Episode 182. Demon Sword vs. Demon Spear (2)
“What happened again?”
Baek Woo-jin frowned and looked around. The sky was infinitely high and the floor was full of lapping water.
“Is it the sea? “But what is this color?”
This place had two unusual things. The sea water was pale red and you could step on the sea as if it were land.
“It’s not an ordinary place….”
-Damn it! Shit!
As Baek Woo-jin narrowed his eyes and touched the red water, a dark voice was heard from behind.
-What did you do again, you bastard! Where are we?
The darkness approached in anger and jumped like a freshly caught rockfish.
“What are you doing! “I don’t know what’s going on either!”
-Ahh! Last episode! The final episode of The World of Lovers! We have to protect the live broadcast!
“You can watch it again later, right? I’ll play it for you. First of all, here…”
-You have to watch the drama live to see the tombstone! You hopeless bastard! Plus, it’s the last episode!
“Ugh…”
Baek Woo-jin shook his head and sighed. It seems difficult to expect help from that guy.
‘It’s similar to the mental world, but it’s not the mental world.’
If this were a spiritual world, the internal injuries would have completely healed and the darkness would have taken on a human form.
‘It doesn’t feel that good.’
In my mental world, I felt comfortable and clean as if I was in my own room, but here I felt uncomfortable, like I was wearing shoes that didn’t fit, and I felt uncomfortable, like I was wearing dirty clothes.
“Ignis. Sulbing. Leo.”
Baek Woo-jin stretched out his hand and tried to call the spirits, but no one answered the call.
“Has the connection with the spirits been lost?”
-It seems to be a barrier.
Before I knew it, I looked down at the red sea with true darkness at the bottom.
“Barrier? “Is it like Jin?”
-It’s similar. You can think of it as a jinn that uses magic or magic tools. However…
Heukam turned around and looked at Baek Woo-jin and continued speaking.
-Because it uses magic, there are many more bizarre and strange things than Jinn. You can tell just by looking at it now. You were asleep in your bed and then you came here.
Baek Woo-jin nodded. It’s not an ordinary ability to wake up in a place like this, even though you just fell asleep in your room.
Ding!
[The characteristic brightness index prevented the mental world curse, Blood Arrangement.]
-Delirium!
As soon as the darkness saw the word ‘confusion’, it burst into alarm.
-Confusion is a curse that confuses the mind and causes one to slowly lose one’s reason. Seeing as there is blood involved, it seems to be a curse and barrier that uses blood.
“I don’t know who he is, but he’s doing dirty things.”
Baek Woo-jin clicked his tongue and glared at the endless red horizon.
Less evil.
About a hundred waves rose from the floor along with the sound of sticky water.
Sigh!
People began to float like balloons in the blood-red waves.
About 200 people crawled up from the floor, their eyes as yellow as rotten eggs and their whole bodies covered in thick blood.
“person? “Are you undead?”
-Was it you guys? Those who ruined my live broadcast!
Baek Woo-jin frowned, and Darkness let out a roar of anger, filled with annoyance.
“Queuuu….”
“Quaaaaa….”
“Queuuuu!”
The corpses let out gloomy cries as if they were zombies and ran at a much faster speed than the ghouls.
However, the corpses gave off an energy that was fundamentally different from that of the undead.
-What are you doing! Kill them all! Take my revenge!
“wait for a sec.”
-why? Let’s hurry up and go watch the drama!
“wait.”
Baek Woo-jin took a step forward and tilted his head as he examined the corpses.
“It’s strange.”
All of the monsters that have appeared so far have nothing to do with modern times. The zombies and ghouls were also wearing rag-like medieval clothes.
However, the clothes of the corpses in front of me were completely different from those of the undead.
-What’s strange?
“Look at the clothes. “They’re all wearing modern clothes.”
There were suits that could be worn at work right away, and there were also corpses wearing light sweats that could be worn at home.
There were also those who wore uniforms such as combat uniforms or military or police uniforms.
-uh?
Even the darkness flinched as it finally realized that they were modern humans.
-Still, I can’t leave it like that. They have intense hostility towards you.
“wait a minute.”
Baek Woo-jin looked closely at people’s faces and clothes. In particular, he meticulously remembered the faces of people wearing combat uniforms, military uniforms, and police uniforms.
-hey.
When Baek Woo-jin was about to pull out the dark sword, darkness came in front of Baek Woo-jin’s eyes.
-Use me to kill those guys.
“why? Revenge of the drama?”
-There is that, but right now we are inside the barrier. I don’t know what kind of curse or negativity will be placed on you by killing those things.
“Ah…”
-I have the power to block such nasty things. Just in case, use me.
“okay.”
Baek Woo-jin nodded and grabbed the darkness. The darkness emitted a black glow and pulled out a slender sword body. Baek Woo-jin used Seomya by putting a lot of aurors into the darkness.
Kwaaaaaaaa!
The jet-black energy that poured out from the darkness instantly destroyed over two hundred corpses.
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
Even after Seomya erased the corpses, she still had enough strength to explode the floor. The blood-stained sea water rose like a mountain.
“It was a bit too strong.”
-Because I was pissed too.
Heukam used his energy excessively, as if the anger that prevented him from watching the drama had not yet resolved.
“Is that that fun?”
-of course! The pungent taste and psychological depiction of poured sugar are crazy! Moreover, the viewership rating exceeded 25%. Today’s last episode will be over 30%!
“That’s amazing.”
Baek Woo-jin nodded with a puzzled expression. It was absurd to see a demon sword from another world discussing viewership ratings.
Squeak!
As the bodies sank, the blood-red sea began to split in half. Baek Woo-jin and Heuk-am fell into the sea.
“omg!”
-Ugh….
When Baek Woo-jin opened his eyes, he could see the ceiling of his room. When I looked to the side, I saw the darkness trembling like a sick person.
“are you okay?”
-Ugh! It’s morning!
The darkness frantically waved its blade in the air as if cutting a tree with a saw.
“morning?”
When I looked out the window, I saw pale sunlight shining through the curtains.
I didn’t think I had been at the barrier for that long, but the sun had already risen.
-Ugh! You missed the last episode!
“If it’s time, I could send it right away.”
Baek Woo-jin left the darkness running wild, picked up his cell phone and sent a text message to Lee Young-hyun.
Hehehe.
Less than a minute after sending the text, Younghyun Lee received a call.
[Prosecutor. Are you feeling better?]
Lee Young-hyun’s calm voice came from the cell phone, as if he had not slept.
“yes. “I feel a little better.”
[Fortunately, the. By the way, why did you contact me this morning?]
“You are in charge of the recent mass disappearance case, right?”
[You knew. We are also taking action because we think it is the work of criminals.]
“Is there any progress in the investigation?”
[Not at all. There are traces of weapons being wielded, but there is not a single corpse or drop of blood. This is truly amazing. Phew….]
Lee Yeon-hyeon’s voice was full of fatigue and frustration.
“What weapon did you use?”
[It is understood as a thin window. Sometimes there were traces of a large spear or an axe.]
“It was a large spear…”
When Baek Woo-jin heard the word “large spear,” a woman came to mind, but he did not bring up that person’s name.
“Can you possibly get a photo of the missing person?”
[If you want to save it, of course you can.]
“Then, please send me some photos of talented people, military officers, and police officers who have recently gone missing.”
[uh? Maybe…]
“Yes. If we do well, we might be able to catch the guy who kidnaps people.”
Baek Woo-jin flashed his hot eyes like the rising sun.
* * *
Ugh.
There was a thin, silver spear stuck in the middle of a strangely shaped magic circle made of blood.
ridge! ridge!
The red eyeball embedded in the blade of the spear was pulsating loudly as if it were the heart of an animal.
Sigh.
The blood in the magic circle stopped and Chang’s eyes closed.
“It’s over.”
Gray walked over and pulled out his spear. The magic circle disappeared as if it had been erased with an eraser.
“You went in correctly.”
Gray smiled, looking at the silver window. Seeing that the lights in the magic circle went out at the same time, it seems that Baek Woo-jin lost his temper and killed all the blood demons.
He won’t even remember what he did when he wakes up.
“I never thought that guy would be helpful.”
Thanks to Park Min-woo, I was fortunate enough to meet Baek Woo-jin. If I hadn’t met him back then, I wouldn’t have been able to make a bloody battle this easily.
“Mr. Gray.”
Jeon Hee-cheol came up behind Gray and lowered his head.
“Is the barrier completed?”
“perfectly.”
Gray smiled broadly and nodded. His smile was so refreshing that it was hard to believe that he was a man who had kidnapped hundreds of people and even ate their corpses.
“What happens now?”
Jeon Hee-cheol was not originally a member of Gray.
Because I survived in the Korean branch, I was assigned to work under Gray, so I didn’t really know anything about her.
“I will call Baek Woo-jin to the barrier three more times and it will end on the last day.”
“But can you really beat Baek Woo-jin? “This guy’s strength has already surpassed Hon Yuan.”
“Don’t worry about that, just kidnap the humans. “Because the outcome has already been decided.”
Gray smiled and went and sat down in his chair. Her face and neck turned red.
‘I never thought it would cook so quickly.’
Baek Woo-jin has grown beyond his imagination. That’s why he even used the magic spear to drag Baek Woo-jin into a bloody battle.
It was not because he was strong, but because it swallowed up all of his abilities.
“Baek Woo-jin has no choice but to kill the blood demons to escape the barrier, and the blood demons pour out their resentment for being killed, not on me, but on Baek Woo-jin.”
“Ah…”
“Baek Woo-jin will gradually lose his vitality and reason due to the curse of the blood demons.”
Gray continued fiddling with the silver spear.
“It’s a very simple thing to do, just go into the barrier on the last day, enjoy a fierce battle with Baek Woo-jin, who was branded as a sacrifice, and offer his heart, which has returned to its origin, as a sacrifice with this spear.”
“Mmm!”
Jeon Hee-cheol met Gray’s snake-like eyes and swallowed dry saliva without realizing it.
“Hehe.”
Gray had a desire as red as the rising sun in his eyes.
* * *
It wasn’t until late at night that Lee Young-hyeon sent photos of the missing people by email.
“It wasn’t just a zombie after all.”
Baek Woo-jin frowned after checking the photos of the missing people sent by Lee Young-hyun.
I was able to find the faces I had seen at that location among the talented soldiers and police officers who had disappeared.
The corpses in that strange space were, of course, missing people.
-It looks like they were targeting you by using those missing people as sacrifices.
“I was too weak to say I was aiming for it.”
-Are you sick or tired?
“at all. Instead, you felt tired.”
-Well then, that’s a relief. Is the only loss being drama?
“That damn drama…”
Baek Woo-jin shook his head. Darkness has not let go of its anger, declaring that it will not watch the final episode until it kills the culprit of this incident.
“It looks like Gray did it.”
-gray? That crazy bitch?
“okay. You said that among the weapon scars was something that looked like a huge spear or axe. “That kind of thing is rare.”
Other than Gray, there was no one in particular that came to mind. However, it was surprising that even though the black market and the association’s intelligence department were moving, they were leaving no trace.
“Aren’t you going to watch a drama today?”
-Wednesday is an interesting day as a prosecutor. I definitely have to see it today.
“Can I see it?…”
Baek Woo-jin trailed off. Seeing that I was feeling drowsy similar to yesterday, I felt like I would be dragged there again today.
“I do not know.”
Baek Woo-jin lay down on the bed and gave himself over to drowsiness. After a while, I opened my eyes with the feeling of my heart tightening.
“Here you go again.”
When I opened my eyes, I was in the same place as yesterday. However, it felt like the color of the blood on the floor had become a little darker.
-Ugh! These crazy bastards are real!
Even today, the screams of darkness that missed the main drama rang out.
* * *
It was the fourth day since I woke up on a sea of blood.
The sea became so murky that it gave me goosebumps just to look at it, and the darkness no longer screamed. It was even more scary because he did not reveal his burning anger.
“I think about 500 people will come out today.”
The number increased from 200 on the first day to 300 on the second day, and yesterday there were about 400, so it seemed like there would be about 500 today.
However, instead of new corpses appearing every time, the corpses killed yesterday were still appearing today.
Slosh!
But Baek Woo-jin’s prediction was wrong. The sea of blood bubbled like boiling water and gathered in one place.
Squeak! Squeak!
The enormous amount of blood gathered in one place began to shrivel with a strange sound.
Coo coo coo coo.
The sea of blood, which was difficult to even look at properly, was compressed into a giant made of blood about 5 meters in size. The giant did not move as if he were a stone statue.
“That’s…”
Baek Woo-jin frowned. Incredible morale flowed from the giant created from the sea of blood.
-It’s dangerous. That is a curse itself.
“It’s so nauseating.”
-But I can’t just stay here. If you don’t deal with that, you’ll never be able to escape. But…
“But?”
-A magic sword as good as mine can swallow that curse with honey. catch me
“Anyway, you’re showing off.”
Baek Woo-jin chuckled and grabbed the darkness. Unlike usual, Seomya used Armin instead.
Sigh!
A huge blade shaped like the deck of a ship rose from the ground and pierced the giant’s body.
Fuuuuuuu!
Like a bursting water balloon, thick blood burst from the giant’s body and spread throughout the world.
Geeeeee!
The whole world turned red with the creepy sound of gears turning in my brain.
-Um….
“Is this just the beginning?”
A terrible fraud was spreading throughout the red world itself. Just breathing and looking at it was enough to give me a headache.
Ugh.
A magic circle of a bizarre shape flashed in front of Baek Woo-jin. A beautiful woman with long silver hair appeared from the magic circle.
“gray.”
Baek Woo-jin’s eyes lit up when he saw Gray smiling.
“I guess you missed me because you recognized me right away?”
“It was all your doing.”
“Thanks to you growing beyond my expectations, I had no choice but to use this method. hmm?”
A strong question appeared in Gray’s eyes, which were red with excitement.
‘what? ‘Why isn’t there one!’
The blood clot curse is completed by killing 900 blood demons in three days and killing the blood demon leader on the last day.
Baek Woo-jin’s heart should return to the source and the mark of sacrifice should appear on his forehead, but he could not feel either.
‘What the hell is this guy…’
Moreover, the eyes of Baek Woo-jin, who was stained with the curse of blood and needed to return to the source, were so clear. It made no sense.
‘And what is that monster…’
Behind Baek Woo-jin, a wild energy like a beast was rising explosively. The problem was that the source of that energy was not Baek Woo-jin.
“Was it four years after all?”
A huge man walked out from behind Baek Woo-jin.
It wasn’t just big. The aura of defeat was blooming endlessly to the point that it was hard to breathe.
“Ah…”
Gray felt extremely chilled just by looking at the man’s eyes. It was a sensation that made the fur on his entire body stand on end.
“I will avenge you for missing the final episode of World of Lovers, the 11th and 12th episodes of Exciting Prosecutor Life.”
Darkness clenched its fists, showing more intense anger than ever before.
