I Became a Renowned Family’s Sword Prodigy - Chapter 175
Episode 175 Straight road
“The weather is nice for once.”
Baek Seong-hyeon left Myeonbyeok-dong and looked up at the blue sky.
His eyes looked as calm as a lake, but if you peel off just one eyelid, they were still sparkling with madness.
“Thank you for your hard work.”
Hwang Jeong-woo, the head of Cheonggeom, who was waiting in front of Myeonbyeok-dong, bowed his head deeply.
“Where is Woojin?”
“It’s in the private practice room of the Seven Swords Pavilion.”
“I guess that’s true too.”
Baek Seong-hyeon nodded.
I thought that Baek Woo-jin would not move for a while because he must have felt the difference in power.
“What happened to the dungeon?”
“We cleared the left path, but the right path became too difficult, so we ended up retreating.”
“retreat?”
“They say that because it was a place where they couldn’t even see an inch in front of them, they had no choice but to retreat after suffering serious injuries. Instead, the left path only has the final exam and no monsters regenerate. All you have to do is go there and take the final exam.”
“Good work.”
Baek Seong-hyeon smiled a twisted smile.
He had no interest in who was killed or injured on the right side of the road. I was only thinking about the rewards of the dungeon.
“But there was a problem.”
“what?”
“This came down.”
Hwang Jeong-woo handed a white envelope to Baek Seong-hyeon. It was a mission statement handed down from the Public Prosecution Department.
“It’s a mission statement…”
Baek Seong-hyeon opened the envelope, checked the contents of the mission statement, and chuckled. The message was to support a foreign guild.
“Are you telling me not to touch Woojin?”
There was no way the Public Prosecutors’ Office would give me a mission as soon as I came out of Myeonbyeok-dong, so this mission was clearly my father’s order. The reason is obvious.
It meant not to touch Woojin now.
“I had no intention of touching you even if you didn’t give me something like this.”
It is true that Baek Woo-jin and I crossed the river of no return, but there were still many corners to exploit.
When I was fighting, I couldn’t stop the blood rushing to my head, but I had no intention of killing him right now.
“What would you like to do?”
“My father gave it to me, so I have no choice but to accept it.”
Baek Seong-hyeon huffed and handed the envelope back to Hwang Jeong-woo.
“We can quickly organize the dungeon and move on.”
“We’ll be ready to leave right away.”
Hwang Jeong-woo nodded and disappeared from the spot.
“Hmm…”
Baek Seong-hyeon lifted his head and looked up at the blue sky once again. His eyes sparkled like the sun in the sky.
“There isn’t much left.”
* * *
Cooung!
A tiger beast that appeared to be at least 4 meters tall knelt down like a doll whose strings had fallen.
“Krrr….”
The prisoner’s entire body was covered with stab wounds and cuts, and his left arm was completely torn off.
“It was kind of fun.”
Baek Seong-hyeon smiled sadly as he looked at the prisoner kneeling in front of him. The madness in his eyes was burning like fire.
Pow!
Baek Sung-hyeon stabbed the sword into the top of the beast’s head with a red face and injected a lot of aura.
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
Not only the head but also the body of the prisoner swelled up and then burst like a balloon.
“It’s delicious to kill even a beastman.”
Baek Seong-hyeon licked his lips as he gently stepped on the fragments of the prisoner that had fallen to the ground. His face was full of murderous excitement.
“….”
The prosecutor and subordinates behind Baek Seong-hyeon showed no reaction like puppets even after seeing the cruel scene.
Cheeeeee!
The corpse of the Black Tiger King, the last monster on the left path, disappeared like smoke and a glowing blue door appeared in front of Baek Seong-hyeon.
“let’s go.”
“yes!”
Baek Sung-hyeon grinned and crossed the dimensional gate. His swordsmen followed him and entered the dimensional gate.
After going through the door, old but antique pillars and a long hallway appeared.
“Was that really the last exam? “It’s bland for the last time.”
Baek Seong-hyeon walked towards the end of the road at a leisurely pace.
After walking for about 15 minutes, a wall appeared and a golden box appeared in front of it.
“Is there something I need in that box?”
Baek Seong-hyeon opened the box, feeling his heart pounding.
Inside the box was a bead that sparkled in rainbow colors.
“Thank you all for your hard work.”
Baek Seong-hyeon turned around and looked at his prosecutors. They bowed their heads deeply, as if it was natural.
Hwaaaah!
Baek Seong-hyeon caught the bead with eyes full of anticipation. The orb emitted intense light as if it were about to explode.
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
The orb that was pouring out seven types of light shattered into pieces. However, no change occurred in Baek Seong-hyeon.
Phew.
Instead, the smoke inside the broken bead began to rise and create letters in the air.
[The special reward here was taken care of by Young-gaek Mu, so rest assured!]
Baek Seong-hyeon froze as if he were a mannequin when he saw the letters floating in the air.
“Ah…”
“What is this…”
Hwang Jeong-woo and the prosecutors had expressions of bewilderment with their mouths wide open to the point of being torn apart.
Crash!
Baek Seong-hyeon, who barely came to his senses, gritted his teeth until he could make a sound.
“No. Young. Guest.”
Baek Seong-hyeon spit out Mu Young-gaek’s name with great force, one by one, as if chewing it up and swallowing it.
“Kaaaa!”
Baek Seong-hyeon’s screams rang out in the space where Baek Woo-jin received the highest reward.
* * *
“There must be chaos by now.”
-If it were me, I would have destroyed the entire Jeokho Castle.
“Oh, that’s a shame.”
Baek Woo-jin grinned and licked his lips.
-what?
“Baek Seong-hyeon will go crazy and cause trouble, so it’s a pity that we won’t be able to see that.”
If it weren’t for the rule that a person who conquered Jeokho Fortress could not enter Jeokho Fortress again, he would have somehow gone back in just to see Baek Seong-hyeon’s distorted face.
-Anyway, you are a terrible person.
Baek Woo-jin took all the dungeon rewards for himself and even used Mu Young-gaek to toy with Baek Seong-hyeon in the end.
Baek Seong-hyeon will not even be able to suspect Baek Woo-jin and will try to find Moo Young-gaek from afar, who will be right in front of him.
-If you were one of my enemies, I would have dealt with you first.
“Isn’t that a high compliment?”
Baek Woo-jin slapped the darkness and laughed.
-What is the high praise…. But what is the bead that Jeokho gave you at the end?
“this?”
Baek Woo-jin took out a red bead the size of a thumbnail and spun it around.
“It’s something that can be useful.”
-So what do you mean?
“See you later.”
Baek Woo-jin shrugged his shoulders as if teasing the darkness.
-Damn you! I should have done more! I really had to wash my hair!
“No matter how early you regret it, it’s too late.”
-Uuuuuu….
“Master.”
While the darkness was exploding with anger, Hong Ara approached.
“Can I request 3 days of leave?”
“vacation? Come back. But what are you going to do?”
“It’s my father’s birthday in a week. “I want to go to the dungeon together.”
“Insu’s birthday? Then I will also give you a gift… Huh? “Going to a dungeon?”
Baek Woo-jin pursed his lips in surprise at the word dungeon.
“My father has never been to a level 3 dungeon with a boss. “I want to protect you and go with you.”
“Hey!”
-Oh oh!
Baek Woo-jin and Heuk-am were truly impressed by Hong A-ra’s plan. They both looked at Hong Ara as their uncle’s face.
“It’s a nice gift. “I’m sure you’ll really like it.”
I could see what Hong In-soo’s face would look like when he heard that his beloved daughter was taking him to a dungeon he had been unable to go to.
“Is that so? “I was worried it might be a little arrogant.”
“I don’t know about other people, but it’s not him. don’t worry. “You’ll like it.”
“Then that’s a relief.”
Hong A-ra sighed in relief and smiled. He was already looking forward to the dungeon he would go to with his father.
“If this happens, just take a week off.”
“yes?”
“After going to the dungeon, go on a short trip with him.”
“But…”
“I said it’s okay. How do you make a dungeon reservation? “Do you want me to help you?”
“Oh no. “I can do it.”
Hong Ara waved her face and hands at the same time.
“Then have a good time, get some rest, and then come back.”
“thank you!”
Hong A-ra smiled sweetly and lowered her head at a right angle.
“I’ll have a nice trip!”
“okay.”
Hong A-ra said hello twice more and then left the lounge. Seeing that his steps were light, he seemed to be in a very good mood.
-Ugh….
“What are you doing?”
-Ugh, he’s my student, but he’s so special. If I had hands, I would have stroked your head.
Darkness sniffled, as if holding back tears.
“You’re pooping.”
Baek Woo-jin sighed and stood up.
“Because I have to adapt to my changed abilities. “Don’t be foolish and just look at my sword.”
-You look like a guy who only trains his muscles and becomes emotionally dry! Aren’t you amazing?
“It’s so special, I hope it comes quickly.”
* * *
“How do you feel?”
“Even if I die right now, I have no time left.”
Hong In-su smiled brightly at Hong A-ra, who cut down the Toucan Orc with one sword.
“Ah, I should live long and receive filial piety from my daughter. “Why are you dying?”
“It’s that good.”
Hong In-su’s nose twitched and he could barely hold back tears.
‘I really have no time left even if I die.’
Perhaps because he raised Ara alone, he was timid and delicate, so he had many concerns.
But now Ara’s swordsmanship skills have improved, and her personality has become a little more cheerful. I couldn’t ask for anything more.
‘It was the luckiest thing in my life to talk to that friend first.’
I was really grateful that I developed a relationship with Baek Woo-jin and that he accepted my daughter as a prosecutor. If I had been in front, I would have bowed right away.
“Stop being emotional and go. “I have to catch the boss too.”
“boss? “You mean you can even take on the boss?”
“of course! “Go quickly!”
Hong A-ra and Hong In-su worked together to hunt orcs while showing off their skills to quickly break through the dungeon.
The two reached the boss, the Toukan Orc Chieftain, and immediately began fighting.
Hong A-ra Hong In-su faced the Toucan Orc Chieftain from the front without any danger, draining his stamina and injuring him.
“dad. “Finish it now!”
“i get it!”
It was when the two were about to deal the final blow to the Toukan Orc Chieftain.
Peeeeee!
Three large iron arrows flew from behind with a terrifying sound that pierced the wind.
“dad! “Go away!”
Hong A-ra pushed Hong In-soo away and herself stepped back.
Bub bub bub!
The three iron arrows hit the head of the Toukan Orc chieftain as if measuring with a ruler.
“Ugh….”
The Toukan Orc Chief lost his breath and fell to the floor.
“Hey…”
Hong A-ra bit her lip as she looked at Cheol-si. If he had been a little late in dodging, he and Hong In-su would have been hit by the arrow.
“You got it right.”
A tall woman walked from where the arrow flew.
She had refreshing features and white skin, but her slit eyes gave her a very fierce impression.
“What did you do now!”
Hong A-ra frowned and blocked the woman’s path.
“what?”
“It was dangerous to fire an arrow from behind without a signal!”
Because not only herself but Hong In-soo was in danger, Hong A-ra was angry in a rare way.
“You caught the boss.”
“We were able to sufficiently capture the boss. “It’s an unwritten rule not to touch another party when they’re dealing with a boss!”
“Where is that? “Whoever catches it first is the winner.”
The woman laughed. It was a smile that ridiculed and provoked Hong Ara.
‘This person…’
The woman’s reaction was so arrogant and confident that Hong A-ra calmed down her anger and observed the other person closely.
And then I realized who the woman was.
‘Che Qingmyo!’
I once saw a broadcast about Cheongmyo, the lord of Daeyeonmun, who uses iron arrows.
Although I grew taller, the face I saw on TV barely changed. It was clear that the woman in front was Cheongmyo, the youngest lord of Daeyeonmun.
“Do you recognize who I am? Then get out of the way.”
Cheongmyo pushed his shoulder, but Hong Ara did not get out of the way.
If she is Daeyeonmun, she is Shingeombaekga. That too is Baek Woo-jin’s prosecutor. My father was watching too, so I couldn’t back out of here.
“I can’t get out of the way. “You didn’t get the boss.”
Hong A-ra gave Hong In-su a smile saying it was okay and her expression hardened as she looked at Cheongmyo.
In a dungeon, the party that discovers the boss first has priority.
No matter how much he was the lord of the main gate, I couldn’t see him breaking the rules and being so shameless.
“Hmm…”
Cheongmyo looked Hong Ara up and down and her eyes suddenly sparkled. She smirked and smiled.
“I’ll give you one last chance. “If you don’t get out of the way now, you’ll regret it.”
“I don’t have any regrets.”
“What do you like?”
Unexpectedly, Cheongmyo raised his hand and obediently stepped back.
“Are you okay? “That woman…”
Hong In-su’s expression was not good because he was more worried about his daughter than himself.
“are you okay. “You know who I am under.”
“I know that.”
“Do not worry. “Because we didn’t do anything wrong.”
“Hmm…”
Hong In-su felt uneasy for some reason while listening to his daughter’s words. Because this is a world where people who make mistakes complain more.
* * *
“Damn it!”
Hwangho was frowning as he stood at the entrance to the Tukan Orc dungeon.
The people around him were breaking into a cold sweat due to the annoyance he felt.
“Why doesn’t it come out like this?”
Huang Hao had to participate in an event with Qing Miao, so he was waiting for her here.
However, Cheongmyo came out much later than expected, so I was extremely annoyed.
“I will come in and take care of everything!”
When Hwang-ho was regretting not entering the dungeon, the dungeon door opened.
After several talented people came out, Cheongmyo came out.
Her face was filled with as much anger as Hwang Hao’s.
“You’re coming out so damn late with a level 3 dungeon. let’s go.”
“wait a minute.”
Cheongmyo did not move and was looking at the entrance to the dungeon with a stern expression.
“They stole the boss I was holding!”
She shouted, pointing to the father and daughter Hong A-ra and Hong In-su who came out last.
“what?”
Hwang-ho looked at Hong A-ra and Hong In-su with an expression as if they were talking nonsense.
“Really! They stole the orc boss I had just finished capturing. “And while swinging a sword at me!”
“Stop talking nonsense….”
“That woman belongs to the medical school under Baek Woo-jin! “I believed that and took my monster by force!”
Cheongmyo spewed out lies without changing his expression.
“Baek Woo-jin?”
At the name Baek Woo-jin, Hwangho’s expression and spirit instantly changed to that of a demon. Red energy rose from his body.
“Is that true?”
“I’m sure. “That woman is from the medical school!”
Qing Myo was internally delighted when she saw Huang Hao’s expression.
‘It worked as expected!’
Looking at Hong A-ra’s face, I realized that she was the prosecutor next to Baek Woo-jin.
Cheongmyo knew that he could not defeat Hong Ara alone, so he used Hwangho, who was waiting for him outside.
This is because Hwang-ho knew that Baek Woo-jin would wake up even when he was sleeping.
“Whoa…”
Hwangho approached Hong Ara and Hong Insu with strong energy.
“Are you a member of the Baek Family Medical Sword Corps?”
“That’s right.”
Hong A-ra opened her mouth while protecting Hong In-su from Hwangho’s harsh force.
“But what she said is not true. “You lied…”
“Shut up. “The master is doing the same thing out of fear of being considered a slave.”
Hwangho’s momentum blazed like an active volcano. The anger towards Baek Woo-jin that had been growing for so long was pouring out to Hong A-ra.
“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…”
“Hmm…”
Hong A-ra and Hong In-su couldn’t even breathe properly as Hwang Ho’s murderous gaze filled them.
“Even if you are a member of the Shingeombaekga, you must pay the price for attacking my sister-in-law. From now on, your safety will be secured at Daeyeonmun. “Follow me.”
“I can’t go. “I didn’t do anything wrong!”
Hong A-ra bit her lip until it bled, but did not back down.
“okay?”
Hwangho chuckled and looked around. All other abilities and the association’s abilities were avoiding his eyes.
There was nothing stopping me here.
“Then I guess I’ll have to force you to take me.”
Hwangho smiled, showing his teeth.
* * *
“Master Tao!”
While Baek Woo-jin was resting after training, Moon Ju-young rushed to him.
-What? Why are you in such a hurry?
‘well.’
Baek Woo-jin’s face hardened. Looking at Moon Joo-young’s expression, it seemed like something very urgent.
“I got a call from Yoo Jin-ah, and Ara was in front of the dungeon…”
Moon Joo-young told Baek Woo-jin everything that Yoo Jin-ah told her over the phone.
-This guy will rip you to death!
“Where is Ara now?”
“Uhm….”
Baek Woo-jin stood up, clenching his fists. Moon Ju-young could not breathe for a moment due to the heavy force radiating from him.
“Jina Ji also said that she found out about it after some time had passed. She said that both of them would have been captured by Daeyeonmun by now.”
“Whew…”
Baek Woo-jin let out a deep sigh and left the lounge.
“Where are you going?”
Baek Woo-jin answered without even looking back.
“Daeyeonmun.”
