Chapter 204
Episode 204 Demonic Sword vs. Divine Sword
“Why are there two moons?”
Baek Woo-jin opened his mouth wide when he saw the moon rising above the high castle wall. Two moons, a red moon and a blue moon, hung in the night sky.
“What on earth is this place?”
-This is the continent I lived on.
“What are you doing?”
-This is my hometown, as I always said!
“Uh…”
Baek Woo-jin tilted his head as if he didn’t understand, then looked at the window again and tilted his head again.
“crazy!”
After repeating this three times, I got up. A creaking sound was heard from the old bed.
“why! Why all of a sudden! You crazy guy! “What are you doing?”
Baek Woo-jin saw the darkness and screamed. No matter how much I wanted to go to my hometown, I couldn’t help but curse at him for bringing me here so suddenly.
-Calm down! I didn’t do it!
“what?”
-When you cut down the black tree, a huge light burst out from the base of the black tree, and you fainted as soon as you saw the light.
“Well, I guess so.”
-After that, a message appeared. A message sending you here.
“Then…”
-The system must have had a hand. Please check it out.
Baek Woo-jin immediately brought up the message window. There were several messages written that I had not seen.
[A rift in the dimension was cut.]
[The purified seeds of Elaine and the branches of Elaine on the Marutun Continent resonated.] [
The dimension is temporarily moved to the Marutun Continent.]
I don’t know the exact meaning, but it is a message. The meaning of was understandable.
“Are you saying that by cutting down the black neck that was trying to change dimensions, a dimension to this continent was opened?”
-After that, it seems that the seeds of the purified World Tree that came out of the Black Tree and the branches here resonated and summoned you here. Of course, the system must have had a hand.
“It’s temporarily the Marutun Continent…”
Baek Woo-jin read the message again and organized his thoughts.
“If it is temporary, it means there is a time limit.”
-I guess so.
“Then it might be urgent.”
-what?
“This is the system asking me for help.”
Baek Woo-jin’s voice was full of confidence.
-Help?
“The system has always been considerate of me. “If you called me so suddenly, there must be a reason.”
The system clearly wants something from itself. Because the matter became so urgent, it occurred to me that he had been summoned here as soon as he cut off the black neck.
“And our system can do this much.”
-Woo our system? Ugh system?
The blade of darkness flashed frighteningly.
-You put a double curse on me and the system can do that? This bastard is real!
“Well, I apologize for that. But what is Elaine’s seed?”
Baek Woo-jin cleared his throat and slightly bowed his head to Heuk-am. Seeing that sight, the darkness’s anger subsided a little.
-Tsk, this is it.
Darkness clicked his tongue, opened his inventory, and took out a green seed that looked like an almond multiplied 20 times.
-When the black neck was cut, the seed came out with a white light. I packed it right away after I was transported to this world.
“Hmm…”
I received the seed of the World Tree held out by the darkness. The texture was similar to an almond.
-As I said before, when planting a World Tree, you need seeds and branches from the previous World Tree. Those two resonated so much that I called you here.
“So does that mean there are also Elaine’s branches here?”
-I guess so.
While Baek Woo-jin was fiddling with the seeds of the World Tree, messages began to appear in front of him.
Ding!
[Calculate the reward for the quest < Tree that emerged from the darkness >.]
[3000 reward points and the title < The One Who Removed the Darkness > have been provided.]
[Intimacy with darkness has increased significantly.]
Even though I waited for a while, there was no additional reward. didn’t show up
-Hahaha! I think I lost additional rewards when I moved here? What should I do with this? I guess your system didn’t take care of it!
Heukam seemed to be in a better mood, giggling and teasing Baek Woo-jin.
“are you okay.”
Baek Woo-jin’s expression did not change much even as he heard the darkness’s ridicule. The system we have seen so far will provide even more care as soon as the case here is solved.
-Are you okay? I know it’s not okay! Be honest. I feel like shit right now…
ding!
As the darkness continued to tease Baek Woo-jin, a refreshing sound rang.
[Countless people were amazed by your performance.]
[Countless people were touched by your performance.]
[Countless people were thinking of you.]
[4000 points added. It will be paid as follows.]
[The title < He who removed the darkness > will be converted to the legendary title < The person who created hope from the darkness >.] [
The reward ??? will be unlocked. The awakening egg will be engraved on your body.]
-Ha, give me 7000 points at once? Plus, you upgrade the basic title to Les Legendaries in one go? Are you really crazy!
The darkness leapt up and down with volcanic fury.
It is true that Baek Woo-jin did a great job, but the Legendary title was too much for the extra points that exceeded the original compensation.
“Did you give me compensation for bringing you here?”
Baek Woo-jin scratched his cheek while looking at the reward. Even in his opinion, the compensation was excessive. In particular, I never thought that a regular title would be upgraded to legendary rather than unique.
-This really crossed the line!
“There is also a third. Do you know what an egg of awakening is?”
-Huh?
Darkness, which had finally confirmed the third reward awakening egg, let out a distorted voice.
-What is this again?
“You don’t know either?”
-The rewards given to you are all special! You system is full of shit! What did you give me again this time?
The darkness looked up at the sky and trembled with its blade. If there was a system in front of it, it was ready to be cut down right away.
– Just hearing the name, Awakening Egg, makes it obvious that it is a very shitty reward.
“You said you didn’t know.”
-Has there been anything bad among the things that have been given to you so far?
“sometimes.”
-You’re laughing! You didn’t mess up a single thing! You son of a pot of desire!
“Not to that extent.”
-Ugh, you really are…
Baek Woo-jin put out his hand and pushed away the darkness that was pointing the blade at him.
“Anyway, I think our system gave us additional rewards thanks to you. After all, your mouth is my blessing.”
-Keuuuuuuu! I will kill the system and go to hell…
“Hmm?”
It was when the darkness was threatening the system and Baek Woo-jin was about to confirm the title. Small footsteps were heard outside.
-Looking at the steps, it is the child who treated you.
‘kid?’
When Baek Woo-jin had doubts, the door opened.
“uh! “You’re awake!”
A cute girl with brown hair and freckles came in. There were bandages and some food in his hands.
“Are you feeling okay?”
“Ah…”
Baek Woo-jin looked at the girl with a mesmerized expression. Although it was definitely my first time hearing the language coming from her mouth, I was able to understand exactly what it meant.
‘what? ‘Why do I understand what you’re saying?’
-If you can understand, just say it. In your language.
“…are you okay.”
“What a relief!”
The girl with a round expression smiled brightly. I don’t know if it was the darkness or the system’s intervention, but the language was making sense.
“The spirit master was lying in the alley behind my house!”
“Spiritist?”
“Aren’t you a spiritist? “You smell like a spirit.”
The girl sniffed and pretended to smell.
“No, that’s right.”
Baek Woo-jin nodded and looked at the girl. The scent of a spirit was flowing from her too. However, it felt suppressed, as if the lid of a bottle had been tightly closed.
-It seems like they thought he was a spiritist because he left his sword behind.
“I’m Serin.”
“It’s Baek Woo-jin.”
“Your name is a bit unusual.”
Serin pronounced the name Baek Woo-jin exactly as it was.
“Did you heal me?”
“I’m embarrassed to say it’s treatment.”
“no. “It was helpful enough.”
Baek Woo-ji bowed his head to Serin. Although it was not skillful, it was a treatment filled with sincerity. It was true that she helped him, so he greeted her politely.
“No, you don’t have to do this!”
Serin waved his hand.
“Where on earth are we?”
“uh? “Aren’t you trying to run away to the Seiran or Charon Empire?”
“Seiran Alliance? Charon Empire? “Wait a minute, what is Sei?”
Baek Woo-jin’s eyes rolled quickly. Even if I didn’t know Charon, I had definitely heard Seiran.
-Seiran is the name of a kingdom in the far east. Phelan Island has spread underground in Arcane. Next to that island is Seiran.
‘that’s right! ‘I heard it then!’
At that time, I remembered that Darkness looked at the island underground and said that it was an island next to the Seiran Kingdom.
“You tried to desert but failed. There’s no need to be embarrassed. I understand the feeling of wanting to run away, but even if you escape here, it is almost impossible to survive. “You know.”
“Desertion? That’s not it. “I…”
Baek Woo-jin was about to open his mouth when he heard an unknown sound. An urgent bell rang outside.
Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!
Serin’s complexion turned pale at the stinging sound of the bell that made her frown.
“You can’t come out!”
Serin put the bandages and food she had brought on the table and hurriedly went out.
“What the hell is going on?”
Baek Woo-jin looked out the window. A high castle wall was visible under the moonlight, and white light was rising like a fountain above the wall.
-Go see. Something is strange.
“Do you think it’s strange?”
-I have a rough idea of where this place is, but it’s very different from the place I knew. I need to check.
“okay.”
I put the World Tree seed in my pocket and came out.
“uh…?”
As soon as Baek Woo-jin went outside, he stopped as if frozen and opened his eyes.
“Elf? “Is that really a dwarf?”
The people in the castle weren’t just humans. There was a gorgeous-looking elf and a sturdy-looking dwarf together.
“Move quickly!”
“They’re here!”
“Maintenance of battle lines!”
The three races went up to the wall without hesitation and settled down.
-What is this!
‘Why are you surprised? ‘It’s your hometown.’
-You don’t know? Elves and dwarves don’t get along very well! It’s almost impossible to be together like that!
The darkness waved its blade like crazy, as if it didn’t understand.
-hey. Go up quickly. Let’s see what’s going on!
Baek Woo-jin followed the elf’s back up to the castle wall and looked down at the castle wall.
“What is that…”
White light flashed in the form of a human. There was light in the form of not only humans but also elves and dwarves. Countless people of light surrounded the castle walls and did not move.
“omg! “Why did you come out!”
“huh?”
“Get in quickly. “You can’t get caught.”
Serin looked around and approached Baek Woo-jin. I whispered so that others could not hear.
“I wanted to tell you earlier, but I am not a deserter and I did not run away.”
“yes? Then, what about the spirit master….”
“Before that, what are those things?”
“Are you sure you don’t know the slaves of the Divine Sword?”
Serin looked up at Baek Woojin with a mesmerized expression. While I was in the castle, I couldn’t tell what my true identity was since I didn’t know whether I was a slave to Shingeom or a deserter.
“New sword? “What is a slave to the divine sword?”
“Shoot!”
“Shoot!”
Baek Woo-jin turned around at the attack signal. An elf holding a longbow fired arrows and ordered an attack.
‘That’s the guardian elf of the high elves.’
-right. Are there high elves here too?
The elf who fired the bow first was wearing the same outfit as the guardian elves he saw when he entered Darkhan’s dimension.
Bub bub bub!
Baek Woo-jin turned his head and looked under the castle wall. Beings made of light did not move even after being hit by arrows and spears and crossbows.
“Why are they still?”
“Because you won’t die. And now he’s threatening me.”
“Threat?”
“yes. “They are holding us hostage and threatening us to come rescue them.”
Serin glared at the madmen with angry eyes.
Ugh!
As she said, the slaves of the Divine Sword who disappeared after being hit by spears and arrows were regenerated in their place.
‘You’re threatening me to come rescue you?’
I couldn’t really understand what it meant. I looked at the elves and human dwarves once again.
-Your eyes are dying.
‘okay. ‘It contains despair.’
The eyes of the tribes guarding the castle walls were dark and sunken. I felt like I felt fear and despair towards those people of light.
“Serin. Here…”
When I was about to ask Serin again, I felt the soft yet vast energy of nature.
I looked back. A female elf with shining green hair, skin as clear as ice, and perfect facial features came up to the castle wall.
Unlike the high elf of the sword that guarded the Black Tree, he was a high elf with a natural and warm aura.
“Come to your senses! You need to pull yourself together! “What he’s aiming for is to break our hearts!”
The high elf, who was cheering up the people on the castle wall with his sonorous voice, made eye contact with Baek Woo-jin.
Quaaaaa!
At that moment, Elaine’s seed in Baek Woo-jin’s pocket and the bracelet the high elf was wearing on his wrist burst into magnificent blue light.
“That can’t be right!”
The high elf’s big eyes grew as if they were about to pop out. He pointed to Baek Woo-jin’s pocket with a trembling hand as if he couldn’t believe it.
“Is that bracelet a tree branch?”
Baek Woo-jin was convinced that the tree branch-shaped bracelet on the high elf’s wrist was the tree branch of Elaine who had called him.
‘I understand now.’
When I saw the resonating seeds and branches, I felt like I knew why the system had called me so urgently.
