I Became a Renowned Family’s Sword Prodigy - Chapter 194
Episode 194 A sword that splits dimensions (2)
“Ugh!”
As soon as Karen came to her senses, she felt a tingling pain in the back of her head.
“I can’t believe I lost like that…”
Losing in a sparring match was very possible, but I couldn’t believe that the blue spear sword was completely broken.
“It’s been a long time since I lost so thoroughly.”
Park Seon-yeong, the deputy leader of the Blue Sword Team who was sitting next to the bed, smiled.
“I can’t believe it! “That’s what dad made!”
The blue spear sword is a sword that Hwang Byeong-hun, known as the Spear King, made for himself. Although I had been defeated before, this was the first time that the swordsmanship itself had been neutralized like this.
“I have to go again! “It can’t go on like this!”
“Even if I go, I can’t win.”
Park Sun-young waved her finger as if saying no.
“That man is a monster. “I purposely took my time and observed the great lord’s swordsmanship.”
“But sparring is different every time you do it!”
“That’s a story at a similar level. “The difference between the great lord and that person is the difference between heaven and earth, isn’t it?”
“Ugh….”
“Would you like to fight me twice? “They’ll just ignore it like everyone else.”
Since none of what she said was wrong, Karen could only grit her teeth and say no more.
“Let’s not get scolded by the Commander-in-Chief again and go back to Block 2.”
Karen was currently disciplined by Hwang Byeong-Hoon and her battle with monsters was controlled. If you have an accident again, you will have to be confined to the center block for a month.
“I’m still going!”
“Haa…”
Karen got up and ran out. Park Seon-young sighed and shook her head.
“I don’t know if it worked out well or not.”
Karen suffered great trauma losing both her parents before her eyes.
Thanks to Hwang Byeong-hun’s help, I didn’t go down the wrong path, but I tended to go too far in order to become stronger.
“This is why you have to treat your boss well.”
Sunyoung Park patted her poor shoulder and followed Karen out.
“Baek Woo-jin!”
As soon as Karen went outside, she found Baek Woo-jin sipping on iced coffee. As soon as I saw him, the back of my head started pounding.
“You wake up faster than I thought.”
Baek Woo-jin looked at Karen dispassionately. When I saw him get up right away after being hit squarely in the back of the head, he had a certain tenacity.
“Ha, one more round! “I can’t admit what happened earlier!”
“It’s annoying.”
“what?”
“You asked for a game and the winner was already decided. Do we need to do it again?”
“Keu…”
“Look. I told you I wouldn’t do it. Let’s go back to our block.”
“But…”
When Park Sun-young was about to take Karen back, Baek Woo-jin raised his hand.
“If we make a bet, we can spar.”
Karen was startled by Baek Woo-jin’s words and flinched.
“bet?”
“okay. “A bet that the other party will agree to the conditions they want.”
“Oh, you can’t believe me….”
“Are you a loser?”
Karen glanced at Baek Woo-jin and stepped back. Baek Woo-jin frowned as if it was absurd.
“Poo punsu?”
“It’s a penny. “It’s amazing that you can understand it just by looking at it once.”
Park Seon-young muttered, “Our leader is immature.”
“Because I’m not interested in you. “Don’t worry about that.”
“Then what are you going to order me to do?”
“That’s something to be decided after the sparring. “If you successfully attack my body even once during the three rounds of sparring, I will consider you victorious.”
“There’s no need for that! Fight fair and square!”
“What did you say?”
Baek Woo-jin nodded and headed toward the training ground, and Karen followed suit, grinning.
“Ugh…”
Park Seon-young covered her eyes with her hands and sighed. I wanted to throw a honey balm on the back of Karen’s head for throwing away a good opportunity.
* * *
“Huh! “Huh!”
Karen knelt on the training ground and took a deep breath. Sweat poured down her forehead like rain.
“This doesn’t make sense!”
Even if I couldn’t beat Baek Woo-jin, I thought I could at least succeed in a few attacks.
But no.
It was Baek Woo-jin, not himself, who became accustomed to the opponent’s swordsmanship. The more he sparred, the more he became a different person.
Especially during the third and final sparring, no matter what rotation I tried, I got stuck in the middle. It was like seeing an impregnable castle.
“Ah…”
Karen’s eyes shook like aspen trees. Now I think I understand why Park Sun-young stopped the sparring.
There was no need for any other modifiers.
Baek Woo-jin was a sword monster.
‘I understand a little bit now.’
Baek Woo-jin smiled and wrapped an aura around his sword. The aura covering his sword split into pieces and began to rotate.
‘It wasn’t simply rotating the aura. ‘The trick of the Wagum is to split the aura into small pieces, create its own shape, and rotate those shapes, right?’
-Well, that’s right. The War Sword rotates the entire Aura while rotating the small Aura particles one more time. I understand.
Heukam explained the Wagum as if nothing had happened, but inside he was sticking his tongue out.
‘I can’t believe you figured this out so quickly…’
I deliberately didn’t explain the Wagum to make it difficult for him, but he dug up all the secrets in just an hour. It was amazing observation and concentration.
“Aaaah!”
Karen screamed when she saw the black vortex swirling from Baek Woo-jin’s sword.
“How did you do that!”
Karen’s chin trembled. Baek Woo-jin clearly did not know the Waja of the Wagum, but he had now gone beyond Pahoe and was incorporating the techniques of the Wagum into the sword.
‘How is this possible?’
He was not imitating his own swordsmanship, but was using the swordsmanship technique itself called wagum.
“It’s harder than I thought.”
-It’s difficult. So I can’t believe you succeeded in one go.
‘It’s a five-star and a characteristic. And there’s still a long way to go.’
There are more than one or two features currently in use. Thanks to observing Karen’s sword with the power of its characteristics, I was able to incorporate the techniques of Wagum into the sword.
“I won the bet, so I’ll tell you my wish.”
“Baba right? now?”
Baek Woo-jin smiled and looked at Karen. Karen shivered, feeling an inexplicable chill.
“You need to hang out with me for a while.”
* * *
“Haa….”
Karen lay down on the training ground and looked up at the sky.
‘It’s already been a week.’
Baek Woo-jin stayed in the second block where he lives for the past seven days. He sparred endlessly and absorbed like a sponge the techniques of the sword he had learned.
But I couldn’t say anything to Baek Woo-jin. This is because he accepted my questions and helped me improve my swordsmanship.
‘I gained a lot.’
Thanks to Baek Woo-jin, the walls blocking his path were instantly broken down. I felt like I grew more during the week I spent with Baek Woo-jin than over the past year.
‘Thank you too.’
He always saw people running away from him, but on the contrary, he felt great gratitude to Baek Woo-jin, who came to see him and hang out with him.
“But that’s a bit harsh…”
Karen looked at Baek Woo-jin with a tired expression. A black vortex, like a small waterspout, was spinning fiercely from the sword he was holding.
“Now it’s a bit more useful.”
“You think you could use some millet? “You really…”
Karen gritted her teeth. He wanted to punch his ears for being slow after mastering the techniques of the wagum, which he had trained for over 10 years, in just a week.
Ding!
[You have been initiated into the advanced swordsmanship attribute Wageum (渦劍).]
[You have completed an unexpected quest.]
[1800 reward points will be given.]
[An unexpected reward will be provided.]
“It’s finally here.”
Baek Woo-jin smiled when he saw the quest completion window that appeared in front of him. After a week of training day and night, I was finally able to enter Wagum.
-Training that little talker was also helpful.
‘okay.’
I felt a bit bad about learning the techniques of the sword from Karen one-sidedly, so I let her train as well.
As Karen grew, thanks to using the blue spear sword of higher achievement, her war sword was also able to grow faster.
It was a good result where each person’s growth benefited the other.
‘It’s been a while since I decided to try drawing.’
When Baek Woo-jin clicked to receive an unexpected reward, 100 cards appeared in the air.
-Karen is watching. Should I pick it?
‘You can’t see it anyway. And they probably don’t care because I do a lot of strange things.’
As Baek Woo-jin said, Karen sighed and lay down on the floor again.
‘With this.’
-Keuu u unique? The real you…
Golden light flashed from the card Baek Woo-jin drew. He still used his luck and pulled out three unique cards out of 100 that did not exist.
[The door to swordsmanship attributes has been opened.]
[Select the swordsmanship attribute you want to increase your understanding of.]
Along with the message, 13 swordsmanship techniques that Baek Woo-jin had learned so far came out.
“This is decided.”
Baek Woo-jin smiled broadly and chose the wa sword he learned last. A thunderbolt struck my mind, and the flow of Wagum that I had not mastered was engraved in my mind.
-Is this damn system’s antenna the 63 Building? It spreads even in such a crowded place! Why don’t you just skip the quest and just give it to me like this? yes?
As the system began to spread for the first time in a long time, the darkness also began to riot for the first time in a long time.
Ding!
[Heukam and Karen were astonished by your rapid growth.]
[600 additional points will be awarded.]
A new message appeared as if teasing Heukam.
-I wasn’t shocked!
‘As expected, you are on my side.’
-No!
* * *
Three days later. The powerful people of Block 4 were standing in line under the Wise King’s wall with their backs turned. A strong military spirit bloomed from them.
“The most important thing is safety. Speed isn’t important in today’s operation. It’s okay to go slow. Take care of yourself and your colleagues!”
Baek Yeon-hwi went up to the stage 10 minutes before the start of the operation and was giving command to the capable personnel. He continued to emphasize safety.
-Is he really from your family?
‘I don’t know either.’
Baek Woo-jin shook his head. It was quite awkward to see a person with the surname Baek talking about safety to his subordinates.
-If your father were here, he would have told you to follow me, even if it’s okay to leave everything.
‘agreement.’
Baek Woo-jin nodded. Even harsher words might have been said.
“Finally, when the elite dark elves appear, don’t fight them and just retreat. “I will step forward.”
“yes!”
The talented people of Block 4 responded loudly by tapping their left chests twice.
“There is now one minute left. Everyone, please control your mind.”
As Baek Yeon-hwi said those words, she glanced at Baek Woo-jin behind her. The two brothers made eye contact for a moment.
Woooooo!
Dozens of horns sounded in Center Block. Blue eyes shone from the eyes and bodies of all the talented people.
Ugh!
It was a blessing given to the entire block by those with auxiliary characteristics.
“let’s go!”
Baek Yeon-hwi took the lead with his cape waving, followed by the Hyeongeomdae. All the talented people ran towards the dark zone while holding on to their assigned positions.
“Let’s go too.”
“yes!”
At Baek Woo-jin’s instructions, Moon Ju-young and the medical examiner nod their heads sharply and ran forward.
“There’s a group of orcs ahead!”
“An ogre is approaching from the left!”
“It’s the harpy on the right!”
“Advance by slowly eliminating them!”
A long sword energy shot out from Baek Yeon-hwi’s sword. With a crunching sound, the bodies of the orcs in front were split into two.
-It is a properly trained sword. I don’t think he’s trying to scam you.
‘what?’
-Swordsmanship shows the personality of a swordsman. That guy isn’t trying to deceive you like Baek Sung-hyun.
‘I know that.’
Because of Baek Seong-hyeon’s case, I did not trust Baek Yeon-hwi, but the more I looked at him, the more I felt that he was a person who did not fit in with the Baek family.
“The ogre has been dealt with.”
“We also dealt with the harpies.”
Thanks to the magicians and warriors moving fluidly and dealing with compatible monsters, the monsters were quickly eliminated.
“If we continue like we are now, everyone can return alive. “Here we go again!”
“yes!”
Baek Yeon-hwi encouraged the talented people and killed monsters at the forefront.
The talented people in the back were able to move faster than expected because they only had to deal with the monsters coming from the sides.
Thanks to the efforts of Baek Yeon-hwi and Hyeongeomdae, there was no damage except for a few minor injuries until the end of the gray zone was reached.
“stop!”
Baek Yeon-hwi raised his hand and made everyone stop.
“It’s a dark elf!”
As soon as Baek Yeon-hwi finished speaking, 20 dark elves appeared from the forest.
They were holding a variety of weapons, including bows, swords, gauntlets, and spears, and behind them were countless monsters with glowing red eyes.
“statement!”
“statement!”
Under Baek Yeon-hwi’s instructions, the warriors opened their camps according to their assigned groups, and the wizards entered the center of the camp and prepared to assist in the battle.
“Leaders and high lords, take charge of the dark elves!”
“yes!”
The great lord and the leaders came out of the camp and glared at the dark elves they were supposed to be in charge of.
“statement!”
The medical examiner’s team also conducted an examination and glared at the monsters on the left. However, Baek Woo-jin did not step forward and instead erased his presence.
“long time no see. Baek Yeon-hwi.”
A playful voice flowed from the empty air.
Sigh!
The space split and a male dark elf with a curved sword hanging from his waist appeared. Human language was coming out of the dark elf’s mouth.
“Is that guy an elite?”
“you’re right. “This is a guy named Tulan, who is ranked 9th in the elite rankings.”
“Tulan…”
Baek Woo-jin mumbled the name Tulan and looked at the elite dark elf.
‘Is that guy really a dark elf?’
-right. That guy is a dark elf from our continent. But you’ve become stronger than those guys. The energy of darkness is very strong.
The guy named Tulan had bronzed skin that looked healthier than a fake dark elf, and his black eyes were as clear as black pearls.
The energy it gave off was also so ferocious that it could not be compared to that of a fake dark elf.
“Tulan!”
Baek Yeon-hwi gritted his teeth as he glared at Turan.
“Baek Yeon-hwi. “Do you know this friend?”
Tulan grabbed the middle-aged man in blue robes by the neck and lifted him up. The middle-aged man had both his arms and legs cut off and was spitting out blood through his mouth.
“Meton!”
Baek Yeon-hwi’s eyes shook. Meton, who was said to have died three days ago, was alive and bleeding.
“Someone with special abilities has come to our side. “His power brought him back to life briefly.”
Tullan grinned and grabbed Maeton by the neck and shook him.
“How dare you!”
“Now, your wish is to see that guy. tell me. “What did you do?”
“Ugh, Vice Commander….”
Black tears streamed down from Meton’s eyes.
“Thank you very much. “This guy told me everything that you guys were coming here.”
“I’m sorry. “I…”
Maeton lowered his head, his lips quivering.
“Thanks to finding out that you guys had planned a sloppy plan, we also came up with a reverse plan. When I think about it. “Today was my chance.”
“what?”
“While you guys were all over the place, we decided to come together and create a new Dark Zone. Where do you think we’re going? 1 block? 2 blocks? Hahaha!”
Tulan swept his hair and burst into laughter.
“Your fate has already been decided.”
“Keueuuuuu!”
Tulan tightened his grip and ripped open Maeton’s head. Meton’s head and body collapsed with a loud thud.
“Meton!”
“Oh, don’t get me wrong. “Because he’s not going to live long anyway.”
Anger blazed on the shoulders of all the powerful people in Block 4. If momentum alone could kill someone, Tulan would have been torn apart.
“I’m going somewhere else, so have fun with the gifts I’ve prepared!”
“Tulan!”
“You can’t do that.”
As soon as Tulan finished speaking, a strong blue energy surged from Baek Yeonhwi’s sword. Tulan laughed in front of the falling sword that tore through the air.
Kwaaaaang!
A wave of auras rushed in, turning the monsters in front of him into silence, but Tulan was not harmed one bit. The dimension has already changed.
“You still don’t know? “You can’t kill me with something like that.”
“Shut up!”
Baek Yeon-hwi exploded his sword and destroyed everything in front of him, but it had no effect on Tulan.
“See you again.”
Tulan laughed at Baek Yeon-hwi and disappeared, and dark elves and monsters rushed in like waves.
Quaaaaa!
At that very moment, a black glow bloomed from the whole body of Baek Woo-jin, who had been quiet as if dead.
“I can’t just let you go.”
* * *
“Humans on this earth are equally incapable of learning.”
Tulan chuckled and walked down the dimensional passage. Thinking of Baek Yeon-hwi’s angry expression, I couldn’t help but laugh.
“It’s so stupid.”
The humans’ strategy wasn’t bad, but it was too easy to take advantage of it if they found out about it.
Thanks to their stupidity, it seemed like they could easily create a new dark zone.
“I think today’s incident will spread the business even further.”
The more the gray fog spreads, the easier it becomes to achieve their goals. It seemed that conquering this place was not far away now.
“Then, let’s have a little fun…”
Tulan was about to leisurely move to the 5th block. A horrifying sound of fabric being torn was heard from behind.
“uh…?”
When I looked back, a black sword engulfed in red energy was dividing the dimension.
Squeaky!
My heart sank at the ominous sound of the dimension being ripped open. It felt like all the blood in my body was drying up.
“Where are you going?”
A dimensional gap opened and a human I had never seen before came in. The human smiled coldly and aimed a black sword.
“I should leave the thing hanging on my neck behind.”
