Chapter 54: 54: End of Cu Chulainn's Mark.
The silver light, more dazzling than the bright moon, slowly disappeared into the sky, but everyone present and all the gods remembered this light, and Kevin's figure at the moment he swung the sword was deeply engraved in their minds.
The silver light engulfed the two warriors who finally appeared, leaving a miraculous mark on the ground, dividing the entire plain!
Cu Chulainn's uncle Fergus was also taken care of. After dodging with difficulty, he was pinned to a tree trunk by Cu Chulainn's shot. Regardless of whether he was dead or alive, he had no ability to fight.
Cu Chulainn also fell to the ground because he had used up all his strength in that blow.
But no one, not even gods, cared about that. Their eyes were all focused on Kevin, who was holding the magic sword high in the air and slowly letting it fall down before finally piercing the ground, standing with the magic sword in his hand.
Kevin is not a big guy. In this era where you can easily find a muscular man, he is too slim. But... at this moment, he is a hero standing tall!
"The man of miracles...?" Beside Maeve, whose eyes were wide open, unable to utter a word and whose face was gradually flushed, the three goddesses of war whispered softly.
Not only them, but also the warriors behind Maeve silently put down their weapons and paid high tribute to the standing warrior!
"..." The blush gradually disappeared. Under the knocking of the goddess Marian, Maeve recovered. She looked at the situation in the field, then at the bright moon above her head, gritted her teeth, and said with great reluctance.
"We will... admit defeat in this challenge!"
The moment the words fell, Scathach, with her long dark purple hair flying under the bright moon and runes written on her hands, appeared behind Kevin almost instantly.
Scathach, wearing a veil and with an expressionless face, hugged Kevin, who had collapsed instantly after hearing Maeve's words... She couldn't care less, even though she was being watched by so many gods!
Kevin looked at those familiar red eyes in the moonlight and tried hard to smile, but he said nothing because he could no longer speak.
The red blood flowing from his body quickly dyed Scathach's clothes red.
It seems like every time I lie in Master's arms, nothing good happens...
After uttering these last words from his drowsy brain, Kevin fainted once again in Scathach's arms.
According to the agreement, Maeve had to wait until early morning before leading the army to continue the march, and the five-day curse was lifted almost at the moment Kevin fainted.
The sleeping warriors of the Kingdom of Ulster woke up.
Even though...the war actually only officially began at this time.
The Kingdom of Ulster will have to resist the siege from three equally powerful countries and countless small countries in the coming period.
But Kevin and Cu Chulainn used their bodies to delay such a large army for five full days and five nights!
It saved a glimmer of hope for the Kingdom of Ulster, which was on the brink of extinction!
From today on, the story of Kevin and Cu Chulainn was sung by the bards who knew about it, and in just a few days, it spread to every corner of the continent of Erin.
In this era, they have undoubtedly become heroes admired by all warriors!
Not only that, in less than three days, more and more countries that had originally remained neutral, brought warriors from their own land, unconditionally participated in the battlefield and came to the Ulster camp.
In just one week, they gathered an 'Anti-Ulster League Army' that was comparable to Maeve's organization!
This is a barbaric era, but also a pure era that praises heroes and warriors!
Everyone in the continent of Erin knew that the two of them had turned... the entire battle situation around!
It's just a pity...
"It's a pity that you can't go to the battlefield. We have come from afar, but we can't fight with you!"
Half a month later, it was the most intense period of fighting between the two armies.
In the Kingdom of Ulster, the two-meter-tall sturdy king from the Kingdom of Lask, Fergal, said with some regret to Kevin, who was sitting on the city wall with his long black braids swaying in the wind.
Kevin, who was sitting on the city wall, glanced at Fergal and couldn't help but laugh. He said, "I never thought that I would have the chance to talk to you like this."
"Yes." Fergal couldn't help laughing and said, "At that time, I was thinking about chopping off your head! But..."
Fergal shook his head, sat down, and looked into the distance with Kevin.
After a long moment, he said, "Are you worried?"
"...I have done everything I can." Kevin replied after a moment of silence.
"Yes, you did it all." Scathach, wearing a veil, came to Kevin with the cut divine fruit in her hand.
"Burning everything in my body, I gave up my body that was created by the divine fruit, and released the true name of the demon sword Vlaglak, 100% of its power!"
Scathach said calmly while feeding the divine fruit into Kevin's mouth: "But it is also because of this that your body has now degenerated to the level of a three-year-old baby.
There is not a trace of magic power in his body, and his body is as thin as paper, which will break if poked!"
Under normal circumstances, it would have been impossible to unleash the attack that day, so Kevin not only gave up all the magic power in his body, but even gave up the body created by the divine fruit!
Kevin's current physical strength is that of a modern person who has grown up normally.
To put it simply, Kevin now... is useless!
"Hmm..." Kevin smiled, obediently accepted Scathach's feeding, looked at her carefully, and said: "Master, are you... angry?"
"Angry?" Scathach glanced at him, "Why should I be angry... Isn't it just one more useless disciple?
Isn't it that the body is now damaged and has become immune to the magic fruit. Even if it is taken again, it can only heal the wounds and cannot gather magic power to improve the body?
Isn't it just about taking care of a useless apprentice?
Isn't it just about taking care of an apprentice who doesn't know how to cherish himself?
Excuse me, what can I be angry about? "
Scathach's tone remained flat throughout this speech, but Kevin was sweating profusely, and Fergal turned around and ran without hesitation.
"Ha…haha…" Staring at Fergal who ran away disloyal, Kevin looked at Scathach with a smile and tried to defend himself: "Father…Didn't father say that I am not completely without a chance of recovery?
Just go to the Aesir and find..."
Before he finished speaking, Kevin's eyes suddenly changed. Under Scathach's stunned gaze, his originally ordinary black eyes suddenly became as dazzling as stars, attracting attention!
"Cú Chulainn, son of light, the record and imprint are complete.
Template generation in progress... Template generation completed."
Then, a voice that only Kevin could hear sounded in his mind. Kevin was stunned for a while, as if he was receiving some information. After a while, he slowly stood up from the ground.
Coming to the city wall, he gazed at the battlefield in the distance, and the laughing face gradually disappeared.
"What's wrong?" Scathach frowned as she watched this scene.
"...dead."
"Ah?" Scathach was stunned.
"Cuchulainn..." Kevin said calmly, "He died just now."
"Die..." Scathach reacted, her eyes gradually widened, and then... said nothing.
She knew that Kevin would not say anything nonsense, and she also guessed that it might be related to the eyes that suddenly appeared just now.
"Master, can you take me there?" After a moment of silence, Kevin whispered to Scathach.
Scathach looked at him, and when their eyes met, Kevin smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry, Master. Although I am a little sad, I am not unable to let it go. I just want to see him off... and my father is probably there too."
Before the silent Scathach could reply, a soft light suddenly surrounded the two of them. After they subconsciously closed their eyes and opened them again, they came to a clear river.
Below, there was a man, a blue-haired boy who walked to the river on foot, leaving blood all over the road, but in the end, he stood upright with a magic spear in his hand.
His expression was calm and his eyes were closed.
Kevin stared at the scene in a daze until a hand pressed down on his shoulder. Kevin tilted his head and saw a man with blue hair and a somewhat similar appearance to that boy... Luger, the god of light and the sun.
"...Father."
Kevin's voice was clear, without any hoarseness.
"Is he gone?"
"Um."
"Where are the enemies who killed him?" Kevin asked softly.
"All dead." Ruger replied with a slightly trembling voice.
"All dead?" Kevin was stunned.
"Yes." Luger said, looking at Kevin, "Even if he fell into someone else's trap, first he ate dog meat, and then lost his weapon.
But in the end, he still managed to take back his weapon with a will that no one could imagine, and killed all the enemies that surrounded him, leaving no one alive!"
When saying this, Ruger was extremely proud!
Kevin… was silent.
"What the hell is this?" After a moment, Kevin couldn't help but complain, "Didn't you agree that I should go and kill him?!"
Yes, that was why Cu Chulainn killed them all in the end.
Listening to Kevin's complaints, Luger and Scathach didn't say anything, they just looked at him quietly.
Kevin noticed the two people's gazes, and smiled faintly: "Father, Master, you don't have to look at me like that, I really don't mind... You know, I actually hate listening to tragic stories and I like comedies."
Kevin said, looking at Cu Chulainn in the distance: "So when I knew he was Cu Chulainn, the great hero of the Son of Light, my first thought was to save him, because he saved me!
But... I said it when I was ten years old, my efforts were just because I didn't want anyone to help him when he needed it. "
Kevin's eyes were pure, without any impurities: "That's because in my time with him, I understood that the so-called untimely death was not a tragedy for him.
Perhaps in the eyes of others, it was too much of a pity for him to die like this, but that was not the case.
Because this is the path he chose."
Kevin tilted his head and looked at Ruger: "If he wanted to, there are actually many ways to avoid death, because his father is you, my beloved father.
But he didn't, he accepted his fate with a smile, went to the battlefield with a big laugh, and in the end... left without any regrets. "
"If there is anything he regrets," Kevin said, looking at Cu Chulainn not far away, he smiled, "It should be that he hasn't fought enough, and he still wants to fight with more and more heroes in an endless battle!"
After Kevin finished speaking, Ruger put his hand on Kevin's head and rubbed it hard twice. Scathach on the side also breathed a sigh of relief.
"But I think it's time for me to go, Father."
Then the next sentence made Scathach and Luger stunned.
"Leave?" Ruger looked at Kevin in confusion and asked, "Where to?!"
"Didn't you tell me, father?" Kevin said softly, "There is a demon wolf among the Aesir, a demon wolf that can shake the earth!
Its name - Fenrir!
Its blood can change my entire body and create a new body for me!
I think... I should go over there."
Looking at Ruger who had fallen into silence, Kevin continued, "Didn't you say that you had already informed your friend, the God of Light of the Aesir, that he would welcome me over?"
"...Yes, I told her everything about you, and she welcomes you to come over." After a moment of silence, Ruger looked at Kevin in front of him and said with some sadness: "But...do you have to leave now?"
"Father..." Kevin hesitated for a long time, finally lowered his head and whispered, "I don't want to go back... Although I can accept it and understand it, but... I don't want to go back."
Hearing this, Ruger trembled slightly and fell silent.
"Let him go." At this time, Scathach spoke. She looked at Kevin quietly, smiled and said, "I know what you are worried about, but he is a miracle man, the child of the God of Light and the Sun, and the most dazzling hero in the entire Eileen continent!
He can't and won't grow up under your gaze forever, because he has chosen the same path as Cu Chulainn!
The only difference is that we don't know his future path."
"...Yeah." Then, Luger smiled, "I forgot...kid, when are you leaving."
In silence, Kevin glanced at Scathach, then made up his mind: "Now."
"Now?" Hearing this, Ruger's eyes flashed with reluctance, but he didn't say anything. He waved his hand gently, and a beam of light appeared in front of Kevin.
After thinking for a moment, he whistled softly, and the beautiful bird that everyone was familiar with appeared from the sky and landed on his shoulder.
Ruger touched its head, nodded at it, and handed it to Kevin.
"Let it stay with you."
Kevin looked at the little bird that flew skillfully to his shoulder, rubbed his cheek and tried to please him. He couldn't help but smile and nodded to Ruger.
"Father, Master, I have figured out the function of my magic eye." Kevin said, looking at the two people who were slightly stunned: "It is a recording magic eye. It records the life of the chosen one. After the recording is finished, everything the recorded person has learned during his lifetime will become my property!"
Both of them were Kevin's most trusted people, so Kevin said without hiding anything: "In other words, everything that Cu Chulainn has learned in his life has just become mine... Well, there is some overlap."
"Are you in control of your magic eye?" Upon hearing this, Ruge, who had come back to his senses from surprise, couldn't help but ask.
Kevin shook his head, somewhat helplessly: "It seems impossible…If it were under my control, it wouldn't be so troublesome.
But because of it, I feel like my future... won't be so boring."
Kevin said this with a cool smile.
He turned around, with a beautiful little bird on his shoulder, and was about to leave. As if he suddenly thought of something, he turned his head to look at Scathach who was looking at him silently, and hesitated.
"Master, I will come back." Kevin said in an extremely sure tone, "I will definitely come back! Because although Cu Chulainn has dealt with the mortals who surrounded him, I understand that there is no god behind it, it's impossible!
Therefore, I will become strong, and will come back when I am strong enough to take revenge!
And...Scathach, I like you!"
"...Huh?" Scathach blinked.
Kevin raised his right hand, smiled and gave Scathach a middle finger, saying: "Maybe it's not the kind of love that comes from love, maybe it's dependence, ignorance or something like that, but in short, I like you!
Scathach, I remember every time you hit me. I am a very stingy person!
Just wait, when I become stronger, stronger than you, I will push you onto the bed!
And I'm going to spank you! I'm going to spank you as many times as you spank me!
So...bye!"
With his middle finger raised, Kevin said what he had always wanted to say, then turned around and ran into the beam of light as if escaping under Ruger's dumbfounded gaze.
"Hmm..." Ruger looked at Kevin's departing back, then looked at Scathach beside him and coughed dryly: "Do you need me to bring him back?"
"...No need, I'll beat him up when he comes back." After saying that, Scathach turned and left.
"What if he is really stronger than you at that time?"
"I'll talk if you win."
"Oh...yeah, daughter-in-law!"
In the moment when Scathach's body stiffened slightly and she suddenly turned her head to look, Ruger had already disappeared in this world.
