I Became a Renowned Family’s Sword Prodigy - Chapter 79
Episode 79 Jeju Island (3)
The assassination team that Baek Eun-kyung was a member of was combing the area around Seongsan Mountain without missing a single speck of dust.
We searched with a search team, but no trace of the demon was found anywhere.
“Hmm…”
Baek Eun-kyung frowned as she looked in the direction of Seogwipo.
‘what?’
At first, I thought I was in a bad mood because the demons didn’t show up.
But that wasn’t it.
I felt something uneasy there.
“Do you remember the kid you left behind?”
Hwang Ho muttered as if teasing Baek Eun-kyung.
“My priest will take very good care of you, so don’t worry about whether you are a sidekick or a sidekick.”
“take? “Your priest?”
Baek Eun-kyung looked at Hwang Ho and smiled coldly.
“That guy is different even within the Baek family. “If your priest were as arrogant as you, he would hit his head on the ground.”
“What bullshit!”
“And once you lose, shut up and get out.”
Baek Eun-kyung waved her hand at Hwang Ho and moved to another location.
“That damn bitch!”
Hwangho could not do anything more than grind his teeth loudly.
“Why are you doing this?”
Chae Jung-hyun approached Baek Eun-kyung with a worried expression.
The two were quite close friends because they met wherever demons were.
“Is it because the demons didn’t show up?”
“That’s not it, it just feels a bit strange.”
This was when Baek Eun-kyung turned her head to Chae Jung-hyeon.
Whoa!
Two black lights burst out from the direction of Seogwipo.
The first darkness contained demonic energy, but pure mana was flowing in the second darkness.
“Baek Woo-jin!”
As soon as Baek Eun-kyung confirmed Baek Woo-jin’s aura, she ran at full speed.
“Demon!”
“Why are you there!”
“movement! “Go to where the light exploded!”
Not only Chae Jung-hyun and Hwang-ho, but the entire search and kill team followed her.
“I wouldn’t be able to endure it…”
Baek Eun-kyung looked up at the sky again.
The Magi and Aurors were engaged in a fierce battle of power, but soon Baek Woo-jin’s Aurors were pushed back and Magi encroached on the sky.
“shit!”
I was running with all my might, but it seemed like no matter what I did, I wouldn’t be able to get there in time.
That was when Baek Eun-kyung gritted her teeth.
Baek Woo-jin’s black aura was colored with pure white light.
* * *
“Krrrgh!”
Killua screamed and backed away from the brilliant light coming from Baek Woo-jin’s bracelet.
Hwaaaah.
A pure white light like a celestial cloud settled on Baek Woo-jin’s whole body.
The Aura of Rasadum and the Spirit of the Bracelet harmonized without conflicting with each other.
“What about that thing!”
Killua’s eyes were shining with evil and murder.
If it weren’t for the light of the bracelet, he looked like he wanted to rip Baek Woojin to pieces right now.
“I don’t know anything. “Now we have to start round 2.”
Baek Woo-jin rushed forward and pulled out his sword.
The black king bullets, which were upgraded in rank by combining black and white, rushed towards Killua’s neck.
“That’s it!”
Terrible magical energy spewed out from both of Killua’s hands.
This is a technique that has already been blocked once.
I didn’t know what kind of force was added, but I thought it would be enough to stop it.
However, the Dark Sword had a power that was on a completely different level from what Killua had expected.
Kwaaaaang!
The second collision between Black King Tan and Magi produced a completely different result than the first.
“Kwaeook!”
Killua was pushed back, spitting out black blood from his mouth, and Baek Woo-jin relieved the aftermath of the clash with a light wave of his hand.
It was Baek Woo-jin’s absolute dominance.
“How!”
Killua’s diamond-shaped eyes shook like the earth in an earthquake.
His eyes were a mixture of shock, disbelief, and pain, creating confusion.
“Kaaaaaa! doggish!”
Killua scattered magical energy as if glowing.
The magical energy that exploded from his body swept through Baek Woo-jin’s entire body.
A wave of demon energy crashed in.
A moment when even a person with ripe talent would sit down and cringe.
Baek Woo-jin laughed.
Sigh!
The dark sword, a mixture of light and darkness, mercilessly cut down Killua’s magic energy, which exploded like a volcano.
“Ah…”
Killua’s face was revealed through the torn magic cloth like a rag.
His face was pale, as if he had been painted with powder.
Wow!
Baek Woo-jin did not miss the opportunity.
He struck Killua with a sword filled with aura.
“Kaaaaaaak!”
A scream of pain burst from Killua’s mouth.
His right eye and upper body were deeply gouged by Lasadum’s aura.
“Kwaaah!”
Baek Woo-jin tried to end it, but Killua grabbed his wound and quickly retreated, emitting black light.
It uses the mobility skills that have been present since birth.
“Kill it. “I will kill you!”
The composure and dignity that Killua exuded disappeared.
He was just shaking like a spoiled colt.
“Kill!”
A black bead protruded from Killua’s body.
The black beads dispersed like smoke and rushed towards Baek Woo-jin.
It was a mental attack that infiltrated one’s ego into the other person’s mind.
-That?
‘It’s mental control. ‘We have to cut down that aircraft.’
Baek Woo-jin concentrated his mind to cut down the demonic body.
-no. Leave it alone.
‘what?’
-That was
when I… darkness was about to say something.
Quaaaaa!
A huge arrow of light flew from Baek Woo-jin’s back and exploded Killua’s magical energy.
It was the light used by Chae Jung-hyeon.
[Off! I remembered your face. I will never, ever miss it!]
Killua’s voice came into Baek Woo-jin’s head.
He sensed other powerful abilities approaching and used the light of Guangxi to escape.
“Tsk.”
Baek Woo-jin clicked his tongue and looked around.
-You ran away.
‘okay. I think I used a mobility technique.’
Even when I tried to use the energy strengthened by the bracelet, I couldn’t feel the guy’s magical energy.
-I was worried because it was a dangerous situation, but did you cross the bracelet line a little too far? What on earth?
‘The 200% option was much more powerful than we thought.’
The bracelet’s ability had a much more profound effect than expected.
It seemed to be more than 200% effective.
“young master!”
Moon Joo-young approached quickly.
“Are you okay? I’m afraid it might get in the way. “I couldn’t intervene.”
“good job.”
“All three people in the guest house survived. “It’s thanks to you controlling your strength.”
Baek Woo-jin nodded and looked around at the people behind him.
Chae Jin Chae and other talented people were looking at themselves with their mouths wide open.
The soul had gone out of their eyes.
“How could this happen…”
In particular, Yeomsa’s expression, who had blocked and ignored Baek Woo-jin, was crumpled to a level that cannot be explained in words.
“Are you okay?”
Baek Eun-kyung, who ran with all her might, glanced at Baek Woo-jin with shaking eyes.
Although the power of the demon he felt was intermediate, Baek Woo-jin was not enough to withstand the demon and inflicted a fatal wound.
It was something I had never thought of even in my dreams.
“As you can see, there was no harm.”
“What are you!”
When Baek Woo-jin was answering Baek Eun-kyung, Hwangho appeared.
“What do you mean?”
“How did you deal with a mid-level demon!”
-This cat is just like that snake.
‘Hwangho is strong, but he has a flaw in his temperament. ‘It’s just as I heard.’
Hwang Ho’s talent and strength were truly outstanding, but there were many people who disliked him because of his personality.
“Say it. How could a kid like you…”
“I dealt with you well. “What do you ask?”
Baek Woo-jin slapped away Hwang-ho’s hand that was trying to grab his collar.
“This guy!”
“Stop it!”
Chae Jung-hyeon stopped Hwang-ho, who was trying to grab Baek Woo-jin by the collar again.
“What are you going to do to the person who just fought a demon! “Are you out of your mind?”
“Ugh….”
Hwangho pursed his lips and lowered his hand.
-When I go out with you, I always meet idiots, but it’s been a while since I’ve seen the summit.
‘I know.’
Chae Jung-hyun started by asking Baek Woo-jin if he was injured or if he was poisoned by magic energy.
“Thank you for your hard work. Thanks to you, the people there survived and I also gained information about the abilities and levels of the demons. “If you catch the demon this time, half of the credit will be yours.”
Chae Jung-hyun gave a sincere compliment that made the listener feel good.
“Ugh…”
At his words, Hwangho and Yeomsa’s faces became even more distorted.
The two people glared at Baek Woo-jin as if he had stolen their ball.
“….”
Baek Eun-kyung was looking at Baek Woo-jin with eyes filled with admiration and strange anticipation.
“Now, let’s go. “Because there are many things I want to hear from you.”
Baek Woo-jin returned to the association’s branch with Chae Jung-hyeon.
* * *
“They say I was the only one who felt the demonic energy of the demon race.”
“How on earth? “Did you use some kind of magic?”
“That’s right. From that building to the guest house, you won’t even be able to feel Hwang-ho or Baek Eun-kyung…”
The talented people were sitting in the association’s auditorium and talking about Baek Woo-jin.
“Isn’t fighting and hurting a demon even greater than that?”
“yes. Because the Holy Palace said they were mid-level demons.”
“I really don’t know. “All Baek families are unique, but Baek Woo-jin is especially different.”
“Isn’t it what the escort did?”
“no. You saw my motivation. “They said he cut out the eyes and chest of the demon in a 1:1 ratio.”
“How can you do that in your first battle with demons?”
“I don’t know. “I don’t know if it’s real or fake, what kind of trick was used…”
At first, the talented people here ignored Baek Woo-jin.
Since Baek Woo-jin had never dealt with demons before, I thought he was a kid.
However, it was not enough for him to feel the energy of a distant demon, and he even inflicted a fatal wound on a mid-level demon.
There are only a very small number of capable people on Jeju Island who can do that job.
Therefore, the gaze of talented people toward Baek Woo-jin contained various emotions such as admiration, distrust, desire, jealousy, and denial.
“Everyone, please take your seats.”
Han Seong-yoon, who gave the briefing on the first day, entered the auditorium where everyone was gathered.
“Prosecutor Baek Woo-jin. Thanks to you, I was able to obtain good information. Thank you again.”
Han Sang-yoon looked at Baek Woo-jin and bowed his head deeply.
Seeing that, the gaze towards Baek Woo-jin became even more intense.
“The level of the demons is intermediate and they have strong abilities in close combat. In particular, it is said that they transform demon energy into gas and send it to them.”
Han Sang-yoon continued speaking while drawing a circle on the whiteboard.
“I think a gas made of demonic energy will have the effect of controlling our minds. And…”
Han Sang-yoon told everyone the information about Killua that Baek Woo-jin had told him.
After the briefing was over, the talented people began to move back to their groups.
“for a moment.”
Baek Woo-jin, who was about to leave the auditorium, was caught by Baek Eun-kyung.
“You stay here for a while.”
“why?”
“The demon’s last words to you were a declaration that was like a curse. “It will definitely target you, so don’t move.”
“I can win next time we meet.”
“I was able to fight because that demon looked down on you. “If the demons had taken mental control over you, you wouldn’t be here right now.”
“Hmm…”
Baek Woo-jin could not answer clearly.
In fact, Killua’s mind control was so strong that it was unclear whether he would be able to withstand it even with this bracelet.
“I understand that you understand.”
Eunkyung Baek left the auditorium with her last words.
‘I think I’ll be able to survive because I have the bracelet…’
-You don’t really need to prepare for mental attacks.
‘what?’
-Do as I say. I’ll let you catch that little demon.
* * *
“Damn it! it hurts! “It hurts!”
Killua was tearing open the wounds inflicted by Baek Woo-jin in the dark with her fingernails.
No matter what that damned human had done, the pain did not go away even if his flesh was torn off and regenerated.
In particular, the right eye was unable to regenerate.
I wanted to tear everything to death.
“Ugh, I never just kill you.”
Killua planned to take control of Baek Woo-jin’s mind and use him like a rag.
“I don’t need anyone else. Only him… huh?”
Killua, who was grinding his teeth until they broke, felt something and turned his head.
“That guy! “It’s his energy.”
Killua felt Baek Woo-jin’s energy and escaped the darkness.
“Is it a trap?”
Killua thought it might be a trap, but decided to give it a go, so she hid herself from Magi and carefully moved to where Baek Woo-jin was.
‘two?’
Baek Woo-jin was swinging his sword on the beach with only the one bodyguard he had seen in his fight.
‘Hmm…’
Killua looked for nearby talented people just in case, but couldn’t feel anyone’s energy.
The energy of the powerful, which had been detected in advance, was felt far away from here.
‘There is only now!’
Normally, Killua would have retreated, but her rationality was paralyzed due to the wounds she received from Baek Woo-jin.
Whoops.
Killua spread the demonic energy so thin that no one could feel it and then aimed at Baek Woo-jin and Moon Ju-young at the same time.
“This!”
Baek Woo-jin was startled and turned around, but it was already too late.
The ego containing Killua’s demonic energy invaded the minds of Baek Woo-jin and Moon Joo-young.
“Khahahaha!”
Killua looked into Baek Woo-jin’s frozen eyes and burst into laughter.
Now that his ego had entered the heads of the humans, the game was over.
“what!”
But Killua’s smile didn’t last long.
Baek Woo-jin’s mental strength was stronger than expected.
I’ve broken through many people’s mental barriers, but I’ve never seen one this thick.
“I can’t help it.”
Killua decided to enter Baek Woo-jin’s mental world directly.
Only then could he quickly dominate Baek Woo-jin’s body.
* * *
“Why are humans’ mental barriers so thick?”
No matter how I looked at it, I couldn’t understand it.
With this level of mental power, one must be close to the absolute.
He was truly a man with many questions.
“But that doesn’t mean it couldn’t be penetrated.”
Killua bared his teeth and smiled cruelly.
Since he came in person, it was only a matter of time before the barrier was broken.
The pain of the wound seemed to disappear as I thought about breaking the mental barrier and causing pain to this damned human soul.
“Start from here… huh?”
Killua’s movements to break Baek Woo-jin’s mental wall stopped.
I felt a terrifying energy behind my back that I had never experienced before.
“Ugh…”
It felt like even my soul would disappear the moment I lifted my finger.
“Ugh…”
It felt like someone was squeezing his heart with their hand.
It became difficult to breathe and my whole body was shaking.
I felt like I had fallen into an abyss with no end in sight.
“Ugh…”
Killua looked back slowly, like a slug crawling.
There, a prosecutor with flowing black hair was looking down at him with his arms crossed.
“Welcome to my world, baby.”
The black-haired swordsman Heukam smiled.
