Episode 300. District 4
Woooo!
Baek Woo-jin’s hands trembled at the enormous energy surging from Seolyeonggeom.
‘He wasn’t an Auror.’
I frowned at the mental power that was disappearing in an instant.
Snowflake Black Spirit was not a technique that only consumed aura. It was a special technique that used very little auror and consumed a lot of mental power.
[Seolyeonggeom’s special skill, Snowflake Black Spirit, is activated.]
With the sword play, the energy of the Seolhwa Black Spirit gushing forth was scattered forward.
Wooooow!
Ice flowers bloomed in the white sky, and black thunderbolts rippled across the dark earth.
Quaaaaa!
The ice flowers that had bloomed like buds bloomed, and the thunderbolt of shadows that decorated the earth soared backwards.
Kwagwagwagwagwang!
The cold and lightning collided, causing a massive explosion. In the aftermath, huge pits were created throughout the training ground.
It looked like level 9 large-range magic had struck down.
‘I’m crazy…’
Baek Woo-jin opened his mouth wide. Even if I had used a lot of mental power, I was speechless because it was absurd that such a small amount of auror could create this level of power.
– Jeenjang! This is why I didn’t want to give my strength to the ingredients!
Darkness let out a scream as he looked at the completely destroyed training ground.
-What on earth did that inspiration come up with?
The performance of the sword itself was amazing, and the fact that it had such a wide range of special skills was a monster in itself.
-no. It’s not just about inspiration. It’s all because of that bastard system!
I cursed as I looked at the darkened sky. The culprit of all this was the system that drove people like demons.
-I can never forgive you. I’ll break the back of your head…
‘That’s why it was a myth.’
Baek Woo-jin smiled happily. I also liked the sword’s charm and abilities, as well as the coldness and thunderbolt special technique Seolhwaheukyeong.
thud.
I turned my head when I heard a sound next to me. Muyounggaek fell to his knees and put his head on the ground.
“If I hit that one, I’ll be behind too. You can never avoid it! I will stop stealing from now on! “Except for Moon Joo-young’s wallet.”
Baek Woo-jin shook his head as he put the Seolyoung sword into its sheath.
“I don’t believe it. “You bastard.”
**
Lucas’ Red Tower, called Korea’s skyscraper.
The office of the owner of the red tower, located on the top floor, contained so many bookshelves that it would not be an exaggeration to call it a library.
[Baek Woo-jin, the head of the Shingeombaekga family, has acquired a new sword. The maker of the sword is Captain Kim Jang-hoon of Arcane.]
Two men were sitting in front of a huge bookshelf that rose to the ceiling, and news was coming out in front of their eyes.
[It is predicted that dragon’s fangs and claw bones were used as materials for the sword. Currently, he is in Baekga…] When
Red Tower owner Kim Jeong-woo snapped his fingers, the video playing in the air suddenly stopped.
“Now it’s news that that guy’s sword has changed. “I should have killed it before it got that big…”
It’s still disappointing.
When Baek Woo-jin killed his student Choi Jae-young and the Blue Tower’s assassination team, he should have been dealt with at all costs.
I really regretted not being able to move because of the outside gaze.
“What’s the use of saying something like that now?”
Kang Baek-in, the owner of the blue tower who was sitting next to him, clicked his tongue.
“Now he has become a big man that cannot be touched…”
Although it was not like Kim Jeong-woo who lost his disciple, he lost Kim Yeon-seong and the members of the assassination squad who he tried to raise as the leader of the assassination squad, so I felt sick every time I saw Baek Woo-jin.
“If that guy becomes the head of the Baek family, Lucas’s influence will be further reduced, so why are the other tower owners staying quiet?…” “
That’s right. They are not gurus and everything will go as it should! Crazy guys!”
Kim Jeong-woo and Kang Baek-in got along well like old friends. It was completely different from the external rumors that they were not getting along well.
It was true that the relationship between the two was not good, but Baek Woo-jin was the reason that the relationship improved.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Kim Jeong-woo and Kang Baek-in became close while discussing how to deal with Baek Woo-jin.
“I don’t know anything else, but I want to interfere enough to affect next year’s duel…” “
As you know, that guy is resistant to the four major attributes. In particular, fire and water won’t work unless it’s a level 9 spell.”
“Ugh…”
Kim Jeong-woo couldn’t hold back his frustration and slammed the table.
“Why does a guy like me have that kind of ability!”
Not only is he strong in swordsmanship, but he also has elemental resistance and even the four major spirits. To be honest, he was a more difficult person to deal with than Baek Chun-hwa.
“I agree.”
“huh?”
“what!”
Kim Jeong-woo and Kang Baek-in jumped up at the sound of a man’s voice outside the door.
“Who is supposed to come?”
“That can’t be possible.”
As the two were raising their mana so they could move right away, the door opened and a short-haired man wearing a green robe came in.
“Um Woo-seong?”
Kim Jeong-woo frowned. The man who opened the door and entered without permission was Eom Woo-seong, a disciple of the owner of the Green Tower.
“Why did you come here?”
“I’d like to join your conversation.”
“what?”
Kang Baek-in checked Um Woo-seong’s condition.
‘What is this guy?’
In the past, Um Woo-sung pretended to be polite on the outside, but now the atmosphere itself was different. It was giving off a strange, indescribable energy.
“I also have a grudge against Baek Woo-jin. “A very bitter resentment.”
Um Woo-seong thrust his clenched fist forward until it bled.
“If I can kill that guy, I can do anything!”
“Hmm…”
“Hmm…”
Kim Jeong-woo and Kang Baek-in licked their lips. I know that Um Woo-sung had a great grudge, but even so, there was no way.
“It’s no use even if you are. Your top owner said he didn’t even move, and Baek Woo-jin was too big. “There is a high possibility that our magic won’t work either.”
“Master handed over the authority of the tower to me and stepped down.”
“what?”
“What is that….”
“I will prepare a way to kill him. “You two just need to help.”
There was a strange note in Um Woo-sung’s voice. Kim Jeong-woo and Kang Baek-in knew that the situation in which the owner of the green tower had stepped down was strange, but they did not think to ask him a question.
“What method are you using?”
Strangely, I was only curious about the method of killing Baek Woo-jin.
“I will tell you about the Mana of Destruction obtained from the ancient magic book.”
“Mana of Destruction?”
Kim Jeong-woo and Kang Baek-in widened their eyes. Wizards written in ancient script are rare and difficult to interpret.
I couldn’t figure out what that guy was thinking when he told me such a rare magic.
“Can you tell me how it is done?”
“In the form of fusing fire attribute mana and water attribute mana in the heart….”
“That part has already been researched! “You know that when humans use it, their bodies break down, right?”
“What else can I say?”
Kim Jeong-woo and Kang Baek-in shook their heads with sad expressions.
“You don’t really listen to what people say. “The magic I will teach you involves preventing physical collapse.”
“Is that really true!”
“Let’s assume what you say is true. “Why are you telling us such precious magic?”
“Didn’t I tell you? “I can do anything to kill Baek Woo-jin.”
Um Woo-sung gave an immediate answer to Kang Baek-in’s question.
“Hmm…”
“Magic is magic, but you need to be prepared to kill it. “The reason I’m calling that guy is because I’m taking advantage of the regeneration district remuneration that will be held at the end of the year…”
Um Woo-sung told the two people his plan to kill Baek Woo-jin with unwavering eyes, as if he had no other intentions.
“That seems plausible.”
“It doesn’t look bad.”
Kim Jeong-woo and Kang Baek-in nodded, not knowing that Um Woo-sung’s eyes were turning golden and their own eyes were following that color.
“Now, I will tell you about the Mana of Destruction, which has no side effects. First…”
As Um Woo-sung began explaining the destruction magic, the two people focused all their attention on his words.
Ugh!
Um Woo-sung’s shadow, illuminated by the ceiling, becomes longer. Wings sprout and horns rise.
The shadow let out a bizarre laugh, but no one noticed it.
**
Two months have passed since Baek Woo-jin acquired a new sword and black gun.
As the cool weather became colder, I finished adjusting to the Seolyeonggeom and the new black battle gun.
However, even after getting used to Seolyeonggeom, I did not stop training all night long. I endlessly repeated the Aura and imagery training using basic techniques and swords.
-Aren’t you tired of it?
Heukam stuck out his tongue as he watched Baek Woo-jin practicing the basics.
Even after ascending to absolute status, he himself was unable to skip basic training.
No, no one in the world can do that. Baek Woo-jin was a guy to whom the word “terrible” really fits.
Slurp.
Baek Woo-jin finished his training only when the sun rose in the sky and it was time to go home.
-You finished early today.
“I have to keep my promise.”
-You didn’t forget! I believed it!
“You’re going to make a fuss, so there’s no way you’ll forget.”
Baek Woo-jin shrugged his shoulders. Since the darkness has helped me a lot in my training, I promised to show a drama from this evening to tomorrow night.
-You just play continuously and do Auror exercises. I’ll take care of it myself.
“I tried to do that from the beginning.”
Baek Woo-jin nodded and organized his training equipment.
“let’s go.”
-Kkkkkk. Caught up on all the dramas today!
Darkness let out a sincere laugh for the first time in a long time.
-First of all, it would be perfect to start with “I’ve been there twice,” which has just ended, and end with “Do you like trumpets?”
“follow your heart.”
-You know you have to change the drama midway, right? Ah, what a waste of my body. If you watch it while drinking beer, it must be heaven!
“okay. okay.”
Baek Woo-jin left the gym to watch the drama, responding to the dark nonsense of regretting his body.
Ugh.
As I was about to enter the Battle of the White Guards, my cell phone rang. Moon Ju-young’s name was floating on the screen.
[Lord Soga!]
As soon as I answered the phone, Moon Ju-young’s urgent voice burst out.
“Outside the family? “Why are you calling?”
[I contacted you because it was urgent!]
“What’s going on?”
[The head of the family….]
Moon Joo-young swallowed dry saliva and opened her mouth.
[The head of the family is returning!]
**
Baek Woo-jin headed to the main gate to greet Baek Cheon-hwa’s return.
-The relationship seems like shit, so is there any need for you to greet him? Go and watch a drama!
‘First of all, it’s a cow.’
If you don’t go even though you heard the news that the head of the family is returning, you might get caught.
Especially in times like now, you have to be careful about even the little things, so it’s right to go.
When I arrived at the main gate, most of the family’s prosecutors had already gathered.
‘A lot of those who were hiding have come out.’
Prosecutors from the Gaju faction, Baek So-hee, and Baek Myung-hoon from Baekho, who were usually out of sight, also appeared.
“I meet Lord Soga.”
As Baek Woo-jin moved to Sogaju’s seat, Kim Hyeong-woon, the great swordsman who was standing on his left, bowed his head.
“Are you feeling okay now?”
“Thanks to Lord Soga, everyone in the Cheek and Sword Team was able to return without any aftereffects.”
Kim Hyung-woon looked at Baek Woo-jin with respect in his eyes.
‘Even thinking about it now, it’s amazing.’
The venom possessed by wasps was both extremely poisonous and non-toxic. He was a mysterious person who was able to remove poison and even eliminate the aftereffects that even those with recovery abilities had given up on.
“thank god.”
“Thank you so much.”
Kim Hyeong-woon bowed his head again and returned to the place where the inspection table was.
“This is the first time I’ve seen that person flatter me like that.”
Baek Eun-kyung slowly approached like a sleepy cat.
“what?”
“The Cheokgeomdaeju are non-gunners who don’t care about others, as befits a shock trooper. “It’s my first time seeing a face like that.”
“I guess that’s because it saved my life.”
“I don’t think that’s it…”
She looked at Baek Woo-jin with sullen eyes and then went to stand in her seat.
-I think your sister is right. The look in the eyes of the Grand Master of Cheokgeom changed.
‘….’
Even if Darkness or Baek Eun-kyung didn’t say anything, they noticed it. The atmosphere of the Great Lord of Cheokgeom went beyond simple gratitude and rose to the level just before loyalty.
‘But receiving his loyalty only happens when you overcome your father.’
Even if the Great Lord of Swords is sincerely loyal, it won’t help now. The most important thing is to defeat my father.
-That’s right, but you too…
‘It’s coming.’
Baek Woo-jin looked at the front door. A subversive wave of energy that did not hide its strength was approaching.
“Ugh!”
“Hmm…”
The low-level swordsmen groaned at the terrifying energy that Baek Cheon-hwa gave off.
Gooooo!
As the prosecutors held on, the front door opened wide and Baek Cheon-hwa, wearing a white robe, entered.
“Meet the matriarch!”
Hundreds of swordsmen knelt down and bowed their heads while shouting loudly.
Jeez.
Baek Cheon-hwa walked along the path of the prosecutors without saying a word. Everyone held their breath at the overwhelming energy wave and intense atmosphere.
Coo coo coo coo.
Baek Cheon-hwa stood in front of Baek Woo-jin with heavy steps, as if she was walking alone.
-Hmm….
‘Hmm….’
Baek Woo-jin and Darkness moaned at the same time.
‘I’ve become stronger.’
The level of energy my father exerted increased. He also came back after achieving some growth in this short period of time.
‘The atmosphere has also changed.’
It feels like not only the ability has become stronger, but the person’s temperament itself has changed. A fierce anger that seemed as if it would explode at any moment was all over his body.
“Thank you for your effort.”
“….”
Baek Woo-jin lowered his head. Baek Cheon-hwa looked at Baek Woo-jin in silence. In that heavy silence, the prosecutors bit their lips, feeling the taste of death.
“You’ve become stronger.”
Baek Cheon-hwa’s lips, which seemed to have been closed forever, opened. A word of praise from a father to his son. But the voice was so cold that it made me shiver.
“The head of the family has also become stronger.”
Baek Woo-jin raised his head and made eye contact with Baek Cheon-hwa. There was so much hatred and anger in his eyes that it gave me goosebumps.
“I will be closing by the end of December. You should take care of the family affairs. “Enjoy the last position given to you.”
Baek Chun-hwa passed by Baek Woo-jin, leaving behind icy cold words.
“….”
Baek Woo-jin narrowed his eyes as he looked at Baek Cheon-hwa’s back heading towards the family hall.
‘Strange.’
-what?
‘You show too much emotion.’
It was unbecoming of a father to show such visible anger even after so much time had passed.
-The father you saw was always like that.
‘It did. But now I feel like I’m forcing myself to show my anger.’
Baek Cheon-hwa has a childish side, but she is not stupid. It’s strange to see such anger openly.
‘We must not let down our guard.’
Baek Woo-jin bit his lip and looked in the direction where Baek Cheon-hwa disappeared.
‘never.’
**
Baek Woo-jin came to the training center the next day for training.
-You bastard!
“You saw it yesterday too. “I can’t sit still while my father is planning something.”
-Ugh….
Darkness groaned. Baek Tian-hwa has become stronger, and it is understandable that he is anxious because he does not know the direction in which his growth is going and what kind of tricks he is using.
But it was too much to immediately break the promise. I have to say something bitter….
“Instead, you can watch three hours of dramas that will be shown during evening imagery training.”
-Really?
“really.”
Baek Woo-jin smiled and nodded.
-Huh, if that’s the case, I’ll give in because I have a big heart. So how are you going to practice?
“If I can, I’d like to experience some real combat…”
Since I’ve only been training at the gym for over two months, I wanted to experience some real combat for the first time in a long time.
-Now that I’ve gotten used to the new sword, it will be good to actually use it.
“If there is a suitable dungeon, I should go.”
-I’ll tell you to invite Moon Ju-young and you can just train. If you keep your balance well, you can respond no matter what your opponent does.
“That’s right.”
Baek Woo-jin pulled out the Seolyoung sword. Just as I was about to start training, the door to the Geomgak opened and Moon Ju-young came running in.
“Lord Soga!”
“What is it again this time?”
“A mission has been sent to you, Master.”
“mission?”
I took the mission statement handed to me by Moon Joo-young and opened it.
“Regen District 4?”
-Ah, three times! I can’t watch another drama!
