I Became a Renowned Family’s Sword Prodigy - Chapter 327

Episode 327 Preston Castle (4)

Baek Woo-jin followed Sein beyond Preston Castle and headed toward the North Sea.

“Arrived. “This is the real North Wall that blocks the North Sea.”

“uh?”

Baek Woo-jin looked at the north wall and opened his eyes.

‘It’s broken.’

-Why….

One axis of the northern wall, which rose to the sky, had collapsed in ruins.

“What happened?”

“A huge tentacle came from the North Sea and collapsed the wall.”

Sein sighed and looked up at the collapsed wall.

“tentacle?”

“One sucker was a tentacle bigger than a human. The tentacle fell like a mace and broke the wall.”

“So…”

“At first, it attacked to the extent that the wall didn’t collapse and then disappeared, but it got worse and worse and now it’s breaking the wall.”

Sein’s shoulders trembled. Even though he was the owner of Preston Castle, he seemed to feel sorry for himself for not being able to resolve this situation.

“There was a cross-shaped scar on the tentacle, so I used the Beihai Hyeonhwan towards that area, but I couldn’t cut it. “It waved its tentacles as if it was laughing at me and went into the sea.”

“If it has tentacles that big….”

“I think it’s a kraken.”

-It’s him!

When Sein said Kraken, darkness flew in front of his eyes.

‘That guy?’

-Kraken!

‘Sain also said that.’

-It’s not just a Kraken. Among the monsters that live at the end of the North Sea is the monster Hash Kraken.

‘Hash Kraken?’

-It is huge, more than twice the size of a regular Kraken, has resistance to all attributes and auras, and its power is beyond imagination. If it were the sea, I might be able to fight the dragon and win.

‘That much?’

Baek Woo-jin widened his eyes. A regular Kraken is also huge, but I couldn’t imagine it being twice that size.

-The last time Preston and I fought, he was the one. The cross wound that Sein mentioned is the sword mark inflicted on my body. I barely kicked him out, but now he’s back…

‘Oh then!’

Baek Woo-jin’s eyes lit up.

‘The first time Hash Kraken knocked on the wall was to see if Preston was still alive.’

-okay. I was worried that Preston might pop out, so I hit the wall to check the situation. When I realized he wasn’t there, I broke down the wall.

‘Then after this.’

-They will attack directly and eat everyone here.

‘It must be dangerous…’

It seemed like a major crisis was approaching Preston Castle.

“This is the first reason why we cannot accept an alliance. “We don’t have the energy to participate in the battle in the center because we don’t know when the Kraken and sea monsters will attack.”

“Hmm…”

Baek Woo-jin nodded. Sein’s words were correct. It was crazy to worry about other battles while leaving such a huge enemy behind.

“Then what is the second reason?”

“It’s under the castle. “Please follow me.”

Sein glanced at the north wall and then turned around. She returned to Preston Castle and to the back of the main staircase on the first floor.

Behind the stairs, which seemed empty, a black door flickered like a shadow.

Ugh.

As soon as Serin touched it, the door parted like fog and a white staircase leading down appeared.

“Come over here.

She went down with familiar steps.

‘Did you know this?’

-No, I think it was made after the contract was terminated.

‘Right.’

I nodded and went down the stairs.

“This is…”

A square pillar stood in the center of a huge room where the floor, walls, and ceiling were all silver.

However, it was not a shiny silver color, but a dark silver color like the North Wall. When I touched the wall, I found that the material was the same as the north wall.

“North wall?”

It seemed like it was a room created by the same force that created the north wall.

“You recognize me at a glance. that’s right. “This room was built in the same way as the north wall.”

Sein nodded, looking at Baek Woojin’s reaction.

“What is this room?”

Baek Woo-jin narrowed his eyes as he looked at the pillar erected in the center of the room. I could feel an energy similar to Sein’s aura from the pillar.

“This pillar is the second reason we can’t go out.”

“yes?”

“These are the rooms and pillars made by the first lord of the castle. He made it clear to everyone that if his successor wanted to advance to the central region, he would have to destroy this pillar with the Beihai Xuanhuan before leaving.”

-I didn’t hear that…

‘I heard he made this room after he broke up with you. Then of course I can’t hear it.’

Darkness didn’t even know this room existed, so it’s natural that it doesn’t know.

“So you’re saying no one has been able to destroy this pillar for hundreds of years?”

“It is said that this pillar was cut down by the fourth lord of the castle, but no one has been there since then.”

Serin lowered her head in embarrassment. There was a dark shadow on her face, probably because she was standing under the wall.

-Anyway, that guy….

Darkness clicked his tongue.

-They put restrictions on advancement, so it doesn’t change even before you search.

However, it doesn’t mean I don’t understand. He must have been worried about weak successors advancing to the center and then failing.

“To cut down this pillar, you have to use Beihai Xuanhuan?”

“yes. “I know that only with that can you cut down a pillar.”

“Hmm…”

Baek Woo-jin licked his lips and looked up at the pillar. At first glance, it didn’t look that sturdy.

“Can I take a look at it?”

“Please.”

Surprisingly, Sein nodded as if asking him to try it.

‘If it’s a yam, I might be able to cut it.’

I heard Seol Yeong-geom. He used the yam that had cut down the Beihai Xuanhuan and hit the pillar.

Wooooow.

The black blade that shot out from the Seolyeonggeom split the pillar in half, but the silver lights came together again to form the pillar.

‘It was real.’

Baek Woo-jin frowned. Although it was not a pillar, but a sword that could cut through dragon bones and scales, the pillar was regenerated with the sensation of cutting through water.

“It’s true.”

“yes. “It can only be cut with Beihai Xuanhuan.”

-As the child said, it would be true that you can only cut down that pillar by using the Beihai Hyeonhwan. Preston has done something really annoying.

“Well, unlike the Kraken, I don’t understand this one. Do we really have to keep the words of our ancestors?”

It felt frustrating to still keep the words of our ancestors hundreds of years ago.

“You have to protect it. That’s how I learned and grew up here. “It’s natural for you to be frustrated, but there’s nothing you can do about it.”

Sein nodded resolutely.

‘Then they can’t get out of here for the rest of their lives?

-know.

‘huh?’

-I know the complete form of Beihai Hyeonhwan.

Darkness looked up at the pillar and continued.

-North Sea Hyeonhwan is a sword that Preston and I created together. It is not a sloppy swordsmanship like that child’s, but a beautiful swordsmanship that combines eight techniques.

‘also.’

Baek Woo-jin grinned. As expected, Sein’s Beihai Hyeonhwan was not a completed martial art.

-However, I don’t know why such a phenomenon of the North Sea was passed down.

‘I think I know why it happened.’

-huh?

‘You said that Preston was strong and that you cared for the castle’s inhabitants, right?’

-okay.

‘By the time he was alive, the monsters around this castle would have dried up. ‘Because it would have all been wiped out.’

-right. Exactly.

The darkness nodded its blade as if it was right.

‘As time passed, the number of monsters that defeated the first castle lord must have increased at a rapid rate. From the time of the 5th lord of the castle, the number of monsters increased so much that warriors would not have time to train and would just train martial arts that focused on strength and speed.’

I felt it clearly while playing Baekbingjeon. The warriors at Preston Castle were only focused on strong swords and quick swords.

-Hmm, I’m sure… I wrote it all at once, so there’s a good chance it’ll come out all at once. The head really works well.

Darkness looked at Baek Woo-jin and stuck out his tongue.

‘He’s a guy I admire.’

After Ohseong rose to the top level, his intelligence and predictive ability were unmatched. Now I can’t even keep up with it.

– Baek Woo-jin. I have some request.

‘huh?’

-Tell that child the proper North Sea phenomenon. It’s so sad that the descendants of close friends have become like this after leaving the alliance. I can’t bear to see it….

‘I tried to do that anyway.’

Baek Woo-jin nodded. The first impression of Sein and Muin was not good, but since they received a proper apology, there were no feelings left.

I don’t know if it was free will, but I felt bad for being blocked by this wall, so I wanted to help.

-thanks. The sun is setting in the west…

ding!

Just as Darkness was about to thank Baek Woo-jin, a beep sounded.

[A new quest has arrived.]

< The True King of the North >

Preston, who ruled the North hundreds of years ago, no longer exists. Help them find their original strength.

Condition: Show Sein the true North Sea Phenomenon and defeat Hash Kraken.

Reward: 6000 points Title

– Quest….

‘Not bad?’

Baek Woo-jin raised the corners of his mouth. It was something I was going to do anyway, so I’m just thankful that they gave me the quest.

-Oh no! Is it starting again? Plus 6000 points! The unit price has gone up again!

‘Because it’s become a bit expensive for me too. And after you said thank you earlier, are you having a seizure again?

-This and that are different!

‘Black one.’

I pushed aside the darkness fluttering before my eyes and saw Sein. She was looking up at the pillar with sad eyes.

‘There’s no way it wouldn’t be frustrating.’

The person who is most frustrated because it is tied together with one word, tradition, is probably Seongju himself.

“Lord Seong.”

Baek Woo-jin let out a light sigh and approached Se-in.

“You said you were wondering how I know about Baekbingjeon?”

“that’s right. It must be difficult for a young person to know….”

“Actually, my teacher and the first lord of Preston Castle were close friends.”

“yes?”

Sein widened his eyes. It seems as if even the last remaining coldness has disappeared.

-Yanma!

‘It’s not a lie.’

-That’s true, but…

Darkness pouted as if he had nothing to say.

“Are you serious? However, our first lord of the castle has been there for hundreds of years….”

“I couldn’t meet my teacher in person, but by chance I found the book he left behind. “The book contained information about Lord Preston, who was a close friend of Master.”

“ah!”

Sein, who understood Baek Woo-jin’s words, let out an exclamation.

“I came here with Dapple to see how this castle, built by our teacher’s close friend, has changed.”

“Oh, I didn’t even know that…”

Sein’s face turned red.

‘Oh my…’

I couldn’t bear the embarrassment of trying to use a trick on someone who knew everything.

“The Kraken that broke the North Wall is called Hash Kraken. “It’s the one that the first Seongju defeated, and the North Sea Hyeonhwan…”

Baek Woo-jin told Sein about the Hash Kraken and the North Wall Hyeonhwan that he had heard about from Darkness.

“Hmm…”

Sein looks at himself with eyes that seem to be a mixture of various emotions.

‘Of course.’

No matter how famous you are, there is no way you can immediately believe these words. I needed something to show with my eyes.

“Actually, the reason I was able to overcome the Beihai Phenomenal Hwan without difficulty is because I know the season.”

“Is that really true?”

“My teacher also left behind research on the Northern Heavenly Swords, including the Beihai Xuanhuan, in order to defeat his close friend and rival, Lord Preston.”

“Ah…”

“I think I can help you complete the Seonglord’s sword…”

Baek Woo-jin smiled and pointed to Sein’s sword.

“Please show me the Northern Heavenly Sword.”

**

Sein brought Baek Woojin into his practice room.

‘Is this something I’m good at…’

Showing off your sword skills to a complete stranger. If someone else saw what you were doing, they might think you were crazy.

I wanted to say that I would quit right away, but when I looked at Baek Woo-jin’s eyes, those words came to mind.

Those clear, straight eyes could never have been a deceiver. In addition, the statement that the first Lord of Seong and his teacher were friends was highly credible.

He knew secrets about Preston Castle that only the castle lord would not know, and it is said that the first lord of the castle said that he had a rival.

“Haa…”

Sein sighed and pulled out his sword.

“I can’t tell you about Auror operation.”

“of course.”

Baek Woo-jin nodded as if it didn’t matter.

‘Hmm…’

His expression was calm. Still, I raised my sword, vowing to stop as soon as I felt something strange.

“Then let me begin. “This is the first herbivorous galaxy pendulum of the Northern Heavenly Sword.”

With those words, he lowered his sword from top to bottom.

Whoa!

The cool wind that filled the training room was cut by the sword strike that fell in a straight line without the slightest error.

-It’s wrong as expected.

Darkness clicked its tongue when it saw Sein’s galaxy plume.

-It’s not just that guy named Canzel. The guy named Seongju also learned the Northern Heavenly Sword incorrectly.

‘I can see it too.’

Baek Woo-jin nodded. Sein’s galactic pendulum was fast and strong, but its flow was not constant. It means that there is a gap.

-The original version of the Milky Way is mixed with softness. This is real.

Darkness lowered his sword body in the air. It was a sword that was fast and strong like Sein, but also mixed with softness and change to allow it to change direction.

“Hmm…”

Baek Woo-jin pulled out his Seolyoung sword and swung the galaxy pendulum in the air a few times before looking at Se-in standing blankly.

“Lord Seong. “Can you take a look at what I’m doing?”

Without listening to her answer, he raised his sword and struck it down.

Space splits.

It wasn’t just a simple cut with a sword, it was a slash with a variety of changes, as if a star had fallen from the sky.

-You’re so right.

Darkness laughed.

-You damn bastard…

I couldn’t help but laugh at the idea of Bingje Preston’s Galaxy Pendulum, known as the King of the North, manifesting itself with just one look.

“Ah…”

Sein couldn’t control his trembling and dropped the sword in his hand.

‘That’s that….’

The feeling of inadequacy and heterogeneity that I always felt while using the Galaxy appeared before my eyes, completely filled.

It changes quickly, strongly, yet smoothly. A power that doesn’t seem to make sense. But the harmony was close to perfect.

“It’s all you. “What the hell!”

“Can you believe it now?”

“It’s not about believing or not…”

“My teacher said that the Northern Heavenly Blade is a sword technique that combines various sword techniques in harmony. “I just went with the flow and swung the galactic pendulum.”

“No matter what…”

Genius. Even though he was the greatest genius on the continent, it made no sense. Even Garen, who is said to be the strongest in the empire, is probably not at that level.

“Please show me the next herbivorous meal. This time, continue until the end.”

Baek Woo-jin smiled and put the Seolyeong sword into its sheath.

“Haha, what am I doing? all right. “Let me begin.”

Sein nodded heavily.

‘It’s already a popular trend.’

Once you start, there is no going back. Especially after just seeing that perfect galactic cone.

Phew.

All 32 types of herbivores were shown, from the Milky Way Pendulum to the last North Sea Phenomenon.

“This is all the basic ingredients of the Northern Heavenly Sword.”

Sein turned around after showing all the techniques of the Northern Heavenly Sword. She looked at Baek Woo-jin with eyes that seemed to be longing for something.

“It’s my turn. “It will make some improvements, but it won’t be perfect.”

Baek Woo-jin said that and raised his sword.

Lower the sword and raise the sword.

His sword sometimes drew beautiful arcs, powerful energy exploded like a storm, and sometimes it emitted a brilliant light like a star.

“Ah…”

Sein’s whole body trembled.

‘Was that it?…’

It seemed as if the swordsmanship I had doubts about while practicing, and the swordsmanship I felt was different while swinging, was reborn into the word ‘perfection.’

It felt like the wall I had learned without thinking while learning swordsmanship was broken and there was a thundering sound in my head.

Whoa!

Baek Woo-jin’s sword headed downward toward the 31st herbivorous Northern Wei Wind for the last time.

“Why….”

“Beihai Xuanhuan is not just a herbivore, but a herbivore with enlightenment.”

Baek Woo-jin shook his head, looking at Se-in full of regret.

“This Choshik is a Chosik that contains all the Herbivores of the Northern Heavenly Sword in one move. “You may be able to use it right away, or you may not be able to use it forever.”

“So…”

“It’s awkward to show you right now because you might end up going down the wrong path.”

After showing the unfinished Beihai Hyeonhwan to Sein, he stopped his sword because it could be poisonous.

-It’s worth it to learn how to use ten thousand swords.

The darkness patted Baek Woo-jin’s shoulder as if pleased. Baek Woo-jin, as a swordsman who trains ten thousand swords, quickly made up for the shortcomings of the Northern Heavenly Sword.

If you practice a little, you will be able to obtain everything in the Northern Heavenly Sword, including the Beihai Xuanhuan.

“I see…”

“Anyway, if you train your sword the way I showed you, you will be able to reach a much better level than you are now.”

“But tradition…”

Sein bit his lip. The Northern Heavenly Sword they learned was a sword technique handed down from above.

Even if the swordsmanship shown by Baek Woo-jin is truly the famous sword of the Northern Heavens, it is not easy to change the swordsmanship that has been passed down through tradition.

“Is that a tradition?”

Baek Woo-jin put the Seolyeong sword into its sheath and stood in front of Sein.

“My teacher said that when dealing with the Northern Heavenly Sword, there is change, softness, and explosive power amidst the strength and speed. However, I didn’t feel anything like that, not only from other warriors, but also from the Lord of Seong’s sword. The Northern Heavenly Blade that my teacher wrote about in his book was not included in your sword.”

He looked at Sein with a ruthlessly cold gaze.

“You have strong bodies and powerful aurors, but your swordsmanship was below expectations. Is it really following tradition to hang on to the sword skills that have already failed? ”

“Ah….”

“I will study the Beihai phenomenon somewhere else.”

Baek Woo-jin resolutely turned around.

“Please come back after you decide what to do.”

**

Quaaaaa!

The black sea is rippling.

The pitch-black sea was calm, yet varied and explosive to the point of ferocity.

The silent tsunami rising from the black sea rose as if it would erase the sun in the sky, and then disappeared like fog.

Phew.

Baek Woo-jin lowered his sword beneath the sea of molten aurors.

“how is it?”

-That’s suitable….

“It’s complete.”

Baek Woo-jin chuckled. It was no exaggeration to say that the words “appropriate” that came from the mouth of darkness were perfection.

-Damn you. In just one week….

“Because they were all tricks I had learned.”

After practicing the Northern Heavenly Sword for a week, I learned its techniques and was eventually able to learn the Beihai Xuanhuan.

‘I’m a little sorry.’

You might think Sein didn’t teach you how to use Aurors, but thanks to his eyes for the flow and darkness, he was able to know everything with just one look.

-But will the child come?

“He will come.”

Baek Woo-jin sat down at the base of the tree next to him and nodded.

-It wasn’t flexible…

If you think about it, Sein didn’t need to accept Baekbingjeon.

It would be enough to say that Baekbingjeon disappeared, but he accepted it twice and did not leave this place according to the old tradition.

Compared to that cold and beautiful face, he was a very frustrating child.

-How do you know that?

“Because I’m a prosecutor.”

Baek Woo-jin smiled with a confident face.

Even though she was pressured by tradition from a young age, she is a prosecutor.

She was not afraid of sparring with her and was smiling even when she poured out the last Beihai Hyeonhwan. Of course, I was embarrassed when I was hit in the back of the head.

-That’s a great answer.

“Because I’m a prosecutor too.”

-joy! Get in shape!

“Prosecutor!”

As the darkness roared, a mysterious guest came running.

“No guy has appeared!”

The guy who ran so fast that I couldn’t see his feet continued speaking with his lips trembling.

“The Kraken is coming! It’s so fucking big!”

“It’s perfect timing.”

“yes?”

Baek Woo-jin grinned when he heard the word Kraken.

‘If I do well, I will complete today’s quest.’
