Episode 235 Baek Woo-jin vs. Zenon
“You need to go to the special recovery room first.”
“Special recovery room?”
Baek Woo-jin bit his lip. It is no exaggeration to say that Baekseon Guild is the best guild in Korea when it comes to rehabilitation and treatment.
If it was a special recovery room for ringworm, it meant that it was in a very serious condition.
“Are they all there?”
“There is Lord Buga and Lord Muyounggaek.”
“Buju and Muyeong-gaek?”
Baek Woo-jin turned his head with a blank face. I couldn’t understand what I was just hearing.
“What are you talking about! “Why are those two there?”
“When Noegeom tried to kill us, Lord Buga appeared and stopped him.”
“But why are you in a special recovery room! He has a new achievement….”
“The Brain Brain Sword was much stronger than the rating predicted by the World Association. Lord Buga was trying to protect us and was attacked by Noegeom….”
“Damn it!”
Baek Woo-jin ran to the special recovery room with rough steps. Every second that passed while I was identified before entering the special recovery room felt like an eternity.
“Ah…”
As soon as I entered the special recovery room, I couldn’t see other people. Only Baek Cheon-woong and Mu Young-gaek were in sight.
With trembling steps, Baek Woo-jin approached the bed where Bugaju was lying.
-Umm, that state….
“Father… matriarch?”
Baek Woo-jin looked at Baek Cheon-woong with bloodshot eyes. His breathing was thin and low, as if it would stop at any moment.
“How could this be…”
My forearms, which were thick as marble, became limp, my face was full of wrinkles, and my face was as shallow as a dried up well. It felt like I was seeing someone else entirely, not Baek Cheon-woong.
“You used the epicenter.”
A middle-aged man wearing a white coat approached Baek Woo-jin. It was Park Il-seop, a master of the White Sun Guild and a level 8 recovery ability.
“Jinwonjingi?”
“It is the fundamental power of humans and the energy that sustains life. This person used that primal force, also known as life force.”
“Lord Bu….”
Baek Woo-jin held Baek Cheon-woong’s wrinkled hand. Now I know why his vitality has decreased and he is aging rapidly.
When fighting with Noegeom, he used not only the heart aura but also the true source energy, which resulted in him being in that state.
“You used the auror to the point where your heart was damaged and even the epicenter was consumed, so you will never be able to fight again.”
“Are you able to wake up?”
“Because the first aid was provided quickly, he may be able to wake up, but he suffered such severe brain damage that we are not sure when he will wake up.”
“Haa…”
Baek Woo-jin sighed and sat down. Still, I felt a small sense of relief hearing that I could survive.
“thank you.”
“As I said, if we hadn’t taken quick action, it would have already been too late even if we did anything.”
“Thank you, though.”
Baek Woo-jin bowed his head to Park Il-seop. Although he said it humbly, Park Il-seop was a person with recovery skills who could be called the best in Korea.
More than just quick action, his ability to recover would also have been of great help.
“What happened to that guy?”
Baek Woo-jin pointed to Mu Young-gaek lying on the bed next to Baek Cheon-woong. The guy’s entire body, except for his right arm, was wrapped in recovery bandages.
“When Lord Bu Bu suddenly fell, he rushed at Noegeom. “I approached the thunder sword with a walking technique that was almost magical, but in the end I was hit directly by red lightning and fell down.”
The answer came not from Park Il-seop but from Moon Ju-young, who was behind him. He looked at Muyounggaek with eyes filled with various emotions.
“You said you rushed at Noegeom when you saw what happened to Lord Buga?”
“Yes…”
Moon Joo-young lowered her head. When Baek Cheon-ung, who was blocking the thunder sword, fell, the heavens and earth were filled with red thunder energy.
Before he and Uigeomdae could reach Noegeom, they were hit by the brain energy that spread around them and fell down, and Mu Young-gaek dug in between them and stood in front of Noegeom.
“What condition is this guy in?”
Baek Woo-jin looked at Mu Young-gaek, whose entire face was covered in bandages, and then turned his head to Park Il-seop.
“Fortunately, I have an artifact that blocks the lightning attribute, so my life is not in danger. However, the injury was so serious that it will take time to recover.”
“There is no problem with life….”
“There is no problem.”
“thank you.”
Baek Woo-jin bowed his head to Park Il-seop and sighed. I don’t know how many times I sigh today.
“Where are the others?”
“I’m in a regular recovery room. “Please come this way.”
Baek Woo-jin looked at Baek Cheon-woong and Mu Young-gaek for a moment and then headed to the general recovery room.
When I followed Moon Ju-young into recovery room 304, I saw all the prosecutors from the Medical Examiner’s University lying down as if dead.
Baek Woo-jin checked the physical condition of each prosecutor. The brain energy inside was almost gone, but the red scars caused by the brain energy remained.
Ugh!
Baek Woo-jin used his pure aura to cheer up the prosecutors and came out.
Next, we moved to the room where Hong A-ra and Park Hye-ri were. The two people were still unable to come to their senses.
“Ugh…”
Baek Woo-jin looked at Hong A-ra and Park Hye-ri’s faces. Red scars from brain energy remained on their faces and skin.
-Such a bastard…
The dark anger I had been holding back has reached its peak.
The other people were also important, but Hong A-ra was the first student that Baek Woo-jin and herself raised together. I was angry at the serious disfigurement on the child’s whole body and face.
“….”
Feeling a bitter taste lingering on his tongue, Baek Woo-jin put aura into Hong A-ra and Park Hye-ri’s bodies and left the room.
“Master…”
Moon Ju-young was waiting with his head down like a person who had committed a crime.
“You too, rest. “You’re not in good shape either.”
“I’m really fine. “I want to tell you with my own words.”
Moon Joo-young pointed to an empty room. Baek Woo-jin nodded as if he understood and went inside.
The two sat down on the bed and looked down at the floor.
“The mission to protect the rift has been handed down from the family. “After completing the mission, I was about to return to the front of the tower when a thunder sword suddenly appeared.”
Moon Joo-young continued speaking with his hands shaking, as if his anger at that time had not yet subsided.
“Lord Buga fought over 100 battles alone with Noegeom. “After that, he collapsed only when nearby powerful enemies and powerful members of the association came to him for support.”
“Then you guys…”
“You were killed while trying to protect Lord Buga and prevent Noegeom from escaping. “Muyeonggaek tried to catch up with Noegeom until the end, but collapsed.”
Moon Joo-young bit her lip. Mu Younggaek, who thought he would run away, held on until the end and approached Noegeom. I felt grateful for him and embarrassed at myself for not being able to do anything at the same time.
“Did Noegeom run away?”
“yes. Just as he appeared, a magic circle appeared in the sky and took him away.”
“What are the coordinates of the magic circle?”
“Lucas investigated, but came out in the desert. “I think these are fake coordinates.”
“Damn it…”
Baek Woo-jin’s face turned red. I was so upset that my people were suffering and I couldn’t do anything.
“And Noegeom spoke of his grudge against the head of the family.”
“A grudge against your father?”
“That’s right.”
“What is that…”
The Thunder Blade belongs to Zeno. Of course I thought he was targeting me, but I couldn’t understand why he was suddenly my father.
“It seemed like Lord Bug and Noegeom knew each other.”
“what?”
Noegeom was known in Korea for his powerful force and notoriety, but he was active overseas. I couldn’t understand that he and Baek Cheon-woong knew each other.
“Actually…”
Moon Joo-young told me about the conversation between Baek Cheon-woong and Noe-geom and his name was Kyung-su Cho.
“Jo Kyung-soo….”
“I have already asked Yoo Jin-ah to investigate. “You will be contacted soon.”
“Good work.”
“I really couldn’t do anything.”
Moon Joo-young clenched his fists until they bled. I was so angry that nothing was done about this matter.
“no. “Thank you for holding on.”
Baek Woo-jin patted Moon Ju-young on the shoulder and stood up.
“yes? Oh no. “I…”
Moon Joo-young held back tears from coming out at Baek Woo-jin’s kind words.
“Now rest. “The rest…”
Baek Woo-jin’s eyes lit up as he looked out the window as it got dark.
“I’ll handle it.”
**
Quang!
The door to the office where Kang Cheol-min, the head of the Shingeombaekga Public Prosecutors’ Office, was blown open without mercy.
“What the hell!”
“attack?”
The secretaries’ expressions were mesmerizing. The Haenggeombu is at the center of the New Geombaekga. It made no sense to be attacked in broad daylight like this.
Whoops –
the dust cleared and the face of the person who broke through the door was revealed.
“My youngest master…”
The person who broke down the door and came in was Baek Woo-jin. However, his expression was very cruel. The secretaries knew the reason, so they couldn’t even talk to him.
Baek Woo-jin passed the secretaries without saying a word and approached Kang Cheol-min’s room.
Kwaaaaang!
This time, they broke not only the door but the entire wall and went inside.
“Huh! “Master Do!”
Park Cheol-min, who was trying to go out when he heard the sound of the door being broken, stopped without being able to sit or stand.
‘It was like this?’
I thought I had a clear understanding of Baek Woo-jin’s strength. However, his current force was on a different level from what the Ministry of Public Administration and Security expected. Even at level 7, he was the highest level and couldn’t even move a finger.
“This is the mission of the medical school. “Whose instructions were these?”
“That depends on the order….”
“The order?”
“It was an unavoidable order given because other sword corps and combat groups were all carrying out missions.”
Park Cheol-min trembled and searched through the drawer to show the mission details.
“….”
Baek Woo-jin accepted the documents and looked at the mission details. As he said, there was nothing particularly special in the details.
“Are you saying it has nothing to do with the appearance of the brain sword?”
“Of course!” “It can’t be like that!”
“Then why don’t you mobilize the entire White Lotus Corps to find the location of the Thunder Sword?”
“That…”
“The head of the family fell and the entire medical sword team was hit. “It would be something worth mobilizing the entire white podium.”
Baekyeondan is an information group of the Shingeombaekga. In a situation like this, the entire troupe had to be mobilized, but only three groups were able to move.
“The Baekyeondan must receive instructions from the head of the family…”
“Don’t be a damn thing.”
Baek Woo-jin approached Park Cheol-min. Naturalization burned in his eyes.
“Huh!”
Park Cheol-min did not dare to look into those eyes. My body suddenly flinched as if my soul was about to burn.
“In an emergency when the head of the household is not present, you can give instructions to the Baekyeondan. Should I slit your head right here and now and give you my authority?”
“Ugh…”
Baek Woo-jin’s whole body glowed with a lava-like energy. Park Cheol-min knelt down without realizing it.
‘What is this!’
It felt like my spirit would be broken by Baek Woo-jin’s subversive spirit. It was a terrifying energy wave, as if Baek Cheon-hwa was standing in front of him.
“Actually, I contacted the head of the family first.”
“what?”
“He told us to move just three groups of white lotus columns and find the thunder sword. “I did as you said… Hehe!”
Baek Woo-jin’s body exploded with a force that was completely different from before. Park Cheol-min was unable to withstand the pressure of Baek Woo-jin’s anger and lost his mind.
Grinding his teeth,
Baek Woo-jin gritted his teeth. The people who got hit this time were all from his own faction.
It seemed like the father had decided not to pay attention to the diminished power of his child, whom he had given away anyway. It was clear that they were only trying to show off by moving only the three groups of white performers.
-It’s so obscene! Your father is not qualified to be the head of the family!
“It’s making me fall down to my last remaining affection.”
Baek Woo-jin entered the Gaju match with angry steps. My father was not there, and Kim Jae-hwan was guarding the entrance.
“Where is my father?”
“As I said last time, I don’t know.”
Kim Jae-hwan shook his head with the same expression he showed back then.
“I will ask you again. “Where is my father?”
A magnificent spirit soared from Baek Woo-jin’s whole body, as if he had the sky on his back. An intense energy wave dominating the space spread throughout the entire Gajujeon.
“Ugh!”
Kim Jae-hwan’s face turned pale. Baek Woo-jin’s power already exceeded his expectations. I couldn’t even breathe properly due to the immense pressure.
“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
…..”
Baek Woojin’s thuggish energy wave even crushed the black sword belt hidden in the pillars and ceiling. The moment I left the hiding place, I felt like my head would be blown off by Baek Woo-jin.
“I really don’t know….”
“Good.”
Baek Woo-jin glared at Kim Jae-hwan and the hidden Black Swordsman and extinguished his momentum like blowing out a candle.
“Tell your father when he comes.”
“yes?”
“I will solve this problem with my own strength.”
Baek Woo-jin looked at Kim Jae-hwan with razor-blue eyes and continued speaking.
“And tell them you’ll regret it.”
Baek Woo-jin left those words and left for the family battle without looking back.
“Ah…”
“Heo-eok…”
The black sword team could not make any movement as they looked at Baek Woo-jin’s ugly back. It was truly a force comparable to that of a fierce dragon.
“It’s dirty, so I’ll do it myself.”
He pledged to erase Zeno with his own power, without borrowing the power of Baek Woo-jin’s family.
‘And…’
I once again swore that I would break my father, who was acting like a brat until the end.
Ugh!
When Baek Woo-jin was about to return to the Baeksun Guild, he received a call from Yoo Jin-ah.
[Prosecutor.]
“Did you find it?”
[sorry. I haven’t found it yet.]
Eugene’s voice was drooping with regret.
[However, I found out who Gyeongsu Jo is.]
“The identity of Noegeom?”
[yes. Jo Kyung-su was the owner of Byeokryeokmun.]
“Byeokryeokgeommun?”
[This family was destroyed after a rumor spread that they had made a contract with demons. And the person who erased that family name….]
“It must be my father.”
[That’s right.]
Baek Woo-jin nodded. After hearing Eugene’s information, a rough picture of the situation began to form.
It was clear that Noegeom attacked the medical sword stand to seek revenge for the destruction of his family by his father.
‘Damn it…’
I got even more angry. My father would definitely know this fact. Yet, they do not come forward. He really is a terrible person.
[We are trying our best to find the location of the brain sword. Don’t worry, I will find it for you by sharing information with Arcane.]
Eugene’s sonorous voice was overflowing with trust. There was only one thing Baek Woo-jin could say.
“thank you. “I’ll be waiting.”
**
Two days have passed.
Fortunately, the members of the Medical Swordsman woke up one by one, but Baek Cheon-woong and Mu Young-gaek had not yet woken up.
Baek Woo-jin sat in the special recovery room and watched Baek Cheon-woong and Mu Young-gaek while waiting for Yoo Jin-ah and Seo Gong-myeong to contact him.
“Ugh, you’re not smoking yet.”
The person with the ability to use recovery magic looked at the martial artist’s hand and sighed.
“What happened?”
Baek Woo-jin approached the person with recovery abilities in charge of the Muyoungguest with a worried expression.
“You haven’t opened your right hand since you first came.”
“Right hand?”
Baek Woo-jin looked at Mu Young-gaek’s hand. As she said, the guy clenched his fists.
-…Is it anger?
‘I guess so.’
Mu Yeong-gaek had no one of his own after his teacher’s death. Since he and Baek Cheon-woong of the Medical Swordsman were on the side of the first Mu Young-gaek, they did not seem to loosen their fists due to the anger they suffered.
“I will take revenge, so don’t worry and rest.”
Baek Woo-jin muttered quietly and patted Mu Young-gaek’s hand. Then his hand gently opened and what he was holding in his fist fell to the ground.
“Ear… tendon?”
The key that fell on the ground was the tracking item Gwigeon that Muyeong-gaek had previously shown.
Ugh!
Baek Woo-jin held his earpiece as if he were possessed and pressed the button. A red line coming from the end of the ear canal pierced the wall and pointed to a distant place.
“no way!”
I remembered Moon Joo-young’s words that Mu Young-gaek tried to approach Noegeom without falling down until the end.
Now I understand why he tried so hard to get close to the sword and why only his right hand was intact.
-You thief!
“Younggaek Mu….”
Baek Woo-jin’s eyes became wet with a faint glow. Younggaek Mu risked death to entrust revenge to himself and fired a tracer at Noegeom’s body.
“thanks.”
Baek Woo-jin held Mu Young-gaek’s right hand, which was the only one not covered in bandages.
“Now leave it to me.”
