Episode 161 Island of the Wind God (3)
“What is that?”
“I don’t know either.”
Moo Young-gaek looked at Baek Woo-jin’s notice and slowly took a step back.
“Huh…”
Baek Woo-jin laughed and approached Mu Young-gaek.
“Just give it to me.”
“yep!”
Muyounggaek hurriedly searched his pocket and took out a glowing green bead.
Light was not coming from the bead, but from the eyes of the hawk inside the bead.
Couuuuu.
Even though the marble was in Baek Woo-jin’s hand, it was still creating a strong wind.
-Hmm….
‘Why? Do you know this bead?’
-I thought I saw a hawk in a bead somewhere.
‘Just do an appraisal first.’
The darkness immediately surrounded the bead with an aura.
“The beads look expensive. haha.”
Muyoung-gaek blushed and let out an awkward laugh.
“….”
While Baek Woo-jin was looking at Mu Young-gaek with dumbfounded eyes, the information about the beads came up.
[Wind God Pearl]
Grade: Unique.
Conditions of availability: None.
It is a compass that can help you reach the legacy of the Wind God.
‘Legacy of the Wind God? Have you ever heard of it?’
-at all. God is a grand name.
It’s great that it has a compass theme and a unique rating, but it seemed like a bluff when it included the name of God.
‘Maybe it’s not a bluff. ‘You remember the key to Lion Castle, right?’
-Are you kidding me? How could we forget those otaku riches!
‘It’s not that, it’s the key. The key to the Lion’s Castle was also unique.’
-Um…
‘And the boss that was actually supposed to be there was a dragon, not a lich. Even if it’s not a god, there might be some pretty great thing or person coming out.’
Baek Woo-jin smiled as he touched the Wind God Pillar.
It seems that Muyeong-gaek was lucky to ask for such an item.
“Priests. “What on earth is that?”
“It looks like Muyoung had an accident.”
Yoon Woo-min and Jang Kyung-ha came to Baek Woo-jin’s side.
Jang Gyeong-ha was making an interesting expression, and Yoon Woo-min was narrowing his eyes at Mu Young-gaek.
“haha.”
Mu Young-gaek revealed his identity to Yoon Woo-min and Jang Kyeong-ha as a government official, and they became friends within a day thanks to his amusing remarks.
“What on earth have you done? “Where did you get this?”
Baek Woo-jin showed off his skills and waved a bead in front of Mu Young-gaek.
“Oh, when the storm broke out earlier, it happened to be in my hand. “I put it in my pocket to find its owner later.”
“How did it happen?”
“Please find the owner?”
-This guy is not normal either….
“….”
Four people and one demon sword turned their heads at the same time at the answer that was so absurd.
“If you’re being honest, I’ll let it go.”
“Ugh…”
Muyounggaek paused for a moment and then sighed.
“Did you see the wizard named Um Woo-seong slightly cupping his chest?”
“Is that so?”
“I don’t know.”
“I don’t know either…”
No one other than Mu Young-gaek could understand Um Woo-sung’s posture.
“Such an attitude occurs when you are hiding something important in your arms. You are protecting the items in your arms as if you were protecting them. An expert like me can tell just by looking at it.”
-I never thought I would be lectured by a thief in my lifetime.
“Then…”
“Yes. I pretended to protect myself during a storm and pulled myself out when I got hit. It’s not that big of a deal, right? haha!”
“This is crazy! “What have you done!”
Moon Joo-young rushed at Moo Young-gaek and grabbed him by the collar.
His face was red with excitement.
“If we do something wrong, a battle could break out here before the war between Lucas and the Baek Family!”
“no.”
Baek Woo-jin grabbed the excited Moon Ju-young by the shoulder.
“First of all, Green Tower doesn’t know that there is a thief among us. “The wind was so strong that your first thought would be loss, not theft.”
“Yes! “You understand!”
Mu Young-gaek smiled brightly even after hearing that he was a thief.
“And since my identity has been revealed, I can’t be suspicious.”
“Kya, as expected, prosecutor. “You’re smart.”
Muyounggaek smiled slyly and shook his chin like a nutcracker.
“Profit…”
Moon Joo-young glared at Mu Young-gaek, but he couldn’t move and only shook his fist.
“Elder. It seems that the Green Tower came to this island by believing in this orb.”
Baek Woo-jin looked back at Yoon Woo-min.
Yoon Woo-min chuckled while watching the snowball fight between Mu Young-gaek and Moon Ju-young.
“It would be impossible to return it now. For now, let’s follow the guidance of the beads. “You will find the answer as you go.”
“After all, he is our master! “You’re flexible!”
Jang Kyung-ha raised his fist and smiled brightly.
“Now wait a minute. If you come across the green tower, how
can you explain it….” “Just say you picked it up. And don’t worry, it won’t happen.”
Baek Woo-jin spoke with confidence.
If the Wind God’s Compass is as described, you will be able to reach the Wind God’s Legacy before the Green Tower follows.
“But didn’t you wash your hands?”
“No matter how occupational the disease is, it is not easily cured. “It appears that some treatment and rehabilitation period is needed.”
Muyoung-gaek chuckled and rubbed his hands.
The only thing that came out when I saw that was laughter.
“Huh…”
Moon Ju-young looked like she had a lot to say, but Baek Woo-jin and Yoon Woo-min just sighed and kept her mouth shut.
“Then let’s leave.”
Baek Woo-jin patted Moon Ju-young on the shoulder and took the lead.
As he moved, the wind in the beads moved together, creating a path in the forest.
The wind was not simply cutting the forest in a straight line, but was bending in the direction it needed to move.
-He’s a special guy.
Heukam waved the blade of his sword as he saw the martial artist following him while whistling.
-You said you washed your hands, but did you wash them in a poop bucket? Why are there guys like that?
* * *
“Damn it!”
Um Woo-sung exploded in anger by uprooting a healthy tree.
I went back to the place I first arrived and searched everywhere, but the Wind God Orb was not found anywhere.
“Keuuuu!”
My head felt like it was on fire.
I was so angry that I wanted to smash everything in sight.
“Baek Woo-jin and Unitas would have already gone inside since they did not have the Wind God Orb.”
Jo Yeong-hoon, the leader of the cold wind, carefully approached Um Woo-sung and opened his mouth.
“Baek Woo-jin didn’t even come near us, so it’s highly unlikely that he took the beads, and it doesn’t make sense for anyone else to steal the master’s beads.”
“Um…”
“What we have to do is get through the island as quickly as possible. “You must leave now.”
“Whoa…”
Um Woo-seong let out a heavy sigh.
As Cho Young-hoon said, we must forget about the beads and start quickly to reach the top before Baek Woo-jin.
Coo coo coo coo.
He stood up, pulverizing the rock he had been sitting on.
“let’s go.”
“yes!”
Um Woo-seong entered the forest without hesitation, and Jo Young-hoon and the wizards followed him.
Coo coo coo coo.
Not even 10 minutes after the wizards entered the forest, the bushes on both sides began to shake.
Quaaaaa!
Jin, an intermediate wind spirit, appeared between the bushes on the left, and Kiris, a wind attribute summoner with a crane-like appearance, appeared on the tree on the right.
[Crrrrr.]
[Kaaa!]
Jin and Kiris gathered the energy of the wind as they glared at Uhm Woo-seong and the wizards with strong hostility.
“Tsk.”
Um Woo-seong clicked his tongue.
If only the Wind God’s Orb had been there, those summoned beasts would not have moved even if they saw them.
I got angry once again.
Kuuuu.
I could feel the energy of monsters from behind and in front. It wasn’t just one or two.
Whoa!
In Um Woo-seong’s hands, dozens of wind blades that could tear even the air were created.
“I’ll make you regret appearing in front of me.”
* * *
-Is it this easy?
‘I didn’t know it would be like this.’
Baek Woo-jin looked at the Wind God Ju and showed a dejected expression.
The Wind God Lord not only guided the way, but also blocked the approach of monsters and summons nearby.
‘There’s nothing to do.’
All he had done so far was to walk along the path opened by the Wind God Lord.
-Isn’t it an invisibility cloak, not a compass?
‘Rather than that, I think they mistake us for being summoned beasts with wind attributes like themselves.’
The monsters and summons in the forest did not show much interest in him, like they were stones on the side of the road.
‘I never thought it would be this comfortable.’
There was a device in the middle that looked like a trap, but it didn’t work, perhaps because of the Wind God Ju.
It felt like a light hike or walk.
-The thief did something.
‘I know.’
Baek Woo-jin glanced at Mu-young, who was chatting next to Yoon Woo-min, and nodded.
Thanks to him, I felt like I could reach the Wind God’s Legacy at the shortest distance and speed.
“Ugh, it’s so comfortable that it’s boring.”
“This is good.”
As Jang Kyeong-ha was licking his lips with regret, Yoon Woo-min shook his head.
“As expected, you know something. When I stole, most of the time I stole easily and sometimes I sent a notice and committed difficult thefts. Rather than doing difficult things every time, do it sometimes…”
– Did that thief get a fatal disease because he couldn’t speak? How did you become a thief with that personality?
Even as he moved, Muyounggaek’s mouth did not rest. This was my first time hearing someone talk so loudly that his voice stayed in my eardrums.
‘Leave it alone.’
Baek Woo-jin listened to Mu-yeong-gaek’s words and followed the guidance of the beads and went upstairs.
“It stopped.”
When Baek Woo-jin entered between the eight trees that rose to the sky, the wind coming from the Wind God Pillar stopped.
-Is it here?
‘I think so. The energy I feel is no joke.’
All that was visible around was eight trees and a land where not even a single blade of grass had grown.
However, a frightening force of wind could be felt from beneath the ground.
“It looks like this is the destination.”
“I guess so. “The strongest energy is definitely sleeping down here.”
“It gives me goosebumps.”
Yoon Woo-min and Jang Kyung-ha nodded at Baek Woo-jin’s words.
People prepared for battle by summoning beasts so that they could fight at any time.
Phew.
While Baek Woo-jin was looking around and feeling nervous, a hologram window that he could only see appeared.
[You have the Wind God’s Jewel.]
[You will automatically pass stages 1, 2, and 3 of the Wind God’s Test.]
[The final test begins.] As soon as
the hologram window called the final test disappeared, a small piece of wind appeared in front of everyone.
Phew.
The wind sculpture began to expand its size by absorbing the surrounding atmosphere.
A shape that looked like a human with arms, legs, and head was created, and at the center of it was an energy greater than that of a large storm.
“Huh!”
“What is this!
“Wind monster?”
“Everyone gather behind us!”
“All right!”
Baek Woo-jin tried to step back according to Yoon Woo-min’s instructions, but a blue curtain suddenly appeared in front of him.
“this!”
Baek Woo-jin swung his sword at the blue curtain, but the curtain did not cut or pierce, as if it were a real breeze.
All the talented people, including Baek Woo-jin, were separated from each other along with their respective wind monsters.
Whoa whoa.
The blue curtain that trapped Baek Woo-jin grew bigger and bigger, reaching the size of a small training hall.
When I saw that the space was larger than the original space, it felt like I had moved to a completely different place.
Whoa!
The wind monster made of wind began to move. And that too with obvious hostility.
“Are you telling me to destroy this guy?”
-I guess so. But why did the same thing happen to everyone?
“It’s obvious. I’m saying I’ll give the power of the Wind God to whoever gets rid of this monster first.
-It’s a first-come, first-served basis….
“If it’s something like this, you’re welcome.”
Baek Woo-jin slashed at the wind monster with the Black King’s bullet without hesitation.
Quaaaaa!
Black King Tan’s destructive aura swept over the wind monster.
The wind monster’s entire upper body was blown away, but recovered in an instant. And that too with the energy of a stronger wind.
“Do I have to crush it all at once?”
Baek Woo-jin raised his sword while using his Danjeon aura to its peak.
Using Muryeongcham, which could crush even a storm, he erased everything from the wind monster.
Phew.
However, the wind monster grew bigger and regenerated with a lot of energy.
Then he stretched out his fist and started attacking.
Kya gya gya gya!
Baek Woo-jin blocked the wind monster’s fist by drawing a circle with his sword.
It was an incredibly powerful force, as if hundreds of blades of wind were pouring down at the same time.
“It’s bearable.”
-Your attribute resistance is beyond morale.
Baek Woo-jin smiled despite the stormy attack.
Although the power itself was strong, it had little effect on him.
“Anyway, I don’t think it was an attack using force.”
Baek Woo-jin frowned and looked up at the wind monster that was getting bigger.
-If that guy’s energy gets stronger, even you will become bothersome. Think carefully. The flow of wind has no form.
“It’s the flow of the wind…”
One way would be to summon spirits and attack them, but I didn’t want to do that.
Coooooo!
The wind monster stretched out both fists towards Baek Woo-jin.
It was a mace of wind that lost its sharpness and contained heaviness.
A huge wind mace fell on his head, but Baek Woo-jin did not move.
“ah!”
Baek Woo-jin’s eyes, staring at the mace, glowed blue.
He slowly swung the sword, drawing two lines.
Whoa!
The two waves spread by the Dark Sword became a soft barrier and bounced back the wind monster’s mace.
Sigh.
Baek Woo-jin rushed forward and flexibly raised his sword once again.
His sword contained both the flow of wind and the art of a sword.
Sigh!
The wind monster tried to fight back with its left fist, but even that fist was torn like a piece of paper.
[…!]
The wind monster stepped back as if embarrassed.
Unlike before, the monster’s arm did not regenerate all at once, but recovered slowly.
“This was it.”
Baek Woo-jin smiled while swinging his sword.
The way to catch that monster was not to use force, but to cut it gently along the grain of the wind.
-Have you figured it out now?
‘Thanks to your hint.’
Thanks to him telling me that darkness is a flow, I was able to quickly figure out the method.
“It would be perfect training.”
* * *
“It’s not going away.”
Baek Woo-jin frowned when he saw the wind monster, which was now smaller than a goblin.
Although it was reduced to that size using Yugeom’s tricks, it did not shrink further or disappear.
“I guess that looks like a nucleus. “It’s the hardest thing to deal with.”
-Almost there. Just focus a little more. Recall all the tricks of the sword and feel the wind as it is.
“I know, but it’s not easy.”
Baek Woo-jin let out a small sigh and raised his sword again.
‘A little more flexible. Like the wind that can accept everything.’
Because the enemy was the wind itself, I learned and felt a lot while fighting.
Baek Woo-jin concentrated his mind and swung his sword, feeling the flow of the wind with his skin.
Sigh!
The wind monster’s left arm, which had not been cut, finally disappeared.
But Baek Woo-jin did not stop.
With stronger concentration and will, I lashed out the sword.
When the left arm of the wind monster disappeared into thin air, a new wind blew in Baek Woo-jin’s mind.
[The tenth gate of the Ten Thousand Swords, the Gate of Jeolgeom (截劍) has been opened.] [The
eleventh gate of the Ten Thousand Swords, the Gate of Yugeom (柔劍) has been opened.] [The
twelfth Gate of the Ten Thousand Swords, the Gate of the Wind Sword (風劍) has been opened. It has been opened.]
[With a sword containing the meaning of bowing and wind, a wind wall sword mark has been created.]
