Chapter 34
Episode 34 I’m here to sweep the dungeon. (6)
-Concentrate. The surprise attack was effective, but Jeong Hyeong-woon did not die.
“know.”
As soon as the darkness finished speaking, the remains of the collapsed ceiling shook.
Quaaaang!
The debris exploded and something flew in front of Baek Woo-jin. It was a corpse. The body of Son Tae-woong, mercilessly cut and crushed.
“Hehe…”
Jeong Hyeong-woon, bleeding from his forehead, walked out of the rubble. He used Son Tae-woong, who was sitting next to him, as a shield to block Seomya.
“Who the hell are you!”
Jeong Hyeong-woon glared at Baek Woo-jin with a bright glow in his eyes.
“You don’t know anything.”
Baek Woo-jin snorted and put the sword sheath on his waist.
“I’ll cut off your limbs and then ask you directly into its snout!”
Jeong Hyeong-woon picked up his sword that had fallen on the floor and rushed at Baek Woo-jin.
[Rasadum’s auror characteristic ‘Black Wind’ is activated.]
Baek Woo-jin immediately activated the Black Wind. The swirling wind descended on his body.
-come!
“know!”
Jeong Hyeong-woon’s moving speed was faster than anyone I had ever seen. Even though he was a dirty human horse, his skills were at a level worthy of a 5th grade.
“I’ll cut off that arm first!”
Jeong Hyeong-woon’s sword fell through the wind.
Whoa!
As if Baek Woo-jin had been waiting, he used a sword technique and deflected Jeong Hyeong-woon’s sword.
“what!”
Jeong Hyeong-woon’s eyes, who did not know that his sword would be pushed away, grew so big that they seemed like they were about to pop out. His chin trembled in embarrassment.
“There is still a long way to go.”
“Ugh!”
Baek Woo-jin used the horizontal and vertical cuts in succession following the foot sword. Because his abilities had increased, his sword had much stronger strength and speed than before.
Okay! Awesome!
Once Jeong Hyeong-woon was pushed out, all he could do was defend. Baek Woo-jin followed along until the end and did not give Jeong Hyeong-woon time to relax.
“How could this guy…”
Jeong Hyeong-woon looked at Baek Woo-jin, sweating coldly. The last time I saw him, his skills were clearly in the early 4th grade. Baek Woo-jin’s strength was completely different now, whether he had hidden it or had grown in two weeks.
‘I can’t help it!’
Jeong Hyeong-woon strengthened his resolve. Even if I suffered damage, I had to get out of this situation where I was being pushed unilaterally.
“Kaaaa!”
Jeong Hyeong-woon shouted and poured aura explosively into his sword. A huge aura erupted from his sword and pushed Baek Woo-jin back.
“Huh!”
Jeong Hyeong-woon, who pushed Baek Woo-jin away, frantically stepped back and caught his breath.
-There was a difference in the amount of aurors, so there was nothing I could do about it. Since the auror was forcibly pulled out, that guy must have suffered internal injuries as well.
Baek Woo-jin nodded and put his sword into its scabbard. It is true that Grade 5 Jeong Hyeong-woon’s auror was stronger, but there was no sense of crisis. If you give your all, you can fight back.
Coo coo coo coo.
A swirling aura rose from Jeong Hyeong-woon’s sword. I was planning to press Baek Woo-jin with the amount of Auror.
-I plan to put pressure on you with the quantity and density of those Aurors. This guy knows his strengths.
“Way?”
– Block it with a soft sword or break it with stronger force.
“Now it’s too late for Yugeom. “There is only one way.”
Baek Woo-jin laughed and rushed forward, pouring aura into his sword.
Kyaaaaa!
Once again, Baek Woo-jin’s swordsmanship and Jeong Hyeong-un’s strong sword clashed. This time, Jeong Hyeong-woon was not pushed out either. His aura grew even more explosively.
bang! Quaaaang!
The two swordsmen threw their swords into the other with all their might. Even if it was hit by a miss, the sword energy was powerful enough to burst flesh and break bones.
Kyaang!
When each other’s swords bounced back, Baek Woo-jin put his sword into the scabbard and Jeong Hyeong-woon lifted his sword into the sky.
Quaaaaa!
In response to Jeong Hyeong-woon’s explosive sword falling like a waterfall, Baek Woo-jin used his full-power black king bullets.
Yikes!
The black king bullet, which splits the air diagonally, collided with Jeong Hyeong-woon’s wide sword, which fell in a straight line. The manifestation of the two powers created a storm of auras around them.
Kwaaaaang!
With the sound of a shell exploding, both swords lost their tracks at the same time. The walls and pillars of the building exploded and the floor collapsed due to a collision of enormous force.
“Ugh!”
Jeong Hyeong-woon felt pain as if his arm would break due to the collision of incredible force. But I thought it would be the same for the other person as well.
‘You have to step back first…’
As he tried to retreat and regain his strength, Jeong Hyeong-woon felt a huge energy condensing above his head.
Gooooo!
That power was the Muryeong Cham used by Baek Woo-jin. He forcibly lifted his arm, which felt like it was about to tear, and used his full power with his sword once again.
The difference in the will of Jeong Hyeong-woon, who wanted to retreat, and Baek Woo-jin, who wanted to fight until the end, decided whether the fight would be won or lost.
“Keuuuuuu! Damn it!”
Jeong Hyeong-woon belatedly poured out his aura, but it was already too late. Muryeongcham, as if it were the sky itself, poured down on his shoulders.
Quad deuk!
Jeong Hyeong-woon’s sword broke and his entire shoulder was torn off.
“Kwaaaaaak!”
Jeong Hyeong-woon’s shrieking scream echoed through the sky. He struggled like a fish due to the excruciating pain he felt in his shoulder.
“Huh…”
Baek Woo-jin staggered and approached Jeong Hyeong-woon. After using Seomya and using the combination of Black King’s Bullet and Muryeong’s Cham, I had no energy at all. I felt like I was going to collapse at any moment, but I bit my lip and held back.
“Wait a minute! If you kill me, you die too. “Do you think my men will leave you when you’re about to collapse?”
Jeong Hyeong-woon pointed to his men outside the Auror storm. Baek Woo-jin ignored Jeong Hyeong-woon’s words and pointed the sword at his neck.
“Let’s make a deal. If you spare me, I will let my men retreat. I will also give you money. “A huge amount of money that you cannot earn even if you earn it in your entire life…”
Baek Woo-jin raised his hand to his face and took off the mask of the Manbyeongeum. The real face of Baek Woo-jin, who is much younger than Kim Ji-hoon’s face, was revealed.
“What…” Jeong
Hyeong-woon’s mouth trembled at the noble appearance that did not suit this place. I thought he was a capable person in the association, but this person is not that kind of person. It had an unapproachable atmosphere.
“Even though I hate my family so much, there are a few things I like.”
“what?”
“There is no compromise with the enemy even if we die.”
“Those words… Shingeombaekga’s!”
“I will never see you go to jail and suffer. “This is the end of your dirty life.”
“Ahhhh!”
Baek Woo-jin thrust his sword into Jeong Hyeong-woon’s neck without hesitation.
“Wow! Oh my…”
Jeong Hyeong-woon looked at the bright red blood pouring from his neck with eyes of disbelief. He slowly collapsed, feeling despair and pain.
“master!”
“Kill that guy!”
The talented members of the Tribon Guild rushed to Baek Woo-jin.
Sigh!
Baek Woo-jin gritted his teeth. He jabbed his sword like an awl into the person with the ability who rushed at him first.
“Wow!”
The powerful person whose heart was pierced fell down tremblingly. Knowing that Baek Woo-jin still had some strength left, the talented people stopped and surrounded him.
“I’m too worthy of a name to die for you.”
Baek Woo-jin glared at the talented people surrounding him with his razor-blue eyes shining. The moment you lose your mind, you really die. I had to endure it somehow.
-you idiot. I told you that since I used Seomya, a combo is impossible!
‘If we wait, the association will come. Then you can’t kill Jeong Hyeong-woon. ‘I’ll never see that guy come back alive.’
-Ha, you really…
‘It’s okay. ‘I didn’t come back here to search.’
Baek Woo-jin chuckled, strengthened his legs, and raised his sword. The ideal energy rose from his whole body when he started fighting.
“come!”
**
“Uhm….”
When I opened my eyes, I saw a white ceiling that I had never seen before. There was yellow sap next to it. It seemed like a recovery room.
-You weak bastard. Did you wake up now?
“I survived in the end.”
I remembered fainting from auror depletion after defeating the last enemy.
“Darkness.”
-Don’t talk to me. There are other humans.
“Are you awake?”
Baek Woo-jin turned his head to where he heard an unfamiliar voice. Moon Joo-young was seen sighing in relief. Next to him was a middle-aged man with a lot of gray hair. He did not appear to be a doctor or a healer.
“You…”
“My name is Lee Young-hyeon, head of the association’s criminal search department.”
“Lee Younghyun?”
It’s a name I’ve heard of. He was an employee of the association that Jeong Hyeong-woon had asked to be killed.
Lee Young-hyun got up from the sofa and approached Baek Woo-jin’s bed.
“thank you.”
Younghyun Lee bowed his head at a 90 degree angle to Woojin Baek. It stayed like that for a while and didn’t move.
“What are you doing now?”
“I would like to express my gratitude.”
Younghyun Lee raised his head and smiled calmly. Baek Woo-jin could feel pure sincerity in that smile.
“Thank you?”
“We heard that criminals were involved with the Treebone Guild and were beginning to investigate. “Their power was greater than expected and the group was tight, so it was difficult to investigate.”
Younghyun Lee frowned as if he was remembering that time.
“There was a connection within the association that even caused interference. I was frustrated as to what to do, but didn’t the prosecutor finish everything on his own? “This is my thanks for that.”
“Ah…”
“In particular, it was a great help by not only dealing with criminals but also securing internal documents.”
“Documents.”
Baek Woo-jin looked at Moon Ju-young. He was nodding as if he had done it.
“With the help of the prosecutor, the number of talented people who escaped Tribon’s clutches is over 400. We were able to catch the people in the association who were in a relationship with them, and we will soon be able to capture the remaining executives of Tribon.”
Lee Young-hyun explained the situation kindly and in detail to Baek Woo-jin as if he were his superior.
‘So that’s what happened.’
Baek Woo-jin’s eyes shone. Now I realize how things work.
‘This man would have died in his past life.’
-what?
‘The reason why Jeong Hyeong-woon ordered Lee Young-hyeon to be killed was probably because he was investigating their guild.
-Are you saying that Younghyun Lee’s future ultimately changed because you stepped forward?
‘okay. In the future, talk about multi-level guilds doesn’t come out until much later.’
In a past life, the damage and dangers of multi-level processing become known only years later. The reason is probably because the man in front of him was assassinated by Jeong Hyeong-woon and the investigation fizzled out.
“When I first heard that you took down two level 4 criminals and then a level 5 criminal, I thought it was a lie. “You are truly amazing.”
“Level 5 criminal?”
Baek Woo-jin tilted his head, not knowing why a level 5 criminal suddenly appeared.
“The real name of Jeong Hyeong-woon, the master of the Treebone Guild whom you killed, is Jeong Ho-un. He was a wanted level 5 criminal. “I only found out after verifying my identity.”
“Ah…”
Because Jeong Hyeong-woon was not caught in the future, even Baek Woo-jin did not know this fact.
“Right now, there’s an uproar outside with stories about multi-level guilds and prosecutors.”
“Me too?”
“Everyone was shocked and upset when it became known that the 16-year-old prosecutor had caught a level 5 criminal. And he fought so brilliantly…”
“I see.”
I remembered that an auror storm was created during the fight with Jeong Hyeong-woon. Since it exploded, it was only natural that it would attract attention.
“Up to this point, I have been speaking as an employee of the association, and from now on, I will tell you my truth.”
Younghyun Lee straightened his back and took a straight posture. He is being polite to Baek Woo-jin, who is much younger than him.
“Even though it has nothing to do with you, I really respect that you step forward with a sense of justice to save people and fight alone until the end to avoid harming others.”
Lee Young-hyun’s eyes as he looked at Baek Woo-jin were filled with emotion. He had thought that Baek Woo-jin was a cold person, just like the other direct descendants of the Baek family.
But he was a warmer and more humane person than anyone else. It was the first time that I wanted to imitate someone younger than me.
“hmm?”
As soon as Baek Woo-jin heard Lee Young-hyun’s words, he realized something was strange. Younghyun Lee saw himself as a just person who was burdensome.
“No way…”
I saw Moon Ju-young standing next to Lee Young-hyun. He closed his eyes and nodded as if it were the right thing to say. He even had a satisfied smile on his lips.
‘It was this guy…’
Now I know. Thanks to something Moon Joo-young said, Lee Young-hyun is showing great affection for him, considering him a great person.
“I think the biggest gain from this incident is that people have become more aware of multi-level guilds. It’s all thanks to the prosecutor. thank you.”
Younghyun Lee bowed his head once again.
“The reward money for catching criminals will be deposited into your account soon.”
“Ah yes.”
“I will take care of the rest, so get some rest.”
Lee Young-hyeon left after saying as if he was pledging to support her in anything in the future. Moon Ju-young followed him out, saying he had something to say.
“What on earth did you say? “Is that how people react when they see each other for the first time?”
– Didn’t he just recite a heroic story about you?
“I’ll have to ask as soon as I get back.”
-Check the quest before that. Let’s see if it’s done properly.
After listening to the darkness, I brought up the quest window.
[You have completed the unexpected quest.]
[700 quest reward points have been paid.]
[2 unexpected rewards have been paid.]
“It is completed. “The hard work was worth it.”
-Not just that, look down…
“Huh?”
Hearing Dark’s trembling voice, I suddenly saw a window under the reward. As I read the contents, my heart began to pound.
“Additional compensation?”
