Episode 73 The other way
: “Stop being a damn thing!”
Kim Bo-hyeon, a prosecutor with a scar on his cheek, swung his fist at Hong A-ra.
Hong A-ra easily dodged the punch and then appeared behind Kim Bo-hyun.
“Wow!”
Hong A-ra hit the back of Kim Bo-hyun’s head with her elbow, pinning him to the ground.
-It’s a scene I’ve seen a lot.
‘Are you going to stab me in the back?’
-You were considerate of the child. I guess he’s your disciple. They even imitate strange things.
‘How refreshing it is to get hit in the back of the head. Now Ara will be addicted too.’
Baek Woo-jin looked at Hong A-ra with a proud expression.
“How dare you!”
“Damn bitch!”
Kim Bo-hyeon and his colleague Park Ji-han stood up and drew their swords.
It was scary to see the two prosecutors bleeding from their mouths, but Hong A-ra’s cold expression did not change.
“I’ll tear you to death!”
“I’m so damn tired. “I didn’t intend to send you off kindly either!”
“shut up!”
The swordsmen swung their swords at the same time.
It was a sophisticated attack, perhaps because he had honed his passing skills, but Hong A-ra stepped on his footwork and blocked the sword.
“You rat!”
“Are you just going to shut your mouth and run away?”
Hong Ara constantly moved and observed the swords of the two swordsmen.
At first, it felt like she could barely avoid or block, but her movements gradually became more relaxed.
-The property of delayed vision has been activated.
‘okay. I understand all of their sword techniques.’
Hong A-ra was using the combat characteristics of the fighting spirit to understand and absorb the swordsmanship of the two swordsmen.
“What the hell is this!”
“How could this happen…”
Kim Bo-hyun and Park Ji-han’s faces turned pale.
All attacks had no effect on that damn woman.
It felt like they were dealing with a prosecutor much higher than themselves.
“Did your idiot teacher teach you to just run away? “Go for it!”
Hong A-ra’s eyes turned red again at Kim Bo-hyun’s provocation.
“You bastards who don’t deserve oxygen!”
Hong Ara rushed towards the two prosecutors.
“I got caught!”
“die!”
The two prosecutors thought Hong A-ra was excited and attempted a final attack.
A swirling aura flowed from their swords.
Chiiing!
Hong A-ra stabbed her sword at the point where the swords of the two prosecutors intersected.
Quang!
The swords of the two swordsmen broke in half as they drank heavily.
“Ah…”
“That’s ridiculous!”
“What doesn’t make sense is your face.”
Hong A-ra went behind Kim Bo-hyeon, who was scared, and hit him on the back of the head with the sword.
“Kkeok…”
Because the aura was contained, the back of Kim Bo-hyun’s head was broken and blood was flowing out.
“Ugh! “Wow!”
Park Ji-han ran away without looking back, but Hong A-ra followed him and grabbed the back of his head.
“Huh…”
Hong Ara leaned the unconscious prosecutors against a tree with blood on their heads.
An ordinary person would die, but since they are swordsmen with Aurors, it will not take long for them to wake up.
“Don’t do this next time.”
Hong A-ra must have finally come to her senses and did not curse or speak informally.
“But it feels refreshing to get stabbed in the back.”
Hong Ara laughed and moved towards where the monster was.
-Aren’t you following me?
‘I don’t think there’s any need to follow along.’
Baek Woo-jin smiled as he saw Hong A-ra’s back moving away.
-okay. I think it will take care of itself.
‘We should deal with these guys instead.’
There is no way these guys are going to stand still after being hit.
Even if we don’t kill them, we need to educate them so they can’t be picked up again.
-The broken head will break again.
Heukam looked at the stunned prosecutors with a pitiful expression.

“Huh? young master!”
When Hong Ara returned to Baekga, Baek Woojin was waiting in front of the main gate.
“Did you do well?”
“yes! I caught the boss too! He was a goblin fighter, and it was difficult at first, but as we fought, his attacks became familiar to me…”
Hong Ara took out the goblin fighter’s magic stone and held it out.
Her eyes were sparkling like a puppy wanting to be praised.
“You did really well.”
Baek Woo-jin smiled with satisfaction.
“thank you!”
Hong Ara’s face brightened greatly at his praise.
“Did anything happen?”
“yes? “Nothing special happened.”
Hong A-ra did not say anything about the altercation she had with the two prosecutors.
He doesn’t want to worry Baek Woo-jin.
“But Ara.”
“yes?”
“Are you good at swearing?”
“A curse?”
“okay.”
“I know how to do a little bit of learning.”
Hong A-ra hesitated and then nodded.
“You learned it? To whom?”
“Escort Moon Ju-young told me….”
“Moon Ju-young?”
“He taught me to practice and told me to use it in case someone cursed at you.”
“That’s right.”
Baek Woo-jin nodded with an awkward expression.
I wondered where he learned that curse word, and it turned out that it was Moon Ju-young.
‘It’s him again.’
-Hahaha! He’s normally normal, but when it comes to your problems, he goes beyond common sense!
‘Ugh…’
– If you get a sword belt later, won’t you all be swearing at each other? That would be funny.
Heukam giggled and made fun of Baek Woo-jin.
“Why are you doing this?”
“It’s no big deal. And don’t take everything Moon Ju-young says too much. “You need to listen carefully.”
Baek Woo-jin vowed to tell Moon Ju-young to show some restraint.
-It looks like Moon Joo-young is going to have an interesting accident.
**
“Crung…”
The Flame Dragon appeared in the break room again today and was inhaling snacks and chocolate.
“young master. This dragon. “Don’t you think it’s gotten a little bigger?”
“huh?”
Hearing Hong A-ra’s words, Baek Woo-jin approached the table and looked the Flame Dragon up and down.
“It’s true.”
I looked at it and touched it and found that it had grown, albeit slightly, in size.
“uh…?”
Baek Woo-jin’s eyes widened.
Not only did the Flame Dragon grow in size.
The fire attribute energy it possessed also increased, albeit slightly.
“How could this happen…”
It made no sense and was unheard of for a spirit to grow by eating human food.
-Why are you doing this?
‘This guy’s spirit energy has increased.’
-what?
‘By eating cookies, not only did I get bigger, but my strength also got stronger!’
-omg!
Even darkness could not speak.
It was unheard of for a spirit to grow after eating cookies, even if they had lived for hundreds of years.
-Not only are you unique, but even your spirit is unique. I’m so sick of it now.
‘I’ll have to find out.’
Baek Woo-jin took out his cell phone and made a call.
The name Yoon Woo-min was written on the screen.
“Elder.”
[How long has it been since you called before that you’re calling again?]
Contrary to what he said, Yoon Woo-min’s voice was full of joy.
“Is it possible for a spirit with a contract to come out to the human world alone?”
[What are you talking about eating dog grass? Not even the Spirit King.]
“For some time now, flame dragons have been appearing at will.”
[what? That huge guy? There must have been chaos.]
Yoon Woo-min’s voice contained great surprise.
“Ah, it comes out as small as a puppy. Use your own power, not mine. “Just eating snacks…”
Baek Woo-jin told Yoon Woo-min all about the Flame Dragon.
[Not only are you unique, but your spirits are also unique.]
“I heard that from other people too.”
[I will do my own research. Please come visit me sometime soon.]
“Thank you.”
[What is gratitude? Buy me a nice drink.]
“Yes. Thank you so much….”
Pop.
Yoon Woo-min coolly hung up the phone without even listening to Baek Woo-jin’s answer.
Chew Chew Chew Chew
Flame Dragon chewed and swallowed the round chocolate cookie eagerly without paying attention to anyone.
“Crung!”
It looks like he is satisfied with the taste.
“okay. “Eat a lot.”
Baek Woo-jin opened more cookies and placed them in front of Flame Dragon.
‘I guess it’s a good thing that my spirit is getting stronger.’
-Well, that’s true.
‘huh?’
As I was giving snacks to the Flame Dragon, I felt the presence of many people running towards the entrance of Geomgak.
“young master!”
“Master Baek Woo-jin!”
“Please come out!”
Baek Woo-jin opened the door of Geomgak and went out when he heard a voice calling him.
More than twenty prosecutors were kneeling in front of the door.
“I’m really sorry. “But I came here because I had no one to help me other than you.”
“Need help? “What do you mean?”
“My name is Kim Seong-cheol, and I am a level 3 prosecutor belonging to the Jejeomgak.”
The prosecutor at the front introduced himself while putting his head on the ground.
Swordsmen belonging to the Jegeomgak are swordsmen who complete basic and basic training and undergo training by performing simple tasks.
-The guy in front is quite talented.
‘I remember when I heard your name. That guy will later join the Black Swords. ‘I see a few guys who will do outstanding work.’
In addition to Kim Seong-cheol, the faces of talented prosecutors came into view.
“Ten of our classmates went on a mission to explore the crack change area.”
“however?”
“The monsters that came out of the rift were Gnolls, so I thought I could easily deal with them. However, it is said that a crack occurred and Gust and Gust Rod came out.”
“Gust….”
Baek Woo-jin sighed.
Gust is a monster about the size of a goblin, but it has fast movement and attack speeds and its tough leather makes it highly difficult to hunt even among the 5th grade.
We can never compete with the current prosecutors of Jegeomgak.
“We requested that prosecutors be sent to the Ministry of Public Administration and Security, but they were refused.”
“Why?”
“They say there is no need to go now because my comrades will have already been killed by Gust. “The monsters will be dealt with after the rift changes are over… haha!”
Kim Seong-cheol wailed and hit the floor with his fist.
“My classmates have survival training and are very smart. It’s definitely hiding somewhere. Please save me!”
“please.”
Kim Seong-cheol hit his head on the ground, and all the prosecutors behind him also hit their heads.
-A level 3 swordsman cannot withstand Gust. Unfortunately, they would all have died. And if change is in progress, isn’t it a dangerous situation because you don’t know what might happen?
‘But I still have to go.’
-what?
‘Originally, it was Daeyeonmun that went to that crack change area, not us.’
-Then the future changed because of you?
‘okay. I heard that as I am active, more requests are coming to Shingeombaekga. It’s because of me that they went to that crack. And…’
Baek Woo-jin continued, looking at the kneeling prosecutors.
‘Even if that’s not the case, I’ll go. Because it is right for a guild to protect its members. Even if he’s dead, at least the body needs to be found.’
Baek Woo-jin decided to go to the place where the crack changed.
“Moon Guard.”
“yes!”
“There is no support from the family. “You and I are going alone.”
“All right!”
Moon Joo-young clenched his fists as he answered.
He had a face that would go to hell.
“Thank you!”
“thank you. young master!”
The prosecutors continued to bang their heads with tears in their eyes.
No one in this family stepped forward, but Baek Woo-jin was the only one who made a move, so I couldn’t help but be moved.
Ding!
[A new quest has arrived.]
< Walking Together >
Your guild members are hiding in the crack change zone. Save them and show them the path ahead.
Condition: Find 11 people currently alive in the rift change zone.
Reward: 1100 points.
-Huh, he’s alive? But didn’t you say there were 10 people in your class?
‘I guess there’s someone else out there.’
Baek Woo-jin clicked accept the quest and then looked at the prosecutors, including Kim Seong-cheol.
“I’ll bring you back alive somehow.”
**
“Ugh…”
Go Hyeon-seok, a magician from the Association of Talents, sighed as he looked at the huge barrier behind him.
“What a sigh.”
Ki Chang-hoon, a fellow wizard and classmate, picked his ears with a bored expression.
“It’s pitiful. “I came here on a mission from the family, but no rescue came.”
“It’s a bit cruel, but he’s probably already dead. They’re level 3 swordsmen, so there’s no way they can withstand Gust. But if it’s a guild that big, it’s okay to show it…”
“Wait a minute, who’s coming?”
“hmm? “I still have a long way to go.”
Not only Go Hyun-seok and Ki Chang-hoon, but others also tilted their heads when they saw the two men approaching.
“who are you?”
“I come from the White House.”
“uh? “Baekga will come when the rift changes are over…”
Go Hyun-seok pointed to a barrier that resembled a dome stadium.
Tu-tu-tu-duk.
Grumbling.
Strange sounds were constantly coming from inside the barrier.
This meant that it was a dangerous state in which re-cracks could occur at any time or otherworldly plants or monsters could appear because the crack changes had not yet finished.
“I’m going in now.”
“Have you ever received such an order… huh?”
Go Hyun-seok’s eyes widened as if they were about to pop out as he finally saw the face of the man in front of him.
“Prosecutor Baek Woo-jin?”
“Hyeopgeom!”
“Baek Woo-jin came?”
The wizards and warriors maintaining the barrier flocked forward to see Baek Woo-jin.
“This is Baek Woo-jin from Shingeombaekga. Please open the barrier.”
“The order has not been given yet. “After going through formal procedures…”
“I will take responsibility. Please open.”
It was a polite request, but in reality it was not a request.
The force spreading from Baek Woo-jin’s body became a firm will and pressed down on everyone present here.
‘Are you now incorporating your own will as well?’
Moon Joo-young felt Baek Woo-jin’s huge presence behind her and got goosebumps all over her body.
I had no idea how far his abilities would go.
“But…”
Go Hyun-seok was trembling but did not open the barrier.
“Take this.”
Baek Woo-jin handed out the documents to Go Hyun-seok.
It was a handwritten document stating that he was responsible for everything that happened within the barrier.
“We need to get the family prosecutors. “Please open it.”
“Hmm…”
Go Hyun-seok’s expression changed at Baek Woo-jin’s sincere words.
He approached the entrance to the barrier and created a small door.
“This is illegal. “I could be disciplined. You must come back.”
Go Hyun-seok looked at Baek Woo-jin with a stern expression.
What moved him was not Baek Woo-jin’s force but his sincere words.
“Be careful because there is a lot of change inside….”
“Kiaaa!”
“omg!”
When Go Hyun-seok tried to explain the inside to Baek Woo-jin, Gust came out from inside and hit him with a claw.
“Aaaah!”
When Go Hyun-seok collapsed and screamed, Baek Woo-jin blocked his path.
Sigh!
Gust’s nails and body were split in half by the ultra-fast kick technique that could cut through even the wind.
“omg!”
“Gust is one sword?
“Oh, I don’t think I even used an Auror, so how can I get that tough leather!”
The association’s powerful people looked at Baek Woo-jin as if they were mesmerized.
They too can catch Gust.
But it was impossible to catch it that quickly and all at once.
Simmering
, Baek Woo-jin put away his sword and looked inside the barrier.
As crack changes were in progress, the ground was shaking as if there had been an earthquake, and the color of the sky was constantly changing.
In a place where everyone would be afraid, he looked back at Moon Ju-young with a calm expression.
“let’s go.”
