Episode 56. Learning elemental arts (5)
Grrrr!
It had an elongated head with two huge horns, and its mouth had blazing teeth the size of a human head.
Sigh!
As the spirit spread its magnificent wings bursting with flames, the fence on both sides burst open.
“Yo dragon? Why the dragon?
Jeong Geun-ho trembled with a distraught expression.
The spirit summoned by Baek Woo-jin had the shape of a dragon burning in flames.
The heat escaping from the dragon’s mouth seemed to block its pores.
“It’s not a real dragon. “That…”
Yoon Woo-min swallowed his dry saliva.
There was astonishment etched in his eyes.
“That’s a flame dragon. “It is the highest level spirit of fire.”
“The highest level? There is no such concept! Besides, I’ve never seen anything like that among fire spirits anywhere!”
Jeong Geun-ho asked back with a face as pale as a sheet of paper.
The level of the spirit is low, intermediate, and upper spirit king.
I had never heard of such a thing as superlative.
“The high-level spirit of fire is Phoenix, but that one is also at the same high level.”
“It’s the same grade, but why is it called the highest grade….”
“It’s because the firepower it has is different. “It is the Flame Dragon that can produce as much firepower as its violent appearance.”
Yoon Woo-min, who explained it, also wondered if this was reality.
It seemed like a dream that Baek Woo-jin summoned the Flame Dragon, whose existence only a very few spiritists knew about.
-You summoned that monster!
A puzzled voice came out from the mouth of darkness.
I had encountered that monster as an enemy when I was with my previous owner.
The Flame Dragon’s powerful firepower is at a level that no spirit can match, except for the Spirit King.
“Flame Dragon.”
Baek Woo-jin had also never heard of a spirit called Flame Dragon.
I took a step forward to get a closer look.
“Woojin! “That spirit is dangerous!”
Yoon Woo-min shouted at Baek Woo-jin.
That spirit has a different disposition from other spirits.
Just because you’ve been summoned doesn’t mean you’ll be given a contract unconditionally.
He had a pride as strong as his mighty power.
“Flame dragons attack their summoners if they don’t like them! “Go away!”
-I have fought with that spirit before. Since he has an uncharacteristically dirty personality, like the old man said, it would be better to wait and see the situation for now.
Even while listening to the warnings of Yoon Woo-min and darkness, Baek Woo-jin walked in front of the Flame Dragon.
Whoa!
Even though it had fire resistance, the dragon’s breath released heat that seemed to cook its skin.
[Crrr…]
The flame dragon’s eyes were burning as if they were going to burn Baek Woo-jin’s eyes.
“Are you trying to see my abilities?”
Baek Woo-jin smiled and activated the flame.
Yeomik, now fully mature, descended on his body and pushed away the Flame Dragon’s flames.
“Then I’ll show you.”
Baek Woo-jin walked one step forward again.
Quaaaaa!
The aurors that were sleeping deep within the dantian were opened.
It was an aura of the power that Baek Woo-jin could produce.
The Flame Dragon’s flames hesitated and sank to the ground due to the overwhelming energy wave that seemed to shatter the sky.
“Huh!”
Jeong Geun-ho chattered his teeth and fell to his knees in response to Baek Woo-jin’s outburst.
I thought I could catch up with Baek Woo-jin someday.
But no.
That thing was a monster. A monster that eats up even the will to fight.
“Was it this much?…”
Yoon Woo-min also felt a chill in his stomach at Baek Woo-jin’s momentum.
Baek Woo-jin’s strength was far beyond what he expected.
It was already ripe and looking upward.
“Is this still not enough?”
Baek Woo-jin took one step closer to the Flame Dragon.
Flame Dragon looked down at Baek Woo-jin, and Baek Woo-jin looked up at Flame Dragon.
Coo coo coo coo.
The two beings were sizing each other up by making eye contact.
In that clash of great power, Baek Woo-jin took one step forward.
[Crrr.]
The Flame Dragon glared at Baek Woo-jin and very slowly lowered his head.
It was an expression of acceptance of Baek Woo-jin as the owner.
“I really like how cocky you are.”
Baek Woo-jin placed his hand on the head of the Flame Dragon, which lowered its head.
Since I had already made up my mind, I didn’t feel any heat at all.
Baek Woo-jin handed over his sensitivity and received the Flame Dragon’s sensitivity.
Chiiing!
The white thread was woven and Baek Woo-jin achieved a contract with Flame Dragon.
In the end, the contract with all four major spirits was successful.
“Whoa….”
Baek Woo-jin put away his aura and looked around.
Nyx, the Earth Turtle that had been summoned at first, was trembling behind him, and Jin was raising his mane as if to keep the Flame Dragon in check.
“Everyone come this way.”
Baek Woo-jin looked at the Earth Turtle Nyx Jin Flame Dragon he had summoned.
Summoning the four major spirits, including the lower, middle, and highest levels, no one would have seen a scene like this.
A smile filled with pride appeared naturally.
“Thank you for coming.”
Baek Woo-jin greeted the spirits and sent them back to the spirit world one by one.
“How could this happen…”
Jeong Geun-ho’s whole body was shaking.
He was finally preparing to summon a middle-level spirit, but Baek Woo-jin went beyond the upper level and summoned a top-level spirit that he did not even know existed.
I was so dumbfounded that my legs lost their strength.
“I always ask, what are you really doing? Summoning a flame dragon and making a contract….”
Yoon Woo-min looked at Baek Woo-jin with eyes of wonder.
No one would believe that a beginner who had just learned how to summon spirits was able to summon mid-level spirits and top-level spirits.
If someone had said something like that to me, I would have been slapped.
-Hey old man. I told you so. This guy is the deepest evil of all evil. You shouldn’t try to understand with common sense. Because it doesn’t give you luck. Now, I’m a crazy person who creates luck.
Darkness muttered in a frightening voice.
Even the system and the god of luck would not have known that he would bully the spirits so that they would not respond to the summons and then extract the middle and high-level spirits.
-He’s like oil that has gone bad due to bad luck!
‘haha!’
Baek Woo-jin chuckled at Dark’s words.
‘I didn’t know it would end up like this either. Really…’
Ding!
As Baek Woo-jin spoke, a new notification appeared.
[You have summoned all four major spirits for the first time.]
[Title ‘Four Attribute Elementalists.’ Obtained.]
[Title ‘Four Attribute Elementalist.’ Resistance to the 4 major attributes increases by 5 points due to the effect.]
[The effect of the title ‘Four Attribute Spiritist’ increases the sensitivity to the 4 major attributes by 5 points.
[The effects of the acquired title are applied multiple times.]
Baek Woo-jin looked at the window that appeared and nodded.
‘I deserved it because I worked hard this time…’
-Can you give it to me again?
Darkness screamed, breaking through Baek Woo-jin’s words.
-You’re giving it to this oil guy again? System Did you really get stabbed in the head?
**
People are mistaken.
As a spiritist, all you have to do is summon a spirit.
This is what people who really know nothing say.
For a spirit master, summoning spirits was just a step, and what he had to learn afterwards was more important.
Baek Woo-jin learned from Yoon Woo-min how to fight with spirits, how to summon spirits quickly, and how to summon them where he wants, and realized that he had come a long way.
There is a lot left to learn from Yoon Woo-min, but now it is time to leave.
“Are you going to go now?”
“I’ll come back later.”
Baek Woo-jin lowered his head with a regretful expression.
Even if I came back later, now was the time to go back.
“Still, I passed the basics. “I feel relieved.”
“There is still a long way to go.”
Baek Woo-jin smiled slightly.
Woomin Yoon generously shared the know-how he gained from actual combat. He was a truly grateful person.
“It’s not because of you. “I did it because I thought there would be an uproar outside if I didn’t teach you properly.”
“Yes, of course.”
“You know, you have to be careful when you take him out. Its flames are powerful, but their range is wide. “Do not summon it unless you can handle it perfectly or are locked away.”
The guy Yoon Woo-min is talking about is, of course, the Flame Dragon.
Through past training, I was able to handle other spirits to a certain extent, but I was unable to control the flame dragon’s firepower or range.
“All right. Do not worry.”
Baek Woo-jin nodded.
“You’re a straight-faced bastard. “I’ll take care of it.”
Yoon Woo-min smiled as if he believed it.
“Thank you so much.”
Baek Woo-jin bowed to Yoon Woo-min.
In his mind, Yoon Woo-min was already his teacher.
“Take care of yourself.”
“Seniors, take care of your health too. “I’ll see you later.”
“Geunho. “Bring Woojin to me and come back.”
“My me?”
“Then is there another Geun-ho besides you?”
“…All right. “Would you like me to carry your luggage?”
Jeong Geun-ho forced a smile and approached Baek Woo-jin.
-That guy is your boss now.
‘My personality has changed, though.’
On the day he summoned the Flame Dragon, Jeong Geun-ho gave up on confronting him.
He realized that he was no match for either force or spirits.
However, perhaps thanks to that feeling of giving up, Jeong Geun-ho was able to summon a mid-level spirit of fire.
“Then let’s go.”
Baek Woo-jin bowed his head deeply and left Yoon Woo-min’s house.
Yoon Woo-min smiled as he watched Baek Woo-jin leave.
“I hope you achieve your goal.”
**
-You should at least bow to Moon Ju-young.
‘I know. I got things I never expected.’
Darkness agreed.
Thanks to Moon Joo-young, I met Yoon Woo-min and Jeong Geun-ho and was able to summon intermediate and advanced spirits and learned how to properly handle spirits.
It was an opportunity greater than any elixir.
“Hmm…”
Baek Woo-jin felt a strange sensation when he arrived downtown where Moon Ju-young was waiting.
– Baek Woo-jin!
Baek Woo-jin grabbed Jeong Geun-ho by the back and ran forward before the dark security guard even rang.
bang!
Something began to explode in succession where Baek Woo-jin was. It seemed like a trap that had been prepared in advance.
Kwaaaaaaaa!
When Baek Woo-jin tried to move to the Association branch in front of him, a huge explosion occurred at the Association branch as well.
Quaaaang!
Quang!
Explosions were occurring not only in the association but throughout the town.
“What is happening!”
Jeong Geun-ho’s eyes, unable to grasp the situation, trembled mercilessly.
-It is the enemy.
‘know.’
Unmanned people with a strong aura appeared next to the collapsed buildings.
Their bodies and fists were covered with silver armor.
‘Ironclad!’
-Ironclad?
‘It’s the Ironclad of the criminal guild Zenon.’
-If it’s Zenon, aren’t they the ones who attacked the craftsman’s island?
‘that’s right.’
When I wondered what was going on, it seemed like Zenon had appeared targeting me.
‘That armor is made of white iron and is effective in blocking the aura contained in the sword.’
-Preparing for inspection.
‘that’s right. Instead, it is vulnerable to magic.’
Zeno’s Ironclad is an armed force created to deal with swordsmen.
Its defenses are strong and its fists are threatening, making it difficult for swordsmen, but conversely, that armor was actually a hindrance to wizards.
[I will deal with you, so you stay still for now.]
Baek Woo-jin sent a message to Jeong Geun-ho and drew his sword.
Sigh!
Baek Woo-jin cut down the iron armor that was attacking him with his sword.
With horizontal and vertical cuts that were connected like a single sword move, the remaining four members of the armored group were taken out in an instant.
“As expected, it doesn’t get cut easily.”
In order to cut down the armor of the Ironclads, more Aurors than usual were needed.
-There are still many enemies left, so conserve your strength. There is a guy with particularly strong momentum.
‘okay.’
These five were literally just exploration.
A huge wave of air was spreading from the collapsed branch building.
“It’s amazing to have one Ironclad member per sword.”
From the rubble of the collapsed branch, a man who appeared to be at least 2 meters tall appeared.
His body was surrounded by black iron armor, and he wore crown-shaped gauntlets on both hands.
Drip.
Hot blood was flowing from his gauntlets.
“Sword Breaker. Seong Si-hoon.”
Seong Si-hoon, like his title, was a warrior who could break a sword.
Due to his brutal nature and powerful force, the number of swordsmen who died at his hands was countless.
“I am honored that a direct descendant of the Baek family and a rising hero recognizes me. But…”
Seong Si-hoon showed his teeth, smiled, and snapped his fingers.
“I’m sorry we met under bad circumstances.”
At Seong Si-hoon’s signal, more than 30 armored personnel carriers appeared nearby.
There were 10 hostages in their hands.
“You guys…”
“Baek Woo-jin, who is famous as a hero, won’t just leave them alone, right? “They were all caught because of you?”
Sung Si-hoon touched the hostage’s cheek as if teasing Baek Woo-jin.
“If you don’t want to see them die, stay where you are.”
When Seong Si-hoon gave a wink, 24 Ironclad members who were not holding hostages surrounded Baek Woo-jin and opened their aurors.
Chiiing!
The aurors of the Ironclads were connected to create a dome-like translucent membrane. It is a wave check that maximizes the power of the Iron Armored Corps.
“Hehehe….”
Inside the inspection team, Seong Si-hoon and 24 other members of the armored team raised their fists and glared at Baek Woo-jin and Jeong Geun-ho.
“Just give it a try. But I don’t know what will happen to those hostages! Hahaha!”
Outside the camp, they were holding hostages, and inside the camp, they created an advantageous situation.
In addition, he set off bombs here and there in the village to delay the intervention of other abilities.
It was the worst situation.
‘I’m so glad.’
Even in this bad situation, Baek Woo-jin breathed a sigh of relief.
If it were me before, I wouldn’t have been able to get out of this situation.
Even if he lived, the hostage would have died.
But it was different now.
We were able to save everyone.
Phew.
Jin, the intermediate spirit spirit of wind, was quietly summoned to the skies of Pageomjin where no one could see.
‘You let your guard down.’
Baek Woo-jin quickly looked at the 10 armored personnel carriers who had taken hostages.
Perhaps because everything went according to plan, the grips holding the hostages slightly opened.
‘jin. now!’
At Baek Woo-jin’s instructions, Jin created a huge gust of wind and sent the armored personnel carrier and hostages outside the Pageomjin into the air.
“Aaaah!”
“What the hell!”
“This is crazy!”
Jin rescued all the hostages that the Ironclads missed in their panic and brought them to his surroundings.
“Earthquake? Intermediate Spirit of Wind?”
“It’s not over yet.”
Baek Woo-jin stretched out his hand to Seong Si-hoon, who was shocked and surprised.
Quaaaaa!
A huge flame surged like a tidal wave from Baek Woo-jin’s fingertips.
The wall of fire that rose to the sky cracked, and heat that seemed to burn the world burst out.
It was the appearance of Flame Dragon, the highest level spirit of fire.
