I Became God of War's Youngest Disciple - Episode 311
311fury
From then on, I continued to follow Verita until the time came, but ultimately failed to meet her face to face..
I fully expected it.
From the beginning, Verita is a more expert than me and her senses are much sharper..
It is possible to determine my location in real time with its golden eyes, so if he decides to run away, it will be impossible for me to catch up..
It's like a game of tag that you can't win.
In the end, I returned to the cemetery and thought as I watched the sun setting..
What reason does Verita have for avoiding me??
I tried to think back to the last time I saw him, but nothing really caught my eye..
At that time, Verita, who was fighting a bloody battle underground, lost a lot of blood and was unable to use her divine power.…….
As a result, I went alone to the place where Ymir's heart was and fought there..
Feeling a sense of shame or guilt that things happened that way.
“hmm…….”
This is quite plausible, but somehow it doesn't seem to be the right answer..
“oh! You are here!”
At that time, Annie appeared once again..
The difference from before is that he is holding a nice-looking shield in his hand.?
Annie looked at me with a flushed face for some reason, and suddenly held out her shield..
“excuse me… … ! If you don't mind, could you please sign here??”
“sign?”
“yes!”
“…….”
I looked at Annie with slightly bewildered eyes..
I thought he was making fun of me, but seeing his eyes sparkle as if they contained starlight, I didn't think so..
“It doesn't matter, but I don't have any writing instruments or anything..”
“Ahhh…….”
Annie looked like her world had collapsed at my words. I was staring at that face and suddenly thought of a joke..
“I can carve it with a knife?”
“omg! That way!”
“…….”
“here! Please take care of me.!”
It was a half-joking remark, but Annie actually asked, even holding out the dagger from her waist..
Words are signatures. If you carve them with a knife, they'll be no better than scratches, but you don't even care about that..
I'm not kidding, do you really admire me?.
I received the dagger feeling more uncomfortable than happy..
“What should I engrave on you??”
“Gold Fairy Luan Badniker to Dear Anion!”
“Let’s leave out the gold fairy. By the way, Anion was your real name.?”
“yes Annie is a nickname! You can call Gold Fairy Annie.!”
“Next time we meet.”
I nodded and moved the dagger..
That play…….
Because excessive force may cause cracks, I carefully engraved the text as if embossing it with a dagger..
“Oh oh…….”
Annie, who was watching with bright eyes, was overjoyed when the work was completed..
“Haha! thank you! I have to brag to my friends!”
“The handwriting was bad?”
“It's a bit bad writing.!”
“…….”
“It's okay though! It seems like there is more to this than the correct writing at all.!”
He was an honest guy in many ways..
At that time, Annie, who was jumping around in joy, gasped in surprise and said to me:.
“really! Now that I think about it, I met Sister Lazbeth earlier and she asked me to give this to her.!”
“uh?”
I looked for something and it turned out to be a letter..
“Well then, since I delivered the letter, I’ll leave now! have a good day!”
“okay. You go in carefully too..”
“yep!”
Annie cried noisily, just as she had appeared, and left, running across the snowy field..
Thinking that he was not suitable for the grave, I looked at the letter I received from Annie..
I don't know why they even bothered putting a seal on it..
I roughly opened the letter and read what was inside..
[sorry.]
It was over.
I checked the back of the letter, scrutinized my eyes to see what was engraved in small letters, and looked through the letter to see if there was some device I didn't know about.…….
I turned on my phone to the end and checked the letter again, but I didn't find anything strange..
“What is this again?…….”
I looked around with a puzzled face,…….
The sun had just set and the cemetery was immersed in darkness, and of course I was the only one there..
***
“Have you finished your business??”
“roughly.”
The rough handover has been completed..
Although I was a little concerned that that person was Mir..
The Mir Giant has now become a reliable comrade who can have your back in battle, but he was not someone you can trust in office work..
Is this why I tried to find Verita?.
“Then come closer, master. Have you ever used spatial scrolling??”
“It's my first time. Are there any precautions??”
“There are a few. First of all, do not force your body. You may feel like you are falling from the sky or falling into the water, but this is simply an illusion of your brain. Also, it is better to stop breathing, and if you do breathe, only through your nose. You must never open your mouth.”
“okay.”
I nodded and walked towards Keian.…….
“…Then we will leave.”
Keian tore the scroll he took out from his pocket..
Boouk.
The moment the scroll was torn, a bright light covered all directions..
And a strange sensation that I had experienced several times in my life permeated my whole body..
The body may seem to float and then sink, or it may feel like swimming in the sea, then fall and float again.…….
‘oh my. It's the head.’
I've experienced spatial movement a few times, but this time, maybe it's because the distance was quite far. Or is this really what scrolling is like?.
I felt more nauseous and dizzy than I had ever experienced in the past..
By the time I felt nauseous, the world had calmed down..
“Fuhuu…….”
I exhaled like someone who had been underwater for a long time. Only then did I realize that I had been holding my breath for quite some time..
“hmm.”
Keian was still standing upright, but the wrinkles between his eyebrows were much deeper than usual. It means you're frowning.
“Where are we??”
“This is one of Badknicker’s indoor training halls..”
“okay? It's too quiet for a fogger..”
“This is probably because it was set to the coordinates of the space movement magic. We've been warned in advance, so no one will step in..”
“no. I'm here?”
Of course it wasn't me who immediately denied Keian's words..
We looked back in shock, and there was a familiar-looking but not particularly welcoming man sitting there..
Assad the Hermit.
One of the Seven Great Wizards of the Empire, a man with a significant share of the Badniker family's reputation..
He is Sanghyeolgong's right-hand man and advisor, and in private he is a long-time friend..
“…Asad.”
Keian, who was a little surprised, quickly got his emotions together and asked:.
“Didn't Mr. Assad tell me that if you are in a place where space movement occurs, people can overlap and cause a serious accident??”
“Those are people who are ignorant of magic. It doesn't matter, because if you're at my level, you can recognize the omens of magic and guess where it's going..”
Assad's voice was tired as he responded..
The turquoise hair that hung down like seaweed looked darker than usual, and there was a gloomy look on his face..
It wasn't always a bright impression, but today it feels especially dark..
While Kayan closed his mouth as if he had nothing to say in response, Assad's eyes turned to me..
“By the way, it’s been a while, Luan Badniker. Has it been a year and a half??”
“That's almost it..”
“okay. You became a very famous person in that tiny amount of time.?”
“…….”
It's dust…….
By my standards, half a year is not a short time at all..
For Assad, who lived at least hundreds of years, it must have been slightly longer than a moment..
“Not to mention Badniker, the Academy also thwarted the devil's plot. He seemed to be living a bit quietly in Heros, but in the north, he faced the commander of a demonic army again... … . This is the first time in a long time that I have seen someone so deeply entangled with the church. Even the old Delak wasn't as good as you. Does it have dangerous pheromones that attract devils??”
“…Those scary words.”
I got goosebumps a little while listening to the story..
I didn't know that Badniker knew my whereabouts in such detail..
But when I thought about it again, I thought it was strange that I was involved in major incidents wherever I went and didn't know anything about it..
“what were you doing here?”
“I was waiting because I thought it would come soon. Let's talk. So that's it, Kayan? Please make room for me. I'll explain the situation to this guy..”
“All right.”
Keian looked at me, bowed his head, and left the training hall..
Assad said.
“How much did you hear??”
“The head of the family is in serious condition..”
“What did you think when you heard that??”
“…Well, honestly, it was hard to believe..”
In fact, it still is..
Thinking about the aspects that Iron Blood Ball had shown so far, I couldn't easily believe the news that he was on the brink of death..
“is it. I had similar thoughts... Unfortunately, the news is true. Delac is very dangerous right now..”
“How on earth did that happen??”
“I went to Yeongsan.”
“……!”
The moment I heard those words, I couldn't help but be shocked..
“This was Delak's mission. I've heard it before?”
“ah.”
I suddenly remembered the story Sanghyeolgong told me in the drafting..
- When we enter Heros, we can go on a mission together..
- I have a mission regarding Yeongsan..
- It was a mission registered on the [Heros Bulletin Board] about 100 years ago, but no one has ever completed it..
“…Did you really go to Yeongsan alone??”
“okay.”
“Isn't it too dangerous??”
“You're talking stupid. I think some of Delac's previous missions weren't dangerous.?”
“…….”
“Youngsan’s instruments are of a terrible standard. So much so that even a first-class hero with resistance to musical instruments would find it difficult to last for several hours. Even if they have such qualifications, there are few talents who can match Delac's tempo. He should be at least an S-class hero, but everyone at that level is busy with their own things..”
i closed my mouth.
Then he turned to Assad and asked more directly this time:.
“…So, did you call me to at least watch the matriarch die??”
“It's similar, but there's one more reason I called you. Before I talk about that, I should first tell you what the situation is in Delac right now. He headed to Yeongsan alone, and probably engaged in combat with the Colorless Demon King there..”
This is a development that was vaguely expected ever since the word Yeongsan was mentioned..
When I actually heard it, it sent a chill down my spine..
Metabolic type and iron blood ball.
The two people who left the biggest mark on my life, and at the same time, the two masters whom I consider stronger than anyone else..
The words that they fought couldn't have sounded this unfamiliar..
“…Are you sure? Couldn't he have fought something other than the Demon King?.”
“well. I don't think Delak would have been like that to a demon other than the Demon Lord. You probably know about the strength of the Iron Blood Ball..”
“…….”
At that moment, what suddenly passed through my mind were the words of the ambassador..
Just before entering the stone gate, when I used divine protection to communicate with the executioners, the executioner suddenly broke in..
The conversation we had back then.
And just before leaving, a brief Q&A with the Ambassador..
- You will become stronger in the future?
- …yes. It will happen.
- okay. But, I wish you would stop getting stronger.
- sorry.
I thought it was an unexpected apology given the context, but could it have been because of this??
Then why is Verita avoiding me... … . I stopped thinking there..
As confusing as the situation is, considering things that are not yet clear only makes my head hurt even more..
I said the first question that immediately came to mind..
“How was it possible for you to return to your family when you were so seriously injured??”
“Delak also has a scroll. It's similar to the one you used when you returned home, but it's much better quality. Just before losing consciousness, he must have used his last strength to tear it apart..”
“ah.”
“It's still bad now, but at the time Delac was really close to death..”
“What exactly is your condition??”
“There were fractures and bruises all over the body. What should I say… It was a miserable sight, as if my whole body had been hit by a very large wooden club..”
…Is it a large-scale forest greening project?.
Since I have the Onmyangdo, I probably used the Wooden Blade and the Wooden Blade..
“Somehow the bones were connected and all the external wounds were healed. However, the problem was that my body’s immunity was weakened in a place like Yeongsan. It was a short period of time, but during that time, the instrument penetrated into the entire body. Even in the most important institutions.”
“Is it heart?”
“okay.”
Assad nodded..
“Currently, Delak's heart is only beating about 1 to 2 times per minute. If he were an ordinary person, he would have died long ago, but with his strong vitality, he is barely alive... … . But that won't last long either.”
Assad said.
“There is only one way to save Delak. Completely eliminating the instrument that has penetrated deep into the heart. Honestly, even if you succeed, there is a 50/50 chance of surviving, but there is no other way. And out of all the people I know, there is only one person capable of that level of skill..”
“Who are you??”
“A master of black magic and necromancy. A person familiar with the powers of the Dark Church, including primitive magic, curses, and demonic contracts. A mage of the Black Sky with knowledge of magic comparable to that of the Archmage of the Seven Colors..”
I swallowed my sleep and muttered the person's name..
“…Lycerradigos.”
