Episode 214 Upon his return
, Baek Woo-jin felt more satisfied than ever.
The body was so light as to fly, and a huge aura that seemed to contain the sea waved from the dantian.
“It’s a bit much.”
When I opened my eyes, the messages I had missed while practicing were coming up.
[Internal and external injuries have fully recovered.]
[The level of hyper-concentration has increased.]
The first message seen is that the injuries have recovered and the level of hyper-concentration has risen to level 4.
“Is this why you were able to concentrate well?”
I think the reason I was able to concentrate better and the pain disappeared when I practiced was because I received those two benefits.
-That’s not all. You monolithic bastard!
“huh?”
I heard the oppressive voice of darkness and saw the messages behind it.
[Physical abilities have increased.]
[Mana abilities have increased.]
[The five-star abilities have increased.] [Physical abilities have increased.
]
This time, the messages were that the abilities have increased. Since I already knew about the changes in my body and dantian, I immediately read the next message.
[The sensitivity of the four major attributes has increased.]
[The resistance to the four major attributes has increased.]
[The energy of the four major spirits has increased due to your influence.]
The following is a message that the energy of the spirits of sensitivity and resistance has increased. It was an income obtained by sharing the fruit and the energy of the world tree with the spirits.
-There are so many of them!
Darkness struck the message with his blade as if he was not happy with this situation.
Ding!
But the system’s message is not over yet.
[As a result of the increased sensitivity to the four major attributes, a new ability is created in the Four Stars.]
A message that a new ability is created in the Four Stars suddenly appeared.
“New abilities?”
-You’re giving me something more to add to the already fraudulent traits!
Darkness was furious. Four-seongryu is a fraudulent ability that borrows the attributes or characteristics of spirits. I was already scared as to what else they were going to add to that.
“You’ll know that when you see it.”
Immediately, the explanation of the Four Seongryu was called.
[You can borrow the energy of spirits to demonstrate additional abilities when using an attribute sword.]
[Fire: Increases attack power.]
[Water: Reduces internal injury damage.]
[Wind: Increases attack speed and movement speed.]
[Earth: Trauma damage. Decrease.]
Baek Woo-jin could not keep his mouth shut as he read the messages that kept coming up. The Four Stars have been strengthened with characteristics that provide special benefits to all four attributes, not just one.
“Crazy…”
The word crazy came out without me realizing it.
It gave additional abilities to all four major attributes, and all of those abilities were necessary for battle. To be honest, it’s gotten so much better that it’s ridiculous.
-Ha, if you decide to give it away, is there anything you can see?
Darkness was speechless after seeing the message. Saseongryu, which was originally a fraud, was made into a fraud that made people swear.
-System: Doesn’t this crazy guy know what balance is? You’re so thoughtless! Even if I sell it, I won’t do it like this!
“Fuck.”
Unlike the darkness that showed his temper, Baek Woo-jin smiled with satisfaction.
-I can’t admit this! Until dirt got into my eyes….
“What dirt is dirt for a guy with no eyes! “Get out of the way.”
Baek Woo-jin sent the struggling darkness back and saw the spirits.
“Has the color become darker?”
Since it was not the main body, the size of the spirits did not increase, but their color became darker and their energy increased significantly. He wasn’t the only one who grew.
[Crying!]
[Kyaung!]
The spirits purred as if they were in a good mood and came to Baek Woo-jin and rubbed their bodies.
-I….
“Huh?”
-Why don’t you take care of me? Take care of me too!
The darkness exploded the emotions that had been suppressed for so long.
-You take care of Baek Woo-jin and raise the spirits, so why am I the only one who borrows it?
“You should have lined up well.”
Baek Woo-jin shook his head as if he felt sorry and patted the spirits.
“Life is a shortcut.”
**
Whoo!
About 100 swordsmen, regardless of whether they were elves, dwarves or humans, swung their swords in a horseback riding stance.
“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
his
hiss
…. his.
“Who made the moaning sound?”
“….”
As Baek Woo-jin’s bloody eyes shined, the groans heard from the prosecutors became quiet, as if they had been muted.
“The only thing that should be heard is the sound of the sword cutting through the wind.”
“yes!”
The prosecutors twirled their dry tongues and let out loud shouts.
“It hasn’t even started yet. “Why are prosecutors so physically weak?”
Baek Woo-jin taught basic sword techniques and posture not only to Dapple but also to other prosecutors. It was because they had to protect this place after he left.
“All swordsmanship begins with four horizontal, vertical, and diagonal thrusts. “If you learn just those four things, it will be much easier to learn other sword techniques.”
“It is a hundred times better to fight with only basic sword techniques than to use a clumsy sword that is not properly learned.”
“For a prosecutor, there is nothing more important than posture. “Even if it takes a lot of time, the faster way is to learn solid posture and balance.”
The prosecutors listened to Baek Woo-jin’s advice with their eyes shining brightly.
They knew that Baek Woo-jin was a monster who killed Boran, the demon of the divine sword, and defeated Ifrit’s blue flame with a single sword.
With such a sword expert personally teaching me the posture and giving me advice, I couldn’t help but feel like a revelation from heaven.
‘You must never forget every word you say.’
‘I will definitely learn at least one more thing.’
‘This is something you can’t learn anywhere else.’
The prosecutors pledged that they would not forget Baek Woo-jin’s advice and the posture he had corrected even after death.
“Starting with another set of basic sword techniques.”
“yes!”
Following Baek Woo-jin’s instructions, the prosecutors began striking their swords again.
-It holds up pretty well.
‘If you can’t do this much, you should put down your sword.’
-You, not those guys. you!
The person that Darkness praised was not those prosecutors, but Baek Woo-jin.
‘He’s really crazy about training.’
Baek Woo-jin spread heavy sword energy throughout the training hall, creating a space where it was difficult for the swordsmen to move. I was teaching them swordsmanship and training with a heavy sword at the same time.
The swordsmen who wielded their swords with a heavier body than usual were amazing, but Baek Woo-jin, who sprayed all of them with the energy of a heavy sword, was a monster himself.
“Master! It’s done! Would you like one more set?”
Dapple, who finished a set of basic sword techniques first, smiled broadly and waved his hand.
“When you’re done, take a break. And I am not your teacher.”
“All right!”
Dapple wasn’t even hurt anymore. I nodded and took a deep breath.
“Finally, we will finish today’s training after doing one set of basic swordsmanship.”
Baek Woo-jin checked the status of the prosecutors and ordered finishing training.
“yes!”
“All right!”
The swordsmen maintained their upright posture and repeated basic sword techniques.
He swung his sword with all his concentration, not simply to make up the number. This was also a training attitude learned from Baek Woo-jin.
“Whoa….”
“It’s over!”
After 40 minutes, all prosecutors finished training. Even though they were tired, they smiled proudly.
“I have completed all the training you instructed.”
“Today ended sooner than expected. “Let’s do one more set.”
Baek Woo-jin, who heard Deple’s report, looked at the setting sun and raised his index finger.
“yes?”
“Ha, but today….”
“But there is no. “Start right away.”
Baek Woo-jin resumed training with a cheerful voice. The prosecutors raised their swords again with dark faces.
The reason the prosecutors had serious expressions was not because the training was difficult, but because today was Baek Woo-jin’s last day here.
“All right!”
Dapp held back tears and answered calmly.
‘He’s the same person from beginning to end.’
Baek Woo-jin spent time training them until the last day he could stay here. He was a grateful and respectful person.
“let’s begin!”
“let’s go!”
Not only Dapple, but all the swordsmen here held back the intense emotions that made the tips of their noses tingle and slashed their swords.
Baek Woo-jin saved them without receiving anything in return and even taught them swordsmanship. It was no exaggeration to say that he was not just a benefactor, but a god.
“one!”
The loud sound of the prosecutors cheering echoed through the forest.
**
“Thank you for your hard work!”
The prosecutors who finished training bowed their heads politely to Baek Woo-jin.
“great job.”
Baek Woo-jin was greeted and looked at the prosecutors one by one. Although it was a short period of time, I was proud to be able to make a change in my own way.
Ding!
[The time has come to leave this place to avoid the eyes of ??? Please go to the place where the World Tree is.]
When I was about to return to the center of the forest, a message with a different feeling than before appeared.
‘Who is ????’
-How would I know? But how can I not know you when you cause this mess and disappear?
‘The system will take care of that.’
As initially expected, the system seemed to be trying to avoid someone on this continent and send it back.
‘Anyway, I really should go.’
Baek Woo-jin closed the message and walked to the center of the Rhine Forest.
The prosecutors followed suit with darkened complexions. I couldn’t lift my head up because of the regret that Baek Woo-jin had disappeared.
“Master! “I will take care of you!”
Deple smiled brightly and followed Baek Woo-jin’s side. I hated breaking up with him more than anyone else here, but I wanted to send him off with a smile.
“I am not your teacher.”
“haha! i know.”
Baek Woo-jin laughed and hit Dapple on the back of the head with honey. Dapple grinned and nodded.
The two headed to the center of the forest, chatting about swordsmanship and future events.
“Why is it so grandiose…”
Baek Woo-jin scratched his cheek as if he was embarrassed. In front of the World Tree, all the races in the Rhine Forest were already gathered and waiting for him.
Some people shed tears and others, like Dapple, forced a smile.
“Are you going now?”
The tycoon in front exhaled gray smoke and smiled helplessly.
“I have to go.”
“It’s a shame. “There were a lot of things I wanted to make for you…”
The workshop was not yet complete and there were no good materials. It was too bad that we couldn’t make something good for Baek Woo-jin.
“This is enough. And it’s not like I’ll ever see you again.”
Baek Woo-jin laughed, waving the combat uniform made by Tycoon.
“I’ll definitely see you again. “I will prepare the best things for you.”
“I’m looking forward to it.”
Baek Woo-jin and Tycoon grinned and bumped their fists.
“Woojin.”
Silvia and Luca were standing right under the World Tree, supporting Kazan.
“I meet my benefactor.”
Kazan fell to his knees and fell flat. His eyes were shining transparently like Sylvia’s. It is out of the darkness.
“I woke up a little while ago. “I heard you really wanted to meet Woojin…”
“I have something I want to tell you.”
Kazan lifted his head from his knees.
“Beware of the white priests.”
“White priest?”
“I also don’t remember exactly because I just woke up. “I just remember the priests wearing gold crowns and white clothes controlling me and Sephilia.”
I couldn’t remember exactly, but I remembered clearly that the white priests were manipulating me.
“White priest….”
Baek Woo-jin narrowed his eyes. As soon as I heard the word ‘white priest’, I thought of the old man in the priest’s attire inside the priest’s sword.
“Do you by any chance know the name Murian?”
“Muriane? ah! That’s right! Vice Minister Murian! He gave orders to the white priests!”
Kazan nodded his head vigorously, as if he had finally remembered.
“Murian….”
Baek Woo-jin once again recalled the name Murian, the deputy director, that he had heard from Boran.
-I guess I’ll meet that guy.
‘okay. ‘I think I might go back and see it, not here either.’
Seeing his name come up this far, I felt like I would meet Murian someday.
Ding!
[There are 3 minutes left until return. Please go in front of the World Tree.]
A message asking you to go in front of the World Tree appeared once again.
“I really have to go now.”
Baek Woo-jin stood up with a regretful expression. There is not much time left.
“I was really, really grateful. And…”
Sylvia was unable to speak and wiggled her fingers.
“Oh no. “I’ll tell you later when I see you again.”
“All right. “I will see you again anyway.”
“Yes…”
Baek Woo-jin made eye contact with Sylvia with a regretful smile. She nodded with her head down.
“Prosecutor. thanked!”
“I will never forget this for the rest of my life!”
“Thank you for giving me hope!”
Regardless of race, the elves, dwarves, and humans all sent their thanks to Baek Woo-jin.
Baek Woo-jin returned their greetings with a smile and approached the World Tree. At the very front of the World Tree was Dapple.
“Deple.”
Dapple, who was more immersed in despair than anyone else he saw here, was looking at himself with eyes that contained more hope than anyone else.
“Don’t miss out on training and do it right. “If you don’t show any changes when you come back later, I’ll hit you on the back of the head instead of the emergency bell.”
“Of course!” I will do my best to practice! “Master!”
Deple called Baek Woo-jin “master” and closed his eyes. Otherwise, I felt like tears would come out.
However, I could not hear the words that I always heard, ‘You are not a teacher.’
“hmm?”
I slowly opened my eyes. I saw Baek Woo-jin smiling softly.
“See you again.”
He left those words and disappeared into light.
Tears that everyone had been holding in flowed from their eyes.
