I Became a Renowned Family’s Sword Prodigy - Chapter 104
Episode 104 Island in the East Sea (3)
A light fog was rising from the entire island, like the steam that rises when water is boiled.
It’s true that the fog rising from the floor was surprising, but that wasn’t the reason people stopped.
As soon as I inhaled the fog, my nose started to sting and my fingertips started to feel numb.
“The investigation was wrong! “Are you saying it’s not that there were poisonous insects, but that the entire island was poisonous?”
Lucas’ Park Seong-woo frowned.
Because of aerial reconnaissance, it appears that the poison rising from the ground was simply fog.
“What is this poison?”
“It is a water-based poison that causes numbness and respiratory problems. “It’s not a weak poison, but if you maintain your Aura, you won’t be affected much.”
Dokdon answered the brain dog’s question by inhaling the fog.
“It’s a good thing I brought you.”
Noegyeon patted Dokdon’s shoulder and smiled.
“Everyone use Aurors. “Don’t release it until the island is conquered.”
“yes!”
According to the instructions of the thunder dog, all the warriors of the Great Yeonmun immediately started using Aurors.
“Activate shift.”
Seongwoo Park gave instructions and used shift magic.
The wind began to blow through his body, pushing away the steam.
It may not be completely preventable, but it was an efficient way to minimize the effects of the poison with only a small amount of mana.
“young master. We also use aurors…”
“Wear this.”
“What is this?”
Moon Joo-young tilted her head when she saw the black necklace Baek Woo-jin threw.
“Poison necklace.”
“Yes?”
Moon Ju-young’s mouth opened wide at Baek Woo-jin’s answer.
I couldn’t understand how he knew about this and brought along a poison-resistant necklace.
“How can I get a poison necklace….”
“You never know what will happen on the island. “Of course I should bring it.”
“Ah…”
Moon Joo-young forgot what to say.
I brought the antidote just in case, but I never thought to bring the poisoned item. I could only admire Baek Woo-jin’s preparedness.
Not only him, but Lucas’ wizards and the warriors at the Great Yeonmun also looked surprised that Baek Woo-jin personally took the poisoned items.
“I should have taken care of it, and I’m really sorry. Master…”
“I have something better.”
Baek Woo-jin waved a black cape.
Of course, since he had a morale ability called Invulnerability to Heaven, this cloak was a regular cloak with no effect.
-There was a reason why I brought that necklace.
As soon as Baek Woo-jin took on this mission, he rented a poisoned necklace from a mid-level warehouse.
-But it’s a weaker poison than I thought. Did you need that necklace?
‘This poison gets stronger towards the center of the island. I don’t mind, but Moon Joo-young will have a hard time because he has to fight.’
The poison right now doesn’t have much of an effect, but the stronger you go, the stronger the poison will be.
Since you have to fight and fight bosses, that necklace will be a great help to Moon Joo-young.
“Then let’s go.”
Baek Woo-jin stepped forward and summoned Jin, the intermediate spirit spirit of wind.
[Crrr!]
Jin blew up a harsh wind and erased the poisonous fog blocking the entrance to the forest.
“I’ll go to the center and you can take care of it.”
Baek Woo-jin said only what he wanted to say and headed toward the central forest. His steps were unstoppable, as if there was nothing to be afraid of.
“Kwaaak!”
“Kaaak!”
Bask, wearing a sword and shield in his hands, rushed out of the bushes, but his body was cut in half by Jin’s wind blade.
“Huh…”
Park Seong-woo held his breath and looked at Baek Woo-jin’s back.
When he saw Baek Woo-jin arguing with Brain Dog, he thought that he had gained power and fame at a young age and had fallen into conceit.
But he wasn’t that kind of person.
Baek Woo-jin prepared poisoned items that even his guards did not have, used the spirit of the wind to understand the field of vision and the enemy’s location, and spread his energy to keep the entire area on guard.
He was not a blind man who was lost in power, but a seasoned expert who accurately understood his abilities.
“The nickname Hyeopgeom was not false.”
Park Seong-woo belongs to Lucas, but he also belongs to Green Tower, so he had no ill feelings toward Baek Woo-jin.
Because of Baek Woo-jin, Lucas’ reputation has fallen a lot, but I thought it was because of the nonsense between the Red Tower and the Blue Tower.
“Everyone gather together.”
Seongwoo Park gathered the wizards around him.
“We turn left. Pay attention to the monster’s movements and be prepared to use magic at any time.”
“yes!”
Seongwoo Park placed a wizard using brain attributes in the center and then used boundary magic to move to the left side of the island.
Baek Woo-jin and Lucas left, but Daeyeon-moon remained in place without moving.
“Did you put it on?”
“It was definitely attached.”
Dokdon nodded at the brain dog’s call.
Before leaving Sokcho, he sprinkled a substance called Cheonri Follow on Baek Woo-jin’s back.
It is a poison used to track enemies rather than attack them, and emits a scent that only the person who uses it can smell.
“Would you like to go after him right away?”
“No, let me enjoy it. After all, if you have the following, you can chase them anywhere.”
The thunder dog played with the spear and twisted its mouth.
“You can’t just kill a guy like that. “If I have to tear you to death in the worst possible situation, I will know what I did wrong.”
“execution. I also have a grudge against that guy. “I want to use my poison on him.”
Noegyeon stopped listening to Dokdon and fired his spear.
Absolutely!
The spear, with its brain energy streaming down, shot out like a beam of light and burst the five approaching Basks like balloons.
“Do whatever you feel like.”
The thunder dog summoned the spear and laughed like a ghost.
“If he survives after being hit by this.”
* * *
“Huh….”
Park Seong-woo let out a rough breath.
Not only him, but all of Lucas’ wizards were sweating as if they were exhausted.
“These guys are not normal.”
Seongwoo Park felt bitter as he looked at the corpses of Sharkless, the shark-headed monster that had just been burned to death by a thunderbolt.
“It’s completely different from the guys outside.”
Shakris was a level 5 water attribute monster, so although it was strong, it was not strong enough to withstand Thunder Bolt or Cloud Lightning magic.
In fact, Shakris, who was in the sea, could be killed with a single thunderbolt.
However, the Shakris inside the island was a completely different monster.
It was strong, agile, and had the tenacity to not die easily even from brain-attribute magic.
“Captain.”
Seong Hyun-jin, his immediate junior, came up next to Park Seong-woo.
“Isn’t the current situation exactly like when you’re conquering a dungeon with a boss?”
“what?”
“You may have felt it, but the monsters are getting stronger as you go inside. “The closer you get to the boss in a dungeon, the stronger the monster becomes.”
“Hmm…”
“Besides, the poison also gets more poisonous the further you go in. “Even though I’m filtering it through the shift, I can still feel the poison.”
Seongwoo Park nodded. This is because he too had the same thoughts as Seong Hyun-jin.
“There’s a good chance you’re right. “It’s not a strange place even if new things happen.”
A boss has appeared on the island, but the boss has never strengthened the monsters. It was definitely a strange thing, but there was no guarantee that it wouldn’t happen.
“Ha, there are still a lot.”
Seongwoo Park looked inside and used search magic. Even though many monsters were caught, the inside was swarming with monsters.
‘Baek Woo-jin…’
When Park Seong-woo looked inside, he remembered Baek Woo-jin’s confident steps.
He headed towards the center of the island from the beginning. Since there were only two of us, it would be hard to deal with the strengthened monsters, so I was curious how it would have turned out.
“No. “It’s not the time to worry about others.”
Seongwoo Park shook his head and stood up.
“Everyone, brace yourselves and follow us. “I don’t know what kind of monster there might be in there.”
“yes!”
Seongwoo Park stood in front of everyone, feeling the weight of the leader badge for the first time in a long time.
* * *
Whoa!
The heavy sword strike of the dark sword broke Shaqris’ head like a watermelon.
“It’s simple.”
Contrary to Park Seong-woo’s thoughts, Baek Woo-jin was handling the monster lightly.
“Are you okay? The more you go in, the stronger the poison seems to become. If you have a problem, please wear my necklace….”
“Don’t be foolish and wear it. “Because I’m fine.”
Baek Woo-jin waved his hand.
It was as if I didn’t have this kind of poison.
-Is this a poisonous attribute spreading across this island?
‘that’s right.’
-That’s so damn bad.
Baek Woo-jin has a very high resistance to water properties and has a morale ability called Invulnerability to Heavenly Poison.
If it’s poisoned to this level, it won’t be affected in any way even if it bathes and sleeps here.
-Poison is not a problem, but didn’t that crazy dog come to you and start a fight?
‘I will definitely come. ‘They even put a tracking drug on me.’
Baek Woo-jin smiled coldly.
He had already figured out that Dokdon had sprayed something traceable on him.
‘If you start a fight with those guys, you will die for sure.’
– Even if it’s the same as the pig, isn’t the crazy dog in a high position in the main gate?
‘doesn’t care. ‘Because it won’t be me who killed him.’
He also came up with a plan for what to do if the brain dog started a fight on the island.
“young master. Dokdo is poisonous, but the deeper you go, the stronger the monster becomes. “It seems like there is a boss here and he strengthens the monsters.”
“Then that means we’re on the right track.”
Baek Woo-jin answered calmly and sheathed his sword.
“We are almost at the center of the island now. “It will be over soon.”
“How do you know that?”
“Thanks to that guy.”
Baek Woo-jin pointed to Jin floating in the air.
He was not only using Jin to gain visibility and eliminate enemies, but also to understand geography.
“The spirits are so helpful.”
Normal people have one or two specialized areas, but Baek Woo-jin seemed to have not just one or two, but dozens. There was nothing I couldn’t do.
“Let’s start again.”
Baek Woo-jin and Moon Ju-young took the Shackles’ magic stone and moved forward.
“Kyaaaak!”
“Kyaak!”
Three Sharkris that were hiding in the stagnant water came out with their teeth bared.
Sigh!
Baek Woo-jin drew out his sword filled with the energy of the river.
The Dark Sword shattered all of Shaqris’ strong teeth and cut their necks straight.
“Arrived.”
Baek Woo-jin’s eyes were not on the dead Shakris. I looked at the large lake behind their corpses.
-Is that lake where the king of snakes you spoke of comes from?
‘It’s where the boss comes from, but it’s not the lake.’
-what?
‘That place is connected to the sea.’
At first glance, it looks like a lake, but the water is sea water and is connected to the outside.
“Is that a lake?”
“No, I think it’s sea water. “Be careful because you never know what might come out.”
Baek Woo-jin used Jin to spread the poisonous fog around the lake far away and approached the lake.
-I finally see that you are the king of snakes. Are you confident of catching it?
‘If it wasn’t for that, I wouldn’t have come here.’
Baek Woo-jin sat on a rock in front of the lake and waited quietly.
Boogggg.
After about 30 minutes, the water boiled and something erupted that shook the entire lake.
-Eh? Is that it? That guy is not a snake.
‘It’s not him.’
Baek Woo-jin shook his head when he saw the monster that had appeared.
The one that appeared creating huge waves was Mantaroon, which had the appearance of a huge stingray.
“Kyaaaa!”
Mantarun found Baek Woo-jin and raised both fins to try to charge at him.
“I’m not interested in you.”
Baek Woo-jin kicked off the ground and jumped into Mantaroon. A black light flashed from the sheath of the Dark Sword.
Fuuuuuuu!
The Mantaroon’s left fin, which was as big as a roof, exploded due to the overwhelming power of the black king bullet.
“Kyaaaaak!”
Mantarun could not bear the pain and fell to the ground screaming.
It was when Baek Woo-jin was trying to suffocate the fallen Mantaroon.
He felt a cold sensation behind him.
-Did you notice?
‘okay.’
* * *
“Now is the time.”
The brain dog grabbed Baek Woo-jin’s spear when he was about to burst the mantaroon’s fin and suffocate it.
Filled with the brain-attribute aura that I had slowly brought up beforehand, I fired the Thunder Spear’s Season Throwing Lightning.
‘it’s over.’
A cruel smile appeared on the corner of the brain dog’s mouth.
Everything was so perfect that I was amazed at the strength and speed of the auror who threw the spear.
Even if Baek Seong-hyeon came instead of Baek Woo-jin, it was impossible to avoid.
Kwaaaaang!
The throwing weapon exploded at Baek Woo-jin and a huge explosion erupted.
“It’s over.”
Dokdon approached Noegyeon with his mouth twitching.
“If he’s alive, use my poison…”
“Shut up!”
“uh?”
Dokdon saw Noegyeon’s embarrassed expression and realized that something was wrong.
“How can that bastard!”
The brain dog shook its fist.
His gaze was focused on the shadow standing proudly amidst the smoke of the explosion.
“Ah…”
The smoke cleared and Baek Woo-jin was revealed. He wasn’t even injured, not even his clothes were torn.
“I would have told you to watch the back of your head.”
Baek Woo-jin’s eyes flashed purple.
