The Hero Disciple Is Back - Chapter 81



80. The Master Grows

-Can you feel satisfaction and a sense of accomplishment from trampling on ants?

Even if the Demon Tribe is weakened if they cross over to the human world… Staff Adres had prepared thoroughly enough that there would be no problem even if such a handicap were to arise. That is why, if the Demon King had only given the order the moment he opened his eyes, the Demon King’s army would have crossed over to the human world and waged war.

The dragon self-destructed

The Celestials have lost their former glory.

A situation in which the gods cannot step forward

In this situation, no matter how weakened the remaining human forces were, there was no way they could stop the advance of the Demon King’s army that had crossed over to the human world.

However, the order given by the Demon King when he opened his eyes was not to advance.

Instead, he shook his head, saying that it wouldn’t be fun.

And then he said.

Is there any sense of satisfaction, accomplishment, or pleasure in trampling on ants?

Escenderos couldn’t understand.

But I didn’t have any doubts.

Everything is heaven’s will

Everything is as heaven wants it

That is why he beheaded the rebels who questioned and dared to speak out against the will of heaven. Those who questioned the absolute will of heaven were not qualified to be in the Demon King’s army, and were not qualified to maintain their lives as demons.

Escenderos could not understand the will of heaven. But that was no reason to disobey His will or to be unfaithful. Even if he did not understand it, it was only natural for him to be willing to be loyal if it was His will.

So I still couldn’t understand it.

“Ugh!”

… What could you possibly gain by dividing your sword with such a weak human being instead of killing him?

Chae-Ang!

At that moment, a wind attack like a blade created by the wind spirit flew towards him, but it was easily cut off by Escenderos’ sword and was reduced to nothing more than a breeze that blew away in vain.

“Haa. Haa. Haa.”

Man arose.

If it had been possible to use the sword, it would have been a life that would have ended a long time ago, but since it was the will of heaven that he could not kill, the weak human male was able to avoid death.

If it had been his usual self, he would have killed him twenty times already. However, he had to control his strength so that he wouldn’t kill him. As a result, he was only able to defeat the human man five times. That was because he had to be careful not to kill him.

The gap between Escenderos and Jade was that wide.

It was a natural outcome.

No matter what anyone says, it was a fight between a human who couldn’t even overcome the Four Heavenly Kings and a wall.

Rather, it would have been strange if they had fought on equal terms.

The result was not at all strange.

But there was something strange.

“Hoo. Hoo. Hoo.”

Jade’s eyes

It was never the look of a weak person being trampled so cruelly.

Even though he was clearly struggling in vain in the face of overwhelming force, his eyes and his soul had not lost any of their light. There was no way that the tyrant Escenderos, who had walked the darkest and deepest path of Asura, could not have known that.

‘It is indeed as the heavens said, the power of the soul is so strong that it is hard to think of it as something human.’

If you just look at the soul, it was special.

To the extent

Only the soul was like that.

‘If it had been an era overflowing with divine power, then perhaps God himself would have come down and chosen him as a saint, and he would have gained immense divine power accordingly… But in an era like this, there is no meaning to it. No… Should we admire the fact that he has reached a state of the soul with such a brilliant light despite it not being an era like that?’

Just as it is amazing to cut a tree into firewood with your bare hands using an axe, even though it is a convenient tool to chop the tree into firewood, it is amazing to reach that level even if it is no longer of great significance.

If he had been Chief of Staff Address, he might have been impressed and interested. Perhaps because of his outstanding brain, he tended to show interest in special or rare types of talent. However, the Overlord was different. He was only interested in the Overlord, and had no interest in anything else. That was why he could not understand it even more. Why did his great heaven give such an order?

“Eww!!!”

The human man ran towards him again. It was pointless. He had perfectly grasped the man’s strength, movements, and even his breathing. There was no chance that the man could surpass his expectations. It was impossible. There could be no change.

From noble mtl dot com

With that thought in mind, he swung his sword, perfectly calculating the strength, movements, and even breathing of the human male that he had grasped. If he could not block this sword, he would be hit by the sword again and roll on the ground.

Chaeaaang!

‘Blocked?’

Blocked.

It was a sword that was swung after perfectly analyzing and understanding everything about a human male, and it was a sword that was swung at a level one level higher than his realm so that he could never react. There was absolutely no way it could be stopped.

At that moment Escenderos could see.

‘Are your eyes closed?’

Since you can’t follow the eyes anyway, you gave up on sight?

‘That’s nonsense.’

If you don’t have eyes from the beginning, it wouldn’t make a difference if someone who had eyes closes their eyes to sharpen their other senses. Losing one sense to develop another is definitely not something that can be easily achieved. In other words, it’s not something you can do just because you want to.

At that moment, something caught Escenderos’ eye.

‘government ordinance?’

Escenderos didn’t hesitate to ask questions and immediately started checking.

Chaeaaang!

“Ugh!”

Jade, with both eyes closed, blocked Escenderos’ sword again. At that moment Escenderos saw. The spirit had accurately captured the speed at which he swung his sword.

‘… If you can’t see it yourself, are you saying you’ve left it to someone who can?’

I got the answer, but… .

‘Such an absurd thing cannot happen.’

Escenderos couldn’t help but think it was bullshit.

Do you close your eyes and only focus on the information you hear, because you are too focused on what you see when you open your eyes?

It is not a question of possibility or impossibility. The premise itself is absurd in the first place. It is simply entrusting one’s life to another. With one’s eyes closed, one must overcome the fear and dread of being cut repeatedly, and swing one’s sword according to the information one hears without the slightest hesitation. How absurdly ridiculous is this?

Chae-ae-aeng! Chae-ae-aeng!

But the human who actually did it was sharing the sword with himself.

A human who had thought he was no different from an ant until just a moment ago is now talking to himself.

I know the cause.

He surpassed his own expectations by means he could never have imagined.

At that moment

Escenderos is

He recalled the words of his great heaven and his lord.

-Can you feel satisfaction and accomplishment from trampling on ants? You guys are so lacking in joy.

He could not understand until now what the heavens meant by cheerfulness.

But at this moment, what is it?

I felt like I could understand a little bit.

♧♧♧

-Right there! A little further!

The wind spirit named ‘Lin’ by Jade was able to quickly read the movements of the magic. To be more precise, it was able to see through the flow of wind affected by the magic that contained the attack intention of the Four Heavenly Kings Eskenderos in advance, and as a result, it was able to read Eskenderos’ movements a few seconds in advance. By informing Jade of this, Jade was able to respond to Eskenderos’ movements that she had not been able to respond to until a moment ago.

I never expected that Jade would close her eyes while filtering out useless information in the process.

‘That’s ridiculous! That’s ridiculous!’

Even if you can communicate incredibly fast, incomparable to conversation, by connecting thoughts through the special ability of spirits… . Who would close their eyes and leave everything to someone else? If that someone makes even the slightest mistake in judgment, they’ll die right then and there. But Jade does it without hesitation.

‘…You trust me and do this.’

Right now, Lin and Jade are connected in thought and thought. That’s why Lin knows Jade’s thoughts better than anyone else, and she can feel them well. Jade just trusts Lin purely without any doubt. She’s leaving everything up to Lin’s words.

The ground is covered with thorns, and you have to walk forward on a tightrope walkway with your eyes closed, relying only on the voice you hear behind you…

Of course it should fall apart.

It would be normal if you fell down and rolled around in thorns, bleeding profusely.

But that wasn’t happening.

Lin couldn’t help but know that it was because Jade was putting all her strength into it out of absolute faith in herself.

-Ran, support Rune properly!

-I know!!

-Telepathy!

The wind spirits did their best to help Jade, and Jade grew rapidly each time they did so.

♤♤♤

It’s a strange sensation, a strange feeling.

I just close my eyes and do whatever the wind spirit Lin tells me to do.

‘I can see that my level is continuously rising step by step.’

Originally, I was absolutely unable to do anything about the attacks, but by overcoming them together with the wind spirit, I was directly experiencing realms higher than mine one after another at a rapid pace.

Should I say that it feels like I know the correct answer by listening to the answer sheet and at the same time, I feel like I am learning it by experiencing an actual case firsthand?

‘Faster! Faster! Faster!!!!’

Jade was growing up.
