I Became God of War's Youngest Disciple - Episode 365

365fury

How can a person be this unlucky??

If my current appearance had been in a different form embedded in the mask, this woman would have passed by without paying any attention to me..

This means that it attracted attention because it had the appearance of Naru..

“Why aren't you answering? huh? aha. you are scared now?”

“…….”

“Be cute. It's not like I'm eating you, so why are you shrinking like that??”

Saying it's cute is usually a compliment, but…….

Strangely, I felt sick every time I heard those words..

This may also be evidence of my lack of mental discipline..

If a person is truly calm, they will not get upset no matter what they hear..

Suddenly, it occurred to me that there was still a long way to go..

‘…….’

So how should I respond??

When I'm just licking my lips.

“hey. Did you rent the seat? When the line gets shorter, move closer to the front..”

One of the mercenaries standing behind Dorothy grumbled..

It was because the number of customers in front of me was decreasing while I was standing still..

But Dorothy was still looking at me, as if she couldn't hear that voice.…….

There is no way an Airuga mercenary would ignore such a blatantly dismissive attitude..

“hey. People speak like words-.”

The mercenary's words were swallowed by the sound of crackling..

The mercenary's outstretched arm was twisted like a corn can..

“Heo Eok……!”

A black bandage was wrapped around the mercenary's mouth as he tried to scream. I don't even know where it came from. In an instant, the mercenary's mouth was sealed and he touched his face with his free arm..

Dorothy grinned, still with me in her eyes, and pointed down the street with her finger..

Tdu-duk, tdu-duk…….

Then the mercenary stood at attention and moved into the street with stiff movements like a toy soldier..

The jerky movement soon disappeared beyond the crowd..

“…….”

Magic that controls the body at will... … . It's black magic. Witch's specialty.

Dorothy tilted her head..

“I guess you weren't dumb? It's not like his tongue was cut out in the meantime. No. I'm not sure, so I'll check it out..”

The moment Dorothy smiled and stretched out her hand, I opened my mouth without thinking any more..

“What could be the reason for waiting in line at the refreshment stand? You're probably buying dessert..”

“aha. It's an errand?”

“yes. I think you will know whose errand it is without me telling you..”

I deliberately avoided mentioning that person directly, but…….

This clever woman will be able to deduce it without difficulty..

“…….”

Dorothy's smile faded, and her eyes narrowed further..

this is a gamble.

Seren also knew about Delak's whereabouts..

Even though that guy is the master of the information guild, if Iron Blood Prince had wanted to, he could have moved secretly without anyone realizing..

in other words… There is a high probability that there are more people in this city who know about the whereabouts of Sanghyeolgong..

I really hoped this woman was one of those characters..

There is a heavy silence for a moment..

The mercenaries behind Dorothy just rolled their eyes without urging. Because I witnessed what just happened..

To survive for a long time in a neighborhood like this, you have to be quick-witted..

The moment when everyone waits for Dorothy's reaction..

“…I didn't know he liked desserts or anything like that..”

The answer I wanted came from Dorothy's mouth..

I sighed in relief..

Dorothy was especially relieved because she also avoided commenting directly..

“Just by looking at it, I can't even tell what your taste is..”

So if you have nothing more to do, just disappear, please..

“next guest!”

“…….”

“customer?”

At that time, the dessert store clerk urged me. Before I knew it, it was my turn..

I'm sure if I move as I please, my legs won't end up like that mercenary guy's. As I was secretly watching, Dorothy gestured..

“What are you doing? When the line gets shorter, move closer to the front.?”

“…….”

Are you crazy?.

I sighed and stepped into the store..

The smiling clerk was talking about something, but I couldn't hear him..

After heading to the dessert corner, my eyes fell on the delicious snacks, but all my attention was focused on the woman who came in behind me..

I organized my thoughts by pretending to choose a dessert..

There are a total of three colorless believers that I have identified so far..

Inquisitor Verita, Hunter Root, and finally, Witch Dorothy..

Verita described Dorothy as a person of interest to be wary of..

Actually my thoughts are similar.

If it's my order, pretend to die, no. Not to mention Verita, who might actually die.…….

Hunter Root also showed a certain degree of respect and compliance with the priest. He was practically foaming at the fact that he engaged with me..

On the other hand, Dorothy observed me with calm eyes throughout and evaluated me like an object..

That part caused friction with Verita..

‘…I miss you a little.’

I never thought I would miss that fanatic, but I thought that if Verita were here, she would have sorted out the situation quickly..

In any case, Naru's appearance is no match for Dorothy, and the same goes for Luzard, another identity..

To be honest, even if she fights as Luan, it's difficult to guarantee a sure victory with this woman..

Not only is it a colorless believer, but it is also a middle name that is on an equal footing with the Iron Blood Ball..

‘pestilence.’

While I was thinking about this and that, I ended up choosing all the desserts. It was so obvious that if I delayed any longer than this, I would be wasting time, so I went to the checkout counter..

“Let us help you calculate.”

After offering the dessert I had chosen to the clerk, I accepted it as if hugging a large bag of bread..

I didn't plan on buying this much, but I ended up putting in a lot of things to pass the time, so it ended up being a mountain..

When Dorothy chooses the menu, should I pretend not to notice and run away??

I thought so for a moment, but then she followed me without even looking at the dessert..

‘Are you a leech??’

Anyway, it seems difficult to separate them by any means possible..

This woman even looked at me and said:.

“Follow me.”

And as if he had an invisible leash attached to me, he started walking somewhere with his back to me.…….

I sighed again and followed him..

Because I decided it was impossible to get rid of Dorothy right away..

The place Dorothy went to was a dark back alley that did not suit her..

There are two main types of back alleys in Airuga..

One is the backworld of the city, filled with bad mercenaries, gangsters, and scoundrels..

The other one is a dump that even those guys don't set foot in..

The latter place was where Dorothy was walking now..

A foul smell, maggots, and mice that are typical of food waste. Outcasts and orphans saw us clutching their hungry bellies..

This world unfolded in a back alley not far from the downtown area..

The darkness of Airuga is like a shadow, and can be found anywhere in the alleys of this city, so it is not an unexpected fact to me..

Basically, outcasts and orphans are easier to find in big cities..

If it were a truly poor city, people like that would have starved to death a long time ago..

“please give me something to eat…….”

“I haven't eaten anything for a week…….”

“…….”

I passed them and took a cookie out of the bag and handed it to them..

“Okay, thank you. thank you.”

Then Dorothy, who was ahead, glanced back and said in a sarcastic voice:.

“Be kind too.”

“…….”

Dorothy didn't even glance at the tramps. I feel like I'm not treated as a human being... Not.

It just seems like it's not even visible to the eye..

It feels like dealing with trash scattered in a back alley..

So I splurge on the dessert I bought and went deeper into the back alley.…….

Before long, I was standing in a dark place where even the tramps had disappeared..

Suddenly, there was a door on the fence in that dirty, dark back alley, and Dorothy took a key out of her pocket and stuck it in the keyhole..

click.

The moment the sound of metal meeting was clearly heard, the door opened with a creepy sound..

“…….”

The inside that was revealed was dark..

It's not just dark, it feels like a symbolic pitch black is lurking inside..

This somehow feels familiar..

“Go in.”

“…….”

I thought that if I went in obediently, it would never work out..

I said while holding up the envelope that was still half empty..

“I need to bring this to the head of the family quickly.…….”

“okay? It's fun.”

“what's fun?”

Dorothy, giggling, came towards me..

As I was clenching my fists so that I could leave at any time, this woman passed me by and stood behind me..

Feeling the weight on your shoulders.

I felt a soft hand brushing the back of my neck, and my ears started to tingle..

Dorothy slightly lowered her head and touched her messy hair..

“Delac is not in this city right now. … right?”

“…….”

“you are lying.”

Fuck, really

While I was holding back my swearing, Dorothy's hand touched the back of my neck..

For a moment, I almost broke my fingers..

Somehow, I thought that if I allowed more contact than this, my cover might be exposed..

Verita, I don’t know if it’s the root.…….

This woman must not find out that Luan is Naru..

I moved forward as if shaking off Dorothy's hand.……

“what.”

Thanks to this, I succeeded in shaking off the hand, but I ended up getting closer to the damn door..

“…….”

ruler. Here is the crossroads of choice.

Dorothy is not showing any hostility towards me right now..

And you won't touch me so easily.

I don't know what the plan is, but touching Naru here means losing a fight with the Sanghyeolgong-gong..

…But this is just my wish and there is no guarantee that this girl won't actually touch me..

“Where does this door lead??”

“huh? It's one of our hideouts..”

“…….”

“Don't be too nervous. There are a lot of people I want to introduce to you..”

This could actually make the situation worse.?

Somehow I felt like I had stepped into the middle of enemy territory..

In that case, wouldn't it be a better decision to just fight Dorothy here one-on-one??

I'm seriously considering that direction as well..

“Dorothy? what are you doing there?”

“Oh my. Have you lost your bad taste again? Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk.”

Two new figures appeared with mocking voices..

Judging by their voices, they were one man and one woman, but I don't know what they looked like because they were both wearing hoods..

but.

“Do something. Last time too, you were the only one late for the meeting because of that petty hobby..”

“Sometimes, when I see what you do, I want to tear you to death..”

“Oh, it's noisy, so shut up both of you..”

Judging by his tone, he is a colleague on equal footing..

In other words, from my point of view, it is no different from Dorothy splitting into three people..

‘…pestilence.’

At this rate, I can't even take it out anymore..

I looked ahead again.

What on earth is lurking beyond this door??

‘Abnaham Witches? Or denomination?’

Neither group is treated very well by the Empire, but the Witches' Association is better than the main enemy, the Church. It's not a hostile relationship at all..

But the probability of it being a witches' coven is low..

Because one of the people who appeared together was a man..

‘If you are a colorless believer, it might make sense. If I reveal that I am a priest, a few people like Veritana Root may follow my orders.…….’

…But if you don't follow?

Since my identity will only be discovered, this too is too risky..

Anyway, Dorothy, I once again thought that this woman was not in her right mind..

Are you thinking of bringing Naru, who has connections to the Iron Blood Ball, to face the church?.

If you're not careful, you could become Delak's target, so what are you thinking??

While thinking like that…….

Jeopuk.

I stepped into a dark space.

I felt a vaguely familiar sensation of my body floating. I definitely felt like I was moving through space..

How far is it from Airuga??

I'm not sure about that either.

After a while, when the surroundings became brighter, only soft lighting shimmered in the place where I was..

There was a huge round table in the center of the space..

“…….”

And there were already two people sitting at the round table... … . In this case, the total number of people is five..

I guess it's not as much as I thought..

“what. It's not even all there.”

“shut up. Latecomers like you sometimes have to come early..”

“Ozma? Are you all there now? I don't think even half of it came..”

As Dorothy spoke, a woman called Ozma looked this way..

Aside from Dorothy, she was the only one who showed her face, and it was a woman with an expressionless face like a doll..

Ozma looked directly at me and tilted his head. A bit excessive, almost like an owl..

“what is that kid?”

“Well, whatever. Candidate for my new servant.”

“okay? Has your aesthetic sense finally changed?.”

“what?”

“Because I don’t think it’s really to your taste..”

“…what does that mean?”

“That boy. You're hiding yourself.”

The noisy surroundings suddenly became quiet..

The woman called Ozma yawned with a bored expression and said:.

“He's wearing a Linchal mask..”

ah.

It's about to return.
