Episode 347

Can I really defeat the Iron Blooded One?

Although he had become quite strong through various training sessions, coincidences, and incidents, he still could not seem to win against the Iron Blood Demon.

…if it’s ‘Iron Blood’.

The opponent you are fighting now is not the Iron Blood Lord, [the Nightmare of the Dark Church], [the Charisma of the Great Family], and [the Strongest Hero].

Delak Badniker, a boy born with tremendous talent but who has yet to fully develop it.

“Hmm… … .”

Assad is leaving.

I lay down on the bed, dressed as usual, lost in thought.

On the one hand, it was an analysis of Delak’s current power, along with the useless thought that the chandelier hanging from the ceiling looked somewhat funny.

“Even if the brain gets smaller, the body is the same… … .”

That is the current Iron Blood Corps.

Leaving aside other things, it means that physical ability is intact.

So what does Delak lack?

First of all, the number of guardians.

Currently, Delak has lost many of his guardians.

As far as I know, the original number of guardians that Delak possessed was nineteen in total… … .

Among them, if we say the majority, it would be at least half, so the maximum number of guardians that I currently have would be around 9.

‘But there are still so many of them… … .’

Among the fellow trainees, I think it was Hector or Seren who received the most protection.

Even if the Iron Blood Knights lose more than half of their protection, they are still far superior to those guys.

‘But wouldn’t it be worth doing?’

The conclusion we finally reached was this.

This is because the most important element to complete the existence of a master is currently lacking in Delak.

Needless to say, it was an experience…

Even a genius can only grow into a master by refining his senses through countless practical battles.

After all, there are limits to practicing alone.

The Iron Blood I knew was a man who seemed to have polished his raw talent to the limit through countless practical experiences.

In other words, it means that Delak before it was polished is more than enough.

“hmm.”

What should I do with this?

My body started to tremble at the thought of fighting.

Come to think of it, I’ve been resting too comfortably since coming home. I haven’t done anything too violent, except for when I hit Arts recently.

‘Let’s talk.’

The sunset is outside the window, but it’s not yet time to go to bed.

I went to the Iron Blood Lord’s residence to tell Delak what I had to say.

“Is that your Majesty? He must be concentrating on his work in his office at this hour.”

“aha.”

“Shall I tell you something?”

“Okay. I’ll go soon.”

“Would you like to do that?”

Even the old man dressed as a butler didn’t stop me.

Certainly, the position of Sogaju had some convenient aspects in times like these.

Because I can enter most of the places in my family home without hesitation.

Anyway, I quickly arrived at Cheolhyeolgong’s office on the fourth floor and knocked on the door.

“… … .”

And I waited for about 5 seconds but there was no response.

Is it not here?

‘I think I can feel something inside.’

I thought about it for a moment, then opened the door slightly and spoke in a small voice.

“…Are you coming in?”

I knocked and spoke in advance, so I thought I was innocent… … .

“… … ?”

But Delak was nowhere to be seen at the office desk.

The moment I was panicking and wondering what was going on, I felt a presence nearby.

“… … .”

A sofa probably used when entertaining guests.

I was able to find Delak lying there, sleeping.

It seemed like I was briefly dozing off while lying on the sofa in a precarious position… … .

Certainly, the current Delac feels sluggish in many ways.

Even though it is my parents’ house, which is supposed to be safe, I can’t believe they are sleeping soundly without even hearing me knock or noticing my presence.

If it was the Iron Blooded Man I knew, he would never have shown such a defenseless appearance.

Well, I understand.

Haven’t you been feeling quite tired lately? Mentally as well.

Anyway, most things would be hard for twelve-year-old Delak to accept, so it’s amazing that he didn’t panic.

I glanced at my watch for a moment.

It was currently six o’clock in the afternoon. It was too late to take a nap, but it was also difficult to wake him up.

Should I just let him sleep for another 30 minutes?

I thought so and sat down on the sofa opposite where Delak was lying.

“… … .”

… By the way, are you really sleeping?

I wonder if he’s trying to fool me again with some strange tricks.

I became suspicious and stared intently at Cheol-Hyeol-Gong’s face, listening to his breathing and heartbeat.

This was because the breathing and pulse of a sleeping person had a unique tempo.

‘…I really fell asleep.’

He’s not the type of man who deserves such words, but he looks like he’s fallen asleep without a care in the world.

I thought that if he opened his mouth slightly and drooled, he would be stuffed for the rest of his life… but unfortunately, he didn’t do anything that embarrassing.

But what were you doing in the office?

On the desk in front of the sofa, all sorts of documents were scattered haphazardly. I think I fell asleep for a moment while reading and organizing them.

I glanced over the documents and found that they all contained extraordinary information.

Missions from the Imperial Family or Heros, recent trends in suspicious religious movements, the appearance of monsters in various places, and top secret information about the Badniker family.

There were also many reports of Delak’s missions as an Ironworker, perhaps as he looked through past records to fill in the gaps in information.

Then I found a document that really caught my eye.

[Outside the Empire.]

[Records about the special magical realm of Yeongsan.]

Yeongsan.

It’s not the place where Baek No-kwang and I used to live, but somewhere on this continent, the base of the colorless Demon King… that is, the base of the Great Commandment.

however.

[Operation crew: 2 people.]

“… … .”

There are two people performing the task?

The corners of my eyes naturally become tense.

I heard that the mission regarding Yeongsan was carried out by Cheolhyeolgong alone.

As I reached out for the documents, half-consciously, the Iron Blood Knight stirred.

It’s a surprise.

“… … .”

Are you awake?

I felt an inexplicable tension and looked into Delak’s face, whose eyes were still closed.

His expression has changed a bit in the meantime.

The eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and the pupils under the eyelids seemed to move somewhat violently.

Are you having a nightmare or something?

Just in case, I wave my hand right in front of their face and whisper in a small voice.

“father?”

“… … .”

“…sleep?”

“… … .”

There is no answer.

I think he’s still asleep.

The tension seems to melt away again.

Seeing him so defenseless and unaware of the world, I had bad thoughts.

“… Are you just going to kidnap me like this?”

But at that moment, there was a change in Cheolhyeol-gong’s expression. A slight wrinkle appeared between his eyebrows, and his facial muscles seemed to twitch slightly… … .

… and Delak’s lips opened awkwardly.

“…Dad isn’t sleeping.”

“omg.”

***

It was a day with pouring rain.

The ground was as damp as a swamp, the tangled grass clung to my legs annoyingly, and the smell of rainwater was unpleasant.

Thump, thump, thump… … .

A heart that beats as fast as the tempo of the rain pouring down on the skin.

Side effects due to mental influences rather than physical activity.

It’s a remnant of emotions that were deemed unnecessary.

It’s strange.

The feelings have already been abandoned.

I chose it myself because I thought it was the most efficient.

From then on, I was able to make all my choices rationally.

I made no mistake.

Not even once.

But why am I so agitated?

The boy beyond the mist seemed to be smiling and saying something.

‘Thank you?’

He said that in a humorous voice, but then did something that wasn’t humorous at all.

Beyond the rain and fog.

The staggering figure was swallowed up by the darkness of a distant cliff, the end of which was not even visible.

I reached out but couldn’t reach it.

Because many people have grabbed the body.

A state of confusion where your nerves feel disconnected and your heart feels like it’s going to burst.

and.

And I-.

***

While Delak opened his eyes and fixed his clothes, I brought the tea set that had been prepared in the room.

Needless to say, I am a man who doesn’t even know the ‘?’ of tea ceremony, but I can’t help it since my father prepares the tea in such a way that it looks good.

I roughly imitated what I saw and heard, prepared the car, and glanced at my father sitting in front of me… … .

Delak opened his eyes and looked somewhat dazed, as if he was still half asleep.

There were even tear stains on her face, as if she had yawned.

“… Would you like a cup of tea?”

Delak nodded his head belatedly in response, his face blank.

And while I was drinking tea, I tried to look at the documents again, but they were covered by other documents, so I couldn’t see the contents.

‘Just ask outright?’

I had that thought for a moment, but then shook my head.

Come to think of it, the current Delak probably has no memories of that time anyway.

Delak, who had taken a couple of sips of tea in the meantime, spoke in a hushed voice.

“… I ended up showing an untidy appearance.”

“It’s okay. Maybe you’re a little tired?”

“I was just trying to get some shut-eye before dinner… um.”

“… … .”

Looking closely, his face definitely looks tired.

Surely you haven’t slept for days? It’s absurd, but it’s not impossible.

Somehow, I had a feeling that this man might have stayed up all night and read all the documents.

“So what brings you here?”

“… Well, that’s it.”

I hesitated about where to start and where to end the story, because even now, Delak’s inner thoughts were still difficult to read.

Just when I thought I was starting to get the hang of it, I lost my memory again and ended up like that…

As we talked, I felt that this gentleman is too pure.

The words ‘unreadable’ and ‘pure’ may sound a bit contradictory, but that’s how I feel.

Although the emotions were not overtly expressed, they were revealed in small movements and facial expressions.

For example, the corners of my eyes drooped slightly as if the tea I had brewed clumsily tasted so bad.

‘I’m sorry.’

By the time I made a brief apology to myself, my thoughts had sorted themselves out.

I opened my mouth.

“I’d like to offer you two options regarding your father’s rehabilitation.”

“Choice?”

“Yes. First of all, the first one is what you were reading just now… … .”

As we talked, a pretty good natural development came to mind.

I was naturally going through the documents and picked up one of the ones I was aiming for.

It was a report containing a mission regarding Yeongsan, which had been my focus for some time.

“… You carry out the mission written in the document. You become an Iron Blooded Worker.”

As he said that, he quickly looked through the documents he had brought home.

[Delak C. Badniker.]

[¦¦¦.]

Plague.

The name engraved underneath was not visible because of some kind of stain.

I was slightly embarrassed, but I could barely keep myself from showing it.

Delak, who was listening to the story, asked.

“The other one?”

“You move with me. You can think of it as having an assistant.”

“… … .”

“Or maybe you have a companion or a traveling companion… … .”

“… … .”

“… Or a family trip?”

“… … .”

Delak didn’t laugh at all.

Am I really not good at telling jokes…?

Even the positive Luan Badnicker must be losing her cool at this point, so she speaks in a somewhat gloomy voice.

“… Well, that doesn’t mean this side is that safe either. I’m the type of person who gets into a lot of trouble. But.”

Looking at Delak, I quietly brought out my true feelings.

“This side will be better.”

It’s right for Delak to be with me now.

Although there was no clear evidence at the time, I could say this with confidence.

ruler…….

Well, I’ve finished what I had to say, so what will happen to this gentleman now?

Delak Badniker nodded.

“Okay.”

“… … .”

It was a simple, refreshing nod.

I looked at his face for a moment, bewildered, but Delak was only frowning as he drank the tasteless tea, so I couldn’t guess what he was thinking.

“So, when are you leaving?”

“…If nothing comes up, maybe tomorrow or the day after?”

“I still have some paperwork to do, so would it be okay to do it in three days?”

“Okay. Oh… but there’s one condition.”

“condition?”

“Yes. What that means is… … .”

At that moment, two thoughts came to my mind.

Assad’s condition was that I win against Delak…

Could this be a game that can be rigged?

Since Delak has shown his intention to join me, it wouldn’t be impossible to roughly talk him into losing the sparring match.

Even though the opponent is a great magician, no matter how much he flies and crawls, he probably doesn’t have the insight to completely see through the battle between magicians and unmanned creatures.

but…….

“… … .”

I rather had a different thought.

So, it was the exact opposite of what I had thought of earlier.

Delak Badniker, twelve years old.

A person with super talent who has yet to blossom into an Iron-Blooded Man.

What would be the result if I fought this person with all my might right now?

The words that eventually came out of his mouth were the exact opposite of what he had originally planned.

“I have to beat you.”

“what?”

“The condition is that you win against me.”

“… … .”

You could call it a sense of triumph.

You could call it curiosity.

Actually, from an unmanned standpoint, the two feelings wouldn’t be that different.

therefore.

“Father, let’s have a go.”

I want to see this man’s power now.
