Episode 96. The level is different. (3)
While all the abilities were waiting for the crack to open, Baek Woo-jin was looking at the newly appeared hologram window.
[An unexpected quest has arrived.]
Prove the power you have accumulated.
Condition: Defeat the Minotaur using swordsmanship without anyone’s help.
Reward: 1000 point surprise reward.
-Without anyone’s help?
‘It probably means that I shouldn’t listen to your advice and catch it on my own.’
-Hmm…
‘Well, I’ve gotten a lot of help these days.’
When catching demons in Jeju Island, I received help from Circon’s Holy Spirit Bracelet and Darkness, and in the basement of Arcane, I heard from Darkness how to attack Tantaros.
I didn’t solve the recent incidents alone; I received a lot of help.
‘Don’t say a word from now on.’
-Then it’s good for me. I’ll pop some popcorn and watch.
The darkness climbed on top of Baek Woo-jin’s head, sighing.
‘It’s time to use the points I’ve accumulated.’
Baek Woo-jin brought up the status window.

Heukam clicked his tongue when he saw the remaining points.
-Are you a hamster or a squirrel? I’ve collected a lot.
‘Because I didn’t have anything to write about.’
Baek Woo-jin used 3,600 points to increase his physical swordsmanship, mana, and stamina abilities by 3 each.
“Ah…”
Because it was my first time using so many points at once, I felt a moment of dizzying euphoria.
At this moment, I felt like I could accomplish anything.
-It is most dangerous when you become strong. You can’t be conceited.
‘I’ll keep that in mind. But isn’t it okay to give advice?
-It’s not because it hasn’t started yet.
Phudduddduk.
A crack occurred and True Horn appeared, but Baek Woo-jin paid no attention and continued to look up at the broken sky.
-come! Get ready.
The Minotaur, with its powerful presence, came down to the ground, putting pressure on all humans.
[Rasadum’s auror characteristic level 2 ‘Flame Wing’ is activated.]
[Super concentration is activated.]
[The combat characteristic of Perseverance is activated.]
As soon as Baek Woo-jin saw the Minotaur, he activated all his combat skills.
His eyes glowed blue and black flames burned throughout his body.
“Coooooooo!”
When everyone fell to their knees due to the Minotaur’s roar, Baek Woo-jin turned the auror on his body and was not affected at all.
“Master Do….”
“Ugh….”
“It’s okay.”
Baek Woo-jin delivered the aura to Moon Ju-young and Jeok Yeon-hwa, freed Peer, and then approached the Minotaur.
“Kaaaa!”
The Minotaur stamped the ground with its feet covered in red energy as if it was displeased.
Kwaaaaaaaa!
The earth cracked like a cookie and began to collapse.
“The beast does all kinds of things.”
Baek Woo-jin grinned and stepped on the Sword Emperor, canceling out the earthquake caused by the Minotaur.
Coo coo coo coo.
As a result of the clash of two powerful forces, a huge wall made of asphalt was built between Baek Woo-jin and the Minotaur.
“Medical sword belt!”
Baek Woo-jin loaded the Auror and called the medical team.
Because the medical sword stand was far away, it did not reach the Minotaur’s pier.
“Spread out your camp and protect the people!”
“Follow orders!”
The 18 members of the Medical Swordsman responded loudly and began to perform the nine-gung-wi-gyeongjin.
“young master!”
Jeok Yeon-hwa and Moon Ju-young, who barely came to their senses, came to Baek Woo-jin’s side.
“You two, take the talented people here and stop the True Horns.”
“Then what about you!”
Jeok Yeon-hwa was scared and screamed.
“I…”
As soon as Baek Woo-jin finished speaking, the wall collapsed and the Minotaur rushed in like a warhead.
“I have to play with that guy.”
“Master Tao! “That’s no ordinary monster!”
“are you okay. “You can stop it.”
Baek Woo-jin did not retreat in front of the explosive charge, but walked forward and swung the black king bullet.
Kwaaaaaaaa!
The waves of power emitted by the two monsters shattered all the glass windows of the surrounding buildings, and the ruined earth exploded once again.
“What power…”
Baek Woo-jin trembled with the hand holding the Armin Sword.
Even though he used a full-power black king bullet filled with the attributes of a river, the Minotaur’s body and ax were not pushed back by even a millimeter.
“Ugh….”
The black flame covering the dark sword burned wildly, but it could not dampen the red aura emitted by the Minotaur.
“Is that speculation?”
Like the aurors used by warriors, the Minotaur covered its body with red energy, strengthening its body and weapons.
Whoops.
I could smell the fishy smell of blood from the minotaur’s snort.
The fact that you can feel the smell of blood just by breathing means that you have built up your strength by killing thousands of creatures.
Quang!
Baek Woo-jin concentrated his auror and pushed away the bladed ax, then leaped and struck the sword.
It was a heavy sword that struck Muryeong.
The Minotaur did not back down even under great pressure and ignited its spirit.
Kugugoogung!
With the second collision between the sword and the bladed axe, the gray asphalt disappeared without a trace, leaving only dirt fluttering around.
It looked like a sinkhole had burst.
Absolutely!
Baek Woo-jin stretched out his sword without even taking a breath and launched four lightning bolts.
“Kaaaa!”
The Minotaur concentrated his energy on his horn, forming a spear-like shape and deflecting the lightning bolt.
‘This guy isn’t just strong. ‘I have a lot of experience.’
Baek Woo-jin laughed when he saw the Minotaur’s defense.
He feels joy at meeting an opponent who will fight using all his skills.
Quang!
Baek Woo-jin slashed his sword and Minotaur struck with his bladed axe.
A human and a monster exchanged dozens of attacks.
Every time the sword and ax collided, a sound that would tear the eardrums rang out.
“Ah…”
Yeomsa watched the battle between the two monsters unfolding before his eyes, unable to even breathe.
‘How could this happen!’
I thought I had become strong enough through intensive training with Hwangho.
I thought I had built up the strength to defeat Baek Woo-jin and make his reputation my own.
But it was literally just a dream.
Baek Woo-jin’s force fighting the Minotaur was emitting a power that he could not even imagine.
If I had been the one in front of that monster cow, my sword would have broken before I could last even 10 seconds.
‘Why does a guy like that exist? why!’
Yeomsa’s hands trembled.
Baek Woo-jin seemed to have become several times stronger than he had grown.
He was almost angry at Heaven for creating such a monster in the same era as him.
Quaaaang!
Baek Woo-jin deployed Nakseongwihwa and then retreated.
“Whoa…”
Although he was never hit directly, his entire body was covered in bruises due to the Minotaur’s fighting spirit.
“Krrr…”
The Minotaur was still shining with its brilliant eyes, but it had suffered large and small wounds from being hit by Baek Woo-jin’s sword.
“We can start now.”
Baek Woo-jin corrected the sword and placed it in the middle.
Although he was just taking a ready stance without any movement, an overwhelming presence emanated from him.
Goooooh.
Baek Woo-jin seemed bigger than the Minotaur, who was 4 meters tall.
“Krrr…”
The Minotaur hesitated for a moment due to the pressure radiating from Baek Woo-jin, but raised the ax again.
No matter what humans do, they think they can win.
“Kaaaa!”
The Minotaur’s spirit rose like a storm.
It was the biggest and sharpest thing I had ever seen.
Whoa!
At that moment, Baek Woo-jin’s appearance also changed.
Bright red flames soared beneath the black flames that covered his entire body.
Unlike the flame, the red flames covered the dark sword with intense heat.
Coo!
The Minotaur did not stop even after seeing Baek Woo-jin’s flames.
He charged forward with his sword like a sword wrapped around his axe.
“That’s how it is an animal.”
The cancer sword that had been stopped rotated in a spiral.
It was the first drawing of the Gyeophwageom type.
Hahaha!
The flame of the fireworks burned away the Minotaur’s fighting spirit and pushed away the bladed ax with force.
“Crrrrrrr!”
The Minotaur’s eyes were filled with astonishment at the incredible phenomenon of a thin sword pushing away his axe.
Although I have collided with the person in front of me countless times until now, this was the first time I was pushed back by force.
“Kaaaa!”
The Minotaur could not believe that its own strength was insufficient, so it became even more aggressive and struck Baek Woo-jin’s head with its axe.
Whoa!
The female sword drew a circle from the bottom to the top, achieving the second Hwagyeongsangseong of the Gyeophwageom type.
“Kaaaa!”
The first scream of pain came from the Minotaur’s mouth.
This is because Hwagyeongsangseom pierced the fighting spirit and inflicted a wound the size of a large gate on the Minotaur’s chest.
Pudddeuk!
The Minotaur gritted his teeth and endured the pain.
He poured all his courage into the axe and struck down the human who had caused him pain.
Hahaha!
The gigantic auror’s form was a frightening sight, with red waves surging from a sea of blood.
“Aaaah!”
“What is that!”
“damage!”
A force so powerful that the talented people watching the battle screamed and collapsed, but Baek Woo-jin did not retreat.
“third.”
Baek Woo-jin put a small smile on his lips and lowered his sword. This is the third unification of the Gyeophwageom type.
The flame created by Baek Woo-jin split the tidal wave of speculation in half and cut the Minotaur’s blade ax into two.
Coo!
The blade of the ax fell to the ground, and the Minotaur’s hand, which was only holding the handle, trembled.
The monster that devoured thousands of humans and monsters feels fear of Baek Woo-jin.
Grumble!
Baek Woo-jin’s sword did not stop.
It whirled like water and created the fourth sword-shaped Flame Mirror.
Yeom Il-gyeong swept over the entire body of the Minotaur like a dragon roaming the sky.
thud!
The Minotaur’s head fell and its body fell backwards.
Only then did Baek Woo-jin’s flame go out.
“….”
No one watching the battle could open their mouths or make a sound.
This is because this situation is not reality and feels like a dream.
To them, Baek Woo-jin seemed huge and tall, like a ceiling that came down from the sky.
“Haa….”
Baek Woo-jin let out a rough breath and put away his sword.
-This is really damn good swordsmanship.
‘therefore.’
Baek Woo-jin nodded as if he agreed.
-Swordsmanship that only becomes stronger by accumulating pain and anger…
‘You can’t even change the order.’
Baek Woo-jin’s sword technique that Baek Woo-jin acquired was a sword technique that could produce stronger firepower as the pain accumulated and the longer the fight lasted, the more anger built up.
In addition, there was a restriction that the order of the nine sword types could not be changed, and the fatigue was quite severe.
-If you look at its power alone, it is overwhelming.
‘okay. ‘I was surprised too.’
However, its destructive power was enough to surprise even the user.
There was no need to say anything since the minotaur was pressed down with force from the front.
-Anyway, well done. Even before using the Fear and Fire Sword type, you demonstrated perfectly what you had trained.
‘Oh compliments?’
-okay. It’s a compliment. It may have taken time, but you would have caught the cow even without using the sword.
I felt even better at Darkness’s honest praise.
“Okay then…”
Baek Woo-jin looked around.
All the talented people were unable to take their eyes off him with a mesmerized expression.
When they made eye contact, they quickly lowered their heads as if they were frightened.
‘There it is.’
Baek Woo-jin approached Yeomsa, who was sitting down with a mesmerized expression.
“I told you to prepare properly because something unexpected could happen.”
“That’s it…”
“You’re just a living person and talking, but all you really do is look at it? And that too while shaking?”
“Ah…”
Yeomsa’s eyes were shaking so much that they popped out.
“Stop fussing without even knowing the topic.”
Baek Woo-jin continued speaking as he passed by the salt temple.
“You and I are on a different level.”
“Ugh…”
Yeomsa’s eyes unraveled like a broken rubber band.
A shock greater than the damage to his body was engraved in his mind.
Now, in his mind, Baek Woo-jin will remain as a huge wall that he cannot overcome for the rest of his life.
“Did you say Kim Un-seong?”
Baek Woo-jin picked up a piece of stone and dragged Kim Un-seong by the back of his neck as he tried to run away.
“That prosecutor!”
Kim Un-seong knelt down and bowed down.
“You said you worked at Crack for 10 years. “Is this the result?”
“I’m sorry. “I never knew such a monster would come out!”
Kim Un-seong’s whole body trembled and he hit his head on the ground.
“okay. “This is something no one could have known about.”
“That’s right. “I tried to do my best.”
In order to somehow come up with an excuse, Kim Un-seong’s speech became rapid-fire.
“I’ll admit it.”
“Thank you….”
“However, if bribery or connections were involved in this matter and they tried to handle it sloppily, I can’t just leave it alone.”
“yes?”
“I know someone well at the association. “My name is Lee Young-hyeon.”
“Ugh…”
As soon as he heard the name Lee Young-hyeon, Kim Un-seong’s expression hardened.
He is a very thorough person who conducts thorough investigations to the point where he is nicknamed a leech, and is immune to bribery or pressure.
“If you ask him and it turns out that there are things that are not normal in this incident…”
Baek Woo-jin pulverized the stone he was holding in his hand.
“No matter what the Association says, I will follow you to the end and deal with you personally.”
“Ugh…”
Baek Woo-jin’s bloody eyes and cold words made Kim Un-seong’s soul escape from his mouth.
He was like a doll whose strings had been cut, unable to move and only drooling.
-Stop harassing the little bastards and go to the place where the cow was killed.
‘why?’
-Just go.
Following the words of darkness, we returned to the place where the Minotaur’s body was.
-Do you see that red and elongated thing where you hurt?
‘Huh? That…’
-Take it out.
Darkness laughed.
-That is the best gift from the Minotaur.
