Chapter 53

Episode 53. Deshurn Polon and Teaching

Kratan, the highest peak of the Krates Mountains.



At the end of a cliff located on a mountain peak high enough to touch the clouds, there was a small pavilion and a shabby hut built as if a hermit lived.

There, a muscular gray-haired old man who was just preparing breakfast suddenly turned his head and looked in one direction.

“Looks like you have a guest.”

He soon went out of the house with a table for two and headed to the pavilion.

Just in time, someone was walking upstairs with monster blood all over his body.

“I had a hard time coming. If you go a little further down, there is a stream, so wash up and come back.”

Adrias nodded and went down the side road without a chance to say hello.

“Every guy has a unique constitution.”

The old man smiled and waited for him to wash up and come up.

* * *

After briefly washing away the blood, I climbed back up and Deshurn, who was sitting in the pavilion, beckoned me.

“hello. I am... ... .”

“Have you had breakfast?”

At a loss of words, I shook my head and approached the pavilion.

Even when I saw it in game, it was a shocking visual, but seeing it in real life is even worse.

It was hard to believe that he was a gray-haired old man, and his physique and muscles were so strong.

This person is the Sword Saint Deshurn Fallon.

“Then let’s have dinner together.”

“thank you. Deshurn.”

And the personality is easy-going, as expected.

I sat across from Deshurn and before I ate the meal he had prepared, I took out the paper I had tucked in my chest and handed it to him.

When Deshurn was handed the paper, he gestured for him to eat it without paying attention.

To be honest, rice was also rice, but I had a strong desire to check the paper, but he seemed to have no intention of checking it, so I just started eating.

‘I’ve been eating only dry food, so even this much is a delicacy.’

He could have hunted animals and cooked them to eat, but he did not take the risk of summoning other monsters.

So after entering the mountain range, I ate only beef jerky or dried fruit every day, and when I ate the rice that Deshurn prepared, it couldn’t be more delicious.

After finishing the meal while quietly watching Deshurn, he stood up with a table.

Deshurn shook his head as I got up to help him.

“If you are a guest, sit still and rest. You must have had a hard time getting here.”

“yes. thank you.”

It was good to cook and treat guests, but I was in a hurry.

I wish Deshurn would hurry up and check the bell Bahat gave me.

As if he had read my mind, he checked the paper as soon as he left the prize.

“haha. This little boy has grown up a lot. How dare you send me a letter like this.”

bantling? Are you talking about Bahat?

Well, considering his age, Bahat might feel young too.

Even if Bahat is 60 years old, Deshurn will be the age of looking at 100.

Deshurn looked at me and gestured to me.

“I was just curious about it. Pull out your sword and try to digest it.”

Following his words, as I drew my sword, my hands flicked.

“Let’s look at the level first. I won’t fight back, so try attacking.”

Did you decide to listen to Bahat’s request? thank god.

As the opponent was the oldest monster among the existing Aura Masters, he swung his sword without hesitation.

“You can use mana.”

The sword that was being swung by the sudden words of Deshurn stopped without my knowledge.

... ... what did you just say?

“Why are you looking so surprised? Try attacking yourself.”

Looking at Deshurn, I tried to relax.

It’s no wonder that Deshurn noticed while Salem also noticed that I’m a dual core.

Maybe monsters like that have all the ways to know.

‘Or have a mana talent like me.’

I felt as if I was floating in midair and then fell to the ground.

Even I, who boasted that I had a considerable tolerance for pain, felt as if my five organs were being twisted, and my hands trembled.

“Come on, get up. It’s been a while since I started, and I’m already down.”

I got up from my seat while struggling to catch my breath at Deshurn’s laughing words.

Louis hated Deshurn, who could be said to be his benefactor, so why on earth did he not understand while playing the game, but now he seemed to understand.

‘It’s an ignorant method, but it seems to work, so I’m more pissed off.’

Deshurn’s good method was the theory that, in other words, ‘beating is medicine’, habits are naturally corrected when beaten.

And he hit me in a peculiar way, saying that if there is no pain, the habit will not be corrected.

“Whoa.”

This time, I thought and waited as much as I could so as not to be fooled.

But Deshurn didn’t wait.

“The moment you thought about it like that, you would have said you were already dead.”

pop!

“It’s black.”

It felt like my lungs were collapsing.

An excruciating pain spread to his side, and cold sweat broke out.

“Aye. Your talent will be able to show overwhelming power when dealing with the weak. However, if you meet a few high-level guys, you will be able to see through them within five points and you will see something unseen like this.”

Just how high is a little bit high by your standards?

From my point of view, Deshurn definitely seemed like a story assuming an Aura Master.

“Of course, compared to those guys who don’t have that kind of talent, so you’re definitely blessed. So you have to learn how to use it properly.”

“Aww!”

It’s so beaten that it gives up to evil.

I jumped at Deshurn, who was shouting with enthusiasm.

However, after giving the fake as if he rushed in blindly, his head calmly calculated the situation.

‘left! But it must be a trick this time too.’

If so, all directions except the left... ... !

The wave of Salem, who learned how to use it by accelerating mana and using sloth, was loaded onto the sword.

‘If this!’

Fuck!

“Hey. Aren’t you talking?”

I felt like I was floating on air again.

And the last time I heard Deshurn’s words, I lost consciousness and passed out.

* * *

Deshurn laughed at Adrias, who passed out after being beaten from morning to night.

‘Go guy. It’s a thing.’

Judging by his constitution, he seems to be able to use magic, but with such physical talent and combat sense... ... .

The moment when you think you’ve met the right talent for the first time in a while and try to move him home.

“... ... ?”

Deshurn looked at his right arm at the sudden bleak sensation.

Then, it was confirmed that the sleeves of the clothes were cut thin and fluttering in the wind.

“Heh heh. Heh heh heh heh!”

Was it the last number?

Deshurn knew that Adrias swung his sword calmly, even though it seemed like he was recklessly attacking.

It was a story that I knew soon, but it was a story that I was hit.

No matter how much he didn’t use mana and didn’t use his skills, it was surprising enough.

The mere fact that the sword touched him was proof of his talent.

“Did you say you were an academy student? Too bad.”

He was an interesting guy who would have cared about it for years if he had had enough time.

Of course, he had work to do, so it ended with just a wish.

Deshurn, who was heading home carrying the fallen Adrias on his back, looked at the stars in the sky that were almost within reach and remembered the boy he had run into a few months ago while doing errands.

‘Was it Louis? That guy will be entering the academy this year as well. It will be worth seeing if I meet this guy.’

Times are changing.

Deshurn clenched his fists with excitement at the mere thought of becoming the manure of a new era and sprouting.
