I Became a Renowned Family’s Sword Prodigy

Episode 78 Jeju Island (2)

Inside Gajujeon, 30 minutes before Baek Eun-kyung visits Baek Woo-jin.

“Are you saying we should take Woojin?”

Baek Eun-kyung frowned and looked up at Baek Cheon-hwa.

“I’m not going there to have fun. “We are going to deal with a demon whose characteristics and name have not yet been revealed.”

“Know.”

“As you know well, matriarch, dealing with demons is on a different level from dealing with monsters. “Please leave the care of the child to someone else.”

Baek Eun-kyung shook her head resolutely.

“You may sound like it’s a bother, but didn’t you really care about it?”

Baek Cheon-hwa looked down at Baek Eun-kyung and smiled inexplicably.

“yes?”

“You even handed over the necklace you were carrying.”

“That’s…”

Baek Eun-kyung was speechless.

Although he gave it to him when they were alone and Baek Woo-jin did not even show him wearing it, his father already knew that he had given it to him.

“Why did you give the necklace to Woojin when you didn’t have much interest in Seonghyun or Sohee? “What are you trying to use him for?”

“….”

Baek Eun-kyung said nothing to Baek Cheon-hwa’s words.

“I understand without you saying it. “If you, who have no interest in the succession or the family, handed it over, there would only be one.”

“I will take you with me.”

Baek Eun-kyung opened her mouth as soon as Baek Cheon-hwa finished speaking, as if telling her not to say any more.

“I might just die.”

“Then I guess that’s where his name ends.”

“Didn’t the head of the family really care about Woojin?”

“What I care about is a guy who is helpful. “If he dies because he meets a demon, he will probably die soon anyway.”

“…All right.”

Baek Eun-kyung looked at the smiling Baek Cheon-hwa for a moment and then left the family hall.

Her expression was as frozen as a stone statue.

* * *

Baek Woo-jin arrived in Jeju Island with Baek Eun-kyung and Moon Ju-young.

-I thought it was small, but it’s a pretty big island. What is famous here?

‘Except for tangerines, I don’t know much.’

It was Baek Woo-jin’s first time on Jeju Island, so there was nothing particularly different from darkness.

“Come over here.”

As Baek Woo-jin was looking around, Baek Eun-kyung’s bodyguard, Han Yu-ra, called him and Moon Ju-young.

“young master. Let’s go.”

Baek Woo-jin and Moon Ju-young followed Baek Eun-kyung into the association’s auditorium. Many talented people had already gathered inside.

-There are some levels.

‘The vibe is different. There’s something different about it.’

-Many of them probably came here for revenge against the demons. That desire for revenge is what creates their momentum.

‘Hmm…’

I looked at the people again while listening to the darkness.

Their expressions and mood certainly seemed like they were facing a life-or-death enemy.

“Red light sword. “You’re always late.”

A man wearing a tiger mask sitting in the last seat looked at Baek Eun-kyung and frowned.

“And now that you’ve brought a child, are you trying to act as a babysitter?”

Hwangho’s mask laughed when it saw Baek Woo-jin behind Baek Eun-kyung.

-Seeing that he was wearing a mask…

‘That’s right. Hwang Ho-ya, a disciple of Daeyeonmunju. ‘Next to it, there’s a salt mine.’

Next to Hwangho, there was also a gangster-looking man with a snake’s tail drawn around his neck.

“Sit over here.”

Baek Eun-kyung did not even look at Hwang-ho and Yeom-sa and pointed to Baek Woo-jin to the seat in the middle.

“Those guys!”

Hwangho and Yeomsa glared at Baek Eun-kyung, but she didn’t care.

“It’s strange that the Red Light Sword brought someone else.”

The middle-aged man sitting in front looked back and smiled.

A bow and arrow were set next to him.

“hello.”

Baek Woo-jin bowed his head to the middle-aged man in front of him.

“Do you know me?”

“You can’t not know the Holy Palace. “I saw it often on the news.”

“I’m honored that Hyeopgeom recognizes me?”

The middle-aged man burst into laughter.

-You’re a person with sexual attribute abilities.

‘that’s right. I guess it’s level 7 now?’

The Holy Palace in front of him, Chae Jung-hyeon, is a person worthy of respect who has done a lot of service and has the ability to possess a rare sexual attribute Aura.

In particular, he was famous for going and helping wherever demons appeared.

“This is my daughter. “This is my first time like you.”

Chae Joong-hyeon pointed to the woman sitting next to him.

“My name is Baek Woo-jin.”

“My name is Chae So-jin…”

Chae So-jin lowered her head in a hushed voice.

“Actually, this kid is your fan. I watched the video posted on that broadcasting station dozens of times and left 20 comments…”

“Dad!”

“ha ha ha!”

Chae-Jin Chae jumped up and screamed, but Chae Jung-Hyun only smiled.

“Oh no. It’s a fan, but it’s not a comment. Ah, it was sweet, but….”

“It looks like everyone is here, so let’s start the briefing.”

As Chae Jin Chae gave an incomprehensible explanation, a young man standing in a suit came to the center.

“My name is Seong-yoon Han of the Emergency Response Department of the Ability Association.”

After Han Seong-yoon’s introduction, the lights turned off and a photo appeared on the beam projector.

The photo showed a man wearing an old-fashioned suit.

“This is a photo of a demon taken this morning. As you can see, the appearance is male. “Because they haven’t clearly revealed their skills, if we were to evaluate them as demons, they would be seen as somewhere between low- and mid-level demons.”

Baek Woo-jin sighed after seeing the photo of the demon.

‘It was that guy after all.’

-Do you know this guy?

‘The name is Kira. ‘He’s someone who will often appear in newspapers and news later.’

Killua is good at close combat using demonic energy, but also has a strong ability to control minds.

‘8 years later, that guy became a high-level demon and controlled dozens of powerful people at the same time.’

-Is there a characteristic of mental control?

‘okay. It’s very tricky. Divide your ego into multiple parts and control the other person’s mind. There are also special movement techniques.’

-What a troublesome guy. It’s okay though. You….

“Damn it….”

When the darkness was about to say something, an expletive came out of Baek Eun-kyung’s mouth.

She glared at the demon with an expression she did not like.

-Why are you doing that?

‘Because it wasn’t the demon I was looking for.’

Baek Woo-jin was also perceptive, so he knew that Baek Eun-kyung was looking for a certain demon due to a personal grudge.

“What are the demon’s abilities?”

“I don’t know. “I used the ability to control minds, but any demon can use it.”

As Han Seong-yoon flipped through the screen, a map of Jeju Island appeared.

“The place where the demons appeared was near Seongsan, so all citizens in the area were evacuated. “Citizens in other areas are also evacuating, so there will be no problem if you start searching right away.”

After Han Seong-yoon finished speaking, the heads of each organization gathered in one place.

Groups are divided according to force and ability.

‘It’s a shame.’

-what?

‘I don’t really know what happened on Jeju Island either.’

He knows that Killua survived here, but he doesn’t know exactly what happened.

“Baek Woo-jin.”

After the meeting, Baek Eun-kyung approached Baek Woo-jin.

“You decided to go to Seogwipo.”

“Seogwipo? “I told you that demons come from around Seongsan.”

“You are in charge of protecting people in case something unexpected happens.”

Eunkyung Baek explained the contents of the meeting without any change in expression.

-Protecting people is important, but if it’s going to be like this, I don’t know why I brought you here.

‘I think my father forced me to take him. Baek Eun-kyung thought I couldn’t deal with the demons.’

-So you’re saying that Madwoman No. 1 is thinking of you?

‘First of all, that’s what I think.’

But there’s something Baek Eun-kyung doesn’t know either.

Currently, I have the legendary item, Circon’s Spirit Bracelet.

Just by possessing this item, you will be able to demonstrate superior abilities against demons than most of the people here.

“The master is your leader, so just follow what he says.”

“Why did he become the leader?”

“He’s older than you, has a higher rank, and this is his fourth time dealing with demons.”

“What if I don’t like the leader’s instructions?”

“Do whatever you want.”

Baek Eun-kyung went outside, saying she wouldn’t worry about it.

Baek Woo-jin looked at Baek Eun-kyung’s back and smiled.

“It means you can step on it.”

* * *

-It’s boring.

‘Hold on.’

Baek Woo-jin was looking around Seogwipo from a high building.

They are alert to their surroundings in case something unexpected happens.

It was boring, but there was nothing to complain about since there were many other talented people standing guard besides him.

-If there is a barrier anyway, won’t you be discovered if you show up?

‘Killua has the ability to break through barriers without being detected.’

-You have to be a mid-level demon to have that ability, right?

‘I don’t know if he has special abilities or if he’s hiding his powers, but I’m sure they appear suddenly.’

-He’s a nuisance in many ways.

“young master. “Time is up.”

When I looked back at Moon Joo-young’s words, other talented people had come.

I switched with them and came down to the building lobby.

“Thanks for your efforts.”

Chae Jin bowed his head and handed him a drink.

“thank you.”

“Hey, if you don’t mind, let’s eat together…”

“If you come down, let’s patrol now.”

Yeomsa interrupted Chae-jae-jin’s conversation and approached Baek Woo-jin.

“I didn’t hear you patrolling?”

“The extermination team and the search team that went outside have not yet found the demon. So we decided to strengthen patrols.”

“That starts with me?”

“okay. And from now on, please use the honorifics.”

Baek Woo-jin curled up the corner of his mouth at Yeomsa’s words.

“why me?”

“I am your leader and I am older than you…”

“What kind of school is this? “If you’re older, will you treat me with respect?”

From the moment they first got together, Yeomsa used informal language with everyone.

Some people are older, but I don’t know what kind of crazy idea it is that they want to be treated with respect by openly using informal language.

“I’ll patrol because it’s my job. But I have no intention of respecting someone who doesn’t respect others. “If you don’t want to listen to informal language, treat yourself with respect first.”

Baek Woo-jin spoke firmly and left the building.

“Ah, that’s cool.”

“The way I pretended to be like that has gone downhill. After all, it’s a narrow sword.”

The powerful people who were annoyed by Yeomsa’s arrogant tone and behavior muttered quietly.

“That damned bastard…”

Yeomsa clenched his fists and cried out for his life.

He gritted his teeth and followed Baek Woo-jin.

“Prosecutor Baek Woo-jin, which way do you want to go?”

In addition to Baek Woo-jin and Moon Ju-young, seven talented people were waiting outside the building.

The plan is to patrol three directions excluding the inner part of Seogwipo.

“I will go to the spare place.”

In response to Baek Woo-jin’s answer, the other two teams decided on the west and east sides, and the remaining team, Baek Woo-jin and Moon Ju-young, went toward the coast.

“Once you’ve decided everything, go quickly. “I still have something to order after I leave.”

Yansa was still unable to come to his senses and was trembling arrogantly.

Huh.

It was when the other talented people were leaving and Baek Woo-jin was about to make his last move.

‘uh…?’

It was so thin and delicate that I could almost believe it was just a single thread, giving off a dark energy.

“What are you doing! “Go quickly!”

Yeomsa screamed, but his voice was not heard by Baek Woo-jin.

-What are you doing?

‘Can’t you feel it?’

-what?

‘Is it because of the bracelet…’

Baek Woo-jin realized that he was the only one who felt that evil energy.

It was probably due to the bracelet’s detection effect.

“Over there…”

“There are other talented people there, so there is no need to patrol!”

Yeomsa blocked the front of Baek Woo-jin.

“I felt demon energy from there.”

“Do you feel the magic? you? Hahahaha!”

Yeomsa held his stomach and laughed at Baek Woo-jin.

“Stop talking like a dog and go on patrol as instructed. Since you are a member of the group, understand the topic…”

“Then you are a member of that group. “I’ll hit you.”

Baek Woo-jin took off the association mark he was wearing on his chest.

“You damn bastard!”

“Is the only thing you know how to say is damn and bastard? “You keep repeating the same thing.”

A rough and thuggish spirit rose like a tidal wave from Baek Woo-jin’s Danjeon.

“Ugh….”

Yeomsa felt Baek Woo-jin’s force and took a quick breath.

Although he thought he was below him for a long time, Baek Woo-jin’s power was never below his.

The change in him gave me goosebumps.

“I felt demon energy in the corner over there. “Only those who believe in what I say should follow me.”

Baek Woo-jin ignored the flames and told the situation to the confused talented people and ran with all his might.

Without even waiting, Moon Ju-young immediately chased after Baek Woo-jin.

“Why is it going so fast?”

“The walking method changes every time I see it.”

Although none of the people here were below level 5, Baek Woo-jin’s speed was enough to surprise them all.

“Is it true that you felt demon energy?”

“Just in case, let’s go first.”

The talented people on standby also followed Baek Woo-jin.

* * *

“Stop that!”

Kang Hee-un, an employee of the guest house, screamed.

He was holding a blue kitchen knife and approaching the old couple who owned the guest house.

“please! “Stop it!”

But this was not of his own will.

A young man suddenly appeared and was taking control of his body.

“I’m just helping you reveal your true nature.”

The young man smiled innocently.

“please!”

Tears flowed from Kang Hee-un’s eyes.

He felt like he would rather die than stab the people he cared for like family with his own hands.

Quang!

When Kang Hee-woon’s kitchen knife reached the old couple, the door of the guest house was broken and Baek Woo-jin appeared.

puck!

Baek Woo-jin immediately grasped the situation and struck Kang Hee-un in the neck, knocking him out.

‘It’s not too late.’

It would be a shame to come right away after feeling the demonic energy. If we had listened to the monk’s words, we would all have died.

“What are you? How on earth…”

Killua turned his head to look at Baek Woo-jin.

Although he moved without anyone noticing, he couldn’t understand how that young human came to find him.

No matter how much I looked, it was impossible to understand myself using that human’s abilities.

Quaaaaa!

Baek Woo-jin rushed towards Killua without saying a word.

Angry auras surged from his entire body like a tidal wave.

“dare!”

Terrible magical energy spewed out from Killua’s hands without hesitation.

Kwaaaaaaaa!

The wall where Killua was standing exploded due to the clash between the Black King’s bullet and the demonic energy.

Coo coo coo coo.

Baek Woo-jin only focused the power of the Black King bullet forward, preventing the young man and old couple behind from getting hurt, and then pushed Killua out.

“Ugh…”

But the situation was not good.

It was only one clash, but my hands were shaking.

-That guy is intermediate. Stronger than you! Plus, that bracelet hasn’t been activated!

‘But you can’t wait for everyone to come!’

If you cannot save the person in front of you because you are afraid of dying, you are disqualified as a prosecutor.

If you hold on just a little longer, Moon Joo-young and other talented people will come.

“A human being who doesn’t even know the topic!”

Even larger magical energy stirred in Killua’s hand.

It was like seeing a huge rake.

Kwaaaaang!

Baek Woo-jin used the Black King Bullet with all his might and fired lightning bolts in succession, but was unable to completely erase the demonic energy.

Cheeeeee!

The black burning sword and Killua’s magical energy began to compete.

‘Shit! Why isn’t this activated!’

To be honest, I trusted the bracelet, but it only improved my senses, and other options were not working.

Coo coo coo coo.

Killua’s magical energy was gradually approaching Baek Woo-jin, pushing away the Dark Sword.

– Baek Woo-jin! Catch me!

As the darkness screamed, the Holy Spirit bracelet on Baek Woo-jin’s left arm radiated sacred light.
