I Became God of War's Youngest Disciple - Episode 94

94fury

For a moment, Luke thought he had gone blind. Darkness so thick as to make one think it was so dark surrounded all directions..

‘Blindness…….’

Actually, that might be correct..

Luke didn't lose his eyesight, but the world seemed to have lost its light..

Gooooooooo……!

The moment a terrible energy swirled around, the darkness that had surrounded all directions melted like a candle..

Laughter was heard everywhere..

Distorted facial features appeared like scars on the gray giant tree, and they burst into laughter all at once..

And the darkness that enveloped all around melted away and gathered as if they were being sucked into the center of the forest..

The darkness that gathered together boiled like lava, and then it soared like a fountain..

Kwaaaa…….

The darkness finally took shape, and those who still survived witnessed it..

[…….]

It was an enormous being..

Even the giant trees in the forest that were tens of meters tall were not even half the size of their existence..

Black cloth flowing like a waterfall and a crown that looks like it is made of white bone..

“Ahhh……!”

Juan burst out in joy, blood pouring out..

“You hate me-!”

The Demon King looked down carefully..

It didn't feel like he was responding to his name..

In other words, something protruded from the surface of the fabric that seemed to be swirling in darkness..

Luke realized that the big white thing was a finger..

Even a giant's finger bones wouldn't have been that big..

[…….]

And the devil pointed his finger at Juan..

It was a movement that seemed like a sentence..

“Ah, you evil spirit… … ! Your lowly servant like this-.”

Ujijik…….

At the end of his expression filled with joy, Priest Juan collapsed, covered in blood..

Luke looked down at the blood that was once Juan with a dumbfounded face..

The blood had an ominous black color, so at first glance it looked like a black swamp..

‘Nine Demon Lords of the Black Swamp…….’

For the first time, I am convinced by the definition given by the church..

not the devil.

That's God.

It is an absolute being that you cannot help but worship if placed in front of you, that you would not even dare to beg for your life, and that cannot be subject to human standards..

Luke's body trembled..

It was a fear I had never felt before..

The reason his mind didn't collapse even at this moment was thanks to Luke's usually stoic temperament..

“Ugh, ah…….”

The other one still alive was different..

Heretic Questioner Junian.

Even the warrior trained in fear and fighting the devil dozens of times was consumed by fear the moment he saw the evil spirit..

Junian sat down and looked up at the Demon King, and saliva was leaking from his open mouth..

[…….]

The Demon King's finger pointed at Junian..

Ujijik…….

And Junian also turned into black blood..

“…….”

Luke sensed his own end..

‘…The priest offered himself as a sacrifice.’

I didn't know this method was possible.

It was probably Juan's secret weapon..

In return, the Demon King appeared..

With only one purpose.

‘the death of every human being here.’

Although the entire land will not be eroded by musical instruments as originally planned, there is no way for Luke to avoid death..

I'm almost laughing out loud.

I knew it wasn't an easy operation..

Because the priest was involved..

I also risked my life.

but… I never thought I would face death in such vain.

So, was Badniker’s operation a success??

Because I killed the priest and foiled the plan.?

Crash.

Luke gritted his teeth..

It can't be like that, right?.

As a badknicker,

As the leader of the Iron Blood Knights,

Above all, as Sanghyeolgong's younger brother,.

I can't die in vain like this..

“Haaaa-!”

Luke gritted his teeth and let out a sigh..

A storm-like force swirled throughout my body..

What can you do now?.

Are you fighting against evil??

Not really..

Luke's eyes turned to Evan..

I knew that Sogyoju existed, but I had no idea that this was the place to plan its birth..

‘At least a small religious leader.’

We should at least take Evan Helvin with us..

Luke, his whole body covered with energy, rushed towards Evan..

Ujijik…….

This was Luke's last appearance..

The distance from Evan was still dozens of steps, in other words, only five steps, and Luke collapsed, turning into the black blood he had seen earlier..

Clang-.

The white sword Luke was holding fell on the ground..

* * *

Three people died in an instant.

priest juan.

Heretic Questioner Junian.

Luke Badniker, Commander of the Iron Blood Knights.

All three of them were strong players with skills that I couldn't defeat..

Those people lost their lives without even being able to properly resist..

[…….]

The devil's eyes were on me..

I also felt scared, but not to the point where my body stiffened..

The problem is that I can't think of any silver bullet to overcome this situation..

‘If you stick next to Evan?’

If Evan is truly the leader of the small religion, no matter how much the devil he is, he will not kill him carelessly..

I don't know how it attacks, but if objects around it are also affected,…….

Of course, it may not work, but it's right to try something if you're going to die anyway..

‘Doesn't seem like someone I can talk to.’

The problem is that his body is so tired from the fight that he just fought that he doesn't want to move easily..

I've lost a lot of blood and am on the verge of losing consciousness..

Still, the moment I grit my teeth and take a step forward…….

The devil's finger moved.

Then something unexpected happened.

The fingers stopped for the first time..

[…….]

Under the white-bone mask, an ominous glow stared directly at me..

I somehow got the feeling that the Demon King was hesitating, but it was only for a moment..

The moment the bent finger unfolds and points straight at me.

Whioooooo-!

A storm raged everywhere..

I looked back at the familiar feeling..

‘Seren?’

The guy who had been hit by the priest and thrown into a tree was stretching out his hand, his silver hair stained with fresh blood fluttering wildly..

The pupils are not turned upside down like before..

Seren's eyes were accurately aware of the direction ahead..

Kwa-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-gag-!

A sharp wind that was much stronger than last time was shot towards the Demon King..

This time the devil tried to point to the wind with his finger..

[…….]

I witnessed it in the howling wind. Just before that, I saw the devil himself withdrawing his hand..

Kwazijijijijijik-!

And the sharp wind brought by Seren tore the devil's image to pieces..

“…ah.”

The dark places became brighter.

The terrible and ominous energy disappeared with the wind, and the tree that burst into flames returned to its original appearance..

The forest at night regained its calm appearance as if it had never been like that before..

“…Is it over?.”

My legs suddenly lost strength and I fell down on the spot..

The tree branches that the priest broke were still intact, so the sky was still clearly visible..

I never knew the night sky could look this bright.

Even though it was only three days, the starry night sky was so beautiful that it brought tears to my eyes..

Of course, it's not yet time to get lost in the sentiment..

I sighed and said.

“Hey, Seren. You are not kidding. Defeating the devil, this is enough even in Good Spring.-.”

I stopped talking.

I saw Seren leaning against a tree..

“Even in Goodspring, well.”

Seren grinned at me..

“I think you'll see me again?”

“…….”

I asked, looking into Seren’s eyes..

“Are you dying??”

* * *

Seren laughed lowly..

“I told you. The risk is big.”

“…….”

“The priest?”

“dead.”

“is it.”

I looked down at Seren and said.

“Did you write this even though you knew you were going to die??”

“I don't know, it's a head body.”

“other ways.”

“Could have been.”

Seren laughed..

“…But that's enough now.”

tired voice.

I calmly waited for the next words.

Seren was only breathing heavily and rarely opened her mouth..

I had no choice but to ask.

“What are you tired of?.”

“Well, okay…….”

I saw Seren's unfocused eyes..

Instead of the usual clear sky and fog, there was a lot of fog..

Although it may have been difficult to distinguish objects, Seren felt as if she was seeing something..

Is it a dazzling light?.

“Cough.”

The moment Seren coughed, dark, dead blood poured out..

Seren didn't even think about wiping the blood that flowed on her uniform..

“Hey you…….”

i closed my mouth.

Are you okay? Don't give up. You can survive..

In this situation, I didn't want to say something so irresponsible..

“…secret.”

Instead, for some reason, what came out of my mouth were completely strange words..

“You told me a secret.”

“…….”

“Or was it just something you said??”

I said it in a deliberately mischievous tone..

“If you report your loss right now... I'll just pass it on. At that time, I just said it without thinking, just to show off.?”

Seren laughed quietly and opened her mouth with difficulty..

“no.”

“Then tell me.”

“Is that so??”

And Seren opened her mouth..

“Hey. Actually I know the future.”

“…….”

“Among Goodspring's heirlooms, there is something called [Laplace's New Book], which contains information about what will happen in the future. Sort of… Prophetic Bibliography.”

“…….”

“but… No one really believed that. It was written in unknown characters so no one could read it..”

Seren spoke at a slight interval..

“…except me.”

silence again.

I looked at Seren and asked.

“That's it?”

“what.”

“Is that all you said about the secret?.”

Seren said that, but I somehow didn't understand it..

What I just said wasn't a lie..

It's probably true.

but…….

To me, these words that Seren said right before she died did not seem like a secret that this guy was hiding all along..

There is no basis or logic.

Maybe it's just my imagination.

but-.

“…….”

Seren's gaze turned to me again..

You won't even be able to see my face properly..

Is it my mistake that there seems to be a little joy in that gaze?.

“…Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk.”

It's not an illusion.

Seren actually laughed happily..

Even though she started spitting out blood soon after, Seren looked somewhat happy and even more at ease now..

I couldn't understand why this guy who was always so upset and irritated only showed this side right before he died..

“…As for my name, it's not actually Seren..”

I blinked my eyes.

It seemed like a word with a lot of meaning..

I asked slowly while looking at Seren’s face..

“Then what is your real name??”

“…….”

Seren paused for a moment at my words..

His blurred gaze seemed to be groping through a dusty bookshelf..

“real name…….”

Seren wandered for a while looking for her real name, which was buried in the pages of her memories..

“well…….”

Soon those lips became soft..

“How did you pronounce it?…….”

“…….”

The sound of grasshoppers became clearer.

The old moon emerged from the dark clouds and softly illuminated the forest..

Sabak.

I approached Seren and closed her unfocused eyes with my only hand..

Then, after a moment of hesitation, he took off the blood-soaked cape and wrapped it around her..

Seren Good Spring.

A girl who longed for the warmth of spring, but who resembled winter and shivered in the cold all her life, hoped that she would no longer shiver after death..
