Episode 209 Ifrit
“Wow...”
Sylvia trembled in shock. Boran’s divine sword, which had slaughtered hundreds of strong men, was no match for Baek Woo-jin’s small sword.
Boran constantly attacked with bursts of light from his divine sword, but his attacks were not successful even once.
Instead of succeeding, every time the swords clashed, I couldn’t control my body and fell back.
“How could something like that happen...”
Compared to Boran’s dazzlingly powerful strength, Baek Woo-jin’s strength was thin and his swordsmanship’s trajectory was honest. However, it was Baek Woo-jin, not Boran, who secured the victory.
“That is a proper prosecutor.”
“yes?”
“That guy created his own sword technique by repeating simple sword techniques tens or hundreds of thousands of times. On the other hand, that devil’s sword skills are all someone else’s. Now you won’t even remember what your original swordsmanship was.”
Tycoon gave Baek Woo-jin a look of admiration and clicked his tongue as he looked at Boran.
“Oh no!”
Sylvia screamed when she saw Boran’s sword soaring all the way to the sky. It was the secret skill of the divine sword that killed hundreds of warriors at once.
“Ugh...”
Dapp clenched his fists and widened his eyes. That’s the technology. My father and most of the castle’s vassals lost their lives due to that technique.
“please please!”
I prayed to God, no, to Baek Woo-jin. Please win. I prayed that the White Sea would be cut down.
Sigh!
I heard the sound of the world splitting apart.
The white river that covered the heavens and earth was split in half by the black river.
**
‘What is it?’
Boran didn’t understand what he was seeing right now.
I tried to use the Shingeom’s strongest secret technique, White Sea Bomb, to erase the arrogant human and Linden Castle at once.
However, as if time had stopped, Baekhaepok could not even move his body.
Sigh!
With the sound of leather being torn, the White Sea split in half.
The powerful wave that would engulf the world was split by a single black line.
The river, split in half, lost its strength and disappeared in thin air.
“Ugh!”
I couldn’t believe it, but it was clear that that person had split the width of the White Sea.
‘Oh, it’s not over yet!’
Boran gritted his teeth. If you borrow the power of the new sword, you can use one more white sea bomb. No matter how much he is, he can’t stop it twice.
“uh...?”
But I couldn’t feel my right arm. There was a sudden sound of something falling and an excruciating pain came from my right shoulder.
“Kwaaaaaak!”
Boran screamed and lowered his head. His right arm, holding the divine sword, was stuck on the ground.
“Oh, no! “Keuuuuuu!”
Boran knelt down. As he tried to grab the divine sword with his left hand trembling, a black shoe appeared and struck his hand down.
“Ugh!”
My hand was only stepped on by my foot, but I felt unbearable pain.
“The opportunity given to you is over.”
“Ah, not yet... KAAAAAAH!”
Baek Woo-jin used the energy of heaviness with his right foot and burst Boran’s left hand.
“Kyaaaaaaaa!”
Boran, who lost both arms, retreated frantically, wriggling his legs like a squid.
“If you spare me, I will free the slaves. I’ll set you free right away! And I’ll give you my sword skills and aura! Besides...”
“I don’t need your petty power.”
Baek Woo-jin answered resolutely and swung his sword, cutting off Boran’s leg.
“Kaaaaak!”
Boran was unable to run away and his chin was shaking as he felt extreme pain and fear.
“In addition to swordsmanship, I also have footwork and martial arts. No, I’ll give you a new sword! If you give me a new sword...”
“I don’t need anything like that. “Who told you to do this?”
“That...”
“You don’t have to say it if you don’t want to.”
Baek Woo-jin lifted the black arm as if he had no interest.
“Now wait a minute! Don’t tell me! “I am Murian, the deputy governor of the empire.”
“Muriane?”
“That’s right. He ordered it all! “He was the one who gave me the divine sword!”
“Why him?”
“I don’t know either. “Come visit me...”
Boran talked about what had happened to him. But he knew very little. It was almost like a puppet being controlled by Murian, the Vice Minister.
“Right. “It was just a toy.”
Baek Woo-jin nodded and lifted up the black arm.
“What! “I told you I would save your life!”
“I’ve never done that before?”
“Oh, no! “Huh!”
Baek Woo-jin ignored Boran’s words and drew a horizontal line in the darkness.
Tuk.
Boran’s head fell to the ground. I felt such a terrible sense of betrayal and fear that I couldn’t even close my eyes because I couldn’t breathe.
“Okay then...”
Baek Woo-jin turned around and saw the new sword bursting with white light. He was tempting me to catch him right away.
“Now it’s your turn.”
-The main character has finally appeared.
Baek Woo-jin struck the center of the new sword with darkness.
Quick!
**
“After all, it should be called a ghost sword, not a divine sword.”
Darkness looked around the inside of the divine sword and frowned.
“I can’t believe you did something like this...”
The floor was sticky with rotten blood, and countless souls stood blankly on top of the blood, like dolls whose strings had fallen.
They were all souls caught by a leash by Shingeom.
“What is that that doesn’t fit in with this hell?”
There was a round sun in the sky, emitting a sacred white light.
It was a bizarre and disgusting space with extreme differences between the top and bottom.
“Is that guy the owner of this space?”
“Long live the prosecutor!”
“Aaaah!”
The three races embraced each other, chanted for national independence, and shed tears. The tears flowing from their eyes washed away some of the despair and pain.
**
The three tribes at Linden Castle followed Sylvia into the Rhine Forest.
The Rhine Forest had been neglected for a long time and was a place where many lives had died, so it was seriously polluted.
People and dwarves buried the white bones, and the elves began to purify the forest.
As a high elf of abundance, Sylvia was able to purify the forest just by breathing and walking. Every time she moved, the yellow, dying bushes and trees came to life.
Thanks to everyone’s efforts, the forest was purified in 6 days and the Rhine Forest regained its original lushness.
“I’ll start now.”
Sylvia buried the world tree seed she received from Baek Woo-jin in the ground and planted a branch of the world tree on top of it.
Ugh!
The blue light rising from the ground enveloped the tree branches like cotton.
As Sylvia closed her eyes and put her hands together, the light surrounding the tree branches became darker.
“Well, I think it will take about a week for the World Tree to bloom. “This is very fast.”
Sylvia opened her eyes for the first time in a while and smiled brightly.
“thank god.”
Baek Woo-jin nodded. There was no problem completing the quest in a week.
“If the World Tree blooms, will we be able to secure this land?”
“I can protect it. So when the Empire attacked us, it attacked the World Tree from within.”
-The World Tree is not simply a telephone pole that increases the abilities of the elves. It also has the power to block evil and eliminate false power. That’s why the black tree that grew up eating darkness had such damned abilities. It was an ability completely opposite to that of the World Tree.
The darkness shook its blade as if it was tired. I still get irritated when I think about the black neck.
“Everyone else, please protect me.”
Sylvia closed her eyes and began to transmit power to the World Tree.
“Unfold the barrier!”
The guard elves and elves formed a hexagon and surrounded Sylvia. A green light sparkled on the ground where they stood.
“Let’s take a seat too.”
“yes!”
At Tycoon’s words, dwarves and humans also moved to a designated location and began to stand guard.
Everyone was with one mind and one voice, hoping that the World Tree would bloom safely.
“Then me too...”
“You go this way.”
When Dapp was about to stand on the human side’s border, Baek Woo-jin grabbed his shoulder.
“Did you learn well so far?”
“yes?”
“You’ve been following me the whole time.”
As if he had decided to follow the advice of watching and learning, Dapple followed in his footsteps and followed everything.
I was so bored that I even tried to imitate the shaking of tree branches.
“Oh, that’s it...”
“Let me see. “How much have you learned?”
Baek Woo-jin smiled and pointed to a clearing in the forest.
– Are you trying to teach this guy how to use a sword?
‘The basics must be engraved in your body.’
**
Baek Woo-jin taught Dapple basic swordsmanship for the past six days.
Even though he was trained to the point where it was difficult to endure, Dapple followed along without a single sound of death.
-Your concentration is not normal.
‘Because I wanted to change myself.’
Dapple’s concentration and talent, free from despair, were amazing.
If you grow like this, you will be able to become a swordsman with an outstanding reputation.
“That’s all for today.”
“Already?”
Deple, who was slowly lowering his sword, opened his eyes and looked at Baek Woo-jin.
“Not already. “Look at the sky.”
“Ah...”
Dapple raised his head and looked at the open night sky between the trees. Before we knew it, the sun had set and there was a blue moon.
“It was good concentration. “Please continue to do so.”
“Thank you!”
Dapple wiped his sweat and smiled broadly.
When he heard praise from his hero, Baek Woo-jin, the accumulated fatigue disappeared in an instant. I felt like I could continue practicing without stopping.
“I can continue practicing. “I suddenly feel full of energy!”
“Training doesn’t happen in one fell swoop. “If you do it hastily, it will have the opposite effect.”
“Well I understand! thank you!”
Dapple nodded and gathered his training supplies.
-You’re laughing. They did it recklessly and didn’t listen to me, saying it was overwork or something.
‘Because I did that. ‘I’m telling you not to do it.’
-Anyway, you are... hmm?
“uh?”
Baek Woo-jin and Darkness’ gaze turned to the west at the same time. A huge natural force was approaching from the west.
“Why are you doing this?”
“It’s an emergency. Rest and call all personnel on standby to stay near Sylvia!”
“yes?”
“hurry!”
“Ah yes!”
Dapple nodded and ran into the forest.
“Is it him too?”
Baek Woo-jin ran west, using the full force of wind and pleasure with all his might.
-That guy?
“Don’t you remember what Sylvia said when you first met her?”
-I remember that well....
“You said that children like your younger siblings cut down the World Tree and burned it.”
-children? then!
“That’s right. It’s a high elf.”
From the moment I heard those words from Sylvia, I thought that Sephilia cut down the World Tree and that another High Elf burned it.
As expected, the energy of the approaching high elf was polluted like Sephilia.
“That would also be a spirit high elf.”
Baek Woo-jin bit his lip as he watched the western forest collapsing.
