Episode 203 A sword that splits dimensions (11)
“I can’t believe I’m seeing that again.”
Park Hyeon-seo, a level 7 talent, sighed as he looked at the gray fog that covered the front.
“That’s right. “I thought I’d never see you again.”
Grade 7 wizard Flynn nodded and sighed. It was a fog that made me irritated even if I hadn’t seen it in a long time.
“Is it only three years?”
“I see. “It’s been about three years.”
Park Hyun-seo and Flynn fought under Hwang Byeong-hoon for six years and returned to their hometown three years ago.
I thought I would never have to come to the front anymore, but at Hwang Byeong-hun’s request, I ended up coming to the front after three years.
“What about the other guys?”
“I heard you’ll be a little late. You asked me to come sooner than originally planned. “We are first.”
They were originally supposed to come two weeks later, but because Hwang Byeong-hun made an urgent call, the two arrived at the front line first.
“But is that really true?”
“what?”
“A Korean named Baek Woo-jin cut down the roots of the Black Tree and captured the elite dark elves. “There was an uproar because of that.”
Flynn tilted his head as if it made no sense. I couldn’t believe that a young prosecutor less than 20 years old had done what both Hwang Byeong-hun and Baek Woo-jin’s father, Baek Cheon-hwa, had failed to do.
“It’s probably real.”
“Really?”
“Commander, you are not the kind of person who would lie about something like that. And that prosecutor named Baek Woo-jin is currently one of the most famous talents in Korea.”
“That famous?”
“It might be hard to believe if you look at her age. What he did recently…”
Hwang Byeong-hoon told us about the surprising and tremendous cases that Baek Woo-jin solved before he came to the front lines.
“Mi crazy! The guy who did that wasn’t even 20 years old? Is this human? “Isn’t it a monster?”
“It’s a monster, right? At first they called him a genius, but now they call him a monster. “They also say it’s called cooperation or cooperation.”
“Then I guess we can really look forward to it?”
“I don’t know if I can cut off the black neck, but wouldn’t I be able to erase the dark zone?”
Park Hyun-seo and Flynn headed to the gray zone with expectations for Baek Woo-jin in their steps.
“I see it over there. Damn black neck!”
“Fuck! “I swear as soon as I see it!”
The two people frowned at the same time as they saw the black tree rising to the sky. As soon as I saw it, two words automatically came out.
“If someone told me to cut down that black neck right away, I would do anything. anything!”
“anything?”
“okay. “You can take off your pants and dance and sing in Gwanghwamun.”
Park Hyun-seo chuckled. It was a joke because it couldn’t be done anyway, but I could have done more if I wanted to.
“Really?”
“why? “Do you want to bear it?”
“I have to cut myself to see you dancing with your pants off, right?”
“Hahaha!”
The two people laughed and laughed at the dull joke. Still, after laughing, I felt like my frustration and irritation had subsided a little.
“Let’s go in now.”
“Haha…huh?”
Park Hyun-seo, who was sighing while looking at the black neck, opened her mouth wide.
“hey! That one! Look at that!”
“What are you looking at…huh!”
The two people’s eyes got so big that they seemed like they were going to pop out, and their mouths opened as if their jaws would fall out.
“Ahhh!”
“Uuuh….”
The cursed black neck was tilting.
Coooooo!
The black tree sank and the earth shook. A flash of light shot up into the sky, and the black and gray fog that covered the dark zone and gray zone disappeared.
Phew.
The wind blowing from the front was filled with a natural scent that I could not feel three years ago. That awful, thick smell of fog no longer existed.
“What! “What!”
“What is this…”
“Huh!”
Those with abilities protecting the portal lost strength in their legs and sat down on the floor, trembling. All the humans here forgot to breathe for a moment.
The talented people froze and looked endlessly ahead, where the fog had disappeared.
“hey.”
Flynn looked at Hyunseo Park with mesmerized eyes. Hyunseo Park turned her head to Flynn with bloodshot eyes.
“Gwanghwamun…Pants….”
**
Baek Yeon-hwi was shocked twice today and shed tears once.
The first surprise was when Baek Woo-jin awakened his strength while fighting a high elf.
I knew that I grew quickly and that I grew while fighting, but I never thought that I would reach strength all at once.
Baek Woo-jin was a monster beyond his understanding.
The second surprise, of course, was when Baek Woo-jin cut off the black neck. The barrier created by the black tree was extremely powerful.
To be honest, I didn’t think Baek Woo-jin could break the curtain.
But Baek Woo-jin awakened once more at that moment. He reached the level of Shingeomhapil, the state of becoming one with the sword, and cut down the black neck.
At that moment, the expressions on Hwang Byeong-hun’s and myself could not be described in words. It was an emotion and expression that went beyond shock.
“Ah…”
Red sunlight poured down from the open sky. The monsters melted away and the people cheered. It was a cry of joy heard for the first time in decades in this land.
“Aaaah!”
Baek Yeon-hwi also cheered like a child like everyone else. I wasn’t ashamed. I wanted to enjoy the various emotions I was feeling right now.
“It’s finally over.”
Hwang Byeong-Hoon trembled with his closed fist. Clear tears flowed from his wrinkled eyes. After fighting for decades, victory was finally achieved. I had no intention of stopping the tears that flowed.
“Commander…”
Baek Yeon-hwi felt her heart sink when she saw Hwang Byeong-hun’s tears. He too couldn’t hold it back and shed tears.
“Wow!”
“I won!”
“The black neck was broken!”
“We won!”
The cries of the powerful were heard towards the sky. It was loud enough to tear my throat, but there was no one to stop it. Everyone cheered towards the sky with the same heart.
“Baek Woo-jin!”
“Baek Woo-jin! Baek Woo-jin!”
A prosecutor called Baek Woo-jin’s name, and all the talented people started shouting Baek Woo-jin’s name.
“Baek Woo-jin!”
“Baek Woo-jin!”
Impression, surprise, gratitude, sorry, gratitude, longing, wish, salvation, hero ability, they called out Baek Woo-jin’s name with a sound filled with countless emotions and thoughts.
“let’s go! “To greet today’s hero!”
“yes!”
Hwang Byeong-hun and Baek Yeon-hwi crossed the root with wide smiles. I approached the base of the black tree where the dust was clearing.
“uh?”
“hmm?”
The two people frowned. Even though the dust that erupted from the fall of the black tree had almost settled, Baek Woo-jin was nowhere to be seen.
“What! “Where have you gone?”
“Woojin! Woojin!”
Baek Yeon-hwi bit her lip and ran to Heukmok. Baek Woo-jin was not there. No matter where I looked, I couldn’t even see a shadow. All that was there was his beloved sword stuck in the ground.
“young master!”
“I believed it this time too!”
“Let’s go eat meat quickly!”
“hmm? “What about you, Master?”
“Where are you, Master…”
The medical examiner chattered and approached the black tree. Their faces, which had been filled with laughter, began to distort.
“Master Tao!”
Hong A-ra looked around with blank eyes, but Baek Woo-jin’s shadow was nowhere to be seen. There was no trace of him anywhere.
“Commander Four!”
“I can’t see you, Master!”
“Where are you, Master?”
“I don’t know. “It’s gone.”
Baek Yeon-hwi shook his head with mesmerized eyes. It was clear that Woojin had cut off the black neck, but it was unclear when and how he disappeared.
I don’t know if it was when the darkness passed and the dust rose, or when the light rose.
“Are you sure he’s dead?”
Words that no one else could say came out of Hong Nam-gi’s mouth.
“That’s not it. “He’s not dead.”
Hwang Byeong-hun shook his head roughly. I clearly saw Baek Woo-jin cutting off Black’s neck. If I had collapsed because my strength was gone, there was no way I would have died.
“Master…”
Hong Ara sat down and hugged the Dark Sword with trembling hands.
**
News that the Dark Zone was erased and the Black Tree collapsed spread all over the world.
Big guild owners, executives of the association, market presidents, and other big names whose names you might recognize rushed to the front.
The purpose was to find out what was happening on the front line and to obtain the best material called black wood.
People from outside thought there would be a festive atmosphere at the front, but the atmosphere there was somber that it felt heavy.
Even though the Black Tree was destroyed and the Dark Zone and Gray Zone were completely purified, the talented people on the front lines did not return home.
As the number and danger of monsters decreased, so many people were no longer needed, but they did not leave the front line.
Everyone, from Hwang Byeong-hun to the lowest-ranking person, took turns and held the position where the black tree was.
People who came to the front had questions. I know that Baek Woo-jin did a great job, but I couldn’t figure out why he did it this way.
At that time, Hwang Byeong-hun gathered people from outside and spoke.
Everyone here owes their lives to him.
If it weren’t for him, not a single person would have survived.
If it weren’t for him, there would have been a crisis that this world couldn’t handle.
If it weren’t for him, cutting off the Black Head or purifying the Dark Zone would have been impossible.
The owner of the black tree is Baek Woo-jin, and they said that until he appears, no one will be able to touch the black tree and they will not move.
Owners of very large guilds, executives of associations, owners of the market, and people with the greatest talent on one hand came to visit, but Hwang Byeong-hun made no exception.
Not a single root or twig of the black tree was handed over.
Hwang Byeong-Hoon was not the only one. Even the talented people at the front paid no attention to the outside giants who came late.
The person who fought alongside them and saved them was Baek Woo-jin, not those famous people.
The talented people at the front swore an oath.
I decided to protect this land until the hero who ended the nightmare returns.
**
I had a dream.
A huge stone statue of unknown identity was seen. It was a bizarre-looking stone statue that had the appearance of both a human and a devil.
There were two people under the statue.
The tall man on the left was dark. His face was no longer shrouded in fog.
Although his appearance was rough enough to be called wild, his eyes showed the spirit of grand chivalry.
The man on the right had a beautiful appearance, contrasting with the darkness. He was a man with thin blonde hair, so you could almost believe he was a woman, but his aura was extremely dark.
The two people were talking five steps away.
Darkness gritted his teeth and burst out in anger, and the blonde man laughed at Darkness and waved his hand.
I thought it was an enemy or an enemy, but there was sadness in the dark eyes. Contrary to what it seemed, it seemed like they had a close relationship.
The dark and blond man gave up on conversation and simultaneously pulled out the sword from his belt.
The two prosecutors, who were glaring at each other, jumped in like protection at the same time.
Heukam used techniques that were more powerful than just Heuksal, but the blonde man was no slouch either.
It was equal to the darkness with a sophisticated yet surprising and deadly attack.
The fight was fierce. Although they did not aim for each other’s lives, there were attacks that were enough to cause harm.
The two men who fought from sunset to sunrise lowered their swords at the same time.
Darkness gritted his teeth and lowered his head, and the blonde man turned and walked away.
“…!”
The dream was broken the moment the darkness opened its mouth and called out to the blonde man.
**
“Gasp!”
Baek Woo-jin took a deep breath and opened his eyes. I saw darkness floating like a cloud.
“Darkness!”
-You finally woke up.
“Did you see your dream?”
-Of course. It’s as expected.
“uh? “Then who is that blonde…”
-I’m so handsome. As I expected, I was the ultimate handsome man.
The darkness smiled in satisfaction and nodded its blade. It was a very satisfying nod.
“You really…”
– Just kidding. Unfortunately, I don’t remember who that guy was. But when I saw that guy, my heart ached for no reason.
The voice of darkness quieted down in an instant. I felt bitter about my past that I could not remember.
-When I saw what was going on, it seemed like he was my friend or acquaintance. It seemed like there was a conflict of opinion.
“i think so too.”
Baek Woo-jin nodded. The two seemed friendly and seemed to be at odds over something. Moreover, it was the first time that one person appeared from memories of darkness. He must be an important person.
-Think about my dreams later. Anyway, even if I think about it now, there is nothing I can know.
“That’s right. But…”
Baek Woo-jin looked around and frowned.
“Where on earth is this?”
There was yellow mold growing on the walls and ceiling, and he was covered in a tattered blanket. It is not a front-line infirmary. Because it was a much cleaner and more organized place than here.
“Why is the treatment like this?”
There were bandages and band-aids all over the body, but they looked very clumsy. There was no fluid and it seemed like she had applied herbal medicine rather than a recovery medicine.
Even though he wasn’t treated like a hero, it was strange in many ways because there was no way he would be treated like this.
-I was so surprised that my heart dropped.
“what?”
-See it with your own eyes.
Darkness pointed the blade of his sword at the window. Baek Woo-jin’s mouth opened like a clam as he looked up at the night sky.
“What what! This place!”
