17 – Preparing for the Revolution 3

“Suck!”

A sharp sword blade aims at the belly with a small cheering sound.

Chae-jin, who skillfully knocked it out, immediately found a gap and tripped his foot to knock the opponent over.

Kwaaak!

“Oh no!”

Iril, heavily armed, pinned to the ground, let out a small moan and trembled, then stood up and swung the sword again.

Cheng-!

Ppaak-!

“Ugh!”

After clashing swords several times, he was punched and kicked dozens of times.

“School. Crane. Crane.”

She had been fighting against Chaejin for over half a day already, holding her sword tightly.

‘Although there was a break, her whole body would be screaming…… It holds up really well.’

As much as her willpower alone, even Chaejin stuck out her tongue.

‘Yes. She really is a guy who has walked a long way to the point of dying from overwork. If I keep going like this, I will become extremely strong in a really short period of time.’

Originally, this kind of ignorant training was nothing but a foolish act that would only consume her body.

However, it’s different if you have a divine protection.

Even if your head is cut off and your heart is cut in half, a body that will not die but come back to life if you receive the proper healing magic.

Having a bone disease is something you can easily endure.

So the more you practice, the stronger you become.

Today is the 10th day since I came to the Holy Land.

Iril, who spends more than 15 hours every day in intense training called sparring with Chaejin, is no longer the weak little boy he used to be.

It has already risen to the point where it is treated as a competent person wherever it goes.

‘It seems Gaho has grown up. It’s not a fight where she risked her life, it’s just sparring, but she’s getting stronger at a much faster rate than I am.’

As evidence of that, her body is also changing little by little.

“Hey, let’s do this for today.”

“Ah, jik, sigh, more… I could…… !”

“Time is up already. Your body needs time to rest so it can grow faster. Should you listen to me?”

“Huff, puff… yes. I’ll listen carefully to the warrior!”

As soon as her final announcement was heard, Iril took off her helmet and sat down on her gym floor to cool off her hot body.

She ate a lot every day and worked out all day, so she gained a good amount of weight from her sunken cheeks.

Originally, her face was pale and there were dark spots on her skin, but now her complexion has improved to a nice white skin.

“Haa…… I really like this armor, it’s really strong and it fits me perfectly, but it’s too hot to fight!”

The set of armor that was originally intended for warriors was a collection of new technologies researched by the dwarves, so it changed shape according to the user’s body shape and was easy to put on and take off.

She threw off her armor in an instant and sat comfortably on her floor, looking up at her cheeks and smiling at her.

“Huuu, I think I’ll live a little longer. You worked hard today, didn’t you?”

“Yes, great.”

Chaejin’s gaze was soaked wet and turned to the clinging cloth.

‘Keuheum, everything is reflected…… They don’t realize that the child is a girl.’

Originally, Illil was small and skinny, so I just felt like a girl, but in these few days, a lot has changed.

Should I say that I came out when I came out and went in when I went in?

From the beginning of her training, she suddenly gave off the atmosphere of a ‘woman’.

This was due to the reorganization of the body due to mana.

Body reconstruction is what any mana user experiences, and it means that the body changes in a better direction while training mana.

If you are short, you will grow taller and if your arms are short, your arms will be longer.

It begins to grow as if it were raised up, claiming the ideal appearance that the original gene should have.

Therefore, most of the people who trained mana had a beautiful appearance.

Chaejin’s party members were exceptionally pretty.

In the case of Lee Lil, there was no choice but to have a change at the level of metamorphosis, because she grew up eating poorly and was small compared to her age.

There was no way she would have taken care of her appearance, and because she lived through a lot of rough things, she had many scars on her body.

Living according to the situation as if flowing by, and bones, muscles, and flesh that have not been found in the right place are all placed in the right place, and a state of change to the extent that you can almost call it a different person.

I was doing what I couldn’t grow during my adolescence.

A well-balanced, beautiful body and clean skin were bonuses.

Reconstruction of the body is something that every mana user goes through.

Chaejin also had a change in her appearance to the point where you might wonder if she is a different person if you compare her now to when she first became a warrior.

However, Iril’s speed was very unusual.

Originally, it was supposed to happen slowly over several years.

She has only been on the 10th day since she started her training.

Even so, did you mean that there was such a change?

This is partly because the situation was bleak compared to the original Irill’s genes, but it was hard to explain except that Gaho’s performance was amazing.

Conversely, it was said that it would be impossible to capture the resurrected Demon God’s clone unless it was this far.

“I train so hard every day…… Isn’t it painful?”

“No? I really enjoy it! Of course, it’s really hard and it hurts a lot, but I feel like I’m getting really strong every day, so it’s really good, right?”

“Yes, if you are, then what?”

At the end of the conversation, Iril stood up flapping her clothes around her chest.

“I need to go take a nice shower, eat a lot of delicious food, and rest. Ah, just thinking about it makes me happy! I want to live like this forever!”

“After everything is over, you don’t have to do this hard training.”

“But…… Want to do. Rather than being difficult, I really like the feeling of being with the warrior all the time.”

“Is that so… ….”

“Then see you later, warrior!”

Now that you are a hero, the same words will be useless.

[ But the hero is my hero! ]

The more you look at him, the more admirable he is.

With that thought in mind, Chaejin moved away with her tired body.

“Oh, warrior. You are here.”

When I return to my room, Prim is waiting for me at the door.

“Is the training of the new hero going well?”

“It’s so good that I wonder if it’s okay to do this.”

“Whoops, that’s good news. I also brought a piece of news. In some ways, this is normal, and in some ways, it can be called bad news.”

“Looks like the empire has moved.”

“Yes, I raised a large army to punish the Seongguk for spreading absurd false rumors in the name of the goddess. They don’t seem to care about monsters destroying small towns anymore.”

I thought that would be the case with those chi.

Rather than reflecting on their greed and accepting the flow, they were noblemen who would die holding their status and power even if they all perished together.

“It comes out dirty all the way. How is the atmosphere among the people of the empire?”

“Worst of all. Two days ago there was a magic bombing of large protesters. Those who spread false rumors were sentenced to immediate execution regardless of the reason. I’m going to block all suspicions with greater fear.”

“Are you not afraid of the aftermath? If this despair continues, it will eventually explode…….”

“It’s not strange when a revolution happens, but we still need a solid focal point. That’s what you do.”

Currently, the Holy Kingdom has a very powerful card called a hero and his successor.

When Chaejin stepped out, it was the moment when the troops of the empire attacked the castle.

Used in the middle of the location where two armies are about to collide, it fires a large shockwave and lands in the center.

Then, with the prepared speech, it is to create a clear focal point.

“I’m not good at speaking.”

“I still have to do it, what can I do?”

There is no guarantee that everything will go well, but all the justifications are on this side.

Even for humans who fear immediate death rather than destruction to come soon, the story will be different if they know that a hero is trying to save the world.

From the point of view of the empire, it was a last resort without even the slightest hope at the end.

But it is not necessary for the soldiers to follow in that last outburst.

Greater despair for the leaders who participated in the deportation.

I will offer hope to the soldiers and the people who only follow orders because they do not want to die.

It was up to them to decide which choice to make.

Chaejin recalled the piece of spirit water he always carried around.

‘The elves who showed me what fidelity is. I don’t feel comfortable letting them get caught up in my problems…….’

But since I got the right, shouldn’t I use it?

There was nothing to use other than this time.

“In Seongguk, I think about a week at the earliest and a month at the latest. The quicker the decision, the better. Only then will we properly prepare for destruction.”

“Yes. Be sure to prepare After all, time won’t wait.”

“I will support you. You can do it, warrior! You know I was the only one in our party who didn’t take orders and liked you, right?”

As if trying to ease the tension, Prim spoke in a joking manner.

Chaejin also took it as a joke and spat out a word.

“Sure. If I had known it would be like this, I would have married you. No, do you want to get married right now?”

“…… !”

If you want…….

“Ai, it was a joke, why are you taking it seriously?”

“Because I can’t tell the difference.”

Those words couldn’t bear to come out of Prim’s mouth.
