Episode 38 The plate is set (4)
“That disease is a recovery medicine!”
“that’s right. “Recovery medicine.”
The bottle Baek Woo-jin was holding was a recovery medicine. A high-quality recovery potion imbued with holy water.
“How can a gargoyle in a healing potion…”
“Didn’t you notice anything strange when you hit the statue earlier?”
“yes?”
Moon Joo-young shook her head with an expression of complete ignorance.
“Then see for yourself.”
Baek Woo-jin took Moon Ju-young and moved to a place where there was another stone statue.
“Sparks fly whether you hit a regular statue or a gargoyle statue. But when you hit the gargoyle statue, slightly black sparks fly out.”
Baek Woo-jin gave an explanation and hit the stone statue in front of him.
Okay!
The moment the sword and the statue collided, a very small spark flew out.
“This is an ordinary spark, so it’s real.”
Whoops!
Small sparks also flew from the second stone statue. However, the color of the sparks had a very thin black tint. It was a difference that was difficult to understand unless you knew about it.
“Did you see it? These black sparks mean that the gargoyle statue is imbued with evil properties. So, I tried using the power of the holy water contained in this recovery medicine.”
“Ah…”
Moon Joo-young was dumbfounded and kept her mouth open. To come up with a solution using the difference in that small spark is not a matter of great observation. It was crazy.
I admire Baek Woo-jin every time, but this one was especially surprising.
“Do you understand now?”
Baek Woo-jin applied healing medicine to his sword and cut down the gargoyle statue in one go.
“Ah yes!”
Moon Joo-young tapped her cheek as if to come to her senses and took the gargoyle’s magic stone.
-You really can become an actor. You are the best at acting like you know everything but pretend not to know.
‘After deceiving Jeong Hyeong-woon, your acting got really good?’
-It’s not a compliment…
‘Haha!’
Baek Woo-jin’s face lit up because things were going as planned.
-Do you think the guys who bet on you will get through this maze with their own strength?
‘no. at all.’
-also.
‘I’m sure all three of them are running happily with their escorts in front of them.’
Even without looking, I could predict how they would move. Except for Jeok Yeon-hwa, everyone will be relying on the power of escorts.
-Then doesn’t he reach the boss faster than you?
‘It’s unlikely, but it doesn’t matter if it happens.’
-what?
‘I told you. This dungeon is broken.’
-okay.
‘The biggest reason for the break is not the gargoyles and the dungeon maze. That’s because the boss here is picky and smart.’
After the dungeon broke down in my past life, a lot of people suffered damage. Most of the damage was caused by the gargoyle boss.
-Are you saying you can’t beat the boss at their level?
‘okay. And the most important thing is that we get there as quickly as possible.’
**
Tak.
After passing through the bright gate, a garden with an open sky appeared. On the platform in the garden, the boss of this dungeon, Flame Gargoyle, was spreading his huge wings.
‘Isn’t there anyone? ‘I told you I was the fastest.’
-It’s a shame. I wanted to see you hit the ground and regret it.
‘That will never happen again.’
Even though Baek Woo-jin started last and hunted all the nearby monsters, he was the first to reach the boss. It was the power of preparation.
“young master. The gargoyle is no longer in a gargoyle state. Be careful!”
“okay.”
The Flame Gargoyle had two red horns on its head and its skin was stained red.
Its size and wings were twice as large as that of a regular gargoyle, making me swallow dry saliva just by looking at it.
“Krrr….”
Flame Gargoyle rolled its diamond-shaped eyes and glared at Baek Woo-jin and Moon Ju-young.
“I will catch you, so don’t come forward.”
“Be careful. “He must have special abilities.”
Baek Woo-jin nodded and slowly approached the Flame Gargoyle.
-It was a flame gargoyle.
‘As expected, I know.’
-Flame Gargoyles are much faster and have higher defense than regular Gargoyles. Unlike gargoyles that use fingernails and claws, they can emit flame breath from their mouths.
‘I know.’
-What’s really important is his learning ability. Attacks you see once don’t work well. It must be finished at once.
‘I know that too.’
Even though Flame Gargoyle is the boss of a level 3 dungeon, he is the one who killed level 4 and 5 abilities. It’s best to kill it before it gets used to the sword.
[Rasadum’s auror characteristic ‘black wind’ is activated.]
Baek Woo-jin activated the black wind and grabbed the handle of the sword.
“Krrrrr….”
Flame Gargoyle’s eyes continued to follow the direction Baek Woojin was moving.
widely.
The moment a piece of stone fell on the platform where the Flame Gargoyle was standing, Baek Woo-jin’s foot flew out.
Paaang!
Baek Woo-jin runs like a beam of light. I swung my sword at the Flame Gargoyle.
Sigh!
The swordsmanship flashed, but there was no feeling of being cut. This is because the Flame Gargoyle spread its huge wings and soared into the sky.
‘also!’
Baek Woo-jin was not embarrassed. As if he knew this would happen, he stepped on the platform and exploded the auras he had gathered on his legs.
Kwaaaaang!
The platform collapsed and Baek Woo-jin’s body soared into the sky like a soaring hawk.
“Keaaaaaaa!”
Flame Gargoyle was surprised to see Baek Woo-jin leap and climbed higher into the sky.
“shit!”
Baek Woo-jin’s leap was enormous, but he could not catch up with the winged gargoyle.
“Kiik!”
Flame Gargoyle laughed at Baek Woo-jin, who was about to fall, and spouted flames from his mouth. Flame Gargoyle’s characteristic is flame breath.
‘now!’
As the gargoyle approached with its mouth open, Baek Woo-jin’s eyes glowed blue. He thought the best moment to catch the gargoyle was now.
Hahaha!
The aura in the Danjeon was sucked in like crazy and covered the Hwiyeongeom. A black brain energy that seemed as if it could fry space itself landed on the blade.
‘Bright Island.’
Baek Woo-jin swung a sword filled with brain energy towards the flame breath pouring at him. Finally, it is Birae Island where the first island begins.
Absolutely!
The lightning strike is not simply a powerful horizontal cut, but a long-distance sword that blows the brain energy carried on the blade. The lightning island cut through the flames and rushed towards the gargoyle’s neck at even faster speed.
Sigh!
The rushing flames were torn apart, revealing the Flame Gargoyle with its eyes wide in confusion. Gargoyle couldn’t believe what was happening to him just now.
“Kiaaaaaaa!”
The gargoyle wrapped its body with steel-like wings. But that was the worst choice.
Squeeze!
Lightning Island’s sword tore off the Flame Gargoyle’s wings and cut off its neck in one go.
“Kiiiii….”
The Flame Gargoyle, whose neck and body were separated, lost its strength and fell to the ground faster than Baek Woo-jin.
Kwaaaaang!
The Flame Gargoyle announced its death by leaving a huge mark on the ground.
Phew.
In his previous life, Baek Woo-jin took out the Flame Gargoyle, which had caused hundreds of casualties and eaten dozens of talented people, in less than 10 seconds.
Tuk-tuk.
He put out the fire on his body with his hand as if it was no big deal.
-Isn’t it hot?
‘It’s at the stove level. ‘It’s warm’
– Your attribute resistance is at an insane level, and you’re even wearing an anti-magic combat uniform. There’s no way it would work.
When Baek Woo-jin came here, he rented a combat uniform that was resistant to magic. Thanks to this, there was no pain even in the gargoyle’s flames. All I could do was blush slightly.
-Anyway, good job. It was perfect.
‘Why are you praising me without saying anything?’
-What I hate is when you rely on luck! Say you did a good job.
‘Why do you hate luck? I don’t get it.’
“young master! Are you okay?”
Moon Joo-young hurriedly came running, holding a recovery medicine in his hand.
“The Gargoyle’s flame….”
“I’m okay thanks to this combat uniform.”
“uh?”
Moon Joo-young was dumbfounded when she saw Baek Woo-jin smiling. He was clearly engulfed in flames. Even if he was wearing a combat uniform, there would be pain, but Baek Woo-jin was calm as if nothing was wrong.
I couldn’t tell if I was enduring the pain or if it really didn’t hurt.
Coo coo coo coo!
The dungeon began to shake. This means that the dungeon raid is over. Now that the maze is gone, you will be able to go straight to the exit.
‘Appraiser?’
-…
Baek Woo-jin picked up the ring that had fallen next to the frame gargoyle and held it out to Heuk-am. Darkness said nothing and prepared his emotions.
[Flame Gargoyle’s Ring]
A ring that contains the characteristics of a Flame Gargoyle. Increases fire resistance and sensitivity.
Grade: Rare.
Wearable conditions: None.
Fire attribute sensitivity +5
Fire attribute resistance +10
‘Ah, it’s rare again.’
-Rare again? To Rae’s again?
‘What’s wrong?’
-It’s not like bosses always give rares, so why complain about someone who always gets rare or higher?
‘It’s better to be unique.’
The guy who recently got Unique and Legendary among the three rewards wants Unique again? Have you lost your conscience?
‘It could be so. Wow…’
**
Song Ji-hoon, Seo Jin-hwan and Kang-hoon arrived at the boss’s garden around the same time.
“Ah…”
“Oh my…”
The first scene they saw after arriving was Baek Woo-jin cutting off the head of a huge gargoyle with a sword.
“omg!”
Seeing that, Song Ji-hoon dropped the sword he was holding.
A horizontal cut that reached perfection. A black aura with extreme destructive power. I was confused by the precise and clean use of the sword technique.
I wanted to dig up the family register of the Baek family to see if she was really 16 years old.
Coooooo!
Song Ji-hoon thought that the sound of the severed gargoyle falling to the ground was like the sound of his own heart sinking.
I had no idea how to resolve this situation.
“Ugh!”
“Hmm…”
Baek Woo-jin took out the gargoyle’s magic stone and walked to the place where the three people were standing.
He and his escort looked at the three people once in a while and walked outside without saying a word.
“shit!”
Song Ji-hoon shook his fist. Because I personally saw Baek Woo-jin catch the boss, I couldn’t do anything.
If I was alone, I could have made a surprise attack, but since there were other guilds here, it was impossible.
Quagwagwagwang!
Song Ji-hoon drew out his sword and began to raid the surroundings. The walls and floor exploded as if hit by a cannonball.
“Haha, I’m glad.”
Seo Jin-hwan watched the scene and sighed lightly.
“It ended without me even seeing the boss, so what’s the good news? “Are you out of your mind?”
Kang Hoon looked at Seo Jin Hwan and chuckled.
“It doesn’t look like Baek Woo-jin has any intention of taking our weapons.”
“Ah, that bet…”
“Well, no matter how much of a bet it is, taking away the weapon is really bad. Because I have still gained a lot. “It seems like they just let it go.”
Seo Jin-hwan convinced himself and headed toward the exit.
**
“Hmm…”
Jeok Yeon-hwa was the first to come out as soon as the dungeon was conquered. About 10 minutes after she came out, Baek Woo-jin appeared.
“miss. “I don’t think he caught the boss.”
“Hmm…”
Jeok Yeon-hwa frowned. The leisurely smile on Baek Woo-jin’s face disappeared, and the sword he was holding in his hand was no longer visible. It felt like I lost a bet and had my weapon taken away.
“So, I told you to go quickly… Ugh!”
When I thought that Baek Woo-jin had lost, I started to get angry, although I don’t know why. I even felt like something had been taken away from me.
Baek Woo-jin stopped halfway and looked at the dungeon without even paying attention to Jeok Yeon-hwa, who was glaring at him.
Chiiing.
After a while, talented people from other large guilds came out at the same time. In an instant, the entrance became busy.
“huh?”
Jeok Yeon-hwa tilted her head. This is because Song Ji-hoon, Seo Jin-hwan, and Kang Hoon were all holding weapons.
“what? How did this happen?…”
When Jeok Yeon-hwa looked back at Baek Woo-jin, he smiled his first relaxed smile and approached the talented people of the large guild.
“I will accept the wager. “You three, hand over the weapons you are holding.”
“uh?”
“Ah….”
Everyone, Song Ji-hoon, Seo Jin-hwan, and Kang-hoon, were shocked and lost their minds. It’s an expression on his face that he never imagined would ask for a weapon here.
-He’s like a devil…
‘What?’
-In order to more dramatically spread the rumor that you have captured the boss, you are asking for the weapon here instead of taking it from inside. You are a really great guy too.
‘There’s that, and all of those weapons are unique. ‘I told them to deliver it safely.’
-Huh, you really…
He stuck out his tongue as if he was sick of the darkness.
“What does that mean? Why is Baek Woo-jin asking for a weapon?”
“Well?”
“I made a bet in the dungeon earlier. Those guilds…”
Those with abilities who had been to the dungeon explained the situation to the people.
“crazy!”
“Then the youngest Baek Woo-jin over there is the boss? “It really turned!”
“Even if those guilds have grown a lot, doesn’t that mean they can’t catch the Shingeombaekga?”
“A true genius has appeared in the Baek family. “It wasn’t a lie that we caught a level 5 criminal.”
No other guilds came into the eyes of the onlookers. Attention was focused on Baek Woo-jin, who proudly held out his hand in front of a large guild.
“Wasn’t it okay to just let it go?”
“That’s right. I’m sure…”
“I never said that?”
“Ugh….”
“This guy….”
“Prospective players from prominent guilds won’t lie, right?”
Baek Woo-jin waved his palm as if to quickly hand over his weapon.
“Give it to me.”
-It’s like a scene where a neighborhood gangster is ripping off kids…
