I Became God of War’s Youngest Disciple - Chapter 332

Episode 332

Dorothy stopped confronting Verita.

“… … .”

The reason is not because he remembered the rules he had set out, but because what happened now was far beyond his expectations.

‘Root lost?’

The fact itself is not particularly surprising.

Among the ten guardians, Root is the one with the most volatility and the greatest potential for growth.

In other words, the weakest dharma at the present time is also a root.

But if you ask if that means Root is an easy target, then no.

Among the ten guardians, the one with the best physical abilities, along with Verita, was that hunter Aesong.

Besides, the reasons for the defeat are not unconvincing.

An open area without any terrain features is extremely unfavorable for a hunter, and since the opponent is a priest, he cannot use his full power.

But Dorothy knew full well that such excuses were of no use in real life.

‘I’ll give in a hundred times… … .’

Even if Root could be defeated, it would be difficult for Dorothy to decide the matter so quickly.

Even if that kid were an S-class hero, it would be the same.

The youngest guardian can last for at least a few hours, and depending on compatibility, even a day or two.

That would be the case unless the opponent was a monster like the headquarters manager or the Iron Blood.

“… … .”

Dorothy looked at the fallen root.

The body trembles intermittently… … .

The triple strike that he delivered while grabbing my collar hit my brain, heart, and danjeon in succession, causing my internal organs to go wild.

That’s what surprised Dorothy the most.

Because I have never seen anyone else play an instrument so skillfully.

That was the case even with the ten guardians of the law, including Dorothy, or the elite believers, and even the priests of other factions… … .

The only ones that come to mind are two religious leaders.

‘This is unusual. Is he really Delak’s son?’

Dorothy saw a boy with platinum hair.

He’s probably around the same age as Root, but he actually looks like a young man.

With his muscular body and natural brawn, he already looked like a complete warrior.

He barely looked like a boy because his face still had traces of youth and his unusually white skin.

Apart from the somewhat rough impression, the appearance is acceptable even for Dorothy’s aesthetic eye…

That’s not what’s important right now.

“ha ha ha.”

Dorothy burst out laughing.

As a witch, a believer, and even a person with a middle name, if I had to pick the person I least want to be at war with in this empire, it would be without a doubt the Iron Blood Lord.

And Friday Fairy Luan is a young blood who has been showing off her recent achievements to the point of following in the footsteps of the Iron Blooded.

It is still only famous among some guilds that are sensitive to rumors, the imperial family, and Heros… … .

It won’t be long before the entire empire learns of the nickname “Fairy of Gold.”

‘Let me take a look at your hands first.’

Dorothy licked her lips.

I was convinced that if I left this little guy alone, he would soon become a nuisance.

Insurance for the one in a million case… … .

It seemed like a good idea to put one magical restraint on them for obedience, brainwashing, and oppression.

It doesn’t matter if the other person is a priest.

Dorothy is not attached to the status of a law-abiding person. That too is just one of the many faces she has.

But Dorothy didn’t do that for two reasons.

First, this boy’s origin is none other than Badniker.

Another one is… … .

– Don’t touch Luan Badnicker.

‘okay.’

If it’s an order from our dear leader, I’ll be happy to follow it.

Not yet, that is.

***

Dorothy seemed like a woman with many thoughts, just like a wizard.

Even though the outcome was clearly decided, he didn’t say anything and just thought about it for a long time.

In the meantime, I recalled the sensation I had just felt.

‘It seemed like we had a pretty good fight… … .’

I still think it’s difficult to use it freely unless it’s a special occasion.

Just like when I fought Hiiro, my method of hiding the power of my Flame First Strike was also blocked.

Because Behemoth’s instrument was much darker than the power I had handled at that time.

So, there are two cases where you can use the Amcheonwolhyanggeuk.

One. When you only have really trustworthy people around you.

Two. When you are confident that you can kill all the witnesses.

Dorothy looked at me for a while and then smiled.

It’s a face that looks like it’s been calculated. Of course, I don’t know what the calculation was.

“Who taught you how to play an instrument?”

“I studied on my own.”

“That’s a funny joke.”

“Does this sound like a joke? In the first place, who is there around me that I can learn from?”

Then close the snout.

There is no room for refutation.

The church members around me are at best Veritas, but my musical instrument skills have already surpassed that level.

There has to be a limit to what a fool can do. It is impossible to surpass that level after only meeting Verita for a few months.

“Hmm. Well, okay. Even if you’re actually ignoring it, I don’t have the right to press you further. I’ll keep my promise.”

Dorothy snapped her fingers, and Root’s body, which had been lying down, slowly rose to the surface.

Are you just leaving like this without saying anything?

On the one hand, I feel fortunate,

“Oh, by the way. The leader asked you that.”

“What is it?”

“When on earth are you coming?”

“… … .”

By the way, I told you to meet at Setitus.

I also have a lot of questions about Leone… I briefly thought about my future plans and then answered.

“I’m so busy with construction that I don’t have much time. Could you tell him to come to me in person if he needs anything?”

“aha.”

Dorothy smiled, perhaps mockingly or not, and waved her hand.

“See you later.”

And then it disappeared in an instant along with the root.

“That crazy bitch… … .”

Verita, who was about to say something, looked at me and changed her words.

“… No, please don’t pay attention to what Sister Dorothy said. As long as this Verita exists, it’s rare for us to meet other guardians.”

“I see. But did you really go there?”

“Yes. I left.”

“hmm.”

Since it’s Verita’s word, you can believe it.

Only then did I let out a deep sigh, letting out some of my tension.

“Did you see her eyes? She seemed to be thinking about how to cook me until the very end. She seemed like a pretty dangerous woman.”

“Sister Dorothy has the most identities among the Guardians. Just to name a few, she is a Guardian of our church, a member of the Abnaham Witch Coven, and a member of Middle Name. Even the leader does not fully understand how many other identities she has.”

“aha.”

“By the way, brother, when on earth did you become so strong?”

“I spent a hundred days that felt like one day.”

“yes?”

“It means that you have had your own enlightenment.”

“ah.”

Verita made a face of understanding at the excuse I blurted out without thinking, and looked at me with her eyes sparkling brightly.

“As expected, you are a priest.”

“… The gilding is too much?”

“That’s not true. How can you overwhelm Brother Root so much? Even with my own two eyes, I still can’t see the level of realm you have achieved.”

“It doesn’t seem like a proper defense.”

“Even so, it is a proper Dharma protection. Besides, Brother Root’s power is best displayed in areas other than this all-out war.”

That’s true.

In the first place, he fought a hunter head-on, and he was also a guy who absolutely lacked experience in sparring with people.

I thought that the next time I saw it, it might be at least twice as strong.

Then I just have to become three times stronger.

Then Verita spoke with a somewhat dark face.

“But brother, sending those two back just now wasn’t a good thing for you.”

“why?”

“Those two would have been able to fully carry out the duties assigned to me. In fact, since there were two of them, they could have assisted the priest in a much more active and efficient manner than I could.”

I laughed out loud at those words.

Because it was something that only a guy who really didn’t know one thing and didn’t know two things could say.

“No, no. You’re what I need.”

“That is.”

Verita hesitated slightly at my words, then swallowed dry saliva for some reason.

“…Does that mean it has to be me?”

“I told you so.”

Not only was Dorothy, whose plans I had no idea about, not even Root, whom I had subdued, not in her right mind.

In comparison, look at Verita.

She’s a crazy bitch who sometimes loses her mind depending on the situation, but that won’t happen as long as she doesn’t cross the line.

Above all, since it had been a while since I had met Verita, I was slowly getting used to this guy’s monstrous way of thinking.

But here we are again being asked to accept a new law and to be educated from the beginning?

I can’t do that, not even for the sake of my peace of mind.

Verita smiled as if she was seeing him for the first time.

“Well… … If that’s what you want, brother, then there’s nothing we can do. I will offer my advice to the cult leader.”

“Okay. Anyway, let’s sort out the situation first.”

“What’s the situation? What’s going on?”

“Yes. It’s a big deal.”

I said, looking at Verita.

“Please help me.”

***

After explaining the situation to Verita and returning to the village, it was almost midnight.

It was too late to do anything else, so I just washed my hands, brushed my teeth, and went straight to sleep.

And the next morning.

While eating with Mir, whom I hadn’t seen in a long time, I found out that there was an unexpected person in this village.

“…the warden of the Utgard concentration camp?”

Mir was moving his jaws excitedly, clinging to a piece of meat that was almost as big as his face, his plump cheeks looking like a squirrel’s.

Mir said as I watched him chew the meat quickly.

“Was he a guard, or a warden…? Anyway, I saw him talking to my father since yesterday! The other heroes of Heros were there too, and… they were talking about something difficult, like a cult member or something.”

Mir shook his head.

“Even if I listen, I don’t really understand.”

“When are you going?”

“I heard you were leaving before the sun sets today.”

Then it is natural that you did not encounter me before the regression.

If it were up to me, I would have arrived in this town sometime tomorrow.

“hmm…….”

I rolled my head for a moment.

The decisive reason I joined the Corrupted was because of that Utgard concentration camp.

To be precise, I’m talking about the riots and disasters that occur there.

Of course, there is still time.

About 4 months as of now?

‘but…….’

A major event that never happened in my past life has already occurred.

The Order of the Golden Horn was once greatly disturbed by the remains of Ymir.

Even though each religious group is independent of its faction, they are interconnected to some extent.

When something this big happens, it’s only natural that changes will occur.

‘What a perfect coincidence?’

It was time to find out what the situation was in Utgard.

I stood up and asked.

“Where is the warden now?”

“Huh? Want to meet up?”

“Just to see your face.”

“Hmm… … . It’s probably in Heros’ temporary residence, but it won’t be easy.”

“why?”

“Because he was a cold and difficult person to deal with. When other seniors talked to him, their faces would turn red and they would yell.”

It means that the voice has become louder.

It certainly doesn’t seem like a good atmosphere to talk about…

“I see. Thanks for the advice. I’ll take care of that.”

“Okay! Cheer up!”

Mir nodded.

***

“But that doesn’t mean we can hand over all of our followers to Utgard!”

“Not all the church members. I said we are asking for 90% of the church members.”

“Ha! That’s it! If it’s 90%, isn’t it the same as everything?”

“This is a statement that raises doubts about the intellectual level. How can 90% be the same as the whole?”

“Are you trying to joke around with me right now?”

“Well, I don’t know who’s nitpicking right now.”

“This author… … !”

“… … .”

Even before entering the tent, I could sense that the atmosphere was ominous.

The heated voices going back and forth somehow create an atmosphere that makes it extremely difficult to enter.

Chook.

Of course, I’m not the type of guy who really checks the mood, so I just went into the tent.

“uh?”

All eyes were immediately drawn to it.

There were a number of people standing around a fairly large table, and the faces of those on the left looked quite familiar.

‘Then that one is Heros, and the guys on the right are… … .’

I narrowed my eyes slightly.

What should I say?

They have a very different impression from the guards I know.

Even though it was a tent, the inside was quite warm, but these people were wrapped up tightly, not even taking off their thick coats.

Gloves, a hat, and above all, a mask.

Is it made of metal?

It has a strangely shiny material and no parts that can be called eyes, so I don’t know how you can see outside.

‘They’re not guards, they’re the ones who seem to be criminals.’

I said that, hiding my thoughts.

“Am I a little late?”

“ah…….”

Jack glanced at me, then quickly realized my intention and nodded.

“You’re finally here. Come here.”

As expected, you’re a top-class hero. You have great taste.

As I quickly moved to Jack’s side, the heroes nodded with happy expressions and made way for me.

Then I saw the guard standing in the very center on the other side.

He was a creepy man with a strangely smiling pattern carved into his face.

I smiled with a similar expression and said.

“Can you briefly explain the situation? As you can see, I just got here.”

“Nothing much. Just trying to do what Utgard needs to do in this North.”

“… … .”

You could have just told me. Do you have to lump it all together like that?

Just as I was starting to feel slightly annoyed, one of the heroes approached me and whispered in my ear.

“… You know the followers we captured during the recent Imir incident? We at Heros are currently holding them all as prisoners, but they suddenly barged in and demanded that the followers be transferred to the Utgard concentration camp.”

“… … .”

Only then did I realize what was happening, but the absurdity only grew.

So, in this disaster in the North, those who had not helped or been involved in any way came belatedly and demanded that the believers be handed over.

‘Are they crazy?’

The captured believer is Heros’s servant.

It means that those who are here now and those who have already died have risked their lives to achieve this.

The very act of asking them to move their new recruits was already an insult to them.

First of all, since I was also a hero of Heroes, I couldn’t help but look at these guards with a somewhat crooked gaze.

“Is that absurd demand the will of all of Utgard?”

“Yes. But I don’t think I’ve heard your introduction yet. Are you an S-class or something?”

The man in the smiling mask standing in the center asked.

It seems that the heroes are puzzled by the strange way they treat me.

“It’s a B-class.”

“… … .”

“Are you the head of Utgard or something?”

“Sorry for the late introduction. I’m Thomas. I’m the head of the department at Utgard concentration camp.”

Now that I look at it, it was the owner of the businesslike voice I had heard before entering the tent.

‘If you’re the head of the department… aren’t you the second in command at the Utgard concentration camp?’

There was a reason why the impression and spirit were so impressive.

Anyway, it was a very stiff voice, and it didn’t match the impression of the mask at all.

Thomas said.

“I know this is a bit too much to ask. However, please understand that this is a request that is also considered to be a consideration for you. I know how much effort you have put into this northern region for about a month after the disaster. As a person living in this land, I also feel grateful. However, the believers are bombs that could explode at any time. I cannot leave them in a place like this without guards and iron bars… without even the minimum control.”

“… … .”

It wasn’t a completely unreasonable statement.

At that moment, a somewhat crooked voice came out from among the guards.

“Aren’t you the one who didn’t accept the result in the first place?”

“Results? What results?”

When I looked at the heroes, their faces were frozen hard and their mouths were shut. They even avoided anyone whose eyes met theirs.

Then the young man opened his mouth and continued to grumble.

“Last night, Heroes and our side each had a representative fight. We decided that whoever won the fight would take the prisoner. Your side had a magician named Jack, and ours had the department head. The match was decided in an instant-.”

“Altua, stop.”

“sorry.”

The man named Altura closed his mouth.

Thomas spoke again.

“To summarize the situation, it’s like this. The winner was clearly decided, but the mistake was that we didn’t set a precise number of followers to be escorted in advance. We naturally assumed that most of the followers would be taken, but Heros didn’t seem to think so.”

Now I truly understand the cause and effect of things.

It was a development that made me sigh, but as I listened, I came to understand Utgard’s position to some extent.

Of course, to some extent, and the fact that they were fundamentally being rude did not change.

“But isn’t that a bit fatal?”

“Fatal?”

“It seems like the department head is the strongest on your side, but the strongest on our side is not Senior Jack.”

“I know. But I heard that Cheonpung Knight Feed was unfortunately killed in this operation.”

“Aren’t you talking about Senior Feed?”

“… … .”

But since these weak-reacting guards just stared blankly, I had no choice but to start lacquering my mouth.

“A key figure in the operation to recover Ymir’s remains and the youngest B-class hero, but a man whose skills are comparable to or greater than those of A-class heroes. The most active Youngblood and the youngest member of the Corrupted… … .”

I pointed at myself with my thumb.

“I’m talking about this Luan Badniker.”

“… … .”

In the midst of the uncomfortable silence, applause was heard from somewhere.

On the tent side, Verita was standing there, applauding with a moved expression.

“Thank you, thank you.”

I responded to the applause like a firework, then looked at Thomas.

“Luan Badnicker.”

Thomas asked with a somewhat surprised voice.

“…Are you perhaps the Golden Fairy Luan? The youngest child of the Iron Blood Lord?”
