Episode 284 A red energy, like lava erupting, glowed on the shoulder of Baek Cheon-hwa,
the new sword .
Wow!
The throne he sat on every day was crumpled like a tin can on the side of the road.
I didn’t do it myself. It was crushed, unable to withstand the enormous amount of intangible energy unleashed by Baek Cheon-hwa.
“Ouch…”
Kim Jaehwan swallowed dryly at the terrifying energy and pressed himself against the wall.
‘My heart just
feels like it’s going to explode. ’
It was the first time since Baek Cheon-hwa entered the Baek family that he exploded with such anger. I couldn’t figure out how to react or move.
Gooooo!
The moment when Baek Cheon-hwa’s murderous gaze, which was looking up at the ceiling, turned towards the Kaiser’s corpse.
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
The Kaiser exploded without leaving a single piece of flesh behind.
The blood that flowed from the corpse evaporated while sticking to the floor.
Coo coo coo coo!
The energy waves emitted by Baekcheonhwa grew bigger as time went by. There was a tremor as if not only the Gajujeon War, but the land itself was being distorted.
“Kim Jaehwan.”
“Oh yeah!”
Kim Jae-hwan was frightened by Baek Cheon-hwa’s heavy call and fell to his knees. I just answered, but all the strength in my body was gone.
“Explain.”
Baek Cheon-hwa’s words were simple. So it was difficult to come up with an answer.
“Me too…”
Kim Jae-hwan trembled and lowered his head. I felt nauseous, as if I was going to get nauseous.
To be honest, I don’t know how Baek Woo-jin created this situation. He was just one of the people who was victimized by Baek Woo-jin.
‘Keuuuuuuuuuuuu…’
Baek Cheon-hwa’s cold gaze did not stop. The pressure coming from him shrunk my lungs and made me suffocate.
“Matriarch.”
At that time, Kang Won-jin, who had been quiet, came forward.
“There was Cheongsal where you captured the Kaiser alive.”
“Cheongsal?”
“I am a disciple of Demon Slayer, who was called the best assassin. It seems that the youngest master received some help from her.”
“Explain in detail.”
Baek Cheon-hwa extinguished his energy like blowing out a candle.
“Huh! “Huh!”
Kim Jae-hwan, whose life was saved thanks to him, crawled backwards in a cold sweat.
Kang Won-jin looked at him with an expressionless expression and then approached Baek Cheon-hwa.
“Ever since Guisal lost his life to Kaiser, Cheongsal has been tracking Kaiser. “I think she found out about this plan while chasing the Kaiser and told it to you.”
“So you’re saying he thought it was a trap and pretended not to notice? “Even though you knew Jeon Soo-hwan would come?”
“Young Master was not embarrassed when he saw Jeon Su-hwan and started fighting right away. “Seeing as they summoned other acquaintances afterward, it is clear that they knew it was a trap created by us.”
“That crazy guy…”
Baek Chun-hwa gritted his teeth. As if in sympathy with his anger, the podium collapsed.
“Baek, Woo, Jin.”
He spat out his hated son’s name one by one.
When I realized that Baek Woo-jin knew everything and still acted slyly, my anger rose even more.
I wanted to run out right away and kill Baek Woo-jin and everyone related to him.
“Matriarch. You must not underestimate your strength now. He has certainly ascended to the realm of the Absolute.”
“…Know.”
Even though Baek Cheon-hwa was hell-bent on killing himself, he acknowledged Baek Woo-jin’s powerlessness.
What the Black Sword Master said is correct.
Regardless of the fact that he defeated Jeon Soo-hwan, the momentum he showed here shows that he is not inferior to him.
“Damn it….”
“But I have some good news.”
When Baek Cheon-hwa cursed, Kang Won-jin’s only eye lit up.
“They say ‘it’ is ready.”
“Hmm…”
“Other things are being prepared step by step, so you don’t have to worry too much.”
At Kang Won-jin’s words, the storm-like energy that was blooming in Baek Cheon-hwa’s body slowly subsided.
“Do you want to go right away?”
“Of course.”
Baek Tian-hwa nodded and came down from the collapsed platform. Kang Won-jin approached him and draped a white blanket over him.
“Gajujeon will be canceled by the end of December this year.”
Baek Cheon-hwa left those words and left the Gaju battle with Kang Won-jin. His sharp blue eyes shined as he looked at Chilgeomgak, where Baek Woo-jin was.
“Wait. “This time, things won’t go as you think.”
**
When Baek Woo-jin opened the door of Geomgak and entered, Moon Joo-young and the medical team who were waiting for him came running out in socks.
“Lord Soga!”
“Thank you for your effort!”
Moon Ju-young and the medical school bowed their heads in a more polite manner than ever before.
-Look at the sparkling eyes. This is why they say warriors are strong and should be watched.
Heukam chuckled as he watched the reactions of Moon Joo-young and the medical school.
They are not reacting like that because Baek Woo-jin went through a hard time. Such an example is taken because he was a great warrior who defeated Daeyeonmunju and killed the Kaiser.
“I really won the Daeyeonmunju, right? “I still can’t believe it…”
Kim Woo-hyuk approached with an excited expression.
“You crazy guy! “Is that what you’re talking about?”
Park Hye-ri slapped Kim Woo-hyuk on the back of the head with a bewildered look.
“Of course it’s hard to believe. “I still don’t believe it.”
Baek Woo-jin smiled and nodded.
“I was lucky, but it’s true that I defeated him one-on-one.”
“Wow!”
The medical school cheered as soon as they heard Baek Woo-jin’s words.
‘I can’t believe I’m serving someone like this…’
Hong Nam-gi trembled, feeling a huge shiver run down his back.
He defeated Daeyeonmunju in a one-on-one battle and even captured Kaiser.
It got to the point where I thought that no one in the world could match his achievements.
Baek Woo-jin broke the absolute balance that had not been broken for decades. He was now a supreme martial artist who could be ranked as the world’s strongest in name and reality.
“What happened there?”
“There were a few injuries, but we took care of all the Kaiser’s assassins and the Grand Gate’s warriors. “You have been captured alive and the first master is interrogating you.”
“Good work.”
“no! “You worked hard, Master Do!”
Moon Joo-young quickly shook his head.
‘There is no comparison.’
When they captured Daeyeonmun’s warriors, Baek Woo-jin defeated both Kaiser and Daeyeonmunju. It was an incomparable achievement, like a firefly in front of the sun.
“okay. “You did the hard work.”
Baek Cheon-woong came over and tapped Baek Woo-jin on the shoulder. It didn’t have the same strong power as before, but it was a sound filled with kindness.
“thank you. Lord Buga.”
“Because it’s not a wealth anymore.”
Baek Cheonwoong chuckled and shook his head. Although he occasionally stopped by to look after the medical school’s training, he was no different from a gardener anymore.
“is that so.”
Baek Woo-jin smiled slightly because he knew Baek Cheon-woong’s feelings.
“I guess you can’t even see me?”
Baek Eun-kyung, who was sitting next to him, grunted with her arms crossed.
“Ah, thank you. “It didn’t help much, though.”
“Ugh!”
Baek Eun-kyung frowned at Baek Woo-jin’s joke.
“I want to complain, but I have nothing to say.”
I wanted to question it right away, but Baek Woo-jin was not wrong.
By leaving the Kaiser and defeating a Daeyeonmunju, Baek Woo-jin accomplished what hundreds, if not thousands, of people should have accomplished.
“What was your father’s reaction?”
Everyone who was buzzing at Baek Eun-kyung’s words closed their mouths and focused their attention on Baek Woo-jin.
“The exam is over and the duel to be held next year has been confirmed.”
“Congratulations!”
“There’s really less than six months left?”
“Since I defeated the Great Yeonmun Lord, I will be able to defeat the head of the family too!”
“be careful.”
When the medical team was happy, Baek Cheon-woong let out a voice as heavy as a rock.
“The patriarch is not just a strong man, he is a man who can dip his hands into any gutter. “They will be planning new preparations to defeat you, so you must not let down your guard.”
“I know.”
Baek Woo-jin nodded.
-You are the one who knows that best.
‘yes.’
He knew as well as Baek Cheon-woong what kind of person his father was and what he was capable of.
My father is not the kind of person who will sit still like this. You will appear stronger by using items, elixirs, dungeons, or anything else.
“Everyone worked hard. Today…”
“Prosecutor!”
When Baek Woo-jin was about to tell everyone to take a break, the door to the geomgak was opened and Mu-yeong-guest came in.
“I looked on the street today and Gajujeon was closed.”
“what?”
“I took a slight turn on the way, but the main gate was closed and prosecutors from the Black Swordsman were guarding the front door. Like it was closed before.”
“Hmm…”
When Baek Woo-jin turned around, Baek Cheon-woong nodded.
“It moved right away. It may not have been a preparation for you, but a preparation to defeat the enemy…”
-You’re quick to act.
‘So he must have become the head of this family.’
Baek Woo-jin clicked his tongue. After all, my father is a person who cannot let down his guard.
“What are you going to do?”
“I have to prepare too.”
Baek Woo-jin tapped the scabbard containing the Dark Sword.
“First, start with the sword.”
**
Baek Woo-jin rested for a day and then visited Arcane.
“Prosecutor! “No, Lord Soga!”
Because we had told her in advance, Seo In-ah was waiting in front of the front door.
“Phew….”
She looked at Baek Woo-jin’s face and body and breathed a sigh of relief.
“I heard you had a fight with Lord Daeyeonmun, so I thought you were hurt a lot, but I’m glad you weren’t hurt.”
“I told you on the phone that it was okay….”
“So Family Lord is a person who doesn’t show his feelings very much.”
Seo In-ah smiled brightly and led Baek Woo-jin inside.
“I was really surprised when an article suddenly appeared saying that I had defeated Daeyeonmunju. Now you can truly be called the Absolute.”
“I was lucky in many ways.”
“Luck? Too much humility! “How do you beat Daeyeonmunju with luck?”
“It’s true.”
Baek Woo-jin shook his head. It’s not a lie. If you weren’t lucky, you wouldn’t be here.
-Hmph, I finally admit it.
The darkness nodded with its sword blade while grumbling.
“It’s also thanks to Ina and my father-in-law.”
Kim Jang-hoon and Seo In-ah saved my life thanks to the Black Jeonhopo and Amingeom that they made, so I felt grateful to them as well.
“You really haven’t changed.”
Seo In-ah shrugged her shoulders as if she were embarrassed and opened the door to the underground passage.
“Are you here for the cancer screening?”
“I have a sword, and I also have a favor to ask Ina.”
“yes? Me?”
“yes. “I’m just worried that my father-in-law and Ina will scold me.”
“no way! I defeated someone with that sword! Do not worry! “If grandpa says something, I’ll argue with him…”
“What are you doing?”
As soon as I entered the artisan village entrance, Kim Jang-hoon suddenly appeared like a ghost.
“Ha grandpa! Why are you here?…”
“How can I just wait quietly when the swordsman who defeated the Absolute with my sword is coming?”
Kim Jang-hoon fixed his gaze on Baek Woo-jin behind Seo In-ah.
“Khahahaha!”
He looked Baek Woo-jin up and down and burst into laughter.
“I can feel the sword power reaching to the sky. “You must have gone through a lot of trouble.”
When I first made the Armin Sword, it wasn’t much better than a sword, but now it seemed like I wouldn’t be able to use it no matter what sword I brought.
“Let’s go to the workshop first. Ina, please bring something to drink.”
“Ugh, I understand!”
Seo In-ah muttered, ‘I have to leave the room all the time,’ and ran to her workshop.
“What are you doing. “Follow me.”
“yes.”
Baek Woo-jin followed Kim Jang-hoon’s slow steps toward his workshop.
“You must have had a hard time.”
“no. Enjoyed.”
“It was fun? Anyway, I don’t understand prosecutors.”
Kim Jang-hoon smiled brightly, contrary to his blunt tone.
“Take out the cancer sword and take a look.”
“yes.”
As soon as we arrived at the workshop, Kim Jang-hoon held out his hand. Baek Woo-jin handed over the sword with its sheath to Kim Jang-hoon.
Slurp.
Kim Jang-hoon, seeing the cancer sword cut in half, nodded.
“You mean you cut down the Great Yanmenju with this guy?”
“It also saved my life. But…”
“Don’t say nonsense about how lucky you were. A winner is just a winner.”
After saying those words, Kim Jang-hoon focused his attention and looked at the sword.
“As you know, artisan, I have good ingredients. “You can use any material, so please repair the sword.”
There were dragon horns, teeth, claws, scales, and even bones in Darkness’ inventory, so there were enough materials for repairs.
“Hmm….”
Kim Jang-hoon looked at the cancer sword for a long time and then shook his head.
“I’m sorry, but I can’t fix it.”
“yes?”
Baek Woo-jin widened his eyes.
“This guy has reached the end of his life.”
“What is that…”
“Do you remember putting your Auror into this sword?”
“I remember.”
“This guy used that energy. “If we were to consider it as a human being, it would be like using the Jinwonjingi.”
Kim Jang-hoon clicked his tongue as if he felt sorry.
“Because all of its vitality has been lost, even if it is repaired, it will not be able to become the original cancer sword. “You will know the difference best.”
-When Daeyeonmunju stabbed Taehyeongwangchang, the Amingeom broke the blade to protect you. If it weren’t for that, you would have died then.
“….”
Baek Woo-jin looked at the dark sword with trembling eyes. I never imagined that such a situation would exist when the sword broke.
“Still, this guy seems to have enjoyed spending time with you. “I have no regrets about the sword spirit.”
-It can’t happen. After saving his master’s life, he left…
Darkness muttered quietly as if he understood everything.
“I think it would be best to just let him go.”
Kim Jang-hoon smiled awkwardly and returned the sword.
“He was born with a sword and cut down the absolute lord Daeyeonmunju, so this guy must have left happily.”
“Is that really true?”
“I made it, right? It is certainly.”
“…thank you.”
Baek Woo-jin cherished the returned cancer sword.
“I guess I’ll have to make a new sword. In fact, even if the cancer sword was intact, I would have suggested making a new one.”
“yes? Why is that…”
“Compared to when you created the Dark Sword, you have become so much stronger. “It means that he has a sword power that is difficult to control with a sword.”
Kim Jang-hoon sat down on a wooden chair next to the workshop and continued speaking.
“It is said that a great swordsman does not choose any sword, but there is a sword that is optimal for demonstrating his abilities. “The Dark Sword is not enough to demonstrate your current abilities to their full potential.”
“Ah…”
“There is a duel next year, so you’d better make up your mind quickly.”
Baek Woo-jin held the Armin Sword tightly and felt its weight.
‘Thank you. Rest now.’
Remembering the gratitude of Amingeom, I decided to move forward.
Ugh!
I took out the dragon’s horn, teeth, claws, bones, and even the black neck from the darkness’s inventory.
“Please give me a new sword.”
“I saw the teeth and claws that Seo Gongmyeong brought, but yours are much better.”
Kim Jang-hoon, who was sitting, got up and approached me. His eyes sparkled as if he was seeing stars.
“I have to take care of the good things.”
“Hahaha! that’s right. “Of course it is!”
Kim Jang-hoon chuckled and nodded.
“But thanks to that guy, I’ve finally figured out the ingredients to some extent.”
“Do you understand?”
“okay. The dragon’s horn has the effect of amplifying mana, its teeth are hard, and its claws are sharp. Bones have all of these abilities, but they are all mediocre. In other words, each has its own pros and cons.”
“So you’re telling me to choose between those four ingredients?”
“no.”
Kim Jang-hoon grinned and shook his head.
“Why do you make a choice? “You have all the ingredients, so let’s put them all together.”
“Combining four ingredients?”
“okay. “I want to create a masterpiece of my life.”
“Is that okay? The ingredients are different…”
“Who am I? This is Kim Jang-hoon. “If you hold a hammer, there’s nothing you can’t do.”
Kim Jang-hoon showed off his intense eyes. It was the look in the eyes of an absolute self-sufficient warrior facing an enemy.
“What can I do?”
“First, I need to cut it to a size large enough to make a sword. “Can you do it?”
“of course.”
Baek Woo-jin wrapped his sword around the sword and cut off as many horns, claws, teeth, and bones as Kim Jang-hoon wanted.
“Infuse your Aura into these ingredients. “Use the maximum strength you can.”
“All right.”
Baek Woo-jin nodded and activated the ink lightning.
Crumbling!
The earth was dyed with black thunder along with a thunderous sound that seemed as if the God of Thunder had descended.
“Huh…”
Kim Jang-hoon looked at Baek Woo-jin with a mesmerized face.
‘You’ve become a real monster.’
Although the sky and the earth were all blackened by lightning, it did not affect me in the slightest. It meant that everything was under Baek Woo-jin’s control.
At this rate, I felt like I could ask him a new favor.
“Woojin. “Can you put your energy into it with your teeth, horns, claws, and bones all together?”
“I will try.”
Baek Woo-jin gathered the four fallen ingredients into one and pushed the energy amplified by the ink lightning into them.
Coo coo coo coo!
When Rasadum’s aura entered the center of the materials, it captured the darkness.
-Huh?
‘Lend me your strength too.’
-Hey Yanma! I haven’t said anything yet…
‘From now on, this energy is mine.’
– Holy crazy!
Baek Woo-jin forcibly brought out the energy of darkness and put it into the ingredients.
Ugh!
When the energy of Baek Woo-jin and darkness came together and filled the ingredients, a new light flashed.
-You thug!
