Episode 311
Episode 106. It’s been a week since I started training with
the great last (1) mantu.
“The scars have increased.”
Cheryl said as she removed the bandage. The scars from the week-long sparring were far greater than those made from fighting so far.
In a short period of time, Yuma sparred with Mantu over a hundred times. It was possible because of superhumans and possessors of stamina close to that.
Thanks to this, I was able to learn a lot of Mantu’s mysterious martial arts. Duran’s storm was also Yuma who realized the principle in a few days, so it was not difficult to learn Mantu’s technique.
The only problem was that Yuma couldn’t use ‘fire’. Mantu’s martial arts tended to use the power of Hwa’an as it went to the extreme, but Yuma had no Hwa’an.
Yuma tried replacing fire with blue aura and black aura, but it was not enough. Fire and auras were fundamentally different powers.
And Mantu also became weaker as the scheduled ten halls were over.
At first, the fire, which seemed to burn down the entire desert, was not even half as strong after a week.
The fact that Hua’an’s power had weakened was proof that Mantu’s mind had been clouded to that extent.
It was a phenomenon that happened because Mantu’s painting eyes were only manifested by responding to Mantu’s spirit, and not real.
Yuma recalled the conversation he had with Mantou early in the morning while Seryl was receiving treatment.
-I really want to give you Hwa-an, but I can’t do that right now. i don’t have
-Is it the kind of thing that can be detached and even given to someone? What do you mean you have no anger? Even now, with my eyes burning, I can use that power thanks to the contract between Hwa-an and me. Hwa-an must have recognized that I was alive. So, the more my mental strength that I was forcibly revived is depleted, the more the contract fades.
Saying that, Mantu smiled bitterly.
Yuma couldn’t say anything. I couldn’t imagine him leaving for the world of lions soon.
Mantu was about to die a second time.
During the week of training, Mantu lost his temper more than five times.
At that time, a real life-filled attack flew in, and there were moments when each other’s lives were at stake.
Out of over 100 matchups, Mantu overpowered Yuma less than 20 times.
He was getting weaker and Yuma was getting stronger based on the taijutsu he had learned, so it was a natural result.
-When you return to the Western Kyle Empire, find a land called ‘Marliskan’. If you go there, you will be able to get Hwa-an. Damn, I was going to let you know at the end, but my mind wanders too much.
– Marriskan? It’s the first name I’ve heard of.
Like Inzbican or Mus Icahn, Mar Liskan meant the site of an ancient civilization. Mantu informed them that Hua’an was sealed there.
-It is the land where the magic dragon is sealed. It’s a plateau in northern Kyle.
-what? plateau?
Yuma immediately realized that Mar Liskan was the old name for ‘Teziz’.
Among the lands in Kyle, the only plateau where Marong was sealed was Zeka’s hometown, Tejiz.
Tejiz, the seal of the demon dragon, was the place he had planned to visit immediately after his journey to the east.
It was also the area where the Imperial Special Expeditionary Force and the Zach family sent a joint investigation team from after Hayes, Rollmandy and Winslting were punished.
-Why is your hwaan there?
-What do you think the Grand Master is supposed to do?
Mantu asked in reverse.
Yuma waited for Mantoo to continue, as he did not seem to have asked the question for an answer.
– It’s the world’s protector. Aside from that, there’s nothing else to do. That’s the reason why my hwaan is in the magic dragon’s seal.
– You speak as if the world was dangerous even in your era.
-This is not the first time the demons have invaded. It’s just the first time it worked. Your days are out of luck, Yuma Drake.
And after talking some more, Yuma returned to the barracks and is now being treated by Cheryl.
Two days.
It was the time left for Mantu.
Yuma will have to learn the technique from Mantu and listen to more details.
Also, I had to prepare my mind while thinking about how to ‘send’ him.
It was resurrected unexpectedly due to the demons’ futility, but in a short time, a pretty strong bond was formed between Yuma and Mantu.
It would not be strange to call it friendship, so Yuma, who had to kill him himself, had no choice but to become more complicated as time passed.
‘Is it until the day after tomorrow that Mantu recognizes me… Or, can Mantu survive even until then?’
When I thought that, I felt bitter as if rust had been poured into my heart. If possible, I wanted to decorate the end of Mantu before he completely lost his temper.
“Mu-in must have a scar like that. Actually, your friend’s body has been polished up until now, hasn’t it? My uncle never had his back cut so that his body would not be scarred. Mantu wins Chams.”
Randell seemed to have almost recovered from the wounds inflicted by Mantu. Even so, whenever he had free time, he would visit Cheryl and hang out.
Cheryl, on the other hand, suffered from the heavy workload to the point that her eyes went wide and her cheeks became thin.
She could barely reply to Randall’s ten words.
“It seems the deputy commander has nothing to do. It would be nice for the soldiers to practice while playing in my barracks.”
When Cheryl snapped, Randell scratched his head and laughed.
“I have something to say to Sir Sheryl Landell.
After the treatment is over, can you step aside for a moment?”
As Yuma said, Cheryl quietly took the medicine box and left the barracks. It was a completely different atmosphere from when I met Randall.
“Hmm, friend. If you’re thinking of admonishing that you can’t love a commoner…
“Oh my God, Sir Randall. Do you think I would say something like that? Besides, the love between ‘commoners’ and ‘? When I see Sir Randell alone Cheryl…
“No no! I know that too, so don’t bother talking about it, friend. Because I’ve hurt my self-esteem enough lately. And, just in case, from Katherine…
It’s a never-ending secret. know?”
Sometimes Yuma seemed to understand why Duran beat Randall so easily. Yuma shook his head as if he had no answer, and met Randall’s eyes.
“Sir Randall. I don’t think I’ll be back for the next two days to Mantu. Sir Randell, please explain well to Natalie and the commanders.”
“If I go out tonight, will I come back the day after tomorrow?”
“Perhaps.”
“why?”
“Because I have to kill Mantu after finishing the rest of my training.”
Mantu’s condition was something that Randell had been familiar with.
“Wouldn’t that be a bit dangerous? No matter how weak you become, can your friend handle the full fight alone?”
“You can’t even imagine. How weak Man Tu is.”
“Still, I don’t think Miss Natalie will keep her friend alive if we leave without saying anything like that.”
“I have no confidence to convince you. Right now, my head is also complicated. If there is any problem, I will fire the signal flares that Tally prepared for me.”
“If your friend says that, hey. Say goodbye to the little guy. They said it was regrettable that they couldn’t meet each other in a more perfect state.”
Yuma nodded and went back to his barracks to sleep.
I couldn’t sleep because of the thought of having to cut Mantu myself, but I had to force myself to sleep.
It’s all about replenishing your stamina.
“Kreur…
When the time came, Tulka let out a low cry in front of the commander’s barracks. Yuma, who had been napping, was awakened by the sound and got on the Tulka.
“Somehow you look depressed too.”
As Tulka slowly began to leave the unit’s barracks, Yuma spoke.
Yuma didn’t move in haste.
No one wants to rush down the road to cut a man they just befriended.
Yuma felt the Ascalon hanging around her waist heavier than ever.
Toulka did not speed up even after leaving the barracks, probably knowing Yuma’s feelings.
With no wind blowing, in the silence, Yuma gathered her thoughts and slowly headed towards Mantu.
How many hours did you walk and run like that?
Yuma sensed something was wrong.
‘Magi!’
A faint demonic energy was transmitted from the other side of the desert far away.
Throughout all of training with Mantu, Yuma had never once felt demonic energy.
It was always thanks to Mantu’s energy to prevent monsters and demons from approaching the area.
It was one of two things that demonic energy was transmitted.
Either Mantu ran out of control, or Mantu’s power weakened, and other demons were again active in the Central Desert.
Either way, it wasn’t a pleasant experience. Yuma tugged at Tulka’s mane to speed it up.
As Tulka started to run at full speed, Yuma was able to face the madness that was rapidly increasing with incredible speed.
Just as each person’s strength is different, Magi was the same.
The feeling of the demons that the lower and upper demons enjoyed was completely different, and the general level and the demon king level were the same.
The Magi that Yuma was passing on now was a mixture of all types.
‘Thousands of nasty guys… a lot of generals, two demon kings…!’
The further I went, the clearer I could read the magic.
It wasn’t a problem at all that the lower-middle-class demons and general-level demons were mixed. That was a level that Yuma alone could handle.
The problem is that there are two Demon Kings.
Empey and Good Niakl were both beaten by Yuma. The only demon king left was Gentleman Galos, but it was strange to feel two of them.
‘Could it be Mantoo?!’
When Zecca before returning became ‘mythic’, the capital knights almost mobilized and became a monster that was barely killed.
It was ominous. Suddenly, anxiety began to soar.
Unknowingly, Yuma clenched her teeth and shouted Mantu’s name.
“Mantu!”
Thanks to Tulka’s speedy run, Yuma was soon able to reach the training location with Mantu.
However, as always, Mantu, sitting in a sitting position and waiting for him, was nowhere to be seen.
Instead, only the magic that was approaching much closer than before vibrated.
Quarre…!
It could be heard very quietly from where Yuma was, but it must have been a roar from afar.
The sound continued like a magic bombardment that terrified young Yuma as a war orphan.
After all, Mantu was unable to fully spend the time he had expressed himself as having ‘ten days left’.
Yuma took out a signal flare from his chest. During training with Mantu, Natalie had made sure to shoot her if anything happened.
Phew!
The signal flare rose high into the sky and became a light source. In one instant, the whole area became dazzlingly bright, as if the sun had risen right in front of you.
That intense light was visible even from the barracks where 50,000 soldiers were camped.
As soon as Natalie confirmed the flare, she called her colleagues.
“Ordinary soldiers don’t know what those flares mean. Move stealthily and swiftly to avoid confusion!”
Yuma started moving towards the repulsive demon.
