Episode 106 Second encounter
[Bead of Awakening]
Brings out the unique potential dormant in the user’s body.
Grade: Legendary.
Conditions for use: Mana ability level 6 or higher.
The explanation was simple enough to be described as light, so I was able to immediately understand what the Bead of Awakening was.
‘Are you saying that using this bead will bring out my potential?’
-I looked to see if there was any other meaning, but I couldn’t see anything. As you said, it seems like it’s all about extracting potential.
Darkness continued, looking intently at the item information window.
-But you don’t have any potential…
‘What?’
-You know best, but you are inherently untalented.
‘Of course I know.’
-Even if there was regression, that fact did not change. Your strength now is something you gained thanks to the added power and effort of the system. In other words, there is still no special potential or talent in your body.
“Hmm…”
Baek Woo-jin frowned.
According to what Darkness said, this bead was completely unnecessary to him.
-The spirit stones and mana elixirs you took before have almost finished being absorbed.
‘So you’re saying there will be no change at all if I use this?’
-It’s a legendary item, so that’s probably not the case. I think it will give me strength in a different way, but I don’t know what will happen either.
Darkness answered as he looked at his reflection in the Orb of Awakening.
‘I’ll find out when I go back and use this bead.’
Baek Woo-jin put the awakening bead into the darkness inventory.
“Now…”
“Could you give me a moment?”
When Baek Woo-jin was about to call Moon Joo-young, Park Seong-woo approached.
“Please speak.”
Because Park Seong-woo was polite from the first time he met him, Baek Woo-jin also used polite language.
“Do you mind if what happened here is revealed to the outside world?”
“yes?”
“Two disciples of Daeyeonmunju have died. “There are many people who saw the prosecutor and the brain dog arguing at the port, so even if Mr. Serpent King is present, there will definitely be an argument.”
“Hmm…”
Baek Woo-jin looked into Park Seong-woo’s eyes.
I thought he was trying to threaten me, but his eyes were too clear for that.
“It doesn’t matter because I’m just telling the truth.”
“Is it true?”
“The fact that two idiots from Daeyeonmun ambushed me and I was beaten and killed by that monster.”
“Even so, Daeyeonmun will raise the issue with the prosecutor. But…”
Park Seong-woo closed his eyes slightly, opened them, and then continued.
“If we both said the same thing, they wouldn’t be able to come forward either.”
Baek Woo-jin nodded. That was correct.
If Lucas and Shingeombaekga give similar testimony, Daeyeonmun will not be able to move.
“Is there something you want from me?”
“no. I just don’t want to suffer from the Great Yeonmun. “It would be annoying if the words were different.”
Seongwoo Park slowly shook his head.
“Lucas doesn’t hate me, does he? If you’re going to bother me, you’d better give another testimony.”
“I don’t have any feelings towards the prosecutor.”
“yes?”
Baek Woo-jin’s eyes opened wide.
Although he didn’t start it first, he exposed Red Tower’s trashy actions to the world, causing Lucas’ image to fall to the ground.
I couldn’t understand why Park Seong-woo reacted like that.
“Lucas is a guild that combines four magic towers.”
“Of course I know.”
“It also has its own factions. “Our green tower is not that close to the red tower.”
“Ah…”
“Of course, it looks like we’re doing well on the outside.”
Seongwoo Park said, ‘It’s all politics,’ and smiled slightly.
“Anyway, I think the reason Lucas’ image has fallen is not because of the prosecutor, but because of a few heads of the Red Tower. So I don’t have any feelings.”
“I see.”
What I didn’t know was that the Red Tower and the Green Tower were not on good terms.
I felt lucky that things worked out this way.
-I definitely don’t feel any different emotions from him. I think I was touched by something.
As Heukam said, Park Seong-woo seemed to want to agree with each other for the sake of each other’s convenience without any special intention.
However, neither Baek Woo-jin nor Heuk-am knew the real reason why Park Seong-woo approached them.
‘This person is different.’
As a mid-level executive at Green Tower, Park Seong-woo met many people and experienced many things, but this was the first time he saw someone like Baek Woo-jin.
In times of danger, most people take care of their own bodies first.
No one can say anything because it is natural.
But Baek Woo-jin was different.
He protected his escort and was poisoned himself.
No matter how good a poisoning item is, not everyone can do something like that.
The reason why Park Seong-woo became fond of Baek Woo-jin was because of that appearance.
“That doesn’t mean I’m taking the prosecutor’s side.”
Seongwoo Park turned his head to where the Serpent King’s body was.
“I will testify that, as I saw here, the warriors of Daeyeonmun, including Noegyeon and Dokdon, ambushed the prosecutor, but were reversed and killed by Mr. Serpent King’s poison.”
Seongwoo Park bowed slightly to Woojin Baek and then returned to where the wizards were.
“Hmm…”
-How is that any different from being on your side? Is the system now controlling people’s emotions as well?
Baek Woo-jin was looking at Park Seong-woo’s back, and the darkness muttered as if it was absurd.
**
Two breaking news items were posted simultaneously on the main page of a large portal site with numerous people.
The first was that Noegyeon and Dokdon were killed by the Serpent King, and the second was that Baek Woo-jin killed the Serpent King alone.
As people were stamping their feet wondering what had happened, articles and broadcasts containing photos of Mr. Serpent King began to appear one after another.
-Hyeopgeom made an accident again!
-Is that a dragon or a snake? If I had grown up just a little bit, I would have ascended to heaven.
-I’m tired of it and let it go.
-When I saw the body, I saw that it had been decapitated with a sword. I wonder if that is human swordsmanship.
-If anyone asks about the future of Korean talent, raise your head and look at Shingeombaekga.
-Haha, is that guy crazy?
-I want to be Baek Woo-jin just for one day. Really…
While people were excitedly reading articles and watching the news, the second articles were posted.
This time, it was an article containing the incident of Baek Woo-jin and Daeyeonmun’s warriors.
-I thought Daeyeonmun would be like that too.
-Tsk tsk. It looks like you always tried to maintain a good image, but in reality, you were ready to stab me in the back.
– Baek Woo-jin or Lucas could have lied.
-Did you put poop on your head? We all know that Lucas and Baek are close friends, but would Lucas have taken Baek Woo-jin’s side?
-Unlike Daeyeonmun, who only opens his mouth, Hyeopgeom always moves directly. Even recently, Minotaur had an association academy.
-I want to be Baek Woo-jin just for one day. Really…
the comments were full of praise for Baek Woo-jin and insults for Daeyeon-moon.
Thanks to Baek Woo-jin’s collaborative efforts, there were only a very small number of people who doubted him.
**
“It’s finally taking effect.”
Baek Woo-jin smiled broadly as he looked at the comments on his article on his smart phone.
The effects of saving people and managing image are finally starting to show.
“It’s working.”
People were only focusing on Baek Woo-jin himself, rather than the fact that he was from the cold and cold Baek family.
-Smirking guy.
“Tell me it’s strategic.”
-A guy like Yamsaeng.
“You didn’t lie at all, so why are you so angry?”
-I want to see you suffer so much. I hope you go through some hardships!
The aura of darkness fluctuated.
Baek Woo-jin was solving all matters smoothly with the blessings of the future information-strengthened military system on his back.
The thought of wanting to personally come forward and pick on that obnoxious bastard came to me like crazy.
“I’m sorry, but that won’t happen.”
Because he knew that something like that would never happen, Baek Woo-jin just smiled even as the darkness went on a rampage.
-Someday…
“Yes, yes.”
Baek Woo-jin ignored the dark words and opened the cola and opened several flavors of ice cream and placed them in a bowl.
“Tweet!”
After a while, snow fell from the air and snow and ice appeared.
“You used your strength well. Eat this…”
As Baek Woo-jin was pushing cola and ice cream to Seolbing, a beep rang.
[You have successfully dealt with the white ice.]
[Water property sensitivity increases.]
[Water property resistance increases.]
[Glacia’s abilities increase.]
[White ice is strengthened.] A
hologram window appears and the snow ice The body flashed silver.
As the silver grew, Snow Bing’s body grew larger and its feathers began to grow longer.
The biggest difference was that the water energy flowing through his body increased significantly.
“Tweet!”
Sulbing looked at his body, tilted his head once, put his beak in the cup, and started drinking cola.
It seemed like he meant to eat first and see whether he got stronger or not.
-You’re telling me to grow again here? Does it make sense for a newborn to have that kind of power?
“If it gets this big, it could really freeze the ocean in the future.”
The growth of Sulbing was so fast that it was thought that if Sulbing’s own power was used instead of using Sulbing’s power as a gwanilgeuk, it might actually freeze the sea.
Grumble!
As Baek Woo-jin was looking at the snow ice with curious eyes, a red flame appeared alone and Ignis appeared.
“Crung!”
Ignis snorted, gesturing to the cold food that Sulbing was eating.
“You want it too? You haven’t done anything…”
“Krang!”
Ignis opened his mouth as if asking to hurry up.
“Ugh…”
Baek Woo-jin sighed and took out the snacks and laid them out in front of Ignis.
“Kao!”
Ignis rubbed his head against Baek Woo-jin’s leg as if he was being cute and started swallowing the snack. The
chomping
sound was much louder than usual, as if he wasn’t going to lose to Sulbing.
“Hmm…”
Baek Woo-jin chuckled as he watched the two spirits inhaling food like rivals.
“Perhaps. “There won’t be any more spirits that are the king’s vessels, right?”
-Have some conscience.
“It can happen by chance like these guys.”
-That doesn’t happen anymore. No matter how crazy the system is, it wouldn’t be that crazy.
Darkness muttered the last words he could not say to himself.
-Probably no, please…
**
Baek Woo-jin went into the private banquet room in Geomgak after providing food for the spirits.
-You must be very happy. What you wanted has come true.
“It’s still far away.”
Baek Woo-jin chuckled and shook his head.
“I created the good and good image I wanted, but there are still many things I haven’t done.”
-What didn’t you do?
“First of all, we have to beat up Baek So-hee and Baek Sun-ah as well. “Someone behind it has to be beaten too.”
-…All I can say is that they are all fans.
“So…”
Baek Woo-jin raised his hand towards Heuk-am.
-What?
“Open your mouth and take out the awakening bead.”
-You crazy bastard! It’s not your mouth, it’s your inventory!
“It doesn’t really matter.”
-I also have something I want. I want to punch you in the back of the head without any hesitation!
“Heukgang. “That is impossible.”
-Keuuuuuu…
“Give it to me quickly.”
Darkness made a sound out of breath, but opened the inventory and handed over the marble.
-But do you know how to use those beads?
“no.”
-Then what are you going to do?
“I think I know roughly.”
Baek Woo-jin brought up an explanation of the Awakening Bead.
“The description here says you must be able to use mana. “I think I can bring some beads and do the exercises.”
He sat cross-legged and held the beads in both hands.
After taking a deep breath, I closed my eyes and used Cain’s Auror technique.
It was the same as the daily practice, but when the Auror circled his body and entered the Danjeon again, he could feel the energy in the bead moving.
-The beads are glowing and generating energy. continue.
‘okay.’
Baek Woo-jin continued practicing with his concentration peaked.
I vividly felt the energy inside the beads entering my body.
The energy was hot yet cold, heavy yet light, and there was an inexplicable feeling of instability.
However, as I continued to practice, the energy inside the beads spread throughout my body and began to steadily permeate my body.
Baek Woo-jin completely immersed himself in the exercises, forgetting what he was trying to do.
**
‘Hmm?’
While practicing endlessly, I felt a cold sensation and opened my eyes.
“uh?”
Baek Woo-jin looked ahead with a mesmerized face.
The place where he opened his eyes was not the training room, but the small training center where he had trained alone in his previous life.
There were countless wooden training swords he used stuck in Soyeon’s armament hall.
The training swords were not in good condition at all. They were only broken or cracked and could not be used properly.
“What are you doing here?”
I looked everywhere, but there was nothing to see except the endless training hall and training sword.
“Is it because of the awakening beads?”
I wondered if I had created a different situation because I had no potential.
“What should I do here… Wow!”
Baek Woo-jin hurriedly turned his head at the huge and gloomy energy he felt behind him.
A man was standing.
His tall stature, his muscles trained like a rock, and his tight prayers showed that he was a perfect warrior.
The most unusual thing was that where the face should be was billowing with black smoke.
“You…”
Baek Woo-jin knew who the person in front of him was.
Before, it was inside his body, but now it was facing him directly.
“Darkness?”
The smoke billowed and created an expression.
I couldn’t see it clearly, but I could tell that the expression was a smile.
