Episode 358
Gold Fairy Luan.
Badniker’s youngest son and the current head of Soga. He is an A-level hero of Heros and belongs to the cross-species clan Corrupted.
Not long ago, he was an inferior child who was called the only failure of the Iron Blood Prince, but his current performance can be said to be the best among the young heroes of the empire.
He played a key role in the Badniker Retreat, the Imperial Academy, and in the north where Ymir’s remains rested.
It is believed that there are many other activities that have not been identified.
“… Still, I never thought we would be defeated like this.”
Ludwig laughed heartily and then coughed as if he had heard something. Fortunately, he didn’t vomit blood or anything, but I can see that his insides were a mess.
“… “Don’t hit me in the face.”
Ludwig grumbled.
Disguise is a delicate task. If you injure your face, the amount of makeup or makeup you can apply is greatly limited, and if it leaves a permanent scar, it can be even more fatal.
Still, since it was purely a punch, there was only slight swelling and no tears or cuts.
I’m glad there were no setbacks in my future mission… Even thinking about this, Ludwig tilted his head to himself.
‘Is this also my perception?’
The saying that something important is missing comes to mind again. It’s not that I didn’t understand what he said.
Even so, it is a problem for which there is no clear answer.
Ludwig played dozens or hundreds of human figures and interpreted numerous characters.
Merchants, cooks, knights, hoodlums, beggars, scribes, watchmakers, priests, pharmacists, jesters, musicians, bards, fishermen, trainers, etc… … .
If you want to carry out a mission even now, you can instantly become any of these characters.
However, there was still one character that could not be interpreted. I don’t know much about ‘Ludwig Badniker’.
“… In any case, it makes me think of useless things.”
He’s a great youngest.
Ludvik smiled and looked at the burning dwarf village.
What happens from now on?
This is a difficult problem to predict.
That’s why I had to predict it somehow.
Ludwig stood up, considering several possibilities.
Even if the worst situation came, we never stopped thinking so that we could respond flexibly.
Believing that that was his role.
* * *
As I was running frantically, I came across a familiar place.
It was a house with a large barn, and the camel was stuck in the corner, shivering.
“… … .”
Strangely, the moment I met their large eyes, my hot head became cold.
I once again realized that facing Delak like this was not a solution.
That’s because Delac is a man who rarely goes back on what he says. He thought it might make sense since he was young now, but… … .
‘He seems like a jerk.’
There’s no way things will work out that easily.
If the person I was meeting was the weak-natured Delak that Assad had mentioned, he would not have been carrying out this massacre.
Therefore, there is a high probability that the morals and ethics that Ludwig boastfully boasted would not have any effect on the current Iron Blood Ball.
And, somewhat unexpectedly… … .
I clearly understood why the Iron Blood Dukes had a vicious reputation in the empire.
That is why, at the auction house hosted by Risen, the moment the existence of Iron Blood Ball was mentioned, the members fell into despair.
‘… Really, if I hadn’t stopped it then, there would have been a blood festival?’
Aside from the power of the family, Iron Blood Duke was given the right to execute directly by the imperial family.
If such a person wields a sword, even the most prestigious noble cannot complain.
A super-powerful person with the right to instant execution would personally infiltrate and pursue them, regardless of whether it was a back alley or a sewer… … .
Is there anything else that criminals are more afraid of?
I thought again.
If Delac’s persuasion fails, will I be able to stop him by force? doing.
“… … .”
Of course, in a luzad state, there is no way… … .
I’m not sure about Luan’s condition either. Before I came to the south, I sparred with Delak whenever I could.
I think we fought about 10 times, and I was winning all the time, but ended up losing 3 times in a row.
Of course, he didn’t do his best, but Delac’s growth was explosive.
[Fight like that!]
For a moment, I tilted my head at the voice that rang in my head.
It was not a forgotten martial god, but the thoughts of Vulcan that now resided in Myeongryonga.
‘What are you talking about?’
[I know that my power is limited in my current form! But I rather like it! Let him fight in front of the dwarves in that form!]
‘What is that… … .’
[There is no time to explain! Listen quietly!]
‘… … .’
Vulcan shouted in a somewhat forceful tone. I clicked my tongue inwardly.
I forgot because I often talk to forgotten martial gods, but basically, gods have this image. Arbitrary, unkind, and even oppressive.
‘As Luzard, fight the Sanghyeolgong-gong?’
Of course, our lone Lizardman warrior, Luzard, is one of the strongest men in the desert… … .
In many ways, it is still not enough to compete head-on with Sanghyeolgong.

If I fight now, I will definitely lose.
But I don’t think Vulcan will tell me nonsense.
This gentleman clearly came to punish the dwarf who betrayed him, but he didn’t laugh or feel relieved when he saw the village in a sea of fire.
On the contrary, seeing him so embarrassed and sad, he might be a kinder god than I thought.
[How dare you leave my tribute manufacturing plant like this… … . I can never forgive… … !]
“… … .”
I pretended not to hear what was said later.
Anyway, while I was thinking about this and that, I reached the center of the village.
There was a square in this town too.
It was a place I glanced at on the way to Master Visid’s house. It was probably created by craftsmen to exchange materials or exchange opinions.
[There it is!]
Vulcan shouted in an urgent voice, and I also saw it.
In the center of the square, there were dozens of dwarves kneeling and holding their breath.
The person kneeling in front of me happened to be a face I was familiar with.
“please… … .”
The moment a sobbing voice reached my ears, I reflexively opened my mouth.
“Stop.”
“… … .”
Only then did Delac glance at me.
The blood-covered eyes showed no emotion.
“why.”
I asked in a calm voice.
Why? As I kept my mouth shut, not knowing how to question him in return, Delac continued.
“This village was in cahoots with the Dark Church.”
“I know. But not all of them joined hands with the church. “There may have been dwarves who didn’t even know that fact, and there may have been people who had no choice but to join the overall trend.”
“Do you think that could be an indulgence?”
“exactly.”
“You have a different opinion than me.”
Delac took his gaze away from me.
The solemn gaze turned forward again.
“Don’t stop me.”
I thought words wouldn’t work as expected.
I jumped forward just as Delak was about to resume his killing spree. And he blocked Delak’s falling sword with Myeongryongah.
Kaan-!
“… … !”
My shoulder almost fell off.
Where does that delicate body have such strength? I learned how heavy Delak’s blade was, wielded with deadly force.
I wasn’t the only one who didn’t give my best in the last sparring.
Delac kicked me. He quickly defended himself with his arm, but felt pain as if the bone in his arm had been hit.
Craddangtang!
As soon as I flew all the way to the wall and landed, I ran out again and stood in front of Delac. And he blocked the sword falling towards the dwarf again.
‘This sword is good, but it’s good.’
Even in this situation, the quality of Myeongryonga was quite excellent.
First of all, its strength is the best among all the swords I have used. This is true even when compared to the Seven Deadly Sins Sword.
Although it was a bit heavy, it was good because it didn’t lack strength.
I removed Delak’s sword and attacked from my side this time. Delak’s sword, which took a slight step back, fell diagonally again.
Kaang!
We continued to fight with Delac at close range. Every time she exchanges a sword strike, it feels like the hair on her head stands on end.
This guy… I have absolutely no intention of doing it in moderation.
Anyway, if this continues, I will be the first to suffer.
Even if Delak doesn’t kill me now… I thought I could cut off an arm or a leg to make him quieter.
‘Then, if there is a regression… … . Ah-oh.’
You can’t waste a precious chance to return like that.
Now that things are like this, it’s not the time to save face as a Luzard. It was the moment when I was using the First Flame of Flame and was about to cast Hundred Eclipse.
Suddenly, Myeongryongah’s pure white sword body turned red.
What is this again?
Puhwaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
“… … !”
“… … !”
Immediately after, hot flames erupted from Myeongryongah. I was also surprised, as it was not what I had planned, and so was Delac, who was confronting me.
‘what?’
It is not the power of my Cheonhwa First Ball.
I was curious about the source of the suddenly rising flames, but first I improvised and swung the flame-covered sword with all my might.
At that moment, Delac’s expression frowned somewhat and he took a long step back. Delac, who landed on top of a completely collapsing building, checked his body.
Pass… … .
The hem of his clothes had turned to ash and was falling off.
If I had kept competing, I might have gotten burned. That much intense heat was radiating from my flame.
‘This… … .’
Just as I was panicking, I heard a voice whispering behind me.
“Well, that flame… … ?”
“[Breath of Vulcan]! “It is the breath of the Fire Dragon God!”
“Well, that can’t be possible? “It is impossible to breathe life into a weapon that is not a ‘chosen branch’!”
“It was an impossible feat even for the most accomplished dwarf craftsman… … ?”
The dwarves looked very confused… … .
Actually, I was more embarrassed.
However, even in this situation, I had to maintain a solemn expression as a Luzard, so I put on a strained expression and did my best to capture the fireworks.
At that moment, a dwarf screamed.
“It’s Vulcan… … !”
Fire, what?
It was Condian who even shouted, and the other dwarves were startled and responded to the shout.
“The Lion of Vulcan… … !”
“The one who holds the Fire Dragon God’s tusk in his hand!”
“A hero who will save the dwarves from danger! “He has the appearance of a dragon!”
“Oh, oh oh… … !”
“… … .”
A wave of emotion suddenly swept through the square where only the energy of death lurked.
I was in a daze, unable to follow the sudden flow, and at that moment, I heard Vulcan’s thoughts.
[Khahahahaha! This is it!]
‘What is this? Please explain the situation. hurry.’
[It is an old tradition of the dwarves! When an unprecedented crisis came upon them, the wonderful and merciful Fire Dragon God Vulcan sent a divine messenger to save them! The name given to that lion is ‘Vulkan’!]
‘… … .’
[Vulkan is not a name for an individual! Throughout the long history of the dwarves, they have appeared several times whenever they were in danger! But its appearance is always constant!]
‘What does it look like?’
[He holds the tusks of the Fire Dragon God and his entire body is covered in flames, taking on the form of a dragon!]
At those words, I looked down at myself.
therefore… … .
Myeongryongah, said to be made from a dragon’s tooth, was actually Vulcan’s molar.
Through that, the Fire Dragon God lent me his power. ‘Breath of Vulcan’.
Moreover, my appearance as a lizardman was actually close to that of a dragon.
‘oh my god.’
Vulcan said excitedly.
[Khahahaha! I realized it the moment I saw you! In that way! If you save a dwarf while wearing Myungryongah! They will definitely mistake you for ‘Vulkan’!]
‘No, f*ck. This is crap. ‘Is it okay for God to deceive believers?’
Then Vulcan answered with a straight face.
[Perfect Gara is real!]
‘… … .’
[And look at the look in their eyes now! No matter how much effort I put into sharing Vulcan’s breath, those who only expressed their gratitude perfunctorily now look as if they have just witnessed their male savior!]
‘That’s true.’
[If they believe you are Vulcan! Your faith and belief in me is increasing! If only I would give that power back to you! You can fight against that villain with the power of God! If this isn’t infinite power, what else is it? Hahahahaha!]
… What is this, God?
I had no choice but to stand still in despair, but the dwarves who saw me like that cheered and shed tears.
“Vulkan has arrived!”
“Messenger of God!”
“We have abandoned Him, but He has not abandoned us… … !”
“thank you! thank you!”
“… … .”
As I watched the little people jumping for joy, I had no idea how to respond.
… That was the case with ‘Luan’.
However, I understand what the lone Lizardman warrior ‘Luzard’ has to say.
I shook my head as if I was somewhat annoyed and scolded them in a voice that they could hear.
“Whoa… … . “I got caught.”
Oh dear… … .
