Episode 302 Area 4 (3)
“It was like this.”
Baek Woo-jin listened to the conversation between the two top owners through the button and grinned.
“Are these bastards targeting the prosecutor now? “You’re so crazy, aren’t you?”
Muyounggaek burst out laughing as if it was absurd.
-Geez….
‘Was I right? ‘I told you it was strange.’
-You are quite a shaman! You are a shaman!
The darkness trembled with its blade. That monster has now gained ghost-like senses and even thwarted the enemy’s plan.
-To be honest, I didn’t know that the leaders of a group could be so disgusting. Have you forgotten that they caused the problem in the first place?
‘Because they think the world revolves around them. And they’re not the only ones who are scum.’
-huh?
‘There is no one who can follow my father in being boring and childish.’
-When you say that, I have nothing to say.
Darkness chuckled and nodded his sword blade.
“Well, the tower owners say yes, but who is Um Woo-sung who is bringing the boss monster?”
“I don’t know?”
“yes? “Hmm, I don’t know…”
Moo Young-gaek frowned as if he had no idea.
“Do you remember the island we went to when I got Leo?”
“Was it the island of the Wind God? “It was not long after we met.”
“If you remember that island, there’s no way you wouldn’t know who Um Woo-sung is, right?”
“Well, I don’t know about him, but I definitely remember the island. Because I stole the Wind God’s beads and also stole weapons and tools. There were a lot of hot guys there! Oh, it was fun.”
Muyounggaek clapped his hands as if he was remembering that time.
“It’s him.”
“yes?”
“The hero who stole the beads there is Um Woo-seong. Disciple of the Green Tower Lord. “I’m sure you’ve heard the name.”
“Huh!”
-Wow, it’s amazing that you don’t even know the name. This thief really has a big mindset. leading figure!
Darkness sighed in vain. It’s very brave of Ji to forget the name of the guy he had so much fun playing with.
‘In a way, it may be natural.’
-why?
‘Because to him, Um Woo-seong was just a brat who gave him weapons in exchange for beads.’
Baek Woo-jin smiled while looking at Mu Young-gaek.
“Then the reason why that idiot is targeting you, prosecutor…”
“I guess it’s because of the grudge on the island.”
“Ugh! Sorry! because of me!”
Muyounggaek bent down at a right angle like a flip phone.
‘I can’t believe something like this is happening…’
Hearing that there is someone targeting Baek Woo-jin because of his theft, he feels so sorry that he doesn’t know what to do.
smart.
There was a steady knocking noise coming from outside the door. The door opened and Moon Joo-young came in and bowed her head.
“Lord Soga. The briefing is over. The prosecutors were made to wait in the conference room… hmm? “Why is the atmosphere like this?”
Moon Ju-young tilted his head as he looked at Mu Young-gaek.
“No spirit guest.”
“Yes….”
“Raise your head and explain.”
“Ugh….”
Muyounggaek bit his lip, unable to speak.
“You got into some kind of accident again!”
“Actually, when I went to Wind God’s Island before…”
Muyounggaek relayed to Moon Juyoung everything he had heard through the button.
“You crazy bastard! “I thought there would be trouble because of you!”
Moon Joo-young grabbed Moo Young-gaek by the collar and lifted him up.
“Sorry….”
“There’s no need to apologize, so just let it go.”
“yes?”
“…All right.”
Moon Ju-young was still angry and glared at Mu Young-gaek, but he faithfully carried out Baek Woo-jin’s orders.
“The reason Um Woo-seong is targeting me is not because you stole the beads.”
“yes? Then…”
“I gained the power of the Spirit King that he should have, and after that, I beat him until he was about to die. Actually….”
Baek Woo-jin went back to Moon Ju-young and Mu Young-gaek and told them the facts about how he had killed half of the Green Tower wizards.
“Even if Muyounggaek hadn’t stolen, I would have eventually gained the power of the Wind God, so he would have targeted me.”
“I see.”
“Haha, I’m glad.”
Muyoung-gaek sighed in relief, rubbing his chest.
“If he had targeted the prosecutor because of me, he would have really stopped stealing.”
-Just hang up!
“Just stop it! “You bastard!”
Darkness and Moon Joo-young screamed at the same time.
“That’s it. “Let’s get ready first.”
Baek Woo-jin raised his hand and drew everyone’s attention.
“Now that I’ve heard the plan, I have to get ready to hit them in the back.”
In fact, the tower owners’ speech itself was not very long, but it contained all important information.
“First, the destruction magic mentioned by the two tower owners.”
“What is that?”
“Even though the tower owners knew that I had elemental resistance, they were confident that the magic would work.”
The two top owners are not fools.
Since he said it so confidently, he must have prepared a special magic that goes beyond ordinary attribute magic.
-I don’t know about destruction magic. There is such a thing as mana of destruction.
‘Mana of destruction?’
-You know that even if you are a wizard with two attributes, you only use one attribute when emitting it, right?
‘of course.’
-Mana of Destruction is mana created by harmonizing water and fire attributes, which are nearly opposites, in the heart.
The voice of darkness sank low.
-The mana of destruction created in this way has the effect of ignoring the opponent’s attribute resistance or defense. Even the strength melts, so no matter how dangerous you are.
‘I can’t believe there was such a thing…’
– However, it is a magic that is not used even on our continent.
‘huh?’
-If you use that magic, your body will collapse. Even if you’re a high-level wizard, you can’t stand it.
Using the Mana of Destruction was the same as preparing for death.
‘I think that’s right. That magic would work on me too. It’s just strange…’
Baek Woo-jin tapped the table with his finger.
‘It’s true that they have a grudge against me, but I don’t understand why they want to kill me by burning their own lives.’
-Well, if they really wanted to kill you, they would have targeted you right away.
‘Is there a way to prevent the body from collapsing?’
-I may be able to endure it a few more times, but there is no such way. Because that magic originally belonged to the demon race.
‘Then there’s no use worrying about it now. For now, I know what I’m trying to do, so that’s it.’
Baek Woo-jin nodded and called Moon Ju-young and Moo Young-gaek.
“Now I will explain the magic of destruction.”
I briefly explained to Mu Young-gaek and Moon Ju-young what I heard from Heuk-am.
“As expected, there is nothing that Lord Soga doesn’t know!”
“That’s amazing! “It’s a bit scary to think of that kind of magic.”
“Do not block or cut, just avoid. Since you know the timing, it won’t be difficult to avoid it. Moon Joo-young, so that you can lead everyone.”
“yes!”
-Wow, it’s my friend….
‘Thank you.’
After thanking Heukam sincerely, he brought out the second piece of information.
“Secondly, when Um Woo-sung says he is bringing a boss monster, we can see that he means controlling the boss. In other words, he must have the ability to control the boss.”
“That guy is a green top. “Do you have that ability?”
“You can see it when you say it with such confidence. But you can’t just do it.”
The level of boss monsters in Area 4 is 8 to 9.
Even if you have a special charm ability, you will need a tool to amplify that ability.
“So we need your role here.”
Baek Woo-jin raised his finger and pointed at Mu Young-gaek.
“Me?”
“Let’s rob Hogu one more time. “You play the role of the Joker.”
-You’re really crazy.
Darkness stuck out its tongue. Baek Woo-jin figured out their plans in detail through a short conversation between the two tower owners and immediately came up with a plan. The head spinning is not only extraordinary, but crazy.
As expected, that guy was the type whose head was scarier than his strength.
“Just hearing the title Joker makes my heart race. so cool! joker!”
Muyounggaek seemed to like the word “joker” and grinned while rubbing his palms.
-It’s probably not Joker, but small rice….
Heukam clicked his tongue as he saw Muyounggaek falling for Baek Woojin.
**
Baek Woo-jin arrived at the entrance of District 4, leading Moon Ju-young, the two top lords of the Medical Swordsman, magicians Park Ju-hoon, and the Association’s talents.
“You must be careful from now on.”
Park Joo-hoon stopped and looked at everyone.
“The monsters behind this barrier are at least level 7, and the strongest ones are over level 9. “Regardless of their abilities, there are many difficult people to deal with, so please be careful with every step.”
“We’re not the first, so don’t worry.”
Kang Baek-in nodded and looked at Baek Woo-jin standing on his left.
“Then, prosecutor. “Please.”
Park Joo-hoon followed his gaze and bowed his head towards Baek Woo-jin.
“All right. let’s go.”
“yes!”
Baek Woo-jin stepped into the barrier while listening to the medical swordsman’s loud answer. I crossed the barrier, feeling as if I was submerging myself in heavy water.
Whoa!
A vast forest appeared before my eyes, and golf ball-sized snow was falling throughout the forest.
Some time had passed, and the snow had already piled up on the ground to ankle-deep or higher.
-There was no mention of snow?
‘I know.’
There was no talk about eyes in Park Joo-hoon’s briefing. It seemed like Um Woo-sung had done something.
“Kwaaaaah!”
Before I could survey the entire scene of Area 4, a giant with long white fur broke through the center of the forest and rushed out. It’s a level 8 monster, Etty.
“Kaaaa!”
Eti came up in an instant and struck me with a club as big as a building pillar. It seems like they are going to kill him right away.
‘The welcome ceremony was quite fancy.’
Baek Woo-jin chuckled and pulled out his Seolyoung sword.
Wow!
The huge club and Eti’s body were split in half at the same time.
“Kyaaaa!”
“Kaaaaaak!”
Gargoyles in the form of small dragons and black-skinned harpies came down behind Eti’s body as it landed. They were the 8th grade monster Raven Harpy and the 9th grade Dracoon Gargoyle.
“Huh!”
“Turn it off!”
The Association’s talented people and magicians who came in late screamed. The monsters were so fast and numerous that there was no time to use magic or abilities.
Sigh!
Baek Woo-jin took a step forward and swung his Seolyoung sword sideways. Jet-black light surged along the sharp blade of the sword.
Whoops!
A black line was drawn in the air like a brush dividing white paper.
“Squeak….”
“Crrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrm…”
The bodies of the Dracoon Gargoyles and Raven Harpies, who were spitting flames and raising their claws, split at an angle and fell into the snow-covered stand.
The white snow field began to be covered with the blood of monsters.
“How…”
Park Joo-hoon swallowed dry saliva. I just lightly slashed the sword, but monsters in different directions and positions were split in the same way. It was a sight I couldn’t believe even when I saw it with my own eyes.
“Uhm….”
“Tsk.”
Kim Jeong-woo and Kang Baek-in frowned as they looked at Baek Woo-jin’s back. It was more of a monster than I had ever heard of, a sword strike like that without even raising the energy properly.
“Lord Soga. “What if you do everything yourself?”
“therefore! “You should give us a chance to practice.”
Hye-ri Park and Woo-hyuk Kim approached grumbling.
“There will be a lot of fighting ahead, so make sure you relax.”
“yes!”
Baek Woo-jin smiled at Hong A-ra’s sonorous answer and approached Park Joo-hoon.
“It’s snowing.”
“Oh, I’m sorry. Obviously, there was no change in weather like this when we went…”
Park Joo-hoon lowered his head as if he was being ignored.
“It’s already happened so there’s nothing we can do. If all goes according to plan, we will first check the eastern barrier at the entrance, right?”
“Oh yeah! Red Tower Lord. “Please!”
“…I understand.”
Kim Jeong-woo nodded and examined the barrier with the wizards. After checking the barrier, he called Park Joo-hoon.
“The damage is quite severe.”
“Are you sure?”
“I guess it’s because someone caused a stir in District 3 a few years ago. I should have done the maintenance back then. “It will take some time.”
Kim Jeong-woo glanced at Baek Woo-jin next to Park Joo-hoon. He was talking about the time he had previously captured a manticore to obtain the Black Battle Cannon.
“That’s right.”
Baek Woo-jin made eye contact with Kim Jeong-woo and smiled.
“You should have done proper maintenance back then. “Then you would be comfortable now.”
It is true that the barrier was damaged with black arrows, but it was already known at the time. Kim Jeong-woo was still forcing himself into an argument.
-Hahaha! That’s right! I should have done it then. Even if you intentionally start a fight, it’s too obvious!
Darkness giggled as he looked at Kim Jeong-woo, biting his lip and glaring at Baek Woo-jin.
“Ugh, the guy who hasn’t learned anything…”
“Aren’t you tired of being the first to argue and then get angry first?”
“Shut up!”
Kim Jeong-woo spewed out extremely powerful fire-attribute mana. The snow on the ground melted in an instant.
“Haha, isn’t now the time for that?”
Kang Baek-in sighed and stepped between the two.
“First, repair the barrier and then go out and fight. hurry!”
“Whoa…”
Kim Jeong-woo pretended not to win and followed Kang Baek-in to the place where the core of the barrier was.
“Medical and swords team. I will hold this position from now on. “Don’t let even a single rat get in.”
“yes!”
Following Baek Woo-jin’s instructions, the medical swords team gave a loud shout and gained momentum.
Wooooow!
The two tower owners and wizards glanced behind them and began repair work on the barrier.
“Next was the center, right?”
“Oh yeah!”
Baek Woo-jin nodded and looked up at the sky.
[Time remaining until boss appears 00:00:00]
Time had stopped. In other words, the boss was already there.
-Even though the boss has appeared, no one knows. It means that the big guy named Eom Woo-seong hid it.
‘okay. ‘I have to be careful when moving.’
I know there is a boss, but I don’t know what kind of boss it is, and I don’t know what abilities Um Woo-sung has. You should never get excited or let down your guard.
Wooooow!
Baek Woo-jin’s eyes lit up as he looked at the tree on the left, scattering his energy.
**
Baek Woo-jin led his party to repair the barriers in the east, west, south, and center.
Now that only the northern barrier remained and there were no injuries, everyone seemed to be quite relaxed. Of course, only the competent people of the association know nothing.
‘Wizards are part of it too.’
I realized this clearly while observing the wizards. Not only the tower owners but also the wizards were preparing to attack them.
-You knew it.
‘The suspicion was confirmed. On the day of the two tower lords, wizards will target the medical swords team and the talented people of the association.’
Baek Woo-jin informed Moon Ju-young and the medical school of the plans he had figured out for Um Woo-seong and the two top owners.
“This is the last one. “There isn’t much left, so please cheer up everyone!”
Park Joo-hoon, befitting his cheerful personality, encouraged everyone in front of the northern barrier.
Just like before, the wizards approached the barrier for inspection, and the medical sword team stood in front of it.
“Hmm…”
After a while, Kim Jeong-woo, who had finished checking the barrier, approached.
“The damage to the barrier here is not that great. “I can finish it soon.”
“oh! thank god!”
“It will take about 20 minutes, so please take care of it.”
“of course.”
Baek Woo-jin did not say anything and just stood still, listening to the conversation between the two people. Kim Jeong-woo looked at himself and returned to the barrier.
‘I guess I’ll come now.’
Although it was only for a moment, I could feel the change in Kim Jeong-woo’s emotions. My self-hatred turned into anticipation.
-That expectation must be the expectation of your death. It’s definitely good timing. It’s time for everyone to let down their guard.
It was the last barrier, the repair time for the barrier was short, only 20 minutes, and no one was injured. It was the best situation to let down one’s guard.
[Now Woosung Um will bring the boss. [Please prepare everything.]
Baek Woo-jin sent a message to the medical examiner and Moon Ju-young to warn them and spread their spirits.
Coo coo coo coo!
After about 15 minutes, when people were almost relaxed, a loud noise was heard that seemed to move the entire snow-covered forest.
Quaaaaa!
About 30 Etys came running out of the forest, and about 20 Dracoon Gargoyles and Raven Harpies rushed across the sky.
“Everyone ready for battle!”
“statement!”
“Let’s go too!”
At the direction of Moon Ju-young and Hong Nam-ki, the medical sword team rushed forward, and Park Ju-hoon and the Association’s capable men drew their weapons.
But Baek Woo-jin did not move. I stopped quietly and looked into the empty space in front of me.
Wow!
The space filled with snow split apart, revealing a monster over 4 meters tall.
The giant goat’s head had two horns rising in a spiral pattern, its upper body was covered with rugged muscles like an ogre, and devil’s wings were fluttering like gargoyles on its back.
-Baphomet!
‘Baphomet?’
Baek Woo-jin looked back at the darkness. It was a monster he had never seen before, even though he had knowledge of the future.
-It is a monster that falls outside the category of monsters. This guy uses both speculation and magic! Why is this guy who should be trapped in Rapport’s labyrinth here?
Darkness glared at Baphomet with horrified eyes. This guy is not just a monster. It was a being more evil than a devil full of malice.
‘You called out an interesting guy.’
As the darkness said, it looks strong. It seemed like things were going to be more fun than I thought.
Ugh!
Before the dimension door opened by Baphomet was closed, wizards wearing black robes appeared in a line.
Among them, a man with a staff with a gray bead hanging from it came forward and took off his hood.
“You remember me, right?”
His face became pale and as if his soul had gone out, but it was Um Woo-sung’s face.
“Um Woo-seong?”
Baek Woo-jin pretended to be surprised and opened his eyes.
“I came here to kill you. Baek Woo-jin!”
Um Woo-seong glared at Baek Woo-jin, burning his killing intent and drawing up intense mana.
– Are you revealing your identity here?
‘On purpose.’
Baek Woo-jin looked at Um Woo-seong and whetted his appetite.
-what?
‘By drawing attention to yourself, you give the wizards behind you time to attack.’
It was only a short moment, but I already figured out what he was thinking.
“Baphomet! “Kill him!”
“Keeeeeeee!”
When Baphomet roared and kicked the ground, Eti and the Gargoyle Harpies, who had stopped, rushed together.
Coo coo coo coo!
Wind attribute mana exploded in the hands of Um Woo-seong and the green tower wizards.
Teuong!
Baek Woo-jin sharpened his senses and ran towards Baphomet.
Kwaaaaang!
The great sword struck by Seolyeonggeom and Baphomet collided, and pure white snow flew.
**
Even though Baphomet struck Baek Woo-jin with his great sword with a fierce spirit and poured out all the magic power of the wizards of the Green Tower, Baek Woo-jin was not pushed away.
[Squeak….]
Baphomet’s bewildered cry comes out. Baek Woo-jin was pushing Baphomet with force, breaking its balance.
It was a sight that seemed unreal, overpowering a level 9 monster with strength rather than skill.
However, Um Woo-sung was looking beyond Baek Woo-jin and looking behind him without the slightest embarrassment.
‘It’s almost done now.’
Baek Woo-jin and all the talented members of the Medical Swordsman Association were looking straight ahead, and behind them, the two tower owners and wizards were using magic.
Gooooo!
White energy, like falling snow, burned in the hands of Kim Jeong-woo and Kang Baek-in. It is a mana of destruction that combines fire and water attributes.
‘It’s worth it to sprinkle snow.’
Snow was even sprinkled here to hide the pure white light of the mana of destruction. Now it was time to see the fruits of that effort.
Wooooow!
Mana of destruction shot out from the hands of the two tower owners. The two rays of white light literally became beams of light and aimed at Baek Woo-jin’s back.
‘it’s over!’
Um Woo-seong clenched his fist. Even though the Mana of Destruction had already been activated, Baek Woo-jin did not notice.
Baek Woo-jin’s life was no different from having already been cut off.
Woooooo!
Baek Woo-jin laughed when the Mana of Destruction was just around the corner.
“Did you expect it?”
“what?”
“I knew.”
Baek Woo-jin drew a wind wall to block his approach and turned around.
‘You idiot!’
Um Woo-seong snorted.
‘It’s already too late!’
The destruction magic used by the two tower owners pierces through any substance or energy.
It also has a guidance function, so once it is activated, the only thing left for the target is death.
‘Of course there are sacrifices.’
He smiled and looked at the two tower owners. Contrary to what was told to the two people, there was no way to prevent the collapse of the body using destruction magic.
Wooooow!
Um Woo-sung turned his head towards Baek Woo-jin again. Jet-black energy bloomed from this guy’s sword. The guy was trying to cut down the magic of destruction with his strength.
I smiled naturally. Even strong weapons cannot cut down the magic of destruction. I pictured him dying in my mind.
However, Um Woo-sung’s smile did not last even for a moment.
Cheeeeee!
When Baek Woo-jin traced the trajectory of the magic of destruction with his sword, the two magics slowly stopped. The rotation stopped and the magic dispersed like fog.
“Ah….”
“Ugh!”
“uh?”
Um Woo-sung and the two top owners opened their mouths to the point where they were torn apart. Baek Woo-jin should die with his sword, but instead the destruction magic disappears. I couldn’t figure out what happened.
“Is this it? “The preparation is really poor.”
Baek Woo-jin looked at Um Woo-seong and showed his fierce anger.
“Ahh! Baphomet!”
Um Woo-seong was scared and called Bartomet. But Baphomet did not respond.
“Baphomet! what are you doing!”
[….]
Baphomet was looking up into the sky with unfocused eyes.
“What the hell…”
Um Woo-seong looked around in shock and realized that the bead of delusion he had attached to his staff was gone.
“Are you looking for this?”
A man’s voice was heard from the tree on the right. The unpleasant-looking man grinned while holding an orb of deception.
“You’re a really hot guy too.”
