The Indomitable Martial King Chapter 3

It was no use. No matter what this muscular old man said, he ignored everything. It was a very natural attitude.

When they arrived at the clearing, Gerrard put Reppenhardt down. And without saying a word, they tied him to a huge wooden stake in the middle of an empty lot.

“to? “Huh?”

Reppenhardt, who was tied to a stake with his arms behind his back, kept blinking in confusion. His posture looked very ominous. Usually, when he executes prisoners, doesn’t he make them look like this? Reppenhardt was about to shout urgently.

“Yeonda.”

With one brief word, Gerard put a gag in his mouth.

“Eup?”

Gerard smiled warmly as he looked at Reppenhardt, who was filled with fear with his mouth covered. Then he went to the other side of the clearing and brought back a bunch of large bamboo stalks.

“Okay then, let’s start training!”

Then he grabs a bamboo stick and spits on both hands. Repenhardt’s fear grew even stronger.

“Ugh!”

Gerrard hit Reppenhardt hard in the abdomen with a bamboo stick.

Bah!

“… … !”

It hurt so much that I died. It felt like it hurt several times more because I couldn’t scream. Reppenhardt trembled and looked at the old man in front of him.

‘What the hell is going on!’

I couldn’t understand the situation. And he didn’t even give me time to understand. The beating followed immediately. The bamboo hit my thigh. As expected, it hurt to death. This time I hit him in the side. It hurt so much that I cried. Southern Halaine bamboo is renowned for its combination of the strength of steel and the elasticity of rubber. With that vicious object, Gerrard began beating Reppenhardt’s entire body mercilessly.

Puff puff puff!

“… … Aaaaaaaaaaaap!”

With his gag in his mouth, Reppenhardt kept screaming and screaming. The beatings were truly non-stop and intense, hitting all parts of the body evenly, thoroughly, and harshly. All the thoughts of feeling unfair because it hurt so much or wondering what on earth happened to this situation all flew out of my mind.

‘Si, Siris. I guess I’ll just go on like this… … .’

At that moment, I saw an illusion of Siris beckoning me to come from beyond the blue sky. But Reppenhardt gritted his teeth. It was so vain to think that as soon as she barely got her second life, she was beaten to death. With a sticky attachment to life, he struggled to calm his fading mind.

‘I can’t die! ‘I can never die like this!’

Meanwhile, Gerard was wondering. The way he beat his disciple was a little different. Does it feel a little more chewy than usual? This cannot happen if you are getting hit while doing the unique image training that trains your body as usual.

‘Is it really amnesia?’

It wasn’t that surprising. Originally, Jim Unbreakable’s practice method was so simple, ignorant, and extreme that he often suffered from short-term memory loss. Even when Gerard was receiving training, I experienced memory loss a couple of times.

And as an experienced person, he knew the solution well.

‘If you beat it up, it will all get better.’

The best way to get your memories back is to recreate the experience you had when you lost them. Gerard’s hands became even harsher.

Puk puk puk puk puk puk!

The sound of drums was beating loudly under the clear sky. It was a soulful drum sound that truly touched the heart. It was a natural result since the drum truly contained soul.

‘Say, save people’s lives!’

☆ ☆ ☆

Jim Unbreakable is one with the most unique ideas among all the martial arts on the continent.

Whether you are an ordinary martial artist, a knight, a swordsman, or a martial artist, the basic gist of the training method remains the same. Refining your breathing, training your body, and learning various techniques to increase your overall proficiency as a martial artist. In this process, the methods vary greatly and several schools have emerged, but at least the basic method can be said to be generally similar.

But Jim Unbreakable’s ideology denied that basic principle.

“First, create a perfect body!”

Gerard shouted as he was beaten mercilessly.

“The reason humans take up arms is because they are weak. Because their bodies are weak, they wear armor, and since they have no claws or teeth, they pick up swords, spears, and axes to replace them. “How foolish this is!”

Even as he was hit, Reppenhardt was puzzled. No, why is it foolish for humans to use tools?

Gerrard gave the answer right away.

“It is an escape! It is a petty escape from someone who has not been able to overcome his own weakness! “If you are a warrior, you must train your weak points and overcome them!”

Repenhardt was astonished and opened his mouth. In all my 50 years as a wizard, I felt like I had never encountered such a simple and ignorant way of thinking. Fortunately, the gag was on so it wasn’t noticeable. Gerard continued.

“So, first of all, we must create an unbreakable, perfectly indomitable body.”

Even though his hands were constantly swinging his club, Gerard leisurely explained the ideas of Jim Unbreakable. Since the student suffered from amnesia, he believed that repeating a familiar story would help his memory return more quickly.

Jim Unbreakable, like other schools, refused to combine physical training and technical training. The human lifespan is not long, and the level of nothingness that must be reached is high and high, so how long will it take to reach that level by doing this and that?

“It is said that in everything in the world, the person who digs only one well will ultimately succeed.”

So, first, make the body perfect. And Jim Unbreakable’s argument was that if you practice a skill with that perfect body, your body will be at its peak activation, so you can easily acquire any skill and reduce the time it takes to correct bad habits. And the first step in creating that perfect body was to turn it into steel.

“Humans are like iron. “Both iron and humans become stronger and harder the more they are struck.”

‘Why are humans like iron? ‘You’re seriously flawed from the start, you!’

Reppenhardt screamed, but Gerrard wasn’t particularly wrong. In fact, human bones become stronger the more they break, and muscles also become thicker and more durable the more they are damaged. Of course, there are limits to everything. If it were a normal person, he would be sick and lie in a coffin before then. but… … .

“You are the disciple I chose. Believe it. Your body has no limits! “It can be made of steel!”

Gerard shouted excitedly.

Not all humans can become strong through training like this. Just as only high-quality iron can be forged into steel, only a person supported by the material can transform into a body like steel. And this student possessed the perfect material that Gerard himself had only found after searching the entire continent for 30 years. He was truly a beast, with bones and muscles that easily exceeded human limits.

How happy Gerard was to discover this boy!

“Imagine it. You are an unbreakable evil. “No wind can shake you.”

‘Ah, what nonsense… … .’

“Remember the great sea within you. The sea accepts everything but does not change at all. And it flows on its own, showing ferocious power and covering the world. It is within you. Bring out the sea. Thus, obtain a body that does not change!”

‘Bar, sea… … about… … .’

At first, I was shocked and dumbfounded, but as I got hit so hard, I was so out of my wits that I couldn’t even afford to complain. Reppenhardt unconsciously associated Gerrard’s image with his words. I had no choice because doing so would relieve some of the pain.

After about three hours, with the sun rising above the top of his head, Gerrard’s clubbing ended. With a satisfied smile, Gerrard removed the rope and gag that bound Reppenhardt.

“Then rest. “Don’t get me ready.”

As soon as the rope was released, Reppenhardt fell to the floor. In the past, if he fell like this, he would have suffered a nosebleed, but since his body was still alive after being beaten so hard, he didn’t even get a scratch if he just fell to the ground. I didn’t even feel the pain.

Gerard walked toward the log cabin, leaving Leppenhardt alone. Leppenhardt sighed in relief as he looked at the back with blurry eyes.

‘He’s not dead. Even after being hit like that, he didn’t die!’

So Reppenhardt was grateful and grateful to Tethron who killed him.

‘Thank you for being strong. thank you so much! ‘Ugh!’

Reppenhardt had no idea that he would not have ended up like this if he had not had a body like this in the first place.

Gerard went into the house and took out the items he always used from the storage room. It was a huge bathtub made entirely of marble, large enough to immerse an adult in it. And he filled the bathtub with water.

As expected from a king of his time, he had an exciting method of filling water. Ordinary people would have scooped up water in a bucket and carried it diligently into the bathtub, but for this old muscle monster, there was no need for such a cumbersome process. I just carried the whole bathtub to the pond in the back, soaked it, took it out, and it was fine. After lightly lifting the huge bathtub – which was made entirely of marble! – like a washbasin and draining the water, Gerard poured a whole drum of liquid into it and added all kinds of herbs.

And then he returned to Leffenhardt. Reppenhardt, who was watching Gerard’s actions closely, asked a question filled with fear.

“W-what is it?”

“Well. “Once you hit the metal, it needs to cool down.”

Gerard responded indifferently, holding the back of Reppenhardt’s neck and lifting it. It was again the same old ‘method of a mother cat carrying her cubs’. It seemed like this damn old man only knew how to lift people. Well, I think it would be a horror in its own way if a muscular old man carried his muscular student like he was holding a princess.

“Okay then… … .”

Gerard used Auror while holding the back of his student’s neck. The golden aura surged and soon seeped into Reppenhardt’s tattered body.

“Uh, huh?”

Reppenhardt groaned at the strange feeling. But even in his pain, he felt his body moving at an incredible speed. He knew better because he had seen similar effects with previous magic. The feeling of the body being activated, the regenerative power of the whole body being amplified, and misaligned bones, stretched ligaments, and swollen muscles returning to their original positions.

To put it simply, Gerard was currently healing and massaging his student’s entire body as an Auror. Jim Unbreakable’s unique Auror boasts of being the strongest on the continent in terms of how to use the body, and thus has this effect.

After taking care of Reppenhardt’s body with his aura for a while, Gerard stripped off his disciple’s entire body and placed a large tube in his mouth. Of course, he still doesn’t care about his student’s wishes at all. Reppenhardt was no longer in the mood to rebel, so he obediently bit down on the barrel. Well, I roughly guessed it when I poured water into the bathtub.

‘No, I can just take it off, but why bother…? … .’

But if you think about it, he’s been beaten to the point where he can’t even lift a finger, and he doesn’t even have the energy to take off his clothes. This does not mean that Gerard is doing this because he has a hobby of taking off the clothes of his young boy students.

“Okay then, I’ll see you in an hour.”

Gerrard put Reppenhardt head-first into the bathtub and closed the lid. There was a hole in the lid the size of a pipe, so I was able to breathe somehow. Floating in the water, he looked blankly into the water.

I didn’t realize it at first, but upon closer inspection, I realized that the contents of this were no joke.

‘Oh my god, the healing potion, Gerel candles, and Petals petals…’ … .’

Healing potions can be purchased from any wizard guild for ten silver coins per bottle the size of your fist. Filling a bathtub with that? Of course, it was a lot of water, but considering the amount of healing potion that went into it, it was truly a huge amount. Among her old stories, there is a story about a queen who bathed in milk to beautify her skin, and when the queen saw this, it seemed like she could boast of her frugality to all of her people.

Moreover, the herbs used are also expensive products. Anyway, all the expensive herbs said to be good for recovery were included. As I immerse myself in the water, I feel my wounds healing and my body recovering at an amazing speed. At the same time, I was also keenly aware of how much stronger I had become.

‘It wasn’t a completely unfounded training method… … .’

After training the muscles and bones of the whole body to the point of not dying, the whole body is quickly healed with the power of the Auror and healing mineral water. By doing this, the body regenerates and becomes stronger before bone disease occurs.

‘Well, by doing this, the boy Thesron’s body must have endured until now. In fact, at this level, even a troll would be beaten to death.’

It was worth acknowledging that there were certainly reasonable aspects to it. Of course, I never want to admit it emotionally. No, why on earth do you have to go through this to become stronger? Others can become stronger just by acting normally.

‘Perhaps Tesron has been repeating this practice for several years now?’

I immediately understood the power of Thesron, who was able to withstand his magic so well.

“Whoa… … .”

A deep sigh flowed from beyond the barrel. As the healing mineral water caresses her entire body, her pain gradually becomes lighter. Now I’ve finally come to my senses and have the time to understand the situation.

Floating in the mineral water, Reppenhardt was calmly lost in thought.

‘First of all, it is clear that this is the past… … .’

Considering Tesron’s age, it seems to date back about 30 years. There was also a hypothesis as to why he was reincarnated in Tesron’s body. At the very moment when the space-time return spell was activated, Tethron’s attack pierced through the magic, causing a surge of magical energy. I guess it’s the aftermath.

‘Let’s just stay still. So what happened to me at this time?’

Repenhardt’s brow furrowed deeply.

So, is there a young Leffenhardt in this timeline? Can two identical souls exist in one space and time? According to the common sense of magic, it is impossible.

However, according to magical common sense, it is impossible to distort space and time. By the time Reppenhardt had already gone back in time, even common sense had become unreliable.

‘then… … .’

The brain of the wizard who had looked at the ultimate in the past spun rapidly.

‘I guess I can come up with two hypotheses.’

The first is that this body, which holds the soul of the future Leffenhardt, and the present boy Leffenhardt coexist. And the second… … .

‘Maybe the soul of King Thethron has entered my body right now?’

Leffenhardt was worried. Even at the peak of his magic, he couldn’t say for sure which was more likely. Anyway, both of these things are outside the common sense of magic he has learned.

‘The question is what impact this will have now.’

First, I thought about the case where there was another version of myself.

No one knows what will happen when two identical souls come into contact with each other. The identity of the soul is an immutable law that makes up the world, and in unlucky cases, there is a possibility that one of the two souls will disappear. As a wizard, Reppenhardt knew that he had to keep even the worst case scenario in mind.

However, it will be at least 10 years before the boy Reppenhardt becomes an official wizard. Looking back on the past, the person he is now was at a time when he was just studying and dying in the magic tower of Delphia.

‘At least for the time being… … I don’t think it will affect each other.’

And in the second case. What if Thethron now took over Leffenhardt’s body?

If Tesron had also been reincarnated, he would have memories of the past, and there was a high possibility that he could infer Reppenhardt’s situation from his own situation. If so, he will target himself with a fairly high probability.

‘Well, isn’t this a big problem right now?’

Tethron’s strength comes from his body, but now his body is taken over by Reppenhardt. No matter how much Tethron remembers his former state, he will not be able to return to the throne right away since the body he is based on belongs to the weak young boy Reppenhardt.

‘It will take at least a few years. No, if you see me training here, it may be impossible for the rest of my life.’

Jim Unbreakable’s training method absolutely requires the help of a teacher. This is not a method that can be performed alone.

‘No, if you are at the level of Tesron, you might be able to find a way to practice on your own even in that state.’

As I think about it, my head becomes complicated. Either way, I think we need to confirm before we can come up with a proper way to deal with it.

‘anyway… … for now… … Running away from this hell… … It’s urgent… … .’

Reppenhardt’s thoughts began to fade. As he continued to think, his body became very tired. He fell into a deep sleep without realizing it.
