Episode 174 Red Tiger (4) When
Baek Woo-jin placed his hand on the bead, the rainbow light contained within the bead spread out.
The dark hallway turned into a bright color with the light coming from the beads.
-Please be weak! Please, something ordinary! If not, please at least give me the trouble!
For the first time in a long time, the darkness offered an earnest prayer to the sword god.
“Uhm…”
A low moan escaped Baek Woojin’s mouth.
This is because the light of the orb became stronger and mana of the attribute flowed into his body.
Geek!
As the mana flowing within the bead grew stronger, the bead became streaked with incontinence.
Pakyaang!
Light and mana so intense that I couldn’t open my eyes spread out in all directions, and the rainbow beads shattered.
“Ugh!”
-What the hell!
Baek Woo-jin also closed his eyes because he couldn’t bear the light. The ground and air shook as if there had been an earthquake.
“Ah…”
Baek Woo-jin felt the light fading and opened his eyes.
He looked around and swallowed dry saliva. Because I was in a place I had no idea about.
“Where am I?”
A space the size of a soccer field was divided into four equal parts, and the properties of mana felt in each space were different.
However, the mana concentration in this entire space was so thick that I had never experienced it before.
-At first, I thought it was your mental world. But while it is similar, there is something different about it.
The darkness that suddenly appeared landed on Baek Woo-jin’s shoulders.
“I don’t think it would be a joke to practice Aurora here.”
-That would be nice, but please do some research first.
“That’s right. “First of all, go over there…?”
Baek Woo-jin tried to move to another place but froze.
An enormous amount of mana was flowing into his body, incomparable to when he caught the bead.
“Ugh!”
-what. what! This mana!
Baek Woo-jin was unable to answer and immediately sat cross-legged.
By utilizing the Auror practice, he circulated the attribute mana entering his body.
Cheeeeee!
Even though Baek Woo-jin did not call, the space split and all the spirits, including Ignis, Sulbing, Leo, and Earth Reno, appeared.
Gooooo!
The mana of the attributes that circulated through Baek Woo-jin’s body following the Auror practice spread like a fan toward the four spirits.
A thick line made of attribute mana appeared between Baek Woo-jin and the four spirits.
-Me crazy!
Darkness felt the energy of the attributes of Baek Woo-jin and the spirits rising at the same time and let out a scream.
-Is this possible?
The enormous mana gathered by Baek Woo-jin was passed on to the spirits according to his Auror practice, increasing the spirit’s energy.
I couldn’t believe this was happening.
-The spirits are in balance.
Ignis, the strongest, had stopped growing, but the other spirits were still gaining attribute energy.
The remaining three spirits did not grow to the same level as Ignis, but they grew to the point where they were roughly balanced.
-Growing up to Earth Reno….
Leo grew from a baby tiger to the size of a village bus, and Earth Reno, who was thought to be unable to grow, also grew 1.5 times in size.
– No way!
Darkness looked around once again.
It is divided into four regions and each region feels hot, cold, cool and heavy.
There is only one such place in the entire dimension.
-Spirit world!
There was no explanation other than that.
The system seemed to have temporarily changed the mental world to the spirit world in order to balance Baek Woo-jin’s attributes and force Earth Reno to grow.
-Huh!
I felt like I couldn’t breathe. The darkness fell to the floor like a bird with a damaged wing, breathing heavily.
-Another idiot! What kind of scale is it given out?
* * *
“Whoa…”
Baek Woo-jin opened his eyes, letting out a breath filled with joy. The four spirits were looking at themselves with much larger bodies.
“Everyone grew up well.”
I knew that I had become stronger because I had given the mana of the attributes to the spirits, but it felt even better to see my growth.
“I too have changed a lot.”
Baek Woo-jin smiled. By delivering mana to the spirits, the quality of the auror and its property sensitivity and resistance all increased.
However, the biggest difference was that the imbalance that existed between spirit and attribute sensitivity was adjusted.
-Is it good?
The darkness flew in helplessly like an autumn mosquito.
“very good.”
-It would be good. Because the guy who takes care of you is a psychopath himself.
The darkness trembled as if it were angry.
“What are you talking about again?”
-Where do you think this is?
“Hmm…”
-This is a place similar to your mental world. However…
the darkness told me the hypothesis it had in mind.
“Unless it’s definitely the spirit world…”
Although Earth Reno is special, he is not a vessel for the king like the others and cannot grow.
So, I felt like I created this environment to help Earth Reno and myself grow.
-This isn’t real. It’s like jumping rope on the Maginot Line!
Water seeped into the voice of darkness.
-I always say it’s good to give. Make them suffer instead!
“You had a hard time in your own way.”
Baek Woo-jin shrugged his shoulders. Although the reward was a bit large, I had nothing to worry about as it was a fair reward for passing the Jeokho Fortress.
-depending on? Naaaareum? I have had dozens of adventures like this and have received very little in return! Comparing it to someone with luck like you… Huh?
The darkness that exploded with fury like an active volcano was engulfed in black light. The light stretched like a rice cake and became a black cylinder.
Sigh.
The cylinder disappeared and darkness in the shape of a person appeared. His face was still covered with black smoke above his lips.
“What is it?”
Darkness was also confused, not knowing why he had changed.
[Can you hear me?]
“Red Tiger?”
[That’s right.]
Noise arose in my head and I heard Jeokho’s voice.
[The place you are in now is a world created by the Reward Orb borrowing your mental world.]
“It’s a little different from my mental world, isn’t it?”
[It is said that they temporarily borrowed the energy of the spirit world to give the prosecutor what he needed.]
“I guess that’s true.”
I saw Baek Woo-jin standing blankly in the darkness. His hypothesis was correct to some extent.
[Growing the spirits to balance is the final reward of enemy hostility. And they say there are additional benefits.]
“What are the additional benefits?”
[They say you can stay there for a month. A month there would be about a week in reality.]
“That’s crazy…”
If you train for a month in an environment rich in mana of this type, you will be able to achieve great results.
The additional benefits were just as special as the original compensation.
[And the human who came with me…]
“Why him?”
[Phew, no. I’ll tell you when it’s all over. Then.]
Jeokho sighed and closed his mouth. Noise was heard again and communication was cut off.
“I wonder what Muyounggaek did again.”
“That’s not what’s important right now.”
Darkness approached, smirking.
“Why do you feel so good?”
“The thought of beating you up here for a month… no, the thought of training you, I can’t help but feel good.”
“Didn’t you just say you hit me?”
“It’s my mood.”
“go away. First of all, it’s time to control your body’s energy. “I’ll play with you later…”
“All of that will be resolved if you spar with me!”
The darkness slammed its fist towards Baek Woo-jin.
Quang!
Baek Woo-jin dodged the attack by flipping his body, but a large hole appeared where he was.
“Practical combat is the best training. come!”
“Your fists are full of life. “Is this really a practice?”
“If you don’t come, I’ll go.”
“Oh really….”
Baek Woo-jin sighed. The dark eyes were twinkling with a desire to beat him up.
I was in a half-crazy state trying to relieve the stress I’d been under, so I didn’t think any words would make sense.
“good.”
Baek Woo-jin pulled out the Dark Sword and activated all combat characteristics.
“As you well know, it will be completely different from before.”
“In my eyes, you’re still just a kid.”
Darkness grinned and drew his sword. The space was torn apart and a huge black wave crashed down on Baek Woo-jin.
Quaaaaa!
Baek Woo-jin erected a wind wall sword to block the island used in the darkness, and then fired twelve stems of lightning.
Absolutely!
But the darkness had already disappeared, and Lightning Island split the empty space.
“Back.”
The darkness moved backwards and struck a fist with a sword at the back of Baek Woo-jin’s head.
“know.”
Baek Woo-jin was not embarrassed at all. After disappearing on the spot like a ghost, he jumped out from the side of darkness and raised his sword.
“Huh…”
Heukam looked quite surprised as he let go of Baek Woo-jin’s attack.
“I told you it would be different.”
“I think I’m finally in the mood for a fight now.”
Darkness stepped back and smiled. If it were Baek Woo-jin before, he should have been hit in the back of the head by the attack just now and pinned to the floor.
I was really starting to get excited.
* * *
One month later.
Baek Woo-jin was practicing Auror with his eyes closed, and Darkness was sitting on a round rock and watching.
Coo coo coo coo.
A black air current arose from Baek Woo-jin’s entire body.
The black air current sucked up all the mana that existed around him, or in this space, like a vacuum cleaner.
“It has begun.”
Darkness frowned as he watched the storm of mana rising around Baek Woo-jin.
“I’ve been so upset so far.”
Over the past month, I have sparred with Baek Woo-jin countless times and hit him on the back of the head.
Even though Baek Woo-jin was beaten to the point of vomiting blood, he never backed down. The only time he fell was when he fainted.
Thanks to sparring that was reminiscent of a real fight, Baek Woo-jin achieved great growth in a short period of one month, and based on that growth, he was challenging new heights.
Quaaaaa!
The storm of mana mixed with the black air current and was absorbed into Baek Woo-jin’s body.
Coo coo coo coo.
Baek Woo-jin’s whole body was shaking as if he was cold.
This is because he was trying to change his aura with both the mana that came into his body and the mana that already existed.
Baek Woo-jin’s trembling, which had been endlessly fighting for Mana, stopped only after two days.
The huge river of mana flowing through his body stopped and was absorbed into the ocean called dantian.
Flashing.
When Baek Woo-jin opened his eyes, a black glow burned in his eyes.
Ding!
[The four major attributes have been harmonized.]
[Cain’s Auror training method has risen to level 7.]
[Cain’s Auror training method allows you to use the spirit energy more efficiently.] [
The four star characteristics are created . [It is done.]
Baek Woo-jin clenched his fists when he saw the message window that appeared in front of him.
I knew that my Auror training had advanced to the next level since I opened my eyes, but seeing the actual message gave me an even greater sense of accomplishment.
“Mmm!”
Darkness widened its eyes when it saw Baek Woo-jin waking up.
I knew I would grow, but I never thought my level of Auror practice would increase.
That lucky demon king jumped over the huge wall in one go.
‘The shell was broken…’
Baek Woo-jin achieved growth beyond his imagination. It has surpassed the barrier of unmanned and has reached a level where it can no longer be called a child.
“Your face is very wide open.”
Darkness sighed and pouted. His face was full of dissatisfaction.
“okay?”
“Ugh, you’ve grown so much. “I had to do it gently.”
“Because I provoked it.”
Baek Woo-jin smiled and looked up at the darkness.
“If you just bring up the word ‘system,’ there’s an uproar. “I used that.”
Even while sparring, Heukam went crazy like a hysterical person whenever the word “system” was mentioned.
At that time, Darkness was very dangerous, but he was the most helpful sparring partner.
“thanks. Darkness. After all, you are the best.”
“Damn you! “You won’t die well!”
“I shouldn’t be angry already.”
Baek Woo-jin clicked his tongue.
“huh?”
“Look Carefully.”
Baek Woo-jin pulled out his sword. The energies of fire, water, wind, and earth rose one after another from his sword.
“Didn’t you just write a gwanilgeuk?”
“Now I can use attribute swords for all sword techniques.”
Four Star Style is a trait that can be used to add attributes to all sword techniques.
Now, no matter what sword technique you use, you can contain the energy of the attribute within it.
“The system is crazy! Did you do laundry with your head? “How far do you really plan to spread it?”
Darkness clenched his fists and burst out in anger.
“I can’t do it. You need to get hit a little harder. “I need to hit you in the back some more.”
“That’s good. “I was sad to leave, too.”
Baek Woo-jin aimed his sword at the darkness. His whole body exuded a different energy than before.
Kyaggyaggyak!
When Baek Woo-jin and Heuk-am tried to move, their mental world began to break like a glass window hit by a ball.
* * *
“Hmm….”
Baek Woo-jin opened his eyes again in the hallway where the marble was. When I raised my head, I saw darkness floating in the air.
‘It’s a shame. I didn’t know if I could hit you in the back this time.’
-joy. There is still a long way to go.
Darkness snorted and waved his sword blade.
“You’re awake now… huh?”
As Mu Young-gaek approached Baek Woo-jin, he stopped as if he was possessed.
“what’s the matter?”
“Oh, prosecutor. “The momentum…”
Moo Young-gaek tilted his head with a puzzled expression.
“Your energy and eyes have become so ordinary!”
Concentration flashes in the warrior’s eyes and a unique energy flows from his body.
However, Baek Woo-jin did not have the energy of an ordinary person and his eyes only looked kind.
“Aren’t you training too roughly?”
“That’s not it.”
Jeok-ho came next to Mu-yeong-gaek and shook his head.
“You are in perfect control of your energy.”
“I’m not weak, so don’t worry. “I can give you a round if you want.”
“Oh no!”
Muyounggaek shook his head frantically. His eyes were colored with astonishment.
‘Who knew that it would get to that point in just 7 days!’
Baek Woo-jin was not weakened. He had become so strong that he could not feel it with his keen senses.
“I’m sorry I just woke up, but you have to leave now.”
Jeokho bowed his head politely.
“The rule is to move the person who has received the final reward of compatibility to the outside.”
“If it’s a rule, there’s nothing you can do about it.”
Baek Woo-jin nodded and stood up. He frowned at the dumbfounded look on his face.
“So, what did you do?”
“yes? “I didn’t do anything…”
Moo Young-gaek watched and quietly retreated. When Baek Woo-jin saw Jeok-ho, he let out a deep sigh and opened his mouth.
“You bastard. No, I went around this entire human enemy castle and grabbed everything that glittered. “Not only hidden treasures, but also decorated jewelry and antiques!”
Jeokho’s lips and hands were trembling.
“That bastard, no, that bastard even stole the magic orb from the test room and increased the difficulty of the test! “That devilish bastard!”
“Ah…”
-Ugh….
Baek Woo-jin and Heuk-am shook their heads at the same time. Aside from the jewels, I sighed at the fact that they had even stolen a glowing magic sphere.
“I heard the test room was getting darker. Did you remove the magic sphere?”
“I don’t know when I’ll come to a place like this again, so I took it as a souvenir…”
Moo Young-gaek scratched the back of his head and smiled slyly.
“sorry. “I will return the magic sphere.”
“Because it’s okay. “Please get rid of that person!”
Jeokho gritted his teeth. After a week, I got tired of the person called Muyounggaek.
“what’s the matter? “You’ve been listening to it for about a week.”
“Please go away!”
“Huh…”
Baek Woo-jin looked at Mu Young-gaek with dumbfounded eyes and suddenly had a good idea.
“Where are the humans who came before me now?”
“The humans who took the left path were about to reach the last floor, and the humans who took the right path gave up.”
“give up?”
“As I said, that filthy bastard, no, that human, took out all the magical spheres, which made the test more difficult, so he returned with a serious injury.”
“Hmm…”
Jeokho looked at Muyounggaek with the eyes of a dirty bug. Muyounggaek cleared his throat and looked away.
“Are the guys who cleared the left path also receiving beads as a reward?”
“Because of the compensation we gave to the prosecutor, we overexerted ourselves, so the final compensation will not be received for almost 100 years.”
“That’s a good thing.”
Baek Woo-jin smiled. I felt good because I felt like I had ruined Baek Seong-hyeon’s plan.
“Can you help me with just one thing?”
“I will help if I can.”
“thank you.”
Baek Woo-jin turned his head to Mu Young-gaek after hearing Jeok-ho’s confirmation.
“Younggaek. Have you ever stolen something and left a trace?”
“There are so many.”
“Then that’s it.”
Baek Woo-jin rubbed his hands with a sly smile.
-What are you thinking?
‘I plan to fuck Baek Seong-hyeon properly.’
