Chapter 113: The Sun Is A Radiant Star! (2)

The Sun Is A Radiant Star! (2)

I didnt want to kill animals in the testing. But I guess I have to.

Naru and Cecily liked animals.

It was self-explanatory, the way Naru was affectionate with her familiar Molumolu, and Cecily with her ragdoll cats.

Hina probably liked animals, too.

Perhaps thats why I was a little reluctant to kill the demon dog, Orthor.

Those black eyes were strangely brilliant.

But then after hearing that weird mantra, the dog went feral and its eyes bled from all the popped vessels.

It was a pure rampage.

It seemed like it was suffering.

Ill relieve you.

With a hand chop, I struck down heavily on the dogs necks.

Keeeen!

Guwak!

The demon dog fell over with a yelp, its body twitching.

It passed.

This was the only way to calm and suddenly feral specimen.

Uhm, they wont ask for compensation, right?

I was worrying slightly when the arena door opened.

Was I allowed to leave?

When I stepped outside the cage, Elle Cladeco covered me with a white gown.

I was putting it on when she spoke, highly impressed.

Your karma level has been updated. Though by a little, it has increased for sure.

Yeah well, I killed a dog.

Its fascinating. Judas, at a level like yours, its difficult to accumulate karma. It doesnt increase with just any kind of situation. This data will be helpful.

It was difficult to understand with all the complicated talk, but it was basically that the higher level one is, its hard to gain experience, right?

And that in comparison, I was gaining experience rather easily?

Did the experience points modifier vary between people?

However, there is a limit to using Orthor. Anything stronger would be a Crimson Ogre, or a Cyclops

Crimson Ogre.

Cyclops.

They were all powerful monsters.

However, I decided to be honest.

Even if you threw both of them at me, I would hardly break a sweat. Do you have anything stronger? Since were testing, anyway. I want to give it my all, too.

An opponent with whom I can fight at full strength.

There werent many, honestly, but there were some.

Enkidus, would you like to do the honors?

The Grand Abbot addressed Enkidus.

Enkidus had been quiet since earlier, which I assumed he mightve been in silent meditation as he tended to do occasionally.

A spar against Enkidus.

It has been a while.

With that, Enkidus and I entered the cage.

.

Clap

Enkidus put his hands together with a clap.

It was always like this whenever I sparred with him.

We havent sparred in a while. Dont take it easy on me this time.

.

Instead of replying, Enkidus took a stance.

He stood straight with his heels together, one hand behind his back and the other showing the back towards me.

Whoosh

As I was drawing the form of his stance in my mind, Enkidus raised a foot high.

His foot pointed at the ceiling.

It slammed down towards the floor.

Baaaam!

It was a technique called Stamp-Pd if I recall correctly.

Its force was so great that the steel floor which withstood even the Orthors rampaging dented under him.

The shock of it made the foundation wobble like tofu.

In the short moment I lost my balance, an iron-like fist was already at my face.

Shh

I dont have time to block.

Will just have to make it hurt less.

I twisted my body away in the same direction his fist was heading.

Baaaam!

My face felt like a cannonball crashed into it and I flew from the impact all the way into the camera on the wall.

Guuk.

That hurt.

But before I could regain my standing, Enkidus leaped towards me

Dadadadada

Punches came in quick succession, appearing like a hundred fists.

Was the skill called Rapid Fire Punch?

Definitely not taking it easy!

I concentrated on evading the best I could.

But the surrounding cage was already partially destroyed.

.

In the past, my rage may have been incited by someone rather than of my own willIs that what you are thinking, Enkidus? That killing the brothers and fleeing may have been because of an induced state of madness.

.

You could never lie. So you have a habit of keeping silent. However, Enkidus, your assumption is wrong. My madness is solely my own. I left the sect willingly.

Is that so?

Enkidus, you always did miss a step. The one who the Grand Abbot drove mad, was not I. You also know this madman well. I saw, that day. That man.

Madman?

He was a truth-seeker in ragged clothes. Someone unusual. He climbed the 300 thousand steps to the temple relying on two sticks, and as he was dying he asked the Grand Abbot for directions.

.

Why do you think the Grand Abbot sent you, the secondary, instead of me, her top disciple, to the subjugation of the Demon King? Because you are one who knows nothing. That day, the name of the truth-seeker I saw was Sabernak.

!

A snake who fails to become a dragon goes mad in the end. There is no truth at the temple. How can you teach anyone when you yourself are lost?

Enkidus couldnt listen any longer.

Because he was short on time.

Did Judas not want to show the children from the future to the Grandmaster because of this?

He had excellent instincts.

And the time for Enkidus to make a decision was approaching, it seemed.

I had noticed something, but

There was no time.

Enkidus needed to tell Judas before the Grandmaster approached the children.

Although he didnt know what the Grandmaster was planning to do in this city, it was all the more concerning because he couldnt predict it.

So he ran as fast as he could through the dark.

His body always moved according to his will but today, his legs felt heavy.

Thankfully, he could see the Junk Mansion at a distance.

However, even closer than that, someone with bright, shining eyes appeared from an alley.

My dear disciple, where are you off to in such a hurry?

Master.

Today, I noticed that you behaved unlike how you usually do. You are one who holds his tongue rather than lying. This Unenlightened One has taught you this way.

Master, what will you do to Judas?

Nothing will happen to that man. However, depending, I will do to his children whatever is necessary. Hence, my disciple, go back. I will not tell you twice.

Enkidus, disconcerted, hadnt felt like this in a long time.

What is it that he should do here?

What would happen if he went back the way he came?

Will you disobey the will of your master? You would throw away the one who found you at the temple and took you in and raised you, for a relationship of merely 2 years, at most.

The Master was Enkidus parent.

To love them was a childs instinct. Even if that parent was a kind of evildoer.

Judas and Naru, Cecily, and Hina were proof of that.

As well, habits were not easily broken.

Enkidus, who had always obeyed his master, knew very well that he had to obey her command to go back.

.

Bow

At last, Enkidus put his hands together and bowed his head toward his master.

Master.

Good, Enkidus. You always were a bright child. You understand this ones.

Please do not ever forgive me.

Inhaling deeply, Enkidus yelled with all that he had.

So that it would reach everyone who would be sleeping at the mansion.

.

However, the sound did not travel, because a womans arm pierced through his lung.

When that arm withdrew from his chest, Enkidus could feel his vitality spill out through the gaping hole.

Cough.

You foolish child. You would have eventually been able to climb the steps and become a dragon. However, this, too, is fate. My disciple, you were born meaninglessly and abandoned by your birth mother, only to die the same at the hands of the mother who raised you.

.

Even Judas would not have been able to hear your last words. Such a pity. Pitiful. How sad.

Enkidus saw golden tears fall from the golden eyes of his master.

Was it out of sadness, for losing a disciple who was like her child?

No, it wouldnt be.

The Grandmaster was not mourning Enkidus.

Even after killing a precious disciple, this Imperfect One cannot feel even a feathers weight of karma on her shoulders. Ahh, how pitiful. A single step. Though I have only one step to climb.

Enkidus could feel his body grow cold.

The last cry that may have been his will.

Judas wouldnt have heard it.

However.

It wasnt meaningless.

Because the current Judas was not alone.

Out of the relationships that Judas built, someone will surely have heard it.

Someone.

And that someone was quick to act.

How strange. Grand Abbot, why did you kill your own disciple?
