I Became a Renowned Family’s Sword Prodigy

Episode 193 A sword that splits dimensions

– what does that mean?

The darkness shot out in front of Baek Woo-jin like a bullet.

“I saw it in your memory. “Don’t you remember?”

– Do you remember? My memory?

“When I removed Caliburn and the spirit beast and entered your memories, there were people similar to the dark elves I saw today.”

-ah!

Darkness jumped up like a startled cat. Now I understand what Baek Woo-jin is talking about.

“At that time, you were confronting beautiful-looking monsters with black skin and claws and teeth sticking out like beasts.”

-okay. Those guys!

“The difference is that the black and white of the eyes haven’t changed. “The pupils were the same, dilated like rotten eyes.”

Baek Woo-jin was convinced that the monsters he saw in Memories of Darkness and the dark elves he saw today were similar. Except for the color of the eyes, everything else was very similar.

“I said I saw it somewhere from the beginning, but I saw it in your memory.”

-her!

Darkness burst out laughing and looked at Baek Woo-jin. I was impressed by his observation skills that allowed him to notice things that even he himself couldn’t remember properly.

-I should have known first, I’m embarrassed.

“Your memories have been sealed, so it’s no wonder you don’t notice them.”

The memories of darkness were mercilessly torn and split, so his mind was a mess. It won’t be easy to remember them.

-Why are you saying that?

“You have to protect what needs to be protected.”

Baek Woo-jin grinned. To Darkness, lost memories are as important as one’s goals. I had no intention of making fun of him for something like that.

-Umm….

Darkness seemed embarrassed to say thank you, so it turned around and cooed.

“Anyway, I think it’s quite possible that the monsters you saw in your memories are the dark elves you saw today.”

-My thoughts are the same.

“If the dark elves are the ones you saw in your memories, there may be some relationship between your past, the continent you were on, and this world.”

I thought that if things went well here, I could regain my memories of darkness and find out what happened in this world and the other world.

-I can’t believe I’m seeing them here…

He must have been so excited that his voice in the dark trembled like a plucked guitar string.

“But don’t expect too much, because I’m not sure.”

-Am I the kid from the day before the picnic? Of course I know.

“First of all, in order to obtain certain information, we will have to kill the elites and clear the fog in the Dark Zone.”

-Ultimately, we will have to cut down the tree called Black Tree to find any clues.

Darkness sighed as he looked at the gray smoke outside the window.

“The good news is that you have the ability to do it.”

-You mean dimensional interference? In fact, with that ability, you could catch the dark elves fleeing across dimensions and remove the root of the black tree.

“You and I are the only people here who can do that. “We have to do it.”

Baek Woo-jin looked at the darkness and his eyes shined sharply.

Ding!

[A new quest has arrived.]

[Forgotten Victory]

The talented people on the front lines are tired of endless battles and a situation with no bright future in sight. Use your power to raise a new banner of hope for them.

Quest Goal: Eliminate elite dark elves and purify one Dark Zone area.

Quest reward: 2000 points.

“It’s been a while since I did a quest. “It’s the right goal at the right moment.”

-Um, are you only giving points? The compensation is appropriate.

“uh? “That statement.”

-speaking?

“That statement is dangerous.”

-What what?

“I’m not going to end it just because you said it was appropriate.”

Baek Woo-jin accepted the quest and smiled. I didn’t think the system of living with the pleasure of making fun of darkness would just pass by.

-Do not be ridiculous! There is only one reward and what else are you giving?

“Well, that’s for later. “Please appraise this first.”

Baek Woo-jin took out a green bead to the angry Dark One. This is a bead from the head of a crane fish.

-There was that too. Anyway, he’s like a straw that always skips anything that benefits him.

“Because I understand. “Let me feel it so I can suck it up.”

-Phew….

Darkness covered the bead held out by Baek Woo-jin with its own aura.

[Crine Fish’s Prayer Beads]

Grade: Unique.

It is a bead filled with the heat of a crane fish. If a wizard owns it, the attack power and sustainability of fire attribute magic becomes stronger.

-Oh my! It was an item that only wizards could use? It would be a shame!

Darkness giggled and laughed when he saw that the rosary was an item for wizards.

“Hmm…”

Baek Woo-jin read the explanation of the prayer beads, touched the beads, and nodded. When he stretched out his hand, an Ignis the size of a dog jumped out with a whooping sound.

-Why are you suddenly calling Ignis?

“I asked you to absorb the energy in the orb.”

-Will that work?

“You never know.”

[Heung.]

Baek Woo-jin took the bead to Ignis. Ignis stretched his nose as if smelling a bead.

[Kyaow!]

“Huh?”

Ignis put the whole marble into his mouth. I swallowed it like the chicken I always ate.

[Kyaaaah!]

Balsam-colored flames bloomed all over Ignis. The guy seemed to be in a good mood and jumped around like a child who received a gift.

Ding!

[Ignis’ fire attribute energy has increased significantly.]

Ding!

[Fire property sensitivity has increased.]

[Fire property resistance has increased.]

Not only Ignis but Baek Woo-jin’s abilities have also increased. As the spirit grows, its sensitivity and resistance also increase.

-Ugh! Does it make sense for a spirit to eat a bead? Even if it were possible, why are you taking care of this guy?

Darkness glared at the message window like an enemy and screamed. Baek Woo-jin patted the darkness and smiled.

“After all, your mouth is my luck.”

* * *

“The weather is the same every day.”

Baek Woo-jin frowned as he left the dorm. The weather was always cloudy ahead due to the fog in the gray zone.

“Prosecutor.”

Cale, who was sitting in the lobby of the hotel, got up and approached me.

“Why are you here?”

“I was waiting for the prosecutor.”

“me?”

“yes.”

Cale handed out a document to Baek Woo-jin.

“This is a certificate of completion of practical adaptation training. “You don’t have to come to actual training in the future.”

“I didn’t go out originally.”

“Hmm, anyway, there is a procedure.”

“That’s right. thank you.”

Baek Woo-jin nodded and received the documents.

“Instead, you should attend theory training.”

“Don’t worry about that.”

“Then I’ll see you later this afternoon. I’m done…”

“Baek Woo-jin!”

As Cale was about to return, a woman shouted Baek Woo-jin’s name at the entrance of the dorm.

“huh?”

Baek Woo-jin and Cale’s heads turned at the same time. A tall beauty with blond hair and blue eyes was approaching. His arms and legs were full of big and small wounds, as if he had been through many battles.

“I heard that you cut down a crane fish with one sword and killed three dark elves. “I challenge you to a duel!”

“Eh? me?”

The woman raised her sword. However, the person she pointed to was not Baek Woo-jin, but Moo Young-gaek, who was searching the lobby for items to steal.

“My lord. It’s not him. “It’s over there.”

Another female prosecutor behind her turned the blonde woman’s body to face Baek Woo-jin.

“Okay, let’s do it all again. I am Karen, the leader of the 2nd Block Blue Swordsman. Baek Woo-jin! “I challenge you to a duel!”

The blonde woman raised her sword again with an embarrassed expression.

“Karen?”

“I am the commander-in-chief’s daughter. “When I hear that I am a strong person, I am a fighting spirit who challenges anyone.”

Cale walked up to Baek Woo-jin and whispered to him.

“Of the Commander-in-Chief?”

Baek Woo-jin looked at Karen with an expression of surprise. Karen appeared to be pure white, not mixed race. In addition, something was strange because King Chang was known to have never been married.

“I guess it doesn’t matter. “Because it’s best to ignore a fool.”

-for a moment.

When Baek Woo-jin tried to ignore Karen, darkness stopped him.

-It wouldn’t be a bad idea to fight that woman once.

‘why?’

-That woman is learning the tricks of the sword that you don’t have.

‘What about the sword I don’t have?’

-It is a sword. When that woman extended her sword at the martial arts hero, her aura rotated precisely. You will have a good experience, so give it a try.

‘Hmm…’

When Baek Woo-jin was looking at Karen’s sword, a hologram window appeared in front of his eyes.

Ding!

[An unexpected quest has arrived.]

Learn the new swordsmanship attribute Wagum through sparring with Karen.

Condition: Master the techniques of the Wagum.

Reward: 1800 point sudden reward.

-You’re giving me this as a quest?

‘I didn’t mean to do it. After all, you feed me.’

-shut up!

Darkness had been screaming since morning, and Baek Woo-jin grinned and made eye contact with Karen.

“good. “Let’s stick together.”

* * *

Baek Woo-jin and Karen stood facing each other in the center of the training center.

“Hmph.”

Karen hummed and warmed up as if she was happy that Baek Woo-jin accepted her challenge.

“Let’s get started right away.”

Baek Woo-jin turned his shoulders and turned his head to Cale, who was in charge of refereeing.

“Karen. Are you ready?”

“whenever.”

Karen held the sword lightly and nodded.

“Any attack that could cause serious injury is not allowed. Please keep in mind that this is a sparring match, not a matter of life or death.”

“Because we all know this. “Start quickly.”

“Ha, I understand. “Sparring begins!”

At Karen’s urging, Cale lowered his hand and fell back.

Teuong!

As soon as the opening sound ended, Karen rushed at Baek Woo-jin with a blue aura on her sword.

Kyaaaang!

Baek Woo-jin used the sword technique to strike Karen’s sword away. I struck her sword as if it would break it, but Karen’s sword was barely pushed back.

‘Is that a wagum?’

The auror wrapped around her sword was spinning intensely like a waterspout. That rotational force bounced off his sword and aura. It was like stabbing a sword into the sea with strong waves.

“It’s not enough!”

Karen grinned and raised her sword diagonally. The auror wearing her sword tore the air apart and aimed at Baek Woo-jin’s chest.

Kyaang! Kya gya gya!

Baek Woo-jin injected a thick aura into the Armin Sword to block Karen’s strong attack. Her skin tingled with each blade contact as her auras spun frantically.

‘I understand now.’

Baek Woo-jin clashed swords with Karen and gained some insight into what kind of sword technique Wagum was.

‘Auror rotation. The attack is deflected by rotating the auror to fit the frame.’

-right. A whirlpool. By applying various types of rotations to the sword-clad auror, you can perform powerful attacks and defenses. Wageom, like Paegeom, is a technique used by higher-level swords.

Just as the darkness said, the aura flowing from Karen’s sword was rotating in various directions to block her attacks and make bizarre attacks.

‘but. It’s not hard to break.’

Karen is weaker than herself. If you capture the techniques of using a sword or a broken sword, you can break her swordsmanship right now.

But that’s not what I want now. It was important to identify and understand Wagum.

[The flow-seeing eye is activated.]

Baek Woo-jin struck down Karen’s sword aimed at his uvula and observed the flow of the Auror rotation carried by her sword.

‘The rotation is varied. Not only left and right, but also diagonally up and down.’

-The characteristic of Wagum is that it creates a vortex that suits the situation.

‘I can see better now.’

Thanks to my eyes for seeing the flow, I began to see the flow of Aura created by Karen clearly.

“what. Is it weaker than you think? Didn’t you eat breakfast? “Go for it properly!”

“You came here before you even had breakfast.”

“Then finish and eat. “A morning of defeat!”

Karen must have thought that her swordsmanship was working well, so she struck Baek Woo-jin with an even stronger rotation. It was an attack full of confidence and pride.

‘found.’

Baek Woo-jin’s eyes shone a dazzling blue color. Little by little, the rules of Karen’s aura rotation began to become familiar.

Chaaaang!

Baek Woo-jin started sparring and made the first move. He thrust his sword toward the vortex of aura created by Karen.

“Huh!”

Karen’s face was colored with astonishment. Baek Woo-jin’s sword, which had been lightly flicked until now, began to pierce the rotation of the aura he had created.

“That’s ridiculous!”

Karen’s blue eyes shook violently. The blue spear sword that he had trained his entire life was shaking wildly, against his will.

It is not broken by force. Baek Woo-jin was using the rotation of the sword in reverse.

Coo coo coo coo.

The whirlpool of blue aura created by Karen and the aura of Lasadum released by Baek Woo-jin were mixed.

Whoa!

With the loud sound of hundreds of metals snapping, the sword energy of the blue spear sword created by Karen was completely erased and her sword flew far away.

“Ah…”

A moan escaped Karen’s tightly closed lips. I couldn’t believe that I wasn’t pushed by force, but by the swordsmanship itself.

“What the hell….”

“It’s not over yet.”

Baek Woo-jin moved behind the embarrassed Karen and hit her on the back of the head.

Pow!

Karen hit her head on the dirt and lost consciousness.

“Huh!”

“The winner was decided so quickly?”

“If you win, you win. “I never thought the blue spear sword would break at all…”

The faces of Kale and Karen’s subordinates turned pale. Baek Woo-jin wins. Even so, I never imagined that the blue spear sword created by the commander-in-chief would break like that.

‘The swordsmanship itself was excellent, but the order placement was immature.’

-Did you notice it too?

‘okay. The flow changes in this order: clockwise for the first time, counterclockwise for the second time, top left to bottom right for the third time.’

Baek Woo-jin used his ability to see the flow and figured out the order in which Karen’s aura rotated.

-Anyway, I’m quick to notice.

‘But the quest wasn’t broken.’

-of course. I told you to learn the tricks of the sword. It’s not enough to take advantage of the gap and destroy it.

‘Then I guess I’ll have to fight a few more times.’

Baek Woo-jin saw Karen on the ground. I think I’ll have to spar with her a few more times until I master the Wagum.

“There are no separate men and women for you.”

Baek Yeon-hwi approached Karen, who had collapsed. At his gesture, Karen’s men dragged her away.

“If he had asked to fight, he would have prepared for that much. But she’s the commander’s daughter?”

“She is the commander’s foster daughter.”

“I guess it was like that.”

“The commander said before that there are people here who are crazy about fighting, right? That kid is there. “We fight here and there every day.”

“Is there a reason?”

Baek Yeon-hwi nodded. His eyes sank darkly.

“That child lost his biological parents to monsters right before his eyes. I’m pushing myself for that revenge. “In order to become stronger, we fight regardless of whether we are humans or monsters.”

“Hmm…”

Baek Woo-jin licked his lips at the bitterness he felt on the tip of his tongue.

After hearing her story, I understood why she came and tried to fight and why she was so hurt.

“If you have time, talk to me at least occasionally. His swordsmanship is an advanced swordsmanship in which the commander changed his spearmanship into swordsmanship. “It will help you too.”

“Sure.”

Baek Woo-jin nodded. I was planning on fighting Karen a few more times anyway. His swordsmanship skills are quite good, so he will be of help to himself.

“Hmm…”

Baek Yeon-hwi looked at Baek Woo-jin as if he was surprised. The expression on his face was that he didn’t expect me to say yes.

“Why are you surprised when your brother asks you to deal with him?”

“…no.”

Baek Yeon-hwi scratched the hair below her ears and turned her head.

“Is the meeting over?”

“okay. They also said that the movements of elites in other blocks were unusual. “It seems like the elites are trying to expand the dark zone.”

“Where are you aiming?”

“I don’t know that. Because they are the ones who use Seongdonggyeokseo like they breathe it. So this time we decided to push forward.”

Baek Yeon-hwi clenched his fists as he looked at the gray fog that was swirling around.

“Pushing in?”

“okay. “Six blocks moved at once to push the monsters in the gray zone to the front of the dark zone, and the scout master with special detection abilities decided to search for the entity you mentioned.”

“What if the elite dark elves move?”

“In order to prevent that, high-ranking talents will also move separately. So…”

Baek Yeon-hwi turned his head and made eye contact with Baek Woo-jin.

“Can you participate in the battle too?”

“Are you asking for my opinion rather than telling me to participate?”

“Because you are still in the adjustment period.”

“I don’t know if it’s flexible or not.”

-Is this your brother, Baek? Is it unusual?

‘I know.’

Baek Woo-jin chuckled. Until now, I felt that Baek Yeon-Hwi was a person who did not fit in with the Baek family any more than himself.

“I will participate.”

Baek Woo-jin looked at Baek Yeon-hwi and nodded.

When the opportunity to complete the quest presented itself, there was no reason to turn it down. There was one more really important reason.

‘Because I have to break through the dark zone and give my father a big piece of taffy.’
