Episode 370 Second return
“I want to get along well with this guy.”
Baek Woo-jin absentmindedly pointed to the floating darkness.
-Huh?
[If you say it will be a fight....]
“Of course it’s a duel. “I want to stab the darkness in the back, but can’t I change its body into a human?”
Darkness has had a harder time than anyone else since it started thousands of years ago when it stopped Kabaron. I wanted to give him a body so he could enjoy a proper life and rest.
-Make your wish, you brat!
The darkness twisted the blade like a twist.
‘The guy who can’t even cover his own urine....’
Baek Woo-jin tried to give himself to him using the excuse of a duel. A demigod will grant your wish, but you’re still a fool to think about others.
[Oh, as expected.]
Karen looked up at Baek Woo-jin and smiled warmly.
[I thought Woojin would ask for that. However...]
“Yes?”
[I want to do that. Even though it may not be a perfect body, I plan to give Cain a body he can live happily with.]
-....
She waved her hand as if telling him not to worry, and the darkness stayed still, its blade trembling slightly.
“Then it doesn’t matter. “As long as I can shake off the darkness, I’m fine with anything.”
[Hehe, you’re being disingenuous.]
“Not really.”
Baek Woo-jin slightly opened his mouth and shrugged his shoulders.
[I think it will take about a month until dimensional travel is ready.]
Karen stood up with lively eyes.
[And I will proceed with Woojin’s request as you said.]
“Huh? ask?”
-what?
[We will contact you again as soon as preparations are complete.]
Darkness and Baek Woojin expressed their doubts, but Karen waved her hand and became light and disappeared.
-hey.
The darkness flew in front of my eyes as I looked at the place where Karen had disappeared.
“why?”
-Who are you trying to take care of with your subject?
“I’m stronger than you now. “It is natural for the strong to take care of the weak.”
Baek Woo-jin snorted and pushed away the darkness that was trying to rush at him.
-Ugh! Joe is good! When I get this body, I’ll let you know who’s on top again.
“okay. Let’s do it. “This time, I’m going to turn the back of your head into a mop.”
-If you think that being manipulated by Kabalon is my skill, you will get seriously hurt!
“Bring one more pair of pants before sparring. If you get tired of my examination, you have to change.
-Sim-exam? Just cut that thing down with my sword and that’s it!
“hmm?”
While having a childish argument with Darkness, Servik and Richie gathered on the right came into view.
‘What are Jae-deul doing earlier?’
Servik and the Liches huddled in a circle like rabbits braving the cold wind and did not move at all.
‘Have you completely defeated the Beast King?’
-Ji must have lost interest now that he showed himself as a dragon.
‘but.’
As the darkness said, Servik did not enter the imperial palace and stayed with the Liches. It seemed that his pastime was over.
‘Are you releasing the lichs from the castle?’
The lichs said they liked being in the Lion’s Castle, but how could that be true? Servik will be releasing the souls of Carden and Fes.
“Servik. It’s all over...”
[I have no intention of meeting yet!]
As I approached the place where the three were gathered, the voice of a Korean woman who did not belong to this country came out.
-No way....
‘Oh no, right?’
Feeling anxious, I craned my neck to see what Servik was holding. It’s a tablet PC. It’s also a tablet PC with a scene of a pretty girl frowning.
-You crazy guys!
‘Huh...’
I couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
Servik Marcalector. The Ancient Dragon, who is said to have lived the longest on this continent, was playing a game on a tablet PC.
“Ho-oh, you’re rejecting my offer to meet up?”
“It’s because the progress is so fast. “Yeonhee is a character that needs to be approached slowly.”
“okay?”
“The charm of the Miyeonsi game is that each character has a different strategy.”
“Right.”
Servik touched the tablet PC happily and raised the corners of his mouth.
“The popularity has already dropped, so if you want to see the true ending, you might want to start over from the beginning. “You can go back to the menu.”
“i get it.”
Servik seemed to have gotten used to Richie’s strange way of speaking and restarted the game without paying any attention to it.
‘These bastards...’
While he was clearing out the imperial palace, these guys were here targeting the character named Yeonhee. I would have understood it if I had just taken a break, but it was absurd.
“Servik.”
“Oh, you’re here. Did it end well?”
Servik didn’t even look in this direction and just looked at the tablet PC. It seemed like he was immersed in the game without any interest in what was going on with the Empire.
“You mean that?”
“There is something strange about your world. “This game is pretty interesting.”
“Wouldn’t it have been difficult to understand the language?”
“Of course, I used some magic to fix it. I am a dragon. “That’s as simple as that.”
okay. I can’t believe that the amazing dragon is holding back.
“I tried to go back to Lair and get a good rest, but it seems like my next play date has been decided right away.”
“No way....”
“Yes. “I plan to go to the Lion’s Castle and conquer the games with these guys!”
“Now wait a minute! There are many types of games. If you do it first, you will be ruined....”
“Miyeonsi is the best.”
“you’re right. “I have tried many things, but delay is justice.”
When Baek Woo-jin waved his hand, the Liches covered Servik’s gaze with their bony hands. It seemed like they had no intention of letting go of their new comrade.
-I won’t even let you go.
Darkness laughed. With Servik’s abilities, he could collect all the games from around the world. The Liches may have been aiming for that and left Servik out of harm’s way.
-It already worked. Give up.
“Ha, okay. “Good things are good things.”
Baek Woo-jin shrugged his shoulders and stepped back. How about a chewy dragon? Having fun is the best.
**
Huh!
Dapple slashed his sword vertically. The sharp wind pressure from his sword split the training ground.
Baek Woo-jin quietly watched him strike his sword from behind.
-It’s really good.
‘Because I kept trying.’
Although Dapple was busy with the aftermath of the war, he swung his sword without a single day of rest.
“It’s just a feeling.”
“No one noticed...”
“I don’t know. “I feel like the prosecutor’s energy is fading.”
“You have a good feeling.”
“So when are you leaving?”
I tried to sneak away, but Sylvia wouldn’t let me go.
“Whoa, it’s tomorrow.”
“I see.”
Sylvia trembled slightly, perhaps because it was faster than expected.
“Why don’t you tell other people?”
“I plan to leave quietly.”
“You look like a prosecutor. “That...”
“Yes?”
“Are we going to the place where the people who appeared in the last war are?”
“yes. These are all people I have a connection with. Thankfully, he came to help me.”
“That’s something you’d do as a prosecutor.”
Sylvia smiled awkwardly, pursed and opened her mouth.
‘I can’t say it.’
I had previously decided that I would convey my feelings when he returned, but it felt like I was putting a burden on the person leaving.
Especially when I saw that there were so many people who had connections with him, I couldn’t stop talking.
“But wouldn’t it be better to have at least one person watch me leave?”
“Hmm, I guess so...”
Baek Woo-jin nodded. It didn’t seem to matter since she already knew.
“Please come to the vacant lot outside the Rhine Forest early in the morning before the sun rises.”
“thank you.”
Sylvia returned to the World Tree with a somewhat relaxed and somewhat determined expression.
-Tsk....
Darkness clicked its tongue as if it didn’t like it.
**
[Preparations are complete. Please come to that place with the two of you.]
Baek Woo-jin quietly left the dormitory while listening to Karen’s voice, which was stronger than before.
“I’m a little sad that I’m leaving.”
“Because I stayed longer than I thought.”
Moon Joo-young and Moo Young-gaek also seemed to be a little worried, their voices calming down.
“No, you didn’t see all the jewels here. “I have to come back someday.”
“It was because of that? You thief! “Stop embarrassing the Baek family!”
When I arrived at the vacant lot, listening to the now-familiar argument between Joo-young Moon and Young-gaek Mu, there were two more people there, contrary to expectations.
“Prosecutor.”
“Now it’s coming!”
“Master!”
Not only Sylvia, but also Dapple and Tycoon were leaning against a tree in the clearing.
“You’re just going to leave without saying anything! “You stupid bastard!”
“Master, I feel sorry for my acquaintance!”
“Uhm....”
“Hwiik....”
“I’m sorry.”
Baek Woo-jin glanced behind him. Moon Joo-young bowed his head, and Moo Young-gaek whistled while putting his head on his paw.
“The craftsman made my sword, so I happened to...”
“Deppl is our younger brother! “I couldn’t fake it.”
After all, it was those two. I sighed and looked at Dapple and Tycoon.
“sorry. “But I didn’t want to cause confusion because I might not be able to come back this time.”
“It may sound arrogant, but I think you are wrong, Master. Both me and Master are alive! We’ll see you again someday! must!”
“This time, I agree with that kid. “I have a bright future ahead of me, but I can’t meet anything if I can’t!”
“Hehe.”
Dapp clenched his fists and Tycoon frowned, puffing out his cheeks. Sylvia smiled as she looked at the two people.
Now that I think about it, it’s these three people. These people were always by my side when I first came here and when I left.
“Whoa, I guess I was wrong.”
Baek Woo-jin tapped his head and bowed towards the three people.
“I’m sorry for not telling you in advance that I was leaving. “I think I was only thinking about myself, thinking it was for everyone’s benefit.”
“Master....”
“You just need to know.”
Dapple bit his lip as if he was thrilled that their hearts were connected, and Tycoon chuckled as he put the smoked bear bag in his waistband.
Wooooow!
While the people gathered in the vacant lot were laughing, a pillar of black light rose from the center. It is a gap that moves between dimensions.
[sorry. I had no choice but to set the activation time in advance...]
‘It’s okay.’
He shook his head and motioned for Moon Ju-young and Mu Young-gaek to enter the pillar of light.
“I’ll go.”
“So when will you be back?”
After saying hello to the three people, Tycoon asked as he was about to enter the pillar of light for the last time.
“We are alive, so if we go along, we will meet someday.”
Baek Woo-jin looked at Deple and smiled.
“That’s a good answer.”
“Master!”
As I was about to enter the black pillar, feeling emotions flowing from chest to chest, I felt someone running behind me.
It’s Sylvia. She turned around and hugged her chest tightly.
“Thank you so much.”
“I heard that yesterday too. You can stop now... ah.”
Baek Woo-jin widened his eyes. As I was looking at Sylvia’s trembling shoulders, she raised her head and kissed me on the lips.
Along with the soft sensation of a silk handkerchief touching my lips, a mind-numbingly sweet fruity scent flowed into me.
[Aaaah!]
-Hoo!
“Oh oh!”
“Hey! “Master!”
“Prosecutor! “What are you doing out of envy?”
I couldn’t hear any noise from behind or in front.
“I will remember this moment for the rest of my life.”
Sylvia let herself go, smiling excitedly for the first time since they met.
“See you again.”
Baek Woo-jin smiled slightly, feeling the lingering scent of Sylvia remaining on his lips.
The moment the dew fell from her eyes, her vision darkened.
**
“Hmm...”
Baek Woo-jin opened his eyes. Although Sylvia’s scent had not disappeared, the son-in-law could see a space filled with white.
‘It’s been like this before.’
Previously, it had crossed over to Earth while waiting for something like a balance between dimensions.
“uh?”
However, there was something a little different. Unlike before when he was alone, there was a man standing tall in front of him.
