Episode 29. I’m here to sweep the dungeon.
-A lucky guy can really do anything.
Darkness was dazed and came to its senses in just a minute.
“It’s not luck, it’s because I boiled the water with the utmost care.”
-Ultimate sincerity is nonsense! You got caught!
“Darkness. “I don’t think you know much…”
He continued with a sly smile at Darkness.
“If the results are good, everything is good. No matter what you say, it will work. From now on, just trust me and follow me.”
-Ouch…
Darkness gritted his teeth. There was a lot I wanted to say, but I couldn’t. Because the results were so good that any response was useless.
“Anyway, receiving these additional abilities is no different from eating one more Juyanghwa.”
-It’s more than that. It’s ridiculous that you gain abilities by mixing Chinese herbal medicine in warm water.
The darkness still couldn’t escape from its embarrassment and waved its blade wildly.
“You only know the attribute resistance and auror resistance when they are correct, so you should leave them alone and test the increase in mana sensitivity.”
-Try the Auror exercises. You will be able to feel the difference.
“okay.”
I sat cross-legged and used Cain’s Auror exercises. As soon as I started practicing, I felt the external mana rushing in like a torrent.
Coo coo coo coo.
Even though he absorbed and used a much larger amount of mana, he had no difficulty controlling the aurors. The amount of aura accumulating in the Danjeon was also increasing.
“Whoa….”
Baek Woo-jin finished his Auror exercises and opened his eyes. There was a smile full of satisfaction on his face.
-How was it?
“It’s completely different. “The amount of mana absorbed has increased, and controlling aurors has become much easier.”
-It’s natural because the effect of the sensitivity pill you took before also applies.
Dark’s words reminded me of the sensitivity I received from my first sudden reward.
-It is not just about being able to handle a lot of mana. The activation speed of auras will also increase, and pure and high-quality auras will be created. Simply put, you have created a platform to fly higher.
“I get excited just hearing it.”
I felt my face getting hot with anticipation for the future. I clenched and unclenched my fists to calm my excitement.
“Element sensitivity has also increased, but how can I use it?”
-Your Aura can contain the 4 major attributes.
“That’s an ability that only special aurors have!”
-Those special aurors are created based on attribute sensitivity.
“So you mean I can use it too?”
-Of course. However, a different method of training will be needed. It’s also a very intense training.
Baek Woo-jin was not scared at all even after hearing the words of darkness. Training and working hard to become stronger was a pleasure itself for him.
-You will be able to summon spirits based on attribute sensitivity.
“government ordinance? “How do you do that?”
I was startled and jumped up. I thought I misheard that it was a spirit.
-I am a sword, so there is no way I would know such a thing. None of my masters had any experience with spirits.
“Then I guess I should look for a spiritist?”
-Do it like that. Because spirits are also your strength.
“I thought you were going to tell me to train with a sword or something.”
-I am a flexible sword. Spirit is a very helpful ability for ignorant swordsmen, so there is nothing wrong with having it.
Baek Woo-jin smiled at Darkness’ answer. It was funny to see him call himself a flexible sword.
“Let’s take the spirit step by step and what training should we do from today? “Bobeop and stabbing?”
-It would be good to experience real combat while mastering the stabbing and footwork techniques.
“Practical?”
-Practical training is truly the best training. Experience many monsters and various situations.
The darkness flew in front of Baek Woo-jin and spoke again.
-You jumped over the training stairs in one go due to your trance. You may not be able to properly control your power yet, so make your swordsmanship completely your own through personal training and actual combat.
“That is correct.”
As I nodded, a new window appeared in front of me.
[A new quest has arrived.]
< Practical combat is the best >
Various practical combat is a great help in growth. Experience real combat based on your strengthened abilities.
Condition: Clear 20 level 2 dungeons with bosses. (To be recognized, the contribution to clearing the dungeon must be the highest.)
Benefits of accepting the quest: You can obtain information inside the dungeon during the quest period.
Reward: 700 point title.
Current progress: 0/20
I laughed and looked at the darkness.
“This time, you and I got on the same page about the system.”
-What are you talking about? As I said last time, I was going to teach him basic swordsmanship…
“Yes. yes.”
-Listen to me!
I waved my hand at Darkness and looked at the quest window again.
“Because a level 2 dungeon with a boss is the same level as a level 3 dungeon. “Is it okay to beat a level 3 dungeon?”
-It doesn’t matter if you increase the difficulty level and clear it.
Then, when looking for a dungeon, I think you should look for not only level 2 but also level 3 dungeons.
“Having a high level of contribution means playing solo.”
-It seems like you have to wipe it all out by yourself before you will admit it.
“Do you like it.”
It is much easier to wipe them out alone than to move as a party or guild unit. As expected, I feel like I have a connection with the system. Baek Woo-jin immediately accepted the quest.
“I need to find a new identity first.”
-Identity?
“okay.”
Baek Woo-jin took out his cell phone and called Moon Ju-young.
“Did you call me?”
Moon Joo-young appeared in front of Baek Woo-jin’s room in less than three minutes.
“It’s been a while since I last saw you, so it’s time to say hello again. “Just come in.”
Baek Woo-jin waved his hand and let Moon Ju-young into the room. I showed him a seat and sat down across from him.
“Hmm…”
Baek Woo-jin looked into Moon Ju-young’s eyes. His eyes were noticeably different from before.
At first, he was escorting himself at Baek Cheon-hwa’s orders, but now he was guarding him with a heart full of gratitude. This means that Moon Ju-young has begun to consider herself a true master.
“I have some request.”
“Please speak.”
“If you keep it a secret from your father, I will tell you.”
Moon Ju-young flinched at Baek Woo-jin’s words. It’s an expression on his face that he never thought such a thing would come out of.
-Something is strange about this situation. The person who asks for a favor puts conditions on it.
‘It would have been ridiculous in the past. But Moon Joo-young watched me right next to me. I saw my worth and felt who I was. There’s a good chance he’ll follow me.’
-Do you use mind reading or something like that?
‘What is mind reading?’
I snorted at the words of darkness and waited for the answer from Moon Joo-young, who was suffering.
“I am the master’s bodyguard, but I am also a swordsman of the Shingeombaek family. “Anything that is harmful to the Baek family…”
Moon Ju-young opened his mouth after a while.
“It’s not like that.”
“Then I will keep it a secret. “I won’t tell anyone, including the matriarch.”
Baek Woo-jin smiled with satisfaction. The result was that he consistently demonstrated his abilities and was treated as a colleague rather than an escort. Moon Joo-young’s heart was no longer focused on his father, but on himself.
“Please tell me what your request is.”
“I need the status of a prosecutor of level 3 or higher. “He’s in his 20s.”
“Can you tell me why?”
“To get practical training in the dungeon.”
“In that case, wouldn’t it be better to use the family’s influence?”
“You heard it too. There is someone else behind Baek Seon-ah. “I don’t want to meet an assassin outside.”
“Ah…”
Moon Joo-young nodded as if she understood what he meant. Unless you know who is targeting Baek Woo-jin, it is a good idea to hide his identity from outside the family.
“All right.”
Moon Ju-young asked for about two weeks and then went out.
-It’s not just a reason to keep in check, right?
“It’s to avoid attack, but it’s also to live up to the name Baek Woo-jin.
-Name value?
“okay. Rumors about me are probably spreading around even outside the family. “He’s probably labeled with something like a genius or a monster.”
-I guess so. A prosecutor who didn’t even meet the terms of service dealt with level 4 criminals.
Baek Woo-jin already knew that rumors about him were spreading. It’s also a very mysterious and favorable rumor.
“Once Baek Woo-jin starts going around level 2 dungeons, the rumor becomes ambiguous. “It means that there are people who doubt whether Baek Woo-jin is really a genius.”
-To put it simply, you are trying to raise the value of your name.
“that’s right. I should increase the value of my name by appearing only on big events and not on training. So much so that it can match even if it collides with the Baek family.”
-Really, small hairs come back quickly.
Heukam was so impressed that he wanted to applaud Baek Woo-jin if he had hands. He clearly knew what to do and was in control of the situation. He had a personality I liked.
“Then let’s go.”
Baek Woo-jin stood up holding the Hwiyeon sword.
-Where are you going?
“Why are you asking what you know? “I need to practice stabbing and martial arts footwork.”
-Do you have any fatigue? Don’t you know the word rest?
**
Baek Woo-jin improved his proficiency in basic swordsmanship, the Unknown Step Technique, Muryeongcham, and Black King Bullet over the course of two weeks. When I returned from evening training, Moon Ju-young was waiting in front of my door.
“Forgive me for being late. “I was moving without anyone noticing me.”
“are you okay.”
I took Moon Joo-young and went into the room. He held out his ID card and a piece of paper.
“I am Kim Ji-hoon, a level 3 prosecutor. “I am 28 years old and have no family.”
I picked up my ID card and looked at the photo. He had an ordinary appearance, neither handsome nor ugly.
“You didn’t kill him yourself, right?”
“I bought my identity from a trustworthy source.”
“How much did you hear? “You have to give me money.”
“You don’t have to worry about it.”
“no. “This has to be done more clearly in a hierarchical relationship.”
Baek Woo-jin forced Moon Joo-young, who refused, to hand over a magic stone that was more expensive than the price of her status.
“young master.”
While reading information about Kim Ji-woon, Moon Ju-young looked worried.
“No matter how you look, your black aura is very distinctive. Do you have any measures?”
“Since you trusted me, I should show you too.”
Baek Woo-jin looked at the darkness. Darkness opened the inventory and took out the mask of the Manbyeongeum.
“omg!”
Moon Joo-young was startled when he saw the mask appear in the air and took a step back. Speaking of new abilities, this young master’s abilities are truly endless.
“Looking good.”
When I put on the Manbyeongeum mask, a hologram window appeared. His appearance is the same as Kim Ji-hoon that I saw a while ago, but his auror color has been changed to white. Baek Woo-jin transformed into the perfect Kim Ji-hoon in less than 3 seconds.
“What the hell is this….”
Moon Ju-young’s eyes got so big that they seemed to pop out as she saw Baek Woo-jin changing in an instant. I expected it to change, but I never thought it would change so quickly.
“This is what’s important.”
White aura leaked out from Baek Woo-jin’s hand. It is the most common auror color with no abilities.
“Huh!”
Moon Juyoung was mesmerized when she saw the color of the auror. There are so many items and techniques to change your appearance. However, I had never heard of changing the color of the auror.
“You are so amazing!”
Moon Ju-young looked at Baek Woo-jin with admiring eyes. His young owner is always surprising himself with new things. I really don’t know how far his limits are if he has such an item.
“Isn’t it perfect?”
“That’s right. “No one will notice.”
Baek Woo-jin chuckled and removed his mask.
“You are the first to show me this.”
“Why did you keep such a secret from me…”
“Because you showed me faith, I showed it to you too. “You are my escort.”
“Ah…”
Moon Ju-young looked at Baek Woo-jin without saying anything and then bowed her head deeply. There was emotion in his eyes that could not be hidden.
“thank you.”
“There’s no need to say that.”
“I will arrange the dungeon starting tomorrow.”
Moon Joo-young knew what to do without needing instructions.
“Can you avoid getting caught?”
“of course.”
“Then find me a level 2 dungeon with a boss.”
“All right.”
Moon Joo-young bowed his head politely and left. I could feel his sincere loyalty in his greeting.
-That guy will never betray you.
“How do you know that?”
-What are you talking about after thinking about everything? I told a guy I was already in love with a secret, saying I was only showing it to you, but of course he passed on it! You clever guy!
“You’ve got some sense now.”
As we continued to be together, the sense of darkness became unusual.
-Given Moon Joo-young’s personality, even if I die, I won’t tell you your secret. It’s no different from becoming your own person.
“okay. “I finally got my first colleague.”
**
Moon Joo-young saved the dungeon in three days. It was a level 2 dungeon with a boss and was a perfect place to start.
Excluding Baek Woo-jin, the 29 talented people were from three guilds, so they were gathered together. No one spoke to Baek Woo-jin like Hong In-su.
“It’s comfortable this way.”
From level 2 dungeons with bosses, people move by guild and competition within the dungeon intensifies. Baek Woo-jin entered the dungeon as soon as it opened, thinking that talking to his competitors would only make him tired.
Ding!
As soon as he entered the dungeon, a hologram window appeared in Baek Woo-jin’s ears along with a clear notification sound.
[Dungeon information appears as a benefit of accepting the quest.] When
the window showing dungeon information disappeared, five colored dots appeared in Baek Woo-jin’s field of vision.
-omg!
“No way is this….”
