I Became a Renowned Family’s Sword Prodigy

Episode 218 Ssak3

“Look at this guy?”

Baek Woo-jin did not go in right away, but looked down the entrance and smiled.

At the bottom of the opening was a thread so thin that it was barely visible to the eye.

It was a trap that sent a signal to the Muyoungguin inside the moment they touched that thread while coming in.

-The trap is a bit clumsy.

“That’s why it’s so easy to spot.”

Baek Woo-jin felt strange when he saw this clumsy trap.

Muyounggaek is a pro when it comes to stealing. There was no way a guy like that could have set up such an easy trap.

“Perhaps…”

I looked inside the trap. Beyond the thread, three even thinner black threads hung where one could step.

-That’s right!

“I knew it.”

Muyeonggaek deliberately created an eye-catching trap and set it up so that it would hit the trap behind it. He was still a great guy.

“Anyway, he’s a humble guy.”

Baek Woo-jin clicked his tongue and crossed the second thread into the cave. Perhaps because we had reached a certain level, the dark interior was clearly visible as if a light had been turned on.

“Do you want me to be surprised that this happened?”

Baek Woo-jin used the Sleep Dragon Spirit to go down the cave, erasing his presence and presence.

-I’ve installed a lot of them.

In addition to thread traps, various traps were installed inside the cave. Of course, Baek Woo-jin did not fall into a single trap.

-Is it Jin this time?

A space about the size of a small room appeared, and when I looked down, there was a fantasy circle installed.

“It looks like it was originally a barrier, not a jinn.”

Looking closely at the floor, it seemed like the original barrier had been erased and a new barrier had been installed. Of course, it is obvious that the guy who did that was Mu Younggaek.

-He’s a persistent guy.

“If it comes out like this, you have to go through it no matter what. “Let’s see what he’s going to do.”

Baek Woo-jin smiled and entered the camp.

**

“Hmm?”

Muyounggaek looked back without realizing it. It wasn’t an alarm, but I felt an itchy feeling in the back of my head that I didn’t know what it was.

“No one can pass through that many traps without making a sound.”

If you add up the traps and alarm methods that were set just in case, there are more than dozens. The only person who can pass through it without being detected is either a military god or a great swordsman.

“I’m still anxious. “Can’t it be done sooner?”

Muyeong-gaek whetted his appetite while looking at the black beads in the transparent water.

In fact, this plan started four months ago. I wanted to take the black neck, but there were a lot of eyes watching and it was so big that there was no way to take it.

‘So I thought the opposite way.’

While plotting a plan to target the roots of the black tree in the ground instead of the giant black tree in front of me, I accidentally discovered this tunnel.

Very slowly exploring the tunnel, I reached this final room and found that orb.

“It was really terrible at first.”

The bead that served as fertilizer for the black tree was flowing with a terrible energy that took my breath away.

A month has passed since I removed the poison by adding holy water and curse removal items to erase the terrible energy.

Thanks to that time of patience, the purification had progressed to the point where the beads could be collected by removing just a little more poison.

Koaaa!

Muyeonggaek poured holy water and curse removal items into the basin containing the beads. If everything went according to plan, I would be able to pick up the beads today.

“But why does the back of my head itch so much yesterday and today?”

Since last night, the back of my head has been strangely itchy. Something didn’t feel right.

“You’re sure he’s not back, right?”

Muyeonggaek felt uneasy and poured all the holy water he had into the basin.

Quaaaaa!

Then, a silver radiance erupted from the basin, and the color of the black beads began to change to brown.

“done! it’s okay!”

Muyounggaek jumped up and down like a child who received a gift. It seemed like the fruits of four months of waiting were just around the corner.

“The long wait has borne fruit….”

“What is this?”

As Muyounggaek was grinning, someone’s low voice was heard from behind him.

“Kwaaaaaak!”

Muyounggaek let out a torn scream and fell to the ground. I was so shocked that I had no idea what to do and my legs gave out.

“Huh! “Oh, prosecutor!”

I slowly turned my head, clashing my upper and lower teeth. Baek Woo-jin, the worst person who should not be here, was there smiling brightly.

“Um, when did you come? And how did we get here….”

“I came looking for you because I couldn’t even come.”

“Ah…”

Muyounggaek’s jaw dropped open as if it would fall off. As expected, this person was a ghost that he couldn’t handle.

“Are you guilty? “Why are you so embarrassed?”

“I didn’t commit a crime. haha!”

Muyoung-gaek rolled his eyes and touched the back of his head.

‘shit! ‘I should have run away earlier!’

The feeling in the back of my head was right. My head was filled with regret that I should have run away when the back of my head tickled.

“Why did someone who didn’t commit a crime set a trap at the entrance?”

“Uh…”

Muyounggaek was speechless.

“And what is this that you call the fruit of waiting?”

Baek Woo-jin’s eyes lit up as he looked at the yellow beads in the basin.

“That…”

Muyounggaek’s head began to spin violently like a washing machine. And I found the best answer to get out of this crisis.

“I prepared this for you, prosecutor!”

“For me?”

“yes! This is a treasure prepared for the prosecutor who will return someday. As if my wind had reached the sky, you have finally returned!”

Mu Young-gaek put his hands together as if at a crossroads and made an ecstatic expression.

-It’s terrible.

Heukam burst into laughter as he saw Muyounggaek’s suddenly changed expression.

“It’s funny and embarrassing. “I must have found this bead while trying to collect the black tree roots by myself.”

“No! “I’m sorry!”

Muyounggaek screamed and fell flat on his face. As expected, he was like a ghost to recognize his own lies at a glance.

“You said you washed your hands, but when are you going to change that habit? “Why are you digging a tunnel alone while others are struggling outside?”

“The tunnel was dug from the beginning…”

“It’s noisy. So what on earth is this bead?”

“It’s a bead that was hanging over the root of the phu. Apparently, it was used as fertilizer for the black tree… Wait a minute! Do not touch it carelessly! There is still a curse…”

“Curse?”

Baek Woo-jin held the bead and shook it as if there was no problem. From the first time I saw it, I didn’t feel any curse or dark energy about this bead.

“I can’t feel anything?”

“Are you sure?”

“That’s right.”

Not only was there a curse, but I didn’t feel any special mana either. As Baek Woo-jin was about to take a closer look at the marble, a message appeared before his eyes.

Ding!

[I came into contact with the rosary that became the fertilizer of the corrupted World Tree.]

[The energy of the World Tree fruit purifies and absorbs the energy of the rosary.]

Baek Woo-jin had nothing to do, and the energy of the World Tree fruit remaining in his body was absorbed into the beads. The remaining energy was sucked out.

Ding!

[Dark adaptation trait has been created.]

[Mana ability has increased.]

[Five-star ability has increased.]

[Sleep Dragon Soul level has increased.]

‘Wow…’

Baek Woo-jin swallowed dry saliva. Just by touching the bead, his abilities increased, new characteristics emerged, and he even rose to the level of the Sleeping Dragon Soul.

Coincidence and serendipity overlapped to create a reward that was truly unimaginable. It was to the point where I lost my mind.

-Suddenly give away his abilities because he did something! It’s so improbable!

The darkness struck the ground as if it made no sense. I couldn’t help but curse at the thought of giving such a reward to someone who did nothing. It seemed like they cared for me even more crazily since I left the continent.

“Prosecutor?”

Muyoung-gaek tilted his head. Because there was no light or any reaction, he did not know that the rosary gave Baek Woo-jin strength.

‘I could use this.’

Baek Woo-jin saw Mu Young-gaek’s bewildered expression and was convinced that he did not know what had happened to him.

“Take it.”

“Why are you giving me this…”

Baek Woo-jin threw the rosary to Mu Young-gaek with an expression of great generosity. Muyounggaek received the rosary with a puzzled face.

“I’ll give this back. However, if you do something like this again, you will be severely beaten and expelled.”

“Are you serious?”

“okay. “This is your last chance.”

“thank you! I will never do something like this again in the future! never!”

Muyoung-gaek fell down and hit his head on the floor.

-Are you the devil?

Darkness stuck out its tongue. Baek Woo-jin won Mu Young-gaek’s loyalty with an empty bead. He was a guy that I couldn’t keep up with.

‘This guy fooled me first.’

Baek Woo-jin chuckled. That cowardly guy who tried to keep the treasure for himself needs to be picked on.

“I’ll go first, so get organized and come out.”

“Thank you!”

Baek Woo-jin waved his hand and headed outside first.

“I can’t believe you were such a generous person…”

Moo Young-gaek lowered his head at a 90-degree angle toward Baek Woo-jin’s back with tears in his eyes. I was truly grateful that he understood my unavoidable nature.

I promised myself that from now on I would only listen to his orders.

“Hmm, but why does this suddenly look so bad?”

Muyounggaek looked at the empty rosary and cooed. Just a moment ago, it clearly had the scent of treasure, but now it seemed ordinary.

“Oh, I guess it’s my mood.”

Muyounggaek took the beads in his arms and ran to Baek Woojin.

“let’s go together!”

**

As soon as Baek Woo-jin came up from the tunnel, he went to the commander’s office.

“Are you planning to go back?”

“Because I have a lot of work piled up.”

“okay. “I thought so.”

Hwang Byeong-hun looked at Baek Woo-jin and nodded.

“Maybe it’s because of you, but there are a lot of people who want to go back.”

“I’m going to be leaving a lot, do you mind?”

“Of course it’s okay. In fact, there was a surplus of manpower.”

Currently, there were more capable people on the front line than necessary. Since Baek Woo-jin has returned, considering the talented players who are leaving, the appropriate number of players will be adjusted.

“Commander, will you still be here?”

“Where can I go at this age? “I plan to bury my bones here.”

“As expected…”

I was truly impressed. Although he lost one arm, his passion and determination did not diminish one bit.

“What about your brother?”

“I should be here too. Because the commander is an idiot. “I have to take care of it.”

Baek Yeon-hwi’s tone was noticeably softer than before. With the black neck and dark zone removed, I felt like my mind had relaxed a lot.

“men and horses! “You’re the fool!”

“yes. “I’m a fool too, but the commander is a lot dumber than me.”

Hwang Byeong-hun and Baek Yeon-hwi laughed and made fun of each other, calling each other stupid. It almost seemed like a father-son relationship between Hwang Byeong-hun and Baek Yeon-hwi, not Baek Cheon-hwa.

“I plan to stay here a little longer and then go.”

Yoon Woo-min, who was sitting on the sofa and enjoying tea, smiled.

“Because the number of monsters has decreased a lot, it is perfect for training Geunho and Unitas children.”

“I heard Jeong Geun-ho is challenging me again.”

“The bigger the dream, the better.”

Yoon Woo-min shook his head and laughed. Unless a miracle happens, Jeong Geun-ho will never catch up with Baek Woo-jin.

“I will go with you.”

Baek Cheon-woong looked at the others one by one and stood up. He is worried about Baek Woo-jin and the medical school and wants to move together.

“Um…”

“Goodbye.”

“Let’s get together again later.”

Everyone knew Baek Cheon-woong’s feelings, so they let him go without saying anything.

“Woojin.”

“yes?”

“There is more than just a medical examiner’s table behind you. “I said it as a joke, but if you become dangerous, everyone who was here that day will run for you.”

Hwang Byeong-hun looked at Baek Woo-jin with serious eyes.

“Me too. “If anything happens, contact me right away.”

“I meant it when I said I would stand behind you at a bar before. “Tell me whenever you need it.”

Yoon Woo-min looked at Baek Woo-jin with deepened eyes, and Baek Yeon-hwi smiled while touching the hair below her ear. Both of them were ready to go anywhere at any time for Baek Woo-jin.

“thank you.”

Just hearing their words gave me a feeling of elation, as if my heart was full.

“Then let’s go.”

Baek Woo-jin bowed his head to everyone and left the room. Everyone followed him out to see him off.

“It’s out!”

“Bye!”

“You’ve worked hard so far!”

“Thank you for saving me!”

When I left the commander’s building, all the frontline talents were gathered.

Less evil!

The talented people at the front gave their final greetings by tapping their left chest twice with their right fists.

“See you again!”

Baek Woo-jin smiled and patted his left chest, his heart burning hotly.

**

“You’ve changed.”

As soon as Baek Woo-jin returned to Baek House, he felt that the gaze of the family’s prosecutors had changed.

“You’re treating me like I barely know you.”

Baek Cheon-woong must have felt that too, and his expression frowned.

“It must be because of my father.”

I thought they would give a normal reaction even if they weren’t happy, but the prosecutors only bowed their heads perfunctorily. It was obvious that it was because of the confrontation with my father that occurred on the front line.

-Wow, it’s really boring.

‘I need to meet you sometime.’

Baek Woo-jin ordered the medical team to rest and went to Gajujeon with Baek Cheon-woong.

“He’s out on the road right now.”

However, Baek Cheon-hwa was not there when Gajujeon visited, and only Kim Jae-hwan guarding the door remained.

“He left, saying he would be training after returning from the front.”

“Where?”

“I don’t know because you went alone with the Black Sword Master.”

“Hmm…”

Baek Woo-jin looked at Kim Jae-hwan’s face. His eyes didn’t change, as if he really didn’t know.

“i get it.”

Baek Woo-jin and Baek Cheon-woong went to the family battle.

“Where did they go?”

“I don’t know either. “Suddenly training…”

Baek Cheon-woong also shook his head. Although the family head had a separate training center, I had no idea where they would go to train.

-Is that person training?

‘I don’t know what you’re thinking.’

I felt a little uneasy because my father going outside at this moment was something that had never happened in his previous life.

‘I’m a little anxious.’

-Don’t worry about what you don’t know, just do your job. I won’t suddenly appear and throw a sword at you.

‘That’s right.’

Baek Woo-jin nodded. My father is also my father, but since he returned after 5 months, there was a lot to find out.

“I need to gather information I haven’t heard before.”

“information?”

“yes.”

Baek Woo-jin took out his cell phone and made a call.

“There are people who are the best when it comes to information.”

**

“I’m so glad! really!”

Yoo Jin-ah, Black Market’s deputy general manager, approached with wet eyes.

“Long time no see.”

Baek Woo-jin contacted Yoo Jin-ah to get information, and she readily gave up her time.

“I heard that the deputy chief of staff also came to the front line. thank you.”

“It’s not something that deserves to be greeted.”

Eugene shook his head. Baek Woo-jin is the person who created his current position. I was rather sorry that I could not remain at the front lines.

“The coffee still tastes good.”

Baek Woo-jin laughed while drinking the bitter yet savory coffee that Yoo Jin-ah had made. Like her personality, the taste of coffee was very consistent.

“You contacted me as soon as you came back, so you came here because you missed me, right?”

“Well, there’s that too.”

“You’re getting more and more sly.”

Yoo Jin-ah glared at Baek Woo-jin with a smiling face and held out the documents from under the desk.

“I thought you might be looking for information so I prepared it in advance.”

“As expected, you are amazing.”

I was impressed with Yu Jin-ah, who had prepared such materials even though it had not been long since I returned.

“It’s no big deal. “I prepared only the things the prosecutor needed, so it’s not that much.”

“thank you.”

Baek Woo-jin nodded and opened the document. The first was about large monsters.

“Large monster?”

“Monsters much larger than before began to appear in the city. “These are monsters that appear from the front or are ones I’ve never seen before.”

I looked at pictures of monsters while listening to Eugene’s words. There were pictures of large monsters at the front and monsters I had never seen before.

-Is the Camman centipede an orca spider? They’re dirty guys….

‘Is something else starting?’

In my previous life, there had never been a large monster appear during this time. It seemed like the future had changed again.

“This is information that came out yesterday, and it is said that a huge forest has appeared in the Sahara Desert and several monsters are appearing within the forest.”

“The Sahara Desert?”

“yes. So, we are giving permission to enter the forest to talented people. “Please take care of it.”

“It’s a huge forest in the desert…”

It seemed like it wasn’t cleaned up properly after the crack change occurred. Although such a place is dangerous, there is a high possibility of good rewards due to the presence of special monsters.

“The last piece of information is related to the prosecutor. “It was a while ago, though.”

“What is it?”

“It’s a bit hard to say it directly, but you have a lot of enemies.”

“You can say it directly. Because it’s true.”

It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that they were enemies if you turned your head, not to a large extent.

“When the prosecutor went to the front lines, there was a movement from several guilds to chase him. “The incident happened before I could organize it for you.”

“Where is it?”

“It seemed like the criminal side was trying to make a move at the Zenon Lucas Grand Gate, and the medium to large-scale criminal guild was also preparing assassins.”

-There are a lot of them. Enemies are everywhere.

“It’s not just one or two.”

Baek Woo-jin chuckled as he flipped through the documents. In fact, it wasn’t just there. In addition, there were Baek Sung-hyun and Baek So-hee.

“Now that the news is spreading that the prosecutor has returned, there is a possibility that they will move again.”

“Hmm…”

While Baek Woo-jin was looking at a map of the Sahara Desert, a good idea suddenly occurred to him.

“It’s just right.”

“yes?”

“Please spread a rumor quietly.”

“What rumor?”

“As soon as Baek Woo-jin returns, he goes to the Sahara Desert to clean up monsters.”

“Uh, then…”

Baek Woo-jin laughed, pressing his finger on the Sahara Desert on the map.

“While I am reaping the rewards of the desert, I will also sweep away all the troublesome things at once.”
