly out of breath..
Maybe it's because I'm out of shape, but my body feels hot even after just demonstrating..
‘rotten…….’
When you wake up, it will be difficult to even lift a finger..
I swallowed my sleep, remembering the white flower's rebound that would sooner or later return like a boomerang..
[Yeonja, what is the name of the martial art you just learned?.]
Musin, who had been silent all this time, spoke.
“It's a hundred solar eclipse..”
[hmm.]
Musin, who was silent for a moment, spoke in a firm voice..
[Yeonja, I won’t talk too much. Stop learning about 100,000 dishes..]
