Chapter 272

Episode 272 Nest (4)

The appearance of the woman who stood up holding Snow Bing was nothing short of mysterious.

Her long hair was as blue as the sea, her eyes sparkled white like the dawn, and her pale eyebrows and eyes were softly sunken.

Anyone, regardless of gender or age, could not help but say she was beautiful, but it was not her face that Baek Woo-jin paid attention to.

‘This woman...’

I felt both the immensity of nature and its immaculate purity. It wasn’t the first time I experienced this energy. It is a presence that I have already seen twice.

‘Wind, fire, and now water?’

I could recognize it at a glance. An absolute being born to maintain the balance of the world. It was clearly the Spirit King of Water.

“It seems like you recognize me.”

“Am I right?”

“Unless you’re an idiot, right? “My name is Erwin, the Spirit King of Water.”

Erwin laughed. The sea behind her sparkled blue, as if the sea was smiling.

“How could the Spirit King be here....”

“I wanted to come to this world several times, but I couldn’t because I didn’t have a contract or something under my power.”

“Then you were able to come out because of the dragon in the sea?”

“that’s right.”

Erwin nodded and pointed to the sea behind him.

“That guy is busy adjusting to this place and Mana right now. “I was bored, so I was walking around, and I felt this child’s energy, so I came here and there you were.”

Eriwin stroked Sulbing in her arms. Sulbing seemed to be in a good mood and purred like a puppy.

“Actually, I was curious about you, so I asked Ifrit several times, but he didn’t give me an answer. “I heard you’re a scoundrel even before the guy called the king comes after you.”

Erwin grunted and spat Ifrit’s curse.

‘You seem like a neighborhood sister.’

-Erwin has long been interested in the human world. If you treat him well, you will be able to get information about the dragon.

‘surely.’

The reflection in Erwin’s eyes was clear fondness. Hopefully, I’ll be able to figure out why the dragon came here.

“Who is the dragon in the sea?”

“Ceres Isdrion. He is a worm-level member of the Blue clan and is now around 3300 years old? He is quite strong for his age and likes slaughter, so he is called the Demon Dragon. “More than five port cities were destroyed because of that guy.”

Erwin explained things he didn’t even ask about, like peeling a pumpkin seed.

“Then why and how did Ceres come here?”

“That’s...”

Erwin closed his mouth. There was playfulness in her eyes.

“You can’t say it with your bare mouth.”

“yes? Then what...”

“This kid told me a lot about this world? “There’s that green food with black particles in it.”

“Green and black grains? Seriously, mint chocolate?”

“okay. that! Bring me that. “I’ve seen it a lot, but I’ve never tried it.”

“Uh...”

Baek Woo-jin’s eyes rolled around. Bringing mint chocolate didn’t seem like a good choice.

I had a feeling that I would definitely be disappointed. Different preparations were also needed.

-Just looking at it, it’s an unappetizing color. Are you going to eat that again? Anyway, the spirit kings are immature.

‘That’s it. ‘It’s in your inventory, right?’

Baek Woo-jin glanced at darkness. Since the items placed in the darkness’s inventory are stored in their original state, I also placed some ice cream for snow ice.

-okay. There are 2 boxes.

‘Anything else?’

-How about the chocolate ice cream you put in a while ago to eat?

‘Take that out too.’

-Tsk.

Heukam clicked his tongue but brought out mint chocolate ice cream and chocolate ice cream for Baek Woo-jin.

Baek Woo-jin handed over the mint chocolate he received to Erwin.

“Is this it?”

“yes.”

“I wanted to try it because the color was pretty. “It doesn’t exist in our world.”

Erwin put down the ice cream and scooped up some mint chocolate with a spoon and put it in his mouth.

“!”

“Then the test is...”

“It is to fight and win against Ceres who summoned me. “It’s simple, right?”

Erwin unleashed the mighty energy of water.

Her energy, which was friendly like a neighborhood sister, suddenly soared to the point where it was close to godlike.

Coo coo coo coo!

The sea roared with anger and shook as if hit by a typhoon.

“It may be difficult for me to show my full strength here, but they won’t look down on me.”

“Jeak!”

Sulbing stood in front of Baek Woojin. It spread its wings long as if it would never lose.

“This kid says he won’t lose, so I can’t back down either.”

“I like confidence! “I’ll see you then.”

Erwin smiled and waved his hand. Her body turned into clear water and fell into the sea.

-I need to prepare well, right? Even though he looks friendly like that, he is not someone you would look at.

“We must prepare for all situations.”

-It must be able to survive on the water even if the dragon strikes its tail and scratches it with its claws. Your current talent is higher than I thought, so let’s train harder for three days.

Baek Woo-jin sighed as he thought of Ceres slashing his tail and splitting the sea.

“Is that really possible?”

**

After three days, the day of setting sail to catch the dragon dawned.

Baek Woo-jin completed all preparations and boarded Arcane’s battle ship, and other guilds also boarded their ships and waited for the signal to sail.

“Are you ready?”

“Is there anything I can prepare? “I just have to hit it with my body.”

As Seo Gong-myeong approached, Baek Woo-jin touched the scabbard of the Amin Sword as he spoke.

“I envy your confidence.”

“It’s not about confidence, it’s about all I can do.”

Baek Woo-jin chuckled. There is too little time now to learn naval battle strategies or acquire equipment.

For now, trusting your own sword was the best choice.

“That’s why I have more faith. “If you had tried to learn the tools or strategies of naval warfare, you would have been disappointed.”

Seo Gong-myeong nodded as if he was satisfied.

“We will take care of all the fighting and driving preparations along the way. Prosecutor, please only move during battles with dragons.”

“We won’t have to do anything.”

“yes? What do you mean...”

“Do you see them? “They are so anxious to show off, so if we stay quiet, they will go ahead of us and kill all the monsters.”

Baek Woo-jin pointed to the left, where the ships of the Sea God and Typhoon Ghost Guild were gathered.

“They’re not just trying to catch a dragon. He even wants the honor of beating me and killing dragons and many monsters. “If we give him a little stimulation, he will definitely be able to kill the monsters in front of us.”

“How are you stimulating me?”

“If you watch them catch marine monsters with ease and give them a look of admiration or a little surprise, they will feel good and move on on their own. We just have to follow behind and conserve our strength.”

Baek Woo-jin chuckled. It was obvious how those guys would move. I was already starting to get excited thinking about making fun of them.

“Huh...”

Seo Gong-myeong slightly raised his glasses. His eyes, reflected behind his glasses, were full of surprise.

‘It’s something new every time I see it.’

When I saw Baek Woo-jin using his fame at the age of 20, I got goosebumps.

I have seen many people and predicted their future, but I could not figure out how Baek Woo-jin would change. It was a being beyond his understanding.

-Oh, that’s right! Those guys are struggling because they want to beat you, so are you really going to take care of it?

‘That’s right. If you just pretend to be a little surprised, they’ll fight on their own, right?’

The Sea God Typhoon Ghost Guild feels inferior to themselves. They will try to show better performance somehow, so all you have to do is take advantage of that and follow along.

‘This is how you build a reputation. If you think about it, they are no different from my subordinates who deal with the monsters in front and draw aggro in front of the dragon.’

-Huh...

‘Besides, the items and magic stones from the monsters they ate eventually become mine. I’m just grateful.’

-Wow, who is this bastard who gave this terrible scoundrel the title of Hyeopje? I’ll have to go and find out.

The title that suited Baek Woo-jin was not Hyeopje or Hyeopgeom, but Gangachi. I wanted to beat up the guy who gave him such a cool title.

“The barrier installation is complete! We will set sail in 20 minutes, so please finish preparing!”

Baek Woo-jin heard Han Seong-yoon’s shout and waved his hand toward where Kazuma of the Sea God Guild was.

“Please take care of me.”
