‎I Became the Youngest Disciple of the Martial God Chapter 377

Episode 377

Speaking of larvae emerging from beneath the sand, I was reminded of the group of sandworms I faced in [Sandstorm Dune]… … .

I could tell right after they appeared that these guys were much stronger than those guys.

First of all, it was three times bigger.

Unlike sandworms, which only had a snout, this one had multiple eyes and chest legs.

Like the dragonfly larva mentioned earlier.

How should I deal with it?

When I was checking various means.

“Uuuuuuu-!”

With a loud roar, one of the giants angrily charged at the caterpillar.

It was wearing a distinctive helmet, and it even had horns, making it look like a really huge bull was charging.

Gurgling!

The moment it hit the caterpillar with the horn on its head, the caterpillar’s body tilted slightly along with the sound of thunder.

‘oh.’

Just like humans, giants have many races… … .

As far as I know, the biggest one is a northern giant. After all, the north is their hometown.

However, this guy, who seemed to be from the South, was as big as the giants I saw in the North, and of course the force he put into his headbutt was formidable.

Wouldn’t it be possible to push over even a rock the size of a house?

However, even a charge that can knock over a rock may not be able to defeat a centurion-level monster.

Coo… … !

The slightly tilted larva eventually returned to its original position without falling over.

The center has been regained.

The insect’s unique compound eyes were stained red.

The moment the giant felt something strange and hesitated, the front paws on the larva’s upper body extended like a whip and bound the giant.

“Hey, let go of this!”

The giant struggled, but his outstretched front paws dug into his skin like hooks.

The giant’s tearing screams echoed everywhere, as if he was in terrible pain.

But that’s not the end.

The larva’s mouth opened wide and it ate the giant’s face. Even the entire helmet.

Crack.

Could the sound of something being crushed be due to the helmet? Or is it a skull?

Blood poured out, and the lost iron necklace fell off.

It was at that point that I reached the larvae.

‘It’s incredibly big.’

I heard it somewhere.

If all living creatures on earth were of the same weight class, insects would be the strongest… … .

When I heard it, I thought it was nonsense, but when I saw it in person, I understood it to some extent.

I glanced down at the dagger in my hand.

A weapon like a toothpick would not be able to kill a larva even if it were stabbed a thousand times. In general, yes.

I infused mana into the dagger.

Partschut!

Blue energy soared from the dagger that received mana.

I wasn’t using my strength as usual. She just concentrated her mana in a one-dimensional way.

Of course, it was an operation method that was far from efficient.

‘whatever.’

It doesn’t really matter.

My inner strength has increased tremendously through my past experiences, even though this is a desert.

A scorching land where yang energy dances everywhere.

This means that there is no burden even if you pour out your mana like water.

Now, even if I claim that the weapon in my hand is a long sword, no one will deny it.

However, my mana is not at this level.

‘more.’

Mana is poured into the dagger one after another.

Bigger, longer, and stronger.

The mana filled with thoughts faithfully followed my instructions, and the mana blade, which was only about the size of a long sword, began to grow in size again.

The shape of the powerful wave was reminiscent of fireworks.

This was something I couldn’t control… … .

In fact, most of the forms of manifested mana are close to flames, so there will be no suspicion.

“Huh… … !”

Is it because my senses have become more sensitive due to mana management?

I could hear the sound of someone gasping for breath in the distance. Probably Michael.

It is only natural that the dagger he gave him has become such a powerful sword that even a giant cannot wield it properly.

Of course, it’s not heavy because it’s made with mana.

But just because it’s not heavy doesn’t mean it’s easy to handle. Most people wouldn’t be able to fully handle this mana release.

This doesn’t apply to me.

Not to mention Amcheonwolhyanggeuk, the internal power of Cheonhwajeilgong was not one that was easy to handle.

How easy is it to handle a large amount of mana without any attributes… … .

… The huge sword that was soaring towards the sky was brought down in a straight line.

Kwasik!

Both sides of the work.

The giant larva, which had easily withstood the giant’s headbutt, was cut off at the waist.

Attack power as expected, more than expected.

‘Is this okay?’

I quite liked the technique I came up with and used on the spot.

It’s not without its drawbacks, but when dealing with these huge monsters, the advantages seem to be much greater.

Should I use this as a martial arts attack or a herbal attack?

I thought about it for a moment, and then it occurred to me that it might be better to just think of it in terms of technology.

What should the technical name be?

Kaaaaagh!

Before I had time to name him, the second one rushed towards me. However, perhaps because it has legs, it moves quite quickly on the ground, unlike sandworms.

I tried to swing the large sword once more, but at that moment, with a ‘pass’ sound, the dagger in my hand crumbled into powder and flew away.

‘ah.’

Come to think of it, there’s no way an ordinary weapon could withstand this much mana.

Damn, I rolled to the side and avoided the charge. I thought she had completely avoided me, but I felt something grab my ankle.

I was curious to see what else this was, and saw that it was the front foot of a caterpillar extending straight out. The force was so strong that I felt my body being pulled in an instant.

With the heavens and earth turned upside down, the hooks on the front feet flashed as if they would dig into the skin at any moment.

At that moment, I moved my tail.

The mana-powered tail moved like a mace and smashed the larva’s front paws.

‘it was good.’

After the battle at Sandstorm Hill, it was worthwhile to consistently practice moving my tail muscles whenever I had time.

My body, which had been lifted quite high, fell down immediately after cutting off my front leg.

Still, since it’s sand down here, you won’t get seriously hurt if you fall… A moment when you think somewhat complacent thoughts.

Puhwaak!

The sandy ground turned over and a larva with its mouth wide open appeared.

Was there one more? no. It seems that one that had disappeared before we knew it had burrowed under the ground.

They were all so damn big that I lost sight of them for a moment. That’s because one guy after another stood tall like a mountain, blocking the view.

I thought of excuses that didn’t work and thought about how to overcome this difficulty.

What would it be like to fall into that guy’s mouth like this?

Even though it’s messy, the inside of the body is much weaker than the outside, so you may be able to take a effective hit without a weapon.

‘no.’

I threw my chair forward as I suddenly felt an eerie sensation.

If you use the long technique like this, you will be able to move in the air through the reaction. I refrained from doing this because it was too old a method for a wandering lizardman to use.

‘Salpa.’

The moment I muttered to myself, a wind suddenly blew in the quiet atmosphere. It was only a light breeze, but it was enough.

I immediately tightened my grip and grabbed the stream of air. … Although I said it to make it seem a little more sensible, I just left my body to the breeze through internal power management.

Whioooo!

The angle was twisted.

Instead of falling towards the larva’s snout, I ended up falling just barely next to it.

‘… Even without a dagger.’

I set my fingernails.

I had forgotten that other than my fists, there were other useful weapons equipped on my body.

Partschut!

After wrapping his fingernails with steel, he tore the larva’s thorax and legs into pieces and dropped it.

Is it because of the added force of falling?

The larva’s outer skin was torn to shreds like a piece of paper. The attack itself was easy. All you have to do is swing your arms as you want.

However, it was difficult to control the blood from the splashing larvae so that it did not reach the body.

‘As expected, the body fluid was poisonous.’

This is why the plan to fall into this guy’s snout was abandoned in the middle.

This is because the body of the larva, which had been doing a lot of work earlier, gave off a bad smell.

Quang!

By the time it landed, the larva’s chest, abdomen, and tail were in tatters. No matter how big a guy is, if he gets a wound like this, he’s as good as dead.

This makes two.

Who is the last one?

As I looked around, I soon discovered a huge pit. Looking at it, it looks like it has crawled under the sand again.

‘then… … .’

A technique that can be used just now flashes through my mind.

I thought about it all along.

If you were to give Luzard a special move, that is, a secret herb, what would it look like?

In fact, it wasn’t a full-fledged martial arts skill, and it wasn’t that difficult to make just one chosik.

“Whoa whoop…” … .”

I stood in front of the pit and took a deep breath. In an instant, my chest swelled to twice its size.

Rather than taking in air, it feels like it is being compressed into your lungs, taking it to its limit.

To the point where I felt a numbness beyond the stiffness.

And when it gets to the point where it is impossible to contain any more air.

“─────!”

He exhaled compressed air down the pit.

A roar so loud that I couldn’t believe it came from my mouth came out.

The moment a ripple that could only be seen on the surface of the water spread across the sandy area, the larva that had been buried under the sand jumped out with a terrible roar.

It looked like a live fish that had been struck by lightning, and blood was pouring out from every hole in its body.

‘success.’

It’s called Yongtrim.

It’s a type of sound technique, but in fact, it’s my first time using this technique, so I can’t say I have a high level of proficiency.

In fact, Yin Gong is a difficult martial art to handle if you are not skilled, because if you make a mistake, even people around you will get caught up in it.

It was used because it met certain conditions.

Since there were no allies nearby and they were hiding under the sand, it was easy to adjust the range.

Why did I suddenly use an unfamiliar pitch? … .

That’s because it’s not a technology that suits me at all.

I deliberately created a martial arts skill that Luan would never choose.

Anyway, I finished off the guy that bounced around like a live fish with my strong claws.

The battle ends here, so have I secured 300 points?

‘Should I look for the relic?’

I looked straight at the larval corpse and looked around.

It felt like there was only one person pretending to be popular. A person who never ran away despite being attacked by three centurions.

“Tongue, bro… … . “What on earth is it?”

Michael’s voice trembled.

Instead of responding, I looked elsewhere.

The place where Director Aylac was.

* * *

“… “I’m here to meet the director!”

Immediately after the appearance of three centurion-level monsters… … .

Aylac ran away without looking back and arrived at Building 106, shouting in a harsh voice.

“hey! Are you listening! This is Islac in building 107! “I came to meet the director of Building 106!”

Even if you shout at the top of your lungs, there is hardly any response.

For Aylac, the silence was strangely ominous.

Each prison cell in the labor yard has a different size, shape, and appearance… … .

In the case of building 106, which was especially powerful, it was two to three times larger than building 107, even if we estimate it as a rough guess.

However, every time Aylac stopped by building 106, she felt more reluctant than envious.

Because the building is old? Not really. To begin with, all the buildings in Susu-dong were old.

This is because of the eerie feeling felt in Building 106.

It’s better when the sun is up, but if you see it in the middle of the night, it might give you goosebumps.

“Important story-.”

Aylac paused.

The door opened, and a man with a gloomy appearance appeared.

The man had a skinny body and eyes like dried flowers.

He spoke without even showing Ailac in his empty eyes.

“Please come in.”

“… … .”

A cracked voice.

Aylac cleared her throat and went inside.

“Is the enema inside now?”

“… … .”

There was no reply.

The man walked down the corridor without any sign of presence, moving with phantom-like movements.

He looks and behaves as if he has been starving for several weeks.

Aylac followed behind, hiding her discomfort.

‘… … .’

Although this is only my third time entering building 106.

Every time Aylac visited this place, she seemed to forget that she was in a desert.

That’s because it’s a place where you can feel a strange chill.

‘… If it weren’t for the centurion, I wouldn’t go anywhere like this.’

It’s hard to hide your impatience.

His life was saved thanks to his excellent decision to run away, but how many of the other idiots survived?

It is clear that Building 107 suffered considerable damage from this raid.

… In fact, this kind of thing has been happening quite frequently in labor camps recently. The level of the monster that was appearing suddenly increased.

For this reason, there has been a recent trend of more and more sub-dongs collaborating.

Aylac had a negative stance on that trend. Because I felt bad about sharing the credit with someone.

But now that thinking has changed.

“… “The director is in here.”

“hmm. Good job… … .”

Before I could hear anything, the man who guided me left sobbing.

Aylac clicked her tongue.

“… He said he was being cheesy. “I remembered your face.”

Of course, there’s nothing that can be said about remembering, but Aylac deliberately said it in a way that made people listen.

This is because they believe that their prestige will be preserved if they show at least this kind of response.

And with a deep breath, I open the door.

“Ugh… … .”

I reflexively plugged my nose.

Because of the bad smell.

My stomach churned at the foul smell that seemed to come from a piece of rotten meat.

In fact, there were things that looked like meat scraps scattered on the floor.

It was a much darker place than the hallway, so I couldn’t tell what kind of meat it was.

Crack, cluck… … .

A sound like bones being chewed rang out in the room.

What were you eating?

Aylac once again felt as if her heart was tightening, but she spoke without forcing it to show.

“… Are you there? Gustav.”

At that moment, the sound stopped.

Hwareuk.

The pile of candles ignited on its own and began to dimly light up the surroundings.

“… … .”

Looking at the person who was eventually revealed, Aylac swallowed dry saliva.

A huge man was sitting on the ground.

It does not mean that you have a stocky physique or that you are as tall as a giant.

The man’s body was buried in fat.

The body was so enlarged that it was not enough to simply describe it as obesity, and movement seemed impossible.

Tight t-shirts and pants looked ridiculous.

And when our eyes actually meet.

The man, Gustav, grinned and showed his yellow teeth.

Aylac couldn’t laugh.

“… Siik-Sajungen. “Isn’t it human etiquette not to interfere?”

At the somewhat slurred tone of speech, Aylac trembled and responded.

“I’m sorry.”

Gustav laughed and put the meat in his mouth.

‘uh… … ?’

Aylac blinked her eyes.

This is because for a moment it appeared that the meat was infested with maggots.

‘Well, you must have looked at it wrong.’

No one in their right mind would eat something like that.

Aylac shook her head and said.

“I came because I have a suggestion.”

“proposal?”

“exactly. Now, three centurion-level monsters have appeared in our area. Well, it’s not impossible to subdue it on our own, but I always wanted to be friendly with ward 106.”

“… … .”

“If you send me a unit of useful prisoners, I will not forget and repay you.”

After speaking, Aylac pretended to be calm and glared at the other person.

Gustav, who was chomping at the food, nodded indifferently.

“Joooooh. “I accept it.”

“Thank you!”

“Daae-shin, there is something I want.”

“ah. Please speak comfortably. “I heard that you want prisoners of different races in return for your help, and there are a lot of useful people in our unit.”

“I’m sick of that now.”

“You’re sick of it?”

“huh. “Ji, I want to eat you.”

“… … .”

Somewhat belatedly, Aylac tilted her head and asked.

“What do you want to eat?”

Aylac Balzac, former southern mercenary, 36 years old.

It is clear that he could not have imagined that those words would become his will.

Suddenly, Gustav’s mouth opened in an impossible way and swallowed Ailak’s head.

With one bite, his head disappeared, and with two bites, his upper body disappeared, and by the time he moved his jaw three times, there was no trace of the human called Ailak.

Crack, cluck.

Gustav puffed out his cheeks like a squirrel and moved his chin with a happy expression.

The taste of blood and flesh in my mouth was special.

It was a shame that there was no seasoning called fear and fear, but sometimes you want to eat food without seasoning.

“gulp… … . Oh my… … !”

Right after I let out a refreshing burp, the candles went out at the same time.

Gustav laughed alone in the dark.

“Well, after all, humans never get tired of eating… … . Oh ho, oh hohohoho… oh… … !”

Gustav, startled, cleared his throat.

“Now, you have to control yourself… … . “Kum, hmm, hmm!”

Gustav, who forced himself to keep a blank expression for a moment, soon began to grin again as if he had burst out laughing.

“Ahhh… … . This thing that imitates humans… After all, it’s fun… … .”
