The Hero Disciple Is Back - Chapter 98



97. The Master stands on a battlefield from which he cannot retreat.

“… The wind is bad.”

It is said that the old sages predicted the future by reading the flow of nature, such as the wind. It doesn’t sound like a very credible story… . I thought it was just a ridiculous story that could not be verified as true, like many old stories about goblins catching trolls… . It seems that it wasn’t just a lie.

‘Is it because quite some time has passed since I made a contract with the wind spirit?’

As the days went by, I could feel the wind more and more.

It wasn’t exactly the same as the wise men who could foresee the future by feeling the flow of nature, but… It was just like an ant’s eye… It seemed like he felt something similar. Of course, it could be an illusion.

Don’t they say that even among the strange authors who worship strange gods, there are some crazy people who really believe that they perform miracles? People have an instinct to want to believe that what they feel or do is something special and different from others.

‘But I think I’m pretty good at it… .’

Actually, when I feel this way, my daughter, the dragon, and the two celestials quietly disappeared. They seem to think they hid it well by using all sorts of magic (all kinds of illusion magic, magic that makes you feel a presence, magic that imprints a sense of presence, mental magic that makes you feel naturally, etc.)… . Having interacted with various spirits and been influenced by them, I could feel the change without difficulty.

Oh. Where are they going again?

He said goodbye in his heart, wishing her a safe trip. But only in his heart.

Every time that happened, I felt this ominous wind. So I felt like something was going to happen today too.

Then suddenly a thought occurs to me.

‘You never know where the wind will blow.’

It wasn’t necessarily just Leah who was concerned about what might happen.

okay….

Perhaps it wouldn’t be strange at all if it happened to him.

That’s when I had that thought.

Kuuung!

The mountain screamed.

Even if I didn’t want to know, I couldn’t help but know.

The presence was completely different to that extent. It was as if something black had dripped onto the pure white world and turned it black in an instant… It was as if a giant monster had suddenly appeared in a peaceful world where only herbivores ran around…

An overwhelming presence that dares not be ignored… and an overwhelming, violent, endless, relentless force that forces you to realize the emotion of fear… .

【The ‘Day of Promise’ has finally come, human inspector Jade.】

One of the Four Heavenly Kings with an unforgettable voice

King Escenderos

Completely free from the constraints of magic

The Dark Knight, who appeared in the human world in perfect perfection, was so violent that he was worthy of the name Demon King.

“Hoo”

A sigh came out of his mouth. However, he was not surprised. In fact, it was because he had developed the habit of always carrying a sword whenever he felt an ominous wind. The fact that he never knew where the arrow of misfortune would fly and land was the most absolute truth that a mercenary should know and one who lived in war should keep in mind… . He had carried it because he thought that the arrow of misfortune might be aimed at him.

Srrrrung

Jade drew her sword.

‘I’ve done everything I could to prepare.’

Of course, I wasn’t playing around for this day.

Of course, I had no desire to die.

Of course I wanted to live, so I prepared as best I could to survive.

Before that… .

‘I want to win.’

I just want to be recognized as a winner and be recognized as strong. It is only when I win that I can truly realize deep in my heart that I am strong, because that is the privilege I can receive when I become a winner.

I want to obtain that privilege from that monster who deserves to be called the Demon King. I want to obtain it no matter what.

-Challenge towards the strongest! Isn’t that something that a man should do?

I smiled as I recalled what my younger brother Balik, now called the Mercenary King, used to say. Whenever I heard that, I thought how amazing his simple personality was… . I guess I had that simple side hidden inside me too. At this moment, I could feel my heart pounding with excitement rather than fear.

At this moment, I could clearly understand Balik’s mind, which always sought to fight the strong like crazy.

Because the privilege of the victor who would return the moment he crossed over that wall seemed sweeter than any fruit. I could not help but be convinced that the privilege of the victor who could be felt by crossing a wall like that of the tyrant Escenderos would certainly be sweeter than the golden apples of the legend.

♧♧♧

A historic day when the demons were finally able to use their power properly in the human world.

On days like this

Naturally, he had to lead the Demon King’s army.

That’s why I tried to endure it somehow.

-I grant your permission. Go, my knight.

But the great heaven did not allow it. He did not tolerate it. As a sword bearer, do not lose sight of the direction the sword is pointing. The great heaven commanded him to do so.

That is why the tyrant is standing here now.

More than the duties of a Four Heavenly King

From noble mtl dot com

only

As a swordsman, I follow the direction my soul and will lead.

Standing before the human swordsman Jade.

It’s also the long-awaited promised day

Even though I knew there was a problem in the chain of command,

He made it his top priority to stand in this position.

If the staff and the Four Heavenly Kings saw him, they would nag him so much that his ears would hurt, asking what was wrong with his head, but he wouldn’t even dare to make an excuse.

But it can’t be helped.

It really can’t be helped.

It was impossible for him to dare give up this reality, this joy, this pleasure, this hot fruit of choice that allowed him to vividly feel that he was alive at this very moment. Greed was also one of the essences of the devil.

Once the demons had greed, they could not help but lose everything. There is nothing more unbecoming of a demon than ignoring or suppressing greed. That is why, as a swordsman and a demon who is the very essence of his existence, he is standing here now.

It is his own existence, his own essence, that has made him stand in this place.

【It’s changed…】

It is a very short time for the long-lived demons, and not so long for the short-lived humans.

So maybe it wasn’t strange that he didn’t live up to expectations… But Jade had definitely changed, as if she was going to break his expectations. The spirit he felt from him, the calmness he felt from him, were clearly the kind that only someone who had gone a few steps further than the past could possess.

Got stronger.

His prey has become stronger.

In his long life, the first being that had made him feel such a passionate desire had met his expectations. It was sweeter and sweeter than any moment he had ever felt before. The tyrant could not help but instinctively feel that he would never be able to forget the joy he felt at this moment.

【Okay… Let’s begin.】

The tyrant, holding a sword soaked in a magical energy that was incomparably heavier and more terrifying than before, aimed it at Jade.

【please….】

Don’t break easily

The tyrant disappeared in an instant.

Kwaaang!!!!

Swords clashed with swords.

At that moment, the King’s eyes shone sharply.

The King’s magic was now literally absolute. There was no way that an ordinary human sword and human aura, even a Sword Master’s aura, could withstand the King’s sword.

It’s coming soon….

【The Dragon’s Oath…】

Looking at the Jade Sword, which was bathed in pure white light, the Overlord read its true nature.

The Dragon’s Oath, and it was the White Dragon’s Oath at that. It was one of the powers that only dragons possess, lending their power to that being by sharing a promise, and by using it, Jade was now using the power of the White Dragon.

【As expected…. You are the best.】

The tyrant could truly feel the joy that was born at this very moment and truly fill his inner self.

♤♤♤

‘It’s a bit strange to want to borrow my daughter’s strength as her guardian… .’

As a father, this doesn’t seem right… but I can’t help it. The saying that habits formed at the age of three last until the age of eighty means that people cannot be changed and used. I can’t get rid of the habits and iron rules of a mercenary.

There is no such thing as cowardice or foolishness in battle. What there is is that those who survive are the winners, and those who die are the losers. Not preparing all possible moves and not fighting is cowardly, inadequate, and pitiful in life.

If you want to survive, you have to prepare for any number of moves and use all of them at the moment of crisis to survive.

That is the attitude toward life and way of life that a mercenary should naturally have.

A dirty, pathetic, and wicked man desperately trying to survive and obtain the privileges of the victor.

That’s the iron rule of mercenaries.

“Don’t call me a coward.”

It’s the thing that mercenaries hear the most, and the thing that goes in one ear and out the other.
