12 – Loneliness amid cheers
Meanwhile, the faces of the students in the audience seats watching the battle between the two gradually hardened.
Dianes didn’t notice, but they knew very well what Chiron’s body belching smoke meant.
Feast of Chiron. Equis Puro.
The nymph and half-man, half-horse who have lived in this forest the longest are Chiron’s absolute fighting posture, which he has only seen twice.
“Um, is that okay?”
“To think Master Chiron is so excited…”
“It looked like he had just gone to the window and did something, but he said Master was excited about it?”
Those who are not aspiring to be unmanned or those whose skills are not yet up to par ask questions.
“You use the window like that? Without a shield?”
“Did you neglect your life and focus only on attacks?”
“It’s bullsh*t, didn’t you see the match before?
I read Master Chiron’s trajectory and defended with the spear, and at the same time attacked.”
“Oh… Then, did you mean that it was not a coincidence that Master’s lower body was dislocated earlier?”
“Attack and defense all in one. What kind of life have you been living?”
Those who can read this are amazed.
“To be able to handle the wind so freely, is it Zephyrus-sama’s son?”
“Did you get a sprained eye? Wild boar? That’s not divine power, it’s something else. And did you see Zephyrus-sama’s sons do that?”
“Uh…no?”
And even in this forest, only a handful of people, the four who could maintain even a slightly equal footing with Chiron, followed Dianes’ movements precisely and were sweating with their hands.
Winds that rise with unfamiliar spearmanship, strange movements.
The duel, in which the offensive came and went without a break, was stoking fire in the hearts of the boys who dreamed of becoming heroes.
While they couldn’t take their eyes off the fierce confrontation between their teacher and their new classmate, the flow changed in an instant.
“Huh?! A light horse spear?”
“Yaya, I haven’t done that except when the wild boar ran out of control!?”
“…..Damn it, EMTs! Get ready!”
Even in the long history of the Forest of Heroes, Chiron’s master’s special move has only been shown twice.
It is said that even the titans were astonished by its ferocious attack, which shattered everything in its path.
“…..”
While everyone was shocked and astonished at the centaur’s signature deadly stance, only Hercules quietly watched the situation.
He also faced Chiron’s special move once.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that the half-man, half-horse’s attack, which forced only an unreasonable head-to-head match, was violent.
“Now… what are you going to do?”
In the forest where countless heroes grow, only Hercules received Chiron’s dashing spear,
In addition to that, it even came out with one last lethal blow.
In other words, the slender-looking newcomer said that his martial arts and movements were equivalent to Hercules’ strength.
With countless eyes focused on the confrontation between the two, their blows eventually crossed.
– Boom!!

From noble mtl dot com
What is blocked is broken. If it cannot be broken, it is destroyed.
That’s why it’s a frenzy.
A spear of mad wind that overturns rivers and topples mountains.
“Even more so, the rampaging horse is the opponent.”
-Huhhhhh!!
The wind howls.
Why are you tying them up?
Do you dare to tie yourselves that flow from before you to after you?
The warm wind of a spring day, the sail wind from a distant sea, and a typhoon that swept everything away.
Come on, it won’t be long. Let’s jump somewhere
Crazy winds blow everywhere, and the flowers and the moon are all distorted.
The 7th second of the windbreaking window.
“Hwawolsae (花月刷)”
A point and a line, a line and a plane.
A huge spear of wind swept everywhere, distorting the surroundings and charging at the half-man, half-horse.
“Ahahahaha!! What a wonderful window!”
The old horse laughed loudly.
Like a landslide that swept everywhere, the skills refined over the years and the unwavering strength drew a single line and stopped the advance of the storm.
-Kugagagagak!
The transverse and forward strokes.
No storms and giant rocks.
Like a madly advancing wind and a huge rock blocking it.
The two spears could not touch each other, but between them, the opposite spirits clashed fiercely.
“Kiryahaaa!!”
“aaa!!”
The centaur’s bizarre cheers and the young boy’s shouts were mingled with the expansive noise that shook all directions and disappeared.
Thrill and excitement burned like lightning running down my spine, and my brain, which was pumping madly with adrenaline, felt like it was going to burst at any moment.
Since when? The moment when I, who didn’t even know how to fight, started laughing while sword-to-sword with my teachers.
To feel the thrill of the moment when life and death intersect, and to feel the beauty of bursting blood and flesh again with this young body.
This alone must have made it worthwhile to have come this far.
-Kwaung!
However, the ecstasy did not last long.
As I secretly exchanged glances with Chiron, I and Chiron, who understood each other, reaped the wind and bit the spear at the same time.
If you go one more step like this, one of the two will really die.
“Hmm!”
“Whoa… Ugh!”
As expected, your body is not yet ripe.
In contrast to Chiron, who cleanly scatters air waves and retrieves spears.
The scattered air waves creaked like the sound of an out-of-tune violin, and I could feel my weak muscles and bones swollen and cracked here and there from overexertion.
‘Originally, muscles and bones need to be broken and exploded to become stronger…’
Every time I saw that my body was less mature and weak, I would miss the body of the Emperor of the Heavenly Demon, who had been trained to the limit.
“Ehh…”
“Whoa! This is won! I couldn’t even pay for my age and I was excited! Are you okay?”
As the heat of the fight subsided, I looked down at my hands with a strange sense of deprivation and regret.
Chiron gave a lively laugh and patted my back.
“Now, I know what you’re thinking. Keep your head up and look around.”
At those words, I suddenly raised my head and looked around.
The inside of the Colosseum was quiet with a strange silence.
What, why are you so quiet?
“Don’t do that, just wave your hand.”
Slightly lower your head and, as Chiron whispered, let me slowly raise the spear.
It was only then that the inside of the Colosseum began to fill with cheers.
“Wowaaa!!”
“Cool freshmen!!”
“Ah… A bad idea comes to mind. The ballad of the black wind speared by the great teacher Chiron!”
“Where is the son of a famous god?”
“If you see him controlling the wind, he might be the son of the West Wind!”
“How could it be… He is so handsome…”
“Look at the sweat… Chewy.”
Thunderous applause and cheers.
There was some chatter in between, but it was an enthusiastic hospitality that reminded me of the cheers of the believers in the past.
In line with this, I was also slowly looking around and accepting the hospitality, while Chiron slowly raised his hand and quieted his audience.
“In the name of Chiron, son of Kronos and adoptive son of the old fertility goddess Rhea.
Today, I would like to accept Dianes of Pasos as a member of the forest of Chariclo.
Those who object to this, come out now and take his spear!”
As expected, isn’t the name of the teacher of ten thousand heroes a lie? In an instant, the Colosseum became quiet again at that majestic voice.
Chiron looked around the Colosseum with stern eyes, as if asking anyone to come out and see him.
“Good! Then, in the name of Zeus and the Twelve Gods of Olympus, Dianes of Pasos declares himself a disciple of Chiron from this time on!”
As soon as Chiron declared, he grabbed my arm and lifted it up, and the crowd burst into cheers with applause again.
-Wowaaa!!
“Ha…”
The stinging sunlight, the throbbing limbs, the sweaty face, the bursting heart.
And this thrill running down my spine.
A sense reigning in the midst of long-forgotten worship and cheer.
“hahahaha!!”
The bet was empty, and my arm throbbed in the strong, half-man, half-horse hand.
Nevertheless, I burst out laughing with all my might.
The number one member of the Millennium Demonic Cult.
The god of the living God of the Heavenly Demon, who was taught by twelve giants in the gap between this world and the underworld!
The intense memories that come back to life.
A song passed through the gap like an auditory hallucination.
-He is the Heavenly Demon who came down from the sky and became the suzerain of magic.
It is a great empire because it has achieved the unification of the continent, which was the Great World of Hwangeop.
Nine peaks kneel beneath a hundred thousand mountains.
The five clans bowed their heads to Protestantism.
His reign will last for more than ten thousand years, counting a hundred and exceeding a thousand.
The Murim Conquest now feels like a distant past.
When I reached the end, even the emperor of the Great Ming Empire bowed his head to me and stood in the Taehwajeon Hall of the Forbidden City, where only the emperor could stand.
It was a song sung by the civil servants and the demons who looked up at me with one voice.
A small perfume brought by cheers and enthusiasm that I haven’t heard in a long time.
However, when I erase this and open my eyes again, I see a half-human, half-horse looking down at me kindly.
There were young guys, still green, looking down at me from the audience.
-Waaa!!
“hahahaha, guys, it’s been a while since I’ve seen cheers like this.”
Unexpectedly, it was only then that I felt it.
This is Korea, where planes flew and cars ran.
It is a completely different world, not the Moorim where the church members and powerful masters who were enthusiastic about me lived.
The Great Emperor of the Heavenly Demon, who commanded ten thousand horses, was no longer there, and only Dianes, a young orphan, was there.
“One single body, one eye high air….hahahaha.”
In the midst of those who were enthusiastic about me, I couldn’t help but laugh bitterly at the dejection I didn’t know.
I’ve only seen her for one day, but for some reason, I feel like I miss Neri so much.
Hahaha
Waifu Neri❤
