I stopped being a warrior and became the strongest

“W-who are you? Are you... your ancestor? ”

[Ancestor? If I did, wouldn't I have ears on my head like you?]

“ · · · ”

Marron's words were pretty reasonable.

Odyssey looks at Maron anxiously, then starts running away.

Why are you running away all of a sudden? You don't think I look scary, do you?]

“Ghosts are scary... Huff-puff... They're not as scary as soldiers. ”

Maron asks next to the speeding Odyssey.

[More afraid of soldiers? I'm scared too...]

“If you really wanted to kill me... Huff, puff... you would have done it by now. ”

[· · ·]

Maron shrugs as if the answer was correct.

[Why are you being chased, anyway? Have you committed any great crimes?]

“ · · · ”

Is he out of breath?

Odyssey was so focused on running that he couldn't even answer.

[sighs]

Maron looks at such an Odyssey and thinks:

‘If Maron had committed a grave mistake, the Tang Khan would not have sent me. Or... have you sent me to repent? ’

I've been thinking about it for a while, Maron.

He looks at Odyssey's running back and shouts.

[I know you don't have the strength to answer, so answer with your fingers. If you're being chased by mistake, spread one finger or two.]

Soon Odyssey stretched a finger.

[· · ·]

Maron's expression becomes stiff.

Are you really a sinner? He looks pretty young, but he wasn't just any guy. ’

But soon after he opened his eyes, he looked up at the sky.

‘But there must be a reason why he sent me. I was a petty thief once... "

When he was lost in thought.

“Aah!”

“I got you, you rat. ”

Odyssey stumbles upon the ropes thrown by the soldiers.

“No matter how hard you struggle, nothing changes. ”

“That's how wrong it was to write a song! Was that so wrong? ”

Scream like Odyssey has been devoted to evil.

“Son, listen to me. ”

The Demibeast warlord snatches his collar and lifts him to his eye level.

“Whatever song you wrote, it doesn't matter. ”

“Then why...”

“Because your actions offended Kufu. ”

A warrior leader who draws his sword while laughing.

“Poor Jerome. Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk. ”

“Don't laugh at your father! ”

However, back to Odyssey's misfortune was only the scorn of the soldiers.

“If you see your father, apologize. I'm sorry about my stupid son. ”

As the Warrior Chief grabbed hold of the sword, he slowly approached.

“ · · · ”

Werner... I'm sorry... Dad... I'm sorry... because of me...

Odyssey was frustrated and stared at the sword with his empty eyes.

Can I help you?]

The spirit creeps up and gives the horse.

“Help... me?" ”

Well, there's nothing you can do to help, is there?]

A helpless smile on Maron's lips.

“You're a ghost and you can help me? ”

[I'm not actually helping, but the one who sent me to you is helping you.]

“ · · · ”

What do you mean him?

Who is he talking about?

I wonder if there's a ghost commander.

[The Great Tang Khan has chosen you.]

“What? ”

Tang Khan.

Starting with the mouth of the heroes who have appeared lately.

Isn't this the name of a god that's spread all over the continent?

A god like that chose me? ’

“Why would a god like that...”

[He reached out to you, and it was your choice not to believe it. What do you say?]

When he asks again,

Odyssey thinks this through his teeth.

‘I... can't die here. ’

Resurrect the fallen family and avenge Kufu.

To defend Werner's will to escape with his life.

And, uh...

‘For the sake of my dreams... I can't die here. ’

I write epic poems of warriors who conquer the continent.

Those songs go beyond the Demibeasts, humans and giants and so on.

Lots of factions wanted to hear it, and they wanted to sing it again.

“I... want to live. I want to live!”

Let Odyssey shout with a strong desire.

“Of course. But what can I do? This is your destiny. I'll make you comfortable.”

The Warrior Chief laughed at Odyssey, who seemed to have lost his mind.

I was about to slap the sword that I had struck.

[Good, of course.]

With a satisfactory smile, the faint light on Maron's body began to grow.

“Oh, it's been a long time since I've felt this way. ”

Maron squeezes his hand with a spear.

“Who are you?”

Maybe it's because of his sudden appearance.

Soldiers were nervous and pointed weapons at each other.

“Who am I? Does knowing change anything? ”

Maron shrugs, smiling playfully.

“Well... kill it! ”

“I'm in a hurry. Then let's get this angry bastard out of here. Salemender.”

Glug-ug

Maron's words drop.

A bright flame rises from around his hand.

[Puheheheheh! Can I burn everything? Is that okay with you?]

“Yes, go around all you want. ”

[Exciting! Exciting! Burn them all!]

Glug glug

At the stroke of time, the fireball that escaped Maron's hand immediately grew into his body.

[Sounds like fun!]

I plummeted over the soldiers' heads.

“W-what...”

“He threw a bomb! Avoid! H-ahhhh! ”

Screams and shrieks echo through every pass of the celebrity.

“Well, I don't have to do this. ”

Maron across the shoulder of the road with a spear.

He approaches Odyssey, leaving behind the screams of his soldiers.

“This should be enough to get away, right? ”

“ · · · ”

Odyssey stares at the flames dazed by Maron's question.

“Enough, I think. ”

Due to the massive wall of fire that Selender created.

It's also difficult for soldiers to chase again.

I've lost my temper. It should be enough to run away.

“Then let's get going. Where do we go? ”

“W-we can go that way. Maybe.”

Maybe it's because of the overwhelming power that Maron has seen.

Odyssey ran down the road as if he didn't have it in him.

“Young Master! This way! ”

Soon the butler, Werner, was able to find the wagon and carriage that appeared to be prepared.

‘Thank you, Werner. ’

When Odyssey remembers the old steward, he climbs into the wagon.

Hee hee!

The wagon speeds out of the water and makes its way out of the sewers.

“I think we're safe now. Why don't you relax? ”

Actually, it's still a relief.

‘According to Baikal, the capital of the Kingdom of Kenen is located at the center of the Kingdom. ’

Then they must leave the Kingdom of Kenen entirely.

It was inevitable that you would have to visit other lands.

‘Thinking about the chasers and the lords who will stand in front of us... It won't be easy. ’

Sassac

[· · ·]

Moreover, as his body returned to the spirit state again.

It was no longer possible to help Odyssey directly.

‘But at least now we need to rest rather than be nervous. ’

To maintain a little stamina.

Maron talks again.

[If it's too hard, I don't even think about it. Relax. Take a breath.]

“ · · · ”

But even with Marron's advice, Odyssey's stubborn face was barely hanging loose.

[You must have a lot on your mind.]

Maron once again speaks as familiar as a friendly brother.

[Talk comfortably. I need to know what's going on with you so I can help you.]

Maybe it's because of Maron's kind tone.

Odyssey slowly unravels what has happened.

[So when we get this straight... the king is angry because of the song you wrote and destroyed your family?]

“ · · · ”

Odyssey nods without a word.

He glances at him quietly and asks,

[Do you like the song?]

“.. there's a tremendous amount of heart-warming power in a song. ”

[Heartbreaking power?]

Tilt your head as if it's hard for Maron to understand.

Odyssey continues to speak.

“Like peasants singing in the fields, and nobles humming with musical instruments, songs cheer the mouths and ears of the Demibeast where they need to be. ”

I don't think I've ever heard anything like that before.

Odyssey is confident.

“I liked that song. And it was my dream to be a musician who read epic heroes and compose music to suit them. ”

[But you sang of Doren, the enemy of the Demibeasts, to buy the king's wrath?]

“That's...”

Maron spills his absurdity.

[Then why did you only spread one finger earlier?]

“What? ”

Why do you think it's your fault that you don't have enough faults?]

Odyssey bows his head at Marron's words.

“In any case, because of my mistake...”

[Have you driven the king mad? You just wrote the song. That can't be a sin.]

“ · · · ”

Odyssey couldn't say anything.

Maron keeps talking.

[I don't want to say this, but I think the disaster in my family has always happened. It's just that your song has moved ahead of its time.]

If the head of the country is crazy.

The aftermath was inevitable for the families that became the arms and legs of the country.

“ · · · ”

In fact, with Kufu's tyranny, the Kingdom of Kenen was slowly walking the path of decline.

The Gerdines may have also walked the path of destruction at any time.

“But I don't think the results are known to anyone. ”

[Yes, it is. Because we're not gods.]

Maron smiling beautifully.

[Whatever the situation may be, it will happen again.]

“How do you know that? Of course, I don't want to forget the kindness of your help... But there's nothing left for me... I barely have a life left. ”

Blessed by emotion.

Odyssey stares at him with a trembling voice.

“I don't know where to go right now.”

[· · ·]

At the sight of a young Demibeast who is about to burst into tears.

Maron pauses silently and opens his mouth slowly.

[No one knows the future. I never thought I'd be a spirit in a pick-pocket.]

Odyssey opened his eyes to Maron's confession.

“Pickpocket? You were a pickpocket? ”

I can't believe the ghost that used to have so many servants was a pick-pocket.

Is he making jokes to reassure him?

It's hard to believe, isn't it? Sometimes I don't believe it either. But it's true, I've been needy. Besides, I had my sisters, so I really enjoyed eating at least one meal a day.]

Odyssey nods secretly in Marron's confession, which is quite realistic.

“How the hell did you get that from a pickpocket...”

[I met him, and my life was completely different.]

Maron points to the roof of the wagon with his finger raised.

“Him? ”

[Yes, he sent me chocolate, my mentor and teacher. Just like I'm here for you now. He also sent me a bracelet that only the Academy principal had, so that I could reach my stepmother Verona and kite.]

“ · · · ”

Odyssey listens closely to Maron's story.

A sudden question pops out of my mouth.

“He said he gave you a bracelet. Are you really going to give me that? ”

It's like ghost crap, right? But seriously, if you have faith and pray, he'll make sure you get what you need when you need it. Really?]

Did he think what he was saying was true?

“ · · · ”

When the hands of Odyssey slowly closed.

Zec

JooJoon recognizes that his vision has returned to the white space.

‘Phew... Once the crisis is resolved... ’

A smile that reminds me of Odyssey who saved his life.

‘The coming of the warriors... I really don't have the ability to make variables. ’

Didn't he save Odyssey because of that?

‘While Odyssey was alive, it was a shame he could only use it once... but I'm glad he saved Odyssey's life. ’

Of course, we don't know what obstacles await us in front of Odyssey.

But, um...

‘Now that Maron is by your side, we can overcome any obstacle. ’

Maron is his trusted apostle.

He was a great warrior and the father of the spirits.

“ · · · ”

When Joon predicted the journey between Maron and Odyssey.

Huaiac

The life of the warrior Odyssey came to a turning point.

"Wow."

Suddenly, the black color that flowed from the Odyssey card faded away.

The Silver Wave begins to take its place.

The end.
