The Hero Disciple Is Back - Chapter 128



127. Glory

‘It’s becoming pure white… .’

The demon that made up your existence is losing its color. It is literally becoming a blank sheet of paper, pure white. When the thing that made up your existence loses its color, it means that your existence itself is being damaged.

‘I see. Is this death…?’

It’s painful.

It was so painful that I felt like snapping my own neck with my own hands… It was not that I didn’t feel pain. But this was far beyond the level of pain, beyond the level of sensation. It was as if my entire soul was being torn apart… It was as if my very existence was being erased…

‘Isn’t this it?’

In the endless regress, I gave up and gave up again, but in the end, I met my end with the help of a warrior who stood up with the power of fate. Isn’t this enough? Isn’t this enough?

Finally, we have reached the destination we have longed for… .

… … .

… Ah… . Okay… .

This won’t do… .

The end should not leave anything behind… .

Just because it was painted white by someone else doesn’t mean it was completely emptied. It was just painted over. It was just dirty by someone else’s hands.

cleanly

It needs to be completely emptied

Must reach blank

This could truly be called a perfect ending.

Isn’t that so, my knight?

When there is a blank space with nothing left

Wouldn’t it finally be filled?

therefore

It’s still not enough.

♧♧♧

His white hair, which had turned pure white, sways.

Sweat drops fall without mercy.

Literally

It’s blank.

There is nothing left.

He unleashed a blow with all his might, burning everything and pulling everything out.

‘There is nothing left…’

The concept of death was given.

The Demon King who cannot escape the fate of mortality

…then it would have been destroyed for sure.

It was so certain that I couldn’t help but have such confidence, and it was so completely blank that I couldn’t even feel a single regret.

Yeah, it’s over.

It’s over, of course… .

“yet….”

“… … ?!”

“It’s not over… .”

In the place that had been completely obliterated by the flames of the dawn, a dark aura appeared again.

that….

It was no different from a candle going out.

Certainly the concept of death was put into proper operation.

He was clearly dying.

But it wasn’t yet.

His heart, the beating of his great being, has not yet stopped.

As the concept of death came into play, and the fate of mortality was instilled, the vessel of Gran’s existence broke and the magical energy continued to leak out. The vessel that perfectly controlled the power of the end was cracked. His power would continue to diminish and eventually he would meet death. It was only a matter of time.

but….

‘Move…! Please…!’

The worst difficulty was that the time was the most serious and fatal problem.

The warrior had no more strength left. Even the blessing of the saint who had staked his soul on it was gone. The holy sword also had its core cracked due to having repeatedly drawn out its prime power.

All I need to do is buy some time

After a little more time passes

That will do

The warrior was completely blank, so there was nothing he could do.

‘… If that thing goes out here… .’

There is only one place he can die.

The moment he left this small world, the mortal fate bestowed upon him would disappear in an instant like a mirage.

I wondered if the guy who sang that he wanted to die would escape this world where he could die… . Can a person who falls into water stay still? I don’t know. All rational judgments may evaporate due to the survival instinct, and only the survival instinct in the moment may move. I cannot ignore that possibility.

‘It has to end here! Here!’

dump!

but

Reality is… cruel because there are things that cannot be achieved with just the mind, will, or strength.

This is a body that has already broken through its limits several times in a row.

That’s why it’s a complete blank space.

She had completely exhausted everything she had, to the point where it would literally be impossible to do anything else even if a miracle occurred.

‘Please… body… .’

No matter how much I pleaded and begged, my exhausted body could only scream.

That was when.

Ok!

A warm sensation touched her shoulder.

“That’s enough. Leave the rest to me.”

“S… . Master…?”

Sarah looked at Jade in disbelief. But even if she couldn’t believe it, reality was reality. Nothing changed. No matter how much she denied reality, reality was fixed.

Jade smiled.

Wrapping it up with a smile to reassure, that is also the role of an adult.

♤♤♤

As expected, it turns out like this… .

It happened as expected.

Sera was exhausted before the Demon King.

In a way, it was natural.

One side is literally saying, “die!” and the other side wants to survive. There are cases like that in war. There are people who have no will to live but strangely live well, and there are people who have an overwhelming will to live but die in vain.

So, as a veteran mercenary, you should be able to anticipate that when a guy who wants to die fights a guy who wants to live… the results can be completely different.

“… But even so, even though his death is certain, it’s hard to see him fight.”

Even though the bowl is broken and the time of death is definitely approaching

The Demon King was ready to fight.

I was trying to struggle with life.

It’s not that I don’t understand.

Fight until the moment your heart stops.

Because that was a natural instinct as a swordsman.

okay….

What is before me now is no longer the ultimate magical being, nor the great heaven of the Demon World, and of course it is absolutely not the end of the world.

What I have in front of me now is

okay….

A swordsman, life is just a soldier on the battlefield.

Because my heart was pounding without stopping

Still standing on two legs

holding a sword

Just like that

An ordinary battlefield is just a stage with soldiers standing on it.

“… You came after all.”

Even his voice has changed from when he was the Demon King.

It was a voice that seemed to have lost, or rather, put down, a lot.

Just being there as one being, just being with one heart, just being that.

I could definitely feel that it was something like that.

“You were expecting this, weren’t you?”

“I had a feeling this was going to happen.”

“So, I think I was chosen as the actor to decorate your last stage with you. Do you like it?”

“It is more than enough. Swordsman who decorated the end for my knight. If your sword can decorate my end, I can say with certainty that there is no ending more perfect than this.”

“What an honor.”

“Then let’s begin. We don’t have much time.”

“I would like to waste time talking, but… that would be rude to someone on the battlefield.”

It is not a matter of giving false hope to those who are already dead and will surely die, but of giving them a definite ending. It is the manners of the battlefield. Full of the smell of blood… . You may ask how such a thing can be considered manners… . But those who have been on the battlefield know. The pain of dying, the fact that there is no way to recover from such a situation… is truly a living hell.

So, it would be polite to just end it. Since you are in a position to understand their situation even a little, you have no choice but to be polite about ending it.

Nothing changes just because I exist.

Just a moment ago, it was the sky of the Demon World, and the end of this world… .

Now I am just a soldier falling on the battlefield.

“Okay. Let’s end this. You are just a soldier who has met your mortal fate on the battlefield of life, neither the sky nor the end nor anything else. This is your end!!”

“Just finish it once. Decorate my last moments to your heart’s content!!!”

♧♧♧

Phew!!!

“Cough!”

The Demon King felt the sensation, or rather the pain, of the world stopping for a moment. Jade’s fist landed precisely on his jaw, shaking his brain. The broken vessel, his current body, had gradually fallen in level, becoming no different from a human.

‘I never thought I’d put my sword down here…!’

The warrior’s master is a swordsman. So there’s no way he’d put down his sword. Above all, no one would do something so crazy as to give up their weapon in front of him. That’s why he never expected Jade to put down her sword at this moment, and so he ended up allowing her to strike with a simple but sure punch.

From noble mtl dot com

“Fighting is a basic skill for mercenaries!!!”

… and it wasn’t just crazy.

Kwajik!

That fist wasn’t just a human fist. It was a fist that contained the shadow and power of a past hero. It was a weapon perfectly suited to further damage a broken vessel.

“Ugh!!!”

“It’s not over yet!”

Phew!!!!

“Cough!”

The Demon King knows the concept of these things.

dogfight

Soldiers’ struggle to survive on the battlefield

Pick up stones and throw them, throw dirt in their eyes, and kick their groin.

I knew it as a concept.

But I never thought I would experience it myself.

no….

Chaenggrang!

Phew!

…I didn’t know I would end up doing it myself.

“… Cool! Your fist is so spicy.”

“Even if it has become weaker, it cannot be weaker than a mere human fist, right?”

“Wow. The food is so tasteless. Then try this too!”

“… … !”

Who would have thought you’d bring dirt in your pockets!

It wasn’t at a pure level like Yong-ui-do-ham, but rather at a dirty level that was even petty!

Originally, even if a mere sand had entered, there shouldn’t have been any problems… but with his current body weakened to the level of a human, this could only temporarily cause damage.

There was no way that veteran mercenary Jade would miss that opportunity.

Phew!

By surprise attack

I rushed straight to the abdomen with my whole body.

Bang!!

Just knock it down.

Take advantage of the position and swing your fist.

Crunch! Crunch!

The dishes are breaking more and more

Magi breaks away from him without mercy.

It’s dangerous.

I might die like this.

At that moment, he felt impatience and urgency. It was natural. Impatience and urgency are very natural for mortals. It was a very natural feeling for someone whose life has an end. It was something he could feel right now, at this moment.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Even in a situation where you are losing magic at a rapid rate

I forcibly gathered it together and made a play with it.

I tried to make fire, but it didn’t work very well.

Because of the weakened vessel, I couldn’t control it as I wanted. But this is enough!

Hwaaang!!!

“Eww!!”

I just threw it towards my eyes.

Just like when you sprinkled dirt on your eyes earlier, shouldn’t you learn and apply what you’ve learned? If you can apply it, that’s good.

The Demon King took advantage of the gap left by the sudden smoke eye attack to attack and escape the crisis.

“A dogfight… I can’t believe it…”

The Demon King muttered as if he was dumbfounded and frustrated.

Veteran Jade laughed heartily at such a demon lord.

“That is the ultimate survival. Come, Demon King. This is our world.”

“… … .”

The Demon King closed both his eyes.

Heart palpitations

A sense that every human being naturally knows

It was a feeling I couldn’t quite understand.

Now, at this moment, I could clearly understand.

Do humans live while feeling this good?

They are truly enviable beings.

I can live my life feeling this good and enjoying it to the fullest until the moment when I stop feeling this good.

They are blessed beings.

And in their world

for the first time

Even at the last moment

He was also able to enter.

“It is truly an honor.”

Sky of the Demon World

The strongest realm

The end of the world

The being who was in that position described it as ‘glory’.
