I Became God of War's Youngest Disciple - Episode 329
329fury
I stopped using Cheoncheonil Road from the moment the village was visually confirmed, and slowly approached my destination at a somewhat reduced speed..
And instead of entering the village straight away, I gathered my thoughts while leaning against a huge tree covered in snow..
‘What was Keian doing at this time??’
Based on what I heard before returning, there is a high probability that he is wandering somewhere in the north..
If you find the Iron Blood Collector first, unlike last time, you will be able to go home about three days sooner.…….
I didn't mean to do that..
It's a subjective judgment, but I don't think it's the best idea..
Anyway, all the brothers are already gathered at the main house, and most of the elders, including Assad, are present, so it is difficult to move freely..
Of course, the more decisive reason is that Keian's location is currently unknown..
Finding Keian in this needlessly wide snow field would literally be like looking for a needle in a sandy beach..
In the end, the fastest way to get home is to stay quietly and wait for Keian to come from Frostwolf Village..
“okay.”
Let's return to our hometown at the same time, three days later..
Now, we need to focus on our original goal: finding Verita.-.
Although I have raised my level through over 100 days of training, I am still not confident that I can defeat or overpower that guy..
However, I have confidence that I will not be easily defeated..
Above all, the decisive reason why Verita became less annoying was Amcheonwolhyanggeuk, and thanks to this mental method, I was able to respond even to the worst situations..
What's the worst that can happen??
I am exposing my identity by telling Verita to become whatever she wants to be. Luan Badniker is a priest..
Now we can dismiss that revelation as bullshit..
Even if you are caught by the 72nd school and have your whole body thoroughly searched, you can easily hide the instrument..
‘Is it okay to be certain of this??’
I am confident that I can deceive even the most expert's eyes, but if the opponent is a Bishop-level magician from the 72nd Church or an archmage like Assad, it may be a bit difficult..
but…….
Somehow, I didn't think that Verita would reveal my identity even if she was pushed to the worst possible situation..
Of course, I didn't come to trust that guy because of what happened in the snow field..
It's just that Verita is currently avoiding me..
Right now, I think the reason is because of the fight between the Great Master and the Sanghyeolgong, and the result.…….
Actually, the reason doesn't really matter..
What I noticed was that the fanatic, without blood or tears, and without knowing what he was thinking, avoided people..
Avoiding it means that you are reluctant to face it, and being reluctant to face it means that you noticed my feelings..
If so, wouldn't Verita have finally awakened to the feeling of shame??
That's enough for now.
My theory is that it's okay to communicate with someone you think is embarrassing..
After thinking about it, I turned away from the tree and took a walk around Frostwolf Village..
The giant's residence was a paradoxical village that was 'small but big'.
In terms of scale, it is about the size of a village, but because it is a place where giants live, the few buildings are enormous..
It's fortunate for me.
As the building is large, there are few places to hide, so it didn't take much time to look around.
A conclusion was reached immediately.
‘There's no one in town.’
For your information, the reason I did not inquire about it through Mir or other people after entering the village was because I felt that if I revealed my presence so openly, Verita might disappear outright..
It would be possible for me to run away from Verita's spirit, but…….
On the other hand, it will be impossible to find Verita who has deliberately hidden herself, so we will try to move as secretly as possible..
Of course, I have no intention of continuing to search alone..
Fortunately, I know someone who knows his whereabouts and is somewhat trustworthy..
The place we arrived at shortly was a winter hill with a slight ridge, and there was even a wall built there..
I see a young hero dozing off, leaning against the entrance..
Still, he must have been completely distracted, so when I sneakily show him, his eyes widen..
“Who is it?!”
The guy confidently shouts and raises his weapon... … . Maybe her name was Annie??
Anyway, I kindly introduced myself..
“Luan.”
“That, the gold fairy?!”
As I listen to it, I feel like I'm slowly getting used to that horrible tinnitus..
After sighing softly, I explained the situation to Annie and then asked Verita's current location..
Annie, who had been nodding her head obediently, responded obediently..
“ah! Sister Razvet was away for a moment today. She said she had urgent business to run.?”
“urgent business?”
“I'm not sure what it is.”
“Then I know where it went?”
I asked without much expectation, but Annie answered..
“yes! I saw you heading towards Ymir's remains! I'm sure of this!”
“harmfulness?”
“I think it's probably to remove the instrument and clean up the church, but I don't know the details. Currently, the area near Ymir’s remains is managed by Church 72. So even heroes can't approach unless they get permission..”
“I see. It was helpful.”
“Wow, if you want, please sign my name.……!”
I struck Annie's shield with a dagger like before and asked her not to talk about me if she ever meets Verita..
“I will absolutely follow it.!”
Annie responded with a happy face, and I headed to Ymir’s remains..
Contrary to what it seemed, the place was far away, but now I am the god of light… It's not that great, but it's at least as good as the King of Light..
If you run at full speed, you'll get there quickly..
‘…If you run at full speed, that is..’
Unfortunately, unless I know where Verita is, I plan to refrain from using my skills as much as possible..
I ran through the white snow field using only my physical strength, and because of that, I ended up wasting quite a bit of time to reach my destination..
When we finally reached Ymir's feet, the sun was setting..
“…….”
I saw with new eyes the largest invoice in the world.
When I remember how I was once rolling around like a dog in this body, I had no choice but to do that..
The frozen giant's body would have endured countless years, with snowflakes accumulating little by little each year.…….
The accumulated snowflakes would have been tempered by the bitter cold and cold wind..
Is it because of that??
When seen up close, Ymir looked more like a huge ice statue than a remains..
In other words, the surface was close to ice, which created a scene where the entire body seemed to be on fire the moment it absorbed the light of the setting sunset..
It's not really a frost giant, it's a salt giant. It looks like it was burned to death rather than frozen to death..
It was quite spectacular, but I couldn't watch it for long. The reason was simple: it was dazzling..
Anyway, quite a bit of time has passed since the incident in the North occurred.…….
Ymir's remains, which must have contained enormous musical instruments, seemed peaceful, as if they had somehow forgotten the disaster..
At least in appearance.
“But where is the entrance here?.”
I looked around at Ymir's feet and shook my head back and forth..
“where is it. Are you here? where is it. Are you here? Where are you really?.”
I was running around like a crazy person for about ten minutes.…….
After the sun had completely set, I realized something..
Come to think of it, there was only one place among Ymir's remains that could be called the entrance..
That is the anus of the world's largest frost giant... Not this.
It's the snout.
I climbed Ymir's body almost as if I was climbing a mountain..
I was thinking about using Crowtaker's power, but I refrained from thinking that Verita might be able to sense the spirit's presence..
Climbing Ymir's body is easy.
And Ymir's mouth arrived.
Ymir's mouth was wide open, and for some reason, a cool chill and a bad smell were felt..
This is Ymir’s breath, condensed over thousands and tens of thousands of years… Of course not.
These are traces of the remaining instruments still remaining..
Is there a Verita under this mouth hole??
“hmm…….”
It’s uncomfortable to step in hastily..
I think this is because I wandered there for a very long time and experienced all sorts of things..
Of course, Ymir's body is not as dangerous now as it was then.…….
While I was thinking about it for a moment,.
“……?”
I bowed down at the sudden presence..
At first I thought it was Verita, but it wasn't..
It was a chaotic appearance to the point of being sloppy, and more than anything, there were a lot of them. Immediately after, a number of figures appeared along with a clattering sound..
At first glance, there were more than 15 of them, carrying pickaxes, sacks, and lamps. Looking at their attire, they looked like miners..
Of course, there's no way a miner would be in a place like this... … . Looking at their skin color and facial expression, they don't seem to be from the snowy plains..
“Huh, wow……!”
“Shit!”
These guys looked like they were being chased by something, and some of them were even covered in blood..
‘devil? Or did you get hit by the remnants of the church??’
The odds of that happening are slim..
This is because Heros removed the instrument for about a month and must have put a lot of effort into removing any remaining traces..
Of course, since it is such a large area, it is difficult to be certain that they all were caught and killed..
“Ugh, huh... … . If you made it this far, you'll be fine?”
“Well, you won't be able to go outside. Well, that must be the devil bitch. Inside, there were a lot of instruments so I could move around as much as I wanted, but outside, it wasn't like that.-.”
“fuck!”
The person who swore was a man with a rather harsh look..
The attitude of the guys around him is the same, he probably looks like the boss..
“Hey you bastard! Is it true that I have to risk my life every time I go in? Are there any relics left here in the first place? I'm sure the Heros guys have already done a massive sweep.!”
“yes?! Ha, but it was the boss who said that Ymir's body was so enormous that it was impossible to look through it all.…….”
“Shut up!”
The neat-looking guy briefly closed his snout.…….
Only then did I understand the situation..
Their impressions, the equipment they wore, and most of all, the conversations they had with each other..
‘He's a grave robber..’
And it became absurd.
The area around Ymir's body must have been a place where not only the Empire but also Heros and the 72nd Church paid a lot of attention, but these little bastards are running around running around.?
‘Should I come forward??’
As a hero, it would be right to step in and deal with those guys quickly..
The problem is that I'm moving secretly now. If I make a fuss here, Verita will discover my existence..
When I'm wondering what to do…….
“Hey, there you guys! What are you doing?!”
A boy appeared from the opposite direction with a timid voice..
It was a very unexpected appearance, but his attitude was even more absurd..
He looked at the other person with a very frightened face and trembling eyes, and then shouted in a withdrawn voice. Even the last “kah!” When I did it, my voice even screeched..
“Are you really a grave robber? How could you possibly think of breaking into Ymir’s remains! Everyone, put down the sack and disappear right now.!”
Not only my voice but my whole body is shaking..
Seeing that shabby appearance, the grave robbers forgot their bickering and laughed..
“what. That kid?”
“Brother, I don’t think you’re an ordinary kid. The pattern on that guy’s clothes is…….”
The man who had just closed his mouth gently pointed at the clothes, and only then did the boss nod..
“Is it Frozen Hunt?.”
The pattern of ice and arrows engraved on the hem of the clothes - I think that is the unique pattern of Frozen Hunt. The most famous hunting people in the North..
A mean light flickered in the boss's eyes..
“I heard the leather clothes in Frozen Hunt are that expensive... … . I heard that the clothes they wear with witchcraft patterns on them keep you warm in blizzards and are lighter than down. It's a shame that I have the body type of a kid, but.”
“Think of it the other way around. If you tell noblemen who reveal their money that it is a gift for their children, they will be able to sell it for a higher price..”
“Oh oh. I see. Kkkkkkkkk. After all, in life, there is no law that tells you to die..”
The leader slowly pulled out the sword from his waist..
Did you feel alive in that attitude?.
The boy with a pale complexion shouted.
“Well, stop it! I am an honored hunter of the North! I don't want to fight with people!”
“This ain't a fight, kid.”
“Ugh, uhhh……!”
Am I scared?.
The trembling boy finally seemed to have made up his mind and pulled out his dagger..
It's a strangely small dagger..
It does not appear to be a weapon intended to harm an opponent, but is of a size and design similar to something that would be used for disposing of the corpse of a killed animal..
Of course, the grave robbers burst into laughter..
“Hahahaha!”
“Kid, what is that? Nail clippers??”
“Who can you kill with a knife the size of your little finger?.”
The voice suddenly cut off with a loud sound.…….
“…….”
I also blinked at this point..
I thought that if I hadn't trained my eyesight, I might have missed the kid's movements at this moment..
The boy, who was at least a few dozen meters away, quickly closed the distance and clung to the back of the grave robber leader..
The small dagger in my hand was piercing my throat, and judging by its location, I could see that it had pierced the carotid artery exactly..
“Gurgling…….”
The leader's body collapsed with the sound of boiling blood..
“Two, boss?!”
“Holy fuck!”
Only then did the grave robbers come to their senses and rush in at once..
“Ugh… don't do this…….”
The only thing that was threatening was the voice..
The little hunter slaughtered fifteen robbers in an instant with his skillful movements..
Actually, I don't want to use the bloody expression "butchery," but I can't think of a more appropriate word..
Well done!
As a result, it didn't take more than ten seconds for the grave robbers to collapse, covered in blood..
‘I'm playing a little bit?’
I thought he was at least Heros' A-level hero, and maybe even more..
Is Frozen Hunt all such monsters??
‘…….’
Not really..
I quietly placed my hand on my heart..
Just now, when I was watching that kid move, I felt my heart feeling particularly tight..
To be precise, the band formed near Jungjangjeon - the instruments there responded faintly..
What does this refer to?…….
Simple.
It means that kid just used a musical instrument..
in other words.
‘You're a church member.’
That's not all.
Among the church members, I know of only one who can make an instrument this close to perfection..
‘…colorless believer.’
I narrowed my eyes..
