episode_0083

A day has already passed since we left the residence of the {Wolf Beast Tribe} and headed to {Dirrin Village}.

widely!. Tadadak.!!

A chilly wind announces the arrival of fall.

Orange-colored leaves flutter before your eyes, and delicious ripe fruits crackle every time you step on the branches! It falls.

A body that has become stronger than it was six months ago.

His fighting sense, which was more faithful to his instincts, was rough on the one hand, but also showed a well-trained and sharp appearance.

I feel great pride in being able to achieve this on my own. Because I worked hard every single day.

Of course, the process was not smooth, but…

＇Is this the first time since then that you have run this long?＇

‘I want to see it soon.’

The distance you have to travel at full speed to the exact destination for almost three days…

I was able to reach {Dirrin Village} in almost a day and a half through {Magic Circulation} and the [Magic Compass] my mother gave me.

Moreover, when I first used {Magic Circulation}, the feeling of the magical energy flowing within my body flowing through my muscles was unfamiliar and uncomfortable.

However, through hard training, the power of {magic circulation}, which can already be used as if it were one body, has enabled me to move my body cleanly without any restrictions or foreign body sensations, as well as the growing pains I have felt from time to time.

Crack.!

＇There it is.＇

Between tall trees. The walls of {Dirrin Village}, visible from a very far away, came into view.

My heart is filled with excitement at being able to see my family.

＇As expected, home is the best..＇

I miss everything.

It was amazing that even the air felt different.

Trudging. Trudging.

Before we knew it, we had arrived at the main gate of {Dirrin Village}.

＇There are a lot of people at the front gate..?＇

‘Isn’t the monster hunting season over?’

While I was looking at the female knights who were busier than usual.

A female guard recognized me and urgently came to talk to me.

“young master!!”

“Thank you for your hard work so far.”

“Do you know how worried I was because you didn’t come?”

＇Could it be that you were trying to find me?＇

“Please go quickly.”

“The lord is looking for you.”

Didn’t give me time to speak.

I follow the female guard who suddenly takes the lead and enter {Dirrin Village}.

“young master!! welcome.”

Female knights greeting each other without stopping.

＂How did he become so dignified.. Our young master?＂

The village people also welcomed me like that.

‘what..?’

＇Something… seems a bit messy.＇

Not surprisingly, the armor of the female knights, who were usually worn loosely, was fastened more tightly, as if they were about to go to war at any moment.

And inside the village, there was also a bustle that was different from usual.

Nevertheless, because there was an expectation of meeting family first, it passed without much notice.

***

Hot!!

＂My, my son Dahein..＂

“Are you hurt anywhere?”

“Do you know how worried this father was?”

just as expected.

My father’s deep hug, reminiscent of a separated family reunion, envelops me.

“Ah, father..”

Perhaps because he was so moved by the reunion after such a long time, tears like dew began to fall from between my father’s red eyes.

Wow!!

My father’s embrace that seemed like he would never let go… I also missed it so much.

“Ah, father. “Stop crying..”

“Your mother is worried.”

Dahuin, who came into Hahuint’s field of vision, was showing the appearance of a stocky man who had grown more mature.

“I was hoping it would grow a little more slowly…”

The once soft flesh had regained elasticity and muscle.

Although Dahin’s physique itself did not grow that much, Dahin had already grown to the point where it was similar to Hahint.

“I’m already similar in height to my father.”

“Come back healthy… this father is really…”

My mother came closer and supported my father, who burst into tears once again in her arms.

For some reason, he looked brighter than usual, but he smiled brightly and patted my head as if he had never done that before.

Sigh..

“mother. I’m home.”

How much I have missed and remembered my parents’ touch like this.

It seemed as if the tension that had not let go even for a single moment was finally relieved.

***

By the time the reunion with the family I had missed so much was healing.

“Yes, son. “I guess we should check out the achievements we’ve made so far, right?”

I felt a little strange seeing my mother, who seemed to be urgently trying to check something.

“I am ready at any time. mother.!”

I didn’t even eat.

I haven’t even opened up the story about what I’ve experienced so far.

However, I had no doubts about my mother’s words and went with her to the outdoor training ground.

‘however..’

‘Your father won’t stop you.?’

If it were my father from before… I’m sure he would have rushed in and stopped me as soon as he arrived, asking what kind of sparring I was having.

But for some reason, rather than stopping my mother, she smiled awkwardly and walked away.

‘What.. Did something happen while I was away?’

I was worried that maybe the couple had a fight because of me arriving late, but… I followed my mother to the training ground.

＂Um.. mother??＂

＂Could it be that something happened in the village??＂

Did we hit the nail on the head?

I flinch for a moment! I could see my mother’s body on the street.

Nevertheless, he smiled brightly as if he had never done that before and patted my head, telling me not to worry as if it was no big deal.

＇No big deal.. right?＇

Unlike before, there were not a single female knight in sight inside the outdoor training ground where we arrived.

Nevertheless, as if this situation was okay, my mother stands in front of the training ground, holding only a wooden sword like last time.

＂Something is strange to everyone.＂

＇Obviously.. there’s something to hide.＇

Around the time this thought occurred to me, my mother’s mood changed drastically.

I have been sparring with Belze for almost half a year.

That’s why I was able to recognize my mother’s condition right away.

A strong stance that is hard to find even a gap in.

Unlike before, the violent yet strict atmosphere feels as sharp as stabbing raw flesh.

Seeing my mother like that, the survival instinct that tells me to focus on this moment forces me to gather my spirit.

This moment.

There was no need for words between me and my mother.

Zuzuzu that is..

A flat training ground with no trees or obstacles around.

I realized late that it was different from the wild terrain I usually sparred with.

But it didn’t matter.

It’s not about winning.

It is a great benefit if you can find only the problems caused by defeat.

‘As expected, it’s my mother..’

I take a lower stance and position myself so that I can jump in one go.

That moment of silence…

＇If you can’t see the gap…＇

＇Make it yourself.＇

I didn’t hesitate.

Taaat!

It was clear that my hesitation was disrespectful to my mother, who was already ready to accept everything I had.

By using {magic circulation} and {sixth sense}, you create a more sensitive sense and a stronger body.

＇{Armed}.＇

And I cover both arms with titanium slime, giving me enormous defense and sharp attack power.

‘Your eyes have become stronger.’

＇Son..＇

just as expected. Dahein’s eyes as he attempted to attack Dincia… had the eyes of a predator trying to hunt his prey.

In the past, when I first sparred with Dincia, the hesitant movements had disappeared completely. The attack continued even more boldly and fiercely.

Literally raw movement.

Tuk!!

Wow!!

‘Each attack is aimed precisely at a critical point.’

＇And this heaviness…＇

＇I asked Beljav to make this guy strong… and you made him a beast.＇

Moreover, thanks to the {magic circulation} flowing within Dahyin’s body, each of his attacks boasted the power of a huge hammer being driven into one point.

Even the weight of the strike was incredible as the elasticity was added by the titanium [slime] slime wrapped around both arms.

Chijijijijiji!!

＇Magic power is being offset..＇

＇As expected, the [titanium] ingredient is a bit tricky..’

The red magic energy surrounding Dincia’s wooden sword began to be chipped away by the [titanium] material surrounding Dahein’s {armor}.

Dahein attacks with alacrity as if he were a beast warrior.

Teeting!!

Despite Dahyin’s onslaught, Dincia still did not move.

He began to block all his attacks even faster with the wooden sword he was holding in one hand.

Due to the nature of the terrain with no obstacles, from Dahuin’s perspective, it felt like fighting with his bare body.

That’s how Dahuin’s gap was created.

Dincia didn’t miss that small gap, quickly raised her wooden sword, and then struck it hard towards Dahein’s neck and shoulder.

Buuung..

As if time has stopped, the shimmer of magical energy surrounding the wooden sword feels even hotter.

‘It’s too late to avoid it..’

It was clearly not an attack that could be avoided with movement.

Even when I was sparring with Belze, I had repeated this experience countless times.

‘then..’

I focus the “nothingness” attribute {defense shield} wrapped around my entire body on the neck and shoulder area, which is the point of attack, and fix it more firmly.

Tuk!!

Tuk!!

Tuk!!

One, two, three layers of that thin membrane break…

The fourth and final {shield} blocked Dincia’s sword attack and at the same time was barely able to escape the situation.

‘If I hadn’t stopped it… I would have really died.’

Having widened the distance in an instant, I move the {armor} on both arms into my body to replenish my depleted magical energy.

＂You’ve been training hard so far, son.’

Dahein’s ability to apply magical power and reaction speed to emit magical energy.

And above all, the sense of actual combat has noticeably improved. So much so that you could almost say he was a different person.

Dincia’s praise was short-lived…

＇Mother’s life..?＇

Recognizing that it will not end like this, I cast {Berserk}, which I have been honing for so long, without hesitation.

It was just a sparring to see how much my skills had improved.

But at this moment, the reason why I had to face my mother while using {Berserk} was…

It was because the darker and more vivid life that I felt when I encountered the [Mutant Lil Bear] shimmered with my mother’s red magic power.

‘You have to be sincere..’

One black eye that cannot be seen is a black crack on the body.

Moreover, the monster’s intensified magic makes Dincia nervous.

＇Can we control it now?＇

＇As expected, leaving it to Belzab was the right answer.’

Dincia also took a stance to deal with Dahein, and then concentrated more powerful red magic on the wooden sword she was holding.

Passs..

Like a blooming rose, a flicker of red magical power made the fallen leaves lying around disappear at once.

It was as if it had disappeared before it even caught fire.

＇If you leave {berserk} on for a long time, your judgment will become clouded..’

＇You have to push it fast..＇

Moreover, the huge amount of magical energy consumed due to the {shield} used to block Mother’s attack a little while ago was a big key.

I think it would be disadvantageous to drag this sparring on for too long, so I plan to pour everything I have into this one match.

Slippery…

Titanium slime rises from the hands, which are armed only, and covers both arms.

‘{Three Footprints}.’
