Episode 166 Mahwa (3)
‘It’s him.’
Caliburn was able to find Baek Woo-jin without difficulty.
‘Is this more than expected?’
The vast mana and strong vitality felt in humans gave me goosebumps.
If you inject that mana and vitality into the seeds, you will be able to drastically shorten the time it takes to make the magic water bloom.
‘You have to catch it at all costs.’
Caliburn melted into the darkness with a face full of anticipation.
Sigh.
Caliburn reappeared 20 meters behind Baek Woo-jin, who was walking alone.
About a hundred black javelins were floating behind his back.
Sigh.
When Caliburn raised his finger, the javelins were thrown at Baek Woo-jin without a sound of wind.
Cheaaa!
Baek Woo-jin turned around as if he knew and pulled out his sword.
Kyaggyaggyak!
Baek Woo-jin knocked out all of the demonic spears with one sword.
“It’s not enough.”
“also.”
Caliburn was not embarrassed at all because he thought Baek Woo-jin would block the attack.
“Are you a perverted demon who draws flower patterns on corpses?”
“Pervert…”
Caliburn giggled. His magical energy began to burn and his appearance began to change.
Phudduddduk.
Two twisted horns sprouted from Caliban’s forehead, his pale skin turned yellow, and everything in his eyeballs turned black.
“I will grant you the honor of engraving a magic flower on your body as well.”
“I’m sorry, but I don’t have that kind of hobby.”
Baek Woo-jin pointed his sword at Caliburn with cold eyes.
“You have good confidence.”
Caliburn kept his smile and floated his magic energy into the air.
A thousand demonic spears, twice as large, rose above Caliban’s head.
“Is it just a numbers game? “It’s pathetic.”
Baek Woo-jin laughed and rushed towards Caliburn.
“It will be different than before.”
At Caliban’s nod, all the javelins rushed towards Baek Woo-jin’s entire body.
Each of the Magi’s spears had power and speed that could not be ignored, but Baek Woo-jin’s smile did not change.
“It’s different.”
Baek Woo-jin’s arm sword drew a flexible arc.
The black aura spread from the arcade deflected all of the Magi’s spears.
“It’s the same?”
Baek Woo-jin did not stop at deflecting the demon’s spear, but was gradually approaching Caliburn.
‘You’re hiding your power. They’re probably saving it so they can get rid of me right away.’
Caliburn continuously pulled out the demonic spear and observed Baek Woo-jin.
‘The upper body is so perfect that there is no room to aim. But the defense of the lower body is not complete. My weak point was my lower body.’
An excited smile appeared on Caliban’s lips.
Baek Woo-jin’s defense was as solid as an iron wall, but there were very small gaps. The defense of the lower body and thighs was not perfect.
Sigh.
A very small, transparent window emerged from Caliban’s back.
Although it was similar in size and shape to a toothpick, it had a strangely gloomy energy flowing through it.
This small, transparent window was the ghost that engraved demonic symbols on the human body and made it possible to give commands.
“That’s amazing. But there is still a long way to go.”
Caliburn hid his true feelings and created more and more magical spears and launched them at Baek Woo-jin.
“plaguy!”
Baek Woo-jin returned the sword to its sheath and pulled it out again.
A wave of black light rose from his sword and exploded all of the demonic spears.
‘Now!’
Caliburn unleashed the magical spear he had prepared once again and manipulated the demon to aim for Baek Woo-jin’s right thigh.
“Ugh!”
Baek Woo-jin’s face, who was leisurely blocking the demon’s spear even after using the Black King Bullet, was stained with pain.
“finished.”
Caliburn opened his mouth and smiled strangely.
I clearly saw the ear type being driven into Baek Woo-jin’s thigh.
‘The magic flower was engraved.’
Through Baek Woo-jin’s torn combat uniform, a magic painting engraved on his thigh was visible.
Now that person was no different from a puppet listening to his orders.
“Do you think you’ve barely won this much?”
“stop.”
“Ugh!”
Baek Woo-jin, who was about to rush in, stopped like a doll whose strings had fallen. His once cool eyes became cloudy and relaxed.
“Hahaha!”
Caliburn shook his head and burst into laughter.
When it hits a human, it turns into poison and takes over the human brain.
Because it was poison, it was a very special ability that could not search for demon energy and had no choice but to listen to its own commands.
“How do you feel?”
“….”
“Take four steps back.”
“….”
Baek Woo-jin did not reply, but walked backwards.
Because Mahwa was not a perfect brainwashing ability, each person reacted differently when receiving orders.
Baek Woo-jin had an arrogant personality and was the type to listen to orders without replying.
“Unfold your aura.”
“….”
Baek Woo-jin did not respond this time, but opened his auror.
The air rippled with his massive aura and the stones on the floor rose.
“It was like this!”
Caliban’s pitch-black eyes sparkled with malice.
If this human was offered as nourishment for the seed, the magical water could be made to bloom within a week.
“From now on, you are in the West…”
Caliburn told Baek Woo-jin the address of the hideout where he was staying and ordered him to find it.
He thought that he might run into trouble if he moved with them.
“After changing your clothes, go to the address I gave you. “If you meet someone you know while traveling, act like you normally would.”
Baek Woo-jin nodded and moved toward Seo-gu.
“Even if I can’t do it, next week. “Next week you can smoke the perfect magic water.”
Caliburn smiled as he watched Baek Woo-jin walking slowly.
* * *
“Are you done with your search?”
Jeok Yeon-hwa found Baek Woo-jin near Seo-gu’s lodgings and approached him.
“okay.”
“How was it? “Have you had a harvest?”
“at all.”
Baek Woo-jin shook his head in a calm voice.
“okay.”
Jeok Yeon-hwa looked at Baek Woo-jin’s neat combat uniform and nodded.
“Ah, why did you do that at the meeting earlier?”
“what?”
“Um no.”
Unlike when I saw Baek Woo-jin in the morning, he had the same calm expression and voice as before.
“How was it for you?”
“There was nothing on our side either. “It looks like the demons are much more cautious than expected.”
“okay.”
Baek Woo-jin nodded and moved in a direction other than the dormitory.
“Isn’t that the dormitory?”
“I have a place to go.”
“Ah yes.”
Jeok Yeon-hwa nodded and headed toward her dorm.
“uh?”
She started to go to her dorm, but then got startled and hurriedly turned around. But Baek Woo-jin had already disappeared.
“No way….”
* * *
“You’re late.”
Caliburn waved his hand when he saw Baek Woo-jin arrive at his hideout.
“How are you feeling? “Isn’t it better than before?”
“….”
Baek Woo-jin didn’t respond, but Caliburn giggled to himself.
“There has never been a human with as much mana and vitality as you. “I’m looking forward to seeing how the seeds will grow.”
Caliburn looked at Baek Woo-jin with eyes full of joy and then raised his hand.
Chiiing!
Following Caliban’s hand, the air distorted and a black sub-space appeared. The seeds of the Demon Spirit Water automatically popped out from within.
“That seed is why you were born. “Think of it as an honor and offer your strength.”
“….”
Baek Woo-jin silently approached the seed. I put my hand down to touch the seed.
“Hehehe.”
Caliburn smiled slyly.
My heart trembled at the thought that I would be able to raise a perfect demon spirit beast at any moment.
“huh?”
Baek Woo-jin bent down to grab the seeds and then stopped.
“What are you doing. “Catch it quickly.”
“….”
After hearing Caliban’s urging, Baek Woo-jin straightened his back, which had been bent in the opposite direction.
He held the sword sheath with his left hand and his right hand held the handle of the sword.
“What are you doing! Why are you holding a sword? stop! “Stop!”
Caliburn, who was sitting in a rocking chair, got scared and jumped up.
I couldn’t understand why Baek Woo-jin took that stance.
“This is the seed of the demon spirit water.”
Baek Woo-jin smiled slyly and opened his auror.
A shadow appeared behind him like a haze.
Only the shadows were added, but a wave of energy was emitted that was incomparable to before.
“you you!”
Caliburn let out a piercing scream. His face became paler than pale.
‘What on earth is this guy!’
I couldn’t figure out why Baek Woo-jin deviated from his orders, how he knew about the spirit beast’s seed, or what his purpose was.
“It’s definitely blooming! “I saw it with my own eyes!”
A magic painting was engraved on Baek Woo-jin’s thigh. I couldn’t understand how Mahwa could not follow his orders.
“Oh this?”
Baek Woo-jin chuckled and tore both thighs of his new combat uniform pants.
“uh…?”
Caliban’s mouth opened wide.
Not only Baek Woo-jin’s right thigh, but also his left thigh had a magic painting engraved on it.
“This is a tattoo. “I drew it because it looked cool.”
At the word tattoo, the soul drained from Caliban’s eyes.
I couldn’t decide what was going on right now.
“You were definitely stabbed! “I saw it…”
“I got stabbed, but I have a constitution that makes poison impermeable.”
“Keuuuuuu! “You!”
Madness filled Caliban’s eyes. His lips trembled like plucked guitar strings.
-Hahaha! Look at that guy’s face.
Darkness burst out laughing when he saw Caliban’s expression filled with anger.
‘I got both tattoos, just in case.’
Before leaving for Gwangju, Baek Woo-jin got the same tattoo as Ma-hwa on both thighs with the help of Yoo Jin-ah.
-You’re so crazy that you loosen your thigh defenses and invite attacks.
‘I thought it wouldn’t work because magic fire is poison.’
Even if it was the poison of demonic energy, poison is poison, so I believed that the Heavenly Poison Immortal would block it.
In addition, I thought there was no way Caliban’s brainwashing or orders would work because of the Holy Spirit bracelet and darkness.
‘Everything went as expected.’
Caliburn was playing in Baek Woo-jin’s hands from beginning to end.
“Then let me crush your hopes.”
“Oh, no!”
“Okay!”
Baek Woo-jin grinned and fired a full-power black king bullet at the seed of the Demon Spirit Beast.
Kwaaaaaaaa!
Black King Bullet’s aura spread like a tidal wave, sweeping away everything in front of Baek Woo-jin.
Coo coo coo coo.
The basement exploded and the building collapsed.
Whoa!
Baek Woo-jin cleared away the dust and frowned as he looked at the spirit tree seed stuck in the ground.
Even though the full power of black king bullets was used, the seeds only had minor cracks and were not completely destroyed.
“It’s harder than I thought…”
“Aaaah!”
Caliburn let out a roar and exploded his demon energy.
“I’m sorry, but I can’t give you this.”
Baek Woo-jin protected the seed and glared at Caliburn.
I thought Caliburn would come to get the seed back, but he just screamed and didn’t move.
Puzzle.
Baek Woo-jin, who was on guard against Caliburn and was about to destroy the seed again, swallowed dryly when he heard the sound of something cracking behind him.
“No way….”
“I woke up the demonic beast. done.”
Caliburn released his demon energy into the incomplete demon spirit water before Baek Woo-jin destroyed the seed.
“What!”
Baek Woo-jin widened his eyes.
He didn’t know that Caliburn could awaken the spirit beast without touching the seed.
Coo coo coo coo.
The seed of the spirit tree spread wide open, and a wooden pillar thicker than a building popped out.
The wooden pillars grew thicker, breaking through the building and rising into the sky.
Quaaaaa!
The spirit tree took root in the earth and ascended endlessly into the sky like in a fairy tale.
“shit!”
Baek Woo-jin retreated and launched a series of lightning bolts.
Puff puff puff!
The lightning island filled with brain energy was stuck in the Magic Water, but only a small sword mark was left.
“It’s because of you.”
Caliburn glared at Baek Woo-jin from behind the growing Demon Spirit Beast as if he were going to kill him.
“Because of you, everyone here will die!”
Although the magic tree is not perfect, the population density is very high around here because humans from Nam-gu have taken refuge there.
Even if it’s not as many as you wanted, you’ll be able to kill a lot of people.
“I’m sorry, but that won’t happen.”
Fearing something like this might happen, he deliberately came near the accommodation and sent a message to Jeok Yeon-hwa, whom he met there, telling her to evacuate people to Nam-gu.
“what?”
“I thought something like this might happen.”
Baek Woo-jin put the Amin Sword into its scabbard with unwavering eyes.
“Now that foot-geom technique is useless….”
“It’s not foot-geom technique.”
Baek Woo-jin put down his sword and stretched out both hands.
Quaaaaa!
Sulbing was summoned from his right hand and Leo was summoned from his left hand.
The snow and ice appeared like a phoenix, bigger than a helicopter.
“A cow summoner? But that appearance…”
“Let’s go!”
[Kyaaaa!]
Baek Woo-jin ignored Caliban’s words and got on the snow ice.
The snowflake soared into the sky through the hole made by the spirit beast.
Coo coo coo coo.
The spirit beast was constantly growing, as if it were sucking the energy of the earth.
“It’s going to really explode in a little while.”
As soon as the magic tree stops growing and black flowers in the shape of cherry blossoms bloom from its branches, it will explode.
There is not much time left.
“Freeze the tree with white ice!”
[Kyaaaa!] As
the snowflake flapped its huge wings, snow so clear it was pure white covered the sky.
It was the manifestation of Snow Bing’s special ability, Baek Bing.
Damn it!
White ice poured down like rain towards the magic water.
The magic power burning in the Spiritual Water could not withstand the freezing white ice.
The black flame was trapped in the white ice.
“Spread the white ice all over the tree with a gust of wind!”
[Kyaung!]
Leo raised his mane and summoned a huge waterspout in front of the Demon Spirit Beast. That storm is Leo’s special ability, the frenzy.
Coooooo!
The wind was a violent wind that did not discriminate between enemies and enemies, but Leo was able to control it by using the characteristic called Yeouiyeonwind.
Quaaaaa!
The combination of snow and ice and strong winds created a snow storm that could freeze the heavens and earth.
Damn it!
The snow storm enveloped the spirit beast, forcibly blocking its growth and trapping it in pure white ice without a single gap.
The spirit beast that had grown to the height of the 20th floor could no longer grow or explode and completely stopped.
“Ah…”
Caliburn’s legs lost strength and he sat down. His eyes were glassy, as if his soul had escaped him.
‘That’s ridiculous. ‘How!’
It was a situation I had never dreamed of, that a demonic beast burning with the flames of demonic energy would freeze.
“shit! “Why! Why not!”
He tried to force the spirit beast to explode, but his command did not work.
That thick, damned ice was interfering with his signal.
“Kwaaaak!”
Caliburn hit the ground and screamed.
I had the wrong idea about Baek Woo-jin from the beginning.
That guy was a disaster that should never have been met from the beginning.
“Now it’s the finale.”
When Baek Woo-jin stretched out his hand, darkness flew out and caught him.
A magnificent radiance of darkness appeared from the blade of darkness.
The black flesh, a combination of the magic power of darkness and Baek Woo-jin’s aura, became the horizon and divided the Demon Spirit Tree.
