The Hero Disciple Is Back

EP.35 – 34. Master’s younger brother is strong

“… What happened last night?”

“Nothing happened… !”

“… … .”

At first glance, Balik didn’t seem to be in a normal state, but since he’s trying to hide it, there’s no need to forcefully dig it up.

Maybe he felt so good about becoming a superman that he experimented with his new powers all night? It was natural for me to want to do it, so I decided to pretend I didn’t know as an older brother.

“Are you going back?”

“I didn’t even apply for a vacation in the first place, so I have to go back quickly.”

“… hey. Mercenary King.”

“hahahaha, the mercenary king. Shouldn’t you be qualified to be called the mercenary king only if you can make your own decisions about your vacation? Ha ha ha ha!”

“… … .”

‘Wrong, this guy… . Unless I do something!’

But what am I going to do now that I have retired? Shouldn’t the world’s work be left to the young people living in the world? Saying this makes me feel like a very old man. I’m only looking at age, but I’m still on active duty. However, since he has retired, what is the point of arguing whether his age is active or not? After all, it’s just a body that has retired and lives in seclusion.

‘Young people suffer. That’s how I become a rotten career person step by step.’

I expressed my deepest condolences to the young people who are suffering and will continue to suffer under such a boss.

“Don’t bully the kids below. Don’t you know that there’s no such thing as a bad guy for a mercenary?”

“Yeah~yeah~ Now, rest assured that I am more experienced than you.”

… Having said that, I couldn’t be more at ease. To make people feel so anxious, if this is an ability, isn’t it an ability?

“I’ll bring you a good drink next time.”

“What do you mean by bringing alcohol to the house of someone who doesn’t drink well as a gift?”

“In your brother’s case, it’s not that you can’t drink, it’s that you don’t drink, right? Then no problem.”

“… Are there only problems?”

“Khehehehe! oh Since you have received valuable teaching, shouldn’t you pay for it?”

“You don’t get that kind of thing from your brother.”

“Really. I’m so glad my brother is hiding. I can only imagine if my older brother hadn’t retired… . Ugh.”

“… Are you crying?”

“no! nothing!”

… Did you have a nightmare while sleeping? Are you in a very strange state?

♧♧♧

Balik, who was far away from Jade’s hideout, let out a heavy sigh and muttered,

“Ugh. I’m really glad that you retired.”

Due to his nature, if he hadn’t retired, he would still be working hard for someone. The problem is, can’t ‘that guy’ just watch it? Obviously, people other than my older brother would have had to bleed instead, and one of the most likely victims would have been himself. So, Valik couldn’t help but sincerely thank his brother for going into seclusion.

“Egogo. It hurts.”

How… . I wonder if even a wolf can beat it thoroughly so that it doesn’t show on the outside. It wasn’t something cute like a skill to imitate people, but a skill that literally tortured people thoroughly. I did such a technique with the power of a superhuman. There was no way Balik’s body would be fine.

The cost of letting go of tension was so great that Valik took those lessons to heart, determined to never let go of tension.

Is that so?

“Is ‘this’ like God’s will to live with the lesson that you shouldn’t let go of tension and live more deeply?”

The beginning of the mountain where the hideout is located is full of corpses. Just looking at it, it seemed as if he had come in without knowing anything and was changed. It wasn’t that the herbalist who searched the mountain to pick herbs came in and suffered a change. This is because a kind of mental barrier magic is installed on the mountain, making it so that ordinary people do not even want to enter this mountain. In other words, entering this mountain was no different from proving that they were not ordinary people.

“Are they assassins?”

Did you target your brother?

no no

My older brother has long since retired and lives in seclusion.

rather than that brother

“Is my neck the purpose?”

It wasn’t that he committed all sorts of heinous crimes by relying only on his strength, but that was the case with mercenary work. Isn’t it a job that sees blood in the first place? Of course, resentment will follow. In addition, he was the greatest mercenary king among the mercenaries, and there were many who wanted his head just for profit.

“right. I thought it was an opportunity to come out of the mercenary guild and come to a place without people like this… . I hope there are such pitfalls. Thanks to this, all the young juniors who followed this old woman, saying that they wanted to learn something, died. Tsk tsk.”

A figure, armed entirely in black, with the words ‘I am an assassin,’ was sitting on a stone. From his posture and energy, Valik could easily tell that he was an old man.

No matter how much assassins don’t value their subordinates, they say things so that they don’t feel any emotion as if they’ve broken a toy, even calling themselves an old lady… . Balik knew the identity of this person at once.

“A superhuman assassin? I heard you were looking for it long ago?”

“Help. This old woman will die.”

Superhuman Assassin

Literally.

An assassin who has reached the level of a superman, that’s why he is currently evaluated as the only assassin who can assassinate a superman, and that’s why his nickname is also a ‘superman assassin’. He is one of the giants who can wield great power in the underworld. However, everyone thought that the Superman Assassin seemed to have died as much as a considerable amount of time had passed since the move was cut off, and the time when he was active in the first place was also old.

He never thought that such a superhuman assassin would appear in front of him.

“So why did you suddenly appear when you thought you’d retired, retired, or didn’t commit any more assassinations anyway?”

“Is there anything? Just as a swordsman cannot abandon his sword, and a wizard cannot abandon magic, it is also natural that an assassin cannot abandon assassination.”

“What are you saying so grandly that you can just say that you went crazy with blood and missed the taste of blood so much that you returned? ‘It’s only natural for a crazy person to do crazy things.’ It takes all kinds of forms to just say that. Aren’t you ashamed?”

“… You’re cheeky. Do you think that you have become anything just because you have reached the level of a superhuman, no matter what you did? Anyway, you guys have just entered superhuman… .”

“Haaam. Old man, I didn’t sleep well last night. If you’re going to shout out loud that something like me is really no big deal, prove how quickly you can finish it. No, you said you were going to kill me anyway in the first place? What are you talking about when you catch someone to kill? Are you crazy, so your hobby is also crazy?”

“This bastard!!!!!!!!!!”

In the end, the superhuman assassin who lost his mind because he couldn’t completely dry himself off from Balik’s teeth made up his mind to kill him. The two half-moon-shaped daggers that symbolize him were held in both hands, revealing themselves.

“huh! Even if you become superhuman at best, if the swordsman does not have a sword, his power will be halved! The price of that trashy mouth! Don’t take it with your death!”

As if he had teleported, he attacked Balik at the speed of light.

The Superman Assassin was confident of his victory. It was natural for a swordsman to not be able to fully demonstrate his power without a sword. Above all, without a sword, he would not be able to use the Aura Blade properly. However, on the other hand, his double daggers were completely stained with Aura Blades.

He reached Balik in an instant and swung the dagger in both hands without hesitation.

said it was over

He sincerely thought so.

so that

aaa!!!!

“Queueek!!!”

When I let out a strange scream and rolled on the ground

Despite the apparent tremendous pain in the stomach,

he is

I had no idea that it had happened to me.

It has already happened in reality, but the accident has not caught up with reality. But there was no problem. It was because the pain of living hell, as if all of his organs had been ripped out, hit his brain and made him aware of his reality even when he didn’t want to.

“Khehehe! what! What! What is it!!!!!”

Why did you put yourself in this situation?

Why did he have to stomp on the ground and suffer from maddening pain to a swordsman who didn’t hold a sword? The superhuman assassin couldn’t come to his senses because he fell into a vicious cycle of a terrible living hell where he could go crazy because of the maddening pain, but couldn’t go crazy because of the maddening pain.

“I heard that when I saw the superhuman assassin’s double dagger, it had already been decapitated… . It was dog noise. It’s nothing.”

Seeing that the superhuman assassin’s double dagger, which was known as a symbol of fear, was shattered, Balik expressed his feelings. The process and results were simple. As the superhuman assassin rushes toward him on his own, he just puts the blade in his fist and puts it in one shot to finish it in one shot… It was just a story.

From Balik’s point of view, it was a truly absurd ending.

I never thought that the fight against the superhuman assassin, the first superhuman I would fight with except for Sera, would end so futile.

‘Haven’t I become too strong?’

Could it be that he became so strong that he couldn’t even feel the joy of fighting, and that’s why he felt nothing but a terrible sense of futility in fighting? Wouldn’t that be the end? I felt that kind of fear for a moment… .

‘a. Are the Demon King’s forces weak? It will be strong, for sure. maybe… .’

He decided to put his hope(?) on the Demon King’s army.

“Queueek!”

He was hit by Balik’s fist containing the Aura Blade. There was no hole in his stomach because he was protecting his body with considerable auras even after he rotted, but Valik’s aura blade penetrated his stomach, and as a result, his body was literally a mess. Obviously, since what is contained in Balik’s fist is the Aura Blade, the basic property of cutting and destroying has not changed at all.

“What are the last words you want to say?”

“ruler. sleep… Cool!”

“Yeah, no. Got it.”

The Superman Assassin had a lot of last words he wanted to say, but… . Did you just think it was over and didn’t use that good notice, or did you realize it as much as you were smart enough to notice it, but pretended not to know it on purpose… Only the mercenary king Valik knows the truth.

As a result

It is impossible to think that a being who was notorious enough to make an era tremble with fear and fear had lived such a grandiose life. was greeted with

And obviously, the person who made the achievement didn’t care as if it was nothing. Rather he… .

“Sigh… . I guess I have to sort this all out? … If I don’t do it, I’m sure he’ll say something… . Whew.”

He was just busy worrying about tidying up.
