I Became God of War's Youngest Disciple - Episode 348

348fury

Come to think of it, this is the first time in both my past and present lives that I have directly competed with the Iron Blood Ball..

Even if it is in the form of a couplet, it is the same..

First of all, I saw Delac's doll at the Academy, but at that time I saw another doll... Because I competed with Leone..

Delak's opponent was Seren, his companion, but I didn't even see how they fought in detail..

At that time, Leone was not an easy enemy, so there was no time to turn a blind eye..

Is that why?.

My heart was beating fast like a new martial artist about to face a powerful enemy..

In the middle of the night, the training hall is located in the backyard of the main building..

Delak and I were standing facing each other, and Assad, an observer in Dalian, was sitting on a chair a little distance away, looking at us..

“Because it's sparring, you have to control your hands and there are no rules. This means that you can fight by any means possible. However, I will decide on my own whether I will win or lose, so stop fighting immediately when the decision is made..”

I nodded and drew my sword..

Actually, I thought quite deeply about what I would choose as my first weapon..

My power is eclipsed. It means you have to fight with your bare hands. However, the reason I picked the Seven Deadly Sins Sword is not to look down on the man in front of me..

Rather, he chose the Seven Deadly Sins Sword because he was wary..

Currently, Delac has no information about me..

If I hold my sword like this and assume the Galaxy Sword stance, it means that I will be considered a swordsman..

So, I plan to unfold my galaxy sword and at the right moment switch to my bare hands and use Hundred Eclipse..

If all goes according to plan, wouldn't it be a pretty good raid??

sreung-.

As I drew my sword, Delak also drew his sword from his belt..

The Badniker family's treasured sword - [Michael] revealed himself in the darkness..

Wow!…….

And what kind of coincidence is this?.

As if waiting for the moment to strike, the moon hidden by dark clouds was revealed and moonlight fell on the sword's face..

I visually confirmed that Michael was trembling slightly..

Only a few selected weapons, called divine swords, show such reactions..

It resonates with the surrounding environment, the other person's prayer, atmosphere, or the owner's will..

“…….”

I slowly wiped the smile off my face too..

Delac, holding the sword, was no longer a fierce-looking kid..

Delak, who had returned to the Iron Blood Ball, glanced at me and thrust his sword into the air..

The distance between me and Iron Blood Ball was still more than twenty steps, but…….

Even at that distance, I twisted my upper body in a motion as if avoiding an invisible sword..

wedge!

Meanwhile, Delak's blade had reached right in front of my nose in an instant..

This is the blessing I know too.

‘aha. protection of shadows.’

I thought it was a long-range attack, but it was a mobile device..

He narrowly avoids the attack and then swings the Seven Sins Sword. This is because it caught a fairly fatal gap after the stab attack..

hook.

At that moment, as if it had been waiting, Delac's new model popped down. As if sinking instantly beneath a swamp, it disappeared beyond the shadow cast on the ground..

‘hmm.’

The wolf beast that fought at Heros... Was it Peter Fang? It’s a blessing similar to that guy..

Of course, Delak's protection will be much stronger and more diverse than that..

Kwakagagak!

…Like that, you can even attack directly with a shadow..

The moment Delak appeared from a long distance away, a shadow shaped like a thorn rising from under the ground attacked me..

Looking at the range, it looks like the intention is to drive it into a corner, but if that's the case, it shouldn't be moved as intended..

I jumped forward and narrowed the distance between me and Delak..

“…….”

Delac's eyes sank..

The eyes that look directly at me are scary and creepy..

‘The moment an enemy is defined, the facial expression of a human being doesn't care at all whether that person is a friend, lover, or family member..

It's actually better that way.

I smiled, feeling a thrill running down my spine..

‘far.’

Currently, the distance between Delac and I is quite long..

At least it's not a distance you can cover in just one leap..

The soaring body had no choice but to fall downward, and judging from its speed, the landing point was about five steps away from Delak..

Did Delac's keen eye arrive at the same value?.

A shadow pit was created at the location I was eyeing as a landing spot. Jagged teeth flutter down the space like the snout of some kind of Venus flytrap..

‘but…….’

In the first place, I deliberately adjusted the strength of my jump so that I landed at a distance that was just barely out of reach..

Hwaak!

Just before your feet touch the ground, activate [Crowtaker's Power].

As soon as a single wing sprouted from its back, the body that was about to fall soared upward..

“……!”

And then he slashed his sword at Delak, who had suddenly narrowed the distance..

Kwaaaaang-!

I burst out laughing..

‘Block this too?’

I lack practical experience and have no information about myself..

This means that basic judgment, reaction speed, visual acuity, and in total, improvisation, are beyond the normal level..

Powok-!

“……!”

In other words, it's still only at that level..

It's not enough to go beyond the general level..

Here, I unfolded the hidden eclipse and pierced Delac's solar plexus with the burning eclipse of the eclipse..

‘This went in properly.’

It's a blow that can shake even the toughest guy's guts..

I was hoping that maybe this one shot would decide the winner, but…….

“…….”

Delac's body flew backwards, but the moment I saw his eyes beyond the hair, I got goosebumps..

At least it wasn't the facial expression that a warrior who was allowed to be struck unexpectedly would make..

‘Tracking? Or retreat for a moment?’

I thought for a moment as I watched Delac moving away, then decided to pursue him..

If this were a full-fledged battle, we would have to be more careful, but for now it is a form of sparring..

But the moment I took my next step, I immediately realized that I had made a mistake..

The flat ground shook and suddenly tied my right foot..

‘what?’

Magic? No, is it a spirit??

Without even having time to feel the absurdity, this time hundreds of daggers began to fall from the sky..

Due to the sudden situation, I almost lost track of the battle for a moment..

Up until just moments ago, I was fighting a swordsman, but it's like the opponent has suddenly changed to a wizard..

Kakakang-!

He swatted away the dagger with the Seven Deadly Sins Sword and stepped on the ground with his free left foot, breaking the restraints on the ground..

Meanwhile, Delac has disappeared into the darkness again..

‘ah… Amcheonwolhyanggeuk is coming soon.’

For some reason, I feel like if I use that mental technique, I will be able to know exactly where Delak is hiding in the shadows..

Of course, since it was a wish that could not come true, I concentrated on the minute errors in the environment with all my senses on edge..

The shadow space does not make a sound when opened or closed. hearing is useless.

It won't appear in a place where I can clearly see it. Therefore, there is no visual.

smell? It may be useful, but Delak's body is basically odorless. Since even the basic smell of flesh or sweat was faint, it is highly likely that it will be too late by the time you realize it..

So what's left is the sense of touch..

I focused on the flow of air with heightened sense of skin..

If space opens or closes, the flow of air is bound to change as well..

‘left side.’

I thrust my sword into the center where the air was shaking, but a momentary gasp came out..

The shadow space was open, but there was no one there..

‘fake-.’

Immediately after, I felt a chill running down my spine, so I lowered my posture almost to the point of falling down..

I felt the texture of the blade grazing the back of my neck..

“haha!”

I burst out laughing in a rather awkward position. I don't know why, but I suddenly got excited..

The moment I realized that he was smiling with his teeth exposed, I stretched out my arm and grabbed the sword with my right hand..

Partschut-!

Immediately, mana surged throughout the entire blade, and hundreds of swords surged out and stabbed my palm..

Normally, my fingers would have been as tattered as rags, but I ended up bleeding a little..

There are two reasons.

Not only is he armed with strong gear in advance, but he is also equipped with silver armor..

deeply!

My blade pierced Delak's shoulder. Blood poured out, but not even a scream was heard..

Even though this man was stabbed in the shoulder, he was analyzing the situation with a cool expression - and his immediate judgment was surprising..

He immediately threw away the knife he was holding and punched me. That movement somehow looks familiar..

‘solar eclipse?’

To be precise, it was an imitation, but the posture was so strong that it could not be considered an imitation..

How many times will I be surprised during this short workshop? And how many more times will I be surprised in the future?.

Before I knew it, I had already lost the Sword of Seven Deadly Sins..

Delak and I continued to fight with our fists at close range..

Of course I didn't just use my fists.

This type of close combat is my mainstay..

He attacked Delac with his palms, fingers, elbows, shoulders, knees, feet and even his forehead..

Most attacks went well.

The first time worked perfectly, the second time somehow, but after the third it didn't work anymore..

And Delac immediately attacked me with a similar tactic..

‘crazy…….’

I looked at my shoulder to see why it was moving so well, but the shoulder that had been pierced earlier had already healed..

It has a recovery power comparable to that of Verita..

Healing power does not increase even if the amount of mana you have is enormous or your level is high..

In other words, it is correct to say that it also possesses the protection related to regeneration..

Papa Papa Park!

I think about this while continuing the close combat..

The movements of Iron Blood Ball are…….

It is like a sword forged solely to perform its original role, with all unnecessary elements removed..

There are no unnecessary ornaments or patterns..

Like the essence of a sword, it is a silver-white sword specialized for cutting, stabbing, and killing the opponent..

Like the family's treasured sword, 'Michael', that is currently rolling around on the ground..

‘What a creepy talent..’

I understand what Assad said..

What about a talent that appears only once in hundreds of years?.

‘but…….’

Even so, you won't be the winner of this match..

Powok!

The showdown itself was covered in an instant..

Delek's steps, which were imitating my movements, got tangled at some point..

‘Proficiency Issues.’

Baek Il Sik is my martial arts skill..

It does not mean that I created it, but it means that it is a martial art created based on me..

Of course, posture, movement, range of motion, etc… This means that even the smallest elements have no choice but to adapt to my body..

It takes quite a bit of time and effort to precisely adjust these errors..

Even I invested quite a bit of time right after the regression to correct that faint error..

Whoa whoa-!

He put his fist into Delak's exposed abdomen and struck repeatedly, chasing the opponent who was retreating and then kicking him in the corner of the eye..

Normally, the bridge of his nose would have fallen and his eyeballs would have been crushed, but with Delac's durability and resilience, it wouldn't be a big problem..

‘Still, you won't be able to see ahead temporarily..’

The moment Delak lost his sense of balance and collapsed, I snatched the sword off the floor and crushed him..

Then he slashed the blade he held with both hands..

“stop!”

deeply.

The blade pierced the ground right next to Delak's earlobe..

Assad's voice continued..

“…Luan Badniker's victory.”

***

I got up slowly from my seat.

“…….”

Won against Iron Blood Ball.

I felt like I had done something incredible, but surprisingly, I wasn't happy or excited..

‘I did win, but…….’

The match itself was decided in an instant, and no one was seriously injured. If you ask me if I struggled, that's not true..

But I couldn't help but feel a chill down my spine more than any other fierce battle I've ever had..

‘…How many levels did this guy grow from the fight he just had??’

In fact, it might be more accurate to call it recovery rather than growth..

Unlike his mind, Delac's body seemed to perfectly remember his performance when he was an iron-blooded baller..

But from a third party's perspective, growth or recovery is what it is..

There was something about the inaction, improvisation, growth power, and explosive power that Delac showed during the battle that made the viewer sick of it..

I knew better than anyone else what a great guy he was, but…….

Delac's true value seemed to be revealed when looking down from above, not when looking up from below..

Actually, it's natural..

Let's say there is a huge tree that grows every day.…….

If you look up from the ground, you won't be able to realize its size anymore after it grows so high that it breaks through the clouds..

On the other hand, if you sit at the end of the window and look down at the ground, you will be able to see at a glance the incredible growth power of the tree growing from below... … . Depending on the person, it may feel creepy..

I feel like a mere tree can really reach the outer reaches of heaven..

Of course, I'm not saying I'm out of this world, nor is Delac a tree, and I'm not sure if this analogy is appropriate..

Anyway, that's what I felt.

While thinking about useless things, Delac was rubbing his eyes with only his upper body raised..

“Are you okay?”

“…Umm.”

His eyes were slightly bloodshot, but it didn't look that serious..

On the contrary, he seemed a little shocked.…….

…Now that I think about it, has the Sangvis Ball ever been defeated in official records? Of course, this is a sparring match.

‘no. But wait a minute…….’

I saw Delac..

The eclipse that this man just performed was very good..

So much so that even if you were to unfold it in front of a strict white light, you wouldn't be criticized, and you might only be corrected verbally..

The current Delac is pure white drawing paper... Not until now.

This is an unfinished painting with relatively a lot of space left to draw..

So, if.

What if.

If I fill that empty space however I want, wouldn't I be able to make Delac into a drone that suits my taste??

Depending on what you teach, you can become even stronger than an existing iron-blooded baller..

Yes.

This is truly the greatest father in history..

‘Named Daddy Maker?’

“Hehehe…….”

I was overcome with unknown anticipation and my breathing became rough, and Delac, who had just stood up, hesitated and stepped back..
