Episode 160 Island of the Wind God (2)
Baek Woo-jin and Moon Ju-yeong arrived in Samcheok and were waiting for Yoon Woo-min and Jang Kyeong-ha to come out to meet them.
“young master.”
Moon Ju-young quietly approached Baek Woo-jin’s side while observing Mu Young-gaek’s notice.
“Who is that person? It was only later that I realized that my bracelet had been taken off. “Are you a super expert?”
“No, he’s a thief.”
-Among thieves, he is a top thief.
“Are you a thief? Is that really why you called it an occupational disease?”
“that’s right. “That guy is a martial artist.”
“Muyoungguek!”
Moon Joo-young screamed without realizing it.
Mu Young-gaek is a thief whose face, age, and abilities are all shrouded in mystery.
I couldn’t believe that such a thief was following Baek Woo-jin right next to me.
“What on earth happened?”
“It’s no big deal. “Before, with Jeong Geun-ho…”
Baek Woo-jin briefly explained to Moon Ju-young what had happened so far.
“Oh my…”
Moon Ju-young looked at Baek Woo-jin with mesmerized eyes.
It was so surprising that they arrested Dae-young Park and corrected Young-gaek Mu.
Even in places where he was not present, Baek Woo-jin was performing so well that he could not keep his mouth shut.
“The elixir that was given to me and the medical school was not from the black market, but was from Mu Younggaek. I had no idea something like this existed. “You create storms wherever you go.”
“What is a storm?”
Baek Woo-jin smiled and approached Mu Young-gaek, who was looking at the sea.
“How did you take off your bracelet earlier?”
“yes?”
“That guy’s level of force is well above level 6, so how did he fool his senses and steal things?”
“Oh, that’s it.”
Muyoung-gaek grinned and raised his hand.
“Because of these gloves and my hand skills.”
“Gloves?”
“Do you remember that when I ran away from Daeyoung Park’s room, I used telekinesis to open the door?”
Baek Woo-jin nodded.
Muyounggaek opened the door with telekinesis and escaped through the window.
“This glove is capable of doing that. “There is a usage limit, but it doesn’t use aura or mana, so even experts don’t notice.”
“So you’re saying that you touched the bracelet with that ability and then removed it with your sleight of hand?”
“you’re right. But there is one more important factor.”
“Important factor?”
“I’m letting my guard down.”
Moo Young-gaek turned his head to Moon Ju-young and blinked.
“You might think that the more powerful a person is, the more difficult it is to steal things, but in reality, it’s a little different. The strong usually let down their guard because they know they are strong. “I especially don’t care about thieves.”
“Of course it is.”
“It’s especially easy for people who are overconfident and think they are strong. In the past, there was a time when I blatantly stole something from a person with level 7 abilities. haha!”
Muyounggaek burst into laughter as he told his heroic story.
“Ugh….”
Moon Joo-young blushed as if she was embarrassed.
-After all, an expert is an expert. The problem is that that professional work is theft.
‘Maybe that theft will help.’
Stealing Moon Joo-young’s bracelet right under his nose is something no one can do.
As expected, getting a Muyoungguek didn’t seem like a bad choice.
Ugh!
A ship suddenly appeared in the empty sea.
On the boat, Jang Kyung-ha was waving his hands vigorously.
“Priests!”
* * *
Baek Woo-jin, guided by Jang Kyeong-ha, arrived at Hanseondo where Unitas and Yoon Woo-min were staying.
“How did you set up a camp on the sea?”
Baek Woo-jin’s eyes lit up as if he was surprised.
The camp was not installed on the island but also in the sea surrounding the island. That’s why it seemed like a boat suddenly appeared.
“I borrowed the power of the summoned beasts.”
When Jang Gyeong-ha lifted his finger, a small crucian carp came to mind.
“This guy can hold the owner’s mana in its mouth and release it in the air. “I used that to install Jin.”
Jang Gyeong-ha smiled brightly as he stroked the head of the blue crucian carp.
“It’s been a while since I watched TV, and I saw that the priest has become a huge figure. “The name value is no joke.”
“Not to that extent.”
“Not really. Isn’t there more than one or two things that have happened so far? There will be more times to benefit from priests in the future. Please take care of me from now on….”
“If you came, why don’t you come in quickly and sit down?”
Yun Woo-min was smiling on the hill of a small port.
His smile was shining faintly with joy at seeing Baek Woo-jin after a long time.
“Elder!”
“Please show the island to the guests.”
“I also want to talk to the priest…”
“I guess we’ll just chat. “Do that later.”
“Ah…”
Jang Kyeong-ha lowered his shoulders and entered the island with Moon Ju-young and Mu Young-gaek.
“Have you been well so far?”
Baek Woo-jin went up to where Yoon Woo-min was and bowed his head.
“It’s a very grand greeting.”
Yoon Woo-min smiled hollowly and motioned for people to come closer.
“Your skills have improved again. No, I’ve grown to a point where I can’t express it in those words.”
Yoon Woo-min’s eyes were colored with surprise.
Even though it’s been a while since I saw Baek Woo-jin, I could never have imagined this level of growth.
It felt like the growth potential was on a rocket ship.
“This is the first time I’ve seen someone get stronger as quickly as you. “Your father, who is now the head of the Shingeombaek family, wasn’t at your level when he was that age.”
“There is no need to lift it like that.”
“What would you do if I let you fly? I’m serious. “I’ve never seen anyone get stronger as quickly as you.”
Yoon Woo-min said with confidence.
I have seen many talented people, but there has not been a single one with the growth potential of Baek Woo-jin.
Baek Woo-jin’s growth ability was greater than that of all the talented people he had seen so far.
“Trees that grow too quickly have the disadvantage of being weak at the base, but that doesn’t apply to you. “He grew up really well.”
“I’m embarrassed that it’s been so long since we last met and you only complimented me.”
“There is no need to be ashamed. “I just said it objectively.”
Yoon Woo-min looked at Baek Woo-jin with eyes full of pride and admiration.
“Thank you for taking care of Geunho.”
Yoon Woo-min, who had been looking at the sea for a while, turned his head to Baek Woo-jin again.
“Did Jeong Geun-ho really say that? “I’m not that kind of guy.”
“He said he worked alone, but he sometimes said your name, so I knew you helped him.”
“As expected.”
-That’s right. There’s no way he could say he got your help first.
Baek Woo-jin laughed as if he knew that would happen.
-Still, it’s amazing that you maintain that kind of self-esteem even after being beaten like that. He’s like Ottogi.
Darkness chuckled, muttering that it was fun.
“You may have helped me because you saw me, but there is no need to do that from now on. That guy needs to be hit hard once to come to his senses.
“All right.”
‘I’m sorry, but that guy can’t come to his senses even if he gets hit.’
Baek Woo-jin nodded, hiding his true feelings.
“Where is the island said to have the energy of the wind?”
“It’s about 10km to the southeast. “We will leave from here tomorrow morning.”
“Tomorrow?”
“That’s how the story started with the green tower. “They said we would do the investigation separately, but let’s go in together.”
“okay.”
Since it was nothing special, Baek Woo-jin nodded.
“Who does Green Tower say is coming?”
“It is said that Uhm Woo-seong, the Green Pagoda Master’s disciple, and Chanpung, the magician under him, are coming.”
“Nokseongpung, Umwooseong….”
“Do you know?”
“I know roughly.”
“The current owner of Green Tower is a good person. “It is said that his disciple Nokseongpung also did many good deeds.”
Um Woo-sung, the green wind, was one of the highly trustworthy and talented people who performed various types of service and took the lead in catching criminals.
“Still, there’s no harm in being careful. Even if the rumors are good, you don’t know what the person is actually like.”
-Like you?
‘okay.’
“That’s right. “There were definitely some difficult points.”
“What’s the problem?”
“The speed at which Green Tower applied for exploration of the island was very fast. “It’s like I was waiting for the island to appear.”
“Hmm…”
Baek Woo-jin frowned.
-You know a guy named Um Woo-seong, right?
‘This is a person who suddenly becomes the owner of Green Tower after disappearing for about 3 years. Just…’
-Just?
‘After becoming the owner of the tower, my personality suddenly changed and I started doing trash.’
As soon as Um Woo-sung became the owner of the tower, he completely changed Green Tower’s policy.
They focused solely on growing their own power, regardless of whether others suffered harm or not.
‘The owner of the former Green Tower disappeared, and there were even rumors that he was involved in it.’
-Isn’t this a rumor and a fact?
‘Maybe so.’
Considering Um Woo-sung’s personality changed from his previous life, it was quite possible.
‘Now that I think about it, I think he went missing around this time.’
It is not clear where Um Woo-sung went, but I remembered seeing an article saying he had gone missing.
‘There might be something special on the island we’re going to tomorrow.’
-Do you think that a guy named Um Woo-seong became the owner of the tower with the power he gained on that island?
‘Because there is a possibility.’
Baek Woo-jin narrowed his eyes as he looked at the distant sea.
‘Whatever happens, we’ll have to wait until tomorrow to find out.’
* * *
8 a.m. the next day.
Baek Woo-jin arrived at an island with strong winds.
Contrary to my nervousness, nothing happened until I arrived at the island.
“I can definitely feel the spirit’s energy.”
The energy of the wind was flowing throughout the island.
What was surprising was that the energy of the wind locked inside was greater than what appeared on the outside. Like the tip of an iceberg.
“I can feel the energy of the spirit and the energy of magic at the same time. “Both forces are at work.”
“The environment is also unique in many ways.”
The trees were thin and long enough to break, and the grass was so wide that it looked like it could be used as a fan.
The trees and grass seen on the island were types of plants that had never been seen in Korea.
This island also seemed to be from another world.
-It seems to be an island from my world. It’s an environment you would see in the southern part of the continent.
‘Don’t you know what the island is doing?’
-If I knew that, I would have sat down and read my fortune.
As Darkness and Baek Woo-jin were talking about the island, the harsh wind parted and the wizards of the Green Tower appeared.
“You are Unitas people. “It’s called Lucas’s Woo-seong.”
The middle-aged wizard in front approached and nodded.
The wizards behind him followed suit and bowed their heads.
“This is Janggyeongha from Unitas.”
Jang Kyeong-ha greeted him and smiled brightly.
“I didn’t know that the Master of Unitas was such a beauty. “It’s an honor to meet you.”
“I also heard a lot of rumors about Nokseongpung. “You are doing great things that I cannot replicate.”
“Not at all. I just do it because my teacher tells me to. haha!”
The two representatives had a brief chat to cheer each other up.
“You said we should move separately, right?”
“yes. Everyone move, but try not to harm each other… omg?”
Um Woo-seong stopped speaking and took a step back in surprise.
This is because behind Jang Gyeong-ha was a person who had never been imagined.
“Bae Baek Woo-jin?”
The unexpected sight of Baek Woo-jin made my whole body feel cold.
“Ah, he is the one who came to help us.”
Jang Kyeong-ha was afraid that Baek Woo-jin might be harmed, so he did not call him a priest and treated him like a stranger.
“This is Baek Woo-jin. “I’ve heard a lot about Nokseongpung’s reputation.”
“I don’t know what to say since Hyeopgeom-nim said that.”
Um Woo-sung smiled, showing his white teeth, but inside he was trying to hide his complicated feelings.
‘Why did that bastard come here!’
I was so irritated that I couldn’t stand it.
If this happens, we will have to change all our plans because of Baek Woo-jin. Baek Woo-jin had that level of skill and reputation.
“Well then, let me say it again. “How about moving separately but not harming each other and helping if a problem arises?”
“It’s good.”
Jang Kyung-ha nodded vigorously.
“I decided to do that and went up.”
Jang Gyeong-ha led Unitas, Baek Woo-jin, Moon Ju-young, and Mu-yeong guests up to the island, and Um Woo-seong took Chanpung with him.
Coo coo coo coo.
The moment the two groups entered the forest, wind began to blow from the ground.
Quaaaaa!
The weak wind suddenly rose and created a huge waterspout.
“What a storm!”
“Ugh!”
“What the hell!”
Unitas and the green tower wizards screamed in astonishment at the suddenly created waterspout.
Cooooooo!
The wind of the waterspout was so crazy and strong that it was created so suddenly that people were unable to control their bodies and hit each other like billiard balls.
“What are they doing! Catch the wind!”
“yes!”
Under Um Woo-seong’s instructions, the green tower’s wizards began controlling the wind by using mana breathing.
“Summon the wind spirits!”
Yun Woo-min summoned Grehon, a superior spirit of wind, to protect the people.
“jin!”
Jang Gyeong-ha also summoned Jin to control the flow of wind.
Coo coo coo coo.
Um Woo-seong and the wizards stood together on the left and Baek Woo-jin and Unitas on the right, protecting each other from the waterspout.
Quaaaaa!
The waterspout grew stronger and split into two, dividing Unitas and Green Tower.
The two groups moved to different places, following the wind that guided them.
“Hmm…”
Um Woo-sung moved westward following the smaller waterspout.
As soon as the path leading into the forest began to appear, the wind completely disappeared.
“As expected.”
Um Woo-seong smiled as he looked at the path in front of him.
The Wind God’s bead became a compass and led them to the correct path to reach the Wind God’s legacy.
“You idiots.”
Baek Woo-jin, who has nothing, must pass through numerous traps to reach the Wind God’s Legacy.
Of course, by then, it would be after he had packed everything and left.
“As expected, the beads… Wow!”
Um Woo-sung smiled heartily and took out a bead from his arms before screaming.
“Oh no! “No!”
The wind god’s bead that should have been in his arms was missing.
“What the hell!”
I quickly took off my clothes and searched my entire body, but the beads were nowhere to be seen.
It had disappeared completely.
* * *
Baek Woo-jin and Unitas arrived in front of a forest so green that it was breathtaking.
It was so full of bushes and trees that no one could enter.
“I think they’re telling us to go in here.”
“Even though the wind was strong, there was no life at all. “It looks like you guided us as you said.”
Yoon Woo-min nodded.
“Just in case, I think it would be a good idea to set up the wind spirit or summons at the front and rear and set off.”
“It’s been a while since I’m excited. Priest! Let’s go quickly.”
Jang Kyung-ha clenched his fist and waved his hand.
Jin followed her to the front.
“I will also summon Jin.”
It was time for Baek Woo-jin to raise his hand to summon Jin.
Quaaaaa!
Suddenly a strong wind blew from behind.
The wind split the stuffy forest in front of Baek Woo-jin and created a path for people to pass through.
“uh?”
Baek Woo-jin looked back and opened his mouth wide.
A green light was flashing from Mu Young-gaek’s right pants pocket, and from that light, a wind was blowing through the forest.
“Oh no!”
Muyounggaek was embarrassed and tried to cover his pockets with his hands, but the more intense the light and wind came out.
“Haha…”
Moo Young-gaek scratched the back of his head and smiled embarrassedly.
“What is this here?”
