Episode 186 Mansangbo
“What is this?”
The hole in the floor was stained black and the inside was not visible at all.
“I don’t know. “Do you know what Carden is?”
“Do you understand it’s me?”
The lichs were also visibly embarrassed as they did not know the identity of the hole.
“You really don’t know?”
“As I said before, we were a small group, so we were on the 7th floor, not the top floor. “I could only come in here after the owner left.”
Carden shook his head. When the owner was there, you couldn’t even set foot in this place.
“Come down.”
“yep!”
At Baek Woo-jin’s hand gesture, Mu Young-gaek came down to the floor like a squirrel. Even during this time, the huge jewel was not let go.
-I really can’t decide what he’s doing. There was no one like that even on our continent.
“How come you cause trouble everywhere you go? “Are you doing this on purpose?”
“Not at all. “I guess I washed my hands in shit water.”
Muyounggaek laughed and scratched the back of his head. Of course, he was holding onto the jewel as if it was already his.
“How did you find that? “There were no rubies like that on the ceiling.”
“There was a small gap in the ceiling, so I opened it and this jewel fell into my arms! “I had a dream about a pig last night, and I guess that pig turned into a gem…”
– Damn.
“Haa…”
Baek Woo-jin shook his head and turned his gaze to the Liches who were examining the hole.
“Do you know what this is?”
“I can feel the master’s magic. “It is true that He made it.”
Carden removed his hand from the hole and a blue flame appeared in his eyeball. The smell of the owner’s magic power was wafting from the hole.
“Is it possible that it is a signal to call the dragon or a passage to him?”
“That won’t be it. Dragons don’t look back on their pastime. “My master must have completely lost his affection for this castle.”
-That’s right, that skeleton said. To a dragon, entertainment is just a game. That lizard guy also enjoys entertainment a little too seriously, but his true nature is a dragon.
“Right.”
Baek Woo-jin let out a sigh of regret. I was looking forward to meeting an actual dragon, but it looks like I’ll have to postpone it until later.
Ugh!
Carden searched the hole with his magic and nodded.
“This is a passageway for spatial movement. “It seems to be heading deep underground in this castle.”
“What is the risk?”
“It’s a little bit, but it’s not the passage itself that’s dangerous, but what’s after you leave the passage that’s dangerous. As I said, my master was eccentric and unusual.”
“That’s right.”
“Huh!”
Baek Woo-jin looked down the aisle and grabbed Mu Young-gaek by the back. Embarrassed, Muyoung shrugged his shoulders.
“That prosecutor?”
“Because you opened it. “Let’s go in together.”
“yes? “Now wait a minute!”
Baek Woo-jin threw himself into the black passage with Mu Young-gaek. As soon as I entered the passage, my feet touched the ground and the environment before my eyes changed.
-It looks like a training hall or training center?
‘I agree.’
The old castle disappeared and a wide open space appeared. The space itself was as wide as a soccer field, but inside there was a place surrounded by a round membrane like a dome.
“That prosecutor! “There are people over there!”
Muyeonggaek pointed to the people in the space surrounded by a round curtain. About 30 people with red hats were looking at this place, holding various weapons.
“That’s not a person.”
Baek Woo-jin shook his head without being embarrassed.
“yes?”
“It’s lifeless. “It looks like a stone statue or doll.”
Although they had human shapes, they did not feel the slightest bit of life. It was a carefully made Mana doll.
“When did you make something like this again?”
“It is, of course, the basement of the castle. “It’s a long way below, though.”
The lichs who came in late were in vain. This place was not at the level of the first or second basement level, but was extremely deep.
“If you both come down, who will take care of the swordsmen? “Go up one person.”
“uh? That’s right. Then I’ll go up!”
As soon as Fes heard Baek Woo-jin’s words, he turned around. The reaction speed was so fast that I was amazed.
“Hey, wait a minute! I’ll go…”
“Oh my mistake!” “I’ll go first.”
Fes pretended it was a mistake and slipped back into the exit he had just come from.
“shit!”
Carden hit the ground with his bony fist.
“That bastard went there to decide the route on his own! Prosecutor. Please give me a chance…”
“Haa…”
Baek Woo-jin sighed deeply after hearing Carden’s words. The Riches really fell in love with the game, not just the concept.
– Baek Woo-jin. You created a monster. Apologize to the souls of those guys.
“Do that later and get up. “What on earth is this place?”
Baek Woo-jin shook his head with a confused face and helped Carden up.
“Like I said, I don’t know much. But…”
Carden stepped forward and pointed to the round membrane containing the doll.
“Mana is flowing from within. “They will probably move the moment we enter.”
-The dolls have various weapons? What kind of training did you mean?
As Heukam said, the weapons of the dolls were diverse, including small swords, great swords, swords, spears, arches, maces, sickles, and staffs.
“You’ll find out when you get there.”
Baek Woo-jin entered the round curtain. The moment I passed the curtain, my senses became keener as if I had entered a space of dense mana.
Chiiing!
When Baek Woo-jin completely entered the round space, a blue light came on from the dolls’ eyes.
Pudddeuk!
The dolls’ joints began to move with a harsh sound like a wooden board breaking.
That’s it!
The dolls showed soft movements, unlike those that had been asleep for a long time. The blade of the weapon he had was not damaged at all.
“Prosecutor!”
“are you okay.”
Baek Woo-jin waved his hands and focused on the dolls approaching him.
“uh?”
-oh!
Baek Woo-jin and Heuk-am let out a laugh when they saw the suddenly faster movement of the dolls. The dolls were running, walking on foot, as if they were unmanned.
Whoa!
The doll wearing the gauntlet in front stretched out its fist towards Baek Woo-jin. It’s not just a simple punch. It contained powerful mana and skilled orbit.
Pow!
Baek Woo-jin turned his body to the left to avoid the doll’s fist. He raised his sword and broke the doll’s head in one go.
Grumpy.
The doll with the broken head crumbled into powder and the mana contained in the doll seeped into the floor and disappeared.
Huh!
Even though the head of the monk doll exploded, the other dolls did not stop. They attacked Baek Woo-jin, swinging swords, maces, and spears.
-uh? These guys….
‘It’s not just footwork. The movement itself is at the level of unmanned.’
The dolls were using footwork and martial arts appropriate for the weapons they had. However, because there was a difference in level, Baek Woo-jin was able to destroy all the dolls without difficulty.
“It’s not difficult.”
Baek Woo-jin broke the last archer doll and inserted the Dark Sword.
“Prosecutor. “Can you come this way?”
“why?”
“I need to check something.”
After hearing Carden’s words, Baek Woo-jin came out of the round curtain, and blue aura bloomed from the floor and was absorbed by the powdered dolls.
Ugh!
As the blue mana rippled and time went back, the shattered dolls began to return to their original form.
“play?”
“Those are magic-infused dolls.”
“Magic injection type?”
“yes. These are dolls that regenerate endlessly when magical power is injected into them. “I didn’t know it was possible to teach martial arts or magic to that extent, but…”
“Why did you make this?”
“It seems to have something to do with entertainment, but I don’t even know why.”
Carden shook his head. He couldn’t judge his master because he was so unique.
-I know that.
‘really?’
-Just as the skeleton said, this was a preparation place for entertainment.
‘Preparation location?’
-You said I met Servik before, right?
‘okay.’
-Servik was playing a hero in human form. The concept at that time was that of a genius puppeteer.
‘A genius puppeteer?’
Baek Woo-jin frowned. After being the king of the undead, playing a hero and also being a puppeteer seemed childish and gave me goosebumps.
-This guy ran amok as a puppeteer in the continental war. I thought it was strange that, for a doll made by a dragon, it was well-trained in human martial arts, but it turns out it was practicing here.
‘You’re doing this for entertainment?’
-Are you still saying that after seeing the lion’s castle up there? Servik is a lizard that is crazy about entertainment.
‘That’s right.’
When I thought about the scale of the Lion’s Castle, my head automatically nodded. Servik was a truly crazy dragon. I felt like I was seeing a martial artist of a different race.
‘For some reason, I feel like we’ll meet again sometime.’
Looking at the dolls, Baek Woo-jin felt a sense of familiarity with a dragon named Servik, whom he had never seen before.
-okay!
Heukam looked at the doll and Baek Woo-jin alternately, then jumped up like a red sea bream.
-You train here.
‘training?’
-Puppets with various abilities such as swords, swords, spears, and blunt weapons move endlessly and even regenerate. Perfect for training!
‘I agree with the various attack methods, but will they help?’
-I’m not telling you to spar with these guys.
Darkness continued, pointing at the dolls with the blade of his sword.
-Train your footwork with these guys.
‘Bobeop?’
-Your guy still only uses anonymous footwork and Hoeryeong. How long do you think that will work?
‘Hmm…’
-Your swordsmanship is good enough to not be ignored anywhere. But the method of footwork is still insufficient.
Heukam tapped the dolls’ heads with the blade of his sword.
-Those dolls use various types of attacks and have their own levels. Sensitivity to your senses due to the mana membrane will also help. Use those guys to perfect your walking technique.
‘It’s the completion of footwork…’
Baek Woo-jin nodded. The growth of Bobeop was one of the important tasks. If the level of fighting techniques had been high, it would have been easier to suppress Honwon and withstand Daeyeonmunju’s attacks.
‘It’s been a while since you said something right.’
Baek Woo-jin entered the round curtain again. His eyes lit up as he saw the dolls running towards him.
‘Let’s get started right away.’
* * *
Zeno’s main conference room beneath the Pacific Ocean.
Zenon master Kim Nam-gil was chewing a round piece of chocolate and looking down at the endless sea.
smart.
With a slightly dull knock, a secretary in a black suit entered the room.
“What happened?”
“Please look at the screen.”
When the secretary pressed the remote control, a picture of Gray’s body appeared through the glass that illuminated the sea.
Perhaps because he died with so much pain, his entire body was bleeding and he couldn’t even close his eyes.
“Hmm…”
Kim Nam-gil stroked his chin and focused on the photo. Although he looked like he was in his 20s, his actions were like those of a middle-aged or elderly man.
“No information about the Demon Spear Kirikas has been found yet. Since even the association doesn’t know what it is, I guess Baek Woo-jin took it.”
“That’s not it.”
Kim Nam-gil’s eyes sparkled as blue as the sea.
“The magic spear has disappeared. “It was torn to pieces too.”
Kim Nam-gil patted the table and smiled.
The reason Gray, who was resistant to pain, was so distorted was because he felt extreme pain as the magic spear broke. It was clear that Baek Woo-jin destroyed the magic spear.
“Yes?”
The secretary’s eyes widened in disbelief.
‘The magic spear was broken?’
Magic spears or magic swords cannot be destroyed using normal methods. It is a special object that cannot be destroyed unless it is a demonic sword like the Absolute Ones in the world.
“Then…”
“If Baek Woo-jin really killed Gray, he might have a magic sword.”
“It’s a magic sword!”
“okay. “It makes sense this way.”
I thought it was strange that Baek Woo-jin had so much strength for his age, but now I understand.
“This guy used nearly twice as many aurors for a moment when blocking the Great Yeonmunju attack. “I guess that’s the magic sword’s ability.”
Kim Nam-gil was mistaken in thinking that Geomseonjigeumun was the ability of a magic sword. Actually, that was natural. Because the powers of darkness were beyond human common sense.
“Gather all the information about Baek Woo-jin. “Investigate all other guilds in the Black Market Association.”
“Oh, I understand.”
“What is Cheolgwi doing?”
“I am taking a rest after annihilating the Kadun guild three days ago.”
“It’s just right.”
Kim Nam-gil gestured with his hand and smiled darkly and deeply.
“Once you gather the information, immediately send it to Cheolgwi. “You should leave the young monsters to the old monsters.”
* * *
“Whoa….”
Baek Woo-jin let out a rough breath. I have been living with the dolls and practicing footwork for two weeks now. My training level increased a lot, but I was still one step short.
-I’ll give you a hint. Think of your feet as swords.
‘Sword-footed?’
-Have you heard the saying to think of the sword as an extension of your hand?
‘That’s what a lot of people say.’
-It’s the same as that. Think of it as unraveling the tricks of swordsmanship through footwork. I’ve been training like that, but if I can’t even do that, I have to look back.
‘Anyway, you talk too harshly.’
Baek Woo-jin grunted but did not stop his steps. I avoided the merciless attacks of the dolls with my back to me.
‘It’s a swordsmanship performed with the feet…’
A doll using a sword and a sword and a spear rushed at the same time, but Baek Woo-jin stepped on his feet as smoothly as water and turned all the attacks to nothing.
Chaaaang!
The dolls continued to attack without stopping. Baek Woo-jin was explosive like fire and moved as quickly as the wind to shed those attacks. It was a much cleaner move than before.
-okay. Do it.
Perhaps thanks to the little advice, Baek Woo-jin’s movements have become much better than before. Thanks to the increased understanding and abilities, the learning speed was faster than expected.
thud!
Baek Woo-jin put the energy of heaviness into his stride and struck the ground. With the heavy sound of falling rocks, the dolls’ movements began to slow down.
Kugugu!
The energy of heaviness that Baek Woo-jin released through his walking techniques suppressed the movements of the dolls.
Quaaaaa!
The 30 puppets drew out mana at the same time as if they were planning a strategy.
‘Pleasure and brain. Like practicing swordsmanship….’
Baek Woo-jin only used aura in his walking techniques and did not wear any aura on his body. A smile bloomed in the rain of dangerous attacks that would have split the flesh with just one hit.
Absolutely!
Baek Woo-jin’s whole body flashed with brain energy. Using brain skills, he discovered the secret of kwaeui using footwork. A combination of brain and pleasure showed extreme speed in his feet. The dolls’ attack did not even pass by Baek Woo-jin’s clothes.
Ding!
[The techniques of swordsmanship you have acquired are in harmony with the footwork.]
[The only footwork in the world, Mansangbo, has been created.]
The footwork of Mansangbo was drawn in Baek Woo-jin’s mind like a work drawn by a rare artist. lost.
Kwaaaaang!
Baek Woo-jin slowly hit the ground with his raised foot. It was a sword reigning supreme that contained the wisdom of battle and martial arts.
The entire gym collapsed in the heavy, heavy, and strong current of Geomjegunrimbo, and the dolls on the ground exploded.
“Mansangbo….”
Baek Woo-jin clenched his fists. Mansangbo was different from the general walking method.
It is not a perfect herbal formula, but it has gaps in the herbivorous formula, so it was created to contain martial arts techniques appropriate to the situation. It was the only step in the world just for him.
“What do you think?”
-Tsk, this is a step that would be a waste for you. Anyway, a guy who can do anything can do anything.
Darkness clicked its tongue and turned around. The praise for Mansangbo was clear.
“But why can’t this be restored?”
Baek Woo-jin tilted his head. The collapsed ground and broken dolls remained broken and unrecovered.
“Ah…”
Carden was unable to close his whale-like mouth. I was completely surprised by the power and scope of the step method I was seeing for the first time.
“Carden?”
“Oh yeah! “It looks like its lifespan has come to an end.”
“life span? “Is it because I broke it?”
“no. This is a temporary training ground created by the master for entertainment. In fact, it was brave of me to hold on until now.”
“okay? “Then I guess I’ll have to take it out now.”
“yes? “What are you taking away?…”
Baek Woo-jin looked at the dolls with regret and moved to the center of the training ground. He threw away the broken pieces and dug up the ground.
Ugh!
A moment later, Baek Woo-jin held an octagonal jewel emitting blue light in his hand.
