My Disciples Know That I Am Strong

Episode 2. Hero Awakening (8)

“Ariel.”

Dex called Ariel shortly after Prause entered the Brich Forest.

“What is it?”

“What are you doing, Prause? Did you go to kill the monster?”

“Killing monsters? Is he?”

Remembering Prause, who had the same physical abilities as ordinary villagers, Ariel burst into laughter.

“I think Prause-nim would be able to cut down at least a werewolf without any hesitation.”

‘Huh. Why do kids think Prause is strong? Certainly, the spirit I feel from him is strong, but……. He would know that he is weak even if he only competes with a pair of swords.’

“…… Maybe. It’s the first time in hundreds of years that someone treats the King of Spirits like that.”

Ariel decided it would be more fun to let them think Prause was strong.

‘Where, shall we watch what you are trying to do?’

* * *

I can’t feel the presence even though I’ve come quite deep.

It didn’t seem like the demons had yet recognized me even though I lit the torch and went forward.

Thanks to the stone of purification, there is no problem with being exposed to demons for a long time, but I didn’t want to be in such a dreary forest for a long time.

“Then there must be only one way.”

Closing and opening your eyes gave strength to your eyes.

[Activates the skill 「Living」.]

Looking around while maintaining vitality.

Monsters have long been faithful to their instincts. There’s no way I wouldn’t react to living.

It was the moment I was about to relax my eyes and take another step.

Kurerureu!

The sound of the beast can be heard from all directions. Fortunately, it seemed that I felt the right way to live.

Only then, along with signs that appeared one by one, countless hostile attacks were fired at my body.

A normal animal would have run away because of my killing power, but monsters are creatures that do not choose to run away.

They didn’t think of anything other than killing and eating.

Suddenly take a backward step. The monsters hiding in the forest started recognizing me as their prey.

Looking at the silhouettes, each one was well over two meters tall. The approximate number was ten.

It was a larger group than I thought.

“Wow, that’s a lot of f*cking.”

Spit out an honest exclamation, then swallow dry saliva.

Kurrure!

The sound of the beast gets closer. I heard rustling behind me, so it seemed that they were trying to encircle me and prevent me from escaping.

“Can you guys catch up with me?”

You can catch up. Huh.

Thanks to his high-speed movement, he was confident that he would not be caught, but he had to assume that he would die 100% if he tripped over a rock or a tree root.

It’s true that it’s more ripe than when I came in because I’ve already come, but I couldn’t recognize all the roads.

Still, I must do it if I want to live.

[The skill [High Speed Movement] Is activated.]

I immediately turned around. Run and go down fast.

Even if it was a monster wolf, it couldn’t easily catch up with the high-speed movement.

Illuminate the ground and barely see with my eyes where to put my feet.

That was the moment. Right next to me, a wolf opened its mouth at me.

“Queup!”

I hit the wolf’s mouth with a torch.

Break!

“Kaegaeng!”

The moment they collided, the head of the torch flew off and darkness came to the forest.

Tak! Widely!

The sound of kicking the ground comes from behind. It was pursued by other wolves.

If you don’t increase your speed, it will overtake you. But walking down a dark street was not an easy task.

I feel like I’m going blind, and fear wells up with every step I take.

Cudangtang!

As expected, he tripped and rolled on the ground.

“Hey!”

Rolling and going downhill. I was dizzy from the pain as if something had been broken.

But I had to put up with it. Had to endure

The light of a campfire is visible through the trees. Almost there.

It’s meaningless if the warriors wake up after I die.

They run away. Fortunately, it was fortunate that the leg was not injured.

“The monster has been brought out!”

“Hey! What are you doing?!”

“Prause! Didn’t you say you wouldn’t touch monsters?”

“They just said they wouldn’t kill me. Also, if you are within Ariel’s barrier, you won’t take any damage, so it’s okay.”

I said, wiping the dirt off my face with the back of my hand.

Wolf demons come out of the forest one after another. Twenty was a good number.

I thought it was ten…….

He took a deep breath and raised his sword towards the wolf pack.

“Tina, Iris, Maria.”

They didn’t answer.

I know you’re taken aback by the sudden situation, but I hope you’ll give me an honest answer.

It was obvious that even if I looked away from the wolf, I would be attacked, so I had no choice but to maintain a standoff.

“Tina! Iris! Maria!”

I raised my voice for the first time towards the girls who did not answer even after being called.

“Yes, four!”

“Did you call!”

“Yes!”

Three warriors respond belatedly.

Fortunately, he seemed to be looking this way.

“Prove your worth!”

Tadak.

I can hear the burning of the materials used to maintain the campfire.

“Prove the value of having you guys now! I won’t attack the wolves until you step up!”

Please. You shouldn’t be afraid of monsters.

You guys only have courage. Show your will to defeat the monster.

The quality of being a hero is to show the spirit to fight and win even against those stronger than oneself.

All you have to do is show your will to fight. You can awaken with it.

But they didn’t respond to my words.

Through that, I realized that this world is not a game world.

Yes. That this is reality

Even if the scenario flows properly, there is no guarantee that the main characters will respond appropriately.

Because he had a personality, any number of variables could arise.

Even though the wolves were creeping towards me, I couldn’t hear any voices from behind.

I chewed my lower lip. The hand holding the sword is full of strength.

“I!!”

Wolves flinch at my voice. My voice echoed through the forest.

[The skill [Expression Management] Is temporarily canceled.]

I see a hologram in front of me.

“I believe you can kill these wolves! Be brave! You can do it! Because you guys are the ones I personally saw and brought with me!”

Looking back, the girls’ expressions were nothing short of perplexed.

They were faces that didn’t know what to do.

Perhaps he was trying to entrust 10-year-olds with too much.

Did I try to awaken him too early?

“Kreur…… !”

Tak.

The wolf takes a step closer. But my feet didn’t back down any longer.

It seems like the god of death is shimmering in front of you. I feel sick to my stomach.

But I can’t back down. You have to show that this side is desperate, because the other side will also show something.

“Kuaaa!!”

With a ghastly scream, the wolf opened its mouth and charged at me.

Damn it, this is it.

It was the moment when I was about to snap my fingers as I closed my eyes tightly.

“「Absolute defense」!”

Kang!

A cracking sound came right in front of me.

When I opened my eyes again, in front of me was a fox tail waving the same color as my thick white hair.

“Prause, I will prove my worth!”

* * *

“I believe you can kill these wolves! Be brave! You can do it! Because you guys are the ones I personally saw and brought with me!”

Prause’s earnest voice spreads through the air.

Sensing the lingering sound of his voice that quickly disappeared, the three warriors bit his lower lip.

‘Even if you say that, there’s no way you can kill something that big… ….’

‘To prove my worth, how could I kill a monster when I couldn’t even kill a human… ….’

‘Kill that thing? How? I can’t use any magic……. Even if you use a magic scroll, you can’t win against something like that…….’

The three warriors couldn’t help but be embarrassed when they saw Prause’s expression after he finished talking.

Iris was the first to be shaken by the expression of trust in herself for the first time.

‘How can I prove my worth… …. If you don’t want to be abandoned by Prause-sama, you have no choice but to defeat the monster. Until now, Prause-sama was the only one who treated me as an equal.’

Recalling the two weeks they lived and spent together, Iris took her heart.

“I will prove it.”

The moment she had that thought, an unknown power began to dwell in Iris’ body.

It was the probability of a game that only the main character could get.

Noticing that, Ariel’s eyes widened.

‘What is that child… ….’

Arial, the spirit king who had lived for a long time, knew. What kind of power she sees into her body.

‘That’s the power the hero of the beginning had.’

When demons were created in the beginning, the same existence appeared in the empire.

Those who were the only hope of the Physis continent were the warriors.

In order to defeat the demon king, the spirit kings also had experience helping the hero, so it was impossible not to recognize them.

‘Couldn’t Prause have known from the beginning that they would awaken as heroes and brought them here?’

I thought it was bluffing.

Ariel thought of Prause as a small talker.

However, it was only after witnessing Iris awakening as a hero in front of her eyes that I understood why he said that he couldn’t kill the Demon King if he killed himself.

Meanwhile, Iris was perplexed by the sudden boiling of power, but recognized the reality.

‘I see. This was Prause-sama’s intention. It seems to be full of power. With this, I can prove my worth. If I prove my worth, I will definitely not abandon me!’

The warrior of defense, paladin.

The first one to awaken was Iris.

Iris sensed that a separate power was hidden in the weapon in her hand.

Utilizes the power spread throughout the body to kick the ground. In an instant, he gets caught between Prause and the wolf.

“「Absolute defense」!”

Kang!

Blocks the wolf’s teeth that were wide open at Prause.

“Prause, I will prove my worth!”

“Iris… ….”

Tina and Maria were confused by Iris’ sudden awakening.

‘Iris stood in front of the wolf. What did Prause do?’

‘Is there something? It must be because of us that Prause brought the monster out of the forest. Could it be that I have some hidden power?’

Maria rolled her own head and recalled the number of her cases.

I gathered three children of completely different races, different personalities, and never seen before.

I couldn’t find anything in common except that they were ten years old.

Maria judged that Prause couldn’t have brought such people without any reason.

‘Even I bought it with a huge amount of 1,300 gold. That… ….”

The moment she remembered that, she looked down at the staff she was holding.

‘Maybe I have the talent of a wizard? Didn’t Prause recognize that you have the power to defeat demons? If so…… I am.’

Maria’s mood changes.

She began absorbing all the mana floating in the air with her body.

She was as natural as breathing. Spreading mana all over her body, a grace similar to that of the great mage began to emerge.

The jewels on the staff she is holding glow in alternating four colors.

Red, blue, green, brown.

Fire, water, wind, earth.

It begins to show tremendous intimacy with the 4 elements that represent all attributes.

‘All Attribute Masters… ….’

The Hero of the Elements, the Elemental Master.

For the second time, Maria has awakened as a hero.

‘That’s an incredible amount of mana. It was this. What Prause was aiming for. As expected, I have to become Prause-sama’s apprentice.’

“「Fireball」.”

Maria embodies the magic she saw in the books when.

Feeling that the blocked accident accelerated, she threw intense flames at the wolf.

Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwang!

Originally, fireball was one of the basic fire magic, but when Maria used it, it showed off its power to make the ship stronger than a mere wizard used.

‘What is that… ….’

She watched the two awaken, Tina belatedly realized what she had to do.

‘Is it possible to kill demons… …. That’s it.’

“Prause!”

“Uh, huh?”

“Are you going to buy me a lot of rice?!”

Prause found Tina acting ridiculous in this situation, but he laughed and shouted.

“I’ll keep you full for the rest of my life!”

“Good!”

Tina dashed, holding tight to her unshakable vengeance.

They move faster and faster. Tina, who felt power all over her body, kicked her to the ground belatedly recognizing Prause’s intentions.

In an instant, Tina cuts the wolf’s head in front of Iris.

It was a clean blow.

People who saw it opened their eyes wide in admiration.

She couldn’t help but be surprised when she cut off the wolf’s head with one stroke, not enough to wield her own half-length sword freely.

She is ten years old this year, but she is no longer an ordinary child. In the past, she had become the hero of the sword that cut off the head of the first demon king.

[This surprises me too. You have more potential than me. Prause, my friend. Did you know that if you show the monster, these children will awaken!]

It was Phasma’s words that Prause couldn’t hear.

“Good.”

The warrior of the sword, the swordsman.

For the third time, Tina awakens.

‘From Paladins and Elemental Masters to Sword Saints… …. Prause, what the hell did this bastard collect?’

Ariel couldn’t help but be stunned.

Tina, carelessly shaking off her sword, looks at the wolves.

“Wow, that looks hideous.”

The wolves start to growl as if they are uncomfortable with Tina’s candid appreciation.

“Mrs. Prause.”

Maria approached Prause and called him.

“Why is that?”

Prause’s tone had returned.

As far as the expression management skill was temporarily released, Prause had to lick his lips.

“If I take care of all those wolves, will you accept them as disciples?”

Tina and Iris responded to Maria’s words.

“What? Maria, that wolf must be sacrificed for my food.”

“No. I have to use it to prove the worth of being with Prause.”

The three of them were arguing about the wolf monster, and then looked at the wolves at the same time.

“The person who catches it quickly is the owner anyway!”

Tina and Iris attack at the same time, and Maria embodies the magic.

I couldn’t find the emotion of fear in them anymore.
