The Hero Disciple Is Back

EP.37 – 36. The bond between the teacher and the disciple intersects

Originally, the magic sword should have been in the hands of the surrounding nobles. It was because he held a ritual to summon the demon sword, saying that immortality might be achieved through the power of the demon sword. However, the condition of the demonic sword was incomplete because it was only a poor imitation of an ancient document. So, no problem occurred until the magician who summoned the magic sword on behalf of the noble delivered the magic sword to the noble. However, the moment the aristocrat unknowingly fed the magic sword with his own blood, the incomplete magic sword became perfect and ran out of control.

Sera knew that, so she was monitoring that noble. If there was a problem, it was that the nobles who happened with a very low probability detected the surveillance network. Most of the nobles suffered without being able to keep an eye on them until the end, but in a few rounds, there were cases in which they became aware of the surveillance network due to a staggering coincidence with very heinous probability, and this round was, of course, the case. Because of that, the aristocrat gave instructions to the wizard to come to the territory by using a different route, and the wizard, who did not know anything, went directly to the route where the bandits were located, and the bandit leader took away the demonic sword.

Fortunately, Sera, who had read the magic sword’s energy, acted quickly, so the worst was averted.

“I’ve seen it really boring, but it’s a collection of demonic energy that makes me sick.”

At least, the Sword Demon had dealt a huge blow, so even though he had weakened a lot, he felt nauseous. No matter how many times I tried, I really couldn’t get used to it. But it was rather fortunate. Rather than adapting to such a thing, it is better for yourself to never adapt.

“My! please!!! Kill me!!!!!!”

The sword demon’s disciple screamed and tried to stop it somehow, but the demon sword ignored it. The demonic sword just rushed to make the newly appeared one its own host. If the power was perfect, he would have discarded the sword demon’s apprentice, just like the bandit boss, but the current demon sword had lost most of its power, so it couldn’t do that, and it had no choice but to rush into it in an incomplete state.

It was a foolish choice that happened because he had a desire to survive, but he did not have outstanding intelligence. Because the thing in front of me wasn’t something like an excellent swordsman. Literally, an existence that brings nothing but despair to the demonic sword. To the demonic sword, the demonic sword was rushing at the existence that was the ‘god of death’ itself, not knowing what it was.

Therefore, it could be seen that the foolish demonic sword chose the path of self-destruction.

Shaaang!

Sera’s aura blade stained with ‘Anti-Auror’ cut through the wind and cut the demonic sword.

Squeaky!

The black demonic energy that had been filling the inside of the demonic sword splattered and disappeared as if blood were flowing from a huge wound.

dump!

Due to the extinction of the demonic sword, the disciple of the sword demon who was holding the ‘dagger that was a demonic sword’ collapsed as it was.

Considering the history of the demonic sword, which is said to have always caused disaster, it was a truly futile ending. In the first place, ‘Anti Aura’ itself can be seen as a natural ending for the technology created for the Great Demon King and the demonic sword that is incomparable to the Devil King.

“Once the demonic sword has been sorted out.”

Sera immediately checked the status of the sword demon’s apprentice. Fortunately, it was an internal injury that could be recovered with treatment. Considering that he had been possessed by a demonic sword, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was lucky. No, it would be the correct expression to say that the teacher’s earnestness for his pupil protected him. I took the disciple and the ‘dagger that was a demonic sword’ that the disciple was holding and headed to the Sword Demon.

“… I don’t know who it is, but thank you.”

he was dying

Archmage William was pouring healing magic beside him, but that would have been all he could do to pass the time. Sarah looked up and William shook his head.

“I am a very young junior. Please feel free to speak.”

“… It’s unbelievable that you’ve walked the path of the sword for so long.”

“… … .”

“I won’t ask too deeply. It’s meaningless to a dying old man… . But won’t you answer me for this?”

“If I can answer you”

“A mercenary with gray hair… . Is it related?”

Because Sera finished the magic sword in an instant, the sword demon saw her swordsmanship as an instant. It was only for a moment, but I felt it clearly. It was said that it was very similar to the swordsmanship wielded by that gray-haired mercenary who never collapsed in front of himself.

“This is my master.”

Sera admired, thinking to herself, ‘As expected of a sword demon.’ At Sera’s level, swordsmanship isn’t that important. It was because the path of the sword she walked was so long that no superhuman could think of it. That’s why she can perfectly handle any swordsmanship, and swordsmanship was just a matter of choice for her. And it was a very natural choice for her to wield the sword with Jade’s swordsmanship as much as possible. The Sword Demon, who had seen Jade’s swordsmanship in the past, figured it out after a brief glance.

“is it… . Indeed… .”

“Do you know my master?”

“Crazy for the sword… . When we were on the battlefield, we met as enemies and exchanged swords.”

“… … .”

For a moment, Sera almost screamed at the fact that the Sword Demon was Master’s enemy, but soon realized that it was strange. She knows exactly who her mentor is. Master can take time against the Sword Demon, but that’s the limit. In the end, he has no choice but to end his life by the sword of the sword demon. The gap was so obvious. However, Master was alive and became his own Master. That is… .

“Did you save me?”

“… no What made me want to kill him was that man, so it was his ability.”

The Sword Demon closed his eyes. I remember it even at this moment. The brilliant eyes of the man who swung his sword, saying he would protect others even at the risk of his own life… . Something that he who has lived his life only chasing the path of the sword can never have… . A very rare thing in this world, and therefore a very valuable thing… . He couldn’t bear to dirty it with his own hands. It’s natural to think that you don’t want to stain something precious. Therefore, it was to some extent the man’s ability to make him feel that way, and never the result of himself.

“I lived swinging my sword while staring at it. I’ve reached the level of superhuman… . There was only the black sword in this hand. But… .”

The Sword Demon reached out with difficulty and stroked the disciple’s head.

“At the end of the last… . There’s something else besides the sword… .”

And to say goodbye to something so precious… .

“As expected, other than the sword… . Everything is heavy… .”

That’s why, in the end, he always misses everything except the sword… .

With those words, the man who had lived with the title of a sword demon accepted his last words and closed his eyes.

♧♧♧

When the Sword Demon opened his eyes again

I thought what awaited me was the horrors of hell.

It was because he had accumulated so many sins that it wouldn’t be strange to be punished by falling into inferno and suffering eternally. No matter how much you use the cause of war… . In the end, the fact that he had killed countless people saying he would see the end of the sword path did not change.

That’s why I was surprised.

Even when I opened my eyes, what awaited me was because it wasn’t something like a sea of fire from hell.

“… You are alive.”

Since he was a superhuman, there were no sensory errors or illusions. Therefore, he soon realized that he was alive and that it was the living space where he lived with his pupil.

“That’s a funny reaction.”

Turning his head, he could see the person checking his condition. However, the first thing that caught my eye was the pointy lower part of the eyes.

“Elf?”

“Elf Riel. So I thought I was dead, but how does it feel to be alive and not die?”

“… Right. It’s a feeling that’s hard to explain.”

“What is it that is natural?”

“How did I not die?”

“Ask the hero who saved you about it.”

“Warrior?”

“Only a hero can destroy a demonic sword so easily.”

“… Right.”

His disciple also had outstanding talent, but the warrior was a wall that could not be crossed, so the Sword Demon had no choice but to agree.

At that time, the door opened and the person involved, the hero Sera, appeared.

“You recovered consciousness earlier than expected. The only word that comes to mind is ‘as expected, the sword demon’. First of all, I apologize for using it without permission because it was close.”

“It’s okay. As long as it’s a life saver, it’s fine. But could you please answer my question first? How am I alive?”

Even if he becomes the host of the demonic sword, he even touches the original source and completely destroys it so that he can end it in the hands of his disciple. In other words, resurrecting one’s own body was impossible unless a saintess came and caused a miracle from God. He was a superman, so I was sure. That his future was only death.

but lived

It was absolutely impossible unless a miracle of God happened.

But the Sword Demon knew best.

Make sure to read from noble mtl dot com

Just as God didn’t punish him, miracles couldn’t happen either.

“I wasn’t just seriously injured. Literally, life itself was lacking. And even a saint can’t do anything about the vitality.”

“Yes, there is no wrong knowledge there. Not a single thing was wrong. I just don’t know.”

“What do you not know?”

“Simple reason. If it can absorb life force, wouldn’t it be possible to release life force on the contrary?”

Sarah showed the correct answer.

It was the ‘dagger that was a magic sword’.

“… But even so, the vitality of demonic energy must be extremely strong for humans… .”

“Did you see it? My aura blade annihilated the demonic sword so easily. It’s not difficult to annihilate demonic energy and make it clean enough that it doesn’t matter if you give it to a human.”

“… … .”

In a way, ‘Oh! That’s right!’, but he was superhuman. That’s why I couldn’t help but realize how absurd the girl was talking. In the first place, I had no choice but to know how absurd the story was from the fact that only the existence of the demonic sword was annihilated without losing any of its vitality. Does it make sense that the furniture in the house was not sooted at all and only the house was burnt clean? That girl had done it twice in a row. It does not dissipate the life force of the demonic sword, but only annihilates the demonic sword cleanly, and cleanly extinguishes only the demonic energy from the vitality stained with the remaining demonic energy, leaving only clean vitality. In addition, handling that vitality and allowing it to settle into the body of another person perfectly was also a special ability that was difficult for even a saint to do.

It was a series of absurd acts that even the Sword Demon, who had reached the level of a superman a long time ago and had lived as a superman longer than anyone else, would not even have the will to take on the challenge. They all succeeded one after another. miracle of god? No, even if God himself appeared before him, he couldn’t help but believe it.

Who are you?

Such questions filled my mouth… .

“Right.”

The Sword Demon did not spit out.

Because you shouldn’t dare to show the appearance of doubting the lifesaver.

Even if you can’t repay the favor to the benefactor, you should not dare to do anything that will make you feel that you are repaying the favor with your enemy.

There was only one thing he could do for her now.

“A life once dead. I have gained a new life thanks to my benefactor, so I will gladly use and use this life for you. Give any orders. This old man’s sword will cut all your enemies.”

“I have a lot of enemies, will you be okay?”

“On the contrary, it is good news for me. At least there won’t be anything I can’t do to repay the favor.”

The Sword Demon always disappeared with his apprentice. Because he knew long ago that a candidate for a hero is nothing more than a meat shield with a plausible name. That’s why he chose to disappear to protect his disciples, no, his family. Could it be said that it was the sword demon’s fault? Wouldn’t it be more wrong to try to use a poor child as a shield saying that he wants to live because the empire, which had never done anything in the first place, is in crisis? That’s why Sera never thought that the sword demon’s actions were wrong.

But I never thought the day would come when such a sword demon would become my own sword.

In addition, it turns out that there was a time when he passed without killing Jade even though he could be killed… .

It is truly unknown what a human relationship is. If he hadn’t met Jade, this would have been a bond he wouldn’t have had if he hadn’t changed because of Jade. All of these things were obtained because of Jade.

‘… miss you.’

I miss Master’s face so much.

I want to be praised.

‘But let’s be patient… . You can’t see it directly.’

But that didn’t mean there was no ‘number’.

“lord”

Archmage William approached.

“It is said that ‘it’ is finally complete.”

At those words, Sarah was able to smile heartily.

She couldn’t help but be happy that she was finally able to quench her ‘thirst’ even a little.

It was a day with so much to gain, she sincerely thought.
