I Became God of War's Youngest Disciple - Episode 301

301fury

what is war.

There may be various interpretations, but Jack Harvest, the head of [Frost El] and former Southern War Mage, thinks this way..

War is a conflict between means and means..

Honed military power, analysis, thorough preparation, improvisation and brain power... … . These things collide head-on and combine to create a result that is more distinct than anything else..

win and loss.

fame and notoriety.

life and death.

So, the key to war is how much you can destroy the other party's means with the means you have..

That was the reason why Jack was feeling hopeless right now..

Jack thought about the power, or means, that the corps commander displayed one by one..

An unknown tombstone, Alexia being squeezed to death, reviving and controlling a lion, and a musical instrument that makes even the bodies of heroes sluggish.…….

This is just a list of what has been revealed..

Even if he has just one of those, he would be a difficult enemy, and the corps commander probably still has a lot of hidden power..

On the other hand, the only effective means for us is the Mir Giant..

Jack opened his mouth..

“Mir Giant.”

“yep.”

“How much can Tombstone prevent in the future??”

“…….”

Mir thought for a moment and answered..

“entire.”

Is this a bluff? Or is it Manyong?.

I felt enough power in Mir's voice to dispel those doubts..

Then you must believe it.

Jack planned his strategy under the assumption that Mir could stop all the falling tombstones..

Corps commander quietly observing the situation.

What is that damn guy thinking right now??

‘must attack first.’

That's right.

Those who are more disadvantaged take the lead..

But what kind of attack should I use against that monster? Even if you use the strongest magic you can use, it doesn't seem to have any effect..

In a moment of contemplation, someone's new model was shot forward..

The unique fluttering hat and the back of a nun were captured in Jack's eyes..

‘Inquisitor Razvet!’

Berita took a step forward and muttered..

“…Great Baal! At this moment, Your Lamb longs for Your protection. Please give me the courage to face the devil..”

The moment Verita muttered lowly and made the sign of the cross, her whole body turned pure white..

Expanding Divine Power Exhibition.

The moment a technique that only a very small number of the Heretic Questioners could use was revealed, the instruments that filled the room became faint for the first time..

[…….]

The corps commander, seeing this, tilted his staff slightly this time..

jingle-.

The bell rang.

nothing happened.

It was like that for a little while..

“Ouch?!”

Without any warning, a scream came from behind..

‘Take control of your mind.’

Jack's eyes quickly scanned the battlefield, adding one of the corps commander's tools to his mind..

To check the conditions and scope.

Most of the native warriors who lost their senses were not given protection..

The range is estimated to be approximately 150 meters around the corps commander.…….

The range will probably vary depending on your tolerance for the instrument..

“Those who do not have anti-magic power, keep your distance from the corps commander! warrior unit!”

“Yeah, yep!”

“Follow Sister Razvet and attack the corps commander! Wizards create a barrier right away! As for the rest, knock out those being controlled! Do you understand? You must never kill!”

Looking at the corps commander's appearance, he did not appear to be a fighter. First of all, there was no blade..

The only weapon that appears to be a weapon is a staff with an animal skull on it, held tightly in a bony hand.…….

So, that means that the corps commander's specialty is special magic, black magic, or necromancy..

In fact, it is consistent with the performances shown so far..

Kwazijic!

Meanwhile, tombstones were falling ceaselessly from the sky..

It's Mir's job to destroy it all..

The endurance of the giants is second to none, but it seems difficult to stop them all alone..

Can Mir hold out until the barrier is formed??

With that thought in mind, Jack looked behind him and gritted his teeth when he saw most of the heroes still standing blankly..

“What on earth are they doing?-!”

Looking at the foolish people who still couldn't understand the situation, Jack's anger finally surpassed his fear..

“Can’t you see the situation now? That little giant hero struggles alone! The Heretic Questioner is rushing towards the corps commander alone! The Corrupted race we ignored so much is protecting civilians.!”

“……!”

“Was this the pride we had as heroes? Heros has degenerated, lost its original beliefs, and has become a group that only pursues profit! Did you think those who claimed that were actually right??”

Jack's face got hot..

It wasn't just about anger..

The cry he uttered became a dagger that struck him as well. The heat rushing to your face is probably due to shame..

“Are you not ashamed?!”

Jack's staff trembled..

Because I was holding it so tightly that my hands turned white..

“… It may be a useless struggle. But can we tolerate dying in vain like this? If I die like that, what kind of face will I see towards the leader who left first??”

I regret it.

In the end, the imperial family, mercenaries, heresy interrogators... His remarks opposing union with other groups.

It's not that I thought the incident in the North was anything special. However, I thought that they and Heros could do it alone..

The result is now.

Jack chewed his lip..

There must be a reason why the feed died and why I survived. There must be.

“Even if I die…….”

“…….”

“Even if it means dying, we will thwart the plans of those evil cultists! That is the mission of our Heros.-!”

As if in response, loud cheers rang out from all directions..

The enthusiasm that had disappeared with the appearance of the corps commander bloomed here and there in this cold cave..

In it, Jack felt guilty..

Because in the end, he was ordered to die. … I don't plan on getting it now..

‘The only hope is a short-term decisive battle. If time drags, it's our inevitable loss..’

So who holds the key to victory?.

Wizards forming a barrier? no. Not the one who is a clumsy leader, much less the warriors who lost their senses from the sound of the bell, and even less the heroes who are blocking them..

It's a pity, but his body was broken and it wasn't even the Mir Giant destroying the tombstone..

‘raid.’

The battle will only end when the raiding party, led by the Heretic Questioner, cuts off the corps commander's lifeline..

Verita also knew that fact well..

Also, as a colorless believer, Berita also knew one thing that the people in the crowd did not know..

The odds of winning are less than you think.

This is because the corps commander is completely looking down on them..

Perhaps this battle will also be viewed as entertainment, leading the situation to develop into something more brutal..

Maybe it will give you one or two chances to take your life. Because it is the nature of devils to trample on false hopes..

Moreover, the fact that that guy is Kingarodtooth's minion added strength to Verita's argument..

If I didn't have the temperament to enjoy fighting, I would have followed another demon lord instead of the golden horn in the first place..

…Of course, such an opportunity would be narrower than a rat's hole and fainter than a thread..

Give yourself a chance to notice, and you might even laugh in satisfaction, thinking it was a fairly even battle..

‘disgustingly.’

Berita laughed..

There were dozens of heroes in the raid, but of course the one who reached the corps commander the fastest was Verita..

Seen up close, the corps commander's stature was as tall as that of most giants..

At the minimum, it seemed to be 4 meters tall, but the strange atmosphere combined made it look bigger than it actually was..

Berita was not intimidated.

A pure white brilliance lingered on the mace in my hand, and it transformed into an image wielded by a god himself..

The shape hasn't changed at all..

Just like swordsmen overlay their blades with mana, they are simply surrounded by divine power..

[…….]

The corps commander's gaze landed on Berita..

Verita may have felt like she was alone because she had flaming features, but I got the feeling that our eyes had met anyway..

Wow!-!

Immediately afterwards, the corps commander's face grew bigger..

At least that's what Verita felt when she met him..

The burning flames suddenly grew in size like a catastrophe, and burned so fiercely that it seemed as if it would set Verita's whole body on fire..

But Verita's keen senses quickly realized that all of this was a lie..

‘hallucination.’

It was a hallucination that was close to reality, but it was still a hallucination..

The pain was no different from reality, but in other words, the physical functions were fine..

If there are no problems with limb function, pain cannot be an obstacle to Verita.

Perhaps realizing that fact, the corps commander changed his momentum again..

Puhwaaaak-!

A musical instrument exploded beneath the hem of an old, shabby dress..

The miasma, which was infinitely close to a musical instrument, melted the surrounding corpses and even changed the color of snow and ice..

The instrument is so thick that most of the heroes who come quite close to it turn away in awe..

“…….”

At that point, Verita actually smiled. Eventually, even though the poison touched his entire body, his movements did not stop..

Kwasik!

The mace struck the head of the corps commander..

The corps commander's body collapsed in an instant, but it was not the sensation that Verita expected..

It feels like I hit an empty scarecrow..

“Kaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”

At that moment, something popped out from beneath the ground. It was a regenerating corpse..

All my hair was gone, my teeth were chattering, and I only had one eyeball, but I was used to it..

Priest Elan.

“Kill me! Kill me!”

“You are very persistent. Perhaps the god you serve was the devil of cockroaches??”

“Kill me……!”

This resurrection cannot be called revival in the true sense of the word..

It is a form of forcibly attaching a soul to a rotting corpse and forcibly injecting commands regardless of whether the body creaks or not.…….

Of course it's not without a price..

The more you repeat it, the more your soul wears away..

Elan seemed to be half out of his mind, rushing towards him with his eyes rolling over, and Verita crushed his face again with the mace..

Up to that point, it was as expected..

A voice was heard beyond the mace..

“You too... Let's go together ah……!”

Immediately after, dozens of tattered arms stretched out from the ground and grabbed Verita's entire body..

“nun razbet!”

Araksad, who was the closest, shouted urgently..

Dozens of hands were trying to drag Verita below the ground..

Is this the corps commander's strategy?.

Berita's body, bound by the dead man's hands, was slowly sucked into the ground. It's like sinking beneath a swamp..

Then I made eye contact with the white-scaled Lizardman, who was looking at me with bewildered eyes..

“I'll be back soon.”

Berita smiled in reassurance and extended the thumb of her sinking right hand for the last time..

fault.

Eventually, Verita landed below the ground and looked around..

It's a terrible place.

Rotten flesh and blood, bad smells, and even the terrible poison emanating from corpses... … . Plus, it was colder than up there, so it reminded me of hell overall..

Verita’s sentiment was simple..

I was wondering where to get the body, and it was here..

“You too... It's dead now... Heretic Questioner…….”

“and.”

Verita was surprised by Elan's voice..

Was the quality of the soul surprisingly excellent??

It's truly surprising that even after being revived so many times, he still maintains his senses.

Ttuk, ttuk.

Meanwhile, Elan, who had finished playing, adjusted the missing jaw joint and then looked at Verita..

And he chanted a spell in a mumbling voice..

Click…….

Then the dead people around them stood up and trembled..

There are skeletons and ghouls. There didn't seem to be any high-level undead, but the number seemed to be in the hundreds at least..

“I wonder why I still haven't given up hope... … . Do you really think you can survive here? That would be nice too. The more you and your companions struggle, the more satisfied He will be... … . Maybe you can fully resurrect me…….”

Berita said without breaking the priest's false hopes..

“Well, by the way, I want to ask you something..”

Elan glared for a moment at the woman who was smiling brightly even in this situation..

I'm sick of knowing that most of the Heretic Questioners are insane, but this woman's reaction was unique among them all..

“…What?”

“Haven't you seen the platinum-haired hero? He must have been with the goblin..”

“under. Is this the kid who so cruelly interrupted the ceremony?.”

Elan’s mouth twisted coldly..

“The plan went awry because of that brat. But he already paid the price. Both of them were sucked through the [Colossus' stomach]. You won't even find their bodies..”

Verita smiled brightly at those words and said.

“gibberish.”

“Is it nonsense?…….”

“gibberish.”

Berita interrupted again..

“gibberish. gibberish. gibberish. gibberish.”

“…….”

Now even Elan has closed his mouth..

I realized that the other person's mental head was not normal..

“Everything you say is nonsense. There's no way he could have died in the stomach of a titan..”

“Whether you believe it or not is your freedom. If you wish so much, we can meet again in the afterlife..”

“aha. I understood well!”

Berita smiled and continued speaking..

“I met a variety of people while doing this job, and sometimes there were people who didn't need a tongue..”

“what?”

“At times like that, I helped ease their burden. At least for the rest of your life, you won't be the source of any more misfortune for them..”

Verita raised her mace..

“It seems to me that you are the same type..”
