Episode 243 King of the Dead Sea
– It was a warehouse containing an elixir…
‘So there was even a preservation barrier in place.’
Baek Woo-jin nodded and looked around at the elixirs that filled the entire wall. Considering the location that does not attract attention and the barrier that distracts awareness, I expected a warehouse like this to exist.
“This is…”
I opened the wooden armor right next to me. A yellow pill appeared along with the strong smell of grass. It was Chung Yeong-hwan, a mid-level elixir that was excellent for improving stamina and aura.
“For a criminal guild, they have good elixirs.”
-Most of the elixirs here have a similar level of mana as the single pill.
As the darkness said, the elixirs in the warehouse were intermediate, upper-middle, and lower-middle level elixirs.
“Nothing more advanced than that.”
Baek Woo-jin licked his appetite as if he felt regretful. I hoped there would be one or two high-level elixirs, but even after searching through all of them, I could only find mid- to high-level elixirs.
– Even if you roughly count, there are more than 100, but you are the one who feels regretful here…
“I am naturally a big person.”
-It’s terrible again….
Baek Woo-jin laughed and lifted the elixirs in the warehouse into the air and piled them on the floor.
“Is it thanks to you? “It works well in the air.”
-When I descended into your body, some of the karma I had accumulated would have stayed with you, so of course it was thanks to me.
Although the karma he has accumulated cannot be passed on to others, a little of it may have been passed on to Baek Woo-jin through the means of Kangrim.
“It is a darkness that gives freely.”
-Kahah! Do you understand now? I am working hard to raise you to become a prosecutor.
“I am always grateful. So please eat some of this.”
Baek Woo-jin clapped his hands and then pointed to the pile of elixirs in the center.
-…You don’t seem to appreciate it at all.
“Because it’s real.”
-How many times have I told you that it’s not what I eat, it’s inventory! You bulldozer bastard!
“I heard that ‘Wise Lawyer Life Season 2’ and ‘Ask 1999’, which you enjoyed watching, came out, so I tried to watch them as soon as I got back…” -Can I swallow them
in one bite?
Before hearing Baek Woo-jin’s answer, the darkness put all the elixirs piled up on the floor into its inventory.
-As expected, Woojin thinks about me well!
Heukam sounded like his mouth was already watering with anticipation for the drama.
“Then next time.”
-All next? There’s more?
“of course.”
Baek Woo-jin left the warehouse and used the Sleep Dragon Spirit to hide himself.
“It’s not as clear as here, but there’s a place I looked at.”
-He’s a really amazing guy.
“Please tell me you have excellent observation skills.”
Baek Woo-jin moved without being seen by others and found the barrier on the other side of the elixir warehouse.
When the barrier was opened, a warehouse about twice as large as the elixir warehouse appeared. This time, it was a weapons warehouse storing all kinds of weapons. There were no weapons, including swords and spears.
-Most of them are high-level rare weapons. The ones on the wall in the middle are low-level but unique.
Darkness finished the appraisal in an instant and told Baek Woo-jin the level of the weapon.
“That’s right.”
Baek Woo-jin smiled brightly and put the weapons in the warehouse into the inventory of darkness.
Darkness, which had been acting late because it was annoying, went over to Baek Woo-jin, who said he would show him another old drama, and swallowed the weapons on his own and even cleaned things up inside.
After that, Baek Woo-jin found three more barriers and took all the intermediate martial arts, magic books, gems, and gold bars that were inside them.
Thanks to the fact that the American Association and the guilds protecting Hawaii only searched the large visible buildings and the surrounding land, all important treasures were returned to Baek Woo-jin.
-But was there a need to move in such a hurry?
“Yes. “For two reasons.”
-two?
“The first is because of the American Association.”
-American Association? You guys are the ones fighting, but can they touch the things here?
“I touch you enough. “They are the kind of people who claim that it is their land and that they are taking back what has been damaged.”
I don’t know about the Hawaiian guild, but the American association is probably anxious to steal the information and items contained in it.
However, I had no intention of giving even a single grain of rice to those who did not contribute even the slightest effort.
“As you said, we are the ones who fought, so we can’t hand over a single thing.”
The items I am taking now are not for the sole purpose of monopolizing them all. I will return to Korea and share it with those who fought alongside me today.
-You had a good idea. So what is the second one?
“Because of Zenon.”
-Aren’t they ruined now?
“Maybe so, but maybe not.”
Baek Woo-jin continued speaking with a cold face.
“Didn’t you find something strange in Kim Nam-gil’s words?”
-strange thing?
“You said that he activated his self-destruct ability and prepared to detonate himself in order to kill my father and Lord Daeyeonmun at the same time.”
-Well, he said that before he self-destructed.
“Isn’t that strange? “A guy who created a criminal guild like that and has such incredible power prepared to commit suicide in order to kill himself along with his father Daeyeonmunju?”
As I watched the battle in the body of darkness, I felt a question. Kim Nam-gil said that after fighting with his father and Daeyeonmunju, he prepared a suicide bomb to kill them both at the same time.
Not only his subordinates, but Kim Nam-gil himself also prepared to commit suicide. I thought there was no way a guy of that caliber would commit suicide to kill those two people.
-Then what you’re saying is…
“I’m not sure, but he might be alive.”
-This guy wasn’t an alter ego or anything.
“I know. But there are all sorts of things going on in this world. “The idea is to be prepared.”
I’m not sure that Kim Nam-gil is alive, but the surviving Zenon executives may be moving to take care of these items, or his subordinates may remain in the American Association.
No matter what happens, it is right to get the items here before others do.
-Then it must have been as you wished. You took care of all the important things here.
“yes.”
Baek Woo-jin nodded and walked, but suddenly stopped. He sat down in a daze and looked down at the dark green moss-covered floor.
-also?
“Foreign laws and institutions are installed together.”
The institutions and formations were so cleverly set up that I almost missed it.
“Muyeonggaek is helpful here again.”
Baek Woo-jin laughed as he felt the weight of the earrings in his pocket. Thanks to the explanation about the institution he gave me while chatting, I was able to find out what was strange about this place.
Sigh!
When the grain of the Jinbeop was cut away, the foundation for opening the organ was revealed. I ignored the two traps and stepped on the real foothold at once.
Coogugung.
With a small vibration of the ground, a gum-gum staircase leading down to the basement appeared.
-Is it underground now? Aren’t these guys not a group of criminals but rats?
“Maybe so.”
Baek Woo-jin went down with great anticipation. At the end of the stairs, a huge, dark space appeared, shaped like a dome stadium.
The ground and walls of this place were covered with lightning and full of scars from sword cuts.
“I think it was a training ground for the Thunder Sword.”
-I guess so.
Looking at the scars on the walls and floor, it looked like a space used by Noegeom as a training ground.
“The training facility is spacious and nice.”
Baek Woo-jin walked to the center of the space at a leisurely pace. When I stepped on a tile with a circular pattern in the center, the brain energy of the thunder sword that had been absorbed into my body suddenly arose.
Absolutely!
At the same time, a red thunderbolt occurred on the floor. The lightning that flashed as if it would color the entire cavity sank again and was absorbed into the floor.
-There is something underneath here that contains brain energy.
“I felt it too.”
Baek Woo-jin gently cut the ground with his sword. There was a red bead the size of a volleyball stuck under the floor.
“It looks like you practiced with this bead.”
Although there was brain energy in the beads, there was not much of it left. It seemed to be because most of it was absorbed by the brain sword.
“Hmm…”
I touched the bead, but there was no reaction. There was a powerful brain energy inside, but there was no reaction at all.
-I guess they don’t accept you as their owner?
Heukam chuckled as he watched Baek Woo-jin fiddling with the beads.
“Because this is not the way.”
When Baek Woo-jin injected the brain energy absorbed from Noegeom into the bead, red brain energy emitted along with intense light.
Absolutely!
The brain energy that flashed like it was about to explode was absorbed into Baek Woo-jin’s body through his hands.
Rumbling!
The red thunder energy raced through Baek Woo-jin’s body like a thunder dragon roaming the sky, but it was blocked by Lasadum’s aura that arose from the Danjeon.
Coo coo coo coo!
Although Lasadum’s aura was only a small amount, it overwhelmed the brain energy with its powerful suction power and pure energy.
While Baek Woo-jin was standing, he slowly swirled the brain energy and piled it into the Danjeon.
[You have absorbed the lightning energy of the Thunder Spirit.]
[The aura is greatly restored.]
[The level of the lightning island increases by 2 stages.]
[The power of the lightning island is greatly strengthened.]
As you absorb the lightning energy, it is not enough that the aura is recovered. A message was posted saying that the level of Biroe Island had risen by two levels.
Bpasak.
The orb of brain energy had turned into powder and scattered from his grasp, as if he had exhausted all his strength.
-You’re eating everything like a real poisonous snake. This lucky guy is so greedy that it’s scary.
“Don’t be scared, just look at how strong you have become.”
Baek Woo-jin grinned and pulled out his sword. He wrapped his sword in a huge amount of lightning and fired it at the wall.
Squeeze!
Thirty-five lightning bolts clad in fearsome thunder flags rushed toward the wall.
Quagwagwagwang!
The wall, which had only scratches due to the thunder sword’s attack, collapsed.
-Speed and number have increased by almost 1.5 times. In particular, the power of Noegi is incomparable.
“I like the power the most.”
Baek Woo-jin nodded in satisfaction and put away his sword. As Heukam said, the number of lightning islands increased, the speed increased, and the power of the lightning increased by almost three times.
It was powerful enough to use Lightning Island for finishing purposes rather than as a check.
“uh? “That…”
Baek Woo-jin approached the wall that collapsed after being hit by a lightning bolt. There was a small hole under the space where I collapsed.
-Please don’t have anything. Please….
Ignoring the prayers of darkness, I removed the stone and there was a space big enough for one person to fit in, and there were five small bottles inside.
“Jeoksahwa?”
Baek Woo-jin widened his eyes when he saw the bottle containing red flowers. A red flower curled up like a coiled snake. It was a high-level elixir of red death.
I quickly looked at the elixirs next to it. The remaining four were all high-grade elixirs.
-Oh, no! How many are you eating today? What kind of drama is this? Why are you doing this!
“The biggest jackpot hit here.”
Baek Woo-jin smiled and took the elixirs. I was really lucky to get five advanced elixirs thanks to using Lightning Island as a test.
Baek Woo-jin hummed as he left the Noegeom training center and went upstairs.
“Baek Woo-jin!”
“You guy!”
Baek Yeon-hwi, Yoon Woo-min, and Hwang Byeong-hoon were waiting for him above.
“Why did you come here without stopping?”
“Why is this guy walking around when he’s not in good shape!”
Baek Yeon-hwi and Hwang Byeong-hun looked at Baek Woo-jin with worried eyes.
“You have to take care of what you need before other people take it away.”
“Anyway, I can’t stop this guy like you.”
When Baek Woo-jin waved his right arm and grinned, Baek Yeon-hwi burst out laughing as if it was absurd.
“Woojin, what you showed me last time….”
Yoon Woomin, who had been quiet in the background, spoke for the first time.
“Ugh…”
Baek Woo-jin broke into a cold sweat with an awkward expression. I had not yet thought about what to say about the coming of darkness.
‘You used too much force. ‘Just do it in moderation!’
-Why all the fuss now!
‘What should I say….’
While Baek Woo-jin was desperately thinking, Yoon Woo-min came up to him and tapped him on the shoulder.
“It’s not like a demon’s spell or curse, is it?”
“yes? No! Absolutely not!”
“Then that’s it.”
Yoon Woo-min shook his head and laughed.
“I trust you. “Tell me later when you’re ready.”
“Ah…”
Baek Woo-jin raised his head and saw Yoon Woo-min and Baek Yeon-hwi and Hwang Byeong-hun. All three people had faces full of trust, as if they believed in themselves.
“Don’t worry, we’ll explain it appropriately to the others.”
Baek Woo-jin was speechless. He was so thankful for the trust the three people showed in him that he couldn’t think of what to say.
-You are blessed in many ways.
‘okay.’
They risked their lives to fight for him and believed him without saying a word even when he might have doubts. I was just truly grateful.
“thank you.”
Baek Woo-jin bowed his head with sincerity, and the three people greeted him with smiles.
**
The talented people of the Korean Association found information about Zeno’s branch through a thorough search.
The World Association, along with major guilds, simultaneously attacked over 100 Zeno branches.
Thanks to that quick action, we were able to completely destroy about 50 branches of Zeno.
Unfortunately, about half of the Zenon branches were already in a panic as the information had leaked out.
However, because it was a huge harvest, many people cheered.
However, Baek Woo-jin was not there.
People thought he was recovering from an injury, but he made another move on his own.
While everyone was paying attention to the destruction of the Zenon branch, Baek Woo-jin focused on the victims who had been harmed by Zenon and the casualties of this battle.
He gave most of the elixir obtained from Zeno’s headquarters to his colleagues, sold the weapons and magic book jewels at auction, and distributed them to the families of the dead and the injured victims.
Thanks to the spread of Baek Woo-jin’s good deeds, the value of his name and the title of Hyeopje has skyrocketed all over the world.
Now, the name Baek Woo-jin has reached a level where it is not inferior to Shingeombaekga.
[Cooperative Prosecutor Baek Woo-jin’s good deeds were different from those of other talented people. Prosecutor Baek Woo-jin was moved by the heart of Baek Woo-jin, who gave everything he had earned to the victims and the injured. People continued to donate, and the level of favorability toward talented people also increased significantly. This is a good influence….]
-It’s damn good.
While waiting for the drama, Darkness watched Baek Woo-jin’s special broadcast and chuckled.
-Everything is nonsense! The advanced elixir hasn’t even been released, and there’s plenty of gold left over! This guy doesn’t even know how much he got there!
“Why are you angry again?”
-Those guys don’t know your true nature, a ghost, and think of you as a heavenly god! Cooperation? You’re pooping!
Baek Woo-jin chuckled as he watched TV from the corner of his eye. I wasn’t hoping for something like that, but it ended up being a very good result.
It was good that his reputation had increased, but he was also happy that other people were helping victims and casualties.
-no way! It’s so boring! Let’s do a drama quickly!
[This is breaking news.]
As the darkness grunted, a news announcer appeared on the screen with breaking news subtitles.
[A huge sinkhole occurred in Incheon. I’ll show you the screen right now.]
-Sinkhole?
As if to answer the question of darkness, the screen changed to show a reporter in a helicopter.
[This is reporter Kim Dae-hoon. A huge sinkhole occurred near Incheon City Hall.]
The camera angle followed the reporter’s hand and captured the sinkhole below.
-Oh….
“Gasp!”
Baek Woo-jin widened his eyes. It was a sinkhole of enormous size. I’ve seen many sinkholes, but this was my first time seeing one of such size. It was almost the size of a soccer field.
-That’s a sinkhole. It’s so big….
“I’ve never seen anything of that size before.” “The damage was enormous… huh?”
As I was looking at the sinkhole, something crawled out of the black hole. It was a pale-skinned monster with blood all over its body.
“Undead?”
