Episode 94 The level is different.
Seo Gong-myeong experienced two shivers running down his spine today.
The first, of course, was when the fire giant appeared.
When the storm of heat that could be felt even in this room trapped Baek Woo-jin, Seo Gong-myeong was unable to do anything as if his head had frozen.
Baek Woo-jin thought that he would die from that fire monster and that he would have to give up this land.
But soon the storm stopped and the fire giant collapsed.
When Baek Woo-jin was seen alive and well under the collapsing flame giant, Seo Gong-myeong sat back with a shiver.
Just thinking about it made me dizzy.
If that fire giant had appeared after the workshop was created, all of Arcane’s proud artisans, their families, and guardians would have died.
Of course, even yourself.
I don’t know if Baek Woo-jin knew it or not, but he became the benefactor of all Arcane Guild members, including himself.
The second time Seo Gong-myeong felt thrilled was when Baek Woo-jin, who had just returned from the battle, presented a red gem to him.
“What is this?”
Seo Gong-myeong’s eyes, looking at Tantaros’ heart, were shaking as if there had been an earthquake, and his hands were shaking.
“Did you see the fire giant that appeared earlier?”
“of course. “If you have eyes, you can’t not see.”
“This is what came out when we caught him.”
Seo Gong-myeong swallowed his saliva and looked at Tantaros’ burning heart.
“Why are you doing this to me…”
“You’re saying something strange.”
Baek Woo-jin tilted his head.
“Isn’t it right to give the items that come out during the process to the client?”
Seo Gong-myeong couldn’t even close his mouth, let alone speak.
That wasn’t enough.
Shock spread across the faces of everyone here, including Baeun-seong and Jeok Gyeong-hoon, who came in together.
If it weren’t for Baek Woo-jin, many people would have been killed by the fire giant.
What he did today was far greater than what everyone else included.
Whether the jewel was a treasure or a new item, Baek Woo-jin took it without saying a word and no one had anything to say, but he was holding out the jewel with calm eyes.
“Huh…”
Seo Gong-myeong looked at Baek Woo-jin as if he was lost.
Although I haven’t lived for a long time, I can confidently say that I have met more people than anyone else.
But I have never seen anyone like Baek Woo-jin.
He was a man more unique than anyone else and more upright than anyone else.
“Haa…”
Seo Gong-myeong closed his eyes once, opened them, and then shook his head.
“I can’t take it. “Take it.”
“yes?”
“Even though we explored this place in advance, we didn’t know that such a monster existed. “It’s terrible to think that the prosecutor was attacked by that guy, and it’s dizzying to think that the father-in-law and the guardians are dead when he shows up later.”
Seo Gong-myeong took off his glasses and bowed his head to Baek Woo-jin.
“I’m just grateful to the prosecutor. “Take it.”
Seo Gong-myeong had never handed over new tools or materials to anyone, but he could not receive that item.
“….”
Baek Woo-jin said nothing and looked at Seo Gong-myeong, who lowered his head.
“All right. “I will take this.”
He nodded slightly and took the jewelry back, and Seo Gong-myeong raised his head.
The two people looked at each other with trust, like close friends.
‘how is it? ‘It’s as I said, right?’
Baek Woo-jin tapped the darkness next to him with his elbow.
-Your greatest strength is neither elemental resistance nor luck. It’s an incredibly accurate sense and an acting ability that goes beyond morning dramas. Damn it….
Darkness stuck out its tongue inwardly.
Baek Woo-jin perfectly predicted this situation and gave Tantaros’ heart to Seo Gong-myeong.
As expected, he took care of the heart of Tantaros and achieved the best result, scoring big points against the Guardians of Arcane, Seo Gong-myeong and Jeok Gyeong-hoon.
‘A morning drama is at least as good as a primetime drama.’
-no. You are a complete idiot. Morning dramas are perfect.
‘Well, whether it’s morning or night isn’t important.’
Baek Woo-jin smiled slightly and looked at Tantaros’ heart.
‘What’s important is that I got Legendary.’
* * *
Moon Joo-young and Seo In-ah were staying on the 7th basement floor, waiting for Baek Woo-jin and Seo Gong-myeong.
Chaang!
The floor opened and Seo Gong-myeong came out from inside.
After that, warriors including Jeok Gyeong-hoon and Baek Woo-jin followed suit.
“young master!”
“Woojin!”
Moon Joo-young and Seo In-ah approached Baek Woo-jin without looking at anyone else.
“Are you okay?”
“There’s a lot of scorching! Are you possibly burned? Shall we call a recovery expert?”
“are you okay. “I just got a little burnt on my clothes.”
When Baek Woo-jin smiled and held out his hand, Seo In-ah breathed a sigh of relief.
“I didn’t know I would end up saying that raising a daughter is useless. “I guess you can’t even see me?”
Seo Gong-myeong shrugged his shoulders while looking at Seo In-ah, whose cheeks were lightly colored.
“When you’re this young lady’s age, it’s natural. “To be honest, I feel a little late.”
Baeun-seong came next to Seo Gong-myeong.
“Is that so?”
“You didn’t really go through puberty, did you? “My daughter is in middle school, and she makes a fuss at my wife to ask her to wash her underwear separately.”
Seo Gong-myeong chuckled at Bae Han-seong’s joke.
‘what?’
Moon Joo-young felt a strange atmosphere.
All the people who came up from the underground were paying attention to Baek Woo-jin.
It was not a negative emotion like competition or jealousy, but a positive emotion like wonder and admiration.
Even before going underground, the Guardians of Arcane had a good opinion of Baek Woo-jin, but not to the same extent as now.
I wondered what happened inside.
“I…”
“Junior.”
When Moon Joo-young tried to talk to Baek Woo-jin, Jeok Kyeong-hoon approached her with a smiling face.
“I lost the bet without even looking at it.”
“uh?”
“A bet? “Did you place a bet?”
Seo In-ah’s head turned at Jeok Gyeong-hoon’s words.
“I made a bet with that friend to see who could catch more monsters.”
“Are you sure?”
“okay. I lost big. “What a friend.”
Jeok Gyeong-hoon shook his head and sighed.
Contrary to his words, there was no trace of resentment on his face.
This was because I was truly impressed by Baek Woo-jin’s actions and propensity for force.
“Master Do. “What on earth happened down there?”
Moon Joo-young and Seo In-ah had their eyes wide open as if they had heard something unbelievable.
“I was lucky. “I got the boss.”
“Boss Bo?”
“Huh, that’s not it. “No one would call that luck.”
Jeok Gyeong-hoon burst out laughing.
He was such a ridiculous guy that he got so lucky after defeating the monster of monsters.
“Anyway, if you lose, you lose. What are your orders to the loser? “Winner?”
“I’ll save it for now. “You can’t use good cards carelessly.”
“Junior. “If you don’t save it, it becomes shit.”
“it’s okay. “I’m going to use it before it turns into shit.”
Jeok Gyeong-hoon raised his hands and sighed.
“He’s a difficult junior to deal with in many ways.”
* * *
“Yeonhwa.”
As soon as Jeok Gyeong-hun returned to his family, he went to visit Jeok Yeon-hwa at the training center.
“You asked me to train first, but where did you go?”
“sorry. sorry.”
Jeok Gyeong-hoon put his hands together and smiled embarrassedly.
“If you make three promises, you don’t keep the first one. This is already the 4th time this year alone…”
“I came to see your boyfriend.”
“uh?”
Jeok Yeon-hwa dropped the water bottle she was holding.
Her hands were shaking, unable to properly hold the water bottle that was soaking the floor.
“What is that!”
“I came to meet Baek Woo-jin.”
“Oh why are you meeting that person?”
“We didn’t meet on purpose, we met because of a mission. But…”
Jeok Gyeong-hoon grinned as he looked at Jeok Yeon-hwa swallowing dry saliva.
“It’s better than I thought.”
“what?”
“He’s a pretty good guy. Skills and personality. “He’s different from the Baek family swordsmen I know.”
Jeok Kyeong-hoon was describing Baek Woo-jin as he saw it.
“Uh…”
Jeok Yeon-hwa held her breath and only looked at Jeok Gyeong-hoon’s mouth.
Her older brother, Jeok Gyeong-hoon, is not a person who easily praises others.
If he praised Baek Woo-jin like that, it meant that he really liked Baek Woo-jin.
“What on earth happened?”
“I can’t tell you because it’s a secret mission. “For one thing, I lost to him.”
“No way, even if it’s a sparring match…”
“No, I made a bet to catch a monster, but I lost, so I have to grant my wish. “Same as you.”
Jeok Gyeong-hoon smiled brightly, as if he had no regrets about betting.
“Oh you lost? “Didn’t you look at it?”
“Who am I to look out for?”
“That’s not right….”
Jeok Yeon-hwa shook her head.
Jeok Gyeong-hoon is a person who does not even care about himself as his younger brother.
There is no way I will lose to Baek Woo-jin on purpose.
“Anyway, I agree. “It’s okay for a guy like that.”
“what?”
“I agree with you two meeting up. I wanted to win and take you on a date, but it’s too bad…”
“Oh, that’s it!”
Jeok Yeon-hwa left the training hall with a blushing face.
“Ha…”
Jeok Gyeong-hoon smiled slightly as he looked at that scene.
“Why would you be so embarrassed and then get taken away?”
* * *
-I say this to you every time, but I was really lucky this time.
The voice of darkness was much heavier than usual.
-Wake up Tantalus and catch him.
If it wasn’t Baek Woo-jin who was in front of Tantaros, no one there would have survived.
Baeun-seong or Jeok Gyeong-hoon may have been able to temporarily defeat Tantaros, but they would not have been able to destroy the three cores at once, so they would have ended up being swept away in a huge explosion and lost their lives.
-You need to be more careful. Even if the system and the goddess of luck are watching over you.
“sorry!”
Baek Woo-jin bowed his head to Heuk-am.
As he said, if Tantaros had not been a fire attribute or if Darkness had not known the strategy, he would have suffered great damage.
“But what did you mean when you said I had talent?”
-Do you remember the first time you met me?
“I can’t forget it.”
-At that time, you said that you had no talent. And I told you…
“I said it would help you develop your talents.”
When we first met, Heukam told us that he had the power to develop our talents and told us to accept him.
-Now your talent has grown to the point where it is visible.
The aura of darkness shimmered like starlight.
-From now on, the swordsmanship and martial arts that are implemented in your head will be able to be practiced in reality. Just like the sword that was thrown at Tantaros.
“I feel different about my body these days, too.”
Baek Woo-jin clenched his fists at the words of darkness.
Certainly, the more I practice these days, the more I see and realize more, so every day is both enjoyable and a waste.
-Now eat the heart of Tantaros. If you leave it for a long time, it will lose energy.
Baek Woo-jin took out the heart of Tantaros.
[Heart of Tantaros]
This is a circular heart that can only be obtained when Tantaros is completely defeated. When absorbed as a collection of magic engineering, fire attribute resistance and sensitivity increase significantly.
Grade: Legendary.
“You’re just eating it, right? It’s a bit bizarre…”
-Chew and swallow. It may look hard, but it will flow like water when you put it in your mouth.
“Hmm…”
Baek Woo-jin looked at Tantaros’ heart and then snapped his fingers.
Ignis appeared on his shoulder.
“Kao!”
Ignis looked around and whined, asking why he called me when there were no snacks.
“There are no snacks, so eat these.”
Baek Woo-jin gave Ignis half of Tantaros’ heart.
-What are you….
“This is right.”
As you become stronger, Ignis becomes stronger, and as Ignis grows, you also grow.
In addition, Ignis even has the ability to eat.
The best way to use the Heart of Tantaros is to fight against Ignis.
“Sniff!”
Ignis looked blankly at Tantaros’ heart, then swallowed it in one gulp and sat down.
A hot energy began to rise from the guy’s body.
“it’s okay.”
Baek Woo-jin put the other half into his mouth.
As soon as the heart entered my mouth, it turned into water and passed lightly down my throat.
I began to feel a burning sensation in my heart that had passed through my esophagus.
The heat did not simply stay above, but ran wild all over Baek Woo-jin’s body as if it were his own home.
‘This is light.’
Perhaps it was because of his resistance to fire properties or the aura of Lasadum, but he did not feel much pain even though lava-like heat burned throughout his body.
‘Huuuk…’
Baek Woo-jin breathed slowly and began to control the heat and build it up in his Danjeon.
When Baek Woo-jin, who had absorbed all the heat, opened his eyes, he made eye contact with Ignis, who was looking at him.
“Kaung!”
Ignis’ horns became redder, and the color of the fire burning in his eyes became darker.
Above all, his fiery energy had increased significantly.
Ding!
[Ignis’s vessel has been expanded.]
[Ignis has imprinted you as his true master.]
[The attribute Intimidation is created in Ignis.]
Ding!
[Fire property sensitivity has increased by 20 points.]
[Fire property resistance has increased by 25 points.]
[Special skill Dark Fire Sword type is created.]

Late evening a month later.
Moon Ju-young entered Geomgak with a mission given to Baek Woo-jin.
Good luck!
As soon as he entered the inspection, Moon Ju-young could not believe his eyes.
This is because bright red flames flashed from Baek Woo-jin’s hand, which was showing his back.
‘flame? But I’ve never seen that color before.’
I’ve seen Baek Woo-jin use an attribute sword, but I’ve never seen him create fire in his hands.
Additionally, the flames and colors he usually used were different.
“Master Do. What is that spark just now? Just like a wizard…”
“It’s not magic, it’s the application of swordsmanship. “I’m practicing right now, so I’ll show you later.”
Baek Woo-jin shook his hands as if it was no big deal, and the flames died down.
“Did that come to me?”
“Oh yeah. “It’s a mission statement.”
Moon Ju-young handed Baek Woo-jin the mission sheet with a puzzled expression.
“The crack occurrence point was predicted. The time and place of occurrence is Myeongdong at midnight tomorrow and the mana response is level 4.
“If it’s level 4, it won’t be difficult… huh?”
Baek Woo-jin’s eyes, who were reading the document while listening to Moon Ju-young’s words, shook violently.
‘This place…’
