Episode 89 Summoners’ Guild (5)
“Mephs!”
Shin Chang-hoon hid himself behind the ogre wall and summoned a bat with four eyes.
This bat, called Mephs, is a special and rare summon that can remember a location in each eye and teleport there.
“Quick, quick! Open your first eye!”
The first of Mephs’ four eyes flashed, and Shin Chang-hoon’s body began to become transparent.
‘it’s okay.’
The smile returned to Shin Chang-hoon’s mouth.
Since his body had already begun to disappear, no matter what Baek Woo-jin did, he could not attack him.
“uh…?”
Shin Chang-hoon’s eyes, which were drawing a half moon, grew as big as a flower lantern.
Gooooo!
Behind the ogre, a terrifying energy that I had never felt before began to gather.
“Ah…”
Shin Chang-hoon’s eyes flashed with disbelief.
When I saw the darkness created by Baek Woo-jin, goosebumps appeared all over my body, as if I was looking at an abyss with no end in sight.
Quaaaaa!
The wall made of ogres was torn apart and black darkness covered the world.
“Mephs! Just move!”
Shin Chang-hoon instructed to move without the Mephs energy covering his right hand and right foot.
He thought that the black auror would affect him, so he tried to give up his right hand and right leg.
However, Baek Woo-jin’s movement was slightly faster than Mephs’ movement.
“Off!”
Shin Chang-Hoon gritted his teeth and punched a fist full of aura.
The attempt was to use the aurors on both hands to give Mephs time to move.
Quaaaaa!
Seomya’s destructive power easily tore off Shin Chang-hoon’s arms, which were full of aura.
“Kwaaaak!”
When the black brilliance was about to destroy Shin Chang-hoon’s life, Mephs’ power was activated and Shin Chang-hoon disappeared.
Coo coo coo coo.
Seomya’s enormous energy split the earth and collapsed the hill in place of the disappeared Shin Chang-hoon.
“Huh…”
Yoon Woo-min’s eyes were filled with astonishment.
The power Baek Woo-jin showed was completely different from any swordsmanship he had ever seen.
It was so powerful that it made my skin tremble.
“Tsk.”
Baek Woo-jin clicked his tongue when he saw the space where Shin Chang-hoon disappeared.
-It’s a shame. Both arms were blown off, but he survived.
‘I know. It was a little slow.’
Even though Seomya was fast and had great power, he was unable to completely deal with Shin Chang-hoon.
As expected, the summoned beast called Mephs was a fraud itself.
‘Still, both arms are blown off, so I won’t be able to move for a while.’
Since I lost both arms, I cannot restore them even if I call a restorer.
Since Shin Chang-hoon is a summoner and a warrior, he cannot regain his former strength even if he is fitted with a prosthetic hand.
-I couldn’t kill him, but this island wasn’t that bad.
The darkness approached Baek Woo-jin’s eyes and flashed its blade.
-The activation speed was fast and the power was still alive. It was rewarding to train you.
‘I’m finally recognized.’
Baek Woo-jin laughed slightly.
When I was training, I was always told that I was not good enough, but now I have finally received the approval of darkness.
It certainly seems like he is strong in actual combat.
“Are you okay?”
Baek Woo-jin approached Yoon Woo-min, whose eyes were still wide open.
“It’s okay.”
Yoon Woo-min nodded with a mesmerized look on his face.
I thought that I would have helped Baek Woo-jin in the future, but that I would not receive any help.
However, he owed not only his life, but also the lives of Jang Kyeong-ha and his guild members.
There was only one thing I could say.
“thanks. Thank you very much.”
It was a little awkward, but it was Yoon Woo-min’s sincere words.
“You said he was the old man’s disciple. What happened?”
“Huh…”
Yoon Woo-min closed his eyes and sighed softly.
Since Baek Woo-jin was involved in this matter, I had no choice but to tell him.
“right. That evil bastard is my disciple. No, he was a disciple.”
Yoon Woo-min looked up at the night sky with a bright full moon with a sad expression.
“I really cherished him and taught him a lot because he had more talent than anyone else. Although he was the youngest, he quickly became stronger and quickly surpassed the strength of the others.”
“Hmm…”
I heard that no one can match Shin Chang-hoon’s summoning talent.
“The day I returned from work with Gyeongha, he killed two other disciples and was conducting experiments with spirits that were supposed to be reverse summoned.”
“Why on earth would you do something like that….”
“They said they did it because they were curious. “I wonder if we can use the spirits of dead people.”
“Huh…”
I thought there must have been some reason, but I never imagined that they would kill two executioners just out of interest.
Shin Chang-hoon was a devil himself that even psychopaths would cry about.
-It was a demon.
‘okay. He’s a terrible guy.’
Baek Woo-jin frowned as he regretted losing Shin Chang-hoon.
“I could have killed that demon, but at the last moment, I remembered the first time I saw him. “With that one moment of hesitation, I lost sight of him.”
Yoon Woo-min bit his lip and his hands trembled, as if he still regrets what happened then.
The reason he did not want to accept himself and Jeong Geun-ho as disciples was because he did not want them to get caught up in Shin Chang-hoon’s affairs.
“I feel so sorry for you. Now he’s going to come after you. “I got caught up in my business…”
“It’s okay. “I never lose to someone I’ve beaten once.”
Baek Woo-jin clenched his fists.
Because his growth rate was faster than anyone else’s, the difference in power between him and Shin Chang-hoon will widen as time passes. It wasn’t scary at all.
“hmm…?”
When Baek Woo-jin was about to return to the guild after talking with Yoon Woo-min, he could feel a faint energy.
He walked to the hole where Shin Chang-hoon disappeared and rummaged in the ground.
-What are you doing?
‘I felt something.’
Baek Woo-jin searched under the ground and pulled out something hard.
That was the front part of the gauntlet Shin Chang-hoon was wearing.
Grumbling.
When Baek Woo-jin opened the front part of the cracked gauntlet, a ring in the shape of a tiger holding a jewel popped out from inside.
‘This is…’
-A ring from a gauntlet?
* * *
“Excuse me?”
Baek Woo-jin entered Jang Kyeong-ha’s room at Yoon Woo-min’s call.
“Come on.”
Jang Kyung-ha welcomed him with a faint smile.
“How are the people?”
“It may still be difficult, but it will be okay. They say time is medicine.”
A bitter smile appeared on Jang Kyung-ha’s lips.
The person who suffered the most from Jeon Han-su’s betrayal was Jang Gyeong-ha, but as a guild master, she did not waver.
After taking Zeno’s information from Jeon Han-su, he personally killed him.
“It’s because of you that I had that time. thank you so much.”
“I think I’ve heard that 100 times.”
Every time Baek Woo-jin made eye contact with Jang Kyeong-ha and Yoon Woo-min, Unitas guild members, he heard them say thank you.
I heard it so much that it was now a burden.
“No, even if you do it 1,000 times, it’s not enough. “Didn’t you save not just me and my Majesty, but everyone else as well?”
Yoon Woo-min looked at Baek Woo-jin with clearer eyes.
“Master, you are right. “It’s not enough.”
Jang Kyung-ha nodded.
The playfulness and curiosity in her eyes when they first met had now turned into wonder for Baek Woo-jin.
Jang Gyeong-ha felt sincere admiration and gratitude for his young priest.
If he hadn’t come, everyone here wouldn’t be alive.
“What are you going to do now?”
“First of all, I heard that the teacher is here. Until then, I need to find a place to move. “Because I can’t give this thing away.”
Jang Kyung-ha sighed and took out a small dagger.
That dagger was the Suryu Yeon that Shin Chang-hoon was aiming for.
Suryunyeon is a divine being that spreads the energy of water, and had a power similar to that of Arcane’s fire incarnation.
“Come to think of it, something similar happened in the past.”
“Similar thing?”
“yes. “At Arcane’s Artisan Island…”
Baek Woo-jin told Kyeong-ha Jang and Woo-min Yoon about how he protected the incarnation of fire on Arcane’s Artisan Island.
“Well, they are both items related to properties. “What on earth is Zenon aiming for?”
“Iknow, right. “This may not be normal.”
Jang Kyung-ha and Yoon Woo-min’s expressions changed seriously.
-You don’t know either?
‘I don’t know. ‘Maybe something happened in a place I don’t know about, or maybe I returned before it happened.’
Baek Woo-jin also had no idea what Zeno was trying to do with those items.
“Then I need to be more careful.”
“okay. “I can’t hand over my years to those guys.”
“I will also look into it separately.”
The three discussed Zeno’s movements for a while.
“Are you going now?”
“That’s right.”
“Then take this.”
Jang Kyung-ha took out a blue stone from a drawer and held it out.
“What is this?”
“It’s a spirit stone made in Suryuryeon.”
Jang Kyeong-ha smiled and continued.
“You can handle all four major attributes, so it will be helpful.”
Baek Woo-jin looked at Jang Kyeong-ha once.
Her eyes were filled with gratitude, so I thought it was for her to receive this spirit stone.
“thank you.”
“Compared to what you have done, not even a single message will be worth it.”
“no. “That’s enough.”
“And there’s one more thing.”
Jang Gyeong-ha stood up and held out his right hand.
Her hands were empty, but her expression showed seriousness.
“Unitas Guild, including me, will support whatever job Prosecutor Baek Woo-jin wants. Even if it means sacrificing your life.”
“Did the guild members’ doctors also join in?”
“of course. “I swore to help you, every single one of you.”
“Write my name there too.”
Yoon Woo-min raised his hand.
The eyes of the two people were as calm as a lake in the forest.
It meant that he had no regrets whatsoever about the words he just said.
“All right.”
Baek Woo-jin smiled and held Jang Kyeong-ha’s hand.
“I will also help you any time you two want.”
At Baek Woo-jin’s words, smiles also bloomed on the lips of Yoon Woo-min and Jang Kyung-ha.
-Life will end while helping each other….
* * *
Baek Woo-jin called Hong A-ra and Moon Ju-young after returning to Baekga.
“Did you have a good time?”
“okay. “Both of you sit this way.”
Baek Woo-jin pointed to the chair across from him.
“Hmm…”
Because Baek Woo-jin’s expression was serious, Moon Ju-young and Hong A-ra swallowed their dry saliva.
“I have something important to do.”
“Please tell me. “I will do anything!”
Moon Joo-young and Hong A-ra were greatly moved by Baek Woo-jin’s willingness to rely on them.
Squeak!
Baek Woo-jin tore off five chocolate cookies placed on one side of the table and set them aside.
Good luck!
As promised, the Flame Dragon appeared.
The flame dragon flew over and started chomping and eating the chocolate cookie.
“I need to decide on a name for this guy.”
Baek Woo-jin touched the flame dragon’s head and opened his mouth.
“I see. “It’s important.”
Moon Joo-young felt like his heart was relaxed.
Choosing a name for the summoned animal is important, but it was very different from what was expected.
“It’s good!”
On the other hand, Hong Ara smiled brightly and nodded.
“I was disappointed that it didn’t have a name.”
“So I thought of a name.”
“What is it?”
Hong Ara’s eyes sparkled with anticipation.
“You eat like this, making noises. So….”
Baek Woo-jin said the name he had thought of with an embarrassed expression.
“Chuck.”
“….”
Hong A-ra’s expression hardened like a plaster statue, and Moon Joo-young’s chin lowered to the table.
The two people looked at Baek Woo-jin with a haunted expression.
“Krrr….”
The Flame Dragon also bared its teeth and growled as if it was some kind of bullshit.
‘The reaction is stronger than I expected…’
-You idiot! I told you it was definitely not that name!
The eyes of two people and one animal were flashing frighteningly. It was so different from usual that I was embarrassed.
“young master.”
“Yes?”
“I read a novel a while ago. In it, the main character named his summoned animal Dpbaek. “It’s dense and crying.”
Hong A-ra’s fists were shaking.
“I was so angry at the naming sense that I wanted to grab the writer by the collar and shake him. But the name you just mentioned, Cheong-Cheok, is not that easy.”
Hong A-ra lost her usual shyness and confidently expressed her opinions.
It was a similar reaction to when I heard Baek Woo-jin’s curse in the dungeon.
“Ara. stop.”
Moon Joo-young restrained Hong A-ra from getting excited.
“It’s clear you’re joking, but why are you getting so worked up? “Now you will tell me your proper name.”
Of course, Moon Ju-young thought that Baek Woo-jin was joking.
He didn’t want to believe that Baek Woo-jin, whom he admired, thought of the name Chew-Chew.
‘hey. Think quickly!’
-I’m not good at coming up with names!
‘If you don’t speak properly, you’ll be eaten!’
-It’s nothing special, but there used to be a red dragon called Ygkart. It is especially strong among dragons, so the entire continent…
‘Ig Kart? ‘Ig…’
Baek Woo-jin mumbled the word ‘ig’ and then opened his mouth.
“How about this Ignis?”
“It’s in Latin. Hmm, since it’s a fire spirit, it doesn’t seem that bad.”
“It’s cool, I like it too!”
The name Ignis was well-received, perhaps because the name Chew Chew was so shocking.
“Now your name is Ignis. Ugh…”
Baek Woo-jin sighed in relief and petted the flame dragon.
“Crung!”
Flame Dragon also snorted as if he liked the name Ignis.
“Uh…”
But something unexpected happened.
Grumble!
The moment Flame Dragon accepted his name, his entire body was engulfed in red flame.
[The flame dragon gains new characteristics.]
