Episode 57 With a new sword,
“Hmph.”
Seong Si-hoon looked at Baek Woo-jin and snorted.
Saving the hostages was unexpected, but it doesn’t change the fact that Baek Woo-jin dies here.
A wall of flames like that cannot stop him and the Ironclads.
“There is no need to be afraid of clumsy magic! “Tear him apart!”
“yes!”
Seong Si-hoon ran forward while manipulating his gauntlet, and 24 armored men followed behind him.
I was planning on breaking through the wall of fire and killing Baek Woo-jin.
“uh…?”
Seong Si-hoon, who looked like he was going to break the wall of fire at any moment, stopped in front of the wall of flames as if possessed by a ghost.
He trembled, his face turning white.
“What on earth is in there…”
The wall of fire created by Baek Woo-jin was not the problem.
An enormous presence was felt within the wall of flames.
“Ugh….”
“Ah….”
The Ironclad also couldn’t move his body, just shaking.
It felt like if they lifted their finger, something in the flames would come out and devour them.
Grumble!
A shimmering blue eye glowed within the wall of fire.
An eerie murderous spirit flowed from the diamond-shaped eyes.
“Huh…”
The moment they looked into the eyes of that being, both the Ironclad and Seong Si-Hoon forgot their words.
The mountain-like presence and the heat scorching the air seemed to take my breath away.
Coo coo coo coo.
The wall of fire tore apart and the dragon’s head rose up.
It was the Flame Dragon that first appeared to the enemy.
“Ugh….”
Seong Si-hoon let out a scream without realizing it.
The moment I saw the flaming dragon burning in flames, all I could think was that I had to run away.
“This can’t be done!” Everyone unpacks and runs away….”
“It’s already too late.”
The flame dragon’s mouth opened at Baek Woo-jin’s gesture.
Quaaaaa!
Blood-red flames poured out of the Flame Dragon’s mouth.
“Aaaah!”
“Kwaaaak!”
The red flames burned Seong Si-hoon and the Ironclad Team who were trying to escape.
They couldn’t even scream properly and melted into the flames.
Absolutely!
Hongyeom shattered the aura of Pageomjin and even burned the armored corps outside.
“iced coffee!”
“Kwaaaak!”
“Save me…”
The Ironclads near the Pageomjin died in the flames, and the Ironclads who were running away were killed by Jin’s wind blade.
-Is it because it’s your first real fight? That guy’s firepower exceeds expectations.
‘okay. ‘I’m glad I wrote it while I was locked up.’
The Flame Dragon’s flames had stronger heat and fire power than when training.
If the auror of Pageomjin had not stopped it, the entire place would have become a sea of fire.
‘My head is pounding…’
My head was pounding like it did when I used all my auras.
-You lack spirit power. Send the spirits back.
‘I should do that.’
Baek Woo-jin petted the flame dragon and Jin and then sent them back to the spirit world.
The elemental power was not yet mature enough to deal with them.
“Huh…”
Jeong Geun-ho sat down on the floor in a cold sweat.
No matter how much I looked at that guy’s dragon head, I couldn’t get used to it.
Every time I see it, sweat runs down my spine.
‘Plus, today’s flames are even more…’
I’ve seen Baek Woo-jin handle the Flame Dragon a few times, but this was the first time it was as powerful as it was today.
My confidence had recently increased since I had summoned a mid-level spirit, but when I saw that dragon, my confidence began to sink again.
“Jeong Geun-ho.”
“Yes!”
Jeong Geun-ho jumped up at Baek Woo-jin’s call.
“Don’t talk about the Flame Dragon.”
“uh? “Hide it?”
“okay. After all, the only people who know are you and the elder. “If you don’t say anything, no one will know.”
“Will that work? I also saw the hostages…”
“Those people couldn’t see inside because of the aura that was flowing during the inspection, and people watching from other places couldn’t see clearly because of the smoke. “If I say I’m a mid-level fire spirit, they’ll understand.”
Baek Woo-jin already had no intention of telling people about Flame Dragon.
I summoned it here because I was confident that it wouldn’t get caught.
“Oh, I understand.”
Jeong Geun-ho nodded quickly as if he understood.
-There was a reason why only the Flame Dragon’s head was summoned and smoke was created to block the view.
‘okay. I can’t reveal all my secret weapons.’
Just being able to summon wind and fire spirits is enough to raise awareness.
The presence of the Flame Dragon hidden now will be of great help later.
“Because the only people who know that I use Flame Dragon are you and the old man. “The moment my information gets lost, I come looking for you.”
“Oh no! I have a heavy mouth! Really. “I’ll keep my mouth shut for the rest of my life!”
Jeong Geun-ho waved his hands with a frightened expression.
The cocky expression I had when I first saw him was nowhere to be seen.
-Do you think you’re becoming a real jerk?
**
“Sorry! “I should have known in advance…”
Moon Joo-young lowered her head as if she was going to hit the ground.
“How did you notice Zenon’s attack?”
“But I am very inadequate as the master’s bodyguard…”
“It’s okay because not a single hair was hurt. “I’m tired of apologizing, so stop now.”
Baek Woo-jin waved his hand as if to say no more and entered the cafe he had previously come to.
“You’re here.”
Yoo Jin-ah, head of the Seongnam branch of Black Market, stood up and approached Baek Woo-jin.
“Are you feeling okay?”
As the news spread that Baek Woo-jin and the Ironclads clashed, Yoo Jin-ah looked worried.
“no problem.”
“sorry. Because the Ironclads and Seong Si-hoon showed up on a transmission line, we couldn’t figure it out either. And the Chuncheon branch did not disclose any information…”
“What do you mean by not disclosing information?”
“The Chuncheon branch may not have known about the Ironclads, but they probably knew that Zeno’s informant was in Yanggu. “I didn’t tell you the news.”
“Hmm….”
Since the advantage and disadvantage of the black market is that anyone can use it, I thought that there might be some connection between the Chuncheon branch and Zenon.
“I will definitely investigate and let you know. Do not worry.”
Yoo Jin-ah said she would investigate the Chuncheon branch to see if she knew what Baek Woo-jin was thinking.
“Then I am grateful.”
“no. “I’m sorry for suggesting an alliance and not even being able to figure this out.”
“Never mind.”
Baek Woo-jin waved his hand.
It is rather surprising that Yu Jin-ah in Seongnam notices Zeno’s fighters who suddenly appear from Yanggu and warns them.
“But…”
“Yes.”
“Are you really going to summon two intermediate spirits?”
“I was lucky.”
“Ah…”
Eugene’s eyes shook violently.
It’s been less than half a year since I learned elemental arts, and I thought it was amazing that I could summon and manipulate the mid-level spirits of wind and fire, which were the best for attacks.
As Moon Ju-young said, Baek Woo-jin was a person born with heavenly talent.
-This woman will faint when she finds out you can summon a flame dragon.
‘That might really be the case.’
Not only Eugene, but other people will also turn a blind eye to seeing the Flame Dragon summoned.
“It’s also thanks to the market’s information. “It really helped me a lot.”
“Thank you so much for saying that. However, as I said before, I can’t raise my head.”
“Then we will talk about the alliance again when Jin-ah brings me the good information I need. how is it?”
“great!”
Yujinah answered, clenching her fists.
-Oh really.
‘I told you so. People like Eugene have strong pride. I will consider this a debt, get the information I need, and propose an alliance again.’
Baek Woo-jin had been predicting this situation ever since he went to meet Yoo Jin-ah.
-He’s like a ghost.
Darkness stuck out its tongue.
Baek Woo-jin pretends to be polite and humble and takes care of everything that matters.
This is the truly scary guy.
“I have a request.”
“yes. Please speak.”
Baek Woo-jin took out a sword and a sword from the darkness’s inventory.
These are unique weapons that were received as bets in the Gargoyle Dungeon.
“These….”
“Please auction these off.”
Baek Woo-jin pushed the weapons towards Yu Jin-ah.
“Yes?”
Yoo Jin-ah, startled, jumped up.
She looked at Baek Woo-jin and Mugi with a blue face.
“These are the weapons of the hero Phoenix Gwangdomun.”
“yes.”
“If you put this up for auction, it’s no different from making enemies of those guilds.”
“Even if I have it, it still doesn’t change that I am an enemy to them. “If you are an enemy one way or another, it is a hundred times better to sell the things you don’t need and buy something else.”
“Ah…”
Yoo Jin-ah completely froze at Baek Woo-jin’s words.
The bowl of the 16-year-old prosecutor in front of him was much bigger than he had thought.
I thought that I could never lose sight of Baek Woo-jin.
“Oh, I understand. I’ll put it up for auction. “We will send you a notice later on the auction date.”
“thank you.”
“And…”
Yoo Jin-ah looked at Baek Woo-jin with more sincerity than ever.
“I will do my best to obtain the necessary information for the prosecutor.”
**
As soon as Baek Woo-jin returned to Shingeombaekga, he was immediately summoned to Gajujeon.
“….”
Baek Tian-hwa said nothing and just looked down at Baek Woo-jin.
-Aren’t they going to kill you like that?
‘If you don’t answer well, you will be severely punished, even if you are not killed.’
-Then what are you planning to do?
‘are you okay. ‘Everyone has an idea.’
Baek Woo-jin did not fight with the spirit without thinking. I had expected to be caught by Baek Cheon-hwa from the beginning.
“I thought you went there to practice swordsmanship, but are you a spirit?”
A voice so cold that it gave goosebumps came out of Baek Cheon-hwa’s mouth.
Just hearing it made the hairs on my whole body stand up.
“You are a swordsman, so why did you learn elemental arts?”
Baek Cheon-hwa’s voice contained anger.
If you don’t speak properly here, you will be severely punished.
“Answer me.”
“It’s because of the sword.”
Unlike Baek Cheon-hwa, Baek Woo-jin answered slowly and calmly.
“Did you just say it was a sword?”
“yes.”
Baek Woo-jin raised his head and made eye contact with Baek Cheon-hwa, who was filled with anger.
“I learned elemental arts to become a stronger swordsman.”
“Are you saying that as an excuse?”
Baek Cheon-hwa’s momentum flowed out like a torrent of water.
It felt like what he had shown before was a joke, and his attitude was so cruel and subversive.
It was difficult to even open my mouth, let alone move.
“It’s true.”
Baek Woo-jin accepted the momentum and looked at Baek Cheon-hwa with unwavering eyes.
“Hmm…”
Baek Cheon-hwa’s spirit sank a little at Baek Woo-jin’s unchanging, calm gaze.
‘It’s definitely changed.’
Baek Woo-jin’s aura and momentum were clearly stronger than before.
I thought it would be okay to just listen to the story.
“Tell me.”
“May I draw my sword?”
“Unsheath your sword?”
“I want to show you why I learned elemental arts.”
“Are you going to show it right in front of me?”
“That’s right.”
“good night.”
“thank you.”
Baek Woo-jin stood up and pulled out his sword.
He aimed the freezing cold blade at Baek Cheon-hwa.
Coo coo coo coo.
Aura erupted from Baek Woo-jin’s whole body like a volcano exploding.
The rising aura gently enveloped the dark sword.
Grumble!
As Baek Cheon-hwa frowned, a red energy began to cover the Dark Sword.
Baek Woo-jin took the Flame Dragon’s flame and filled it with Gwanilgeuk.
“That’s…”
Baek Cheon-hwa’s eyes were full of admiration.
He realized what was covering Baek Woo-jin’s sword.
“I will go.”
Baek Woo-jin thrust his sword into Baek Cheon-hwa who was far away.
The black aura that covered his sword and the red flames harmonized and flew like a flying dragon towards Baek Tian-hwa.
Quaaaaa!
With a sword combining Lasadum’s aura and fire elemental power, Gwanilgeuk flew as if it could pierce Baekcheonhwa, but then disappeared like a mirage.
Baek Woo-jin has lost his power.
“….”
Baek Tian-hwa looked down at Baek Woo-jin without saying anything.
“Were you trying to learn the attribute sword?”
“That’s right.”
“Wouldn’t it have been possible if I hadn’t learned elemental magic for the attribute sword?”
“I wanted to learn an attribute sword that goes beyond the ordinary. As you saw earlier, when aura and spirit power are mixed, it can exert greater power and characteristics than a simple attribute sword.”
“Khahahaha!”
Baek Cheon-hwa burst into laughter to the point that the family hall rang.
He laughed so hard that it made him feel refreshed, and then the corners of his mouth curled up.
‘That guy is really…’
The attribute sword is also an attribute sword, but I never thought that he would swing it at me.
But I actually liked that cocky look.
The youngest child was growing to like himself.
“Now that I’ve actually seen it, I can’t help but believe you.”
“thank you.”
“Are the spirits capable of summoning even mid-level spirits of fire and wind?”
“That’s right.”
Baek Cheon-hwa looked at Baek Woo-jin to see if what he said was true, but there was no change in his face.
“I will call you soon, so go today.”
“yes.”
Baek Woo-jin bowed his head deeply and left the Gaju battle.
-Do you really have one or three lives? You stabbed your father there? I thought he was really crazy!
‘I thought my heart was dropping too.’
Baek Woo-jin put his hand on his left chest and joked.
I didn’t think Baek Cheon-hwa would be that angry, but I couldn’t help but feel nervous.
‘But one day…’
One day, the day will come when I will really point my sword at my father and fight.
For that day, we must train even harder.
‘It’ll get busier from now on.’
-Why don’t you just play? Anyway, the face-based system and the Goddess of Luck will shower you with grace. Use your legendary luck to get rid of them all.
‘How long will that goddamn goddess of luck
keep sounding like… Just as Baek Woo-jin was about to argue with Heuk-am, a beep rang.
Ding!
