I Became an Immoral Child in the Game

chapter 17



17 – 5-The Presence of a Godhead

*

“Bjorn, the water is here.”

“…….”

“You must have sweated a lot. I’ll bring you a towel right away.”

In the backyard of the lighthouse castle, Barton Wigner spoke to me as if he couldn’t comprehend the current situation as Amber passed by.

“What the hell is going on?”

“What is it, Barton Wigner? Didn’t you go home?”

“No, how many times do you make me say this?! I got seconded?!”

The duel between me and Amber, which caused a commotion in the small lighthouse village, passed without a word, and the second test proceeded as scheduled.

Barton Wigner took the 2nd test with the lighthouse sword method, and fortunately, he succeeded in demonstrating all 11 stars so that my teaching was not overshadowed.

“Ah, yes. Shivering like a fawn?”

The problem is that Barton completed the swordsmanship too quickly.

The instructors tilted their heads and asked Barton to try again.

When that went past three times, Sir Ragnar, the lighthouse commander, personally stepped forward and gave notice of acceptance.

Barton, who was mentally cornered, passed out as soon as he was notified of his acceptance as his legs gave out.

Looking like a newborn fawn, Barton earned the nickname Knight of the Deer even before he was appointed.

“Keuheum, isn’t it because you passed?”

“Don’t go anywhere and say that you studied swordsmanship under me. Amber is 100 times better than you.”

Amber passed all three subjects in the second exam.

As a sword user, I had already achieved it since I entered, so of course I passed, and I passed the water walking without difficulty, and even the lighthouse swordsmanship, which was my only weakness, passed with plenty.

He was indeed a great chief, such as the human race in Esteria’s biography.

“Ember was a sword user from the beginning. Even so, to Bjorn-nim, everyone would look the same. Even the instructors were tongue-in-cheek at your skills.”

At the time of the second exam, I took all three subjects like Amber.

The difference with Amber is that I took all three subjects at once.

“To demonstrate the lighthouse swordsmanship with a sword wrapped in aura while walking on water. If you become a sword expert, can anyone do anything like that?”

Barton then exclaimed in admiration as he recalled the incident.

Judging from Barton’s reaction, it seems that the plan to imprint in people’s minds that I am a sword expert has succeeded.

At least among the knights in Lighthouse Village, there won’t be anyone who doubts my skills.

“It’s okay. What are you doing to save face in a test that you can pass if you become a sword user?”

“More than that, how on earth did Amber get roasted and boiled? No matter how tough the duel conditions were, I would never have thought that an unassuming b*tch would listen to her words.”

“What are you talking about? Roasting?”

This time I looked at Barton with a puzzled face.

Who did what to whom?

“I have brought you a towel, sir.”

As soon as she started talking about herself, Amber came with a towel.

A sigh escaped my lips at the sound of the owner.

“Lord, Master?!”

“The words of the female knight who lost the duel are like this. Barton, what are you surprised by even being a witness to the duel?”

“Then it really heals the body and mind…!”

“Master, do you have anything else to ask of me? If it’s your order, I can take it off here.”

I’m really dizzy.

Crushing my temples with a migraine, I said in a voice mixed with a sigh.

“Barton, none of what you’re thinking. Amber, if you tease me with that bullsh*t one more time, then I’ll hold you accountable.”

“I must have been too absorbed in making fun of Barton. But wasn’t it Bjorn-sama who asked me to devote my body and soul? I just did as you commanded.”

In the past few days since being released from prison, Amber has been obsessed with teasing me like a mischievous older sister.

The problem is that I’m not used to having a conversation with the opposite s*x, so I haven’t been able to cope with Amber’s level-headed jokes.

I did it because I deliberately provoked it during a duel. How could there be a madman who would normally spit out such a thing to the opposite s*x?

When I was embarrassed, Amber noticed that and made more explicit s*xual jokes to embarrass me.

Even though I swore the oath of a knight, it seems that the wounds I dug up during the duel remained as sediment.

Even though I threatened to ask him for his sins if he did it one more time, Amber shrugged his shoulders and shouted bullsh*t, ‘The vassal’s sins are the lord’s sins. Did.

Haa, this is all because I, the lord, have no strength.

My sins are deep, so who can I blame?

On the contrary, thanks to Amber’s words and actions, this world has become more mass marketable.

“So why are you doing this nonsense all morning? Did I order that too?”

“To say that taking care of yourself is a joke.”

Amber handed me a towel and glared at me.

Why are you angry?

Seeing that she was staring at her, I wondered if my choice of recruiting Amber was wrong.

“The Lighthouse of Humanity is the Knights of the De Yeevitz family, and isn’t Bjorn the eldest son of the De Yeevitz family?”

“Formally they are the Emperor’s Knights.”

“Formally, the Knights of the Holy Cross also belong to the Holy See. Anyway, I was wondering if Bjorn-nim knows what the final exam is. Even after the second exam is over, the instructors haven’t said anything, so I’m anxious. They can’t leave us alone like this. It doesn’t exist.”

“What, don’t you know what the last test is? Northerners already know everything?”

“I’m from the southeast.”

“Neither do I.”

As if she understood the situation in her own way, Barton sorted out his embarrassing feelings and listened to a word.

Well, if you’re from the southeast, and you were born and raised in the countryside, you might not know.

[What is the last test?]

Jin also asked me if he was curious.

Unlike the 1st test, which changes every rider, the 2nd and last tests have all been the same since the founding of the Humanity Lighthouse.

The contents of this last test had a great influence on the notoriety of the entrance exam to the Lighthouse of Humanity.

“The last test… Actually, even the word test is strange. Think of it as a rite of passage.”

“Then is it easy?”

“If you’re lucky.”

“What the hell are you talking about?”

I gave an answer to Amber and Barton, who looked at me with curious faces.

“The final test is to cross enemy lines and catch the demons.”

As soon as the word devil came out, their faces hardened.

Jin asked in a puzzled tone.

[Catching demons with these blood? Does that make sense?]

‘At most, I’ll catch a few of the lowest evil icicle dogs outside of Homeland and perform a ritual.’

[I am very anxious.]

‘What are you so worried about?’

[Because this test is a pitiful judgment that comes from ignorance in my standards. It’s because you haven’t met the High Demon. Not a bunch of frost golems, but real demons of the highest order. When that moment comes, now you don’t have a chin.]

‘Don’t worry. It’s an annual ritual. It won’t be any big deal.’

The only one who was terrified was Jin.

Amber had a calm expression, as if asking when his face had hardened, and Barton asked me back with a tilt of his head.

“I-I don’t know if it’s okay to say this… But weren’t all demons a lie made up by religious people? I heard that monsters living in Homeland are called demons? Are you trying to catch those monsters?”

“Does the Knights of the Holy Cross say they would fly away if they heard it?”

“They don’t care about a country nerd like me because they’re beating up heretics. And I’m just ashamed to learn demonology here.”

“You’ll soon find out if it’s true or a lie.”

“If you say that, it sounds real.”

Amber also seemed to believe that there was no devil in her heart.

Seriously, then why do you think the Humanity Lighthouse is being blown by the sea breeze at the end of this empty continent?

Recently, the positivists who have infested the capital are ruining even the strictest places for no reason.

The development of learning is important, but the problem was that it spread at this time when the devil was preparing to go south.

“I heard that the maintenance of the master ship will be finished soon. We will be leaving for Homeland within 15 days.”

There is no need to teach you that your thoughts are wrong.

Because soon you’ll learn on your own.

*

The candidates who passed the second test were given basic education such as chivalry, code of conduct in battle, and demonology.

Other than that, it was all free time.

This is the last leisure before going down to Stemwind.

I have to concentrate on personal training to raise my survival rate even just a little bit.

[Hmm, I think my body will support me at this level.]

I was concentrating on my simbeop after clearing my mind in the backyard of the lighthouse castle.

“Then finally!”

[Yes, let’s use the power of fire.]

In the meantime, in order to use Firejeong, I had to go through a short circuit and neutralize my mana before using it.

It was a last resort that I had no choice but to use because my body couldn’t stand the anger.

So, even after I reached the intermediate level of sword expert, I hadn’t done anything special besides training my stamina and mind.

Suddenly, I was getting impatient, but Jin’s approval finally fell.

[Listen carefully from now on. First of all, close your eyes and focus on the fire. What is the shape of the fire in your head?]

What kind of bullsh*t are you talking about focusing on anger?

Without anything to do but concentrate, he is emitting strong assertiveness from his chest.

Look, even now…… , What?

As Jin said, let’s focus on Hwajeong, and Hwajung was coiled around her chest in a different shape from the previous perception.

As much as my body is prepared, it seems that Hwajeong is also recovering her original appearance.

“……The crystal of fire. It burns endlessly, spewing out flames from its center like a glass marble.”

[Never touch the center. I thinly draw the rising flames and lead them towards you. You can’t tear it apart. The important thing is to induce the mana of fire without going through the mana stored in the danteon. It won’t be easy since it’s not about handling your magic.]

Jin’s spell has become difficult.

To draw and use the power of fire without spending my mana.

Isn’t it the same as saying to use chopsticks without chopsticks?

However, the flames soaring from the fire were drawn as thin as a thread, as if reading my mind.

I felt it instinctively.

This is Hwajeong herself granting me her power.

[Huh? Don’t let me go so easily! You are more valuable than that! What the hell is that kid doing to such an extent!]

Unforgotten ex?

If you put it that way, it’s like I NTRed Hwajeong.

“Focused. What if the leader has other thoughts?”

[Keuheum, gather the power from the fire in your right hand. Even if your hands are hot, you must never stop until I say stop.]

Swallowing a harsh moan down my neck, I focused on guiding the mana extracted from the fire well into my fingertips.

Now I understand why Jin asserted that it is impossible to handle all the power of Hwajung.

Even though it’s only a small part of the flame, I didn’t neutralize it with my mana, so it burned as if it would burn the inside of the body that led it.

It was as if his arms were wriggling as if they had been raised on a fire, and he was crying out for help.

At that moment, my right hand heated up.

It shines bright red like hot iron, with the momentum to melt everything it touches.

Is this really the color that the human body can emit?

I looked down at my hand with a bewildered face.

“This is the true power of fire. Any strong man will die if he touches this flame, right?”

[Your anger isn’t that good yet. However, any strong person will take great damage if they touch the flame.]

My tongue stuck out at Hwajeong’s infinite possibilities.

If I could use it properly, I wouldn’t be afraid of the world.

[Currently, one hand is limited, but if you can handle fire more skillfully, you can put it on the sword like an aura or wrap it around your body. It is unknown whether a human body can withstand it.]

If that’s the case, would a sword master be a master?

Sword Saint Landeros should be able to kneel.

[In this state, you can materialize me when you become a senior. I don’t know how many minutes your body can last.]

Jin said that if my body gets stronger, I can draw out the power of Hwajeong and create a false body.

It meant that if I could withstand the output, I could summon Jin, one of the three gods, and wipe them all out.

This was like having an ultimate.

“hehehehe, just say Kaniel. You’re behind.”

“Who’s searching?”

I turned my head in the direction of the sound, and there stood Helga Sentle, Senior Engineer of the Lighthouse.
