Subscriber of the Gods Episode 14
Episode 14. Yeerika
Ethan was breathing heavily.
If I had been even a little bit late or early, I would never have won.
‘If it weren’t for the false acupuncture. If I hadn’t realized the hero’s breath while dealing with the Goblin Rider King.’
Then he would have died. He would have most likely died without being able to do anything.
‘But I’m alive.’
Ethan took a sharp breath.
The red dot seen on the Beast King was very small. When he stabbed that small dot, the hero’s breath supported his stamina.
Subtle movements were added to it with acupuncture.
-The hero’s breathing proficiency increases significantly!
-Your proficiency in acupuncture will increase significantly!
As if to prove that, the proficiency of both skills increased significantly.
“Ugh. Ugh. I’m sorry, Your Majesty.”
“No. It’s amazing that you were able to hold on, Shudlen.”
Shudlen, sweating profusely and breathing heavily, tried to maintain a proper posture. His eyes were filled with anger.
Anger at herself for watching without doing anything while her young master was in danger.
Ethan looked at Schudlen and smiled inwardly.
‘This will either break him or make him stronger. I think Shudlen will find this a very good experience.’
And it will become much stronger than it is now.
Then, it will be possible to fit it into your plan.
‘It turned out better than I thought.’
Ethan checked the rewards he received right away.
It was certainly a great achievement.
The level difference between the Beast King and Ethan was so great that it was difficult to overcome.
In that situation, we achieved a perfect victory.
[Perfect Hunt]
You’ve hunted a monster with a huge level difference without getting hit once. You have natural hunting talent!
First of all, it was a perfect hunt, which was an achievement. As the description said, it was a challenge that could be obtained by clearing monsters with a different level from you without getting hit even once.
‘You can only get it if the level difference is at least 50.’
Of course, it goes without saying that the reward for catching a relatively high level monster is greater.
Because it is that difficult.
But that’s only to a certain extent, it’s a different story once you reach level 50.
Plus, it’s a challenge since you caught it without getting hit once.
‘From acupuncture to techniques learned from Hercules. People would definitely like this if I posted it in the subscription review.’
Ethan felt quite grateful to these two gods.
‘I did write a review for Heo Jun. I’m going to watch the videos after that anyway.’
Since you’re already a subscriber to both gods, I’m sure they’d appreciate it if you wrote a review.
‘I could give you something more. The techniques I’m learning were originally used by those gods. I’ll give you some more tips.’
Ethan then checked the reward.
“hmm!”
The reward was one item.
[Beast King’s Claw Sword][Grade S]
A sword used by the Beast King. One of the weapons made from his powerful claws.
It boasts a beautiful sword blade made by an excellent blacksmith.
[Special Skill] Fear: You can use the fear emitted by beasts.
‘That’s a good thing. You said there would be additional compensation. I didn’t expect you to give me this.’
The Beast King’s Claw Sword was a useful weapon in many ways.
‘Because he was the type of guy who used his own claws to make swords in the first place.’
The Beast King’s Claw Sword can be seen as a weapon with a fairly good cost-effectiveness.
‘If it’s an S-grade claw sword, it’s said to be much better than other claw swords.’
Ethan put the claw sword he had obtained into his subspace pocket.
Then he approached Yeerika, who was kneeling on the ground and unable to move properly.
“We finally met.”
Yeerika extended her hand and glared at Ethan with a wary look.
Although she was completely exhausted, she still had the strength to cast magic.
“Don’t come any closer. First of all, thank you for helping me, but who are you that came to see me?”
That was something Schudlen was curious about too.
Who is the person Ethan is looking for that he was attacked by such a strong man?
“It doesn’t really matter who you are. What matters is what you have.”
Ethan held out his hand.
“I need your abilities, Jeremy von Heid.”
* * *
Yeerika couldn’t remember ever having a good time trusting someone.
Most people would come to you kindly and try to take everything from you, betraying your trust and causing you great hurt.
Because for her, trusting someone was tantamount to sending herself into the pit of hell.
So she decided not to trust anyone.
It was better, since there was no need to trust anyone for one’s own purposes anyway.
It was a hand extended in such a situation.
A great number of people appeared to overlap in that hand.
They did the same. They held out their hands and said many things. But in the end, they were all the same, and the man in front of me was likely to be the same.
“You need my skills?”
The question was whether you had also come to get my magic book.
Ethan smiled sickly and said to her, who was talking nonsense.
“Yes, my name is Ethan Wickers. Let’s cut the small talk and get to the point. I need your skills, Yeerika.”
Ethan said.
“As you can see, I am sickly. Do you see this complexion? The bags under my eyes are like I haven’t slept in about ten days. But actually, I slept well yesterday. And yet I look like this. Even though I am weak, I am very weak.”
Ethan’s words were credible.
It was because Ethan’s complexion was really not very good. He looked like the prince of a sickly noble family, which suited him quite well.
But what does that have to do with needing yourself?
“No matter where I go, I can’t wander around freely. With this body, I don’t know when I’ll die.”
Wandering around was a fairly normal thing, but for the current Ethan, even such a normal thing was dangerous.
“so…….”
Now it looks like we’re getting to the main point.
Yereka raised her senses to the max.
If the topic of magic books came up here, I would immediately use magic and run away.
“I need an escort.”
“yes?”
Yeorika, who was preparing her magic, was momentarily flustered.
Why the sudden escort? Didn’t you come to get the magic book?
She asked, her guard slightly lowering.
“Aren’t you here to get my magic book?”
“What can I do with learning that? As you can see, I’m a prosecutor. And I can’t do anything with magic. I don’t have enough mana.”
Ethan shook his head.
Rather, Yeorika was taken aback by the sincere expression on his face.
I thought you came to get the magic book. It turns out you came because you wanted to make me your bodyguard.
This was the first time in my life that such a proposal had been made.
“So, you came to me because you wanted me to be your escort?”
“Yeah. I was a bit surprised because there was a Beast King in front of me. But I definitely took care of it.
“You are skilled enough to kill the Beast King, but you need a bodyguard?”
This was said to Ethan, and Shudlen, who was behind him, made an embarrassed expression.
Ethan smiled bitterly.
“My health isn’t that good. I guess I was lucky in defeating the Beast King. If I had gotten hit properly, I would have died right away.”
“You were lucky? If you could defeat the Beast King by luck, why would the world give him such a nickname? They would have just called him an ogre. A somewhat human-like ogre. Or maybe it was the other way around.”
Yeorika responded as if she found it ridiculous.
He’s not an opponent you can defeat by just saying you were lucky.
But Ethan simply shrugged his shoulders at those words.
Ethan’s appearance certainly looked sickly.
I felt like I was going to collapse at any moment, but I also felt like it wouldn’t be strange if I did.
“Then why me?”
“If you’re going to be an escort, you have to be at least a great wizard.”
“I can’t use proper magic right now. I think you all know that. The reason I couldn’t even fight back properly when the Beast King tried to kill me like that was because I couldn’t use proper magic.”
Yeorika continued to display strong vigilance.
Currently, she is unable to use magic properly as she said.
You recruited someone like that and used him as a bodyguard?
No matter how much I thought about it, it didn’t make sense. No matter how much I thought about it, my current self wasn’t worth recruiting.
That’s why I thought he was just trying to convince me to take away my grandfather’s magic.
But the other person answered her worries without a moment’s hesitation.
“I’ll solve it.”
“yes?”
“The reason you can’t use magic. I’ll remove the gold from your body. Then I can use you as a bodyguard.”
* * *
It’s unpredictable.
His words were all unexpected.
He said he would remove the gold that was hanging over him, that he was sick, and that he wanted to make him his bodyguard.
These were words I had never heard before.
I’ve heard people say they’ll do away with the gold standard several times, but no one has ever actually done it.
It’s just a trick to steal the magic book from you.
But this time something was different.
“I can get rid of it. I came here to hire you as my escort, so do you think I didn’t think about that? If I can’t get rid of your gold in the first place, I can’t use you as my escort. Right?”
“Well, that’s true. I can use magic, but I’m not a proper wizard. But how?”
“There are ways. Just give me an answer. Whether you will be my escort or not.”
Ethan smiled brightly at those words.
She felt momentarily seduced by his confident tone.
But he quickly shook his head.
I tried really hard but couldn’t get rid of it. But this guy who I don’t even know where he came from can get rid of it.
And the man looked like a prosecutor, not a wizard.
I wanted to ask again, beyond whether it is possible or impossible.
I still couldn’t trust him.
“Why do you want to use me as your escort? And why do you want to wander around?”
So I had no choice but to come back to the beginning and ask why.
Because inside her, the person named Ethan was simply beyond discussion.
Since he could neither understand nor measure him in his own thoughts, the only way was to ask.
He answered clearly this time too.
“I need someone on my side. I need someone who can protect me from those who threaten me. But I can’t find someone strong right now, so the solution is simple. I need someone who will become stronger in the future as my bodyguard.”
Ethan pointed at her.
The granddaughter of the golden-haired great wizard.
There are enough elements to become stronger.
“And why do you wander around? I’ll answer that too.”
Ethan’s eyes lit up brightly.
“Because I want to live. If I stay still, I will die. I am looking for a way to live now.”
At those words, she could not help but remain silent.
You can’t completely trust him based on a single word or action.
But I could trust that one thing he said: he wanted to live. I could feel the strong desire for life in his eyes.
“As you may know, this is Jericho von Heid.”
“Let me introduce myself again. I’m Ethan Wickers.”
When Ethan reached out his hand, she took it.
Tiring-!
At that moment, an alarm sounded in Ethan’s ears.
-Your chances of survival have increased!
