My Disciples Know That I Am Strong

Episode 15. Defending the Underworld (End)

We moved to the forest area created by Orient and joined the two warriors. Fortunately, Tina and Iris didn’t go over to the demon realm, so they were quickly found.

“Tina, Iris.”

“Teacher!”

“Master!”

The two warriors, who were holding their forearms and gasping for breath, showed joy as they saw me. The two smiling people looked at the blood smeared on my clothes and their eyes widened.

“Su, Master! Blood!”

“Master! Are you okay?”

He comes to me in a hurry and checks my physical condition. Seeing that they were worried about me first, even though they were also seriously injured from fighting Peremus, it felt like they were worried about their daughter.

Is this the father’s heart? Okay, if I ever have children, I will definitely give birth to a daughter.

“The treatment is complete. You don’t have to worry. Than that…… You seem to have held up well against Peremus. It is extraordinary.”

I stroked Tina’s hair with her bloodless hand, then Iris.

The two warriors laughed awkwardly at my words and hid their arms behind their bodies.

It seemed that he had a sprain or fracture in his arm as he took Peremus’ punches again and again.

No matter how much time you have trained with the characteristics of a hero, Annie, who is still young, would not have been able to fully capture his power.

“Do you have the potion I gave you? Drink it The tingling will be better.”

“…… Yes.”

As I watched the two warriors move their trembling hands to take out a potion from their bag, Orient stabbed me in the arm.

“Hey, I want you to return that sword soon. Now that Peremus knows that my mana is connected to the roots of the World Tree, I need to move the roots of the World Tree as well. Please come.”

I shook my head as I saw Orient proudly extending his hand.

“Orient, the Spirit King, you may not believe it, but this sword is no longer a sword for maintaining the sanctuary.”

“What are you talking about all of a sudden?”

“Once this sword is pulled out, it no longer functions as a sanctuary.”

“Yes?”

At my words she had her face distraught. The eyes that stare blankly at me wander.

I can understand her reaction, but it was all true.

This was because in the game, once the ‘Guardian of the Sanctuary’ was picked up, it was assigned to the warrior’s sword, and the ability itself changed.

Originally, it is a sword that requires you to have the ‘Sanctuary’ skill, but it was for this reason that it changed to ‘Absolute Realm’ when I used it.

“What does that mean… ….”

“Before drawing, this sword’s ability was ‘Sanctuary’, but the ability I used was ‘Absolute Realm’. Unlike the sanctuary, the absolute realm has the effect of slowing down time and sharpening the senses, but it does not prevent you from entering the realm.”

“Ser, no way… ….”

“Yes. It means that this sword is no longer used to protect the roots of the World Tree.”

“You dare… ! How dare you deceive me, the spirit king?!”

“I didn’t cheat. This sword was originally made just for that purpose.”

“Don’t be ridiculous!”

It’s true.

All artifacts in this world were made only for the warriors. If it’s unfair, ask the developer.

“If you don’t believe it, you can try putting it back into the root of the world tree. If that doesn’t work, I want the hero to be able to use this weapon.”

Orient gets angry when he speaks nonchalantly as usual. Living for me is growing. The skin is tingling and goose bumps appear.

Then I felt a vibration in the ground. It seems like they’re going to throw a skill at me right now.

As I watched, the warriors and Ariel stood in front of me as if to protect them.

“Orient, calm down. Prause does not mean to harm you.”

“Ariel… …. You are my…… Chi, since we’re friends, we’ll understand most things, but not this one. It is my mission to protect the roots of the world tree. It’s not easy to endure without sanctuary.”

“No matter how spread out the sanctuary is, corps commander-level demons can break through. In that case, it is far better to constantly reposition the roots.”

“This… this person…… ! The thief is coming!”

It shuddered, revealing its hostility towards me, then screamed.

“First of all, I asked for this sword, but you gave it to me.”

I shrug my shoulders and counter it lightly. She strides towards me and takes away the white sword in my hand, the guardian of the sanctuary.

“I will plug it in and see it! Just wait!”

Orient disappears. And 2 minutes later.

“Profit! Ariel!! This is a bad baby! “

Throwing away his sword, he repeatedly pointed his finger at me. Ariel, who saw Orient crying a lot, gave her a bitter smile and moderately sympathized with her.

“Well, not a good bastard… ….”

Hey. Deny it there. How hard I run for the world.

I let go of Orient’s loud words and picked up her sword. She said as she brushed the dirt off her white sword.

“Don’t worry. There will be no demons attacking the root of the World Tree.”

“…… How can you be sure of that?”

‘Because there are warriors.’

“Because I am.”

…… ?

You said it so confidently that even I couldn’t understand the meaning for a moment.

I’m not even a hero, what the hell do you mean it’s okay because I’m here?

“Not even a hero.”

That’s right. I don’t know what I’m talking about on a weak subject.

But since I already said it, I decided to build up my pride until the end.

“I don’t think anyone can do a blow to Peremus.”

From noble mtl dot com

“That… Even so……. The difference between having a sanctuary and not having a sanctuary is that the psychological stability is different.”

I’m sure you’ll feel anxious if something disappears.

At the moment when he was wondering if he would understand if I explained it, Iris took a step forward and said.

“But I don’t think you need to worry.”

“Huh? Why?”

I was dissatisfied with something. Why are you talking respectfully to Iris, who is so young, while talking to me?

“For the past three years, Master has not said a single wrong word. I’m sure Master will be able to protect the roots of the World Tree.”

Thank you for looking forward to it, but first of all, I’m much weaker than you think, right? Responsibility and what not? If it gets dangerous, will you run away?!

“…… We’ll have to wait and see! Joy!”

She frowns and snorts her. Watching her shake her head, her iris shifted her gaze to me and she smiled softly.

‘Did I do well?’ She seemed to ask. Instead of answering her, I stroked her hair.

“…… First of all, Ariel, I will go to adjust the roots of the World Tree.”

“Orient.”

“What else, damn human. If you’re trying to say goodbye before we part, stop.”

What a damn human being. Isn’t that too much?

“…… You, make a contract with Maria.”

If Maria contracts Orient, who can directly bring the power of the World Tree, Maria will be able to use much more powerful magic than before, even if she uses the same magic.

“Ha? I don’t know why I have to listen to you.”

“For the safety of the spirit realm, wouldn’t it be better for the spirit king to sign a contract with a hero? In the end, even your role of protecting the root of the World Tree would be meaningless if the human world collapsed.”

“That… That’s right, but—— Oh, you’re really pissed off!”

I flinched at Orient’s unexpected and sudden acceleration.

“Why are you always saying the right things? Annoying.”

“…… So what’s the answer?”

“I will think about it!”

With that said, it teleports away and disappears.

Even if I say that, in the end I will make a contract with Maria. If that happens, it will be possible to obtain the ‘Divine Sword – Terra’ and make Maria’s final weapon.

“But Master, I killed a demon. Won’t the demons come to kill us?

Maria, who had been watching quietly, asked me cautiously.

“Not right away. They will need time to reorganize.”

The possibility that the Great War of Man-Mas could take place this year kept popping up in my mind, but I rather thought that the demons would not invade.

Removed the two central firepower of the 1st corps, which is said to be the strongest among the demon corps. One of them was at the rank of Vice Commander.

I’m sure they’re reorganizing their corps, so they won’t be able to attack right away. Besides, knowing that this side also has the power to deal with the corps, you won’t be able to move the corps recklessly.

So while I had time, I had to hurry up farming against the demons.

“For now, let’s go back to Aus Manor.”

* * *

“Peremus… …. Two of your legion’s mightiest men are dead. One of them was a deputy corps commander who could lead the corps when you had a problem.”

“Sorry. The warriors knew we were moving.”

“Ha… …. The second-ranked person in the Demon Realm was only whimpering at a hero or something, so you’re saying that’s an excuse?”

“Orient’s magical sealing penalty is—”

Hook! Hooked!

“Big uh…… !”

A thorn from Blas stuck in his chest. The impure ‘curse’ seeped into Peremus’ hard body and severed every single nerve cell in his body.

“Ahh!”

Even Peremus couldn’t bear the intense pain and let out a moan.

“If it was a place where Magi could not be used freely, it would be a good story if it was moved to a place where it could be used. It was all because he was arrogant. Am I wrong?”

“… No, that’s right.”

Peremus answered while biting his teeth. Blas listened to his answer and retrieved the thorn. Only then will his nerve cells recover again.

“Heo Eok! Huh!”

Refresh your breathing while shaking off the pain you don’t want to experience again. It’s unforgivable to be disheveled in front of the demon king.

“Whoa… Demon King……. I have one thing to tell you.”

“What is it?”

“On the human side, there was a person with magical power similar to Maou-sama.”

Vlas’ ears perked up at Peremus’ words. It was a reaction that came out of interest.

“…… Is that what Habito said?”

“Yes. He had a lot more power than the hero. The person who killed Pero will be judged by that man.”

“How was it?”

Peremus hesitated, remembering the blow he had taken from Prauss.

“…… He had strength equal to mine.”

“What?”

“I only split the sum once, but after lightly receiving my demonic energy, I counterattacked.”

“Among those who are not warriors…… Are there such people? Even the S-class adventurers aren’t quite up to your level, right?”

“He was stronger than the man who wounded me. Maybe, he’s more than a hero…….”

The two high-ranking demons were sharing sounds that would have shook their heads from side to side if Prauss had heard them.

“That kind of person came out. This war may not be easy.”

“Anyway, the man Habito talked about seems to have destroyed all of Pero’s attacks. He had a wound in his abdomen, but other than that he had no wounds.”

“That means… ….”

“Yes. Pero’s attack, as you know, is very complex. To avoid that with only one wound, it seems that there is someone among us demons who told us how to attack Pero.”

It was an illusion no one intended.

At the words of Peremus, a darkness gradually fell on Blas’ face. A bloody feeling that would destroy everything spreads through the audience room.

Blas was a reaction because he hated the betrayal of the same demon tribe more than the defeat of the demon tribe by humans.

“It is necessary to find out whether there is a spy on the Asmodian side.”

“The demon…… Are you on the side of humans? There are no crazy bastards.”

Blass Whale rises from the throne.

“Okay, if you know Pero’s attack pattern, it must be a demon belonging to your legion. Find out who he is Raising the army comes after that.”

“Okay.”

“We will not tolerate traitors in the Legion.”

Peremus bowed his head deeply, then got up and left the audience room.

“You bastard who brought me such shame……. I will definitely kill you.”

Remembering Prause, he moved to the area where the 1st Legion was located.

In this way, the duel between the humans and the demons ended with the death of one of the demons’ deputy corps commanders.

And then a year passed.
