The Hero Disciple Is Back - Chapter 95
94. Surviving without dying means you can become stronger
Kuuung!
Having barely escaped the hell of headbutting by blowing away the mercenary king by exploding his magic, the fighting king felt more pain than the pain of his broken forehead, or the terrible pain from the internal injuries caused by not being able to properly control his magic while hastily gathering and exploding it…!
“Ugh!”
The mental pain caused by the humiliation left him unable to properly hold onto his senses.
It’s humiliating.
This is a blatant and pathetic humiliation.
He is barely human!
Even if you are under magical suppression!
It was no exaggeration to say that his body, a work of art that he had trained for his entire life and had proudly built up throughout his life, had now been horribly damaged by that human.
‘It was just a head-butt!’
If it had been something that transcended human limitations and wounded his own body, it would not have been humiliating or anything. That would have been the result of a noble ritual in battle. But this is not it!
There is no way such an ignorant act can become a noble ritual!
That shouldn’t be the case!
So this can be neither more nor less than humiliation!
It’s literally humiliating!
It is a horrible experience, no different from being filthy from head to toe with someone else’s waste, and it is a situation where you cannot help but feel that way.
“Eeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!”
The moment when he felt such extreme humiliation that he felt like his soul had fallen into a filthy cesspool… . At that moment, the king could clearly realize that he could not even think of any curses. There was nothing he could do but scream out his anger.
At that moment, a change occurred in the king’s body.
Boom! Kwack! Boom! Kwack!
His muscles began to tremble, then turned bright red and began to expand at the same time. His muscles, which were already large to begin with, were further accelerated by the magic, causing his body to swell to twice its size in an instant.
Originally, his huge size was now incomparable to that of a monster. Not only was his size large, but the magic and murderous energy felt from his body had also been amplified several times. He had become a monster who was the very embodiment of violence, capable of making people kill just by existing.
The King of Fighters looked at the King of Mercenaries, with the appearance of a monster that was clearly a demon to anyone who saw it.
【…Die.】
At the same time hearing those words
Balik recognized.
The speed at which the sound reaches your ears
The speed at which the King of Fighters reached in front of him and swung his fist
That means there was almost no difference.
Kwaaang!
Each and every punch was no less than the level of great magic that was created by a bunch of wizards gathering together and pouring out all their magical power. Even though I was clearly guarding, I was blown backwards like a scarecrow caught in a storm.
From noble mtl dot com
“Ugh!”
My left arm, which was guarding, ended up cracked. Even though I had made it as hard as steel with Aura… .
‘No, in this case, was the problem that it was made as hard as steel?’
That side is harder, but they tried to make it harder to defend it in that state… It was like hitting a rock with an egg… That looked too weak, so it was like hitting a rock with a stone.
‘If I hadn’t guarded in the first place, my left arm would have been crushed like a piece of flour dough…’
But it was clear that it wasn’t the best choice.
then….
What should I do?
‘Is there only one answer?’
It’s ridiculous, but… .
I have to do it.
Otherwise, there will be nothing but death.
♧♧♧
‘If it was the Demon World, I could have ended it for sure.’
If he had attacked just a moment ago in perfect condition, he would have blown half of that human’s body away. However, due to limitations, he was unable to fully unleash his power and was unable to achieve that result.
‘It’s humiliating!’
Limitations are no excuse.
Because he is a fighter.
Because he is one of the Four Heavenly Kings acknowledged by the Demon King, the Four Heavenly Kings.
It is unacceptable for him to show weakness in battle just because his strength is somewhat limited. He can never make excuses. He must be perfect in battle. In battle, it is a natural and promised development, a predetermined fate, that his enemy will be trampled by his fists. That is his fate.
Because it is a noble duty that the great Heavenly Demon King has assigned to him.
【No more coincidences!】
Kill them with all your might.
Not allowing even the slightest chance
It brings death in the name of absolute necessity.
The king of the two raised his power with that determination.
【Kuaaah!!!】
The king shouted and said
It’s gone.
“… … !”
Even though I was clearly watching
Even superhuman body vision cannot track it
The speed of light
It is not an exaggeration to say that the King of Fighters called it a full-force attack that he could never avoid.
The speed of light is so incredible that it transcends the realm of speed that can never be tracked by the senses.
Kwaaang!!!!!!
At the same time, a single punch was enough to make the mountain scream.
At a speed that can never be avoided
A power that absolutely cannot be killed
The King of Fighters achieved the perfect conditions that made death inevitable.
It must have been so.
【Why… . Why… . Why are you still alive and well!】
The enemy who should have definitely died
He stood there calmly.
And then Balik, who had made a face that made you really angry by flaring your nostrils, blew air out of his nose and said.
“I guess you were slow, huh?”
And then he even picked his nostrils as if he was having fun.
♧♧♧
The mercenary king Balik, who even digs his nostrils
What is the truth?
‘Fuck. I almost died.’
He was actually really tight inside.
How did he manage to dodge so perfectly and get away unscathed?
I just hit it. I literally left everything to chance. I gambled and it worked. That’s exactly what it felt like.
‘To be more precise, I put everything on the line with my senses.’
He had been very perceptive from the beginning, and after he entered the realm of a superhuman, he was able to sense the future to some extent, although not to the extent of precognition. That was why he had bet everything on that sense. Just as a fortuneteller holds a bead and diligently recites strange spells, he had also bet everything on the bead called his sense, hoping that it would show him the future.
Although I didn’t see a clear future… I had a thrilling intuition that said, ‘I feel like I should do this,’ so I just gave myself over to the flow.
in result….
… survived.
But honestly… .
‘… It’s a coincidence.’
I felt something and just went with the flow to avoid it, but… I knew because I experienced it once. This was just a guess. Just like guessing on a test question and getting it right doesn’t mean you have any skills, what I did this time was the same. I was able to have an intuition this time, but the possibility of that intuition happening again next time is… .
That’s why it was a bluff.
Picking your nose
‘I’m really relaxed right now.’ He was saying that. If he didn’t show off like that, his nervousness would show through. He couldn’t help but let the cold sweat drip down his forehead, so anyone could tell that he was showing off…
【Kuaaah!!!!!!】
The King of Fighters, who had already blown his reason far away, was so full of such emotions that he could not make a proper judgment. Because of that, he did not realize at all that the opponent in front of him was bluffing. He simply thought that the opponent had perfectly dodged his full-force attack and was furious at that. The attack was so perfect that he could not even think that it could have been a coincidence, and since he had dodged it so perfectly, the King of Fighters could not help but conclude that the human in front of him would be able to continue to dodge his attacks. The King of Fighters concluded that it was such a perfect evasion that he could not believe it was a coincidence.
【… I was detected.】
The Four Heavenly Kings died not in the human world but in the demon world. If the White Dragon, the Celestials, and the Warriors unite, even the Four Heavenly Kings will be in danger. Knowing this, the King of Fighters could not ignore the huge presences approaching at a rapid pace.
I want to fight, but… .
This was not a place where he could die. It was not a battlefield where he could fight while burning his life. This was because he had not received such an order from the Demon King.
【name….】
“what?”
【Say your name! Human!】
“I am the mercenary king Balik.”
【That name… I don’t remember… Next time, I’ll make sure to kill you.】
With those words, the King of Fighters turned his back, and with that, his figure completely disappeared from the human world.
“… is it gone?”
I could tell it was gone because I could no longer feel its overwhelming presence… .
“… It’s gone, right?”
The mercenary king, who checked several times to see if it was true that he had disappeared, soon… .
dump!
“Wow… I survived….”
He was lying on the ground, taking deep breaths, and making sure that he was alive.
“… survived. That means… .”
You can become stronger.
Even though his face was a mess of blood and sweat
The mercenary king smiled with satisfaction.
