Episode 220 Ssak3 (3)
“The author is...”
Baek Woo-jin frowned as he looked at the newly appeared middle-aged man.
-Do you know this guy?
‘I don’t know.’
The middle-aged man was tall, nearly 2 meters tall, had steel-like muscles covering his entire body, had white hair and a jujube-colored complexion, and his entire body was full of large and small scars.
Each of them had distinct characteristics, so it was impossible to recognize them if you saw them once. It was definitely a man I had never seen before.
‘What about those eyes...’
The external features were unusual, but a madness similar to that of a monster was felt in the middle-aged man’s eyes.
Teuong!
Cheolgwi raised both hands and clinked the silver gauntlets he was wearing as if clapping. With a violent clanging sound, the dust covering the surrounding area disappeared in an instant.
“Keueuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuses
only that they had survived the shock wave of the iron ghost and stood up trembling.
“Who are you!”
Because of that monster that suddenly fell from the sky, half of the Blood Demons were turned into blood clots. Although he was a man whose identity and abilities were unknown, he could never be ignored.
“Ugh....”
“Shit!”
It wasn’t just the blood demons that were hit by the iron ghost. Lucas and the Dark Moon killing team were also gritting their teeth and glaring at Cheolgwi.
“Hmm...”
Even though Cheolgwi was surrounded by three groups, he was only looking at Baek Woojin.
“You old monster!”
Cha Huang, who lost his temper, raised his sword and stabbed Cheolgwi in the arm.
Chaaaang!
The Auror stabbed bare skin with a thick sword, but the sound of metal clashing against metal was heard.
“Ugh!”
What was even more surprising was that Cheolgwi, who had been stabbed by the sword, did not move at all and only Cha Hwang, who had stabbed the sword, flew away.
“Are you saying we should get rid of these guys first? good night.”
Cheolgwi nodded and stretched out his fist to Emperor Cha as if swatting away a fly.
Whoa!
Emperor Cha tried to block Cheolgwi’s fist by slashing his sword. However, Cheolgwi’s fist had a completely different energy than he expected.
Pop!
Iron Demon’s fist shattered Cha Huang’s sword, which was surrounded by thick aura, and left a hole the size of a soccer ball in his left chest.
“Ugh!”
The emperor looked at the half-cut sword in disbelief, then fell backwards and lost his breath.
“lender!”
“Aaaah!”
In an instant, all 10 members of the Blood Demon Corps, who had lost their leader, rushed at Cha Emperor.
“Things like bugs.”
Cheolgwi clicked his tongue as if he was pathetic and raised his pot-lid-like fist.
Chiiing!
Although Hyeolgwidae threw his sword in various ways, Cheolgwi did not defend.
Pow! Pow!
He blocked the sword wrapped in aura with his bare body and threw a punch, blowing off the blood demon’s head. It was truly overwhelming force.
“Ugh!”
“Hit!”
The criminals of Darkmoon realized that now was their only chance. I thought that if we didn’t attack that monster together, we wouldn’t have a chance.
“Attack!”
The same was true for Sipir, the killing bird from Lucas. Even if they had been fighting at each other’s throats just now, now was the time to join forces.
Kwaaaaaaaa!
A one-on-one battle ensued, with magic firing wildly and Auror pillars rising. However, the battle ended so quickly that it could be said to have been an instant death.
Whoops.
The mana storm was crushed, and only one person was standing inside it.
The uniform was torn, but there was not a single scratch on Cheolgwi’s body. Even after being hit by that magic and aura, he didn’t suffer the slightest damage.
“It’s a monster.”
Heartfelt words came out through Baek Woo-jin’s tightly closed lips.
Even if Lucas and the raiding team from the Cheonmu Alliance failed to demonstrate their capabilities and the characteristics they had prepared for, they were not people to be ignored.
Since he literally crushed them to death, that old man was definitely not an ordinary person.
Even if it is Zenon, Daeyeonmun, or another guild, it will be at the upper level of executives.
‘What is that energy?’
-It feels similar to a monster...
‘I felt that way too.’
The old man seemed to be fighting with his bare body, but in reality, he was using a special energy of unknown origin.
-Anyway, it is an ability for both offense and defense. Move carefully.
‘know. ‘I’ll start with exploration.’
Because the old man dealt with the assassination team with simple punches, it was not clear how much force he actually had. I had to do some research to figure out his true abilities.
Wow.
Baek Woo-jin came down from the tree and released his sleep dragon spirit.
“Do you feel like fighting now?”
Cheolgwi laughed, shaking off his blood-soaked fist. It is no exaggeration to say that it was a smile that was cruelty itself.
“Who are you?”
Baek Woo-jin stood in front of Cheolgwi. It was even clearer when we met face to face. He was a man I had never seen in my entire life.
“What does that matter? “It doesn’t matter who dies or who gets killed!”
Cheolgwi clinked the gauntlets he was wearing. A harsh force surged along with a crackling sound.
“Then I can take you down and ask you.”
Baek Woo-jin chuckled and placed his right hand on the handle of the sword. I lowered my posture while activating all combat characteristics. Since the opponent was obviously strong, there was no need to let down one’s guard.
“Hahaha! Try it! “If you can do it!”
“You don’t have to worry, I’ll do it.”
“I’ve seen a lot of guys like you. These are people who, after awakening their strength, focus only on developing that ability. “These are people who are obsessed with superficiality and a topic that cannot even contain will.”
“will? Are you talking about swordsmanship?”
“Do you know? “It’s pathetic to have a sword like that for such a topic.”
Cheolgwi laughed at Baek Woo-jin as if he were the same.
“No matter what you do, it’s too much for you right now. Summon a spirit and attack it at once. Otherwise, you will die without having done anything.”
– Catch me. If you have the will, you can cut down that arrogant bastard.
Heaven’s will is the state of uniting the body and sword, the state of reaching the sword’s will that that guy talked about. That kind of defense can be easily cut down.
‘no.’
-Are you trying to use spirits?
‘I don’t like that either.’
-Are you crazy?
‘No, I’m perfectly sane.’
Baek Woo-jin laughed, holding the arm sword tightly.
-Uther?
‘You should smile. The amazing experience came to me on its own.’
Baek Woo-jin took his stance with that deep smile on his face.
‘We can’t rely on darkness forever.’
Heaven’s Will is clearly a powerful means of attack. As the darkness said, I might be able to cut down that monster with one sword.
But that’s not how you can grow.
‘You have to become strong even on your own.’
I remembered my father’s swordsmanship that I had encountered on the front line. In order to catch up with him, one must grow not only through darkness, but also through one’s own strength.
It was clear that if I cut down that monster alone, I would get a little closer to my father.
“Is it the pride of a prosecutor who has reached the point of strength? “You were just like everyone else.”
“well.”
Baek Woo-jin swung his sword and delved into the space of Cheolgwi.
“There is nothing to look at anymore.”
Cheolgwi’s movements became faster. As if he was really paying attention, the movement was much faster, more accurate, and more violent than before.
Whoops!
Baek Woo-jin struck Cheolgwi’s thigh with a sword covered in steel, but this time, he was unable to pierce his body. Cheolgwi slammed his fist down with a pitiful expression.
Huh!
Baek Woo-jin stepped on the Mansangbo continuously and moved from the right side of Cheolgwi to the left side.
Kwaaaaang!
A huge shock wave exploded as if a cannonball had landed in the space where Baek Woo-jin was. The iron ghost’s power to destroy the soul completely turned the earth into powder.
pop! Pubbung! Pubububung!
Cheolgwi even burst the ground he could step on and attacked Baek Woo-jin. Although it was a ferocious step and punch, the speed and power were insanely strong.
Quaaaaa!
Baek Woo-jin activated Geomun. All the aura rising like a cloud was poured into the sword. Even though the power contained in the Dark Sword doubled in size, it was unable to break Cheolgwi’s defense.
“That’s amazing. If we were to simply consider its power, it surpassed the intermediate level of strength. But that alone cannot cut the power of breaking up a marriage.”
Cheolgwi was approaching Baek Woo-jin, clenching the strength of the Dark Sword with his fist. It would not be an exaggeration to say that the sight of them cutting through the river and coming in was terrifying.
“Ugh....”
-Anyway, nothing has changed.
Baek Woo-jin’s stubbornness in not holding on to himself even in this situation has not changed at all since the first time they met. He was truly a disgusting guy.
-I’ll tell you this just once. You are only obsessed with strength and aurors.
‘what?’
-The will of the sword is not skill or power, but will. It means the will to achieve and achieve what you want while swinging the sword. Go back to basics and think about the sword you have been swinging so far.
Darkness gave Baek Woo-jin the starting point to rise to the intermediate level of Ganggi-jigyeong. What was given was given, so it was up to him to accept it.
“Ah...”
Baek Woo-jin stopped his hand. It felt like a lightning bolt had struck my head. I remembered the joy I felt when I achieved unity with the darkness and my sword, and I felt like I finally knew what to do.
‘This is the unity of the Shin and Sword...’
Baek Woo-jin lowered the momentum of his strong energy. He held the sword with both hands and his eyes glowed blue.
Ugh!
Although his strength weakened, the energy flowing through his sword and the concentration in his eyes became incomparably darker.
**
Kim Nam-gil and Han Hye-ji were watching the battle between Baek Woo-jin and Cheolgwi in real time on the screen in the conference room.
“It’s not enough to say that he’s a monster because he’s 20 years old.”
Baek Woo-jin’s strength was beyond even his expectations. No one has ever had that kind of power at that age.
“Is this all?”
Kim Nam-gil smiled bitterly as he saw the huge force rising from Baek Woo-jin’s sword.
“yes? “Your strength has become stronger?”
“That doesn’t matter. “The only person who can cut down Cheolgwi’s power to break the marriage is someone with a stronger will.”
Putting one’s will into one’s strength is the step beyond the intermediate level of the strength of one’s strength. Baek Woo-jin passed the beginner level, but had not yet reached the intermediate level.
‘I can’t cut down an iron ghost with that much.’
The power of breaking the spirit has the power to scatter strong energy. Unless you have a medium or higher level of strength, you cannot cut down the Iron Demon no matter how much aura you pour into it.
‘I’m glad I chose Iron Ghost.’
If he had sent another guy, Baek Woo-jin would have already suffered a single blow from his sword. Even thinking about it again, choosing Cheolgwi was a good decision.
“If you do that, you will lose your strength and die.”
Baek Woo-jin was shocked that his strength did not work on Cheolgwi, so he continued to try to create stronger strength.
But that doesn’t mean anything. If you waste your aura, you will be killed by the Iron Demon.
“Even young monsters who are beyond genius can’t help old monsters.”
Kim Nam-gil turned his chair. There was no need to look any further. It was obvious that the battle would end like this.
“Stop watching now...”
“Huh? “Huh?”
It was when Kim Nam-gil was about to give Han Hye-ji different instructions.
Han Hye-ji, who was watching the battle between Baek Woo-jin and Cheolgwi, let out a moan full of embarrassment.
“What happened...huh?”
Kim Nam-gil turned around. His complexion turned pale when he saw the screen.
“What is this!”
A scene he had never expected was unfolding on the screen.
