Episode 305 Decisive Battle (2)
January 1st.
The day a new sun rose.
People around the world have been sitting in front of their TVs or computers since dawn, filled with anticipation.
It’s not about seeing the New Year’s sunrise.
Baek Woo-jin and Baek Cheon-hwa.
They stayed up all night waiting for the duel between two warriors, father and son, but with completely opposite values.
-It’s finally today!
-I thought you were going to leave because you were waiting. I can’t sleep!
-This is the first time I’ve waited for the day when I turned 30. Hahaha – so who do you think will win?
-Baekcheonhwaji! The time Baek Woo-jin became absolute is only one year. Compared to that, the years Baek Tian-hwa ascended to absolute power cannot be compared. It will be a fight worth watching, but the winner has already been decided.
-Heukgeomdae, welcome back.
-The higher-ups are talking bitterly. Daeyeonmunju, who was considered to be on the same level as Baekcheonhwa, was robbed? Did you search for Kaiser as well?
-ㄹㅇ It’s a bag. Don’t you remember that a month ago, you wore a red top, a blue top, a green top, and even a demon, but it was all blown up by Baek Woo-jin?
-that’s right. There was an uproar because of that. Lucas apologized to the public and guild activities were suspended.
-The quality of Baek Woo-jin’s talent is different from the years he spent learning the sword. Looking at the current situation, it’s just half and half.
-no way! Anyway, it’s white paper. Even if Baek Woo-jin struggles, he cannot defeat Baek Cheon-hwa, who uses a strong sword. In addition, Baek Cheon-hwa would have taught Baek Woo-jin swordsmanship and would know all of Baek Woo-jin’s weaknesses.
– Baek Cheon-hwa taught swordsmanship. Hahaha. Baek Cheon-hwa did not care about Baek Woo-jin and did not take care of him. Baek Woo-jin grew up alone, so the sound of a miracle came out, but there are many kids who don’t know.
-It’s the same here, but if you look at the fact that the Toto dividend is exactly half, it seems like it’s a close match.
-Oh, I don’t want to be Baek Woo-jin today. not today. My heart may burst and I may die….
People all over the world wrote so many posts and comments that the server exploded in anticipation of the duel between the two absolutes that will take place today.
**
Baek Woo-jin opened his eyes with the sunlight coming through the window.
Deep snow that seems to have penetrated the floor and sunk deep underground.
His eyes were so calm that it was hard to believe that he was going to have a life-threatening duel today.
-Are you sure you can’t sleep? There’s still time left, so at least a little…
“It’s better to meditate.”
-I know that.
The darkness ate my appetite. Baek Woo-jin did not sleep and repeated meditation and exercises until the sun rose.
-Not sleeping is not necessarily a good thing.
It’s not like a problem arises if a master like Baek Woo-jin doesn’t sleep, but I couldn’t help but feel worried.
“Are you worried?”
-Why worry about that! If you die, I’ll have to find a new slave, which is just annoying.
“Because there is no reason to die. “Don’t be unlucky.”
Baek Woo-jin stood up with a grin. Starting from the neck, I slowly relaxed my body.
-What did you do in meditation?
“Peace of mind.”
I turned my shoulder and saw darkness.
“I tried to calm myself down so I wouldn’t get embarrassed no matter what he did today.”
-Good posture.
The darkness came in front of me with a happy smile.
-As you said, Baek Chun-hwa is not stupid, he is strong and vicious. You will definitely come prepared with a lot of preparation, so make sure to maintain an unwavering spirit throughout the battle.
“That’s right.”
Baek Woo-jin nodded. Thanks to Lucas and Tyran’s attack, I found out what my father was thinking.
A strategy to induce people to let down their guard by acting out their anger.
But that won’t be everything.
It is obvious that they have prepared combat aspects, increased military power, and dirty tricks.
-Your father is a person who can kill you at any time.
The voice of darkness settled down as heavily as mud in a swamp.
-He doesn’t have any feelings for you. They see me as a human being worse than an enemy. If I get the chance, I will pierce your heart and cut your throat. can you do that?
I have seen many cases where people take revenge on their parents or siblings but eventually become weak and get hit back.
Since there was no law prohibiting Baek Woo-jin from doing so, we had to clearly raise awareness.
“….”
Baek Woo-jin looked out the window in silence. I turned my head while looking at the trainee dormitory where I lived in my previous life.
“If this were my first life, it would have been as difficult as you said.”
father is father It makes no sense to kill my father since he was the one who gave me his flesh and blood.
But this is a second life.
In his first life, it was his father who ordered him to sever his tendons and explode the aura in his heart to drive him out.
I still vividly remember when my Baek family name was taken away and I became a homeless person without a penny.
“I know better than anyone else what kind of person my father is. don’t worry.”
There was a sparkle in Baek Woo-jin’s eyes. It is a serious light that combines decisiveness and caution.
-Good eyes.
He nodded his sword blade as if he liked the darkness.
“Are you ready to use that too?”
-Of course. You can fight at any time.
“Then that’s it.”
Baek Woo-jin grinned and put on a black jacket.
“Because I’m perfectly prepared too.”
He wore a seolyeonggeom on his waist and opened the door.
“Woojin.”
Just as I was about to head to the main training hall, a man approached me from the lobby of Baekwijeon.
“Bugalord?”
This is Baek Cheon-woong, the deputy head. He held out the silver water bottle he was holding in his hand.
“Are you going hungry?”
“yes? “Oh yes.”
Baek Woo-jin accepted the bottle of water offered by Baek Cheon-woong with a puzzled look on his face. A warm and fragrant smell flowed out through the open crack. It was the scent of green tea.
“green tea?”
“I thought you were going to leave without eating breakfast.”
Baek Cheonwoong smiled softly.
“As expected, you know me well.”
“This is tea made from tea leaves that I grow.”
When Baek Woo-jin nodded and was about to drink tea, Baek Cheon-woong slowly opened his mouth.
“Growing tea was harder than I thought. It was annoying in many ways because I had to think about the weather and temperature and manage the land and water. Still, I was really happy to see the green tea tree growing properly and blooming leaves.”
“Hmm…”
“To me, you were like the tea leaves. I was happy just to see that the young and inexperienced guy had become such a huge figure like he is now. That’s why I wanted to give you that first car.”
“….”
Baek Woo-jin looked at the water bottle containing green tea in silence for a long time.
I opened the lid and poured green tea into my mouth.
A gritty sensation, completely different from that of luxury tea, moistened my tongue.
It was bitter, had a strong scent, and was less savory.
Although it is a taste that is difficult to sell externally, the warmth that no other product can match touched my heart.
I drank all the green tea in the bottle on the spot. Even though I didn’t eat, I felt full, as if my stomach was full.
“thank you.”
“Don’t get hurt.”
-Winning doesn’t mean you have to be strong. He is a wonderful person.
‘Because he is a person who has fought alone his whole life. ‘He’s someone I can’t keep up with.’
This is a man who fought for his family his entire life and ultimately sacrificed his life for the family’s swordsmen. I can’t help but respect it.
“Do not worry. “I will win without injury.”
Baek Woo-jin bowed his head with sincerity. Baek Cheonwoong just smiled broadly and nodded.
“See you Lord Soga!”
After receiving Baek Cheon-woong’s send-off, he went to the Battle of Baekwi. Moon Ju-yeong and Mu-yeong-gaek, a medical examiner who was waiting in line, bowed their heads.
There was no expectation in everyone’s eyes as they raised their heads. It was just trust.
-You have built a good relationship with your topic.
‘It’s too much.’
Baek Woo-jin nodded and stepped forward.
“let’s go.”
**
“Whoa….”
Black Sword Master Kang Won-jin let out a shallow sigh and opened the tightly closed door of the training room.
It didn’t open for a while, and a creaking sound followed by a thick darkness appeared.
“See you, matriarch.”
I knelt toward the center of the dark room and bowed my head.
If you didn’t know Baek Cheon-hwa was there from the beginning, his presence was so weak that you wouldn’t even notice.
But the moment his red eyes sparkle. The entire huge training room was filled with thick malice and murder.
“Hmm….”
The force was so terrifying that Kang Won-jin broke into a cold sweat.
“Is it time?”
Baek Cheon-hwa’s mouth, which had been closed tightly as if glue had stuck to it, opened.
“yes.”
“i get it.”
Baek Cheon-hwa slowly closed his eyes and opened them. The bright red eyes sank to black.
Unlike what he showed to Baek Woo-jin, he seemed to be a combination of coldness and ferocity.
“Are you ready?”
“I mastered all three things I learned there perfectly.”
“Congratulations!”
Kang Won-jin hit his head on the floor of the training room.
‘it’s over.’
It is no exaggeration to say that if Baek Tian-hwa obtained all three, he would have reached a new level. The winner of today’s duel has already been decided.
“Are you ready?”
Baek Cheonhwa stood up with a cool smile.
“It’s all over.”
“I’m worried that it will end too easily.”
As he left the training room, an evil energy that seemed to devour the world unfolded behind him.
**
Observers began to arrive on both sides of the main training hall where the duel between Baek Woo-jin and Baek Cheon-hwa would take place.
Because it was a highly anticipated match, the faces of the observers were filled with excitement and anticipation.
“Finally, today has come.”
Baek Yeon-hwi, standing on the podium, looked at the guests and scratched the hair below his ears.
“I thought my father would use a trick to stop this duel.”
Baek Eun-kyung, who was leaning against a pillar, narrowed her eyes.
“I actually tried to stop it. “Woojin just blocked it well.”
“That’s right. “I never thought I would use Daeyeonmunju.”
The two people naturally knew that Baek Cheon-hwa used Kaiser and Daeyeonmunju to kill Baek Woo-jin.
“So who do you think will win?”
Baek Eun-kyung sat down on a chair and looked at the empty training hall.
“Who will win?…”
Baek Yeon-hwi scratched his chin and sighed.
“I hope Woojin wins, but I don’t know what the outcome will be.”
His youngest brother’s growth was beyond what he could understand, but he couldn’t even imagine seeing his father collapse.
“So do i.”
Baek Eun-kyung clenched her chin and closed her eyes.
“The power of these two people is beyond the scope of our predictions. “I don’t know how it may have changed in the meantime.”
Baek Woo-jin and Baek Cheon-hwa established different areas among the absolute. It was meaningless for those far below us to predict the outcome.
“Anyway…”
Baek Yeon-hwi sat down in the chair assigned to her, her eyes shining.
“It would be no exaggeration to say that today’s winner is the best in the world.”
It’s not because he’s from his family. Everyone knew that the winner of this earth-shattering duel would become the best in the world.
“come.”
“hmm?”
Baek Eun-kyung turned her head to the left when she heard Baek Yeon-hwi’s nervous voice. Baek Woo-jin was entering the training hall with the medical sword team.
“You weren’t nervous at all.”
Baek Woo-jin’s steps were full of strength, and his eyes were as unwavering as a midnight lake. It seemed like all expectations and worries had been shaken away.
“I am a bastard, I am a bastard.”
Just seeing the confident steps made me smile. Even though he didn’t fit in with the Baek family, he was the one that suited them best.
“They came over there too.”
“Hmm, that kind of energy already…”
Baek Eun-kyung moaned without realizing it. A completely different vibe from Baek Woo-jin’s serious aura comes over him.
I turned my head to the right. Baek Cheon-hwa, wearing a pure white uniform that did not match his fierce spirit, was entering the training hall.
“My father has changed too.”
Baek Yeon-hwi swallowed dry saliva. If you smiled while looking at Baek Woo-jin, it’s the opposite this time.
‘It’s different from strength…’
The moment Baek Chun-hwa’s bloody energy wave touched me, I felt as if my heart was being squeezed. It feels like a monster oozing the energy of death and destruction is approaching.
“That kind of energy is like a nightmare. “What on earth did you do…”
Baek Eun-kyung clenched her fists. Baek Tian-hwa’s energy wave was so fierce that it felt like he would suffocate if he stayed like this.
“Can we win?”
“….”
In response to Baek Eun-kyung’s question like before, Baek Yeon-hwi looked at Baek Woo-jin.
He is unwavering even in the face of the enormous energy waves unleashed by Baekcheonhwa. He stayed in place like a stone statue with calm eyes.
“I can win.”
Baek Yeon-hwi nodded quietly. Looking at Baek Woo-jin’s calm face, I remembered the guy who destroyed the nightmare ahead.
“Because his specialty is ending nightmares.”
**
Baek Woo-jin stood in the training hall and looked at Baek Cheon-hwa approaching.
The most vicious Cheonryu sword swings from his waist, wearing a white robe with a divine sword drawn on it. The sight of the approaching figure with burning red eyes full of murder was fascinating.
-It’s a scary energy wave. It looks like it’s going to rush at any moment.
‘okay.’
Just as Heukam said, it was so thick that it made the skin tingle.
Coo coo coo coo.
Baek Cheon-hwa stood in front of him, raising his energy waves even more viciously. The air itself was red-hot, as if it were under his control.
“I’ll give you one last chance.”
“opportunity?”
“Stop here and kneel.”
Baek Cheon-hwa held out his hand as if he was benevolent.
“In the end, you are the one who will continue this Shingeombaek family. It is foolish to throw away one’s life just to wait ten years. “I did it for you…”
“That’s not it.”
Baek Woo-jin shook his head resolutely.
“I am here not to become the head of the Shingeombaek family, but to stop my father.”
“Stop me?”
“Singeombaekga uses the name of a family rather than a guild or a sect, but it is a much colder place than a guild or sect. “The bond between prosecutors is close to zero.”
The problem of Shingeombaekga, which I had been thinking about for a while, came to mind without me realizing it.
“In that situation, my father only thought about the family’s honor and expansion. That’s like pouring water into a pot with a hole in it. No matter how much water you pour into it, it will eventually be empty. Because there is no proper source. “This family is like that.”
“Shut up!”
“Even if the family’s swordsmen were killed by criminals or other guilds, my father only thought about what he would gain afterwards. Instead of saving the prosecutors who were in crisis, he only thought about the benefits they would gain from their deaths! “No merchant I know is that shabby!”
Yoo Jin-ah of the black market, who is criticized for doing dirty work, and Seo Gong-myeong, who calls himself a businessman, both cherished their people like their own lives.
Although they were small people compared to the name Baek Cheon-hwa of the Shingeombaekga, they looked much better.
“The Shingeombaek family was that kind of family from the beginning! I just…”
“Then we should change it. The Father has strength and ability. Even though you have the ability to change your wrong path, not doing it is more shameful than not having the ability.”
“You really are…”
A wave of energy that could overwhelm heaven and earth surged from Baek Chun-hwa’s whole body. Grains of sand that covered the training ground rose into the air.
“The family is currently divided in half. Half of those who follow my father and half of those who follow me. “Why do you think this is possible even though the head of the family is alive and well?”
Baek Woo-jin’s entire body showed a magnificent light that could not be inferior to Baek Cheon-hwa’s energy waves. His own will and the work he had accumulated so far became the equivalent of a king and supported him.
“The Baek family is a family where the power of the head of the family is absolute. If my father had led the family properly, no matter what I did, no one would have followed me. “The reason they started following me is because your ways were wrong.”
“Didn’t you use your first and second children to attract people? “If you bring me material things, of course…”
“Why do you think people open their hearts to me? money? honor? Strong martial arts? no. When I was trying to convince them, there was only one thing I said. Let the family be a family!”
I literally poured out the anger that was boiling in my chest.
“I will change this cold and terrible family where family members can only be viewed as competitors! “I just said that I would treat my colleagues as colleagues and become a wall to protect Shiksol!”
“You…”
“I want to change this cold and cold family. “That thought started when I first picked up a sword and has become the driving force behind my growth to this day.”
“So you’re saying you’re going to drink beeju in the end?”
“The answer was decided from the beginning. From the day I picked up my sword again!”
“Raise your sword again?”
Baek Cheon-hwa frowned as if he did not understand.
“It doesn’t matter what. “You were the one who kicked the offer away, so don’t blame me even if you die.”
“Let me also say one last thing.”
Baek Woo-jin extended his right hand towards Baek Cheon-hwa.
“If you give up the duel now, I will see it as cutting off my father’s aura. “What do you think of my final suggestion?”
“under! Hahahaha!”
Baek Cheon-hwa, who gave it in return and received it verbally, burst into laughter. Every time his laughter spread, the air in the training hall shook.
“I will tear you to death.”
A sticky flesh that seemed to raise goosebumps burned on Baek Cheon-hwa’s shoulders.
Kuaaaaang!
A huge shock wave that seemed to sink deep into the floor shook the entire space.
“There will be no need for a starting signal.”
Baek Woo-jin lowered his posture and placed his hand on Seolyeonggeom’s sword.
“Think about how you will die.”
Baek Cheon-hwa rolled up his long sleeves and pulled out his Cheonryu sword.
The two Absolutes looked into each other’s eyes, maintaining a posture that could pierce the other’s heart at any time.
Tuk.
The moment a coffee cup dropped by an observer who was watching hits the floor.
Baek Woo-jin’s Black King Bullet and Baek Cheon-hwa’s Red Stream collided.
