Chapter 404

Episode 404 Side Story 4 Darkness (3)

A dark, dark room that does not allow even the slightest light. Today’s drama was playing on the large screen hanging on the wall.

Wow!

Heukam clapped his hands loudly as he looked at Kang Ah-reum on the screen.

“Kya! “I knew I would do that.”

Her acting was so outstanding that you couldn’t even see the other actors next to her. His acting skills are such that it can be said that he is of a different class.

‘Half a year has already passed.’

Six months have passed since I entered the Shining Guild with Kang Ah-reum.

During that short and long time, Baek Woo-jin became an even greater prosecutor, and Kang Ah-reum took on the lead role in a terrestrial golden time drama.

And I....

“I’m just a wreck.”

Except for when Baek Woo-jin came to visit me once every two weeks and gave me a mission, the rest of the time I just watched dramas.

Thanks to not leaving the room, my bronze skin turned milky like Karen’s.

“I don’t know anymore about the sword and the training. “This is happiness and this is life.”

Heukam chewed dried squid and focused his gaze on the screen.

There are more than 10 dramas that come out a week, including terrestrial and comprehensive channels, and there are mountains of masterpieces that you haven’t seen. It is a happy life with endless things to enjoy.

‘But...’

He frowned as he cut off the squid’s legs. It was all good, but there was just one thing that was disappointing.

“Baek Woo-jin....”

It was a shame that he couldn’t suppress the nose of his student who was stronger than him.

‘I’ve become too strong.’

To be honest, Baek Woo-jin transcended even the language of being strong. His current level would be unprecedented, even including Earth and the Marutun Continent.

‘It’s hard to give up drama and just practice. ‘Is there no way to win?’

The level he has reached is not something that can be achieved through simple training. I needed something tangible.

‘Should we throw away the light and dark? Or should I add another thought....’

I stopped the drama for a moment and thought about it, but as expected, I couldn’t come up with an answer.

“Ugh, let’s just forget about it.”

I took a deep breath and played the drama again. I was able to quickly become immersed in the drama thanks to Kang Ah-reum’s outstanding acting skills.

“Oh....”

Kang Ah-reum slammed her fist into the wall. Her fist cracked and the wall was covered in blood.

Kang Ah-reum’s facial expressions were so natural that my heart pounded even though I knew it wasn’t real.

“Wow, Gosu. Absolutely expert.”

If her acting skills were to be judged by force, it seemed like she would be an absolute beginner. I pressed my face toward the screen in admiration.

[Ahhhh!]

The climactic scene where Kang Ah-reum screams begins.

Quaaaang!

As I swallowed dry saliva and concentrated, light came into the room along with the violent sound I heard six months ago.

“Yanma! You went on a mission the day before yesterday! “Get some rest today... huh?”

Darkness opened its mouth while arguing. It wasn’t Baek Woo-jin.

“Ka Karen?”

The person who broke through the door was Karen, sporting dazzling blonde hair.

I didn’t expect the guy who said he would come back after two years to adjust the split dimension to come back so quickly.

“Cain! What is this! “Is this a pigsty or a dump?”

Karen narrowed her eyes as she looked inside the room.

“I usually put it away, but since I just finished my mission, I left it there to take some comfort.”

Sweat was pouring down Darkness’s forehead.

“Really. If you ask Baek Woo-jin...”

I wanted to get out of this situation, even if it meant lying.

“Karen. “That’s a lie.”

Baek Woo-jin’s face suddenly appeared above Karen’s head.

“That guy didn’t listen even though I told him to clean up his room countless times. “It’s always been like that since Karen left.”

Baek Woo-jin ironically revealed the truth to Karen. As if resolving a grudge that had been quiet for a while.

“really?”

“yes. Even when I told him to come and clean it up every time, I ignored him and just watched the drama. “If it weren’t for the occasional mission, I would never have left this trash can.”

I shook my hands and my head frantically to tell him not to speak, but that damned bastard’s mouth wouldn’t close.

“Woo Woojin. It’s not that bad, right? Sometimes I clean it up.”

“Is cleaning up a piece of cake? Oh and...”

“Is there anything else?”

Karen motioned to Baek Woo-jin as if to say more.

“That guy tried to seduce an actor a few months ago and failed. Oh, it’s coming out right now. “This is him.”

Baek Woo-jin pointed to Kang Ah-reum on the screen and sighed as if it was stuffy.

‘That crazy guy!’

I screamed inside. That muzzle was pouring out everything it could say or say.

“I barely managed to stop him.”

“Yanma! I’m not trying to tease Areum, I’m just thinking about the future of Korean dramas! “I don’t have any selfish intentions at all... Ugh!”

“Mr. Areum? Mr. Arrmm?”

Darkness made an excuse and then closed its mouth. Karen’s round eyes opened sharply like a cat’s.

“Oh, I still have some work left to do, so I’ll stop!”

Baek Woo-jin gave a salute-like gesture and left the room. I really wanted to pat that guy on the back of the head.

“Cain.”

Karen smiled softly and sat down on the dirty floor. Although he was smiling, he was much more scared than when he was angry.

“Yes?”

“sit down.”

“Oh, that’s right.”

Darkness nodded quickly and sat down in front of Karen.

“Explain.”

The air is heavy. I feel like I’m standing face to face with a warrior who has reached the heights of transcendence.

“I can’t help it.”

She placed the tips of her fingers together as if representing a circle.

Cheeeeee!

A black light flashed from the hand-drawn circle, and a pitch-black sword that seemed to be coated in darkness rose out.

Less evil!

The sword that was vibrating on its own floated down and was caught in his hand.

Wooooow!

The sword cries out. My hands trembled from the enormous energy contained within the blade.

“This is...”

“It is a sword that collects energy obtained from dimensional cracks, using your body as a base, which was a demon sword.”

“Definitely...”

The shape of the sword was similar to how it used to be when it was a magic sword, and the blade felt as powerful as the Changcheon Sword.

“That’s a mythical sword.”

“Really?”

“okay. And that ability...”

Darkness lifted his face and gulped.

“It’s the wind.”

“wind? “Is it a wind attribute?”

The wind attribute is an attribute suitable for battle. The attack power was excellent, but the maintenance power was also good, making it usable.

“No, it’s not that wish, it’s hope.”

“Ah...”

“That sword has the ability to grant what its owner wants.”

“So if you want to become stronger, does that mean you can surpass Baek Woo-jin?”

“It’s not that kind of omnipotent power.”

Karen shook her head slowly.

“If you wish to become stronger, the sword will help you achieve that wish little by little. “It will increase your concentration when you practice, speed up your growth, and keep you in the moment of enlightenment a little longer.”

“ah!”

Darkness widened his eyes. Where is it? Even if it wasn’t omnipotent, it was an extremely capable sword.

“Are you giving this to me?”

“no.”

Karen snatched back the sword she was holding in her hand. I didn’t even hold it for a few seconds, but I felt extremely disappointed.

“I’ll give it to you if you promise.”

“What promise?”

“A promise to start training with that sword and challenge Woojin.”

“Hmm....”

“I like watching dramas and I like making a mess.”

Karen placed her hands on her hips and continued speaking.

“But I don’t want to see you looking so sad and unable to do this or that. “That’s not Cain!”

“....”

Darkness looked at Karen blankly and then laughed.

‘okay. That’s not me.’

Because he was even able to attack Kabaron, who had become a god. My original self was a person who didn’t know how to give up.

“i get it. “I promise.”

“You probably don’t have time to watch dramas?”

“are you okay. “I can watch it later.”

“You’re not giving up.”

“never.”

Darkness stood up and held out his hand. His eyes, which had been like rotten eggs, sparkled as if they had found new life.

“You have nice eyes.”

Karen smiled brightly and placed the sword in the dark hand.

Ugh!

The sword held in the hand of darkness cried once again.

“What is the name of this sword?”

“Not yet.”

“Then I’ll call it a recommendation.”

“Are you planning to chase after Baek Woo-jin?”

“Like you said, he caught up with me at zero, so I guess I can chase him too. And call me oppa.”

Darkness picked up the sword and headed towards the broken door.

“for a moment!”

Karen blocked his path.

“Are you going to do that now? Wearing a childish shirt with a pineapple on it?”

“This is a Hawaiian shirt. One of the most famous fashions....”

“That looks extremely ugly. “The only people who wear things like that are back-alley gangsters!”

“...I apologize to the 50 million people around the world who love Hawaiian shirts.”

“It doesn’t matter if there are 100 million people, so change into your training clothes and go. “Change your shoes too.”

Karen ignored the request to apologize and took off her Hawaiian shirt.

“Oh, I understand.”

Heukam sighed, changed into his military uniform, and headed to the training ground. Still, his steps seemed lighter, perhaps because of the new sword.

“how is it? Can Cain catch up with you?”

Karen asked, looking to the side where no one was around.

“If it’s darkness, it’s possible without a sword like that.”

Baek Woo-jin suddenly appeared and nodded.

“Good for you. In fact, that sword’s ability does not grant wishes.”

“uh? “Isn’t that a sword with no powers?”

“That’s not it.”

Karen put her finger to her mouth and smiled. It was a mischievous smile that she only showed when making fun of darkness.

However, it was filled with trust in darkness.

“The true power of that sword is....”
