There was no time to ask questions.
Baek Woo-jin grasped the darkness as if possessed by a ghost. The black handle felt very familiar and comfortable, like a training sword that had been swung millions of times.
‘Tsk…’
As soon as I caught the darkness, the aurors began to be sucked in. If things continued like this, it seemed like all the aurors would be gone in 30 seconds.
– Baek Woo-jin. Shout out to the night! If you are the person you are now, you can use it!
The darkness sounded more serious and urgent than ever. This was because Baek Woo-jin’s life depended on this moment.
‘Shit!’
Baek Woo-jin saw Sa In-woo’s ax coming right in front of him and thought it was already too late, but he followed the words of darkness.
“It’s an island!”
[The first sword of darkness, the island of massacre, opens.]
As the world slowed down, all of Baek Woo-jin’s aurors were sucked into darkness. I felt extremely dizzy, but I endured it by chewing my tongue.
Hahaha!
From the darkness rose a terrible darkness that oppressed the entire forest. Sainwoo paused for a moment due to the enormous pressure.
-Now!
‘know!’
Baek Woo-jin knew what he had to do with this small opportunity.
‘I can see the line!’
– Cut that line!
As I operated Seomya, a black solid line was drawn in front of my eyes. This is the horizontal cutting line that has been used the most recently. I swung the darkness along that line.
Quaaaaa!
Beyond hundreds of years of time and space, the dark secret world unfolded in the hands of Baek Woo-jin. A suffocating dark energy emerged from the darkness.
“Ah…”
Sain-woo, who had been confident of his victory until a moment ago, looked shocked. Sword energy made no sense. Moreover, the power contained in that sword went beyond its boundaries. No matter what I did, I couldn’t stop it.
“Kwaaaak!”
Sain-woo struggled with his axe, but it was no use.
Sigh!
Seomya tore apart Sain-woo and his ax at the same time. Even after cutting down Sain-woo, Seomya’s sword energy stopped only after he still had enough strength to split the trees and the ground behind him.
“Huh….”
Baek Woo-jin stumbled. I felt nauseous and felt like I was going to pass out at any moment.
“Moon Joo-young!”
Baek Woo-jin was called and Moon Ju-young got down in front of him.
“Protect these… people.”
“I receive orders.”
“Ugh….”
Baek Woo-jin collapsed immediately after ordering Moon Ju-young to protect the people. Originally, he had to faint as soon as he used Seomya, but he showed superhuman patience to protect people.
“Who are you?”
“My name is Moon Ju-young, Master Baek Woo-jin’s bodyguard. From now on, we will take you to a safe place.”
Moon Joo-young answered Jeok Yeon-hwa’s question by hugging Baek Woo-jin.
“Haa….”
Jeok Yeon-hwa relaxed. Baek Woo-jin called him personally, and since he was a direct descendant of the Baek family, he thought he could bring an escort with him. In addition, Moon Joo-young was feeling concerned about Baek Woo-jin.
‘Baek Woo-jin…’
Jeok Yeon-hwa looked at Baek Woo-jin with complicated eyes. I thought it was strong in dungeons, but I never imagined it would be this strong.
I thought I would be able to catch up with him if I just put in a little effort, but the sword he used today seemed like it would be hard to block even if I could have predicted it, and the sword he used last time was hard to believe even after seeing it.
This man is not a genius but a monster.
If it weren’t for Baek Woo-jin, everyone here today wouldn’t have survived.
“Is he okay?”
“It’s just a simple faint caused by overuse of aurors.”
“thank god.”
Moon Ju-young answered Jeok Yeon-hwa and carried Baek Woo-jin. The not-so-heavy weight made me realize that he was only 15 years old.
‘What on earth is this person?’
I was impressed just by the scene where he pushed away Sain-Woo’s ax using a sword technique, but the sword skills he showed at the end were beyond his expectations.
I had no idea how Baek Woo-jin was able to use sword techniques.
‘How on earth are you hiding it?’
I am always amazed by Baek Woo-jin’s new abilities. Looking at him was like looking into a cave with no end in sight.
“You are a difficult owner to handle….”
**
“Chief Younghyun Lee!”
A red-haired young man opened a door marked ‘Measures for criminals with talent’ and entered.
“what.”
A middle-aged man called Manager Younghyun Lee raised his head with a sleepy expression. Looking at the black areas under my eyes, it looked like I hadn’t slept in days.
“Sa Sain-wu is dead.”
“what?”
Lee Young-hyun suddenly stood up. We can’t help but be surprised to hear that Sain-woo, whose whereabouts were not revealed for a while, suddenly died.
“Where were you?
“It looks like he was hiding in the Regen area.”
“That’s why his whereabouts were not revealed. Actually, it’s a good place to hide. Tsk….”
Younghyun Lee clicked his tongue and frowned. In fact, we know that criminals haunt the Regen area, but the reality is that it is difficult to search the entire area because it is so large and complex.
“So who is the hero who killed Sain-woo?”
“My name is Baek Woo-jin.”
“Baek Woo-jin? “Who is that?”
Younghyun Lee tilted his head. Sainwoo is a criminal who killed many people, from ordinary people to the powerful. I thought he was famous enough to kill a guy, but it was the first time I heard that name.
“After researching, I found out that he is the youngest member of the Shingeombaek family.”
“As expected of Shingeombaekga…huh? the youngest? The youngest of the Baek family? So aren’t you in your mid teens? Baek Myung-hoon is 17 or so.”
Younghyun Lee, who had been muttering that Shingeombaekga was amazing, hit the desk in shock.
“That’s right. “I’m 15.”
“Ha….”
Younghyun Lee had a mesmerized expression. I was so surprised that I almost fell backwards.
“Kang Hyo-seop. Are you being rude now? A 15 year old catches a level 4 criminal? Does that make sense? “You bastard!”
“Because it’s real. “I was surprised too!”
Kang Hyo-seop waved his hand and shook his head. I thought I heard it wrong at first and asked it back several times.
“Say it properly. who is this.”
“No, it’s real! All 7 talented people there gave the same answer! Baek Woo-jin killed Sain-woo alone.”
“Oh…”
Lee Young-hyun still couldn’t believe Kang Hyo-seop’s words and kept his mouth open.
“ah! “The youngest daughter of a powerful family and Arcane’s only daughter were also there.”
“Jeok Yeon-hwa and Seo-in?”
“Do you understand?”
“You’re famous for both your skills and your appearance.”
“Anyway, those two also testified that Baek Woo-jin saved them. You may not know Seo In-ah, but you know how proud Jeok Yeon-hwa is, right? “I’m not the type of person to lie like that.”
“Hmm…”
Only after Jeok Yeon-hwa’s name came out did Young-Hyeon Lee nod his head. As a direct descendant of the Jeok family, Jeok Yeon-hwa is famous for being very proud. If she admits it, it means it’s true.
“Then how did you catch it?”
“They say they attacked him with a sword attack and then used sword techniques. evil!”
Lee Young-hyun kicked Kang Hyo-seop’s ass.
“You crazy idiot, does it make sense for a 15-year-old to use sword techniques?”
“Ah, why can’t you trust people like this? “He fainted right away, but he really used it!”
“I’m really going crazy.”
Younghyun Lee also noticed that this was true. I just can’t believe it.
“This is worse than Baek Yeon-hwi or Baek Seong-hyeon.”
“Yes. “They probably weren’t like that at 15.”
The manager chuckled and looked up at the yellowish ceiling as if he was dumbfounded.
“The greatest genius of all time has appeared in Shingeombaekga.”
**
I had a dream.
I was able to realize that I was dreaming.
I think this is a lucid dream or something.
I saw the back of an unknown man.
A black energy was burning in the man’s body, and I felt a familiar feeling from that energy.
The man pulled out the sword hanging from his waist. As he drew his sword, the energy around him shook.
The man drew his sword. It was taking exactly the same path as the island that spread out in darkness.
Sigh!
The moment the man’s island unfolded, my dream was shattered.
“Hmm…”
When I opened my eyes, I saw a familiar dagger surrounded by darkness.
“Darkness.”
-Has it happened now? Weak guy.
“How long did I sleep?”
-It’s two days. Tsk tsk, I fainted for two days just because I used Seomya.
“Haha…”
Baek Woo-jin grinned as he sensed the worry and concern contained in Dark’s blunt words.
“Ah, darkness. “Could it be you…”
When Baek Woo-jin was about to ask about the man he saw in his dream, the door opened and Jeon Jun-hyuk came in.
“You’re awake!”
Jeon Jun-hyuk threw away the things he was holding and ran.
“Fortunately, the! “Are you feeling okay?”
“I’m fine except for a little headache.”
“The therapist said the headache could be due to fainting due to overuse of Aurors.”
“I see.”
Baek Woo-jin nodded. Since all the aurors were sucked in, it is not strange to feel dizzy after fainting. I tried moving my body lightly. There were no particular problems.
“young master. “There are customers who have been waiting since yesterday.”
“Since yesterday?”
“yes. Shall I call you?”
“Do it that way.”
“All right.”
I felt like I knew who the customer was, and I nodded when I heard that they had been waiting since yesterday.
“Are you feeling okay?”
About 10 minutes later, the door was opened and Jeok Yeon-hwa came in. Baek Woo-jin smiled because he was the person he expected.
“it’s okay.”
“Thank you for saving my life.”
Jeok Yeon-hwa bowed her head to Baek Woo-jin. It was a perfectly polite greeting without any other thought.
“If it weren’t for you, I and everyone there would have been killed by Sain-woo. “I couldn’t even react to his axe.”
Jeok Yeon-hwa was speaking her honest feelings. The more self-esteem you have, the more you don’t lie.
“I did what I had to do.”
Baek Woo-jin went to that location after receiving a request to serve as an escort. I really thought I had done my job.
“It means gratitude.”
Jeok Yeon-hwa presented a red bracelet and wooden armor to Baek Woo-jin.
“The bracelet came from the boss. Of course it’s yours. This box is something my brother told me to deliver. “It will help your body recover.”
“thank you.”
Baek Woo-jin nodded lightly. There is absolutely no need to turn down something just because it is given for free. Moreover, if it were her brother, he was a direct descendant of the enemy family, so there was no way he would have given her an ordinary item.
“Um, can I ask you another question about this incident?”
Jeok Yeon-hwa paused for a moment and then opened her mouth.
“Please tell me.”
“Why did you lie?”
“Are you lying?”
“You are a direct descendant of Shingeombaekja. Why did you say no?”
“I’ve never done that before?”
Baek Woo-jin shrugged his shoulders.
“I told you to criticize me because I hate Shingeombaekga!”
“Because it’s true. I never said I wasn’t a Shingeombaekga. “Think about it carefully.”
“Ugh…”
Jeok Yeon-hwa bit her lip. Now that I think about it, Baek Woo-jin has never said that he is not a member of the Baek family. He quietly slipped away by saying that he was swearing at me or that I didn’t like him.
“You’re really being rude. “Not like a man….”
“I only told the truth. You could start cursing the Baek family right now. Shingeombaekga, this damn family!”
Jeok Yeon-hwa burst out laughing as Baek Woo-jin suddenly cursed at Baek family. It’s so ridiculous that I feel like I just ignore it.
“That’s Okay. “I told you what I had to say, and I saw that you were okay, so I’ll leave.”
Jeok Yeon-hwa stood up from her seat.
“I won’t lose next time.”
“I don’t know if you win or lose, but do whatever you want.”
Jeok Yeon-hwa frowned at Baek Woo-jin’s light reply. Unlike Jeok Yeon-hwa, who regards Baek Woo-jin as a rival, Baek Woo-jin had no feelings for Jeok Yeon-hwa.
“I’ll catch up with you so you can never say something like that again!”
“So do whatever you want.”
“Ugh, that’s really hateful!”
Jeok Yeon-hwa closed the door with a bang and went out.
Come on.
When the door opened again, I thought it was Jeok Yeon-hwa, but the person who came in was Seo In-ah.
“I heard you have a headache. Are you okay?”
“It’s nothing serious.”
Seo In-ah looked at Baek Woo-jin with worried eyes.
“Thank you for saving my life.”
“omg!”
Seo In-ah looked at Baek Woo-jin intently and then suddenly got down on her knees and tried to bow. Baek Woo-jin jumped up and stopped Seo In-ah.
“You don’t have to do this. “Why are you doing this to me after hiring me!”
“But it is true that we survived because Baek Woo-jin was there.”
Seo In-ah tilted her head slightly and smiled.
“He said that the criminal was a very dangerous person and that if Baek Woo-jin had not been there, we would all have died. They say that since the place was a place, it would not have been known who killed us.”
That’s true. Seo In-ah in her past life was not alive now, and it is not known who killed her.
“Thanks to you, I was able to get this grass.”
Seo In-ah took out a black thorn plant from her arms and showed it to Baek Woo-jin.
“What are you trying to make with it?”
“It’s a secret now. I’ll show it to you first when it’s completed. “Can I come here again?”
“Of course.”
“thank you. Oh, and…”
Seo In-ah held out the item wrapped in a cloth to Baek Woo-jin.
“You broke your sword. That’s why I want to give you this.”
“Is it a sword?”
“Would you like to solve it?”
Baek Woo-jin’s eyes shook wildly as he unwrapped the wrapping cloth.
“No way, this sword….”
