I Became God of War's Youngest Disciple - Episode 83
83fury
This wasn't worth worrying about..
“How can I go back to where I came from??”
Then Assad's frown narrowed..
“hmm… So you're saying you're going to reject my offer??”
“I guess so..”
“Why? Did you not understand me correctly? Have I become a fool again??”
“…….”
This guy is real.
No offense, but I'm not the type of person who wants to talk for a long time..
“I understand.”
“But still, I'm going back to that hell..”
I said with a smile.
“Whether it's hell or not remains to be seen..”
“hmm…….”
Assad stroked his chin..
“I'm sure you have your own reasonable reasons... … . good night. If that's your decision then I have no right to get involved..”
And points behind me.
“I made an exit behind you. Just open the door and go out.”
When I looked back at those words, a door that was clearly not there had appeared..
“Before you leave. Even if I ask, you won't tell me who came up with this crazy plan.?”
“huh.”
Then, as if a funny idea suddenly occurred to him, he chuckled to himself and said:.
“Still, I think I can at least tell you something.?”
“I mean?”
“okay. I have something to say to him.?”
“…old man.”
“hmm?”
Assad tilted his head..
“Is it the end??”
“yes.”
“Right. But did I mention my age?.”
“That's not it. It's just that I don't think the head of the family will be swayed by a nosebleed dog..”
“That's accurate.”
Assad confirmed my words..
Of course, that affirmation itself could be a trick, but it seems unlikely that Assad will engage in such troublesome psychological warfare..
So, I think that answer is similar to a hint given by pretending not to know..
Probably one of the old monsters that has been hiding behind Badniker's curtain for a long time..
“good night. I'll tell you when I feel like it, so just go..”
Assad waved his hand..
When I lowered my head and grabbed the doorknob.
“Luan Badniker.”
“yes?”
“I hope I survive.”
When I glanced back, Assad smiled and said.
“I'm serious.”
* * *
“Oh, it's back!”
“Luan! are you okay?”
“Have you met your father? what did he say?”
“…for a moment. dizzy.”
I pretended to stumble and took a moment to collect my thoughts..
Expectant faces surrounding me.
Even Charon, who was stuck in the corner, was glancing over here..
‘Should I tell the truth? Or just hide it?’
If you tell the truth like this, Badniker's prestige will fall to the ground, and maybe things will turn out to be much bigger than you think..
There is no way the other family will stand by and let their precious child die..
Of course, it's none of my business, but if there's anything that bothers me, it's Assad's attitude..
There's no way that smart guy didn't know about this butterfly effect, but he told me the whole story without hiding anything..
‘Are you saying you don't care what other families say?.’
If you make a mistake, not only will your relationship with other families worsen, but you may also be subject to sanctions from the imperial family..
It must be fun to see the badniks burning with the karma they have committed..
“…I moved to a place that seemed like a strange room, but there was no one there..”
But I hid the truth.
Of course not for Badknicker..
I just don't think these immature guys who can be called heroes yet can handle the truth..
Of course, even when I said, ‘It’s not good to get help right away,’ these guys looked like the sky had fallen.…….
Wouldn't he have been even more devastated if he heard that he had become a bait to catch the priest??
Of course, this is my personal opinion..
“…So what should we do now??”
“Shouldn’t I hold on… … ? Because one day, Badniker will definitely realize it..”
It's just as I said.
Actually, it's not that much, I knew it all from the start..
As I watched the leaders talking about various things, I secretly revealed my next destination..
“I'm thinking of going to camp first..”
“…camp?”
“okay. I am concerned that there is no response from the instructor. I'm going to go and see what's going on..”
“Above, it must be dangerous.…….”
“There is no success without risk..”
“Ah, ah... Well, then I will guard this place.…….”
Basil, a timid dwarf, spoke in a withdrawn voice..
Judging by his attitude, he doesn't seem to have any intention of going with me..
“I didn't plan on going to all of them in the first place. Isn’t it dangerous to move in a group? So from now on, we will only be accepting applicants. person to go?”
Although I said it this way.
I don't mind moving alone.
Oh, except for one guy..
“Charon, you are coming with me..”
“Why?”
“Why is it a dog. I want to get beat up and go, I just want to go.”
“…….”
For some reason, my tone of voice seems to be getting harsher in front of Caron..
Is it because of this guy’s appearance??
He looks like a mercenary and reminds me of those days..
Anyway, Charon closed his mouth..
The reason is that among these guys, the most useful one is Charon.…….
Actually, that's not the only reason.
I'm the only one who can control that guy here, but if I ignore him for no reason, he could end up doing something wrong again..
He's a crazy guy who deals with points even when the devil appears, so there's nothing he can do..
“…I was planning on going even if you didn't say anything..”
Charon said a word as if he was showing minimal resistance..
I was even thinking of hitting you if you didn't listen, but it was a waste of effort..
“I'm going too.”
I nodded at Hector’s words..
Of course I thought this guy would say he was going..
First of all, there are three search members I thought of.…….
I looked at the leaders who were still confused and said,.
“If you don't have confidence, just stay here. It's better than harming others..”
I said sure.
Today's forest must have become an incomparably more dangerous place than yesterday..
It may not be a leisurely situation to load luggage..
“…I'm going too.”
And should I say it was unexpected?.
Evan Helvin announced his intention to accompany us..
I looked at it carefully to see what he was thinking... Evan's eyes were on Charon, not me..
‘Did you feel a sense of competition with Charon??’
I guess I'm still holding on to the fact that everything broke down in sparring last time..
In general, competitive spirit leads to positive growth as long as it is not excessive.…….
I'm not sure if it's a good thing in this current situation..
“Evan, if you show anything similar to yesterday, I will send you away midway..”
“…That won't happen anymore. You can swear.”
If you can say it this way, it's good..
“Then, a scouting party is formed..”
Me, Charon, Hector, and finally Evan..
These four go to see the camp..
“You guys can wait here and get something to eat if you can. And if, by chance, the cabin is abandoned, it leaves behind traces..”
“All right. But why are you eating it?……?”
“You have to assume the worst. If any musical instrument invades this land, everything, whether it's a forest or a spring, will dry up, so we need to secure as much as possible before that happens..”
“hmm… All right.”
I saw Mir for the last time.
Looking at his confused expression, it seems like he hasn't fully grasped the situation yet..
“Mir.”
“Uh, um? What.”
“Please take care of me while I am away..”
Then Mir looked at me with a blank face..
“Please take care of me?”
“okay. You protect those guys.”
“I…….”
I thought he was too nervous, so I made a joke on purpose..
“Protecting the weak is a hero.”
“…Who says I'm weak?.”
Charles grumbled, but.
What I said was half serious and half joking..
Mir's potential is not inferior to that of Charon or Hector..
If you can overcome your fear, the low-level demons around you will be no match for you..
“i get it! I will protect you, so don’t worry and go home safely.!”
Anyway, he is a simple guy by nature, so the encouragement that wasn't my encouragement worked well..
I patted Mir’s shoulder a few times as he clenched his fist..
“So are we going to camp first??”
“That's the final destination. If I meet Youngdo on the way, I plan to help him..”
I haven't told these guys yet.
There is one person in Yeongdo that you must meet..
Seren Good Spring.
The guy who acted like he knew about this situation in advance..
How did Goodspring, not even Badniker, know about the church’s plans??
First we need to find out.
* * *
The forest map handed out by the instructor was not very accurate, but.
The approximate location was drawn for easy identification..
“The camp isn't that far. If this isn't the case, it's a distance that can be reached within two or three hours..”
“now?”
“I'll have to watch it for at least two days, and at most three or four days..”
Hector said, pointing to a spot in the forest..
“So, rather than heading straight to the camp, I think it would be better to make the stream that runs through the forest your first destination. Meanwhile, I replenish drinking water..”
If it's a stream, it's where our group first encountered a monster spider..
We agreed that there was not enough drinking water..
At that time, Charon, who had left to look around, returned silently and spoke in a blunt tone..
“I took a quick look around. It was full of demons. It was in pairs of two or three..”
“It looks like a bunch of demons were summoned like you said..”
If you go in groups of two or three, it's too risky to kill them by surprise..
In other words, it was best not to encounter the devil even if you went around in a big way..
Charon became a guide.
This guy wandered around the forest, which had become dangerous because the devil had been summoned, as if it were the courtyard of his own house, and yet his presence was perfect..
Hector knew well the geography and characteristics of the forest..
I don't know how many times I stopped by or if I heard anything about it in advance..
In any case, it will be valid knowledge until the forest is marinated in musical instruments..
‘Better than mine.’
Charon and Hector, both of them are the most talented among the Youngdos, so it is natural..
Anyway, we moved forward slowly but steadily..
Advance more smoothly than expected.
It's hard to be sure because there are so many variables, but if we keep this pace, I think we could arrive by tomorrow.?
…There was a time when I thought that way.
“hmm…….”
I took out the hourglass from my pocket and checked it..
Some time has passed since we left..
Even if you don't know the vacant lot, you can slowly see the stream, but it's not strange at this point..
Then Charon said.
“…That's strange.”
“what?”
“I don't feel like I'm making progress.”
“what is that…….”
“for a moment. Isn’t this the place we passed by earlier??”
Charon stopped at Hector’s words and asked back..
“It's a place I passed by?”
“okay.”
“The evidence is.”
“That tree looks exactly like the one we saw earlier..”
Charon looked at the tree that Hector pointed to, but he didn't seem to agree..
So I agreed..
“I think what you said is right.?”
“okay… … ? I can't tell them apart clearly..”
Evan said, tilting his head..
“…….”
“…….”
And me and Hector looked at each other at the same time as if we had something in common..
“older brother.”
“…okay.”
The fact that only I and Hector realized it means that only Badknicker realized it..
One of the features of Butterfly Forest.
People other than Badniker are wandering in this forest..
“Has the forest barrier been broken?.”
“It's probably on the way to breaking down. If the barrier had completely collapsed, the family would have reacted immediately..”
“…….”
Hector knew about Badniker well, but…….
I guess I didn't expect that they were crazy people trying to kill the devil by using Yeongdo as a scapegoat..
You'll find out someday, but not now.
I closed my mouth without saying anything..
That's the moment.
- Wow…….
A tearing scream was heard from somewhere..
“…I heard?”
“okay. It was west.”
“It's the exact opposite of camp..”
“Still, I have to go.”
Evan said, perhaps still having an awkward relationship with Hector, but sticking to the polite language..
“Luan said this before leaving. When I meet Youngdo, I have to save him..”
“It did. But if it's not Yeongdo?”
“yes?”
“Could be a banshee.”
Hector said.
“A demon that imitates human screams. This guy is also a low-level demon, but he is a more troublesome opponent than the Beast..”
“So they might have been summoned together..”
“There's no chance.”
Everyone's eyes were on me, and I made a shocked expression..
Even so for Evan, who was in the same group, why do the other two also treat me like a decision maker?.
I spoke briefly..
“I have to go save it.”
I don't know if I didn't know, but I found out and I can't ignore it..
Although I'm still young and immature…….
'Cause we're wannabe heroes.
