Episode 304 In the final battle,
Baek Woo-jin frowned, spitting out the blood that had accumulated in his mouth.
“Damn it…”
I expected that the deep and wide growth I had achieved so far would rival the darkness, but it was a big mistake.
‘It was quite a mess.’
I raised my right hand and rubbed the back of my head that had been hit by Darkness.
Now I know for sure.
This guy’s power had reached a higher level. He was a difficult opponent to defeat unless he went beyond the absolute and reached transcendence.
“Oh my gosh, I’m going to die.”
Baek Woo-jin suddenly fell backwards. It’s been a while since I used all my strength, and my whole body feels limp.
“joy.”
Heukam snorted as he looked at Baek Woo-jin lying down.
“It’s been five years. “Five years!”
“huh? what?”
“You have risen to the level of an absolute master in just five years of properly learning the sword. “How many people like that do you think exist in the world?”
“There are a lot of people in both your continent and our world, so maybe a few people…”
“Nothing. “Not one.”
Darkness shook his head. He was so adamant that there was no room for it.
“Even if we extend that period to 10 years, there is not a single person. “The speed at which you have grown is literally unprecedented.”
It’s not a lie.
Looking back on the years he lived with the magic sword and the life he remembered little by little from when he was a human, there was no one who grew as fast as Baek Woo-jin.
Baek Woo-jin is a fraud in that he drives alone on the highway while others drive on the national highway.
“Besides, it wasn’t just something that happened.”
Darkness lowered his head and looked at his clothes and arms. His clothes were torn to shreds, and there were black bruises on his arms. These were all places where Baek Woo-jin attacked.
“If you had attacked me using a fish sword as a positive attack, it would have been a bother to me too.”
“You’re laughing. “I didn’t even try my best.”
Baek Woo-jin waved his hand with a sour expression. You know best the difference in power between darkness and darkness. If he had fought sincerely, he would have died long ago.
“anyway.”
Heukam smiled slightly as he looked at Baek Woo-jin lying down.
“Why are you laughing?”
“I think I’ll have to do my best the next time we meet.”
Baek Woo-jin is a monster who is constantly growing. When I thought that if we met again in the spirit world, I might transcend the absolute and reach my own position, I felt both anticipation and envy.
“There’s a mountain to climb before that.”
Baek Woo-jin lifted his upper body slowly like a snail.
“A duel with your father.”
“If I don’t defeat that person, it’s all over.”
The duel with my father was just around the corner. Meeting darkness again is something that can only be accomplished by overcoming it.
“You’re not going to come all the way here and talk weak, are you?”
“No way.”
I shook my head and stood up.
“Now that I know my father’s intentions, I have to fight him properly.”
“What’s your intention?”
“You said it was strange when your father came back to the family and got openly angry. “I found out why.”
“What is that?”
“It’s the same as the red tower. “I pretended to be angry to catch my guard down.”
Angry people have many loopholes.
My father is probably thinking of counterattacking after showing the loophole to catch him off guard.
“I told the top owners that Uhm Woo-sung was very good.”
Thanks to Um Woo-sung and the two top owners, I found out what my father was thinking. Thanks to them, I never fell for my father’s tricks.
“Now this shadow world is coming to an end.”
Baek Woo-jin raised his head. The shadow that had reached the sky sank to waist level. The moment that shadow goes down to the ground, this world ends.
“This will be our last sparring.”
He placed his hand on the Seolyeonggeom and lowered his posture.
“Are you still going to attack me after getting hit like that?”
“I think I need to hit you on the back of the head before you can sleep!”
Baek Woo-jin grinned and kicked the ground.
**
“Hmm…”
Baek Woo-jin let out a low groan and opened his eyes. Above the snow-covered forest, darkness appeared like a sword.
-shit! I can’t believe I got beat up at the end!
‘I just said I wouldn’t get hit.’
He grinned. Just before the world of shadows disappeared, I stabbed my fist into the side of darkness.
Of course, I got hit by more than 10 times before that, but I felt like my mood was blown because I came back after hitting the darkness at the end.
‘You know that in a fight, the person who hits the last punch wins, right?’
-shut up!
“Lord Soga!”
While Baek Woo-jin was making fun of darkness, Moon Ju-young’s voice came from behind him.
“Prosecutor!”
“Lord Soga!”
“young master!”
I turned around while hearing various calls. Moon Ju-young and Mu-yeong-gaek’s medical examiner’s team came rushing in.
“You’re safe!”
“Haha, thank goodness!”
“When he was suddenly enveloped in a shadow and disappeared, it was really…”
Mu Young-gaek and Moon Ju-young breathed a sigh of relief, and Hong A-ra cried and grabbed Black Jeon Ho-po’s sleeve.
“Nothing happened, don’t worry.”
Baek Woo-jin looked at everyone and smiled softly.
“I just came here to catch a demon.”
“A demon?”
“okay. It was that red-haired demon. “In the world he created…”
I told everyone that I had dealt with the demon in the shadow world.
“You’re amazing.”
Park Joo-hoon approached, stuttering.
“I didn’t know that something like that was possible, capturing demons in a barrier created by demons.”
It was more than surprising, it was astounding.
The world created by demons is a very unfavorable place for humans because it has demonic energy and special conditions. To say that it was amazing to catch a demon there and come back is an understatement.
“Now that I think about it, I couldn’t even say thank you properly. “Thank you for saving me.”
“thank you!”
When Park Joo-hoon lowered his head to 90 degrees, the association’s talented people behind him also lowered their heads.
“It’s natural, so don’t worry about it. Rather, the wizards…”
“They have all been subdued. “I even got a brief confession.”
Moon Joo-young smiled slightly and answered. As expected, he is a guy who is sure to get things done.
“great job.”
I looked behind me. As Moon Ju-young said, the wizards of Red Tower, Blue Tower, and Green Tower were crawling on the ground, suppressed.
“There is no need to get your hands dirty, prosecutor. They are scumbags who hit their colleagues on the back, so I will take responsibility and make sure they receive the worst punishment. Of course, we will also spread it to the media.”
Park Joo-hoon’s eyes lit up and his fists clenched.
“Do by that way.”
Baek Woo-jin nodded.
‘You can trust me.’
It can’t be a good feeling since Park Joo-hoon and the other talented members of the association were almost killed by magicians.
Now that the two top owners and Um Woo-sung are dead, Lucas is currently powerless to stop the media. I thought I could just leave it to its own devices.
“No spirit guest.”
“yep!”
“Where did Baphomet go?”
I looked around, but I couldn’t feel Baphomet’s energy.
“Not long after the prosecutor entered the shadow, he suddenly melted.”
Guest Muyeong licked his appetite as if he was disappointed.
-It looks like you were connected to the demon guy. It looks like you died along with him when you killed him.
‘I guess so.’
As the darkness said, when Tyran died, it seemed like Baphomet died along with him.
“Then give it to me.”
“yes?”
“Ask for it.”
“Ugh….”
Baek Woo-jin held out his hand. Muyounggaek’s eyes trembled as if they were being shaken.
“What are you doing. That phrase…”
“Oh shit! all right! “I’ll give it to you!”
Muyounggaek bit his lip until it bled and held out a thick bracelet.
“How did you know that Baphomet dropped the item when you weren’t even here? “There are no real ghosts!”
-Did you know that Baphomet dropped the item? How on earth!
“her!”
Baek Woo-jin burst into laughter as he received a bracelet with two horns drawn on it.
“I asked for beads, not this bracelet.”
-Huh?
“yes?”
“The bead you stole from Um Woo-sung. “I asked for that.”
I asked for the bead that controlled the boss-level monster to see what kind of thing it was, but I was the one who was embarrassed when he suddenly gave me the bracelet.
“Then you didn’t know that the green onion bracelet came out…”
“I’m not a ghost, so how do you know that?”
“Ugh!”
Muyoung-gaek pulled out his hair with a red-faced face.
“shit! “I was deceived!”
-No welcome guests! This idiot is no help! Why give me that!
“I will accept this gratefully.”
“Ugh….”
“Now hand over the beads.”
Baek Woo-jin grinned and held out his hand again. A bracelet is a bracelet. A bead is a bead.
-Oh, the devil. Devil….
“Ah….”
**
Baekcheonhwa’s practice room located in the deepest part of Gajujeon.
Rattling.
The tightly closed door opened, and white light seeped into the darkness-filled training room.
“Matriarch.”
Black Sword Lord Kang Won-jin came in through the open door. He knelt toward the center of the practice room and bowed his head.
“Lord Soga has returned from his mission.”
“….”
Baek Cheon-hwa, who was sitting cross-legged, opened his eyes at the sound of Kang Won-jin’s low voice.
Woooooo!
The entire room seemed to be filled with life from the intense light burning in his eyes.
“In District 4, the owners of Lucas’ tower met Lord Soga…”
Kang Won-jin swallowed his dry saliva and told him everything that had happened in District 4 of Regen.
“Are there any injuries?”
“It’s a minor injury. “These are all wounds that will fully heal before the duel.”
“Thank goodness.”
A smile as cool as the wind of the North Sea bloomed from the corner of Baek Cheon-hwa’s mouth.
“If you don’t kill him when he’s in perfect condition, there’s no reason to gain these powers.”
His two eyes, which were stained with murder, each burned with a different light. The left eye was bright red, like blood, and the right eye was gray, like burnt ash.
Wooooow!
Along with a strange sound, something transparent floated above Baek Cheon-hwa’s head.
“I’m looking forward to that day.”
**
As soon as Baek Woo-jin returned to the family home, he entered the practice room.
“Today’s fight was easy, but because of you…”
Cutting down the Mana of Destruction and dealing with the demons were not that difficult, but due to the sparring with the darkness, my whole body was filled with fatigue.
-Practice and shake off the dirt. Then it will be a little easier.
“That’s what I came here for. But before that, I need to check what I got.”
I held out the bracelet and beads I had received from Muyounggaek towards the darkness.
-My damn it….
“Please do it. Appraiser.”
-Oh!
The darkness spread its aura on the bracelet and beads with the malicious intent to please come out with something bad.
[Baphomet’s mighty power bracelet]
This bracelet is imbued with the mighty power of Baphomet, who can shatter mountains. It greatly increases your strength and agility and allows you to use special abilities that can temporarily amplify your strength.
Grade: Legendary.
Wearable conditions: None.
Physical +40 ,
Swordsmanship +40, Stamina
+40,
Health recovery speed +300%
Special ability: Superpower.
“Good?”
Baek Woo-jin looked at the options on the bracelet and nodded in satisfaction. It increases physical swordsmanship stamina by 40 and even has a special ability called super strength. It was a combat bracelet that fit him perfectly.
[Krakon’s evil lord]
This is the legacy of Krakon, the worst tamer who can control evil monsters. After subduing an evil monster, you can control that monster by contacting it with an evil spell containing mana.
Grade: Legendary.
Special Ability: Evil Attraction. (2/3)
“This is why you were able to control Baphomet.”
Even if only evil-oriented monsters could be controlled, it was an item with terrifying options.
There were only 2 uses left and there was no need for it at the moment, but it was an item that might come in handy someday.
– Again and again! Two of them too!
The darkness fell to the floor like a bird with a damaged wing.
-Is it a bank? If you go to the counter and ask for Legendary, they will give it to you! How can you do this!
A legend that is difficult for others to obtain in their lifetime comes out as if they are breathing. Aside from jealousy, I couldn’t help but feel angry.
-I’m going to turn around! Trying to stop me and kill me…
Ding!
As the darkness struggled on the floor, a clear sound was heard.
“The system is coming.”
-Ah, the devil’s bell! There was no quest! why!
The question of darkness was resolved by a system message.
[Absorbed the energy of Tyran, the highest level demon.]
“It’s finally here.”
Baek Woo-jin grinned. It seemed like the energy gained from killing Tyran had been absorbed.
[All abilities increase.]
[The level of Gwangho Island increases.]
[The level of Wind Wall Sword Mark increases.]
[The level of Falling Strike increases.]
“Awesome….”
My mouth opened wide. . As a top-class demon, Tyran has raised the level of many abilities and characteristics.
-You caught me too! Why only Baek Woo-jin…. No! This time they didn’t even make me purify! I gave it to you directly!
The darkness cried out evilly. The system did not use itself to purify demon energy. Unlike usual, he delivered that energy directly to Baek Woo-jin.
-No way….
“Why?”
-Are you doing this just to beat me up?
It is certainly. It’s 100% selfish.
It was clear that the system did not give anything to Baek Woo-jin for hitting him, but instead purified the demonic energy and gave it to him directly.
-Ugh! I can’t live like this!
The darkness screamed and jumped out.
“It’s been a while since I had to check.”
Baek Woo-jin opened the status window without even looking at the darkness.

“All abilities have increased from the current level….”
All current abilities are at the highest level. In this situation, the increase in all abilities was a gain of close to 18,000 points.
‘The lottery hit.’
Although I didn’t gain any special characteristics or skills, I received more rewards than quests. As expected, it was the energy of a top-class demon.
-What are you going to upload?
Before I knew it, the darkness had returned and settled on my shoulders.
“I have to raise it, but it’s a pity that it
’s only 100 points….” It was such a waste because I could have raised 4 points with just 100 points.
-There will be no quests anymore. Just post at least 3…
ding!
[You stopped the malicious attack without a single casualty.]
[Many people were grateful to you.]
[3100 points will be awarded.]
As soon as the message appeared, the remaining points became 15000. . I was hoping for 100, but it came back to 3100.
“uh? really?”
-Huh! Ugh!
Unlike Baek Woo-jin, who could not hold back his laughter, the darkness hardened like ice.
-It’s not even a quest! Why give points!
I thought my eyes were wrong as they were adding points even though it wasn’t even a quest.
-You are rebelling now! You’re saying this because I hit your baby!
“Sometimes you have to have days like this.”
-sometimes? Gaaaahkk?
The blade of the dark sword turned red as if he was truly angry.
-Every day, just sometimes! Have you ever received an ordinary reward?
“Why are you so angry? “He said he relieved all his stress by beating me.”
-Good luck baby! The system is making this bastard suffer!
Heukam shouted that he really couldn’t stand it anymore and ran out again.
“Isn’t it boring?”
Baek Woo-jin shook his head and raised his physical, swordsmanship, mana, stamina, and mental abilities by 1 each to 15,000 points.
‘This will be the last time.’
There is only one month left until the final battle. There was no way anything could happen between now and I wouldn’t move even if something happened, so this compensation was the last.
Now I had to prepare for the duel by reflecting on the abilities and characteristics I had acquired so far.
Baek Woo-jin’s eyes were emitting a bright light with a combination of anticipation and confidence.
“Let’s try it.”
**
Even though there was less than a month left until the duel with Baek Cheon-hwa, Baek Woo-jin’s life did not change.
I woke up before the sun rose and started practicing at dawn. I practiced swordsmanship from morning to evening, and after that, I repeated imagery training and auror training in the practice room.
Every day was a series of training sessions, but the mix of newness and familiarity made it enjoyable and not boring.
Maybe it was because he lived so hard that he had no regrets even if he died the next day, but he only gave brief advice and didn’t say much. Inside, he probably felt like he was dying because he couldn’t watch the drama.
Keeping the consideration of darkness in mind, I continued training with all my might for that day.
One day turned into two, and two turned into a week.
The morning of the decisive battle dawned on January 1st.
