Episode 103 Island in the East Sea (2)
“Competition?”
Baek Woo-jin frowned when he saw the word “competition” written on the mission sheet.
“That’s right. “It is said that not only we, but also Daeyeonmoon and Lucas are participating in the attack on the island that appeared this time.”
Moon Joo-young nodded.
His face was full of worry about this mission.
“Capturing the island is important, but the real mission you must do is to be far ahead of Daeyeonmun and Lucas while conquering the island.”
“okay. “It says so.”
Baek Woo-jin smiled as he glanced over the contents of the mission statement.
I could tell at a glance who had given this mission.
“Are three of the four major guilds participating? “How about defeat?”
“They say the enemy is not moving.”
“Right.”
It is said that the enemy who is close to him is not coming, and Lucas and Daeyeon-moon, who do not have a good relationship with each other, are coming. Rather, I felt at ease.
“You can go around and beat me up with peace of mind. By the way, who said you were coming from Lucas?”
“It is said that the wizards of the Green Tower are moving from Lucas and the Thunder Dog is coming from the Great Gate.”
There are people with lightning magic abilities in the Green Tower, and the Thunder Dog of Daeyeonmun is a spear expert who uses brain attribute aura.
Both of them are experts at dealing with water attribute monsters.
“Other guilds also have pride at stake, so we won’t make a hasty move.”
“That’s natural.”
“So, the attack on the island itself will not be difficult, but the task of performing superiorly will not be easy.”
Moon Joo-young’s expression became even darker.
Baek Woo-jin was strong, but he had never faced a water attribute monster before, and his opponent specialized in dealing with water attribute monsters, so he couldn’t help but be worried.
“Tell them you will accept the mission.”
Baek Woo-jin returned the mission statement to Moon Ju-young with a calm expression.
“Are you sure you don’t mind? “The level of the monsters is so high that it will be difficult to take the medical team with them.”
“That doesn’t mean you can’t get bitten. “This was given by my father himself.”
Baek Cheon-hwa told me to experience various things for my mission next year. This mission will be one of those experiences.
“That’s true, but…”
“It’s okay, trust me.”
“Hmm…”
Baek Woo-jin’s words were firm yet confident, and Moon Ju-young’s face was filled with admiration.
‘It seems like you’ve changed again.’
As the saying goes, Baek Woo-jin’s strength and character seemed to grow every time I saw him.
“All right.”
Moon Ju-young bowed his head and returned with the mission book.
-You’ve never faced a water attribute monster before.
‘Is that so?’
-Water attribute monsters’ abilities increase near water. If the people competing with you are wind wizards and people who use brain attribute aurors, it will be difficult for them to be successful. It’s no different from a natural enemy.
‘are you okay. ‘It’s not easy to conquer that island.’
-hmm? What’s the problem?
‘okay. First of all, there is a problem with the island itself. The biggest problem is…’
Baek Woo-jin flicked his fingers like a snake’s head.
‘The king of snakes appears there.’
* * *
In the special training room of the main gate, a blond man who appeared to be in his mid-30s was lying on his back.
Looking at his neat training uniform, I could see that he was not resting after training, but was sleeping from the beginning.
Sweet.
The door to the practice room opened and Dokdon, wearing a pig mask, came in.
“Execution of brain dog.”
“hmm?”
At Dokdon’s call, the brain dog that was lying down opened one eye.
“What’s wrong with you coming to visit me?”
The brain dog yawned loudly and quenched his appetite.
“A mission has been given to my brother.”
“mission?”
“This is a strategy to attack an island that appeared in the East Sea.”
“Why are you telling that?”
Light flashed in the half-closed eyes of the thunder dog.
Dokdon didn’t like him so he rarely came close.
It was not an ordinary thing to come and deliver a mission in person.
“Please take me there too.”
“what?”
“I want to go on that mission too.”
“Hmm…”
The brain dog looked up at the poisoned pig, scratched its chin, and then closed its eyes again.
“Just go. “It’s annoying to move.”
“I said I wanted to take charge, but I was turned down.”
“refuse? No way…”
“This is a mission given directly by Master.”
“Ah…”
The brain dog ruffled his hair.
If the order was given directly by the master, there was no right to veto it. I absolutely had to go.
“He told me to kill more monsters than anyone else on that island.”
“Ah, annoying!”
While the brain dog was irritated, he saw Dokdon.
“But why do you want to go? “I understand that you don’t like moving, either?”
“There’s someone who owes a debt.”
“debt? To whom? no. it’s okay.”
The brain dog made an expression of annoyance and closed its eyes.
“I will take you away, so you fight. “What time is it?”
“The attack begins at 8 a.m. tomorrow.”
“Then we can leave at 8 o’clock.”
“…I’ll come after I’m ready.”
Noegyeon said crazy things about leaving at 8, but Dokdon just nodded.
This person was a person who never kept his promises.
Probably not even 8 o’clock will be observed.
“Like that.”
The brain dog just lay down and waved its hand.
Dokdon bowed his head and left the practice room.
A cold, murderous breath flowed from Dokdon, who had closed the door.
“Baek Woo-jin….”
* * *
Baek Woo-jin arrived in Sokcho with Moon Ju-young.
The sea front was filled with talented people from associations and various guilds.
They were waiting here not to attack the island, but to block approaching or escaping monsters.
“Is that an island?”
As I focused my aura, I saw an unfamiliar island surrounded by thick fog.
“That’s right.”
“It’s very crowded.”
Although the inside of the island could not be seen because of the fog, the number of monsters moving around the island was no joke.
-Is that a mantaroon? Long time no see.
Darkness made an interesting voice as it saw a huge stingray floating on the sea.
‘There are also Besk and Shakaris.’
In addition, there were monsters with shark heads and fish-themed monsters holding swords and shields.
“The fog was so thick that it was difficult to properly determine the situation and numbers inside, but it is said that there were already more than 400.”
“Have you ever heard of a boss-level monster appearing?”
“There was no such information.”
“Right.”
Baek Woo-jin laughed slightly.
It seems that no one knows his information now.
If so, he was ahead of everyone else.
-Is this Serpent the King of Snakes you mentioned?
‘Well, that’s fine.’
-Smirking guy! Because there is nothing to say all at once.
No matter what the darkness said, Baek Woo-jin only smiled faintly.
“Lucas is here, but Daeyeonmun hasn’t arrived yet?”
Although wizards wearing green robes and association staff preparing to move to the island were visible, the Great Yeonmun’s abilities were nowhere to be found.
Even 20 minutes after the scheduled departure time, Daeyeonmun did not arrive.
“That prosecutor.”
The association’s manager, whose complexion turned pale, approached Baek Woo-jin.
“They say it will be about 20 minutes late at Daeyeonmun.”
“What did you say the reason was?”
“I was only informed without being told the reason for this. sorry.”
“The officer in charge has nothing to be sorry about. All right.”
“Thank you for your understanding.”
The officer who bowed his head to Baek Woo-jin also bowed his head to Lucas’ wizards.
“I heard that Brain Dog is a terrible lazy person who only cares about himself. I guess it’s true.”
“It is said that in the past, when waiting for a crack, there was a time when they arrived after the crack had opened.”
“He’s crazy.”
Baek Woo-jin burst out laughing.
No matter how much you can wait for the crack, you must wait at least 3 hours before the crack opens.
Arriving when the rift opened, he wasn’t your average crazy guy.
-Those who can’t meet not only promises but also important times like this should have their heads smashed.
‘I know. ‘I wish I had the chance.’
* * *
20 minutes more than the officer in charge had mentioned, and 1 hour after the original departure time, the military personnel of Daeyeonmun arrived.
“If I had known it would be this late, I should have just left it.”
“That’s right. “They are ignorant people.”
Moon Joo-young raised his blood pressure and glared at the brain dog.
-Is that dog holding a spear over there a brain dog?
‘okay.’
-You look pissed from the start. What? Are you yawning?
As the darkness said, the brain dog did not apologize, but instead stood at the back and yawned openly.
Since the age and strength of the thunder dogs here were the highest, the association staff and Lucas’ magicians frowned, but no one said anything.
“He’s really crazy.”
Baek Woo-jin smiled coldly and walked toward the warriors at the main gate.
“Baek Woo-jin?”
“What happened…”
He walked past the confused warriors at the main gate and stood in front of the thunder dog with a bored expression.
“Why are you late?”
Everyone fell silent at Baek Woo-jin’s straightforward words.
“Oh, I’m so annoyed. “What are you?”
The brain dog glanced at Baek Woo-jin with eyes filled with irritation.
“This is Baek Woo-jin from Shingeombaekga.”
“Baek Woo-jin. okay. You were Baek Woo-jin. Why are you late? Are you late because you overslept? Do you have any problem?”
The brain dog giggled as if teasing Baek Woo-jin.
He opened his mouth with disgusting freedom.
“As expected, he was a cub.”
A cold voice flowed from Baek Woo-jin’s mouth.
I tried to be polite, just in case, but it was just trash.
“How dare you!”
“I dare say it’s at your level.”
Baek Woo-jin snorted at Dokdon’s words.
On a topic that came up late, my words and actions were like those of my boss, so I got very annoyed.
“Are you crazy…”
“Stop.”
When Dokdon tried to step forward, Noegyeon stretched out his hand and stopped him.
“Isn’t there something you can see just because your name is flying?”
“I can clearly see that you are an animal that doesn’t even know about time commitments? “I guess the nickname “Beast” wasn’t given for nothing.”
Baek Woo-jin looked straight into the brain dog’s eyes and laughed.
If he had at least apologized when he arrived, he wouldn’t have come forward like this.
For this guy, even the respect and treatment of a senior were a waste.
“Huh…”
Red blood was shining in the thunder dog’s half-open eyes.
“This is a guy who was consumed by his reputation.”
The brain dog’s eyes began to become tinged with madness.
Sparks flew from his body and a vicious spirit flowed out.
“Ugh….”
“Ugh!”
The thunder dog did not pay any attention to the warriors at the main gate next to him and unleashed a tingling force at random.
“I think it’s a dog. “You’re making a fuss.”
Even Dok-don broke into a cold sweat, but Baek Woo-jin summoned the Aura of Rasadum and lightly dispersed his brain energy.
“what!”
The brain dog felt a shock that completely woke him up.
The brain-attribute auror had a force and strength so strong that even a stronger person than him could not withstand it, but Baek Woo-jin was unaffected by it.
‘This young guy is not below me?’
It was absurd.
I knew that Baek Woo-jin had solved some big cases, but I never even thought that he was on a level that rivaled his own.
“Why do we want to do it here?”
Baek Woo-jin smiled coolly and placed his hand on the handle of the sword.
-Well done! It feels refreshing after a long time.
Darkness agreed and laughed.
“Let me help you understand the topic!”
Thunder Dog pulled out the two javelins he was wearing on his back.
“Stop it.”
In an imminent situation, a middle-aged man wearing a green robe intervened between the two. It was Park Seong-woo, the leader of the wizards from Green Tower.
“There is something that needs to be resolved, so why not do it after the fight is over?”
“All right.”
Baek Woo-jin looked at Park Seong-woo for a moment and then nodded.
“Are you running away?”
“escape?”
Baek Woo-jin snorted.
“I don’t want to be on the same level as an animal like you. Come on after this is over. “I’ll deal with you as much as I want.”
“You be careful.”
“You watch the back of your head. “I’m going to break it.”
Baek Woo-jin moved to the place where the movement magic was completed without even looking back.
“hey.”
The brain dog glared at Baek Woo-jin’s back and called Dokdon.
“Oh yeah.”
Dokdon nodded with an ecstatic expression.
“The guy you’re targeting. “That’s him, right?”
“…That’s right.”
“Then I’m sorry.”
The brain dog smiled a bizarre smile that looked like a murderous evil.
“That guy is mine.”
* * *
“Master. Are you sure you don’t mind?”
Moon Joo-young asked with a dark complexion.
“are you okay. “Because I’m not afraid of mindless beasts.”
-Your personality is becoming more and more likable.
Darkness chuckled and laughed.
‘You said it before. The stronger you become, the freer you will be. ‘Now I think I know what it is.’
If it had been at the 4th or 5th level in the past, there wouldn’t have been anything to say even if the brain dog was a day late.
Because I had stronger strength and confidence, I was able to challenge the brain dog.
-Become stronger and challenge your father. I feel frustrated when you only go to Gajujeon.
‘okay. ‘I have to do it no matter what.’
Baek Woo-jin clenched his fists as if making a promise.
“Everyone, please gather at the magic circle!”
At the words of the officer in charge, Baek Woo-jin, Moon Ju-young, and Lucas Daeyeonmun’s talented people climbed onto the large magic circle.
“I say it again. Because the fog was thick, the situation inside was not fully clear. First of all, the island’s climate is more tropical than summer, so it will be humid and hot. Please be careful as there may be poisonous insects or poisonous plants. And the types of monsters…”
Since the main statement was not heard, the officer simply recited the explanations he had already given.
“Once transmitted, monsters will be in front. Please be careful. I’ll say it again, but because of the fog, it’s hard to understand the situation properly, so always be careful…” “
Okay, so send it quickly.”
The brain dog gripped its spear and growled.
His words were directed at the person in charge, but his eyes were glaring at Baek Woo-jin.
“Okay then, I’ll go. “Start transmitting!”
At the signal from the officer in charge, the association’s wizards began chanting.
The magic circle on the floor flashed and everyone on it was transported to the edge of the island.
“uh? “What the hell!”
“This is the island we saw?”
The voices of those with abilities who arrived on the island were trembling with embarrassment, and their eyes were shaking violently.
This is because the situation on the island was completely different from what they expected.
“Hmm…”
While everyone was swallowing their dry saliva and hardening their expressions, Baek Woo-jin smiled.
– Are you saying this is the problem you were talking about?
‘Yes, as expected.’
