Episode 259 Demons of domination
– Is that bitch crazy about the demons?
“Baek Eun-kyung is missing?”
Baek Woo-jin frowned. Baek Eun-kyung disappeared after entering the demon’s stronghold. It was to the point where I doubted whether I heard Moon Ju-young correctly.
“I say so. This is what I also heard from the Sword Master of Destruction….”
-Quickly ask what’s going on. You’re curious!
“Tell me more details.”
“I will connect you with the Great Sword of Destruction now.”
Moon Joo-young called Jo Se-hyeong, the sword master in charge of Baek Eun-kyung’s sword sword squad.
[…This is Jo Se-hyung.]
The voice of the Great Lord of Destruction Swords who answered the phone was as droopy as a tent hit by a rain shower.
“There is a master next to you, so please explain what happened there.”
Moon Joo-young switched to speakerphone so Baek Woo-jin could hear.
[This is Jo Se-hyung, the Great Sword of Destruction! See you, Master!]
Jo Se-hyeong’s voice, which had quieted down when he heard that Baek Woo-jin was next to him, regained its strength.
“Now that we’ve said hello, please explain the situation.”
[All right. Where we are now is Romania.]
“Romania? “Are you still there?”
[After three months of close combat with the high-ranking demon Katoil here, we were able to deal with him.]
“Dealed with him? “I won, but why did my sister go missing from the demons’ stronghold?”
I knew that Baek Eun-kyung was searching for demons in Romania during the successor selection period.
However, I couldn’t understand why I went missing even though I won.
[We eliminated the high-ranking demon and searched the castle where the demon was hiding once more.]
“Because that’s like my older sister’s habit.”
Baek Woo-jin nodded. After catching the demon, Baek Eun-kyung searched the place where the demon was. I did the same thing in Jeju Island when I defeated Mahwa.
It was for the people who lived there, and it was also to find clues about the demon Creon, whom she regarded as her enemy.
[you’re right. Despite a search, no special clues were found. When we finished the search and were preparing to return to the family, we received an emergency call from the shelter.]
“Emergency call?”
[The message was that about fifty people in a small shelter had been massacred. However, they said they did not see the children in the shelter.]
“Hmm…”
[We headed to the shelter, but the young lady seemed to sense something and ran to the castle where the demons were with Han Yu-ra’s escort.]
Jo Se-hyeong’s voice was heard. There was intense regret. It seemed like he was blaming himself for not following Baek Eun-kyung right away.
[We followed behind, but the castle was already surrounded by huge demonic energy, and the traces of the young lady and the children were heading toward the castle stained with demonic energy.] “Tsk…
”
Baek Woo-jin licked his lips bitterly. Even if Baek Eun-kyung and Han Yu-ra said so, it was unfortunate that the people in the shelter died and the children were trapped.
[I checked the CCTV installed near the castle, and the children headed towards the castle on their own as if they were possessed by something.]
“On their own?”
[yes. It’s hard for me to believe, but ten children stood in front of the castle on their own. Just as the magic energy flowing out of the castle was about to sweep away the children, the young lady and Han Yu-ra’s guard stopped them.]
“What next?”
Baek Woo-jin seemed impatient and asked the next question before Jo Se-hyeong finished speaking.
[The demonic force was so powerful and wide that the two people and the children were swept away. Plus, the young lady was injured…]
-There was one more demon.
‘I guess so.’
[It is clear that there was one more demon than the high-level demon we caught.]
Baek Woo-jin’s prediction and Jo Se-hyeong’s words matched.
“How much time has passed?”
[It’s been 26 hours. Because there was a long battle with Catoil, there were many casualties, and the divine powers were exhausted, so they were still unable to break the barrier made of demonic energy.] “Hmm….
”
The news from Baek Eun-gyeong came after almost two months. They must have used their strength in many ways during that time, so it is natural that the talented people lost their strength.
“What about support?”
[They keep coming, but there are currently many areas where demons have appeared, so the people are being dispersed. I think it will take some more time for those with divine abilities who can break the barrier to arrive.]
“It’s true. Currently, there are more than five places where demons are known to have appeared. Even in the United States and the United Kingdom….”
Moon Joo-young spoke about demons that appeared in other countries.
[young master! Please, please! Please save the lady!]
“Hmm….”
Baek Woo-jin scratched his chin. Baek Eun-kyung and herself had a plus-minus-zero relationship, so there was no need for her to help.
However, my heart was moved when I heard that there were children there and that they were trapped while trying to save them.
‘I should go…’
– It’s natural to save, and if you kill the demon, you and I can grow with that demon. let’s go.
Baek Woo-jin nodded. Seeing that he was said to have trapped Baek Eun-kyung, it was clear that he was at least a high-level demon. As the darkness said, it was also an opportunity to grow.
“Hmm…”
Baek Woo-jin was about to say let’s go, but instead he looked at Moon Ju-young. He pursed his lips as if he had something he wanted to say.
“Do you have something to say?”
“This may be presumptuous, but…”
“I don’t care about that, so if you have something to say, say it.”
“Thank you for saying that.”
Moon Ju-young bowed her head to Baek Woo-jin and continued speaking.
“If you can afford it, I think it would be a good idea to go rescue it.”
“why?”
“The second lady was trapped to save the children, but it bothers me that there is a child in that castle. If that doesn’t work, then I too…”
“There’s no need to do that.”
Baek Woo-jin grinned. Moon Joo-young hasn’t changed at all since I first met him. The title Hyeop seemed to suit Moon Ju-young more than himself.
“Get ready to leave right away.”
“Oh yeah!”
[Thank you! Thank you so much!]
The sound of clothes rubbing against each other was heard from the smartphone speaker. It was the sound of Jo Se-hyung bowing without even being able to see him.
“What will you do with the medical school?”
“I don’t know the situation yet, so I tell you to come prepared and let’s go first.”
“All right!”
“I’ll report back.”
“See?”
“okay.”
Baek Woo-jin wrinkled the bridge of his nose.
“Because he is a candidate for successor, he cannot make any moves.”
**
“See you, matriarch.”
Baek Woo-jin went to Gajujeon and knelt in front of Baek Cheon-hwa.
“There are still two months left until the New Year. What’s going on?”
“As you may know, the head of the family, my second sister is said to have been trapped in a demon barrier.”
Baek Woo-jin slightly raised his head and opened his mouth.
“Know.”
-He’s a really disgusting person. Still, she’s my daughter.
‘Now I don’t think that’s a big deal.’
Baek Woo-jin snorted. Fathers do not treat their children specially.
Just like other humans, they only distinguish between whether it is helpful to them or not.
“I am going to Romania to rescue my second sister and the children trapped there.”
“you? “Why?”
“It also bothers me that my second sister has debt and that there are children in it.”
Although I had no debt to Baek Eun-kyung, I added the word ‘debt’ to give some reason.
“I tell you this every time, but when you throw something away, you need to have the attitude to know how to throw it away.”
Baek Cheon-hwa shed a heavy tone as if she did not like Baek Woo-jin’s words.
“I’m not going to rescue you out of mere pity. “The level of the demons there is above advanced level, so I wanted to test my strength against them.”
“Hmm, it’s a test of strength…”
When Baek Woo-jin said that he wanted to test his strength, the uncomfortable energy blooming in Baek Cheon-hwa’s body faded a little.
“When are you going to go?”
“I’ve been trapped in the demonic energy for over a day, so I’m planning to leave right away.”
“It takes a lot of strength to break the barrier of a high-level demon. Even if we go now, we will have to wait for those with divine abilities.”
“it’s okay. “I have the ability to break barriers rather easily.”
Baek Woo-jin revealed some information about the barrier station leader.
-hey! Why say that!
‘Father already knows.’
Gong Wei also knew that he had a trait that applied to the barrier, and there was no way Baek Tianhwa did not know that fact.
-Then….
‘You build trust by intentionally releasing information. Until you make your wish on January 1st of next year.’
Baek Woo-jin looked up at Baek Cheon-hwa with unwavering eyes.
The reason for unlocking the barrier station leader’s information was to gain Baek Cheon-hwa’s trust and make a wish for the New Year.
-Wow, you too….
‘Same goes for my father.’
-what?
‘That person is after something too.’
Baek Cheon-hwa’s attitude toward himself also changed, albeit slightly. He was clearly trying to use himself for something.
-Are rich people fighting to take advantage of each other? This is a really scary family. If it were me, I would have run away from home right away.
‘That’s usually the case.’
Baek Woo-jin smiled inwardly and waited for Baek Cheon-hwa’s answer.
“If you have that ability, it wouldn’t be a bad idea for you to go. But…”
“Yes?”
“If a dangerous situation arises, don’t worry about the child or Baek Eun-kyung, just step away. You are the successor to the Shingeombaek family. Always keep that in mind.”
-Damn it! That’s very cool!
Darkness burst into laughter. He said that with such a bloody expression that even if you stab him with a knife, not a single drop of blood would come out, so all I could do was laugh.
‘It’s acting. ‘My father and I are acting to take advantage of each other.’
-The Shingeombaek family is a family to which it is impossible to adapt.
“…All right.”
Baek Woo-jin bowed his head deeply, saying thank you, but clenched his teeth to control his expression.
“Go and see. “I’ll say it again, don’t overdo it.”
“Thank you for your concern. “I will come back after rescuing my second sister.”
Baek Woo-jin took a silent bow and went out of Gajujeon.
thud!
As soon as the door to the family hall closed, Baek Cheon-hwa’s face became so cold that she froze just by looking at it.
“Because of his chivalrous spirit, he always ends up doing useless things.”
Baek Cheon-hwa twirled his finger and drew the word “hyeop (俠)” in the air. After a while, red energy surged and melted the letters.
“As expected, it would be best to use that guy’s chivalry.”
A fierce smile bloomed at the corner of Baek Chun-hwa’s mouth.
“The time when Baekga becomes the best… no, the day when I become the best is coming.”
**
Baek Woo-jin headed to Romania with Moon Ju-young as soon as he left the Gaju match.
Since the Romanian government was accepting high-level talents, I was able to easily travel to Brasov, a city said to be home to demons.
Brasov has a famous tourist site called Bran Castle, so the area around the city was full of souvenir shops and shops.
All the people living around Bran Castle had evacuated to the center of Brasov, so the city was overflowing with people.
However, they were all shaking with anxiety. After fighting for over two months and catching the demon, it was only natural that another demon just as good appeared.
-It feels strong here? I feel a little uneasy, or should I say uneasy?
Darkness grumbled as he looked around Brasov, which was filled with gloomy energy.
‘Apart from the demons, it’s a place with its own legend.’
-Legend?
‘Do you know Dracula?’
-You don’t know?
‘What about vampires?’
-Of course you know, they are vampires.
‘This is where Dracula, the famous vampire, lived. Well, he wasn’t an actual vampire, but…’
Baek Woo-jin gave Heuk-am a brief explanation about Dracula.
-Then won’t Dracula or something appear like Susanoo?
‘Dracula…’
-No. Even if you cut a god, is it still food for vampires?
‘well.’
Baek Woo-jin tapped the sheath of the Amin Sword without saying anything. In a world like this, it’s not strange no matter what happens. Vampires may be stronger than gods, so we must not let down our guard.
“you! “Is it Woojin by any chance?”
Baek Woo-jin turned around when he heard a thick male voice behind him.
“uh? mister?”
He opened his mouth slightly when he saw the middle-aged man who called him and the young woman next to him.
-That guy. Where do you think I saw this?
‘I saw it on Jeju Island.’
The middle-aged man was Chae Jung-hyeon, the royal palace he had met on Jeju Island, and the woman next to him was Chae Jung-hyeon’s daughter and a person with divine powers.
“How did we get here….”
“How did we get here! “I heard there’s a problem with Eun-kyung. I need to get rid of everything and come back!”
Chae Joong-hyeon closed his mouth tightly and his eyes lit up. Chae Jin also had the same expression.
“okay.”
Baek Woo-jin nodded. Even when I saw him in Jeju Island at the time, Chae Jung-hyeon and Baek Eun-kyung seemed to have some kind of connection.
“I am rather surprised that you came. When I saw you on Jeju Island, it didn’t seem like your relationship was good? “Isn’t that so?”
“yes? Ah yes….”
Chaejajin lowered her head with her face turning red.
“This guy has become more of a fan of yours than before. “When I’m not working, I stay at your fan cafe all day.”
“Ah, Dad!”
“Hmm, let’s talk about that later and move on like this.”
“All right.”
“You may have heard, but demons are not ordinary people. “You need to be well prepared.”
“yes. “I heard it’s the minimum wage.”
Baek Woo-jin and Chae Jung-hyeon headed towards Bran Castle while having a conversation about the demons in the castle.
“uh?”
Baek Woo-jin stopped walking just before approaching the border that blocked access to the general public.
-why?
“Why are you doing this?”
“young master?”
Because Baek Woo-jin suddenly stopped, the others also stopped.
“How is this…”
Baek Woo-jin’s lips trembled as he looked at the people bustling around the border.
-What is it again?
“Why are you doing this?”
“What’s going on?”
“Those people…”
Baek Woo-jin raised his finger and pointed to the people moving supplies around the border.
“Those people have demonic energy in their bodies.”
To bring this out, I checked the demonic energy in people’s bodies several times.
But I didn’t see anything wrong. People had demonic energy engraved on their kidneys.
Phew.
Just by feeling their demonic energy, a black brilliance naturally arose.
“What is that!”
“Really. “You and Sojin, can’t you feel the demon energy in those people’s bodies?”
“Ma Magi? To all of them?”
Chae Jung-hyeon was scared and looked at the villagers’ spirits.
“Uhm, I have no idea. Sojin. “You try it.”
“yes? Ah yes!”
“Everyone, please gather here for a moment!”
Moon Joo-young was quick to gather people.
“Okay then, let’s get started.”
Chaejaejin closed her eyes and drew in her divine energy. A pure white energy spread out in concentric circles around her body.
“Whoa…”
Because it was Baek Woo-jin’s words, I wanted to trust them unconditionally, but I didn’t feel any demonic energy.
‘I don’t feel it either… huh?’
When Chae Jin-jin stopped searching and was about to open his eyes, a very small trace of demonic energy arose in the old man’s body.
‘Ah…’
I gathered my divine energy and focused on the old man. Only then could I truly feel it. There was demonic energy hidden in the old man’s kidneys.
‘No way!’
After examining the old man, Chae-Jin Chae checked the bodies of other people again.
“Huh!”
Chaejaejin opened her eyes and fell back. Her eyes shook violently as if they had been hit by blue.
“The prosecutor is right! “There is magic!”
Chae-Jin Chae continued speaking while breaking into a cold sweat.
“Everyone here is addicted to magic. entire!”
Baek Woo-jin was right. Everyone here had demon energy sleeping in their bodies.
“That’s not normal demonic energy either…”
The demonic energy that entered people’s kidneys was secretive yet sticky. Although it was difficult to find, it had a terrible energy.
-How on earth did you know?
The voice of darkness wavered. I did not understand how Baek Woo-jin found the secret magical energy that even those with divine abilities had to concentrate deeply to find.
“Oh my god…”
The other people also looked at Baek Woo-jin and the people with demonic energy alternately with mesmerized faces.
“Now how on earth did you notice this!”
“You don’t even have divine powers.”
Among the many talented people here, Baek Woo-jin was the only one who felt demonic energy, so not only the darkness but everyone else could not help but be shocked.
“I think it’s because I’ve been focusing on training with my senses lately.”
Baek Woo-jin opened his mouth lightly. Maybe it was because he had been practicing seeing the flow and texture through meditation, but the hidden magic energy was easily visible to his eyes.
“But that’s not what’s important right now.”
“Ah…”
“The important thing is when and how the demonic energy entered these people.”
Baek Woo-jin bit his lip and looked at the people in fear.
‘What on earth happened?’
