I Became the Youngest Disciple of the Martial God Chapter 347

Episode 347

Will I be able to defeat Iron Blood Ball?

Although he has become quite strong through various trainings, events, and events, he still cannot picture himself winning against the Iron Blood Ball.

… That is, if you are an ‘iron-blooded hero’.

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

Delac Badnicker is a boy who was born with tremendous talent, but has not yet been able to perfect that talent.

“Hmm… … .”

Assad leaves.

As always, I lay down on the bed, dressed, lost in thought.

Along with the useless thought that the chandelier hanging from the ceiling looked a bit funny, I was also analyzing Delac’s current power.

“The brain may have become smaller, but the body remains the same… … .”

That is the current Sanghyeolgong.

Regardless of other things, it means that your physical abilities are intact.

So what does Delac lack?

First of all, it is the number of blessings.

Currently, Delac has lost many of his blessings.

As far as I know, the total number of divine protections Delak originally possessed was nineteen… … .

Among them, the majority would be at least half, so the number of blessings he currently possesses would be about 9 at most.

‘But it’s still a lot to worry about… … .’

Among my classmates at the retreat, I think it was Hector or Seren who received the most protection.

Even if the Iron Blood Master loses more than half of his blessings, he is still far more than those guys.

‘Still, isn’t it worth doing?’

In the end, the conclusion was as follows.

This is because the most important element in completing the existence of a master is missing from the current Delac.

Needless to say, experience was the thing… … .

Even a genius can grow into a martial artist worthy of being called an expert only by refining his senses through countless practical experiences.

Ultimately, training alone has its limits.

The iron-blooded master I knew was a man who seemed to have polished the gem of brilliant talent to the limit through countless practical experiences.

In other words, it means that Delac before it was refined is still worth doing.

“hmm.”

What should I do with this?

When I thought about fighting, my body started to itch.

Now that I think about it, I felt very comfortable after coming home. Other than the recent time I hit Arts, I haven’t really moved much.

‘Let’s talk about it.’

The sunset has set outside the window, but it is not time to sleep yet.

I headed directly to the Sanghyeolgong’s residence to talk to Delak.

“What do you mean, matriarch? “I would probably be in my office right now, concentrating on my work.”

“aha.”

“Would you like me to tell you something?”

“it’s okay. “Let’s go soon.”

“Do you want to?”

Even the old man dressed as a butler did not stop me.

Certainly, the position of Sogaju was quite convenient in times like this.

This is because you can enter most places in your home without hesitation.

Anyway, I quickly arrived at Sanghyeolgong’s office on the 4th floor and knocked on the door.

“… … .”

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

Are you not here?

‘I think I can sense a presence inside.’

After thinking for a moment, I opened the door slightly and said in a low voice.

“… Are you coming in?”

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

“… … ?”

However, Delac was not visible at the desk in the office.

The moment I was confused about something, I felt someone nearby.

“… … .”

A sofa probably used for entertaining guests.

I was able to find Delac lying there sleeping.

It seemed like he was lying on the sofa in a precarious position and closing his eyes for a moment… … .

It certainly felt like the current Delac was soft in many ways.

No matter how safe the home is, they are sleeping soundly without even hearing my knock or noticing my presence.

If he was the Iron Blood Ball I knew, he would never have shown such a defenseless appearance.

Well, I understand.

Hasn’t a lot of fatigue been accumulated over the years? The same goes for the mental part.

In any case, most things would be difficult for 12-year-old Delac to accept, so it’s great that he didn’t panic.

I looked at the clock for a moment.

Current time: 6:00 PM. It was too late to take a nap, but it was also difficult to wake him up.

Should I just let him sleep for 30 more minutes?

With that thought in mind, I sat down across from the sofa where Delac was lying.

“… … .”

… By the way, you’re really sleeping, right?

Could it be that they are using some strange trick to deceive me again?

I was so suspicious that I stared at Sanghyeolgong’s face and listened to his breathing and heartbeat.

This is because the breathing and pulse of a sleeping person have a unique tempo.

‘… ‘I really fell asleep.’

He is not a man for whom such words are appropriate, but he seems to have fallen asleep without the world knowing.

If you even slightly open your mouth and drool, you will be stuffed for life… I thought about it, but unfortunately, it didn’t get that ugly.

But what was he doing in the office?

All kinds of documents were scattered indiscriminately on the desk in front of the sofa. I think I fell asleep for a moment while reading and organizing this.

After skimming through the documents, I found that all of them had unusual information written on them.

Missions given by the imperial family or Heros, recent suspicious movements of the church, the extent of monsters appearing in various places, top secret information about the Badniker family, etc.

There were also many reports on Delac’s missions as an iron-clad worker, and he seemed to be narrowing the gap in information by going through past records.

Then I came across a document that caught my eye.

[Outside the Empire.]

[Records of the special magic spirit mountain.]

Yeongsan.

Not the place where Baek No-gwang and I lived, but the colorless demon king somewhere on this continent… So, it is the base of the great punishment.

however.

[Operation personnel, 2 people.]

“… … .”

There are two people involved?

Naturally, strength goes into the area around my eyes.

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

I half-consciously reached for the document, and at that moment, Sanghyeolgong stirred his body.

It’s a surprise.

“… … .”

Did he really wake up?

Feeling an unknown tension, I looked into Delac’s face, whose eyes were still closed.

Suddenly, his expression changed a bit.

The eyebrows narrowed slightly, and the pupils under the eyelids seemed to move rather violently.

Are you having a nightmare?

Just in case, you can wave your hand right in front of the face or whisper in a low voice.

“father?”

“… … .”

“… sleep?”

“… … .”

There’s no answer.

Looks like he’s still asleep.

The tension disappears again as if dissolved in water.

Seeing him so defenseless, unaware of the world, made me feel bad.

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

But at this moment, a change occurred in Sanghyeolgong’s expression. A slight wrinkle appears between the eyebrows, and the facial muscles seem to twitch somewhat… … .

… And Delak’s lips opened awkwardly.

“… “Dad, I’m not sleeping.”

“omg.”

* * *

It was a day of heavy rain.

The ground was as wet as a swamp, the tangled grass blades were annoying enough to get my legs caught, and the fishy smell of rainwater was unpleasant.

Toad, toad, toad… … .

My heart beats as fast as the tempo of the rain pouring down on my skin.

Side effects caused by mental effects rather than physical activity.

It is the remnants of emotions that were considered unnecessary.

It’s strange.

The emotions have already been thrown away.

I chose it because I judged it to be the most efficient.

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

No mistake.

Not once.

But why am I so agitated?

The boy beyond the water mist seemed to smile and say something.

‘Thank you?’

He says that in a humorous voice, but then commits an act that is not humorous at all.

Beyond the rain and fog.

The staggering figure was swallowed up in the darkness of the distant cliff, with not even the end visible.

I stretched out my hand but couldn’t reach it.

This is because multiple figures have captured the body.

Confusion as if a bundle of nerves were being cut off and a heart pulsating as if it would explode.

and.

And I─.

* * *

Delac opened his eyes and while he was adjusting his clothes, I brought the tea utensil that was prepared in the room.

Needless to say, I’m a man who doesn’t even know the ‘ㄷ’ of tea ceremony, but there’s nothing I can do about my father preparing the tea because it’s out of shape.

I roughly imitated what I saw and heard, preparing tea, and glanced at my father sitting in front… … .

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

There were even traces of tears, as if he had yawned.

“… “Why don’t you at least have some tea?”

Delak nodded late with a dazed look on his face.

And while I was drinking tea, I tried to look at the document again, but as I was looking through it again, it was covered by other documents and I couldn’t see the contents.

‘Just ask outright?’

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

Now that I think about it, Delac probably doesn’t have any memories of that time anyway.

Delac, who had taken a couple of sips of tea in the meantime, spoke in a quiet voice.

“… “You have shown your rude side.”

“it’s okay. “I guess you were a little tired?”

“I was just trying to get some sleep before dinner… hmm.”

“… … .”

If you look closely, your face definitely looks tired.

Surely you haven’t slept a wink in days? It’s an absurd idea, but it’s not without possibility.

Somehow, it occurred to me that this man could have stayed up all night and read the entire document.

“But what brought you here?”

“… Well, that’s it.”

I was hesitant about where to start and how far to talk. Even now, Delac’s true intentions are still difficult to read.

Just when I thought I was starting to feel better, I lost my memory again and that was probably the reason why I ended up like that… … .

This is what I felt while talking, this guy. Even though it is pure, it is too pure.

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

Although emotions were not revealed openly, they were revealed a little in small movements or facial expressions.

For example, the corners of my eyes drooped a little, as if the tea I had brewed clumsily was so tasteless.

‘I’m sorry.’

By the time I briefly apologized, my thoughts had roughly come together.

I opened my mouth.

“I would like to present two options regarding your father’s rehabilitation.”

“A choice?”

“yes. First of all, what you read until now… … .”

As we talked, a pretty natural progression came to mind.

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

It was a report containing a mission regarding the sacred mountain that I had been eyeing for a while.

“… This is how you carry out the mission written on the document. “I became an Iron Blood Ball.”

While saying that, I naturally quickly looked through the documents I had brought home.

[Delac C. Badnicker.]

[■■■.]

pestilence.

The name engraved underneath had something like a stain on it so I couldn’t see it.

I was a little embarrassed, but I managed not to show it.

Delak, who was listening to the story, asked.

“What about the other one?”

“It moves with me. Well, you can think of it as having an aide.”

“… … .”

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

“… … .”

“… Or a family trip?”

“… … .”

Delac did not laugh at all.

I really have no talent for joking… … ?

Even this positive Luan Badniker has no choice but to lose his temper at this point, so he speaks in a somewhat sullen voice.

“… Well, that doesn’t mean it’s going to be that safe either. It’s because I’m the type of person who gets involved in a lot of accidents. but.”

While looking at Delac, I quietly revealed my true feelings.

“It will be better this way.”

It is right for Delak to go with me now.

Although there was no clear evidence right away, I was able to say this with confidence.

ruler… … .

So what I have to say is done, what will this guy do now?

Delak Badniker nodded.

“Sure.”

“… … .”

It was a simple, refreshing acknowledgment.

I looked at his face in confusion for a moment, but Delac only frowned as he drank tasteless tea, but I couldn’t tell what he was thinking.

“So, when are you leaving?”

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

“I still have some paperwork to take care of, so can we wait three days?”

“Of course. ah… “But there is one condition.”

“condition?”

“yes. What does that mean… … .”

At that moment, two thoughts came to my mind.

The condition Assad presented was that I win against Delak… … .

Couldn’t this be a way to rig the match?

Since Delak has expressed his intention to join me, it would not be impossible to roughly get him to lose in sparring.

Even though the opponent is an archmage, no matter how much he flies or crawls, he is still a mage. He would not have had the foresight to completely penetrate the battle between warriors.

but… … .

“… … .”

I actually had a different thought.

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

Delak Badniker, twelve years old.

The owner of a super talent that has not yet blossomed into an Iron Blood Ball.

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

Eventually, the words that came out of the mouth were completely opposite to the original plan.

“You have to beat me.”

“what?”

“The condition is that you win against me.”

“… … .”

It’s okay to say it’s a good win.

You could say it was curiosity.

In fact, from a martial artist’s perspective, the two emotions probably aren’t that different.

therefore.

“Father, let’s have a fight.”

I want to see this man’s full potential now.
