Episode 287 There is no future.
A huge room where the ceiling and floor shimmer in a soft purple color.
An innumerable number of giant hornets flew in and lined up like soldiers and landed on the ground.
Kiyi.
The wasps retracted their extended stingers and slowly crawled towards the center of the room.
There was a pure white egg about 2 meters in size stuck in the center of the room, and small holes were open on the floor around it.
Sigh!
The wasps at the front approached the hole and spit out the transparent beads they were holding in their mouths.
The beads that went into the hole melted into the floor with a clattering sound.
Duung!
Every time the giant hornets inserted a transparent bead into the hole, the egg lodged in the center beat like a heart.
“Oh who is this?”
A woman’s thin voice came from behind the giant egg.
She was a short woman with blazing red hair and long, slit-like eyes like a reptile.
“They say the enemy meets at the single-tree bridge…”
Her eyes lit up when she saw Baek Woo-jin through the wasp’s vision.
“He is not my enemy.”
I turned around and placed my hand on the giant egg.
Ugh!
When the woman raised her hand, the egg emitted pure white light and became translucent.
Inside the egg was a black-haired man who appeared to be in his 20s, hugging his knees and closing his eyes.
Ugh.
Small bubbles came out from the man’s mouth and nose, and a purple aura flowed from his entire body.
“Life is so funny that Baek Woo-jin comes to visit you right before you wake up.”
As she stroked the egg, the light flowing from the egg became stronger and illuminated the dimly lit walls of the room.
“Ugh…”
“Ugh…”
About a hundred people were moaning while pinned against the purple wall.
“master.”
The woman laughed as she looked at the man sleeping in the egg, not even paying attention to the people stuck in the wall.
“Your enemy has come by himself.”
At that moment, the man sleeping inside the egg opened his red eyes.
**
“Vigor…”
Baek Woo-jin bit his lip while looking at the beads.
The energy contained in the bead was the source of human life, Jinwonjingi, which was different from natural mana.
-Why is the original source of energy contained here?
‘It’s obvious.’
Longevity Wasps are not ordinary monsters, but ones created using the necromancer’s fraud.
It was clear that he was using that trick to extract energy from people and then deliver it to the necromancer.
The necromancer may be using his energy to commit unethical acts.
‘Those damn bastards…’
he expressed his sentiment. I could feel the flapping wings of hornets moving around me.
Just counting the number of wasps, there would have been a huge number of victims.
-Anyway, necromancers are the same wherever you go.
Necromancers consider humans to be material rather than life, so they are no different from pests that must be killed when they meet them.
“Lord Soga.”
Moon Joo-young and the medical examiner’s team approached Baek Woo-jin over the corpses of the hornets.
“Is there a problem?”
Hong Nam-gi stiffened his face when he saw Baek Woo-jin’s dark expression.
“This is energy.”
“yes? “Energized?”
“These giant hornets were created by a necromancer. “Human…”
Baek Woo-jin told everyone about the situation here.
“Are you serious?”
Jeok Yeon-hwa swallowed dry saliva and asked back.
“okay. There must be a cave created by a necromancer in the mountain. “Maybe in there…”
As Baek Woo-jin spoke, a loud noise shook the entire mountain, and about 80 wasps flew into the sky.
Unlike the ones I just caught, the giant wasps were close to 2m in size like the ones I encountered for the first time.
“So many people suddenly appeared like that?”
“Now, these are the characteristics of long-lived wasps.”
Jeok Yeon-hwa nodded, her voice shaking slightly.
“characteristic?”
“Longevity hornets spray pheromones when asking for help from their colleagues. “They must have smelled that pheromone and showed up.”
“I know very well that you are afraid of bugs.”
“I did some research because I was scared! But what should I do if you say something like that when everyone hears it!”
Jeok Yeon-hwa screamed. I wanted to hit Baek Woo-jin in the back for saying something like that while so many people were watching.
“Oh sorry.”
Baek Woo-jin laughed and pointed at the wasps in the dark.
“Take care of those first.”
“All right!”
As soon as Moon Ju-young and the Medical Swordsman received the order, they jumped out in front of Baek Woo-jin.
Buaaaaang!
The longevity wasps attacked like a beam of light with their red flames burning, but the Uigeomdae had already completed a new marriage of swordsmen.
Damn it!
The Uigeomdae perfectly blocked the wasps’ offensive without the slightest wavering in the form of Yeonhon’s defense.
Cheeeeee!
The medical sword belt spread out like a fan, giving off strong momentum.
The prosecutors standing at the front blocked the wasps’ attacks, and the prosecutors standing at the center moved fluidly and attacked the wasps that found an opening.
Kiyi!
Wow!
The wasps died one by one, unable to overcome the medical school’s systematic examination.
-Those guys have grown up a lot, too. Now, no matter where I put it, it will still be useful.
‘It’s enough to fight even monsters with fighting spirit.’
In the past, the Medical Swordsman would have retreated in fear the moment it saw the fighting spirit of the wasps.
But now, I was fighting them head on with my fighting spirit burning.
-It’s rewarding to take you with me every time.
‘okay. Especially that guy.’
Baek Woo-jin smiled with satisfaction as he watched Hong A-ra moving in the center.
Everyone in the medical school has grown, but Hong Ara stands out among them all.
The characteristics of the clairvoyant body blossomed, and the movements became as fluid as water and the sword strikes were as fierce as flames.
Other swordsmen had to stab three times to break the wasp’s outer armor, but Hong-Ara penetrated the gap between them and cut off the wasp’s life with a single blow.
“Ha!”
Baek Woo-jin turned his head to the right at the loud sound of cheers.
Jeok Yeon-hwa stretched out her fist towards the giant hornet while her eyes were constantly trembling.
Whoops!
She shattered the wasp’s armor with a mace-like blow and then frantically shook off her hands.
Although he started the battle with Ogi, it seemed like he had not yet overcome his fear of insects.
‘Still, I think they’ll admit it to that extent.’
Fear is not easy to escape from. If you take it step by step, you will be able to adapt.
Buuuuuung!
Long-lived wasps appeared endlessly, as if they had been cloned.
Even though the talented people took care of about 40 hornets, the sky was full of giant hornets.
“I need to do this quickly.”
Baek Woo-jin wrapped an enormous amount of thunder energy around the blade of darkness and shot out nearly forty lightning bolts.
Absolutely!
The air was filled with black thunderbolts, and all the 40 or so wasps that were charging were broken into pieces.
“Huh!”
“Wow….”
“You can catch me that easily?”
Those with abilities could not close their mouths as they watched the corpses of the hornets falling to the ground.
“Are these really the same guys?”
They couldn’t believe that the wasp they managed to catch through their collaboration and the wasp Baek Woo-jin caught were the same.
“Ugh…”
Jeok Yeon-hwa looked at Baek Woo-jin with an expression that she didn’t like about something, and the medical examiner and Moon Ju-young nodded as if it was natural.
‘I guess these guys aren’t the problem.’
Baek Woo-jin did not look at the giant hornets in front of him and spread his energy across the entire mountain.
‘Wasps are flocking from all directions and heading towards the mountainside. ‘I’m not even interested in this.’
If the information about pheromones is true, most of the hornets should flock here, but most of them only headed to the center of the forest.
“Red softening.”
“Why are you calling me….”
“Tell me more about the characteristics of long-lived wasps.”
“Now, the longevity of the longevity wasp is not longevity, but longevity (將帥). It’s not about living a long life, it’s about being a general on the battlefield. So all bees have strong abilities.”
Jeok Yeon-hwa searched through her memories and told me information about longevity wasps.
“Not being strong.”
“They usually build a house in a crevice in a rock or in the ground, and it is very important to feed the larvae. The instinct to care for food more than one’s own life….”
“Larva and food….”
Baek Woo-jin played with the bead of energy in his hand.
It occurred to me that the wasps might think of this energy as food for their larvae.
‘It looks like the necromancer is trying to awaken something with this energy?’
-My thoughts are the same. Leave the giant hornets to them and move on.
‘I should do that.’
Baek Woo-jin nodded and looked at Moon Ju-young and Hong Nam-gi.
“Moon Ju-young follows me and the rest block here. “You can fight among yourselves, right?”
“of course!
“of course! “Trust me and go!”
The medical school prosecutors raised their swords as if to tell them not to worry.
“Red softening.”
“Why are you calling me again?”
“Look at those guys if they’re dangerous. request.”
“uh? Ah yes….”
Jeok Yeon-hwa turned her head with a blank expression. It was Baek Woo-jin’s first time asking for something like this, so he nodded without realizing it.
“let’s go!”
“yes!”
Baek Woo-jin laughed and ran like a bullet towards the mountain. Moon Ju-young followed Baek Woo-jin without even looking back.
“Hmm…”
Jeok Yeon-hwa clenched her fists. When I received a request from Baek Woo-jin, my courage suddenly surged.
‘Please…’
I saw the bodies of dead wasps. It was still gross, but the scary part seemed to have subsided.
“Whoa, let’s give it a try.”
**
Baek Woo-jin and Moon Ju-young arrived at the halfway point of the mountain, catching the wasps pouring down like rain.
Since I had tracked the movements of the small giant wasps, I already knew where they were going.
“Is that the base?”
The small giant wasps entered a hole in a hill made of rocks.
-Looks like that’s their nest.
‘I told you earlier that the red lotus flower builds its nest in the crevices of rocks.’
Baek Woo-jin thought that red lotus was surprisingly helpful and headed to the rock.
Buuuuuung!
The moment I stood in front of the hill, dozens of giant hornets jumped out from the hole in the hill and between the bushes.
Kiyi!
“I knew.”
Baek Woo-jin jumped towards the wasps shooting poison without the slightest panic.
He raised Rasadum’s aura and rotated his body with darkness.
Quaaaaa!
The strong energy that bloomed from the blade of darkness swirled rapidly, creating a black storm.
A storm of pitch-black blades spread all around, tearing apart all the wasps that had come out to defend the hive.
widely.
Baek Woo-jin disposed of all the hornets and went down to the entrance of the beehive.
-There is a guy with huge energy below.
‘That’s two too.’
There were two beings with terrifying energy under the beehive.
One looked like a necromancer, and the other had his powers calming down as if he was sleeping, so I couldn’t tell who he was.
“let’s go.”
“yes!”
After Baek Woo-jin finished organizing everything, he called Moon Ju-young. Moon Joo-young took care of the two wasps behind him and stuck to Baek Woo-jin’s side.
-It looks dangerous.
‘Moon Joo-young is okay. And there are people down there too.’
-what?
‘I can feel a faint vitality behind the huge fraud. They must be people captured by a necromancer.’
I could feel the energy of a dying human being right next to the evil energy. He must have been captured by a necromancer.
-Huh….
Darkness looked up at Baek Woo-jin and stuck out his tongue.
Even in the state of the sword, I could only express admiration for recognizing a faint energy that I could not feel.
-Tsk, I can’t really say that I’m a kid anymore.
**
Baek Woo-jin and Moon Ju-young headed to the basement of a burrow dug by a wasp.
Because they were so big, there was no problem moving around.
‘We’re almost there.’
Because the wasps no longer appeared and I followed the walking method, I was able to reach the bottom floor in less than 30 minutes.
“From now on, don’t let down your guard at all. “Because I don’t know what will happen.”
“All right.”
Moon Ju-young also felt a huge fraud, so he swallowed dryly and concentrated his mind.
-That’s the room.
The darkness pointed to a huge 3m hole with purple light flowing through it.
Wooooow!
When Baek Woo-jin nodded and was about to approach the hole, the sound of wings striking his ears echoed throughout the cave.
Countless shadows rose from inside the cave, and countless small-sized wasps poured out.
“They were all here.”
“Lord Soga!”
“It’s okay, just stop behind me.”
Baek Woo-jin cut down the wasps pouring down in the darkness with a thin, sharp sword.
Damn it!
The light strike of the sword was imbued with courtesy and the spirit of a pure sword and cut the wasps apart.
Due to Baek Woo-jin’s simple and sharp swordsmanship, more than 200 wasps were unable to sting even a single poison and became corpses.
“I didn’t know that that number would jump out at once.”
Moon Joo-young approached, wiping the sweat from his forehead.
“But doesn’t it seem like I just sent it too soon?”
“On purpose.”
Baek Woo-jin cooled his eyes.
“yes? “On purpose?”
“Because the necromancer achieved his goal, he threw away punishment that was no longer needed.”
Otherwise, there would be no reason to waste bees like this.
“Like I said earlier, you only care about the hostages.”
“All right. Do not worry.”
Moon Ju-young nodded and looked at Baek Woo-jin with eyes full of respect.
‘I can’t believe I felt the hostage’s energy from far away.’
It was difficult to sense the hostages’ energy even right in front of them, but Baek Woo-jin noticed their energy from a long way up. He is a person who, no matter how hard you criticize him, only people say he is amazing.
“This is…”
Baek Woo-jin stepped into a room filled with purple light.
“egg?”
There was a huge egg in the center, and over a hundred people were stuck on the wall like exhibits.
Ugh.
The lake beneath the wall where the people were stuck was connected to a bottom with eggs.
“What is this…”
“Welcome.”
As Baek Woo-jin was venting his anger, a woman’s voice was heard from behind Al.
“Baek, Woo, Jin.”
She is a woman with red hair and the eyes of a beast. A terrible fraud unfolded all over her body.
“Is it Rosamere?”
The only thing known about Rosamere’s appearance was her red hair, but the name came to mind just from the aura she gave off.
“I’m honored that the Emperor of the World knows me.”
Rosamere nodded, acknowledging her identity.
“What is this doing?”
“ah! “If we move now, the humans stuck in the wall will die.”
When Baek Woo-jin was about to move, Rosamere pointed to the people.
“This is just the beginning, so just wait a moment.”
As soon as Rosamere finished speaking, the huge egg behind her began to crack.
Jump! Damn it!
The egg burst like a balloon and a young man climbed out of it.
Eyes like obsidian and skin like white jade. Even the harmony of his facial features was perfect, making him a handsome man who could easily be called the epitome of beauty.
And he was someone who shouldn’t be here.
“Kim Nam-gil….”
Baek Woo-jin widened his eyes. Kim Nam-gil, who died in Hawaii, was looking down at himself, radiating purple fraud.
“It’s a funny fate to meet you as soon as I wake up.”
Even his voice was similar to Kim Nam-gil. The person who woke up from the egg was Kim Nam-gil.
“I’ve been through a hell of a time after being dealt with by you.”
Kim Nam-gil clenched and unfolded his fingers and smiled coldly. The morale and aura spreading from his entire body spread throughout the space.
“But not now.”
As if to test his strength, he created a storm-shaped whirlwind above his fingers.
“I have to break your neck in front of everyone to make me feel better. You can’t kill them in a hole like this. “In the future, I will kill not only you but everyone related to you.”
“What bullshit….”
“Are you trying to attack me now? “I guess it’s your loss?”
Kim Nam-gil aimed his sword at the person pinned against the wall.
“Shouldn’t we save them?”
“I know. Our job is to kill, but your job is to save.”
Rosamere stepped forward, giggling.
“I can still save him by just taking out his vitality and aura. If I’m exposed to more fraud, I might die. “You better get it quickly, right?”
“If you understand, please step aside.”
“….”
Kim Nam-gil’s red eyes burned. Baek Woo-jin slowly lowered his sword.
“Hehe!”
Rosamere grinned and took a step closer to Baek Woo-jin.
“They say I have to live for a long time to see the cooperative give in to threats. Anyway, those humans…huh?”
Rosamere was unable to speak and trembled. Her neck spun around and fell to the ground.
“leave? “Who wants it?”
Baek Woo-jin raised the darkness that cut off Rosamere’s head and rushed towards Kim Nam-gil.
“You crazy guy!”
Kim Nam-gil raised the bullet he made at the tip of his finger and fired it at Baek Woo-jin.
Chiiing!
But Baek Woo-jin was already within a stone’s throw of him.
Kwaaaaang!
Kang-hwan and darkness collided, causing an explosion that seemed to collapse the entire cave.
“Ugh!”
Kim Nam-gil was pushed all the way back. Grinding his teeth, he glared at Baek Woo-jin as if he were going to kill him.
“Are you going to kill all of those humans?”
“Do you think I’ll move without even thinking about that?”
Baek Woo-jin snapped his fingers and walked towards Kim Nam-gil.
“Fuck you later. You die here.”
