I Became God of War's Youngest Disciple - Episode 96
96fury
The fourth brother took me, confused, to my teacher's residence..
A bleak interior without even bedding..
An old drawer and a table. The only two chairs looked exactly like I remembered..
[sit down.]
Fourth, the death penalty recommended in a unique, inorganic voice..
“Ah, yes…….”
I couldn't figure out what the hell was going on... It was difficult to ask questions easily.
This is because the atmosphere of the fourth death penalty was very unique in the first place..
The executioner was fiddling with the tea utensil with his back turned, and soon a delicious smell filled the interior of the living quarters..
[Do you still like cars??]
“yes, what…….”
[Good thing.]
As I reached out my hand to receive the teacup my brother-in-law held out, I realized a sense of discomfort..
“…uh?”
The right arm was sticking out just fine..
No, rather than saying it has sprouted, it seems to be fine as if it was never injured in the first place..
[Why do you do that?]
“Umm… no.”
First, I got a teacup..
And after savoring the scent, I slowly drank the tea..
Whoop.
…Fourth, the unknown tea that my brother-in-law often gave me gave me the same taste and scent as I remembered..
My brother-in-law prepared only one cup of tea, because he himself does not drink tea..
I thought it was a shame that someone who was so good at tea ceremonies didn't drink tea.…….
I have never seen my brother eat or drink anything..
I glanced at the fourth death penalty.
There were many things I wanted to say and many things I wanted to ask, but what came out of my lips were words that even I didn't expect..
“Even though it’s been a while since I’ve seen you, you won’t take off that helmet.?”
The five disciples of Baek Lu-kwang, the best in the world, are all people with strong personalities.…….
Among them, the one with the most unique appearance is definitely the fourth death penalty..
The helmet was probably made of some kind of alloy I don't know, but on the outside it looked like a shiny material like glass..
In fact, it was dozens of times harder than that, and even artificial light flickered at times..
[I always say this is not a pitch.]
The executioner's voice filled with laughter answered..
Fourth, according to the death penalty's argument, that helmet itself is a face..
So my suggestion is like asking you to show underneath the skin.
At first I thought it was a lie…….
Only once did I see the body beneath the dull, dark cloak of the fourth executioner..
What should I say?…….
If the executioner's face was a helmet, his body was like armor..
Of course, it is an armor that is not overly bulky and has a very compact design..
‘I said my body was made of a machine..’
The most complex machine I know is a clock, but the body of the fourth executioner was incomparably complex..
Perhaps the death penalty was an artificial life form similar to the golem that alchemists created..
Actually, I never asked deeply..
Anyway, our death penalty members lived in different worlds and had a tendency not to think deeply about the past..
“Phew…….”
After drinking a clean cup of tea, my confused head felt much more at ease..
The fourth brother probably gave me the car with that intention..
“So, what on earth is going on? Until just now-.”
[I must have been in your world.]
At the executioner's words, an ominous thought suddenly occurred to me and I said:.
“… Could it be that everything I experienced was an illusion or something? It was just a long dream, but in reality, I was sleeping in the mountain for a long time. Why, in terms of the third death penalty-.”
[Brother, this guy is laughing.?]
“yes, that.”
[That's not right.]
The fourth brother smiled and said.
[I also heard about the death penalty. Master's command to you is also.]
Fourth, the death penalty's voice was inorganic, but it had a quality that somehow calmed the listener's mind..
It'll take a month to feel calm.
For the first time in a while, I became the youngest of five brothers, so I complained..
“…I'm saying this because you're not there, but I thought you might have finally gone crazy..”
The fourth executioner laughed lowly..
“In terms of strength, I think the second sister-in-law was suitable, the third sister-in-law was the death penalty in terms of closeness, and the fourth death penalty was appropriate if you wanted someone who would use any means and methods..”
[That's not wrong. But I also agree with your judgment..]
“yes?”
[You are the right person for the job related to capital punishment..]
I hesitated and eventually sighed..
“In my hometown. I looked into Daesajyeong's whereabouts and heard that he is acting as a demon lord..”
[Devil?]
“They say he destroyed a country..”
[…….]
“Honestly, I'm not sure how things work. I feel like I've been thrown into a huge current that I don't know about, but I can't tell which direction I'm being swept by..”
It was an honest feeling..
So after the regression, I focused only on short-term goals..
To protect the tendons of your arms from the collectors.
Leaving the Jewel Mountains.
Overcoming the checks of the council of elders.
The fourth executioner said.
[Then you haven't met the ambassador in person yet..]
“yes.”
[As you know, Grand Master was a man who did not commit massacre without thought. If such a person destroyed a country... There are two possibilities I can think of.]
I thought I knew about those two possibilities, so I received the death penalty's word..
“Either he was completely crazy, or he had a good reason..”
The fourth brother nodded and said.
[Follow me for a moment.]
I followed the death penalty and left the compound..
The fourth execution went to the edge of a cliff, and it was a place where I couldn't help but feel uncomfortable..
therefore…….
It was the place where Master threw me to send me to the past..
“…….”
As I stood there hesitantly, feeling reluctant for some reason, the fourth death penalty urged me on..
[come a little closer.]
“Umm…….”
I really didn't feel like it, but I had no choice but to go and stand next to the fourth executioner..
Still, I have faith that the fourth death penalty will not suddenly throw me away..
The fourth executioner looked at the scenery surrounded by fog and could not see anything and spoke..
[Yeongsan Mountain. We call this place by that name. But Luan, do you know exactly what this world is like??]
“well…….”
If I tell you what I know about Yeongsan…….
A rocky mountain where it is difficult to find a single blade of grass.
A fog that never disappears all year round.
The areas excluding the mountain peaks are infested with all kinds of evil monsters..
Lastly, it will be the residence of Baek No-gwang, the best in the world..
After carefully explaining the concepts I knew, the fourth brother said:.
[What you said was only the surface of this place. Essentially, Youngsan is Master’s personal space..]
“Perth… what?
[To put it simply, it means that it is the Heavenly World created by the Master himself..]
“…….”
I have never heard such an absurd statement..
Of course, Master - I know that Baek No-gwang, the best in the world, is a great person..
I know, but if it's still enough to create a world,-.
“…Isn't that just God??”
[If the premise of God you think of is creation, then you can call it that..]
“…….”
[Yeongsan is a place located on the outskirts of the space-time area of the general universe. So I also call this place ‘the resting place of time’.]
“Talking is becoming too difficult again.…….”
It was the fourth executioner's habit to frequently say strange words..
Today was especially puzzling.
[Let me explain briefly. You came to the spiritual mountain under the guidance of your teacher, and after 10 years of training, you returned to your original world. Did you return to your original time zone back then??]
“hmm… no.”
Originally, I died at the age of 25, but I was around 15 when I returned after spending time in Yeongsan..
10 years in the existing world and 10 years in Yeongsan.
In terms of perceived time, it is like going back 20 years..
[Those who came here have one thing in common. Those who have no regrets, whether big or small, cannot set foot here..]
“Umm…….”
[It's still the same now. The regret you harbored called you to Yeongsan again. And the Master said. By the time the youngest comes back here, he will have finally acquired the final element of martial arts..]
“The last element of unmanned?”
[desperate attitude.]
The fourth brother pointed at me and said.
[Such a mindset cannot be achieved even with innate nature, golden advice, or hard work..]
“So what do you need?”
[It's an incident.]
“…….”
[Only events that ignite a fire in the heart create a desperate mindset. I think of it as my starting point as a martial artist..]
At that moment, I remembered Master's faint voice..
- As of today, you have entered River Lake..
[You have talent. He has determination and even venom. However, there was no clear and definite goal. He might not show it outwardly, but I'm sure it always bothered Master..]
I said with an embarrassed face.
“I definitely had the mindset of wanting to become stronger. As the death penalty says, if even the best is not enough, you must cling to it with desperate resolve. but… I do not know.”
I remember what I experienced right before I came here..
Dozens of spirits died.
Evan became the head of a small religious sect..
The priest who caused the incident is already dead..
After all those incidents, I realized too late that I was angry.…….
This was truly anger that had no way to go..
Will this feeling be resolved if I kill Evan, the leader of the small cult??
If nothing changes though?
Should I kill the devil next?.
[I don't know.]
“Many people have already died because of me, and what should have been done ended in failure. The emotion of anger is still vivid, but if I let this emotion fuel me, I'll just become a vengeful demon..”
It wouldn't be a bad idea to live like that for a while, but my honest feeling is that I don't want to spend the rest of my life..
[It looks like you've already forgotten what I told you earlier..]
“yes?”
[Luan, think about it. When your training at Yeongsan ended and Master sent you back to your original world, did you return to your original time??]
“that…….”
It wasn't.
At that time, I was not Luan Badnicker, a 25-year-old on the verge of death caught up in the war.,
Returned to life as 15-year-old Luan Badnicker, who was about to have his tendons cut by collector Kayan..
No, wait a minute..
“Then no way…….”
[100Day.]
The voice of the fourth executioner struck my heart heavily..
[This is the time you can stay in Yeongsan. You will complete your training here during that period and return to your world. Going back in time again.]
It was only at this moment that I became fully aware of the power of the divine protection of the sacred mountain..
[You will be given one more chance.]
This was a blessing that could change everything.
