Episode 51 Hunting the Hunter (4)
– If it’s a reward of 10,000 swords, there’s nothing wrong with it!
‘that’s right. The color-changing card that came out before is Mangum’s reward.’
-It’s really crazy that they’re giving it away here again. It’s corruption itself.
‘Additional rewards were originally meant to be received by attracting people’s attention.’
In fact, Baek Woo-jin naturally thought that there would be additional compensation.
It would be a shame if there was no additional compensation for causing such a huge incident.
‘I’ll have to get compensation later.’
Baek Woo-jin closed the quest window and looked around. People were still busy spreading information.
“Damn it…”
Park Min-hoo gritted his teeth.
The situation is already beyond your control.
All he can do now is get at least a witness and get out of here.
Once you bring a witness, you will be able to gloss over it later.
“You guys need to come out.”
Park Min-hoo approached the surviving neutral guild members.
“What does that mean!”
“I’m trying to confirm what happened in the dungeon. It won’t take long…”
“Hey.”
Baek Woo-jin interrupted Park Min-hoo and stood in front of the neutral guild.
“What are you doing now?”
“Lucas will take them to see if what happened inside is real.”
At Park Min-hoo’s gesture, the wizards behind him came forward.
“I thought you said it would go away on its own if you showed me the evidence?”
“That and this are different issues. Interfering with Lucas’ event…”
“Shut your mouth.”
Flame descended on Baek Woo-jin’s body.
The swirling black flames made his presence as huge as Mount Tai.
“Lucas’ event? Hindrance? “Try it somewhere.”
The spirit that oppressed everything flowed from Baek Woo-jin’s body. Not only Park Min-hoo, but everyone surrounding this place felt suffocated.
“Try it.”
Baek Woo-jin was imitating the spirit that Baek Cheon-hwa showed him. His eyes were shining like a tiger eye hunting prey.
‘This isn’t a genius, it’s a monster…’
Park Min-hoo felt goosebumps rising all over his body at Baek Woo-jin’s momentum.
With this level of momentum, I thought it wasn’t a lie that he killed Choi Jae-young alone.
“They are protected by the Shingeombaekga. If you ask me to make a copy to verify the authenticity of the recording, I will do as much as I can, but I refuse to do anything more than that. If you’re still dissatisfied, come at me. “I’ll deal with you as much as I want.”
Baek Woo-jin protected the neutral guild members as if they were a wall.
‘As expected, he is someone worth following.’
Moon Joo-young was once again moved by Baek Woo-jin.
Since he was trying to stand up to Lucas in order to protect a neutral guild, I genuinely thought it was a good idea to follow him.
“You’re going to fight Lucas because of the main neutral guild?”
“As I heard, he is completely different from the other white families.”
“A prosecutor like that was born in the Shingeombaek family…”
Because they had seen a video about Choi Jae-young, the people here had a crush on Baek Woo-jin.
In that state, he even showed himself blocking Lucas for the sake of the neutral guild, so it was natural for everyone to feel moved.
“Ugh…”
Park Min-hoo was pressured by the gaze coming from the crowd.
To him, this place was no different from enemy territory.
Even if you won the fight, it was always a loss.
“Then… I’ll take the recording to check.”
Park Min-hoo had the wizard below copy four recorded videos.
“You will regret what happened today.”
“I’ve heard that a lot, but no one has put it into practice. “I wish you could do something for me.”
“Ugh…”
Park Min-hoo looked at Baek Woo-jin’s face as if he would memorize it and then turned around.
“Prosecutor. “What happens to us?”
“Do not worry. The Shingeombaekga will protect you.”
“Thank you!”
“thank you.”
The neutral guild talents were almost bowing to Baek Woo-jin.
“no. “It’s natural.”
Baek Woo-jin felt a bitter taste on his tongue.
The neutral guild members were worried about Lucas’ retaliation because they were weak after being attacked.
If I hadn’t stepped forward, they might have died without anyone knowing.
-Will your father protect them?
‘Do it.’
-Are you sure?
‘I’m doing this because I won. If we win, our children, if we lose, other people’s children, it’s the father’s way.’
Baek Cheon-hwa will protect them because the promising member of the Lucas Guild was revealed to be a human hunter and rescued people to raise the family’s reputation.
-If you lose, it’s so heartbreaking to think that it’s someone else’s child.
**
Baek Woo-jin had Moon Ju-young tell him where the neutral guild members could rest and then entered Gajujeon.
I wasn’t called, but I went there on my own.
“See you, matriarch.”
Baek Woo-jin lifted his bowed head and looked at Baek Cheon-hwa’s expression. He seemed to be in better spirits than ever.
You already know what happened.
“Tell me what happened in the dungeon.”
“After catching Giant Mantis inside, I returned…”
Baek Woo-jin reported everything that happened inside the dungeon.
“How did you come up with the idea to order recording while trapped in a trap?”
“There must have been an easier way to kill us. “Seeing as they were trapping us and trying to kill us slowly, we thought it would definitely come over to watch us suffer.”
“Hmm…”
Baek Chun-hwa was speechless for a moment.
If a normal person were trapped in a wall of flames, they would only think about how to escape.
However, after Baek Woo-jin understood the situation, he instructed the recording magic and thought about the next step.
I was impressed by Baek Woo-jin’s calmness and ability to read the other person’s psychology.
“It was a good decision.”
A satisfied smile spread across Baek Cheon-hwa’s lips.
Baek Woo-jin never disappoints himself, but this time was even more special.
“You came back with more results than I expected.”
There was a reason why Baek Cheon-hwa praised him like this.
Thanks to today’s incident, Lucas’ reputation plummeted to the ground and the reputation of Shingeombaekga rose high.
Baek Woo-jin achieved a rise in his image that could not have been achieved even if he paid billions of dollars with just one dungeon raid.
I couldn’t help but feel good.
-Your father’s smile lasts a long time today?
‘That’s how good it feels. But there’s something even my father doesn’t know.’
-what?
‘It means that my reputation has increased more than the reputation of Shingeombaekga.’
Baek Woo-jin continues to differentiate himself from Shingeombaekga. This work will come to light one day.
“I have a favor to ask.”
“Tell me.”
“I brought in the talented people from the neutral guild who were attacked with me in the dungeon. I would like to apply for protection for them and the guild they belong to.”
“This is evidence that proves Lucas’s idiotic actions, so we should protect it well.”
Baek Cheon-hwa nodded while maintaining a smile.
“What are you going to do now?”
“I plan to rest and practice for a while.”
“good night. “Let’s do that.”
“yes.”
Baek Woo-jin bowed his head and left the family battle.
widely.
When the door to the family hall closed, Baek Cheon-hwa’s smile deepened.
“If only it were a little bigger….”
**
As soon as Baek Woo-jin returned to his room, he received an unexpected reward.
Sigh!
100 cards appeared before my eyes.
Baek Woo-jin snapped his fingers as if he was thinking.
-Just pick something. Because Lady Luck takes care of you. There will never be a crash.
“You saw the rock come out last time.”
-One of my previous owners was a guy named Ark, and weeds came out four times in a row. You can’t complain about the lottery. Ark will rise from the grave.
“Huh…”
Baek Woo-jin shook his head. It was scary to even think about being weeded four times in a row.
“Because there is also a 10,000-gem reward. “It’s okay even if this comes out with a bang.”
When Baek Woo-jin grabbed the fifth card from above, dazzling golden light burst out from within it.
-…I knew it would be like this.
A boot appeared where the card disappeared along with the light.
“Boots?”
-That’s also unique…
“Darkness.”
-I’m tired of talking now.
Contrary to the weak voice, the darkness appraised the boots quickly.
[Laport’s Leather Boots]
These are the leather boots favored by Laport, a thief called Black Cloud. Increases movement speed and attack speed, making faster movement possible.
Grade: Unique.
Wearable conditions: None.
Movement speed increased by 7%
Attack speed increased by 7%
Intelligence +7
Stamina +7
Body +7
This was an option that made people gasp as soon as they saw it.
Movement speed and attack speed increase was 7%.
It meant that Baek Woo-jin’s swords and swords, which were full and fast, became even faster.
If I had these boots, I could have decapitated Mentis before his front paws popped out.
-Look at the options. It’s all 7. The item also says that you are lucky.
“Oh, I see.”
Strangely enough, the ability to increase was all 7.
Looking at that, I really feel like I am a lucky god.
“Anyway, the design isn’t bad.”
Although the boots were a bit long, they were stylish and not out of place, so I didn’t think it would be a problem to wear them.
[Mangeom’s reward is paid]
Mangeom’s reward appeared for the second time. Just like
before
, 10 cards appeared. The cards flashed alternately in three colors.
“As expected, it’s harder to choose 10.”
-Stop being so harsh and just pull it out. Tazza you bastard.
“Tazza….”
Baek Woo-jin shook his head and chose the card on the far left.
Once again, vivid golden light filled the room.
[The door to increase the level of the sword has been opened.]
[Check your proficiency.]
[Please select a sword except the level 2 Black King Bullet.]
“This…”
– It is a reward that increases the level of the sword.
“Was there anything like this?”
-It creates Geomro, so of course there will be an increase in Geomro level.
Baek Woo-jin’s face turned bright red.
Geomro has great power even at level 1, but to raise it to a higher level was an unexpectedly great reward.
-What are you going to post?
“That has been decided.”
-It’s decided?
“It’s been a long time since I’ve learned Muryeongcham before I did Biroe Island, so Muryeongcham will go up to level 2 on its own. “Here, we have to raise Lightning Island.”
Muryeongcham has already accumulated a significant amount of experience, so it will soon be level 2.
It is efficient to raise the level of Lightning Island, which still lacks proficiency.
-Anyway, the hair is working well.
“It’s not a trivial thing, it’s natural.”
Baek Woo-jin selected Lightning Island in the status window.
[The level of Lightning Island increases to level 2.]
[The speed of Lightning Island increases.]
[The range of Lightning Island increases.]
As soon as I saw the newly appeared hologram window, I naturally smiled.
The advantages of Biroe Island are its high speed and long distance, and those two advantages have been further strengthened.
I felt my heart pounding just thinking about how my sword energy was moving faster and farther than it was now.
I wanted to go out and swing my sword right away.
“After eating Ilwoncho, I will go straight to training.
-Leave Ilwoncho alone for now. It also has other uses.
“really?”
-okay. There is a way to eat it like Joo Yang-hwa. Ilwoncho has greater effects when taken with other elixirs.
“okay.”
There seems to be a special way to make it, just like the juyanghwa I ate before. Baek Woo-jin nodded and grabbed the sword.
“Then I have to go training now.”
-Phew, I thought so.
Baek Woo-jin headed towards the training hall while listening to the sound of darkness sighing.
**
Top floor of Lucas Guild Red Tower.
A young man who appeared to be in his 20s was sitting on a golden throne, and Park Min-hoo was kneeling beneath him and bowing his head.
“Are you calling that an excuse now? Is Baek Woo-jin’s momentum strong? “Are you saying you got scared by a 16-year-old and ran away?”
There was a dignity in the young man’s voice that did not match his appearance. This young man was Kim Jeong-woo, the owner of the Red Tower.
“That’s not it, it’s because of the eyes of the people around me….”
“Even if I had to kick out all the bystanders and fight the Baek family, I should have brought those witnesses in to resolve the matter!”
“sorry.”
Park Min-hoo hit his head on the marble floor. A thick layer of blood flowed from his forehead.
“You idiot!”
The target of Kim Jung-woo’s swearing this time was not Park Min-hoo. This is Choi Jae-young, who was his student.
“You couldn’t handle that one guy properly and he died in the worst possible way!”
Kim Jeong-woo knew that Choi Jae-young was committing murders in the dungeon.
I was told to be careful so as not to be caught, but I had no idea that he would die and that the guild would suffer enormous damage if his method became known.
“From now on, monitor his every move.”
“Are you talking about Bae Baek Woo-jin?”
“okay.”
Kim Jeong-woo’s eyes shone a dazzling blue color.
“I lost my honor because of that guy, so I guess I’ll have to get my honor back through that guy.”
**
“Left empty.”
“yes!”
Baek Woo-jin was watching Hong A-ra’s swordsmanship.
Hong Ara has made significant progress in a short period of time.
It was inevitable because Aurors needed time, but their swordsmanship skills were improving day by day.
“good. That’s it for today’s swordsmanship. Now run to the training ground.”
“yes!”
After Hong Ara said hello, she immediately started running around the training ground. I still feel embarrassed, but it’s a huge improvement compared to before.
‘The speed of development is deceptive. If I don’t practice, I’ll catch up.’
-You’re mistaken, but your development speed is faster than that child’s. You are a fraud itself. I really don’t know who is calling who a fraud…
Baek Woo-jin’s basic swordsmanship has now reached maturity.
The moment there is a sword path of stabbing, that guy will reach another level.
‘But there are people below me, so I have to work harder.’
When Baek Woo-jin was about to practice, Moon Ju-young approached him.
“young master.”
Moon Joo-young was smiling brightly, unlike usual.
“I found the spiritist that you asked for.”
“uh?”
Baek Woo-jin made a bewildered expression. It’s been a while since I asked to find out, so I tried to find it myself, but I finally got the answer.
“Who on earth did it take you this long to find?”
“I don’t know your name yet because I just asked a friend to do it.”
“You asked a friend for it?”
Baek Woo-jin tilted his head.
I thought the request was made by an intelligence dealer or a black market, but it was completely unexpected that he was a friend.
I became curious about who the friend Moon Joo-young was talking about was.
“They say they have found the best spiritist. You can believe it.”
Moon Joo-young smiled more confidently than ever.
