The Hero Disciple Is Back - Chapter 78



77. They pushed the Master into a corner too much.

“… … .”

Leah was in a bad mood. She couldn’t help but feel depressed.

Sarah absolutely said no, so I could only support her. I couldn’t fight her myself. So I could only watch from behind, and that’s why I could only capture that unforgettable moment with my own eyes.

At the last moment… . The Demon King was targeting her. The Demon King’s magic eye was so great that it could fool even those who were watching through magic. However, even so, she was a perfect race, and there was no way she could be affected by such a magic eye. That was why Leah immediately tried to wake up Sera who was under the magic eye.

That was the first mistake the hatchling had made not long after birth. It was a truly cruel moment that left Leah with a fragment of her miserable past that she could not deny no matter how much she wanted to.

At that moment, the Demon King’s hand disappeared. Leah instinctively realized that the hand was aimed at her. That’s why she tried to respond immediately… But preparing to make Sera wake up from the illusion of the Demon Eye was the very thing that led to her mistake. Even a perfect being can make a momentary mistake, and that momentary mistake can result in the worst mistake. And that was exactly the moment.

Leah was in danger.

Even though she was a white dragon, she had not yet reached adulthood, so just like Sera, her vessel could not be considered to be in perfect condition.

If I had been attacked as is… .

It would have been a long time before she would have had to focus on recovery. That couldn’t have been the worst outcome for Leah, who was still growing.

But the worst did not happen.

There was only the final ending.

A momentary mistake cost him his life.

It’s the world tree.

‘The forest where the main body of the World Tree is located has already been polluted by magic, so the lifespan of the World Tree will not be long anyway.’ He could not dare to make such an excuse. Neither his father nor his mother had ever taught him to be such an irresponsible and arrogant child.

Before that, his lofty pride as a dragon would not allow it.

He made a mistake.

It caused someone to be sacrificed.

All she could do was give her a little time. Before that noble soul completely became a thing of hell, she could escape for a moment and create a dream world. It was all she could do. A favor had to be repaid at any cost.

“… I’m not strong.”

It wasn’t strong.

“…I’m not perfect.”

It wasn’t perfect.

“… I’m not the strongest.”

It wasn’t the strongest either.

Actually, I knew it.

Even if it’s a dragon

He is still a hatchling

Because he was not yet fully grown as a Jackie Chan and was not in a state where he could fully utilize his potential. Even though he could use immense power that was incomparable to that of ordinary races, he was still a child.

But still… .

I thought it was enough.

I am the daughter of my father and mother.

Born with a friend and a special power left by that friend’s god

Because it was the first special white dragon.

Moreover, even though she didn’t know it while she was in the egg state, after waking up, she could do whatever she wanted. She could easily solve problems with the high-ranking demons with her words. That’s why she thought that if she and her mother joined forces, they could defeat even the demon king.

Every time, Sarah just smiled and stroked his head without even trying to figure out why…

From noble mtl dot com

‘…Mom knew.’

But that still isn’t enough.

Hatchling Leah had no choice but to face that fact.

Even though the Hero of Infinite Regression has obtained the Anti-Aura that he so desperately desired, and even though the first White Dragon that has never been seen before has appeared… . And yet, it is still not enough.

I’m angry.

It was the first time Leah had felt anger, but she knew right away that it was anger. Because they were a perfect race. Humans are stupid and forgetful, and they cannot properly diagnose what is happening to them, but she is a perfect race. Therefore, she cannot make such a mistake.

‘I have to become stronger.’

If there’s something you absolutely must protect, then you have to become stronger.

There can be no two mistakes.

Since my pride as a perfect being had already been damaged by one mistake, a second one was absolutely unacceptable.

♤♤♤

Leah seemed uneasy.

Although they tried to hide it from me, parents have special eyes that can see the truth to a certain extent only for their children.

I knew it had something to do with the World Tree.

There are things that you can feel without even saying anything.

That was what a guardian was. The position of a guardian is one where you can see a lot of things and feel a lot of things, knowingly or unknowingly.

I didn’t bother to reveal it.

Just because you are a parent, you cannot and should not interfere with everything. Everything needs time to calm down. If you ignore that, you will never be able to gain any depth. In that sense, parents who interfere too much with their children’s problems and try to give them too many answers only interfere with that time to calm down.

Parents are their children’s guardians and seniors in life. Therefore, most of what their children have experienced has been experienced by their parents, and most of what their children do not know is often known by their parents. However, that does not mean that parents should step forward and tell them everything about it.

It is no different from parents predicting and cutting off the child’s growth and potential. It could be ruining the potential that the child may have created on their own just because they are parents.

‘And there are things I can’t tell that child either.’

I unfolded the leaf in my hand. I had been holding it tightly in my hand when I woke up from my dream. Leaves that had fallen from trees tended to lose their vitality quickly, but this leaf did not lose its vitality no matter how much time passed.

If it was natural, then it was natural.

This is not a normal tree leaf,

Because it was a leaf of the world tree.

Even though she had passed away, she not only left me with a hand to ensure that her blessings would continue after death, but she also left me this leaf as her last.

It’s not just a simple leaf.

This is a kind of mediator.

Through this leaf, I was able to receive some of the knowledge she left behind.

It was information about a certain demon tribe.

It’s not just a demon tribe.

He occupies a place among the Four Heavenly Kings… .

A demon tribe with the name of the tyrant

Escenderos

I couldn’t figure out why they left information about this tribe.

The reasons I can think of are….

‘Is this the enemy I might have to fight in the future…?’

If you think about it simply, it would be like that… .

No matter what anyone says, the opponent was the Four Heavenly Kings.

Of course, it’s not that I’m strong enough to surpass the Demon King… .

However, he was likely to be the strongest being next to the Demon King. And the other name he bore was none other than the Overlord. The fact that the Demon King allowed him to use that name meant that he trusted him and that he was strong.

Fighting with such a being?

I don’t think it will even be a match.

but

That can’t be a reason not to fight.

There is also no reason to completely lose the will to fight.

It was natural that they didn’t like being trampled on just because they were weak.

Even a mouse, when cornered, would rush at a cat and bite it. Therefore, it could be seen as a right for a cornered weak person to try to do something.

‘I don’t know what you were thinking when you left this for me… .’

Perhaps this was not meant to be a fight, but rather a runaway. This guy was telling us to avoid him at all costs. Realistically, that was more likely. It would be impossible for a swordsman who couldn’t even climb over a wall to tie up against the Four Heavenly Kings.

‘But while some rats will rush in when cornered, there are also rats that will try to escape by scratching at the wall until the last moment.’

When you’re cornered, you might bite, but being cornered doesn’t mean you’ll bite unconditionally.

It was something that could have been avoided even at the last moment, and one might have tried to run away without looking back.

I couldn’t do that.

I didn’t want to do that.

Because losing was boring and horrible.

I couldn’t lose anymore.

I couldn’t just watch.

I couldn’t help but do something.

‘I might get scolded a lot by my precious children…’

I’m sure he’d be really angry, but…

I’m also angry.

That’s why I had no choice but to do something.

The only option here is to just sit back and watch.

It had become something my assets could no longer tolerate.

Those guys put me in such a tight spot.
