I Became God of War’s Youngest Disciple - Chapter 358



Only Krnovel

Episode 358

Friday Fairy Luan.

The youngest son of Badnikker and the current Sogaju. A-class hero of Heros and a member of the foreign clan Corrupted.

Until recently, he was considered an inferior child and the only failure of the Iron Blood Alliance, but with his current performance, he can be said to be the best among the young heroes of the Empire.

He played a key role in the Badniker Training Institute, the Imperial Academy, and the North where Ymir’s remains rested.

In addition, it is believed that there are many other activities that have not been identified.

“… But I didn’t expect to be defeated like this.”

Ludwig laughed heartily and then coughed as if he had caught a cold. Fortunately, he didn’t vomit up any blood or anything, but you could tell that his insides were a mess.

“…Please don’t hit me in the face.”

Ludwig grumbled.

Disguise is a delicate task. If you injure your face, the range of makeup and make-up you can apply is greatly limited, and if you leave permanent scars, it becomes even more devastating.

Still, since it was just a simple punch, there was only a little swelling, and there were no cuts or lacerations.

Ludwig tilted his head to himself, thinking that it was fortunate that there were no problems with future missions.

‘Is this also my perception that is strange?’

The saying that something important is missing comes to mind again. It’s not that I don’t understand that.

Even so, it is a question that has no clear answer.

Ludwig has interpreted countless characters, playing dozens and hundreds of human figures.

Merchants, cooks, knights, thugs, beggars, scribes, watchmakers, priests, apothecaries, clergy, musicians, bards, fishermen, trainers, etc… … .

Any of these characters can be instantly transformed into something that can be used to carry out a mission, even right now.

But there was one character I still couldn’t interpret. I didn’t know anything about ‘Ludwig Badniker’.

“… Anyway, it makes me think of useless thoughts.”

I told you he’s a great youngest.

Ludwig chuckled and looked at the burning dwarf village.

What happens from now on?

It’s a difficult problem to anticipate.

That’s why I had to anticipate it somehow.

Ludwig stood up, considering the possibilities.

I never stopped thinking about how to respond flexibly even if the worst happens.

Believing that that was his role.

***

As I was running absentmindedly, I came across a familiar place.

It was a house with a large barn, and a camel was shivering in the corner.

“… … .”

Strangely, the moment I met their large eyes, my hot head cooled down.

I realized once again that it was no good facing Delak like this.

Delak is a man who rarely goes back on his words. I thought maybe we could talk since we were young, but…

‘It seems like an idiot.’

There’s no way things will work out that easily.

If the Delak I met was the weak-willed one that Assad had mentioned, this massacre would not have been committed.

So, the morals and ethics that Ludwig used to brag about are unlikely to have any effect on the current Iron Blooded Man.

And somewhat out of the blue… … .

It was now clear why the Iron Blooded had such a bad reputation in the Empire.

That’s why, at the auction house hosted by Ryzen, the moment the existence of the Iron Blood Knight was mentioned, the members fell into chaos.

‘… If I hadn’t stopped it then, there would have been a bloody festival?’

Aside from the power of the family, the one who received the right to execute directly from the imperial family was the Iron Blood Duke.

If such a person swings a sword, even the most prestigious nobles will be unable to object.

A super-strong man with the power of summary execution, who goes undercover and tracks people down every back alley or sewer…

Is there anything more terrifying to a criminal?

I thought about it again.

If Delak’s persuasion fails, will I be able to stop him by force?

“… … .”

Of course, it’s impossible in a luzard state… … .

I don’t know much about Luan’s condition. Before coming to the South, I sparred with Delak from time to time.

I think we fought about ten times, winning all the time, but in the end we lost three in a row.

Of course, he didn’t give it his all, but Delak’s growth was explosive.

[Fight back with that look!]

I tilted my head at the voice that rang in my head for a moment.

It was not a forgotten god, but the thought of Vulcan that was now dwelling in Myeongryong-ah.

‘What are you talking about?’

[I know that my power is limited in my current form! But I like it! Fight in front of the dwarves in that form!]

‘What is that… … .’

[No time to explain! Just listen!]

‘… … .’

Vulcan shouted in a somewhat forceful tone. I clicked my tongue inwardly.

I forgot because I often talk to the Forgotten God, but this is basically the image of a god. Arbitrary, unfriendly, and even oppressive.

‘Fight the Iron-Blooded Knights as a Luzard?’

Of course, our lone lizardman warrior, Luzard, is one of the strongest in the desert… … .

It is still lacking in many ways to compete head-on with the Iron Blood Corps.

If we fight now, we will lose unconditionally.

But I don’t think Vulcan would be talking nonsense about killing me.

This gentleman clearly came to punish the dwarf who betrayed him, but he didn’t laugh or feel any relief at seeing the village in flames.

Rather, seeing that he is greatly embarrassed and saddened, he may be a better god than I thought.

[How dare you treat my tribute manufacturing plant like this… … . I absolutely cannot forgive you… … !]

“… … .”

I pretended not to hear what was said later.

Anyway, while I was thinking about this and that, I arrived at the center of the town.

This town also had a square.

It was a place I had glanced at while heading towards Master Visid’s house. It seemed to have been created by craftsmen to exchange materials or exchange opinions.

[Over there!]

Vulcan shouted in an urgent voice, and I saw it too.

In the center of the square, there was a sight of dozens of dwarves kneeling and holding their breath.

The person kneeling in front of me was a face I knew well.

“please…….”

The moment a sobbing voice reached my ears, I reflexively opened my mouth.

“Stop.”

“… … .”

Only then did Delak glance at me.

There was no emotion in his blood-covered eyes.

“why.”

He asked in a flat voice.

Why? I kept my mouth shut, not knowing that you would ask me that question, but Delak continued speaking.

“This village was in league with the Dark Church.”

“I know. But not all of them joined hands with the sect. There must have been dwarves who didn’t even know about it, and there must have been those who had no choice but to go along with the overall trend.”

“Do you think that could be an indulgence?”

“exactly.”

“Your views are different from mine.”

Delak looked away from me.

The indifferent gaze turned forward again.

“Don’t stop me.”

I thought words wouldn’t work.

I leapt forward the moment Delak was about to resume his killing spree, and blocked Delak’s falling sword with Myungryong-ah.

Kaang-!

“… … !”

My shoulder almost fell off.

Where does such brute strength come from in that delicate body? I realized how heavy the blade of Delak, which he swings with a murderous intent, is.

It wasn’t just me who didn’t give it my all in the last sparring session.

Delak kicked me. I quickly defended myself with my arm, but I felt a crack in my arm bone where I was hit.

Kkudangtang!

As soon as I was blown to the wall and slammed into it, I jumped back up and stood in front of Delak. I then blocked the sword that was falling towards the dwarf again.

‘This sword is good, but it’s good.’

Even in this situation, the quality of Myungryong-ah came across as quite excellent.

First of all, the strength is the best among all the swords I’ve ever used. Even compared to the Seven Sins Sword.

It’s a bit heavy, which is a shame, but it’s not lacking in brute force, so it’s actually good.

I kicked Delak’s sword away, then attacked from my side this time. Delak’s sword, which had stepped back slightly, fell diagonally again.

Kaang!

I continued to fight with Delak at close range. Every time we exchanged sword strikes, my hair stood on end.

This guy… has no intention of doing anything moderate.

Anyway, if this continues, I will be the first to suffer.

Even if the current Delak doesn’t kill me… I thought he could cut off an arm or a leg to make me docile.

‘If I have to regress… … . Ah.’

I can’t just blow this precious chance to return.

Now that it had come to this, it was no time to save face as a Luzard. It was the moment when I was operating the first salt mine and was about to cast the Baekil Eclipse.

Suddenly, Myungryong-ah’s pure white sword turned red.

What is this?

Puhwaaaaaaaaaaah-!

“… … !”

“… … !”

Immediately afterwards, hot flames shot out from Myeongryong-ah. I was surprised because it was not something I had intended to do, and so was Delak, who was confronting me.

‘what?’

It’s not my salt-first power.

I suddenly wondered where the rising flames were coming from, but first I improvised and swung the flame-covered sword with all my might.

At that moment, Delak’s expression slightly frowned and he stepped back. Delak landed on top of a collapsing building and checked his body.

Passus… … .

The hem of her clothes was falling down like ash.

If I had continued aiming, I might have gotten burned. That much heat was being emitted from my flames.

‘This is… … .’

Just as I was panicking, I heard a voice muttering behind me.

“Th-that flame… …?”

“[Breath of Vulcan]! It’s the breath of the Fire Dragon God!”

“That, that can’t be right? It’s impossible to breathe life into a weapon that isn’t a ‘chosen branch’!”

“It was an impossible feat even for the most brilliant dwarf craftsman… … ?”

The dwarves looked very confused, but… … .

Actually, I was more confused.

But even in this situation, I had to maintain a solemn expression as a Luzard, so I made a stiff expression and did a great job of putting out the fireworks.

At that moment, a dwarf screamed.

“It’s Vulcan… … !”

Fire, what?

Even though it was Conjian who shouted, the other dwarves were surprised and responded to his shout.

“The Lion of Vulcan… … !”

“He who holds the fang of the Fire Dragon God!”

“A hero who will save the dwarfs in times of crisis! A man in the form of a dragon!”

“Oh, ohhh… … !”

“… … .”

In the square where only the air of death lingered, a wave of emotion suddenly swept over.

I was dumbfounded, unable to keep up with the sudden flow, when at that moment I heard Vulcan’s thoughts.

[Hahahahaha! This is it!]

‘What is this? Explain the situation. Quickly.’

[It’s an old dwarf legend! When an unprecedented crisis came upon them, the wonderful and merciful fire dragon god Vulcan sent his messenger to save them! The name of that messenger is ‘Vulcan’!]

‘… … .’

[Vulcan is not a personal name! Throughout the long history of the dwarves, he has appeared many times whenever they were in danger! But his appearance is always the same!]

‘What does it look like?’

[Holding the fang of the Fire Dragon God, with the flames surrounding his entire body, he has the appearance of a dragon!]

At those words, I looked down at myself.

therefore…….

The dragon that was said to have been made from a dragon’s tooth was actually the molar of Vulcan.

Through that medium, the Dragon God lent me his power. It was called ‘Vulcan’s Breath’.

Moreover, my appearance as a lizardman was actually close to that of a dragon.

‘oh my god.’

Vulcan said with excitement.

[Khahahaha! I realized the moment I saw you! With that appearance! If you save the dwarf while wearing the Myungryong-ah! They’ll definitely mistake you for ‘Vulcan’!]

‘No, shit. This is a joke. Is it okay for God to deceive his believers?’

Then Vulcan replied with a serious expression.

[Perfect Kara is real!]

‘… … .’

[And look at the eyes of those guys now! Even though I worked hard to share the breath of Vulcanus with them, they only showed their gratitude in a formal manner, but now they look as if they have witnessed a savior!]

‘That’s true, though.’

[If those guys believe in you as Vulcan! Their faith and belief in me will increase! If I give that power back to you! You will be able to fight those evildoers with the power of a god! If this isn’t infinite power, then what is it? Hahahahahaha!]

… Is this something, God?

I could only stand there in bewilderment, but the dwarves who saw me like this cheered and shed tears.

“Vulcan has arrived!”

“Lion of God!”

“We abandoned Him, but He did not abandon us… … !”

“Thank you! Thank you!”

“… … .”

I was at a loss as to how to respond to the sight of these small, dwarf people jumping for joy.

… that was the case with ‘Luan’.

But I understand what the lone lizardman warrior, Luzard, has to say.

I shook my head as if I was somewhat annoyed, and whispered in a voice they could hear.

“Phew… … . I got caught.”

This and that… … .
