Chapter 169 – 168. Tongs (1)

It’s been a week since I left Spartal, where there was a lot of talk and trouble.

Gawain is gradually recovering, and I lose my anger as I look at Elizabeth, who attacked Dick and broke the sword I made for her, and Elizabeth looks confused.

She is so angry that he sees Elizabeth pulling her cheeks and trying to convince him that no matter what he does, he will not be punished.

And as a bonus, there is Luffy, a new member of the party, and Eris, the successor to the Demon King who must now survive on her own without any servants.

Of course, there is Aris, and Aris is starting to become more and more adept at using my magic.

After all, where doesn’t the monster’s blood go?

And as a bonus, Merlin also takes an interest in Aris and teaches her various illusions.

Illusion is something that involves hypnotizing, creating illusions, and dealing with dreams.

And even seeing the past in dreams and killing dreams.

“That’s right, you’re good. Now, that’s how dream killing is used. If you stab an enemy in a dream, the enemy in real life will also be affected and die like, ‘Ahh!'”

“Wow, killing even in a dream can have an effect in reality as well-“

“What are you teaching a kid who hasn’t even had blood on his head yet?”

Aris is amazed at that, and is amazed as he looks at the frog that just died with its eyes turned white from a dream kill.

Merlin was teaching it to Aris, and I was scolding him about it.

However, Merlin is like that or not.

“Huh? Did I teach him something wrong? There will come a time in the near future when he will have to fight too, right?”

“I won’t let that happen.”

It’s enough for just one child to have human blood on their hands. And me at that time, those who tried to kill me, and even Magia’s educational policy of teaching young children how to kill enemies with magic.

I directly refuted all of that.

Likewise with Lorraine, I didn’t let her get blood on her hands until she was fully prepared, and I said fuck it to her and took her out and trained her in my own way.

That was possible because I was the son of a consul and at the same time an untouchable mage.

“I know you were an excellent mage in Magia. But would that really work in the world? Don’t you know the answer too, Clark?”

“So, you know it won’t work, so just give up. If you’re going to say something like that, get out of there.”

“Aha~ The human will to challenge the impossible is always beautiful. You are a being of the stars, but you have the will of a human. That’s why it’s fun. So I’ll watch you gain strength. Mortus, why is that old woman watching you? I think I know if it’s there~”

“Is this bitch crazy? You’re calling someone a grandmother when you say you’re a grandmother too.”

“Just get along well and say goodbye to both of them. They’re not worthy of their age.”

“Do you want to die?” X2

Dick speaks to the two women, and soon after, the two women get angry at him, but Dick raises his middle finger and gestures for them to go fuck themselves. It’s always a dick-down remark.

And I look at Aris.

Merlin,

And the dream killer that Merlin told Aris about.

And Merlin, who taught us the path to becoming a dream walker.

I thought about complaining to Merlin for telling me about this and interfering with my education, but I never thought that Aris would easily accept that.

Above all, the words spoken by Aris towards her Merlin, who had already realized her magic circuit and wanted to follow her own path as a wizard.

“This is fun!”

“Really? It’s fun, right? But, you have to think about it carefully. You’ll never wake up from the dream again. You can’t use it carelessly. Understood?”

“…I don’t know what you’re thinking, Merlin, but if you do something like this one more time, you better prepare yourself.”

“Oh, I taught you this so that you can get along well, but are you like this?”

I’m trying to get along well.

When they give you a knife and emphasize that you shouldn’t swing it carelessly, isn’t it as if you want them to swing it?

There is a lot to say about this.

If I stop you from doing this, you will slyly reply by saying that you don’t trust your disciple.

Dick looks at Merlin and shakes his head and waves his hand to tell him to give up.

“Give up. Anyway, that bitch is a psycho who thinks it’s okay to do anything to see what’s fun for her.”

“That’s too much. Even though I look like this, I raised Arthur?”

“That’s why I drove Arthur to death. By giving him strength.”

“The island of Britannia needs a leader. That was just Arthur. Likewise, the child is not on the path of the Demon King, but he needs strength to walk down the path with his teacher, right? I just want to see the end of that path.”

“So you’re lashing out at someone else’s student? That’s a very psychotic way of thinking.”

“Do you understand my grand plan?”

“Do you understand? What kind of understanding can you give a crazy person? Don’t be a fucking idiot, really. Before I kill you.”

“Kyaaah! I’m scared Clark~ Dick is trying to kill me.”

“Why are you doing this? You’re not even afraid.”

“Tch, it’s hard.”

Merlin, who was clinging to me and avoiding Dick, pouted her mouth, but there was no use looking at it that way.

“The left grandmother, the right grandmother. This is the golden sun that conquered even the grandmothers. Isn’t this the image of the golden sun?”

“What are you talking about? Now you’re talking like an Oriental from the Chiu Continent, you crazy guy.”

Listening to an old man’s nonsense is also work. In the first place, just being able to maintain my sanity and come to my senses when I need to is a very virtuous thing.

And Dick said to me:

“Did you say the next one is Carlos’ territory?”

“Clarke, no matter what you find, please kill that son of a bitch. Please.”

“…”

Elizabeth is foaming at the mouth and making a fuss of her own. Of course, Count Carlos. A famous corrupt noble from Frisia. Naturally, he is an aristocrat who is extremely shitty in many ways because he has a lot of money and connections due to the title he obtained through selling magic.

The place to arrive the next day was the Ross Estate, and Elizabeth drank a bowl of whiskey as if displeased. At the same time, she looked at Luffy, who was swinging a sword behind her, and then she said.

“There, little Luffy. Lower your stance a little and raise your arms a little more. If you can’t even hit down properly, how are you going to swing the sword?”

“…Do you know that you are ordering this for the 5,000th time?!”

“Add 5,000 more times.”

The disciple… Talk back?

Naturally, the price for talking back to the teacher who taught swordsmanship was harsh. According to Elizabeth’s theory, what is needed to swing a sword is stamina. And she said she had muscular endurance.

They are Nephilim, and of course their body’s recovery power is unrivaled. It’s recovery is fast enough to be comparable to that of monsters, and since Ilias is also around, the recovery is even stronger.

The Archangels, Michaela, Gabriella, and even Adramelech, are eager to teach martial arts.

“Ugh, really- I just make you cut down every time- what difference does this make-”

“At least you can definitely break the enemy’s bone. And what do you mean, why do you want to learn a sword if you can’t even do that properly? Do you think learning martial arts can be learned overnight?”

“No matter what, you should get cut on your body.”

“No, you’re a wizard to begin with!”

“… He is a wizard, but he knows how to use his fists and even perform submissions. How much do you think I must have been twisted by the old man in front of me to learn this?”

“ANG! This is what you want! ANG Get Some ANG!”

Crazy guy. That damn thing again just because I drank alcohol.

Of course, I prepared the commonly known wrestling techniques for submissions.

Luffy is also disgusted as he looks at Dick, who is holding the arms of a doll used to train something called a pateru and kneeling down on it while playing the popular Billy song.

“It looks dirty just by looking at it.”

“Imagine if that happened to you when you were 10 years old.”

I trained again and again, determined to give it a shot no matter what.

In the end, I couldn’t even get a single shot right until the end.

“Magic is-“

“…You’re going to learn magic from me? Then you really have to be prepared to go after it, right?”

“Little Luffy, no matter how much you want to commit suicide, don’t give up your wish to commit suicide against such a great demon lord.”

“No, that little Lamia kid is learning too, so there’s no way I can’t learn it-“

Does that kid know?

Aris is smart.

She is a genius

She is as much a genius as Lorraine, whom I taught, and of course she has the tenacity to figure it out no matter how much I twist it. Tenacity, perseverance, genius.

Geniuses who work hard are scary.

Naturally, if I teach him all the magic I have, he absorbs everything I teach him, and that’s why I also enjoy teaching him. Of course, what happens if you can’t solve the problem I pose?

“They say that if your brain is bad, your body will suffer. Conversely, if your body is good, your brain will not suffer. Therefore, if you are not going to learn magic properly and remain as my disciple, won’t your body inevitably have to improve?”

“Damn it, a real couple turned into a couple! They are both the same, even down to the fact that they turned around!”

“Oh my~ Okay, today’s training ends here.”

“?”

And while expressing doubts about that, Luffy asks, “What’s wrong with this?” While doing this, I quickly give up my training. After all, I’ve only been practicing downward slashes so far, so I’ve done enough to do it on Luffy as well.

And at the same time, Elizabeth stands up from her seat, holding the sword I made again.

“Now, in return for your sweet words, I’ll show you something new. When you awaken your sword energy and reach the limit of your downward slash… You can do it like this!”

And I quickly put up a shield around here.

And as soon as the shield was set, Elizabeth pulled out her great sword and slashed downwards, emitting sword energy and cutting through the ground. At the same time, the sword energy was shot out a distance of about 100 meters, evaporating the ground.

And when Luffy saw that, his eyes were full of surprise, and naturally, Elizabeth spoke to Luffy.

“You could do this even when you were human, but as a Nephilim, you can do even more, right?”

For your information, Elizabeth is not using her full power right now. Dick said she didn’t know it, but if she ever faced Mars, she would be a very equal fight.

To what extent?

If Elizabeth had really fired with all her might, wouldn’t she have flown right up to her estate? At the same time, the final strength was gathered between the thought that the people of the territory were innocent and the thought that all they had to do was to kill Count Carlos.

In the end, they are the people he must protect, and it is impossible to harm them.

After witnessing Elizabeth’s majesty, Luffy looks at me and asks.

“…Are all real heroes monsters?”

“Only at that level could I go to pick the devil’s head.”

Immediately after saying that, I also take a drink.

It’s not as bad as having a drink before going to sleep.

Especially because I feel depressed every time I think about the hero party.

“…Kogan, we need to find that old man too.”

“…Kogan.”

Elizabeth thinks of Kogan.

I remember it too.

Lastly, Kogan’s appearance in the final battle with Cassandra was that of a manly man.

Haha!! I’m going first, kid! See you later in hell!

Saying that, she plunged her ax into Cassandra, and even with the ax stuck in his head, Cassandra cut Kogan to a pulp in one go. He couldn’t even leave a body behind, and all that remained was the double axes he used.

And take it out and show it.

The ax, which still boasts a sharp edge, is still sharp even after two years.

Although I enchanted some of it, the ax itself was smelted and forged by Kogan himself. Kogan was a skilled blacksmith and warrior.

Kogan, the dwarf berserker, so manfully put the ax in Cassandra’s head and walked away.

Gawain recovered, and I also gave Gawain all the power of the sun flame for the last time, causing the magic circuit to explode.

“…In the end, it was a dog’s death.”

Those bastards in the guise of a goddess tried to kill me, and from the moment they began to disparage, cover up, and hide the deaths of the warriors, the warriors were not properly repaid, and at the same time, King Arthur was obsessed with saving Gawain and tried to kill me.

I look at Eris.

“…!”

He still looks shocked and trembles.

It still pisses me off, but I don’t talk about it.

I just spoke to her using the shape of her mouth.

Pee a dog

And Eris appears to be annoyed and displays her vein mark on her head, but as soon as she makes eye contact with her older sister, she immediately wakes up.

Well, that’s good.

“…I guess it’s all good now. Becoming a hero and damn it. Kid, saving the world and all that is useless.”

“Then why did you come in like a brat?”

“If I told you to go catch the demon lord to your mother, who is dying except you, would you just watch that? If I tell my unfinished disciple to go catch the demon lord, would you send that to me, idiot?”

If you can send it, come here.

I’ll break your head.

Of course, I told him about this and it seemed that only then did Luffy understand it.

“Even though I knew it was bullshit, I had to go in. That’s all. If something like that happens again, I’ll go in as many times as I want.”

“Yes, that’s right. If it happens again, I will go there again and again.”

“Even without me?”

“Oh, then I won’t do it.”

Look at the black woman in here.

“Besides, who would attack a lioness on the eastern frontier? If you don’t want to be left behind, you should crawl on your own. I went in in the first place because I knew you were going.”

“You’re honest. That’s why I like it.”

“Hehe, me too.”

“…Ugh, fucking chicken… Hey dude! Don’t you take care of those two!?”

And then he taps Gawain, who is sitting still and concentrating next to Dick.

Of course, Gawain doesn’t even nod.

In the first place, I’m so focused right now that I don’t even notice if someone touches me.

A state of entering one’s own world to develop extra senses and intuition. Gawain, who is fighting an inner battle with the help of Merlin, will not budge regardless of whether Dick is a dick or not.

Open your eyes soon after.

“?What happened?”

“Nothing happened.”

…

That guy is really fucking terrible.

Before you know it, the night is getting darker with Carlos’s territory in front of you.

And we fell asleep-

At the same time, this is what I saw as soon as I entered Carlos’s territory the next day.

Flower road.

And the women scattering flowers with trembling hands.

Even on this cold winter day, it must have been very difficult to find flowers, but I saw a street reminiscent of a wedding parade with flowers scattered…

From there, a middle-aged man with bald head appeared in front of us, and his belly was so protruding as to be pregnant.

Count Carlos.

Count Ricardo Charlos approached Elisabeth, ‘barely’ on one knee, and was speaking while showing off his ring.

“…Master Margrave, will you accept my marriage proposal… Kuhaa!?”

“Look, just search! You pig! Who are you proposing to, you crazy bastard! Run away! Run away!!”

And what followed was Elizabeth’s merciless kick.

“Just stop there, Elizabeth.”

Of course, I knew that she would fall behind if she was hit more than twice, so I gave Elizabeth a back hug from behind, and it was a bonus that Elizabeth turned around and hugged me as if she had been waiting.

“Huh, if you say so-“

“…Elizabeth, you’re being so mean.”

“Will you shut up, Gawain?”

And when Gawain sees that, he criticizes Elizabeth with a sullen expression.

And…

“By the way, is this pig Count Ricardo Carlos?”

“…The Ricardo I knew was not this Ricardo.”

“?”

“Don’t worry, it’s the old man’s usual nonsense.”

If you pay attention to what Dick says, you will lose.

Naturally, after being beaten by Elizabeth, he stumbles and takes out her ring while rolling around.

Tsk.

I do a lot of different things.
