I Became God of War's Youngest Disciple - Episode 309

309fury

“Wouldn't this be enough?.”

One day, while eating dinner, Araksad suddenly said,.

I, who was just chewing the meat, swallowed it in my throat and then spoke..

“Really? I always say this, but seniors are too talkative considering their size.…….”

“…It's not about food, it's about patrolling the surrounding area..”

“huh?”

“The area near Snowville Village is now safe..”

I tilted my head as I stabbed the steak with a fork..

“is it? You saw a bear just yesterday. It was so big that it was no joke, and it could easily kill most monsters..”

“okay. However, that bear originally lived in the north. If we eliminate all those that pose a threat to humans, the northern ecosystem may be ruined. It's a place with very few creatures, so you have to be careful..”

It's not wrong..

For nearly two weeks, Araksad and I wandered around the area all the time, killing everything that looked dangerous, including monsters and beasts..

Of course, killing an animal that wasn't meant to be eaten wasn't comfortable for me or Araksad, but since they were already used to playing musical instruments, there was nothing we could do..

Unlike humans, who have minimal anti-magic power, once animals without intelligence are contaminated by musical instruments, even a first-class priest cannot purify them..

Lanferro also nodded and said, as if he agreed with Araksad's opinion..

“okay. That's enough. They both had a hard time, and Luan quickly went to the Frostwolf tribe and brought Sister Mir and Rasbet with them. While I was there, I wanted to ask about the progress of the frost giant's side..”

“It's me?”

“Then I will go?”

At those words, I looked around at our Corrupted clan members one by one..

Rukuruku didn't even pretend to see me, and Slime Senior looked at me innocently and waved his body. okay. Those two won't work out.

I looked at Araksad one last time, but even the senior Lizardman, who was always dependable, slightly averted his gaze and muttered..

“I need to resupply weapons, so I have to leave for a moment. It's something that can't be put off any longer.”

“hmm.”

These errands are the youngest's job..

Actually, I have no complaints about going..

Rather, I had something to share with Mirna Verita, so I thought I would go even if I wasn't told to do so..

“All right. I'll come back quickly.”

The weather has cleared up a lot, so it won't take long to come and go..

These days, every time I look at the sky, it's clear and bright, and it feels like a lie that the snow was blowing like crazy two weeks ago..

It's probably the time when the nobles in the islands are enjoying a picnic..

‘Come to think of it, it’s almost April now?.’

It's already been a month since I left the system.

I think I'm pretty used to this cold region now... … . I spoke to Lanfero.

“boss.”

“huh?”

“I have something serious to tell you when you return this time..”

“What? tell me now.”

“For now.”

I have decided to discuss the matter of the Utgarde camp with Lanfero..

Because the source of the information was unclear, I had no intention of sharing it even with someone I trusted.…….

Corrupted is a trustworthy organization, and so is its leader, Lanfero. Honestly, I trust Corrupted a lot more than Badknicker right now..

If my predictions are correct, the disaster in Utgard is at least the same as the Ymir incident, and maybe even better..

Me, Seren, who will be here soon, and Evan, who is either approaching the church in his own way or becoming stronger... This means that it is almost impossible to deal with it with just these three people..

“hmm… okay. By the way, if you stop by Frostwolf Village, you can buy some mead.?”

“What honey wine?”

“Are you sure you don't know? The giant's mead is said to be one of the northern specialties..”

“…When I can afford it.”

“Oh yea.”

I don't really plan on going by carriage, so I don't know if I'll have any free hands..

If it's a giant's brewery, it must be huge, but I also wonder if there's something like an oak barrel the size of a human..

Araksad, who was watching the situation at that time, also said to me:.

“If possible, I would also like a hatchet. The weapons made by giant blacksmiths are famous for their high quality..”

“It's not a good idea to go to a bar together.?”

Araksad pretended not to hear and put food in his mouth..

Now that it was like this, I asked the rest of the clan members as well..

“Do you need anything??”

“There is nothing in particular.”

Rukuruku responded in a cold tone that seemed cold at first glance, but…….

Now I know that there was no malice in that attitude. I'm not sure, but it seems like he has a surprisingly shy personality..

“Slime senior too?”

Kyuuuu…….

As if it was the same, Sharmat nodded and nodded..

***

Ramon once said that it would take him five days to get from Snowville to Frostwolf Village no matter how fast he rushed..

Even considering that the northern land mass is abnormally large, it meant that it was quite a distance away.…….

I glanced down at the unfolded map..

Thanks to staying in the north for quite a while, I can now guess the approximate distance just by looking at the map..

“Should you try to cover it in two days, or one day at the earliest?.”

It's not that I don't believe Ramon..

However, since the weather was nice, I planned to use light attack without any hesitation during this move. I plan on doing martial arts training as well..

Actually, if you think about it, there was nothing that I could definitely call a light attack..

Even though Noecheonbo is a martial art that is close to light attack, as you can tell from the name, it is a foot technique..

Since it seems like there will be more cases of running like this in the future, I thought I'd like to invent something like this..

Of course, the creation of martial arts is not an easy task.…….

On the contrary, it doesn't suit my temperament to be serious like a general who creates some kind of great martial art..

I believe that in order to create, it is important to maintain a somewhat relaxed state of mind..

‘furthermore…….’

I don't plan on making it from zero base. I thought as I contemplated the internal energy boiling over in the dantian..

Let's refine the salt-and-pepper dash..

Of course, Flame Dash is not a light attack, but rather, it is a martial art close to divine law..

It was an attack aircraft originally created to run along the back of a giant snake and inflict a little more damage..

So, if we succeed in eliminating the excessive aggression of this martial art and refining it into a form only for fast running, wouldn't a light attack that is reasonably usable be created??

Of course, it may not be true, but somehow I was a little excited to think about improving my martial arts skills for the first time in a long time..

“I'm leaving now?”

Just before leaving like that…….

I suddenly turned around at the sound of a sonorous voice..

I saw Rukuruku.

“Uh, I'm going to do that..”

I was quite embarrassed because I didn't expect it to appear at such a moment..

I decided to leave early in the morning, when even honest people would be in bed..

Rukuruku nodded slightly at my words, and we stood in silence for a moment..

2During the week, we bumped into each other at the mansion, and although I started calling her by the title ‘sister’,…….

This dragon senior was still a difficult and uncomfortable person for me..

It's not a problem with my sociability, it's just that I felt like this person was strangely avoiding me..

I quietly looked at Rukuruku and said.

“…As expected, you had an errand to run.-.”

“No, I just wanted to say thank you..”

“Suddenly?”

“okay. Somehow, I feel like if we break up this time, I won't be able to see you for quite a while..”

“I plan to go to town and come back right away..”

“The world doesn't work out the way you want it to. what… It's just my feeling, so it's okay to ignore it.”

“…….”

It's not like anyone else's, but it feels a bit uncomfortable to say that it's the feeling of the dragon race..

Rather, I think this is my first time seeing Rukuruku talk so much..

“But what am I thankful for??”

“Since you came, the clan's life has improved a lot..”

Ah, that.

With the power of the Xyren Knife, I signed an independent contract between Corrupted and the Company..

It was a contract concluded through a fairly advantageous treaty, so it must have felt like a breath of relief for Corrupted, which was suffering from financial difficulties..

“Lanfero seems to be acting like a clan leader now, and the same goes for Araksad. To be honest, it's been a while since this many people stayed in the clan for a long time. It feels like we finally have a clan-like lineup. I think it's thanks to you.”

“…….”

If you do this so openly, even a shameless guy like me will feel embarrassed..

It's hard to say that I don't have any influence, but it's not necessarily because of that..

“It's probably more thanks to Ramon than me..”

“okay. That guy must have been an opportunity too... … . I understood when I let you go. Without Ramon, our clan would have disintegrated a long time ago..”

Rukuruku muttered bitterly..

I knew that now she handles various affairs of the guild instead of Ramon..

Even though I knew it was a bit rude, I asked a question..

“You seem to be quite a sincere person, but why have you been absent from the clan??”

“I was clinging to a glimmer of hope. Even though I knew it was slim, I couldn't help but be tied down. But I'm going to stop now. I'm tired.”

“yes?”

“…….”

When I looked closely, Rukuruku smiled and said,.

“Let's talk about this next time. Be careful and come back.”

Rukuruku left after saying those words..

I watched the back of that mysterious woman for a moment, but I didn't grab her or ask her any questions..

It would be a lie if I said I wasn't curious, but it wasn't like I wasn't going to tell you..

And I immediately left Snowville..

No need to worry about getting lost.

The destination can be reached naturally by following the ice lake..

I felt a kind of liberation after being alone for the first time in a very long time..

It's not a bad thing to live with others, but I thought that people need to spend time alone like this sometimes..

Because it is when you are alone that you can think most deeply about yourself..

Since there is no real threat in the current northern part of the country, I used my strength to my heart's content..

Of course, we have to prepare for just one situation, so we leave about half of it aside..

In fact, in the current state, about half of the internal strength was equivalent to the total amount from a month ago..

Regardless, the lava absorbed inside Ymir's body was of great help..

‘By the way, why was there lava on the giant’s body??’

I thought I was dreaming, but judging by the heat I felt and the energy condensed in my body, I didn't think so..

As I consumed several expensive elixirs, my stamina greatly increased, but even if I had performed the attack on ordinary lava, it would have been difficult to reap this much..

Anyhow, I ran thinking about this and that..

One day I just ran mechanically..

This is done simply by using internal energy and supporting endurance, quickness, and muscle elasticity..

one-dimensional way.

There are no particular drawbacks, but you can't call this a light attack..

‘motif…….’

There is a motif in all martial arts..

It could be a person, an animal, nature, or a mere insect..

I heard that most martial arts skills are inspired by the majesty of nature, and that is understandable..

Although you may gain enlightenment from watching a crawling ant, it is difficult to truly admire it..

In the end, people are amazed and overwhelmed when they face the vast nature..

The basis of my martial arts is mostly chloride.

So, fast forward... In other words, I thought that this martial art inspired by flames was not very suitable for use as a light attack..

That's the image of a flame I think of..

A tangled flame, a brutality that cannot exist without burning, a momentary explosion.…….

Last is important.

a momentary explosion.

In the end, to me, fireworks were a very fleeting image..

This means that it is difficult in many ways to relate it to long-term running, that is, long-term running, where sustainability is important..

But the appearance of the flame is not the same.

Depending on the scale and situation, it may become a terror that devours everything.…….

On the other hand, a ray of fire can be a source of hope for someone wandering in a blizzard..

So what does the flame that can be my inspiration look like now?.

“…….”

I quietly looked up at the sky.

To me, the true source of life is not the earth or the sea..

sun 太陽.

I remembered it even a thousand years ago.

A source of positive energy that will probably remain in the air even after a thousand years..

That gigantic star that never goes out and burns forever will probably continue to burn even after the destruction of this continent..

Such holding power has already surpassed the concept of yang energy..

‘I got scolded.’

I ended up laughing heartily..

One of my chronic illnesses has kicked in..

Before I even thought about framing the martial arts, creating a structure, or using true energy, I thought of martial arts..

Cheoncheonilro (天千日路).

I ran next to the ice lake, remembering the name of Gyeonggong who would become mine..

***

three days later.

I finally arrived at Frostwolf Village..

It took longer than originally expected, but if I had hurried, I could have arrived much faster..

To make an excuse, it's because I repeated trial and error to refine my still clumsy technique..

It took some time, but thanks to this, I was able to raise Cheoncheonilro to a level that could be used in actual combat..

I think if I cool my head for a moment and refine it once more when I go back, I'll be able to get a rough outline..

Anyway, we finally reached Frostwolf Village, Mir's hometown..

I heard that this place, the home of the giants, was not a very large village, but when I actually saw it, it didn't feel that way..

In fact, I felt something strange from the moment I started to see the village from a distance..

I thought it was close enough to be seen with the naked eye, but it wasn't..

The wooden fence was as big as a small castle wall to the human eye..

Each of the simple buildings was the size of a mansion..

Come to think of it, it was my first time coming to a village where giants live..

To be more precise, this is my first time in a village where seven different races live..

“Hey… It's big. It's big. It's really big.”

I looked around with wide eyes. Even though I've been through some system, I feel like I've become a hillbilly for the first time in a long time..

When I came to a big town, I felt like an ant..

6~7Giants that could have been as tall as a meter came and went through the village making thumping noises, but they didn't look particularly puzzled when they saw me, a human..

At first, other races were occasionally seen in the village..

It's probably because Heros, the imperial family, or other forces are staying there because of the frost giant's affairs..

By the way, where is Mir?.

“Huh? Luan!”

I heard a voice whispering, wondering if I could be a nobleman..

It was a Mir Giant whose voice was no different from that of a giant..

“Long time no see. how have you been doing?”

“Ruaan-!”

Mir came running at me with the momentum to almost hit me..

I somehow felt like my dog ​​was welcoming the family he hadn't seen in a long time..

There's no such thing as a dog in Badknicker.

Fortunately, Mir stopped right before he hit me..

“Nothing much happened?”

“Of course! How are your seniors doing? I was already planning to go back once it's finished this week.…….”

“I did?”

“Yes! The internal cleanup of Ymir has been completed, and all that remains is the purification of the instrument..”

“Purify the instrument... … . Well, Sister Razvet must still be busy..”

“It seemed like that. Do you have something to say to the nun??”

“That's right, but it's not that urgent..”

“okay? Then how about we go see my father first??”

“father?”

“huh! He said he really wanted to see Luan! And first of all, he is the chief of our tribe..”

Because he is a chieftain…….

In that case, it would be polite to meet this person before Verita..

I nodded and followed Mir, quickly arriving at an unusually large house..

The difference from other houses was that there was another small door next to the large door..

So, it is large enough for people to come and go..

I think it was probably a door for Mir, but I got the feeling that it also looked like a door for dogs..

“father! I'm here! I also met Luan and brought him with me.!”

“hmm……?”

A giant with wide eyes looked down at me, wiping his beard..

I thought it was a face I saw at first glance when I was fighting the corps commander, but I started by saying hello..

“hello. My name is Luan Badniker..”

“oh… You are Luan, the Gold Fairy. Your past performance was impressive..”

“Ah, yes.”

“I am the Dorman Giant of the Frostwolf Clan. It seemed like my daughter was indebted to me in many ways..”

Since he was Mir's father, I thought he would be a bit more energetic, but surprisingly, his attitude and tone of voice were gentle..

I was a little embarrassed but lowered my head..

“you're welcome.”

“okay… … . This came at such an incredible timing that it couldn't be a coincidence. Is this also the guidance of our ancestors?…….”

“……?”

What does it mean??

Dorman, who was looking at me strangely, looked at Mir and said.

“Mir, I have something to talk about with this friend..”

“hmm? i get it.”

Mir nodded even though he felt a bit of doubt about Dorman's words..

“Well then, Luan, I'll be at Hero's temporary shelter north of town, so come there when we're done talking..”

“okay. See you later.”

“huh.”

Mir left, and I saw Dorman quietly..

What on earth is there to talk about??

Of course, this giant was almost a stranger to me, so there was nothing to point out..

The moment I quietly looked at his face, the tribal chief stood up, seemed to be walking towards me, and spoke briefly..

“wait a little bit.”

“yes?”

And Dorman also left the house..

what?

I was suddenly left alone and stood there in a daze..

An unprecedented situation occurred where the homeowner and his child left the house while leaving it to a guest..

I was embarrassed but waited there for a moment..

After about 10 minutes,…….

The door opened and a man appeared..

“ok……?”

I blinked my eyes.

A person I never thought I would meet in a place like this was standing there..

“Long time no see, Sogaju..”

“kian?”

This is Kayan Gordan, Badniker's collector..

Even though I was a little surprised, I felt happy..

Actually, it hasn't been that long since we broke up, but with all the different things we've been through, it felt like we were reunited after a few years..

“long time no see. I never thought I would see the scriptures here... … . What's going on up north??”

“I came to see Lord Soga..”

“me? what's the matter?”

“I am offended, but Lord Soga must return to his home immediately..”

Keian used a forceful tone for the first time in a long time. Just like when they first came to collect the tendons in my arm after my regression..

But attitudes were very different back then..

Only then did I realize that Kean was uncharacteristically disheveled..

“Just calm down first. Why are you going all the way to your hometown? What's going on?”

Why on earth was the man called the Iron Blood Collector so embarrassed??

I wanted to offer her a glass of water, but I had no idea where in this huge house there would be a water kettle..

Even if I find it, I don't know if I can follow it with my body..

I was thinking such nonsense, but Kayan’s next words brought me to my senses..

“The head of the family is currently in critical condition..”

“what?”

“It might still be too early to say…….”

Keian said in a low voice..

“…Lord Soga, prepare your heart..”
