Episode 124 Proxy Duel
[An unexpected quest has arrived.]
Be the first to participate in the proxy duel that will be held in a week and defeat all the talented players.
Condition: Be the first to participate and win all duels.
Reward: 1600 points. Sudden compensation.
‘The goal is to go out first and kill three other team members.’
-Then you have to beat 9 people.
‘I can do that much.’
Baek Woo-jin immediately accepted the quest.
‘It’s perfect for completing quests and sparring.’
Sparring with a strong person is a good training method to grow yourself. I can accept any quest like this.
-The weak guy is in form.
‘You’re going to get stabbed in the back by that weak bastard someday.’
-Come back 100 years later.
’10 years is enough.’
-Uhm….
The saying that darkness lasts for 10 years somehow bothered me.
It seemed like that lucky guy with the blessings of the system on his back would really reach his level within 10 years.
“Branch manager. proxy duel. “You haven’t drawn up a roster yet, right?”
“We created it, but since the prosecutor is participating, we have to reorganize the staff.”
“Then please make me first.”
“Yes?”
Yujinah turned her head with eyes as big as a flower lantern.
“The prosecutor first?”
“I will be the first to step in and finish everything.”
“I don’t mind, but are you sure you don’t mind?”
“If you’re going to work, you have to make sure to do it. “If the unknown swordsman who comes out first defeats all the talented players, wouldn’t that improve his form and the branch manager’s reputation?”
“Of course it is!”
Yujinah clenched her fists as if she was excited just thinking about it.
-Are you going to wear it here again?
‘It’s good to be able to see what you’re doing.’
-It’s really amazing. amazing!
Baek Woo-jin was taking advantage of the fact that he was the first duelist due to a quest to score points on Yoo Jin-ah.
He was a guy who had a sharp mind for things that benefited him.
“I will take care of everything, so please completely hide the identity of the second and third duelist.”
“thank you so much!”
Eugene lowered his head with glaring eyes.
I was so happy to see that helping Baek Woo-jin, even though it was difficult, was paying off.
‘As expected, it was a good thing I chose this person.’
I promised once again that I would help Baek Woo-jin in any way he could from now on.
“You don’t have to be grateful. “Of course we have to do this.”
Baek Woo-jin smiled kindly.
-Tsk! A weasel-like guy…
If you look at him from the side, he may seem like a sweet and considerate person, but the darkness that knows everything just clicks his tongue as if he is annoyed.
“Prosecutor. “What name or title would you like to use as an alias?”
“Please call it a whole sword.”
Baek Woo-jin thought for a moment and then opened his mouth.
“Ah, it means he is a master of the sword!”
“no.”
Baek Woo-jin shook his head and stood up.
“It means a prosecutor who hits you in the back.”
-Crazy guy….
* * *
When Baek Woo-jin returned to the family home, he encountered an unexpected person in front of his room.
“Bugalord?”
Baek Cheon-ung, the deputy head, smiled bitterly and waved his hand.
“Isn’t it training time for the sword belt?”
“I ordered you to rest today.”
Baek Cheon-woong looked at Baek Woo-jin without saying anything.
“What happened….”
“Are you okay?”
It was a short word, but it contained sincere concern for Baek Woo-jin.
“Hmm…”
Baek Woo-jin’s nose wrinkled as he felt Baek Cheon-woong’s sincerity. My heart felt tingly and warm.
“I’m fine. thank you.”
Baek Woo-jin took a moment to gather his emotions and smiled awkwardly.
“uh?”
Baek Woo-jin’s frown frowned as he made eye contact with Baek Cheon-woong. This was because his complexion was white and bloodless.
“Have you by any chance been to see your father?”
“How did you know?”
“Your face doesn’t look good.”
“Is that so…”
Baek Cheonwoong sighed with a confused look on his face.
“I couldn’t communicate with your father at all. “The monster in my heart has grown bigger than my strength.”
“….”
Baek Woojin also thought the same thing, so he nodded without saying a word.
“I’m sorry at times like these, but I have to speak up because these are the moments. You have to do it. “You are the only one who can create a family different from the current Baek family.”
Baek Cheon-woong stood in front of Baek Woo-jin and grabbed his shoulder.
“I will have your back even if it means risking my life. “Do what you have to do, what you want to do.”
Baek Woo-jin could feel pure faith and trust in Baek Cheon-woong’s eyes. Just looking at it warmed my heart.
“thank you. “I won’t let you down.”
Baek Woo-jin smiled softly and answered.
* * *
Baek Woo-jin went down to the 7th basement floor of a high-rise building in Gangnam with Yoo Jin-ah while wearing the mask of a demon.
The 6th and 7th basement floors were used for duels and consisted of a duel arena and audience seats.
“I have to go down to draw the brackets, so you can watch from here.”
“All right.”
“Please pray that I pick a good number. Hehehe.”
Yoo Jin-ah guided Baek Woo-jin to the audience and then went down to the duel arena.
In addition to her, there were seven other Black Market executives in the duel arena who had come to take the final test.
-It’s old-fashioned, like pulling a ball out of a box.
Heukam clicked his tongue when he saw the candidates for deputy general manager pulling numbered balls from a small box.
‘Originally, old things are fun.’
-What does the young guy know?
‘You know better than an old guy.’
-I told you not to call me an old man!
‘Hmm…’
Baek Woo-jin left the angry darkness alone and looked around the audience. In addition to himself, there were other fighters sitting in the audience who were about to fight.
‘Everyone is of a high standard.’
The mana felt from warriors and wizards was considerable. Everyone was far beyond the normal level.
– Baek Woo-jin Look over there.
‘see. It was a black cow coming from Daeyeonmun.’
The black cow was seen stuck in the small audience with its large size. As Yu Jin-ah had told me in advance, Daeyeon-moon was also among the opponents.
Behind the black cow sat a monk with a snake tattoo on his neck and a white-skinned beauty holding a whip.
-Who is next to the salt temple? Is it pretty?
‘Baekgye. Of the zodiac, it is the chicken. huh?’
A man with a dirty look appeared next to the salt temple. Hwang-ho had a dirty personality rather than a dirty look.
‘That guy was in charge.’
Baek Woo-jin smiled. It seemed like it would be a more interesting duel than I thought.
‘I’m going to have some fun today.’
-okay. A duel with that guy would be fun to watch.
‘I guess so. uh?’
Baek Woo-jin’s eyes lit up when he saw the person who entered the audience through the left aisle.
“It was nice to meet you.”
* * *
“We are number 1 and we are joined by the Chuncheon branch manager.”
Eugene showed a sullen expression while showing the number 1 bead.
“I wanted to pick the last number, but it’s a shame.”
“no. Well done! “It’s perfect.”
Baek Woo-jin was smiling brightly as if he was having fun.
“Why do you like it so much? “Do you know anyone?”
“I know someone.”
“Well, the first one from the Chuncheon branch is Jun-gu Lee, a level 5 deacon, and the second one is… Ah!”
Yoo Jin-ah, seeing her second opponent, clapped her hands.
“The second person over there is someone I have a connection with.”
“I watched the broadcast too! I heard you two sparred a lot! However, if the broadcast is true, it will be a very difficult fight…”
“That won’t happen, so don’t worry.”
Baek Woo-jin reassured Yoo Jin-ah with a confident smile.
[Let’s start the first match. Seongnam and Chuncheon branches participating in the duel are requested to come to the duel venue.]
“Let’s go.”
“Ah yes!”
Baek Woo-jin came down to the duel arena with Yoo Jin-ah.
Currently, his appearance and title of “Great Sword” were unknown, so he was not receiving attention from people.
“Baeksan, Tonggeom, the first fighter of the Seongnam branch, and Jungu Lee, the first fighter of the Chuncheon branch, Pyo Hyeong-gwon, please come to the duel arena!”
Baek Woo-jin and Lee Jun-gu came to the duel arena.
“That guy named Tonggeom is completely unknown. “If the criminal is hiding his identity, why are you doing this?”
Lee Jun-gu frowned and questioned the host.
“As long as the Seongnam branch manager brought him here through his connections, it doesn’t matter whether he is a criminal or a murderer.”
The host shook his head and said there was no problem.
“Tsk. “It’s not black for nothing.”
Lee Jun-gu looked at the host and Baek Woo-jin once, then clicked his tongue.
“You two, please come to the center.”
At the host’s words, Lee Jun-gu and Baek Woo-jin moved to the center of the duel arena.
“During a duel, all actions except murder are permitted. “If you kill your opponent, you will lose immediately, so please be careful.”
“i get it.”
“All right.”
After hearing the two people’s answers, the host nodded and left the duel arena.
“Then let the first match begin!”
When the host raised his hand, a huge gong rang and the duel began.
“Seeing as he’s hiding his identity, he probably isn’t a normal guy. “I’ll finish it quickly.”
Lee Jun-gu approached, turning his wrist. Baek Woo-jin just stood still and looked at him.
“What a waste of time!”
Lee Jun-gu rushed at Baek Woo-jin and stretched out a fist full of auras.
“omg!”
But the place where he stabbed his fist was empty space.
Bye!
Lee Jun-gu, who tried to look back, was struck forward by the impact of the back of his head being crushed.
“Kkuek!”
Lee Jun-gu hit his forehead on the floor of the duel arena and lost consciousness.
Crack.
Baek Woo-jin appeared behind Lee Jun-gu, dusting off his sword sheath. He struck Lee Jun-gu in the back of the head with the sheath of his sword.
“The winner is Baeksan.”
The host shouted the winner’s name in a trembling voice.
“The second match will take place in 10 minutes.”
“I just do it.”
Baek Woo-jin interrupted the host.
“yes?”
“I haven’t even warmed up yet. “There is no need for rest.”
“Well, I understand.”
The moderator, who asked his boss for permission, nodded.
“Then, Jeong Geun-ho, the second duelist of the Chuncheon branch and the divinity of the spirit world, please come out.”
At the host’s words, Jeong Geun-ho, who was behind the Chuncheon branch manager, came up with an expression full of pride.
-How about it? Look at my face?
‘He’s a really great guy with confidence.’
Baek Woo-jin shook his head. The person who surprised him was Jeong Geun-ho.
“It won’t be difficult.”
Jeong Geun-ho looked at Baek Woo-jin and laughed. He had an arrogant face that was incomparable to when he was next to Yoon Woo-min.
“I was good at taking advantage of my opponent’s guard, but it doesn’t work on me. “It would be better to draw your sword from the beginning.”
Jeong Geun-ho was holding the Gaetong Pom, making a heavy bass sound that he does not normally use.
-Wow, I really can’t see it. Grab that thing quickly!
Darkness became extremely annoyed and began swinging his sword in the air.
“The second duel begins!”
“hot!”
As soon as the duel started, Jeong Geun-ho started walking around Baek Woo-jin.
The level of training has improved considerably.
“It will be difficult to follow with your eyes. If you abstain… “Hehehe!”
Baek Woo-jin moved behind Jeong Geun-ho, who was relaxing, and hit him on the back of the head.
“You bastard! dare!”
Jeong Geun-ho gritted his teeth and stood up and stepped back. Green and red lights appeared in both his hands.
Hahaha!
From his right hand, Burn Fly, a mid-level spirit of flame with the appearance of a butterfly, appeared, and from his left hand, Jin, a mid-level spirit of wind.
“I tried to treat you lightly, but you ended up digging your own grave!”
Jeong Geun-ho’s expression turned arrogant again. It was a face that said he could end the duel right away if he wanted to.
“Spirit Master! “Get it over with right away!”
The head of the Chuncheon branch waved his hand and cheered for Jeong Geun-ho.
“We’re both intermediate level students, so we’ve grown quite a bit.”
“When are you saying something like that just because you saw me?”
“Are you okay where you got hit in the back of the head?”
“I only hit him once…”
“Not just now, but in the place where I was hit before.”
“Previous? “What kind of nonsense are you talking about… Wow!”
Jeong Geun-ho pointed at Baek Woo-jin with his finger shaking. There is only one person who has hit him in the back in the past.
“You can’t believe it…”
Jeong Geun-ho’s eyes trembled. The smile of the man named Baeksan was very similar to the monster that had tormented him before.
“long time no see.”
“Ugh!”
Seeing that it had been a long time, I was certain that the guy in front of me was the monster who was beating the back of his head like a drum.
“They say that when you sparred with me, you achieved equal numbers.”
“Ah….”
Jeong Geun-ho’s upper and lower teeth clashed like crazy.
Since it was the first broadcast, I was bragging without realizing it, but I never imagined that Baek Woo-jin would see it.
“Let’s see if we really reach the same number.”
Baek Woo-jin approached with a smile.
“Now wait a minute!”
Jeong Geun-ho raised his hand. When I saw Baek Woo-jin’s smile, I felt like my heart was falling.
When that guy smiles like that, he stops stabbing you only after you pass out.
Baek Woo-jin is a monster among monsters who has surpassed level 7 with his swordsmanship alone. You can never win. I had to abstain.
“Yes, moderator. Ki….”
[If you abstain, you are really behind.]
Jeong Geun-ho, who was raising his hand to abstain, immediately lowered his hand after hearing Baek Woo-jin’s call.
“Spirit Master. Fighting! Let’s get an all-kill!”
The Chuncheon branch manager raised his fist and encouraged Jeong Geun-ho, not knowing what he was thinking.
“We’re fighting, but it seems like we’re all screwed, but…”
Jeong Geun-ho muttered with a pale face.
