Chapter 3 Episode 22

Western Continental Calendar January 15, 2813 [Waltenian Peninsula] Part 1:

Gush.

A dull sound, like trampling a fruit containing water, echoes in the dim woods.

Inside the blue smell emitted by the forest trees, a rusty odor of iron mixed to stimulate Sarah's well-shaped nose.

"Master Ryo Jin...... how are you doing? Have you ever felt uncomfortable with your body?

With that said, Sarah offers the towel in her hand to a black shadow standing in front of her eyes.

"Oh... you don't feel a problem at all. It's a big deal, martial arts. I feel like my body has become a beast."

"Master Ryo has already mastered the fundamentals of martial arts. After that, we're just going to build on the actual experience."

"Gain experience...? You can kill such a beast with your bare hands. I wonder how much we can do if we work out."

With that said, Ryo Jin hoisted her lips and smiled. Its appearance is exactly what the devil looks like.

The red and black splashes scattered across his face are obviously traces of blood.

Both arms stained bright red to the elbow area, still dropping pottery and Shizuku on the ground.

Lying at his feet like that is the carcass of a fierce wolf.

5 of them in total.

Length exceeds 1.5M. It's a giant that weighs slightly over 50kg.

The wolves who should be in the category of the mighty in this forest are now lying quietly on the earth at Ryo Tru's feet.

It was the figure of a loser who lost the competition for survival.

From his body lying on the ground, the red liquid flooded the ground unstoppably, and his ferocious face had been trampled to pieces unharmed.

"To be honest, I didn't think I'd be able to kill with my bare hands so easily from now on. I'm not just getting stronger in my arms. My senses are sharper, and my body is out of step."

In a tone somewhere out loud, Ryo Jin turned his attention to the carcasses of the wolves lying at his feet.

Apart from the exhilaration that springs from the depths of my body, I can't help but feel like the fact in front of me is some illusion created by my fantasy.

Human muscle strength is significantly inferior to that of animals.

Even if they were originally armed with guns and blades, they would never win.

That's all there is between humans and animals.

I could only kill it with my own flesh. Besides, it's the result of dealing with multiple at the same time.

Additionally, I don't see any noticeable trauma on Ryo True's body wiped with a towel in his hand.

It shows that Ryo True flesh using martial arts is more than a wild animal.

The raw, warm temperature of the gut felt by the knife poked into the wolf's belly.

Feel when you put your hand on the jaw of a wolf with your mouth wide open to bite and rip it up and down.

Not to mention, Ryo Jin didn't just kill the beast. It is a ferocious creature classified as the monster Monster.

Achievement due to being able to do things that I have not been able to do before.

Such emotions dominated Ryo True's body.

"Of course, not everyone can. That Ryo Shin's flesh itself is forged through. And that's the result of having experience in action."

As Sarah said, Ryo True flesh had been forged out due to her grandfather. We are also diving through exchanges of life that we have no intention of experiencing on Earth.

I guess it is the result of the intertwining and synergizing of those various elements with the acquisition of a new power called martial arts.

"In fact, children who have mastered martial arts in the same way… I hear they are struggling quite a bit…"

With that said, Sarah turns her gaze to the back of the dim forest.

Cloudy in expression, but rare in her words, I could see the colour of the accusations against Ryo Trun somewhere.

"It's a struggle... Sarah dissatisfied?

Liang Zhen frowned at Sarah's words and turned her gaze to Sarah.

Because I felt sensitive to her dissatisfaction with her choices contained in her words.

Liang Zhen is not stupid enough to think that his choice is absolutely correct, etc.

But even if this is not the right choice, it is absolutely necessary.

Even if Sarah blames me, there's no other choice.

Because there is no room to save the weak.

Looked directly in the front by Liang Zhen's unwavering eyes, Sarah unexpectedly shifts her gaze.

She understands herself.

The problem would be in saying that even if you understand it with your head, it's emotionally inseparable.

"Of course, I understand why Ryo Shin brought those kids here..."

My sister Laura doesn't seem to feel much, but Sarah has a strong trauma for the slave life she has experienced.

Despicable faces stained with the greed and colour of the slave traders. anxiety to say what time it will be sold. And the despair of treating livestock the same way.

Those emotions spring up from the back of her mind every time she puts the kids she's working out to fight into her sight.

Still, I don't criticize Liang Zhen for ordering her to teach the children the art of fighting because I understand that there is no alternative to saying that I feel grateful for him.

Earth "Earth" The backbone of the world is weak flesh and strong.

To say that we are weak in this world, where even the right to life can only be gained by our own power, is only sin.

No, if you don't mind being abused by the power of others, you can remain weak.

They take it, they offend it, they kill it. If they are prepared to come down on themselves and on the human beings they want to protect, they need not be anything stronger.

If you are prepared to be attacked by bandits, uprooted from your possessions, offended by the tyranny of nobles, and attacked and eaten to death by the monster Monster, you can remain weak without learning the means to fight.

But if you want to live with your rights and pride as a person. If you want to protect something important, you have one choice.

Being strong.

Money is fine. Violence is good. Wisdom is good. Even power is good.

Only power was just right.

From a human being who understands it, Ryo True's behavior can even be described as tender.

He taught reading and writing to the children of slaves, the weak, and planted martial arts, giving them the power of magic.

It gave the weak a glimmer of hope.

Even if his choice was for Ryo Shin himself, his actions are not in themselves reprehensible.

The kids are lucky. I was just given the opportunity to change from weak to strong.

And now they were about to be reborn from the weak to the strong, wandering the frontiers of life and death.

By surviving through the woods where this monster Monster roams...

Sarah turned her gaze to the back of the dark woods.

And quietly wish the children well.

One child will survive this trial safely… that was the only thing she could do.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Melissa! What are you doing, you'll die if you blur! Put your sword up! They're coming in again."

Melissa was unable to respond to the cry of her fellow boy.

Her eyes reflect the appearance of a black beast running up against her fangs.

It's a black furry tiger.

Two sharp fangs, curved like knives, were protruding from his mouth, trying to tear Melissa's body apart.

A giant over 3M rushes through like a wind and hits Melissa.

"Khaaaaaaaa!

There were zero shouts of fear coming from Melissa's mouth.

Unexpectedly, a force enters her hand holding the pattern of the sword.

But she couldn't do anything more with fear.

The glance of a tiger. Two sharp fangs. And a giant far beyond his own body.

The fact seals Melissa's mind and body tying motion with no real combat experience.

"You stupid bastard! Clan! Lower Melissa back! Coyle! You're gonna keep me and the tiger out of this!

Pushing Melissa in a barbed state, the boy erected a sword in his hand and intimidated the tiger.

The boy's body releases his intention to kill against the tiger.

That's not so much a threat to a tiger.

But it was enough to change my appreciation of the boys, who were just looking like bait.

The tiger stopped his leg and slowly began to circle around the boys to peek into the gap.

"Melissa! Get back!

A boy called Klan grabs Melissa's body and drags her forcefully back.

"Huh! Ouch! Wait, wait, wait, wait."

Melissa, drawn to her full strength, unwittingly raises her voice of protest.

And the boy who kept hanging out with the tiger accidentally reacted to his voice.

At that moment, the tiger hits the boy like an arrow released from a squeezed bow.

"Shit!"

At the next moment, a boy's clenched sword was poked into the mouth of a jumping tiger.

And the sword of a boy called Coyle chooses the belly of a tiger who pushed the boy down with his giant.

The moment the tiger attacked him, the boy accidentally stuck his sword forward.

It was an instinctive act of trying to protect herself, but I guess the Goddess of Destiny spared the boy's life.

A sword protruded into the mouth of a wide open tiger.

But he was pressed against a giant hundred kilometers of tigers, and his appearance was completely underneath the tiger.

"Are you all right! Kevin!"

Coyle shouts the name of a boy pushed down by a tiger.

The tiger is already desperate by his own sword, but he can't afford to boast about it, etc.

Even Coyle's heart was just worried about Kevin's safety.

"Clan, help! Get the tiger out of the way! Melissa, be on guard around you! Good, it's not like another monster, Monster, isn't coming at us. Don't miss it!

Just because you defeated the enemy in front of you doesn't mean it's over.

There are many monsters wandering through these woods.

I'm attracted to the blood of a defeated tiger, and another monster, Monster, doesn't necessarily strike me.

"Ugh... yeah"

Are you listening or not listening to Melissa nodding powerlessly?

Coyle and Clan put their hands on the tiger's body as they turned their backs on Melissa.

"Shit! What a weight...... clan! Put your strength into it!

"Okay!

The boys lift the Tiger giant, which would be over 300 Kg while speaking out to each other.

"Kevin! Kevin! Now. Crawl out!

The moment a gap is created between the tiger's body and Kevin's body, Clan calls on Kevin.

They are not physically mature when they are between the ages of 13 and 15, even though they are physically fortified with martial arts.

Some of the reasons I've lived a tough life by slave life, and their muscle strength is never superior.

Their ability to move the tiger's body even slightly was the result of four months of training.

"Shit! No, Clan! Maybe Kevin's one is fainting!

Coyle shouted at Kevin, who wouldn't move until hours.

"Melissa! Pull out Kevin! Hurry up."

"What!? Whoa."

"Come on, Melissa! Neither Clan nor I can support such a heavy body until hours!

The boy's anger strikes down Melissa.

"What are you doing! You're gonna kill Kevin! Pull it out!"

The boys couldn't hide their frustration at Melissa, who couldn't move.

For more than four months, they've been having a hard time together.

Its binding is stiff.

Nothing against Melissa. That's only a word because it makes Kevin's cheap and cheap a priority.

"It's... it's okay. 'Cause I'm out of here right now...... I need you to lift me up now."

"Kevin!"

Coyle screams unexpectedly at the words that echo from under the tiger's body.

Eventually, Kevin crawled out because he was a tiger shaking his body one by one.

"Are you all right, Kevin!

"Yeah, except I got a shoulder injury."

Kevin answers Coyle's words with his left shoulder under control.

His left arm was hanging with Dharan.

I guess he removed his joints when he was pressed up by a tiger or crushed his worst shoulder bone.

Well, maybe we should say that we were lucky just to not have been fatally injured by a tiger, but when we say that fewer people can fight in this forest, that means that we have less chance of survival.

"Melissa, we'll take care of the watch. Look at Kevin's shoulder."

When Clan says so, he regains his sword and turns his gaze around.

That's what I've been tapped into over the past few months, acting as a soldier.

Even if you're worried about your people, you can't fail to be alert to your surroundings.

The coil also nodded silently and proceeded in the opposite direction to the clan.

Melissa, who was just standing still, also hurriedly takes the medicine out of her backpack, confirms Kevin's shoulder.

When she checked, luckily Kevin's shoulder just had to be dislocated.

He put a tree on his shoulder as taught by the mercenaries as a means of first aid and took the magic potion, so in a few days his shoulder will be able to move as usual.

I could say that the power decline was minimized.

But Melissa's heart didn't clear.

Because I assumed Kevin was hurt because of my own failure.

"I'm sorry. Kevin..."

Melissa uttered words of apology as she bandaged Kevin on his shoulder.

The moment the tiger attacked me, my fear made me limp and unable to move.

That I couldn't pull Kevin out because he was a tiger.

I flipped everything like that, and Melissa wanted to apologize to Kevin.

But when Kevin heard her words, he answered with a "only" face.

"Fool, why are you apologizing? We're buddies, aren't we?

Don't bluff.

But his words contained dear affection.

"So... but..."

"Told you? We're a team. We live and die together...... right?

Kevin smiles and strokes Melissa's head like that.

It was kindness backed by absolute trust and affection.
