I Became a Renowned Family’s Sword Prodigy
Chapter 168

Episode 168 A cool reunion

– They gave me an additional reward on top of the original reward, and then what else did they give me… Wow!

The darkness suddenly screamed, angering the system.

This was because Caliban’s residual spirit, which had been absorbed into the blade, flinched.

-No way….

Darkness felt Caliban’s remaining spirit moving and recognized the system’s thoughts.

-You son of a thief!

The system was trying to create a new reward for Baek Woo-jin by using Caliban’s remnant soul that had been absorbed into him.

-He was worse than Muyounggaek!

Unlike when he captured Breeze, Caliban’s residual spirit was not absorbed by Baek Woo-jin.

I thought the system had a conscience and tried to slowly extinguish Caliban’s residual spirit, but I never thought that they would try to take it away again.

-You won’t get hit twice! Let’s see who wins!

The darkness concentrated all of its power and grabbed Caliban’s remaining spirit in an attempt to escape.

“What are you doing?”

Because Baek Woo-jin did not properly see that Heukam had absorbed Caliban’s remaining spirit, it seemed that Heukam was putting on a show by himself.

-I will never lose to you. never!

The darkness pulled Caliban’s remaining spirit to itself with all its might.

It was as hard as holding my breath over and over again, but I didn’t give up.

-I am not a water purifier filter!

It was better to die than to lose to a system that used him as a filter and tried to convey only pure energy to Baek Woo-jin.

-Ugh!

The tug of war between darkness and the system lasted for over an hour.

The system seemed quite taken aback, as if it had not expected the darkness to resist this much.

“Ha-am…”

Baek Woo-jin opened his mouth and yawned. Although he realized the situation late, he had a bored expression on his face, as if he wasn’t particularly interested.

Even if the darkness became stronger, he would become stronger, and he would become stronger even if Caliban’s residual spirit entered him, so it didn’t really matter who won.

“Oh, I need to check that.”

Baek Woo-jin brought up the title window and checked the options for the newly acquired legendary title < Demon Slayer >.

[Demon Slayer]

Grade: Legendary.

It is given only to those who kill a strong demon alone. When dealing with demons, your abilities are strengthened and your resistance and detection ability against demons are increased.

All abilities increase by 30% when dealing with demons.

Resistance to demonic energy increases by 40%.

40% increase in detection of demonic energy.

“That’s amazing…”

Even though it is limited to demons, its terrifying abilities have increased and its resistance to demon energy has also increased.

Because it was a title, not an item, it was more useful to use.

“It would have been fun to see it.”

If Darkness had seen this information, he would have screamed and collapsed again, but Baek Woo-jin closed the title window and lay down on the bed.

It was a funny situation, but I wanted to leave it alone because I felt bad for touching the darkness that was working hard on something for the first time in a long time.

-Ugh….

Darkness let out a harsh groan as if it had reached its limit, but did not relax its strength.

He held onto Caliban’s remaining spirit like a child hugging his only toy.

-ah!

Darkness let out an exclamation filled with surprise. Caliban’s remnant spirit, which tried to escape, settled on his blade again.

I felt like the system was taking a look at Caliban’s remnants, so I let my guard down, but I didn’t take any action to take it back.

There was no response as if he had given up.

-This won! I won!

The darkness cheered.

I felt like I was about to burst into tears.

I was more moved than ever before by the fact that I had broken the arrogance of a system that I had always suffered from.

“Hmm….”

Baek Woo-jin got up from the bed, rubbing his sleepy eyes. I think I watched it for about an hour and went to sleep, but it looks like it’s finally over.

– Baek Woo-jin! I won. I beat the system of filling mayonnaise in a large bowl!

“Oh yeah.”

-I’m sorry, but there is no longer any special reward for you. Please understand that Caliban’s residual spirit was originally mine.

“I see.”

Baek Woo-jin still wasn’t very interested.

I received a lot of additional compensation, and the darkness becoming stronger was no different from becoming stronger myself.

-Now the system must have seen me again. Don’t look down on me anymore….

As the darkness let out a faint laugh, a warning sound was heard.

Ding!

[As an additional compensation, Caliburn’s characteristic Chang-hee is converted to Geom-hee.] A

new spear appeared in front of Baek Woo-jin, who was scratching his neck with his eyes half-closed from sleepiness.

“huh? “You give me compensation?”

Baek Woo-jin pointed to the characteristic of Geomhee and saw darkness.

-….

“Darkness?”

The darkness was frozen like a plaster statue and did not move.

-Ah…

it was ridiculous.

Baek Woo-jin gained Caliburn’s power while he was sleeping, which he had protected by pooping for over three hours. My stomach was turning upside down.

-Are you trying to take something from me and give it to me when you could have given it to me so easily? The real devil is not something like Caliburn. That’s the system!

Darkness stabbed his blade towards the sky.

The system tried to give away what was its own, even though it had the ability to give rewards on its own.

It was almost scary because it felt like I was watching a real psycho.

-Hey, you crazy system! Follow me to the rooftop! You compensated so well….

“Oh, you didn’t see this, right?”

When Heukam exploded in extreme anger, Baek Woo-jin turned on the information from < Demon Slayer > and showed it in front of Heukam.

-….

Darkness looked blankly at the information on the demon slayer and then fell to the floor as helplessly as a crumpled paper airplane.

-Ugh!

* * *

When I opened my eyes, the edges of my vision were stained black.

As soon as I saw the black frame-like frame, I realized that this was a dark memory.

Since I was pretty used to it by now, I immediately got up and looked for darkness.

‘There it is.’

Darkness was standing alone in a ruined city, confronting about a hundred people.

‘It’s like a scene I’ve seen before.’

I remembered seeing it before.

Even then, darkness was fighting dozens of people.

However, the place was different then and now.

‘No no!’

Baek Woo-jin looked closely at the people on the other side of the darkness and narrowed his eyes.

‘They weren’t human.’

When I saw the silhouette, I thought it was a human, but the beings in front of the darkness were definitely not human.

Its skin was all black, its eyes were black and white, and its teeth were sharp like those of an animal.

The nails were thick and sharp, as if they could be used as weapons.

‘What on earth are these guys?’

Excluding the eyes, teeth, and nails, those monsters were more beautiful and gorgeous than the celebrities you see on TV.

They were strange monsters in many ways.

“Cruck…”

“Kahak…”

The monsters seemed unable to speak and were making sounds like monsters or beasts.

“Phew….”

Baek Woo-jin turned his head at the sound of darkness sighing. Darkness was staring at the monsters motionlessly, as if they were mannequins.

“…sorry.”

Darkness muttered that and rushed towards the monsters.

“Kwaaaak!”

The monsters moved faster than most warriors, swinging their claws and teeth, but the darkness had already moved behind them.

Sigh!

Heukam pulled out the sword from his waist and struck Seomya towards the monsters.

The black energy of the island covered not only the monsters but also the ruined city.

Kwaaaaang!

With the sound of the ground cracking and exploding, the monsters were buried in the ruined city.

“….”

Darkness sheathed the sword with an unwavering hand.

However, his lips, which were closed tightly like a castle gate, were trembling.

“I am so sorry.”

With the last words of darkness, Baek Woo-jin felt the world go away.

“Ah…”

When I opened my eyes again, I saw the ceiling of the dorm. Darkness flew in front of Baek Woo-jin’s eyes.

-Did you see it?

“What are those monsters?”

-I don’t know either.

It was clearly his memory, but he couldn’t remember anything about the situation, why they fought, or where it was.

-However, after I became a sword, I met guys that gave off similar vibes to those monsters.

“where?”

-I don’t really remember. It wasn’t an empire or a kingdom, it was when I was with someone…

“Think about it carefully. “That might be a hint.”

When Baek Woo-jin and Heuk-am were talking about memories, a message appeared before their eyes.

[Caliburn’s residual spirit has melted into the darkness.]

[The attack form of the darkness changes.]

[Island’s attack power increases and the attack range increases.]

[The darkness’s blades increase to two and the detection range increases. ]

[The attack power of the black sword greatly increases.]

The blade of the dark sword flashed black like ink.

“Oh…”

The figure of darkness was still a short dagger, but the energy contained within it had become much darker and larger.

-Catch me.

“Attack form?”

-okay!

Perhaps because he was very excited, Dark’s voice rose two tones higher than usual.

“okay.”

Baek Woo-jin chuckled, grabbed the darkness and released the aura.

Cheeeeee!

The darkness turned dark red and began to stretch out.

Until yesterday, it was about the size of a small sword, but now it has become so long that it is not much different from an arm sword.

“That’s great.”

These were not empty words.

The sight of darkness with a dark red aura radiating from the blade that had fallen out was a picture of a picture.

-It’s not all about being cool. The attack power and power of skills have also increased significantly!

“okay. “It’s definitely changed.”

Baek Woo-jin felt the wave of power transmitted through the black handle and nodded.

If I used the sword techniques of darkness now, I felt like I could exert a different power than yesterday.

“congratulations.”

-Just this much. There is still a long way to go.

Every time Darkness spoke, there was laughter in his voice. He seems to be feeling quite good.

-System. Let’s keep going like this from now on.

For the first time, Darkness didn’t get angry while calling out the system.

-Once Baek Woo-jin has grown, let me grow next, and then let Baek Woo-jin grow again. The balance is just right. huh?

Ding!

[You have resonated with the grown power of darkness.]

[The swordsman’s level increases.]

[Swordsmanship ability increases.]

[The five-star ability increases.]

As soon as the darkness finished speaking, a message appeared saying that Baek Woo-jin’s ability had increased.

“You listen really well. “Doesn’t the system like you?”

-Not now, you crazy bastard!

The good feeling of darkness did not last even a minute.

* * *

Baek Woo-jin was returning to his family home when he met Mu-yeong-guest who was waiting for him.

“What are you doing here?”

“I was waiting for the prosecutor!”

Mu Young-gaek approached Baek Woo-jin with sparkling respect in his eyes.

“I saw the video. “I’ve watched it a hundred times!”

Mu Young-gaek’s face was red, like a child excited after watching a hero cartoon.

“Why don’t you take me with you too? “I’m sorry!”

“What are you doing while fighting demons?”

“I wonder what kind of items the demons have.”

“thing? “Are you really trying to steal something from the demon race?”

“yes!”

Muyeonggaek was proudly saying that he would steal items from the demons.

“When a demon dies, its body disappears completely. “If you’re going to steal, you have to steal it before they kill you.”

“….”

“Ah, I washed my hands, but it’s okay to steal things from demons, right?”

Muyoung-gaek laughed and rubbed his hands. If there was a demon in front of me, I would have just stolen it.

-I told you. That guy has a completely different way of thinking than us. Just as you are crazy about swords, you are crazy about stealing.

‘I know. I realize this again.’

Baek Woo-jin smiled absurdly and headed towards the family’s main gate.

“Are you going to the family? “Can I come with you?”

“You let me in.”

Baek Woo-jin had Moon Ju-young make a pass for Mu-yeong guest so that he could enter the Baek house.

“It’s annoying because Guard Moon nags me when you’re not around.”

“I guess so.”

Moon Ju-young didn’t like Mu-yeong-gaek’s theft, so whenever she saw him, she would nag him.

“let’s go. “Because I have something to tell you.”

“yep!”

Moo Young-gaek ran like a puppy and was next to Baek Woo-jin.

“What do you need me to do? “If it’s theft, please let me do it!”

“They said they washed their hands.”

“If it’s Prosecutor A’s order, I can stick my hand in the poop.”

“Anyway, what you said.”

Baek Woo-jin crossed the front gate while listening to Moo Young-gaek’s flattery rather than flattery. He headed to the Ministry of Public Administration and Security to report.

“Really. If you give me the order, I can steal Daeyeonmunju’s cherished items…”

“Stop.”

Baek Woo-jin stopped Mu Young-gaek’s words and looked ahead. A man I hadn’t seen in a while was approaching.

“Woojin.”

Baek Seong-hyeon was about to leave the family home with the Cheonggeomdae.

“I enjoyed watching the video. “Was it amazing?”

Baek Seong-hyeon maintained the proud and affectionate face of his third brother.

Baek Woo-jin’s face was smiling brightly, as if he was really happy with his growth.

“I am so happy to see you have improved so much.”

“….”

Baek Woo-jin smiled silently. He glanced at Mu Young-gaek next to him and then threw a bracelet with a jewel to Baek Seong-hyeon.

widely.

Baek Seong-hyeon frowned very briefly and then grabbed the bracelet that was thrown at him.

“Why are you doing this to me?”

“also.”

Baek Woo-jin chuckled.

He walked slowly and stood in front of Baek Seong-hyeon.

And then he pulled out the arm sword.
