The Hero Disciple Is Back - Chapter 106



105. Instinct, Raw

The king could not understand.

‘What the heck is this bug?!’

It was natural that it was incomprehensible.

Those eyes

Those are the eyes that are ready for death.

In the Demon World, where only those who survive without dying through struggle can obtain everything, the King of Fighting rises to the position of the Four Heavenly Kings after countless struggles in that Demon World.

Of course, he had seen the eyes of those who risked their lives countless times. That was why he couldn’t help but realize it the moment he saw those eyes.

That bug is ready to die.

If you face it with such determination and resolve, there are cases where the results that seemed absolutely unchangeable change by chance. It is not surprising. It is not surprising.

But something strange happened.

Because the eyes he knew were prepared for death weren’t the kind that shined so brightly.

It was rather dark and gloomy. Knowing that I would die anyway, knowing that I would have no tomorrow, I thought, let’s do something… It was a feeling of a bonus. That was why the gaze was dull and gloomy, and endlessly depressed. There was no special feeling or anything special. The gaze that the king had seen that seemed to be risking his life to do something was always of that kind.

That’s why it’s strange.

Even though it is clearly the same thing

The bug’s eyes were neither dull nor gloomy nor insignificant.

Rather, it was shining even more vividly and brilliantly.

As if to illuminate the last moments even brighter

‘This is a bug…? This is a human…?’

Something went wrong.

If it was wrong, it was very wrong.

Such fear of the unknown dulled the keen senses of the fighter. However, he was still the fighter. Even though his senses were dulled, his instincts remained. Can’t use your right arm? Then use your left arm. As his rational senses were dulled, his instincts ran wild, and his body moved according to his instincts without any hesitation.

But that was the problem.

After all, instincts are nothing more than raw things.

Crunch! Crunch!

The sword passed by at the speed of a flash and cut off the king’s left arm.

“Are you ignoring me?”

【Another bug…!!!!!!!!】

There was no way that Geomseong, another person who had been holding back the King of Fighters, would just watch it. The King of Fighters immediately regenerated, but…!

Phew!

【Kuaaah!!!】

No matter how fast it plays, it becomes meaningless if it is cut down just as quickly.

‘Damn it! Because of this bug! But don’t panic!’

He was momentarily in a state of panic and left everything to his instincts, but no matter what anyone said, he was a warrior who had walked the path of Asura. His reason, which had been momentarily paralyzed, quickly returned to its original state.

‘This bug will die anyway.’

I don’t know how he’s holding my right arm, but he’s still dying. He’s going to die. In the end, the grim reaper’s scythe, which won’t be long, will surely pierce that bug’s soul. So there’s no problem. There won’t be a problem.

… No, there shouldn’t be a problem.

That’s how it should be.

At that moment

【Cough!】

The King of Fighters vomited out pitch-black blood, as expected of a demon. And it was the King of Mercenaries who had to take all the blame for it. But even in that situation, the mercenary…

“Heh heh”

He was smiling, as if he had just won a decisive gamble that would put his life on the line.

“It seems like you’re close to immortality… . You guys really can do anything… . Blood can’t be trained… . Hehehe… . Knock knock!”

At that moment, the king realized that the guy had not simply created blood like a knife and stabbed his right arm.

It is ‘infiltrating’.

The blood of the mercenary king who had become a sword spirit was rapidly penetrating and attacking the inside of the fighting king with a sword spirit. The fighting king had trained his body like steel to block the opponent’s attack, trained his mental power to adapt to the opponent’s curse, trained his muscles to not lose to the opponent’s strength, and trained and trained and trained to prepare for all the enemy’s attacks. However, training his blood was something that even he could not have thought of.

There were some demons who controlled with blood like vampires, but they simply used blood as a medium and used it for magic or curses, and did not infiltrate and attack in this way. That is why the King of Fighters was the first to be attacked with blood, and was left in a situation where his insides were torn apart.

【Oh my! This is ridiculous…!】

He tried to somehow use magic to infiltrate the blood inside his body. But there was a problem. A very serious problem.

【What the heck!】

That’s because the blood was made up of black smoke.

Even if all the magic was destroyed, it would take some time in the case of the sword energy. This is because the energy that reached the state of transcendence was that much more concentrated and pure. Furthermore, the real problem was…!

【Coolook! Keuheugh!】

The internal injuries were getting worse because of the fighting between the demonic and black energies in his body. It was literally a war going on inside his body. Every time he collided, he could not help but experience a pain he had never experienced before in his life. It was as if a war was going on in his body, nature itself, and the war was a way to mercilessly destroy nature.

Naturally, the king of the fight had no choice but to feel like dying.

In that situation

Phew! Phew!

“You really are a tough bug.”

【Kuaaak!】

He wanted to win the war as quickly as possible, but every time he did, a terrifying attack would literally cut through his body, breaking his concentration. So, as the King of Fighters, it was a complete taste of death.

‘It’s dangerous! If we continue like this, a nuclear attack…!’

If you are one of the Four Heavenly Kings, you should be able to strengthen your core so that it doesn’t break easily. However, even if there is a small problem with the core, it can cause a big problem. It was the life of the Demon Race itself. That’s why you had no choice but to strengthen it carefully, and unfortunately, in the case of the King of Fighters, he wasn’t very good at such careful work. He literally lived only fighting. Even though he strengthened it in his own way, he had to have limitations compared to the other Four Heavenly Kings.

That was why he couldn’t help but feel fear as the King of Fighters. If the blood imbued with the mercenary king’s sword energy penetrated and reached his core… he couldn’t think of anything but the worst ending.

‘No! Not yet! Not enough! I want to fight more, win more! I want to trample more!’

I don’t want to die.

There’s still a lot I want to do.

I want to realize that I am strong, that I am in a very noble position. For that, I have been loyal to the great heavens, for that, I have become strong, and for that, I have participated in the war. Only for my own ego. Other than that, it doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter how many of my kind die. The young demons, the future of the demon world? What does the future of the demon world have to do with me? Isn’t that what gives me strength, my ego, my soul satisfaction? Isn’t that what can quench the thirst of my greed even a little?

‘I don’t want to die! I don’t want to die! I don’t want to die! I don’t want to die! I don’t want to die! I don’t want to die! I don’t want to die! I don’t want to die! I don’t want to die! I don’t want to die! I don’t want to die! I don’t want to die!’

The king of the fight simply wanted to fight, win, and achieve victory. He lived only for that, and that was all he wanted. That is why death to him was nothing but fear. It was nothing but terror. To him, death was nothing but the end, losing everything at the moment of death.

【I. I can’t die like this! It can’t end here!!!!!!!!】

At that moment, his eyes became dull and gloomy. I can’t die like this. I will survive somehow, even if it means putting my life on the scale. It was a light filled with such determination. That’s why the only thing left for him, the only thing that governed him, was his instincts.

【Die! Die! Die! Die! Die! Die! Die!】

His instincts were screaming. If he could just kill the dying insect that was blocking his right arm just a little bit faster, everything would be solved! That was why he was releasing the magic he had been defending against, gathering all of his magic at once and attacking it.

and

That was a mistake.

He gathered all his strength at once and eliminated the most annoying bug in one go. That simple, raw, instinctive choice was what decided everything.

Because everything was for this very moment.

“… Sword Blood… Opening”

At the same time, bloody thorns burst out from the king’s body, cutting through his flesh and skin.

【Kkaaah!!!!】

No, in a way it looked like a sword.

I just left everything to my instincts

That was the worst outcome for the king.

‘Do it. Do it…! Nuclear! As long as the nuke is safe!’

Even while he was becoming like a hedgehog due to the blood of the Mercenary King that had penetrated his body, the King of Fighters moved and moved again in order to somehow evacuate the nuke safely.

‘Ouch. It’s the left arm! With the left arm!’

He thought that he had to somehow evacuate as far away from his right arm as possible as quickly as possible, so he tried to move the core to his left arm, which was the opposite side of his right arm. Then he thought that he could block the blood of the Mercenary King from infiltrating by storing all the magic in his left arm. As long as the core was safe, it would be easy to return to normal.

but

At that moment, my left arm was cut off.

“Where are you looking? I have your enemy too.”

It would have been better if they had fought 2-on-1 from the beginning. If they had, they would have been able to kill the Mercenary King and the Sword Saint with certainty, even if it meant taking some time. However, the King of Fighters wanted to end it quickly. That’s why he only needed to keep the core intact, so he planned to kill the Mercenary King, who was on the defensive, first, and then make it a 1-on-1 situation, and then quickly kill the Sword Saint.

The problem was that the mercenary king, who had faced the king, could have predicted that the king would think that way. He didn’t see his opponent properly. He just thought that his strengths were absolute superior. That was the decisive reason why he ended up losing a fight that he had a high chance of winning. The next reason was simply his arrogant habit of relying on instinct whenever possible, and that would be the second reason.

【I hate it!!!!! I hate it!!!!!!! I, one of the Four Heavenly Kings, can’t die like this…!!!!!!】

The king screamed as if he was making a last desperate attempt… .

The swordsman who was called the Sword Demon because he would never cut what he decided to cut, the current Sword Master’s sword, did not care about such things at all.

I just cut down what I decided to cut down.

Dismissed!

His sword aimed precisely at the king’s core.

Clang!

The sword spirit of the blacksmith, which contained the momentum to cut down everything, shattered the king’s core into pieces.

Neither a warrior nor someone with special powers granted by the gods

The achievements of two warriors who were born as humans, pursued strength, worked hard, and devoted their lives to martial arts.

It was a result that could be called nothing short of a miracle.

“… Finally… . He’s dead. He really looks good… That son of a b*tch…”

dump!

… and it was one person’s epilogue.
