Subscriber of the Gods Chapter 332 - The Savior

Clang-!

Oz was swinging his sword, pushing the Lazarus swordsmanship he had learned and mastered to its limits.

‘Everything changed after he clapped.’

From the atmosphere to the aura, everything was different.

‘This isn’t the spirit a young swordsman of that age should show!’

The true apostle was certain. This guy had talent.

A God-given, innate talent.

With each clash of swords, the force transmitted to his hands grew stronger.

At the same time, whenever the slightest opening appeared, it was accurately exploited.

When he intentionally created an opening, it was used against him in reverse. Sometimes, it seemed like he would thrust in boldly, but other times he would swing his sword to match that intention and then suddenly pull back.

He controlled the flow of the battle. And if he didn’t like how things were going, he would unhesitatingly disrupt the flow.

Despite probably never having killed a person before, he was accurately targeting vital points.

The more their swords crossed, the more the true apostle coveted this Lazarus bloodline.

If he could take this one back with him, he could rise to the position of apostle much faster than the other true apostles.

He had heard that there was a vacancy in the apostle position.

If he could bring back this talented young man.

He could definitely become an apostle.

Clang-!

“Indeed, you should come to paradise. Our society needs talented individuals like you. Accept my offer. If you accept, I’ll spare your life.”

But Oz couldn’t hear anything.

There was only one thought occupying his mind.

Cutting.

Cutting down the massive mountain blocking his path.

That was all.

Swish-!

Clang-! Clang-!

The Lazarus swordsmanship had completely found its rhythm.

The Followers of the Moon watching the fight between the two looked at the true apostle restlessly.

Now was not the time to be enjoying the fight. They needed to quickly deal with the opponent and process the escaped students to obtain their souls.

Their mission was not to scout talent, but to turn them into souls and absorb them.

But the true apostle made a gesture that only they knew to the followers.

It meant not to interfere.

Since that was the true apostle’s will, the followers could only wait.

Clang-!

“Are you going to keep charging until the end? You have no chance of winning. I’m giving you an opportunity right now. An opportunity to go to paradise!”

But Oz was still focused on his sword.

Clang-!

A powerful strike was unleashed.

The true apostle who was trying to deflect the attack slightly frowned.

Until now, he had been holding back in various ways as he didn’t want to kill Oz.

But that attack just now was much heavier than the previous ones.

He tried to reduce its power and deflect it, but it didn’t go as he wanted.

“……”

With this level of power, it was no longer possible to deflect.

Until just now, he had been able to block without injuring Oz, but now he could no longer hold back.

The more he received the sword attacks, the fiercer and faster they became.

The power, speed, and unique sword path.

“Ugh!”

In the end, a wound appeared on the true apostle’s cheek.

He was growing stronger with each sword swing.

For a moment, the true apostle felt a chill down his spine.

But soon after, he gritted his teeth.

It was humiliating to feel fear towards a mere young academy student.

“Don’t touch him. I’ll handle this.”

The true apostle took one step forward at a time, but he was still deliberating.

He regretted that talent.

It could be a sure stepping stone to make him an apostle.

But if it was a talent that couldn’t be used for the society, it would be better to thoroughly crush it.

Shaaaa-.

“Consider it an honor.”

The true apostle raised his full power.

The blue sword burned intensely, and heat spread around.

Seeing that, Oz adjusted his stance and exuded mana from his entire body.

“…!”

Something changed again. The true apostle was unconsciously surprised by Oz’s aura.

“You…!”

That powerful aura Oz was emitting. It was an aura that couldn’t be shown at his current age, no matter how fast his growth was.

Oz had already made up his mind.

The secret sword technique of the Lazarus family. Its final stage.

To draw out that power to its limit at the cost of one’s life and definitely cut down the opponent.

He didn’t care if he died as a result.

Shaaaaa-!

“This madman…!”

Oz was burning everything.

But Oz wasn’t actually looking at the true apostle.

He was in front of a mountain.

A huge mountain and a small human.

Swinging an even smaller sword.

His whole body was hot, but he didn’t care.

Great power is needed to cut a mountain.

It’s natural to be hot since he had been confining that power inside his body until now.

-That’s exciting.

Grandfather is not a liar.

-You’ll be able to do it. Splitting mountains and seas, our Oz will be able to do it.

So he will do it.

Cut the mountain.

Cut the mountain.

Cut… the mountain.

“Huff… Huff…”

When he came to his senses, he saw the fallen true apostle in front of him.

Oz, who had emerged from the dive, saw his own bloodied appearance.

The true apostle was strong. Even though he had unleashed the final form of the Lazarus swordsmanship at the cost of his life, he ended up in this state.

“I did it.”

But he did it. He cut down the mountain.

Oz turned his head to look at the Followers of the Moon who had frozen in place.

The Followers of the Moon were about to pounce on Oz as soon as the true apostle fell.

But they couldn’t.

The spirit-like fighting spirit that Oz was emitting.

Even though he looked like he would collapse if lightly touched, for some reason they couldn’t easily approach.

“Look… Look. I told you I could do it, right? I told you I could cut it.”

Oz looked up at the sky and smiled.

He kept his promise. As he had told his grandfather, he became a swordsman who could cut mountains.

But he couldn’t move anymore. He could barely stand.

One arm that no longer moved due to being cut by the true apostle, legs that had stiffened and lost strength.

It was natural after cutting a great mountain.

“Now… it doesn’t matter.”

This was Oz’s only goal. He just wanted to show it to his grandfather in heaven. He just didn’t want to make his grandfather a liar.

Now that he had achieved that, Oz had no more goals.

Swoosh-.

As Oz was about to fall forward, he held onto his sword and endured.

He could have just fallen, but he was trying to buy a little more time.

He had no more attachment to life, but he hoped that those who had escaped could go a little further.

“First, move the true apostle! He should still be alive! And… don’t try to persuade that guy anymore. Kill him!”

“Yes!”

The Followers of the Moon moved fiercely. Oz stood still and waited.

In that moment as he closed his eyes and waited slowly.

Slash!

He heard the sound of being cut by a sword. But it didn’t hurt.

“Open your eyes, Oz.”

“T-Teacher…?”

Oz looked at Ethan with a surprised expression.

Behind Ethan were the students that Oz had risked his life to help escape.

“Senior Oz…!”

“Senior… sob sob.”

“You’re in quite a state, Oz.”

Oz, who had let go of his tension, collapsed right there. At the same time, blood flowed from all over his body.

Oz, who had suffered numerous injuries, was already in a state of excessive bleeding.

In the midst of this, as the tension was released and his muscles relaxed, even more blood flowed from the open wounds.

Drip drip drip-.

As blood flowed enough to pool on the ground, the lower grade students were shocked and sat down on the spot.

It was too late.

“Tea… cher, I… cut it. I cut the mountain. Your help was great. With that dive you taught me……”

“Shut up, Oz.”

Magic book Dongui Bogam.

Ethan had no intention of letting Oz die like this.

“It’s… already too late, tea… cher. Rather, I feel relieved.”

“Who said you could die comfortably?”

Ethan smiled at Oz.

“You’re not going to die, Oz. We need you for the inter-academy exchange. And I told you, right? Even if a student taking my class dies, they need my permission to die.”

Ethan said.

“I haven’t given you permission to die yet. You can’t die until I allow it.”

Ethan took out various ingredients from his pocket and made a decoction. He had to stop the bleeding somehow first.

Yuri and the students, who were watching Oz with faces that looked like they were about to cry, turned their heads and focused on Ethan.

“…Teacher.”

His face was clean, but his hair was a mess with dirt and dust.

His clothes were torn here and there, and there were lots of dried bloodstains.

Surely Teacher Ethan had also been fighting.

If he was pushed to this extent despite being highly regarded even within the academy, the opponent must have been incredibly strong.

To try to save the students first when he himself was not in good shape.

Seeing this, neither Yuri nor the lower grade students whimpered anymore.

‘Damn it.’

Although he was pretending to be calm, Ethan was in quite a difficult situation.

Oz’s condition was more serious than he thought.

‘How is he even alive.’

It was always what Ethan had heard. Oz was exactly in that state.

Ethan first inserted needles into Oz’s body and fed him the completed decoction.

And at the same time, he used Hua Tuo’s Abdominal Surgery.

‘There’s quite a lot of yin energy left in the body.’

The yin energy inside was eating away at Oz’s body in real time. Ethan extracted all that yin energy.

‘Oh no.’

But for a moment, due to Oz’s body twitching, he couldn’t properly finish Hua Tuo’s Abdominal Surgery.

‘The needles were holding it in place.’

Ethan took a deep breath.

‘I can’t treat him as I am now.’

Ethan suddenly thought of New World.

Didn’t he have numerous likes obtained after dealing with the 3 apostles?

In addition to that, one thing suddenly came to mind.

‘When I checked Princess Baridegi’s collaboration video. It clearly said that a new video of Heo Jun had been uploaded.’

Just before, Heo Jun’s collaboration video was with Yi Je-ma, who founded Sasang constitutional medicine.

The fact that a new video was uploaded surely meant that he had collaborated with someone remarkable in the medical field.

Ethan, who entered New World, immediately went to Heo Jun’s channel.

Collaboration with Heo Im, the master of acupuncture. An acupuncturist superior to this physician

The only physician that Heo Jun acknowledged as having superior acupuncture skills to himself.

“Heo Im.”

Ethan clicked on the collaboration video without hesitation.

-Subscribers, my Heo’s Acupuncture is a technique that encompasses all the knowledge I possess, but in the current acupuncture world, there is someone with even more excellent acupuncture skills than mine. Today, through collaboration with that physician, I intend to pass on his abilities.

Soon, a middle-aged man with a dignified appearance stood next to Heo Jun.

-I am Heo Im, dear subscribers. Lord Heo Jun has gilded my face, but my acupuncture skills are certainly not superior to Lord Heo Jun’s. I just have a little talent in acupuncture.

To those words, Heo Jun shook his head.

-Modesty is not the only virtue here.

Then, with a pleased expression, he gestured to Heo Im.

It was a gesture as if saying it’s your turn now, so do as you please.

-Ahem, then I’ll start talking in earnest. The subscribers watching this collaboration video would have seen Heo Jun’s acupuncture videos, so I’ll skip the basics and explain what differences my acupuncture has.

Ethan used the skip function. As Heo Im said, Ethan had already mastered Heo Jun’s Heo’s Acupuncture and even developed it into True Heo’s Acupuncture.

So it was fine to just see the most crucial information that could be passed on from Heo Im.

-I am of humble birth, but I became a royal physician in charge of treatment by the king’s side. I rose to that position with just this needle.

Heo Im, who had shown modesty at first, revealed his spirit as he started teaching acupuncture in earnest.

-Let me exaggerate a bit. If you properly learn and use my acupuncture technique, you can grab the hair of a patient who has gone to the threshold of the afterlife and bring them back to life.
