I Became God of War's Youngest Disciple - Episode 280

How can a corpse explode??
Where the kid was, only horrible blood and pieces of flesh remained..
I sighed at the cruelty of the cultists. I couldn't understand and didn't want to understand what was going on in the minds of those who arbitrarily used words like abandoning children..
“are you okay?”
“yes.”
Berita nodded calmly, but actually didn't look that good..
This guy's right arm looked like it had melted into a horrible shape because he had stretched out that arm to block the explosion..
“It doesn't look okay at all. It doesn't hurt?”
“If you are asking whether there is pain or not, then of course it hurts. But mere physical pain cannot break me..”
The moment she said that, new skin was already sprouting on Berita's arms..
Every time I saw it, it had a monster-like regenerative power..
In fact, even the eyeballs that were pulled out can be regenerated in an instant, which takes about eight hours. Of course, it is true that I am indebted to you..
“Pain isn't something you have to worry about... … . I think you need to know something about this..”
“yes?”
“Anyway, I am indebted to you. I never thought he would commit suicide.”
“The Golden Horn's minions are a bit aggressive. These are people who do not know the truth, so they will continue to dig many traps, and when they do not work, they will end up like this..”
“hmm.”
Judging from his tone, it seems that Berita already knew, or at least suspected, that this boy was a believer..
I wanted to talk more about this, but I heard a crash outside and the door burst open and Ramon appeared..
“What on earth was that... Heo Eok?”
Ramon's mouth dropped open when he saw the disaster in the room..
That's the kind of reaction you would get if the room where the child being cared for just a moment ago was covered in blood and giving off a bad smell..
“What on earth is this?……?”
“The kid was a church member..”
“yes? Is that kid??”
“It seemed like I was being scolded..”
“ah…….”
Ramon probably doesn't know about the church members' behavior. No matter how expert he is in office work, he is still a hero..
“I see.…….”
Ramon quickly grasped the situation, sighed, and said:.
“I'll clean up this place first..”
“may I?”
“Of course I will. And since my brother just came up from the basement, he should go down and talk to me about the stone gate..”
“Then please.”
When I left Ramon and went down to the first floor, I saw Lanferro sitting in front of the table..
He was staring intently at a piece of paper on the table, but he seemed so focused that he didn't even notice when I approached him..
“boss?”
“hmm. sit down.”
According to the superior's order, Verita and I sat side by side in front of him..
Lanfero asked, still reading the paper..
“My stomach was noisy. What was the fuss about??”
“The kid I rescued was a church member. When his identity was discovered, he was scared and committed suicide..”
“The kid?”
Lanfero's expression frowned as if he was displeased..
“Flesh explosion. This is a tactic that the Golden Horn often uses. Did you leave the cleaning up to Ramon??”
“yes.”
“good job. There may be poison in the flesh or blood..”
After speaking, Lanfero showed me the paper he was reading..
Pentagram in ominous form. Inside, there were all kinds of strange shapes intertwined with each other..
“This is a magic circle that was underground..”
“okay. I was just interpreting it.…….”
Lanfero said in a slightly embarrassed voice..
“According to my interpretation, there are five functions of the magic circle. [Communication], [Corruption], [Preservation], [Interconnection], and [Movement] respectively..”
“……?”
Even if you say that, I don't know what the function is..
Verita, who was sitting next to me, said.
“[[Communication] means communion with fellow church members who are far away, and [Corruption] worsens the mentality of people within the radius of this magic circle and turns them into church members. In this case, the area would have started from the village chief's house and expanded to the entire village. [Preservation] prevents the decomposition of the corpse being sacrificed, and [Connectivity] allows the sacrifice offered here to be included in rituals taking place elsewhere..”
“aha… … . Then move?”
“sorry. I'm not sure about that.”
“The space beyond the stone gate is a different world..”
Lanferraux answered for him..
During the day, relatively dark red eyes turned towards me..
“Luan, you said you went in beyond the stone gate, right? Was there anything strange??”
“… Now that I think about it, the underground cave was incredibly spacious. If there was such a space under this village, it wouldn't be surprising if it collapsed long ago..”
“Then you probably moved to a completely different space at that time..”
That makes sense.
If that's true, there's an explanation for that random space..
‘More than that, it's a little surprising.’
Lanfero Nosferatu.
Unlike Ramon, who had come to some understanding, this Corrupted clan leader was still a mysterious figure..
It doesn't seem like he's a bad person, but it feels like it's hard to deny that he's intentionally hiding himself..
It was only at this moment that he showed his side a little… … . The level of knowledge was extraordinary..
At least, I've never seen anyone so knowledgeable about black magic other than the black fairy librarian..
“However, what you are saying seems to be that there is an additional hidden function in the magic circle..”
“Exactly. There's probably at least one more feature we haven't uncovered, but honestly, I'm not sure about this..”
“Is that so…….”
I took the paper and said.
“I have someone I want to ask a little question about..”
“who? Well, I'm not measuring it, but it would be difficult for even a warlock who is confident in his skills to interpret..”
“The librarian of our family's underground library..”
“…librarian?”
“yes. Black magic, necromancy, demonology... … . Anyway, he is a person with tremendous knowledge in the unclean world. He was indebted to me even when I was at the academy..”
After thinking for a moment, Lanfero asked:.
“If Badniker's librarian is a person well versed in black magic... Is it Lyceradigos by any chance? Black Sky Mage?”
“Do you know?”
“…I've at least heard the name. You're famous..”
“…….”
Is that really so??
He's a person from at least hundreds of years ago, so it's unusual to hear his name..
Moreover, Lanfero's face was very calm when he said that, so it was difficult to tell if he had really just heard the name or if he was lying..
“That's a good idea, but here's a way to get his advice.?”
“This one.”
I took out the key I received from Lise and said,.
“To borrow the words of the boss, it is a magic tool with the function of [movement]..”
“Ohh…….”
“But there is one problem.”
“what?”
“Lise is a very noble and proud wizard, so she won't help you out of thin air. If you want to entrust the interpretation, you will have to pay a corresponding price... … . There's no way to get it here now..”
“What do you need? money? knowledge? Or materials needed for magic or alchemy.?”
“Cookies..”
“…….”
For a moment, the surroundings were immersed in silence..
Lanfero said with a slightly disheveled expression..
“hmm… … . If you dig into magic, you'll need sugar. It's not that I don't understand..”
“yes.”
“Cookie. I guess I'll think about it some more first. Anyway, now we have two options.”
Lanfero spread his fingers and said.
“The first is to enter beyond the stone gate and ruin the ceremony that is taking place somewhere there. It's very dangerous, and you could all die, but you'll be able to exploit the enemy's weakness..”
That's true..
The member of the Church of the Golden Horn issued a threat before committing suicide..
It may be seen as a simple threat, but intimidation is usually carried out even in situations where one is quite emotionally driven..
In other words, the church's Kangma ritual has now entered a very important stage, and it may be a time when it should never be disturbed..
“What about the second one??”
“You should go to the Frostwolf tribe's village right away and join Pied. There must be a connection between the request he received and what happened in this town..”
“But it will be quite time consuming..”
“that's right. If you make a mistake, you may miss the timing and not be able to stop the ceremony..”
“How far is it from Frostwolf Village??”
The answer came from the second floor..
“It will take at least two days..”
Ramon, who had finished cleaning up, was trudging down the stairs. I think it's been about 10 minutes now, but have they already cleaned up the mess??
That goblin is definitely not ordinary either..
“A round trip takes four days, but considering the weather conditions, it could extend by another two days..”
“It's an unknown..”
“That's right.”
“hmm…….”
As I was thinking, Lanfero said:.
“Both answers may be correct, or both may be incorrect. So I guess I'll leave it to your opinion.”
“Just my opinion?”
“okay. Since you went through the stone gate, you must have felt the overall atmosphere.?”
“That's right, but then shouldn't the boss just go in and check??”
“I forgot to mention, but there is a limit to the number of times the stone gate can be opened. It only opens once every three days. Since you opened it last night, that means we'll have to wait until at least the day after tomorrow..”
“aha…….”
It's so vague..
If it had been five days instead of three, I could have just joined Feed and his group..
I thought for a moment about when I opened the stone gate and what was beyond..
To be honest, I was so anxious at the time that I didn't have time to check my surroundings.…….
First of all, it wasn't a place that felt that dangerous..
“…….”
Therefore, it was concluded that it was dangerous..
It is clear that there is something at the end of the cave leading to the stone gate..
Otherwise, there would be no reason for church members to resort to manipulative actions to stop it..
But there was something strange about entering such a place, and coming from such a great family, that I felt nothing..
It's beyond strange, it's so bizarre.
“…I think I need to think about it..”
“okay. Because I still have a day or two to spare..”
Lanferro suddenly got up from his seat and said.
“Then I guess I'll try baking…….”
…I don't know if that's a joke or not.
* * *
I returned to the room.
After checking for signs around him, he cleared his throat slightly and began speaking..
“Hey, executioners!?”
I open my mouth carefully, as if I were knocking on the room of a sleeping person.…….
[‘The ‘Blind Heavenly Demon’ is looking at you..]
[‘The ‘Iron Monk’ appears.]
Two executioners appeared as if they had been waiting for them..
“You both were there.?”
I smiled slightly relieved..
In the end, the method I chose was to consult with someone..
As far as I know, these two are the most knowledgeable. I'm not overestimating the death penalty, it's the truth..
Of course, apart from that, this top may not be particularly helpful..
Because they were both in a world so far away from me, they probably didn't fully understand the situation I was in..
I wondered what it mattered..
Consulting is not necessarily done to get an answer. Sometimes, just letting out what you have inside is meaningful..
“However, the third death penalty…….”
[‘Because ‘Nakgopsae Jonmattaeng’ is currently absent,…….]
“You're not here today either…….”
I wasn't disappointed, perhaps because I didn't have high expectations..
“Why did you call me this time?…….”
I started giving a rough explanation again..
This is a brief summary of the situation I am currently in..
[‘‘Blind Heavenly Demon’ is worried..]
[‘The ‘Iron Monk’ is silent..]
After the story was over, both of them were lost in their thoughts..
Well, I didn't think the trick would come out right away..
In the first place, I was planning to make the final decision regarding this matter, and I just thought that I would like to hear opinions on the death penalty since it is at least roughly okay..
I feel sorry for entrusting such a troublesome task to these two people..
‘When today’s talk is over, may I ask you about Cheonaktanseo?…….’
If possible, I would like to know about the seventy-two evil spirits that have been bothering my sister-in-law..
It was when I was thinking about such trivial things..
[…I advise you to step down.]
As if my worries were over, a message like this appeared..
“huh?”
But it was an unexpected conclusion..
It doesn't seem to be the opinion of the second sister-in-law, who has a tendency to be a god of destruction, and is the fourth death penalty??
When that thought occurred to me.
[‘We recommend that the ‘Colorless Demon King’ step down..]
“…yes?”
An unexpected person broke in..
