I Became a Renowned Family’s Sword Prodigy

Episode 370 Second return

“I want to get along well with this guy.”

Baek Woo-jin absentmindedly pointed to the floating darkness.

-Huh?

[If you say it will be a fight….]

“Of course it’s a duel. “I want to stab the darkness in the back, but can’t I change its body into a human?”

Darkness has had a harder time than anyone else since it started thousands of years ago when it stopped Kabaron. I wanted to give him a body so he could enjoy a proper life and rest.

-Make your wish, you brat!

The darkness twisted the blade like a twist.

‘The guy who can’t even cover his own urine….’

Baek Woo-jin tried to give himself to him using the excuse of a duel. A demigod will grant your wish, but you’re still a fool to think about others.

[Oh, as expected.]

Karen looked up at Baek Woo-jin and smiled warmly.

[I thought Woojin would ask for that. However…]

“Yes?”

[I want to do that. Even though it may not be a perfect body, I plan to give Cain a body he can live happily with.]

-….

She waved her hand as if telling him not to worry, and the darkness stayed still, its blade trembling slightly.

“Then it doesn’t matter. “As long as I can shake off the darkness, I’m fine with anything.”

[Hehe, you’re being disingenuous.]

“Not really.”

Baek Woo-jin slightly opened his mouth and shrugged his shoulders.

[I think it will take about a month until dimensional travel is ready.]

Karen stood up with lively eyes.

[And I will proceed with Woojin’s request as you said.]

“Huh? ask?”

-what?

[We will contact you again as soon as preparations are complete.]

Darkness and Baek Woojin expressed their doubts, but Karen waved her hand and became light and disappeared.

-hey.

The darkness flew in front of my eyes as I looked at the place where Karen had disappeared.

“why?”

-Who are you trying to take care of with your subject?

“I’m stronger than you now. “It is natural for the strong to take care of the weak.”

Baek Woo-jin snorted and pushed away the darkness that was trying to rush at him.

-Ugh! Joe is good! When I get this body, I’ll let you know who’s on top again.

“okay. Let’s do it. “This time, I’m going to turn the back of your head into a mop.”

-If you think that being manipulated by Kabalon is my skill, you will get seriously hurt!

“Bring one more pair of pants before sparring. If you get tired of my examination, you have to change.

-Sim-exam? Just cut that thing down with my sword and that’s it!

“hmm?”

While having a childish argument with Darkness, Servik and Richie gathered on the right came into view.

‘What are Jae-deul doing earlier?’

Servik and the Liches huddled in a circle like rabbits braving the cold wind and did not move at all.

‘Have you completely defeated the Beast King?’

-Ji must have lost interest now that he showed himself as a dragon.

‘but.’

As the darkness said, Servik did not enter the imperial palace and stayed with the Liches. It seemed that his pastime was over.

‘Are you releasing the lichs from the castle?’

The lichs said they liked being in the Lion’s Castle, but how could that be true? Servik will be releasing the souls of Carden and Fes.

“Servik. It’s all over…”

[I have no intention of meeting yet!]

As I approached the place where the three were gathered, the voice of a Korean woman who did not belong to this country came out.

-No way….

‘Oh no, right?’

Feeling anxious, I craned my neck to see what Servik was holding. It’s a tablet PC. It’s also a tablet PC with a scene of a pretty girl frowning.

-You crazy guys!

‘Huh…’

I couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

Servik Marcalector. The Ancient Dragon, who is said to have lived the longest on this continent, was playing a game on a tablet PC.

“Ho-oh, you’re rejecting my offer to meet up?”

“It’s because the progress is so fast. “Yeonhee is a character that needs to be approached slowly.”

“okay?”

“The charm of the Miyeonsi game is that each character has a different strategy.”

“Right.”

Servik touched the tablet PC happily and raised the corners of his mouth.

“The popularity has already dropped, so if you want to see the true ending, you might want to start over from the beginning. “You can go back to the menu.”

“i get it.”

Servik seemed to have gotten used to Richie’s strange way of speaking and restarted the game without paying any attention to it.

‘These bastards…’

While he was clearing out the imperial palace, these guys were here targeting the character named Yeonhee. I would have understood it if I had just taken a break, but it was absurd.

“Servik.”

“Oh, you’re here. Did it end well?”

Servik didn’t even look in this direction and just looked at the tablet PC. It seemed like he was immersed in the game without any interest in what was going on with the Empire.

“You mean that?”

“There is something strange about your world. “This game is pretty interesting.”

“Wouldn’t it have been difficult to understand the language?”

“Of course, I used some magic to fix it. I am a dragon. “That’s as simple as that.”

okay. I can’t believe that the amazing dragon is holding back.

“I tried to go back to Lair and get a good rest, but it seems like my next play date has been decided right away.”

“No way….”

“Yes. “I plan to go to the Lion’s Castle and conquer the games with these guys!”

“Now wait a minute! There are many types of games. If you do it first, you will be ruined….”

“Miyeonsi is the best.”

“you’re right. “I have tried many things, but delay is justice.”

When Baek Woo-jin waved his hand, the Liches covered Servik’s gaze with their bony hands. It seemed like they had no intention of letting go of their new comrade.

-I won’t even let you go.

Darkness laughed. With Servik’s abilities, he could collect all the games from around the world. The Liches may have been aiming for that and left Servik out of harm’s way.

-It already worked. Give up.

“Ha, okay. “Good things are good things.”

Baek Woo-jin shrugged his shoulders and stepped back. How about a chewy dragon? Having fun is the best.

**

Huh!

Dapple slashed his sword vertically. The sharp wind pressure from his sword split the training ground.

Baek Woo-jin quietly watched him strike his sword from behind.

-It’s really good.

‘Because I kept trying.’

Although Dapple was busy with the aftermath of the war, he swung his sword without a single day of rest.

If you maintain your current mindset, you will be able to reach a higher level in the not too distant future.

‘I feel a little more at ease now.’

Baek Woo-jin raised his gaze to the blue sky while listening to Dapple’s cheers that resonated throughout the training hall.

A month has passed since the end of the Continental War.

The empire acknowledged the war of aggression, officially apologized, and reached an agreement with everyone to pay war reparations over five years.

After the war, many rumors circulated, but the biggest one was, of course, about me.

There is a story going around that he single-handedly cut down the best sword of the empire and the priest, and even killed the god who was behind it, and was given the incredible title of the best sword of all time.

Of course, I went on a rampage saying that I could never admit darkness, but no one heard me.

The territory of the empire was divided among the Allied Forces, and after a rough arrangement, the Allied Forces were disbanded and everyone was enjoying a leisurely and peaceful time.

However, the time for me to leave was just one day later.

“Master. How was it?”

Dapple, who had finished his swordsmanship training, approached, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

“It wasn’t bad. However, when swinging the sword from now on, put a little more will into it.”

“Is it your will?”

“Even if it’s just for practice, swing the sword with the will to cut down the enemy. I don’t know now, but it will be of great help in the future. And when I turn my wrist…”

Baek Woo-jin looked at Dapple’s sword and explained in detail what was lacking.

“Thank you! “Master!”

As soon as Dapp received the advice, he ran back to the center of the training center, drew his sword, and began training.

-Are you not talking?

‘What?’

-Leaving tomorrow.

‘Now that everyone has found peace, I don’t want to cause any confusion. After all, I am a stranger. It’s better to leave quietly so that you can be slowly forgotten.’

The war ended and peace came, but the aftermath still remained. There were many people who would be anxious if he told them he was leaving, so it was better to just go along like the wind and remain on this continent.

“Tskcha.”

Baek Woo-jin left the training room and headed to Tycoon’s workshop.

Okay!

Even before entering the workshop, you can hear the heat and the sound of hammers as if you were standing in the scorching sun. I entered the workshop, enjoying the commotion.

Okay! Okay!

The tycoon was hitting a hammer in a crowded space filled with hot sparks and molten metal.

“Oh, are you here?”

As soon as he saw himself, he put down his hammer and took off his gloves.

“You arrived at just the right time.”

Tycoon grinned and took out a ring with a green gem spread out like a flower from his jacket pocket.

“Is this a ring?”

“okay. “It’s finally finished.”

“Huh…”

Baek Woo-jin laughed as he turned the ring around.

‘How do they make it like this?’

The green gem was spread out thin like a flower petal and surrounded by silver scales. The thought of making this by hand is mind-boggling.

“That’s amazing….”

“I didn’t do it alone. The green gem in the center is the seed of the World Tree that was first opened. “I didn’t know the elves would put that out.”

-You gave it to me?

Darkness stared blankly at the jewel part of the ring, as if mesmerized.

“As far as I know, this is the first item made by elves and dwarves with all their might.”

“…thank you. “I don’t know what to say…”

Baek Woo-jin received the ring carefully, as if holding a newborn baby.

“Compared to what you did, it may be premature to stop the bleeding, but it is the only thing we can do for you. “I hope you keep it well.”

“of course.”

I nodded and put the ring on my finger. A refreshing feeling as if I had entered a hot summer forest enveloped my entire body.

“That was enough. And…”

Tycoon laughed as he lit the fire bowl.

“I was really grateful.”

**

Baek Woo-jin headed to the Rhine Forest to thank Sylvia as well.

‘Darkness. ‘Do your job.’

-Hmph. If anyone sees it, they will think that I really left it to you.

Heukam blew his nose and wrapped the ring in a black air current.

Ding!

[Gift from Elves and Dwarves]

Grade:

Myth A ring made by the Dwarf Master Tycoon using the Seed of the World Tree, an Elven treasure, and the scales of a dragon. It is the first masterpiece created by the collaboration of dwarves and elves, who are usually not on good terms, and has the power to defeat demons.

All abilities increase by 15%.

The power of all swords increases by 15%.

Aura consumption reduced by 15%.

The world tree’s blessing effect can purify demonic energy.

“oh!”

Baek Woo-jin widened his eyes and smiled when he saw the message that appeared in front of him.

‘Is it huge?’

The ring options were great, but I liked the fact that it was the first masterpiece created by dwarves and elves together. I felt like I could feel the feelings of the two races.

-No! What else are you giving to a guy who doesn’t even need anything? Karen! Take care of me! I’m starving to death!

Darkness cut down on the emotional spear in frustration, but as expected, it had no effect.

-Why are you giving something like that to a monster who even uses his heart and sword? Ah-oh!

“It wasn’t Karen, but the dwarves of Linden Castle and the elves of the Rhine Forest who took care of it? “You either give and live like me.”

-Ugh….

As if the darkness had nothing to say, it just bent the blade of its sword like a whip and could not continue speaking.

“Prosecutor!”

As I was heading towards the World Tree, Sylvia was coming towards me. It feels like the forest has become brighter with her appearance.

“I thought you were watching Deple’s training. What’s going on?”

“The ring was finished and I was on my way to say thank you.”

Baek Woo-jin took off the ring on his hand and handed it to Sylvia.

“Wow…”

Sylvia opened her mouth when she saw the ring.

“We didn’t know that it would take on this form because we only contained natural mana in the seeds. As expected, you are Tycoon. “It’s much more beautiful than the original.”

Sylvia smiled as brightly as the petals of a ring. It was the greatest compliment for an elf who loved nature to say such a thing.

“Thank you for giving me this precious gift.”

“You don’t need to say thank you. “I’m just sorry that I can only give you those things.”

She shook her head as she returned the ring.

“They always say thank you, but I didn’t do it alone. “Be proud of leading the elves.”

“Hehe, do you know that the prosecutor keeps saying similar things?”

Sylvia smiled warmly with a slightly flushed face, as if she had been encouraged by her words.

“With the disappearance of Cabalon, the growth of the World Tree accelerated. If things continue like this, within 500 years it will be as big as before.”

“thank god.”

Baek Woo-jin raised his head and saw a tree that seemed to reach the sky. It was a bit disappointing not to see how much bigger that tree would be.

“Then I’ll go back…”

“Prosecutor.”

I was looking at the World Tree with Sylvia for a while and was about to leave when she called me.

“…When are you leaving?”

Her voice, which had been bright just a moment ago, sank low.

“How did you know?”

“It’s just a feeling.”

“No one noticed…”

“I don’t know. “I feel like the prosecutor’s energy is fading.”

“You have a good feeling.”

“So when are you leaving?”

I tried to sneak away, but Sylvia wouldn’t let me go.

“Whoa, it’s tomorrow.”

“I see.”

Sylvia trembled slightly, perhaps because it was faster than expected.

“Why don’t you tell other people?”

“I plan to leave quietly.”

“You look like a prosecutor. “That…”

“Yes?”

“Are we going to the place where the people who appeared in the last war are?”

“yes. These are all people I have a connection with. Thankfully, he came to help me.”

“That’s something you’d do as a prosecutor.”

Sylvia smiled awkwardly, pursed and opened her mouth.

‘I can’t say it.’

I had previously decided that I would convey my feelings when he returned, but it felt like I was putting a burden on the person leaving.

Especially when I saw that there were so many people who had connections with him, I couldn’t stop talking.

“But wouldn’t it be better to have at least one person watch me leave?”

“Hmm, I guess so…”

Baek Woo-jin nodded. It didn’t seem to matter since she already knew.

“Please come to the vacant lot outside the Rhine Forest early in the morning before the sun rises.”

“thank you.”

Sylvia returned to the World Tree with a somewhat relaxed and somewhat determined expression.

-Tsk….

Darkness clicked its tongue as if it didn’t like it.

**

[Preparations are complete. Please come to that place with the two of you.]

Baek Woo-jin quietly left the dormitory while listening to Karen’s voice, which was stronger than before.

“I’m a little sad that I’m leaving.”

“Because I stayed longer than I thought.”

Moon Joo-young and Moo Young-gaek also seemed to be a little worried, their voices calming down.

“No, you didn’t see all the jewels here. “I have to come back someday.”

“It was because of that? You thief! “Stop embarrassing the Baek family!”

When I arrived at the vacant lot, listening to the now-familiar argument between Joo-young Moon and Young-gaek Mu, there were two more people there, contrary to expectations.

“Prosecutor.”

“Now it’s coming!”

“Master!”

Not only Sylvia, but also Dapple and Tycoon were leaning against a tree in the clearing.

“You’re just going to leave without saying anything! “You stupid bastard!”

“Master, I feel sorry for my acquaintance!”

“Uhm….”

“Hwiik….”

“I’m sorry.”

Baek Woo-jin glanced behind him. Moon Joo-young bowed his head, and Moo Young-gaek whistled while putting his head on his paw.

“The craftsman made my sword, so I happened to…”

“Deppl is our younger brother! “I couldn’t fake it.”

After all, it was those two. I sighed and looked at Dapple and Tycoon.

“sorry. “But I didn’t want to cause confusion because I might not be able to come back this time.”

“It may sound arrogant, but I think you are wrong, Master. Both me and Master are alive! We’ll see you again someday! must!”

“This time, I agree with that kid. “I have a bright future ahead of me, but I can’t meet anything if I can’t!”

“Hehe.”

Dapp clenched his fists and Tycoon frowned, puffing out his cheeks. Sylvia smiled as she looked at the two people.

Now that I think about it, it’s these three people. These people were always by my side when I first came here and when I left.

“Whoa, I guess I was wrong.”

Baek Woo-jin tapped his head and bowed towards the three people.

“I’m sorry for not telling you in advance that I was leaving. “I think I was only thinking about myself, thinking it was for everyone’s benefit.”

“Master….”

“You just need to know.”

Dapple bit his lip as if he was thrilled that their hearts were connected, and Tycoon chuckled as he put the smoked bear bag in his waistband.

Wooooow!

While the people gathered in the vacant lot were laughing, a pillar of black light rose from the center. It is a gap that moves between dimensions.

[sorry. I had no choice but to set the activation time in advance…]

‘It’s okay.’

He shook his head and motioned for Moon Ju-young and Mu Young-gaek to enter the pillar of light.

“I’ll go.”

“So when will you be back?”

After saying hello to the three people, Tycoon asked as he was about to enter the pillar of light for the last time.

“We are alive, so if we go along, we will meet someday.”

Baek Woo-jin looked at Deple and smiled.

“That’s a good answer.”

“Master!”

As I was about to enter the black pillar, feeling emotions flowing from chest to chest, I felt someone running behind me.

It’s Sylvia. She turned around and hugged her chest tightly.

“Thank you so much.”

“I heard that yesterday too. You can stop now… ah.”

Baek Woo-jin widened his eyes. As I was looking at Sylvia’s trembling shoulders, she raised her head and kissed me on the lips.

Along with the soft sensation of a silk handkerchief touching my lips, a mind-numbingly sweet fruity scent flowed into me.

[Aaaah!]

-Hoo!

“Oh oh!”

“Hey! “Master!”

“Prosecutor! “What are you doing out of envy?”

I couldn’t hear any noise from behind or in front.

“I will remember this moment for the rest of my life.”

Sylvia let herself go, smiling excitedly for the first time since they met.

“See you again.”

Baek Woo-jin smiled slightly, feeling the lingering scent of Sylvia remaining on his lips.

The moment the dew fell from her eyes, her vision darkened.

**

“Hmm…”

Baek Woo-jin opened his eyes. Although Sylvia’s scent had not disappeared, the son-in-law could see a space filled with white.

‘It’s been like this before.’

Previously, it had crossed over to Earth while waiting for something like a balance between dimensions.

“uh?”

However, there was something a little different. Unlike before when he was alone, there was a man standing tall in front of him.
