Chapter 93
Episode 93. Arcane’s Request (4)
Pow!
Baek Woo-jin pierced the fire golem’s abdomen and shattered its core. The golem turned into black smoke and dispersed into the air.
“There is a strange feeling of pleasure in penetrating the center of the nucleus.”
-It will be of some help in training the sword.
Since Baek Woo-jin was only stabbing at the center of the core, he was contributing, albeit slightly, to the training of the true sword.
“Then let’s keep going up.”
There were mud golems and stone golems left at the bottom of the mountain, but Baek Woo-jin was only holding fire golems as he climbed up the mountain.
His eyes sparkled like someone looking for hidden treasure.
-Why do mountains burn?
“That’s…”
Baek Woo-jin stopped talking and looked back.
Because someone was coming this way.
“Prosecutor.”
The person who chased him was Baeun-seong, a level 7 swordsman and leader of the guardians on Artisan Island.
The two behind them were the guardians on the uninhabited island.
“There is no need to overdo it and only take charge of the fire golem.”
“yes?”
Baek Woo-jin did not understand Baek Eun-seong’s words and tilted his head.
“Aren’t you only dealing with fire golems for us?”
The eyes of Baeunseong Castle and its guardians were shining with emotion for Baek Woojin.
Baek Woo-jin left the stone golems and mud golems at the bottom of the mountain, which were relatively easy to catch, and only dealt with the fire golems on the mountain.
Even if you can destroy the core with a single sword and have high fire resistance, you cannot easily handle the heat of a fire golem.
Just as the combat uniform with elemental resistance effect was scorched and torn, Baek Woo-jin would also be in bad shape.
“We can deal with fire golems too. “There’s no need to push yourself too hard.”
Baeun-seong misunderstood that Baek Woo-jin only dealt with fire golems for the sake of the guardians.
Because they knew what kind of person Baek Woo-jin was on Craftsman’s Island, they thought that Baek Woo-jin was making a sacrifice.
“Hmm…”
Baek Woo-jin slightly closed his eyes and then opened them.
His eyes became as calm as a lake.
“it’s okay.”
“yes?”
“As you all know, I am strong against fire. I can endure this much. Do not worry.”
Baek Woo-jin smiled softly.
He made eye contact with the guardians and climbed up the mountain.
“You haven’t changed from when you were on the island.”
“yes? “You’ve become much stronger than then, right?”
“It’s not about force, it’s about character.”
Baeun-seong could not take his eyes off Baek Woo-jin’s back.
Even though Baek Woo-jin accumulated a lot of fame and skills, he did not become arrogant or arrogant.
It was the same as when he threw himself into it to save people from the island.
“It’s respectable.”
For the first time, Baeun-seong felt respect for someone younger than him.
* * *
-You cheater! How dare you deceive such innocent people!
‘If anyone hears it, they’ll think it’s a real scam.’
-You can’t see the core of mud golems or stone golems, so you only catch fire golems! Pretending to sacrifice that is fraud! What a scam!
The darkness was filled with excitement and flew in front of Baek Woo-jin.
-Also, when you touch the fire golem, you only get warm instead of getting burned, so why are you making that patient expression?
‘As expected, you can’t fool me.’
Baek Woo-jin laughed, snapping his fingers at Heuk-am.
As the darkness said, he was not affected at all by the fire golem’s flames, and it was right to only kill the fire golem for convenience.
‘But there’s no need to disappoint people who have touched you like that by telling them the truth.’
Baek Woo-jin recognized the thoughts of Baeun-seong and its guardians and made a small act. With an expression of enduring for the sake of others.
‘No one loses, so what’s good is good.’
-Keuung….
Darkness groaned.
‘By the way, it’s finally here. ‘It’s farther than I thought.’
Baek Woo-jin killed the three fire golems in front of him and looked down at the ground.
-What do you mean, we’re all here?
‘Can’t you feel it?’
-what?
‘Below here. ‘Something is asleep.’
From the first time I saw this place, I felt my heart racing.
Something related to flames was buried beneath this.
-Buried?
‘okay. It’s similar to a fire golem, but the pulse you feel is different. Looks like a fire golem boss.’
-There won’t be a golem boss… Wait a minute! Did you notice the guy down here and ask Kwon Ryong to score points on the boss as well?
‘of course.’
-I’m really sick of people like you…
I’m always amazed by Baek Woo-jin’s quickness, but today it was even worse.
He was sweeping through the first place he came to and was leisurely dealing with those stronger than him.
-Hmm….
Heukam felt a different emotion as he watched Baek Woojin rubbing his feet on the ground.
Baek Woo-jin was always the first to tell someone’s presence, but this time, Baek Woo-jin noticed something he couldn’t even feel.
I felt proud and a little disappointed at the same time.
-So you’re trying to wake it up?
‘of course.’
Baek Woo-jin nodded.
‘Regardless of the bet, you can’t leave a bomb that might explode at any moment.’
This place will be used as a workshop for arcane craftsmen in the future.
If you make a mistake and something underneath explodes, it will be a huge sacrifice.
-how?
“like this!”
Baek Woo-jin hit the ground with his right foot filled with aura.
Quaaaang!
A huge stamp was made on the ground and the surrounding trees shook violently, but there was no response.
-What are you doing?
“This isn’t working. Then next time.”
Red flames burned on Baek Woo-jin’s sword.
He thrust his sword towards the flames felt below.
thud!
When the flames reached the ground, Baek Woo-jin felt his heart fall.
Coo coo coo coo.
A huge tremor began to rise from the ground, like a volcano exploding.
-It was true! come!
“know.”
Even before the warning of darkness ended, the ground began to tear into pieces and collapse.
A flame that seemed to burn up even the atmosphere rose from the cracked ground.
Hahaha!
The flames that broke through the ground began to coalesce and form a shape.
Goooooh.
It looked similar to a golem, but was much larger, radiated stifling heat, and held three flame whips in its hands.
[Kaaaa!]
As the fire giant roared, a storm of flames rose up and trapped Baek Woo-jin.
-Ta Tantaros? Tantaros!
‘Tantaros?’
-It is the worst siege weapon created by the Empire and the magicians of the enemy tower! Why is that bomb here?!
Tantaros is a magic weapon created by wizards of the Red Tower hundreds of years ago.
It was huge, violent, and had great firepower, making it an extremely dangerous being.
-But that’s not why it’s called the worst.
“what?”
-Tantaros has three nuclei. If the core cannot be destroyed at the same time, a huge explosion will occur from its divided fragments and the body will regenerate!
Because the situation was urgent, the words of darkness were as fast as rapid fire.
-I woke you up by mistake. For now, step away. Before the flames of that storm become stronger….
“I heard the strategy, so it’s okay.”
As Baek Woo-jin grasped the sword tightly, a brain energy that bounced the air rose up from the Armin Sword.
“You said there were three nuclei, right?”
– No way!
“okay. “I can see everything.”
The female sword circled like a swallow and unleashed three slashes.
Quaaa!
The sword energy of Lightning Island became three thunderbolts and rushed into Tantaros’ head, shoulders, and navel.
-you idiot! They have to fly at the same time… Wow!
Seeing the flying sword of Lightning Island, the words of darkness stopped.
Baek Woo-jin’s first Lightning Island was slightly slow, the second Lightning Island was just average, and the third Lightning Island was slightly fast.
Quang!
Although three bullets hit Tantaros, the impact sound was heard only once.
It was the sound of three slashes going off at the same time.
Coo coo coo coo.
Tantaros was unable to swing the flame whip he had raised and his shoulder fell.
My knees collapsed and my left arm and head snapped off.
The three nuclei are precisely destroyed and undergo a process of extinction.
“I just tried it, and the time difference attack really worked.”
-That’s what talent is….
He said as he saw Tantaros collapsing into darkness.
All of Baek Woo-jin’s abilities have increased incomparably compared to before.
The technology that can be simulated in one’s head has become something that can be done in real life.
“Everyone was saying I was talented, so I too became successful.”
While Baek Woo-jin was laughing, a red gem in the shape of a heart fell from the air.
-Heart of Tantaros!
A treasure that could not be obtained even in the world of darkness was given into the hands of Baek Woo-jin.
* * *
“It’s been a while since I was provoked.”
Jeok Gyeong-hoon smiled and struck down three golems in one go.
I thought it didn’t matter how the bet turned out, but Baek Woo-jin’s secret made my blood boil for the first time in a long time.
“I can never lose like this… huh?”
Jeok Gyeong-hoon, who was about to climb to the top of the mountain, felt the vibration of the ground and turned his head.
Coo coo coo coo.
The ground where Baek Woo-jin was splitting open created a huge fire giant.
“What is that!”
The fire giant, who had never been seen before, roared like a mountain and trapped Baek Woo-jin in a firestorm.
‘That giant is out of standard! ‘You can never beat Baek Woo-jin!’
After opening all of Jeok Gyeong-hoon’s hidden auras, he used the lightning speed divine method.
His body became a beam of light and rushed into the firestorm.
“How could such a monster…”
Baeunseong Castle and its guardians searched this place three times, but they had never seen such a monster.
“Everybody get down!”
“yes?”
“You can’t stand it! “Go down!”
Baeunseong gave instructions to the guardians and moved alone.
Even Baek Woo-jin cannot withstand such flames and cannot penetrate them from the inside.
It must be opened from the outside.
“Ugh….”
Baeun-seong gritted his teeth.
It was so hot that it felt like it would burn like flesh just by getting close.
‘Damn, the firepower is stronger than I thought!’
It would take time to break that wall of fire alone.
But in the meantime, Baek Woo-jin will die.
“Guardian!”
As Baeun-seong was glaring at the wall of fire, Jeok Gyeong-hoon appeared.
“There is no time! We have to do it at the same time!”
Jeok Gyeong-hoon’s fists were stained blue.
“All right!”
Baunseong nodded and poured all his aura into the sword.
Cooooooo!
Without hesitation, the two unleashed their secret skills against the wall of fire.
Kwaaaaaaaa!
The wall of fire was torn apart, and Baek Woo-jin’s back appeared in the eyes of the two warriors.
“Baek Woo-jin! come out!”
“Prosecutor! Come over here!”
Jeok Gyeong-hoon and Baeun-seong called Baek Woo-jin and motioned for him to get out.
However, Baek Woo-jin glanced behind him, put his sword in its sheath, and stayed still.
“Hey, what are you doing! “Come out!”
“Prosecutor! hurry…. uh?”
The two people’s eyes went up when they heard the sound of something breaking.
Coo coo coo coo.
The fire giant’s body was turning into red sand and collapsing.
“What happened!”
Jeok Gyeong-hoon’s hand clenched into a fist trembled without realizing it.
‘You caught that giant in this short amount of time? ‘Is that possible?’
Even if you fight with all your might, it is impossible to take down that giant so quickly.
‘What on earth is this guy?…’
Baek Woo-jin quickly caught the fire giant, who was much weaker than himself but had no strategy. And without any damage.
I would never have believed it if I hadn’t seen it in person.
“Are you okay?”
The wall of flames went out and Baek Woo-jin approached Baek Woo-jin with a horrified expression.
“are you okay. “There were no injuries.”
“Huh…”
I looked at Baek Woo-jin’s whole body, but other than minor burns, I couldn’t see any wounds.
I was really glad, but honestly, I was dumbfounded.
“What happened inside?”
“I caught it with my sword energy while enduring its flames.”
“Ah…”
Baek Woo-jin’s simple words left the two 7th grade warriors with their mouths wide open in shock.
-That’s true. It’s true enough to make me want to beat him up…
Baek Woo-jin’s terrible resistance to fire properties protected him from the flames of Tantaros.
There were no minor injuries, just a slight tan.
“Senior Kwon Ryong.”
Baek Woo-jin raised his index finger, calling out to Jeok Gyeong-hoon, whose eyes were half-open.
“This guy has 100 points, right?”
