I Became God of War's Youngest Disciple - Episode 55

Heiro answered..
“[I had to go to a swamp area. I need a useful guide and wizard, but it's hard to find one with my connections and money..”
“As for the guide, I will speak to [Heros] myself. Is it okay for a wizard to be at the director level?.”
“It's enough.”
A director-level wizard is just below the master level..
A high-ranking wizard who can build a magic tower in a city if a few conditions are met..
Although hiring a magician of that level is not a problem that can be solved simply by having money, Iron Blood Prince said without making a big deal of it..
“What else do you want??”
“doesn't exist.”
Iron Blood Lord nodded, then looked at Nero this time..
“Nero.”
“yes.”
“[Heros], where he performed a B-class mission on his own. I heard that the evaluation of the institution was very good..”
“That's right.”
“Is there anything else you want?.”
“…….”
Nero hesitated for a moment and then opened his mouth..
“I feel like I'm facing a wall recently, so I'm having trouble making progress. If you have some spare time, could you spare some time?.”
Sanghyeolgong nodded his head at these words as well..
“I'll set aside some time soon..”
“yes.”
“Separately, I heard that you have been learning the old fairy sword techniques recently..”
“That's right.”
“In general, ancient swordsmanship consumes a lot of mana. Your mana amount is superior to that of your peers, but it is probably not a generous level. I will give you an elixir soon, so take it..”
“thank you.”
A satisfied smile spread across Nero's blunt face..
And Sanghyeolgong's gaze turned towards me..
It was a short question and answer, but the reward given by Sanghyeolgong was by no means small..
How many families in the empire can afford this level of compensation?.
“Luan.”
“yes.”
“He is said to have created a martial art comparable to the family's secret swordsmanship..”
This is a conversation we had once before..
Defeating Hariba, and banning Badniker..
Why bring it up again now??
I responded as I felt the attention of Heero and Nero..
“I've never learned my family's secret swordsmanship, so I can't compare..”
“Does that mean that what you made might be superior?.”
“…….”
I spoke in an ambiguous tone on purpose, but you understand this..
I didn't really reply.
Fortunately, Sanghyeolgong didn't ask any more questions and changed the subject..
“In the mountains, he defeated Haden-Eihar's assassins and subdued the Jewel Beasts, and in the main house, he personally dealt with the infiltrated rats. Afterwards, he proved himself by shaking off the checks from the council of elders, and won a landslide victory over Hector in Dalian..”
“yes.”
“excellent.”
Under the rule of Iron Blood Prince, Hiiro and Nero's eyes were focused on me..
I don't know the circumstances, but I can roughly understand the reason..
At first glance, Sanghyeolgong was a man who was stingy with praise..
‘What happened at home is a bit vague..’
it's not strange.
Ludwig's infiltration activities seem to be unknown even to Hiiro and Nero here..
“Do you wish for something??”
“uh…….”
I never thought the opportunity would come so soon.
I answered immediately.
“I want to access the family's underground library..”
“underground library?”
“yes.”
“…….”
The Sanghyeolgong paused for a moment and narrowed his eyebrows for a rare moment..
‘what.’
Compared to what the two guys said before, I don't think I was asking for anything special, so why is the reaction like this? uneasily.
“Can not be done.”
“…….”
“That's not enough.”
“…It's not enough?”
“If nothing else, it's a big credit to catch Haden Eihar's lead. Just giving access to the underground library does not make sense..”
That's what I meant..
“What I wish for differently?”
“hmm…….”
What do I need now?.
I thought about it for a moment..
Family's Vision Martial Arts?
Just practicing Hundred Eclipse and Galaxy Sword is overwhelming. My theory is that too little is better than too much..
Since you are not experiencing difficulties in advancing to the next level, there is no need to ask for guidance like Nero did..
In other words, there was only one conclusion..
“I wish I had an elixir too..”
“elixir?”
“yes. If possible, it should have the energy of extreme yang..”
“hmm…….”
Sanghyeolgong's eyebrows narrowed again, and he opened his mouth..
“There will be one spirit jade in the family report. I'll give it to you, so take it..”
What is Youngok??
I don't know what it is, but it's given by Iron Blood Ball, so it's much better than an ordinary elixir..
I nodded quickly..
“yes.”
“take this too.”
It was a ring.
A silver ring with no special patterns or jewels..
“What is this?”
“Magic tools. If you infuse mana, you can come to this place anytime..”
“ah.”
“It's disposable, so use it at the right moment..”
I guess this was a sub-space after all..
“Lastly, if you visit an underground library, be careful of the librarian..”
“Buy it?”
“okay.”
Who is the librarian, a man as good as an Iron Blood Ball, personally telling us to be careful?.
I wanted to ask in detail, but Sanghyeolgong suddenly stood up and missed the timing..
“Today is the first happy day in a long time. To help you grow, I will also show you something..”
Heero and Nero's expressions changed at these words..
Somehow, he looked like a child just before receiving a gift..
‘What are you trying to show me?.’
My doubts were resolved the next moment..
sreung-.
The Sanghyeolgong stood up and drew his sword..
I'm thinking of showing you some swordsmanship..
Only then did I understand the excitement of those two guys..
This is no different from Sanghyeolgong declaring that he would actually teach..
If you're the child of a Sanghyeolgong master, no..
An opportunity that every warrior in the empire longs for..
I was excited too..
Swordsmanship is not my main strength, but it is a swordsmanship demonstrated by none other than Sanghyeolgong himself..
Isn’t there something you can understand just by looking at it??
This is the moment when the Iron Blood Ball with his sword drawn passed us by..
Rolling…….
Suddenly the ground rose and writhed like crushed clay..
The clay soon took the form of a monster..
The moment I thought that everything was going to come out, the Iron Blood Ball, who was walking politely, swung his sword..
Puhuaak!
The five monsters on the front line instantly turned to blood..
It wasn't swung once..
In a split second, Sanghyeolgong's sword cut one monster's body at least five times..
The strangest thing is that all of those slashes are not serial attacks, but individual attacks..
In fact, the stab wounds left on the monster's body felt as if five swordsmen had struck it at the same time, swinging their swords, rather than being inflicted by one person..
Sanghyeolgong was usually a gentle and quiet man, but when he fought, he looked like a beast..
He didn't gasp or roar, but he didn't care at all that his opponent's blood was on his body..
That was also an indicator of the Sanghyeolgwon's mindset as he went into battle..
A person who does not care at all about flesh and blood splattering on his body in order to move efficiently..
A man who can hide under a corpse for three days and three nights in order to kill his target..
“…….”
After one sword dance, Sanghyeolgong looked back at us without even thinking about wiping away the dripping blood..
“Did you see it well?.”
As if we were in agreement, we just nodded without saying anything..
“How was it?.”
Heiro was the first to open his mouth to Sangvis-Blooded Ball's question..
“… It was a fierce and tenacious swordsmanship. Above all, it seemed to have no set shape, but it was the freest swordsmanship I've ever seen. In other words, it is probably a swordsmanship that is more effective in many-to-one situations rather than one-on-one situations..”
As Iron Blood Prince nodded, this time Nero expressed his impressions..
“It seemed like the swordsmanship wasn't created with interpersonal combat in mind. This is because the offensive did not end even after inflicting fatal wounds that would have resulted in the death of an ordinary person. Perhaps he created it with immortality in mind, or the fight against the devil..”
Sangvis-Dong nodded again, this time looking at me..
For some reason, I felt like I should share my thoughts, so I spoke roughly..
“I agree with your opinion..”
“Is that all??”
“yes.”
Actually, I had one more thing to say, but somehow I felt it would be better to keep my mouth shut..
I feel like I don't want to scratch and cause a rash..
At my reply, not only Hiiro and Nero, but also Sangvis-Blooded Lord's eyebrows tightened, but they didn't ask any further questions..
Heero asked.
“Are you going to pass on to us the swordsmanship you just showed us??”
“Yes.”
“You are teaching me the swordsmanship you created yourself.…….”
I can hear the excitement in Heiro’s voice. She doesn't express it, but it appears that Nero feels the same way..
However, when I heard the word “transmission,” I felt like I was being put on a pedestal..
“Why is your expression like that??”
Sanghyeolgong looked at me..
I answered, trying hard to hide my shocked expression..
“Lord of the house.”
“speak.”
“I don't need this swordsmanship.”
“why.”
“There are two reasons: First of all, swordsmanship is not my main focus..”
“I know very well that you are trained in bare-handed martial arts. I heard it from Kayan, and I used my fists when I defeated Hector..”
Sanghyeolgong spoke at length, which was rare, and then asked again..
“What is the other reason?.”
I said, recalling the martial arts that Sanghyeolgong showed just now..
“I'm still developing. As you heard from Keian, the martial art I am creating is still unfinished..”
“I know that too.”
“Then you understand..”
I nodded and said.
“Learning multiple unfinished martial arts is too much for my level..”
“…….”
A line was drawn around the corner of Sanghyeolgong's mouth..
