The Hero Disciple Is Back - Chapter 105



104. Something Someone Has to Do

Phew!

“Ugh!”

One room, one room leads to the door of death.

Even though I was concentrating on defense as much as possible and trying my best to block my opponent’s attacks, I couldn’t help but feel that I was definitely approaching death.

“Ugh!!!!”

Fujijijik!!

Since he was so ignorant and focused only on me, his back was bound to be vulnerable, and there was no way that the swordsman could miss it. Of course, fierce attacks were pouring down, but… .

【Itchy! Itchy!】

Phew!

If the Black Spirit hadn’t been able to take away their nerves even a little bit while unleashing fierce attacks, it wouldn’t have been strange if they had died long ago. What is that monster that doesn’t even blink an eye while being attacked like that and just moves its mouth so well to talk? It’s so monstrous that I can’t help but exclaim in admiration.

‘Well, the old man is trying hard, but… it’s only slowing down time a little.’

Knock! Knock! Knock!

Blood is flowing out.

Like an hourglass falling hard towards the end

‘It certainly seems to be dying. Like the sunset losing its shape to the night…’

It’s amazing to see you having such sensitive thoughts.

‘Can something like this be classified as a revolving lantern?’

Kaleidoscope is usually said to be recalling the past when facing death… but the current self is having a strange feeling and experience that is just as strange.

Even though I’m clearly dying

Towards death, even though the hourglass of one’s life has begun to count down

The fear of death or the thought of death never crossed my mind.

As if he wasn’t afraid of death, as if it were nothing special.

That really wouldn’t be the case. He is a human being, and it’s natural for a normal human being to have a desire to live.

I don’t want to die.

There are still so many things I want to do that come to mind. So I guess I should be afraid of death. That was only natural.

But despite all that, the fear of death never crossed my mind.

“…Why is it really like this?”

I don’t understand.

Phew!

It’s so incomprehensible that I can’t help but laugh.

【Are you saying that you’re crazy? Laughing while you’re dying!】

I find it interesting too.

I’m definitely dying, but I’m still so relaxed. It’s so strange, even though it’s happening to me.

… In fact, it was not that I didn’t know the reason at all.

‘Because it was the best death I could have ever imagined.’

Mercenaries can choose their commissions. However, they cannot choose their own death. They risk their lives to perform commissions in order to receive money, but that does not mean they really want to die while performing the commission. However, it is the inevitable fate of a mercenary to meet death while performing the commission. Many mercenaries have had to meet deaths that they could not choose.

It wouldn’t be strange if he himself had made even a small mistake and ended up like that.

Compared to that

He can decide his own death.

You can move towards death by your own will, by your own choice.

If humans are a series of choices, and if choosing with one’s own will is truly noble freedom, then being able to choose one’s own death with one’s own will…

That’s definitely….

【Please, search for me!!!!!!!!!!!! You little bug!!!!!!!!!!!!!】

Phew!!!

“Phew! Keuk!”

♧♧♧

‘Finally! I finally killed that annoying bug!’

The king couldn’t help but laugh.

Because he had finally managed to put an end to one of the two bugs that had been holding him back.

The Demons can recover as long as their core is not destroyed. But humans are not. Humans do not have such convenient functions. They are not excellent. They are a pitiful and insignificant race that is only good enough. They are such beings that it is only natural for them to be eliminated. It was only natural for such beings to lash out, hold on to each other’s ankles, and annoy each other, and meet such an end.

This can be proven by killing these two bugs, which are classified as the strongest among humans.

【Okay! Now, if I just kill one more…!】

Thinking so, the King of Fighters tried to pull out the arm that had pierced the King of Mercenaries’ abdomen.

That was the moment.

Phew!

【uh?】

He was pierced by something. It wasn’t the blade of another bug that had been attacking him countless times since then. If it had been something like that, he would have been wounded on his back or something. But the wound was… .

His own right arm

It was the right arm that pierced through the mercenary king.

At that moment, the king instinctively felt that something was wrong. But he couldn’t understand it. The instinctive warning, as it were, was just vague and vague. He knew it was dangerous, but since he wasn’t told ‘why’ it was dangerous, the king simply couldn’t figure out what was wrong.

“…hey.”

A dying insect began to vomit blood and speak with its mouth stained with its own blood.

“There is a saying among us humans… . It is said that… . A sword that has reached the state of transcendence surpasses that of magic… . It is like a legend about cutting the sky with a sword…”

What on earth was this dying bug trying to say? What was the meaning behind it? The King of Fighters could not understand it. All he could do was hear the alarm bells ringing in his head that something was seriously wrong.

That’s why he immediately tried to pull out his right arm.

Kwaaak!

【what?!】

He is a fighter.

These are the Four Heavenly Kings of the Demon King’s Army.

Of course, the strength he possessed was so immense that it made the realm of transcendence seem ridiculous. There was nothing he couldn’t break by just squeezing his strength. Of course, pulling out an arm stuck in a bug’s body was a simple task. It was as simple as breathing… If not, it was the kind of thing that was so strange.

It was something that had to happen.

but

He didn’t move an inch.

‘As if my arm had become one with that bug?!’

Even if he was caught in something, he would have to ignore it with his own brute strength and get pulled out. It was a life-or-death battle in the Demon Race where he wouldn’t die unless his core was destroyed… Of course, all sorts of things would happen. Sometimes, his arm would be torn off and he would be hacked to pieces. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that all sorts of things would happen, which was the struggle in the Demon World.

So, whatever it was I was caught in, I had to get out.

That’s how it should be… .

‘It doesn’t fall off!’

It must have been something so eerie that even the King of Fighters could not help but feel an unknown fear.

【What. What is it! What the hell is it?! What the hell is it!】

“I told you… .”

The mercenary king smiled even in that situation where he was certain to die.

“You are the death of me….”

♧♧♧

The mercenary king Balik, he thought and thought.

How can I kill that monster, the Four Heavenly Kings? But no matter how much I thought about it, there was no answer. That side was literally a monster that would recover in an instant even if its arms and neck were cut off, as long as its core was not destroyed. No matter how much I thought about it, there was no answer to how to win against such a monster.

Rather than having such a fraudulent near-immortal ability, if only the strength were weaker… . Since the strength was also formidable, there was no other answer. However, I couldn’t give up.

There was no option to give up.

Someone has to kill that monster. But the most powerful cards in humanity each had a role to play. There was no card that could deal with that king of the fight. So he had to do it himself. If he didn’t do it, no one else would. If he avoided it by saying he didn’t want to die himself, then reality would only head towards the worst future.

So, it is something that you have to do. The reason that humans have been able to exist for such a long time, boasting of such a long history, is because someone has taken responsibility for what needs to be done and carried it out without avoiding it.

He himself had been taught so by his older brother Jade, and he could certainly learn from looking at his manly back.

So this is as an adult

And as Jade’s younger brother

It was a choice that had to be made.

Because it was so desperate

Because I thought it was a duty more important than life

Eventually, the mercenary king was able to reach the answer.

It’s simple logic.

If you can’t kill that monster with your two fists, then you kill it with ‘more’.

And the most abundant thing in humans is… .

It’s blooming right now.

The swordsmanship of the Mercenary King is special. Ordinary swordsmen reach the level of master by putting sword energy into their swords, but he reached the level of master by putting sword energy into his fists, which are his body.

That means….

His swordsmanship meant that he could contain it anywhere within his body. Such images and such structures were possible because of his swordsmanship. It was a unique swordsmanship that only the Mercenary King Balik could do, and that other swordsmen in the realm of transcendence could not do.

That is why he prepared for his death during the given time. He made his death into a weapon. He used even the absolute necessity that is absolutely unavoidable for humans as a tool.

To fulfill the duties that have been given to oneself and that one has set for oneself

“Heh heh… .”

The mercenary king laughs even as he bleeds.

The end is definitely approaching, but that’s why I smile.

It means that your end is near….

From noble mtl dot com

“I die for you… but you die for me.”

The eyes of the mercenary king were burning so fiercely that it was hard to believe they were the eyes of a dying man. It was the kind of desperate thing that made you feel like this fire would never go out until he achieved his goal.
