Chapter 327

Episode 327 Preston Castle (4)

Baek Woo-jin followed Sein beyond Preston Castle and headed toward the North Sea.

“Arrived. “This is the real North Wall that blocks the North Sea.”

“uh?”

Baek Woo-jin looked at the north wall and opened his eyes.

‘It’s broken.’

-Why....

One axis of the northern wall, which rose to the sky, had collapsed in ruins.

“What happened?”

“A huge tentacle came from the North Sea and collapsed the wall.”

Sein sighed and looked up at the collapsed wall.

“tentacle?”

“One sucker was a tentacle bigger than a human. The tentacle fell like a mace and broke the wall.”

“So...”

“At first, it attacked to the extent that the wall didn’t collapse and then disappeared, but it got worse and worse and now it’s breaking the wall.”

Sein’s shoulders trembled. Even though he was the owner of Preston Castle, he seemed to feel sorry for himself for not being able to resolve this situation.

“There was a cross-shaped scar on the tentacle, so I used the Beihai Hyeonhwan towards that area, but I couldn’t cut it. “It waved its tentacles as if it was laughing at me and went into the sea.”

“If it has tentacles that big....”

“I think it’s a kraken.”

-It’s him!

When Sein said Kraken, darkness flew in front of his eyes.

‘That guy?’

-Kraken!

‘Sain also said that.’

-It’s not just a Kraken. Among the monsters that live at the end of the North Sea is the monster Hash Kraken.

‘Hash Kraken?’

-It is huge, more than twice the size of a regular Kraken, has resistance to all attributes and auras, and its power is beyond imagination. If it were the sea, I might be able to fight the dragon and win.

‘That much?’

Baek Woo-jin widened his eyes. A regular Kraken is also huge, but I couldn’t imagine it being twice that size.

-The last time Preston and I fought, he was the one. The cross wound that Sein mentioned is the sword mark inflicted on my body. I barely kicked him out, but now he’s back...

‘Oh then!’

Baek Woo-jin’s eyes lit up.

‘The first time Hash Kraken knocked on the wall was to see if Preston was still alive.’

-okay. I was worried that Preston might pop out, so I hit the wall to check the situation. When I realized he wasn’t there, I broke down the wall.

‘Then after this.’

-They will attack directly and eat everyone here.

‘It must be dangerous...’

It seemed like a major crisis was approaching Preston Castle.

“This is the first reason why we cannot accept an alliance. “We don’t have the energy to participate in the battle in the center because we don’t know when the Kraken and sea monsters will attack.”

“Hmm...”

Baek Woo-jin nodded. Sein’s words were correct. It was crazy to worry about other battles while leaving such a huge enemy behind.

“Then what is the second reason?”

“It’s under the castle. “Please follow me.”

Sein glanced at the north wall and then turned around. She returned to Preston Castle and to the back of the main staircase on the first floor.

Behind the stairs, which seemed empty, a black door flickered like a shadow.

Ugh.

As soon as Serin touched it, the door parted like fog and a white staircase leading down appeared.

“Come over here.

She went down with familiar steps.

‘Did you know this?’

-No, I think it was made after the contract was terminated.

‘Right.’

I nodded and went down the stairs.

“This is...”

A square pillar stood in the center of a huge room where the floor, walls, and ceiling were all silver.

However, it was not a shiny silver color, but a dark silver color like the North Wall. When I touched the wall, I found that the material was the same as the north wall.

“North wall?”

It seemed like it was a room created by the same force that created the north wall.

“You recognize me at a glance. that’s right. “This room was built in the same way as the north wall.”

Sein nodded, looking at Baek Woojin’s reaction.

“What is this room?”

Baek Woo-jin narrowed his eyes as he looked at the pillar erected in the center of the room. I could feel an energy similar to Sein’s aura from the pillar.

“This pillar is the second reason we can’t go out.”

“yes?”

“These are the rooms and pillars made by the first lord of the castle. He made it clear to everyone that if his successor wanted to advance to the central region, he would have to destroy this pillar with the Beihai Xuanhuan before leaving.”

-I didn’t hear that...

‘I heard he made this room after he broke up with you. Then of course I can’t hear it.’

Darkness didn’t even know this room existed, so it’s natural that it doesn’t know.

“So you’re saying no one has been able to destroy this pillar for hundreds of years?”

“It is said that this pillar was cut down by the fourth lord of the castle, but no one has been there since then.”

Serin lowered her head in embarrassment. There was a dark shadow on her face, probably because she was standing under the wall.

-Anyway, that guy....

Darkness clicked his tongue.

-They put restrictions on advancement, so it doesn’t change even before you search.

However, it doesn’t mean I don’t understand. He must have been worried about weak successors advancing to the center and then failing.

“To cut down this pillar, you have to use Beihai Xuanhuan?”

“yes. “I know that only with that can you cut down a pillar.”

“Hmm...”

Baek Woo-jin licked his lips and looked up at the pillar. At first glance, it didn’t look that sturdy.

“Can I take a look at it?”

“Please.”

Surprisingly, Sein nodded as if asking him to try it.

‘If it’s a yam, I might be able to cut it.’

I heard Seol Yeong-geom. He used the yam that had cut down the Beihai Xuanhuan and hit the pillar.

Wooooow.

The black blade that shot out from the Seolyeonggeom split the pillar in half, but the silver lights came together again to form the pillar.

‘It was real.’

Baek Woo-jin frowned. Although it was not a pillar, but a sword that could cut through dragon bones and scales, the pillar was regenerated with the sensation of cutting through water.

“It’s true.”

“yes. “It can only be cut with Beihai Xuanhuan.”

-As the child said, it would be true that you can only cut down that pillar by using the Beihai Hyeonhwan. Preston has done something really annoying.

“Well, unlike the Kraken, I don’t understand this one. Do we really have to keep the words of our ancestors?”

It felt frustrating to still keep the words of our ancestors hundreds of years ago.

“You have to protect it. That’s how I learned and grew up here. “It’s natural for you to be frustrated, but there’s nothing you can do about it.”

Sein nodded resolutely.

‘Then they can’t get out of here for the rest of their lives?

-know.

‘huh?’

-I know the complete form of Beihai Hyeonhwan.

Darkness looked up at the pillar and continued.

-North Sea Hyeonhwan is a sword that Preston and I created together. It is not a sloppy swordsmanship like that child’s, but a beautiful swordsmanship that combines eight techniques.

Space splits.

It wasn’t just a simple cut with a sword, it was a slash with a variety of changes, as if a star had fallen from the sky.

-You’re so right.

Darkness laughed.

-You damn bastard...

I couldn’t help but laugh at the idea of Bingje Preston’s Galaxy Pendulum, known as the King of the North, manifesting itself with just one look.

“Ah...”

Sein couldn’t control his trembling and dropped the sword in his hand.

‘That’s that....’

The feeling of inadequacy and heterogeneity that I always felt while using the Galaxy appeared before my eyes, completely filled.

It changes quickly, strongly, yet smoothly. A power that doesn’t seem to make sense. But the harmony was close to perfect.

“It’s all you. “What the hell!”

“Can you believe it now?”

“It’s not about believing or not...”

“My teacher said that the Northern Heavenly Blade is a sword technique that combines various sword techniques in harmony. “I just went with the flow and swung the galactic pendulum.”

“No matter what...”

Genius. Even though he was the greatest genius on the continent, it made no sense. Even Garen, who is said to be the strongest in the empire, is probably not at that level.

“Please show me the next herbivorous meal. This time, continue until the end.”

Baek Woo-jin smiled and put the Seolyeong sword into its sheath.

“Haha, what am I doing? all right. “Let me begin.”

Sein nodded heavily.

‘It’s already a popular trend.’

Once you start, there is no going back. Especially after just seeing that perfect galactic cone.

Phew.

All 32 types of herbivores were shown, from the Milky Way Pendulum to the last North Sea Phenomenon.

“This is all the basic ingredients of the Northern Heavenly Sword.”

Sein turned around after showing all the techniques of the Northern Heavenly Sword. She looked at Baek Woo-jin with eyes that seemed to be longing for something.

“It’s my turn. “It will make some improvements, but it won’t be perfect.”

Baek Woo-jin said that and raised his sword.

Lower the sword and raise the sword.

His sword sometimes drew beautiful arcs, powerful energy exploded like a storm, and sometimes it emitted a brilliant light like a star.

“Ah...”

Sein’s whole body trembled.

‘Was that it?...’

It seemed as if the swordsmanship I had doubts about while practicing, and the swordsmanship I felt was different while swinging, was reborn into the word ‘perfection.’

It felt like the wall I had learned without thinking while learning swordsmanship was broken and there was a thundering sound in my head.

Whoa!

Baek Woo-jin’s sword headed downward toward the 31st herbivorous Northern Wei Wind for the last time.

“Why....”

“Beihai Xuanhuan is not just a herbivore, but a herbivore with enlightenment.”

Baek Woo-jin shook his head, looking at Se-in full of regret.

“This Choshik is a Chosik that contains all the Herbivores of the Northern Heavenly Sword in one move. “You may be able to use it right away, or you may not be able to use it forever.”

“So...”

“It’s awkward to show you right now because you might end up going down the wrong path.”

After showing the unfinished Beihai Hyeonhwan to Sein, he stopped his sword because it could be poisonous.

-It’s worth it to learn how to use ten thousand swords.

The darkness patted Baek Woo-jin’s shoulder as if pleased. Baek Woo-jin, as a swordsman who trains ten thousand swords, quickly made up for the shortcomings of the Northern Heavenly Sword.

If you practice a little, you will be able to obtain everything in the Northern Heavenly Sword, including the Beihai Xuanhuan.

“I see...”

“Anyway, if you train your sword the way I showed you, you will be able to reach a much better level than you are now.”

“But tradition...”

Sein bit his lip. The Northern Heavenly Sword they learned was a sword technique handed down from above.

Even if the swordsmanship shown by Baek Woo-jin is truly the famous sword of the Northern Heavens, it is not easy to change the swordsmanship that has been passed down through tradition.

“Is that a tradition?”

Baek Woo-jin put the Seolyeong sword into its sheath and stood in front of Sein.

“My teacher said that when dealing with the Northern Heavenly Sword, there is change, softness, and explosive power amidst the strength and speed. However, I didn’t feel anything like that, not only from other warriors, but also from the Lord of Seong’s sword. The Northern Heavenly Blade that my teacher wrote about in his book was not included in your sword.”

He looked at Sein with a ruthlessly cold gaze.

“You have strong bodies and powerful aurors, but your swordsmanship was below expectations. Is it really following tradition to hang on to the sword skills that have already failed? ”

“Ah....”

“I will study the Beihai phenomenon somewhere else.”

Baek Woo-jin resolutely turned around.

“Please come back after you decide what to do.”

**

Quaaaaa!

The black sea is rippling.

The pitch-black sea was calm, yet varied and explosive to the point of ferocity.

The silent tsunami rising from the black sea rose as if it would erase the sun in the sky, and then disappeared like fog.

Phew.

Baek Woo-jin lowered his sword beneath the sea of molten aurors.

“how is it?”

-That’s suitable....

“It’s complete.”

Baek Woo-jin chuckled. It was no exaggeration to say that the words “appropriate” that came from the mouth of darkness were perfection.

-Damn you. In just one week....

“Because they were all tricks I had learned.”

After practicing the Northern Heavenly Sword for a week, I learned its techniques and was eventually able to learn the Beihai Xuanhuan.

‘I’m a little sorry.’

You might think Sein didn’t teach you how to use Aurors, but thanks to his eyes for the flow and darkness, he was able to know everything with just one look.

-But will the child come?

“He will come.”

Baek Woo-jin sat down at the base of the tree next to him and nodded.

-It wasn’t flexible...

If you think about it, Sein didn’t need to accept Baekbingjeon.

It would be enough to say that Baekbingjeon disappeared, but he accepted it twice and did not leave this place according to the old tradition.

Compared to that cold and beautiful face, he was a very frustrating child.

-How do you know that?

“Because I’m a prosecutor.”

Baek Woo-jin smiled with a confident face.

Even though she was pressured by tradition from a young age, she is a prosecutor.

She was not afraid of sparring with her and was smiling even when she poured out the last Beihai Hyeonhwan. Of course, I was embarrassed when I was hit in the back of the head.

-That’s a great answer.

“Because I’m a prosecutor too.”

-joy! Get in shape!

“Prosecutor!”

As the darkness roared, a mysterious guest came running.

“No guy has appeared!”

The guy who ran so fast that I couldn’t see his feet continued speaking with his lips trembling.

“The Kraken is coming! It’s so fucking big!”

“It’s perfect timing.”

“yes?”

Baek Woo-jin grinned when he heard the word Kraken.

‘If I do well, I will complete today’s quest.’
