I Became a Renowned Family’s Sword Prodigy
Chapter 271

Episode 271 Nest (3)

Dragon.

The most powerful creature with an absolute presence rose above the horizon.

It had a triangular face that looked like a shark, and two horns like elephant ivory protruded from the top of its head.

The blue scales that protrude sharply like thorns maximize the dragon’s mystery and splendor.

[Koooooo!]

The dragon raised its head and roared towards the sky and the sea.

The Mir Guild’s ship stopped as the dragon pierced its terrifying presence.

The people inside the probe froze in fear.

“Ugh!”

Baek Woo-jin shook his hands. Even though I was far away, I could still feel the dragon’s brutal energy.

‘It’s different…’

That thing is not something that can be described as a monster. It was different from any monster I had ever seen. I was trying to cross the line and reach the sky.

Coo coo coo coo!

The dragon slowly lowered its head and glared at the human ship that had invaded its territory. It opened its huge jaw wide, its black eyes burning.

Gooooooo!

Between the hundreds of jagged teeth, a tremendous amount of cold air seemed to freeze the entire ocean.

-Ice Breath…

As if the words of darkness had become a spell, the dragon let out a breath of cold air from its mouth.

Quaaaaa!

The white cold air poured out by the dragon attacked the Mir Guild’s probe.

Pead deud deuk!

The ice breath tore through the barrier and protective barrier and froze the Mir Guild’s entire ship.

The cold was so strong that even the waves that grabbed the ship froze, creating a glacier-like appearance.

Damn it!

The breath spread over the surface of the water and began to freeze the entire ocean along the horizon.

Everything that my breath touched was frozen. The entire sea was filled with cold air, as if it were a polar region.

Even Baek Woo-jin, who was standing on the shore, could feel the cold.

Fuuuuuuu!

The dragon raised its long tail that seemed to pierce the sky and struck the frozen Mir Guild probe.

Kwaaaaaaaa!

The probe broke into pieces and sank, and the frozen sea split in half.

The dragon slowly raised his head and saw Baek Woo-jin standing on the shore.

Baek Woo-jin also made eye contact with the dragon while pressing down on the ground with both feet.

Coo coo coo coo!

The out-of-class humans and dragons measured each other’s abilities across the sea.

The dragon looked at Baek Woo-jin’s whole body and went down into the sea with a twisted smile as if he were a human.

“Hmm…”

Baek Woo-jin swallowed dryly as he watched the sinking dragon. It was powerful yet raw and pure mana.

It was impossible to predict what ability to use with that mana.

-Why is that lizard here?

The darkness screamed. I couldn’t figure out why the being who was said to be the strongest among all races had appeared here.

-You don’t even know about this?

“This has never happened in my past life.”

Baek Woo-jin shook his head. It makes no sense to not remember something as large-scale as the appearance of a dragon. The dragon has never appeared.

“Is that a blue dragon?”

-okay. They are a blue race called sea dragons.

“Did you see that guy’s eyes?

-eye? Why are my eyes suddenly closed?

“It was black.”

Baek Woo-jin’s eyes lit up as he looked at the ice floating on the sea like a glacier.

-It was black? The dragon’s eyeballs are white like a human’s, and the pupils are long and slit like a reptile’s.

“no. I definitely saw it. “That guy’s eyes were black.”

-Hmm, then….

“I think the guy who sent the King of the Dead Sea sent the dragon.”

A dragon that never existed in a previous life appeared on Jeju Island, and its eyeballs were stained black.

When I saw those black eyes, I thought that the guy who sent the High Elves and brought down the King of the Dead Sea had sent a dragon targeting me.

“The question is, why aren’t you targeting me?”

Even though the dragon felt its own energy, it sank back into the sea.

I couldn’t understand why the target wasn’t moving even though it was right in front of me.

-It’s my guess, but it seems like they’re getting used to the mana here.

“adaptation?”

-okay. Dragons are a race that is very sensitive to mana. Coming over from the Maturun Continent, it would have taken time to adapt to the mana here.

“So you’re saying that the adaptation hasn’t finished yet and that you can move after it is done?”

-It is highly likely. At that time, the monsters will be directly controlled and moved, so it will be much more dangerous than now.

“Then it means we have to deal with it quickly.”

Baek Woo-jin smoothed his fingers. I’m still strong, but I couldn’t imagine how much stronger I would become once I got used to it.

-First of all, if you look at its size, it would be about the size of a worm.

“Worm level?”

-Dragons are classified according to the number of years they have lived. The guy who just came out looks like he’s been around for about 3,000 years.

“3000 years….”

– However, the problem now is not its age, but its race.

The darkness tsk tsk and clicked its tongue.

-There is a saying that the strongest dragon among dragons is the red dragon, but the hardest dragon to catch is the blue dragon.

“Is it because it’s in the sea?”

-okay. The sea is a place that has not been conquered by humans. Since he has a home there, it’s almost impossible to catch him.

Baek Woo-jin nodded. Since it goes in and out of the sea like it’s my own home, the difficulty of catching it is beyond imagination.

-If it’s dangerous, dive into the sea and don’t come out. It’s really tricky. Why did Blue show up?

I have never heard of a blue dragon being caught in the sea. The only time a blue dragon was caught was when it came onto land.

“Would it be difficult to catch it alone? If you fight together with the spirits…”

-Blue Dragon can summon the Spirit King of Water. The sea monsters scattered around will also attack you, so you’ll need someone to help you.

“You’re tight.”

Baek Woo-jin frowned. I don’t know anything else, but I felt like I needed people to block the monsters around me when I was fighting the dragon.

“I have to move first.”

Baek Woo-jin left the coast with a stern expression and headed toward the Talent Association.

**

Because there were many eyewitnesses, the information that blue dragons appeared on Jeju Island spread around the world.

Senior guilds who heard the news rushed to Jeju Island even before the association sent a request for support.

The reason was simple. This was because of the symbolism of the existence of a dragon and the enormous reward that could be obtained by capturing a dragon.

From Dragon Scale Dragon Bone to Dragon Heart, which can be said to be superior to any other elixir. There was nothing to throw away.

Large guilds pretended to be concerned about Jeju Island and Korea and gathered in Jeju Island to take possession of everything about the dragon.

Baek Woo-jin entered the auditorium of the association where talented people gathered and looked around.

On the left, there were large guilds that could be recognized just by their names, including the American Typhoon, the Japanese Sea God, and the Chinese Ghost Guild.

On the other side were Lucas Arcane from the Water Transport Guild and Mir Guild, and Goblin from the Japanese production guild that was said to be comparable to them.

Just as Baek Woo-jin was looking at the guilds, the eyes of the powerful guild members were also focused on Baek Woo-jin.

‘Actually, dragons aren’t the only rewards here.’

Baek Woo-jin chuckled as he felt the attention being paid to him.

-what?

‘These people are not just trying to catch the dragon, they are trying to catch the dragon before me or after defeating me.’

It is no exaggeration to say that the name Baek Woo-jin is currently reaching the sky.

The guilds here were fiercely competitive in order to capture the dragon before themselves and gain both substance and honor.

“The Master himself came.”

Baek Woo-jin approached the place where the Arcane Guild was and greeted Seo Gong-myeong.

“Because it’s not normal. Even if you can’t go out in person, you have to come here.”

Seo Gong-myeong smiled slightly and pointed to the chair next to him as if telling him to sit down. Baek Woo-jin nodded and sat down on the chair next to him.

“Are you going out yourself, prosecutor?”

“When will I ever have to fight a dragon again? “It’s a great opportunity for training.”

“Fighting a dragon is training, so it’s on a different scale.”

Seo Gong-myeong smiled with admiration in his eyes.

“Besides, I don’t see anyone here who can catch a dragon.”

Baek Woo-jin looked around and muttered. It is neither confidence nor a joke. Among them, there was no one who could catch a dragon.

The only person who could deal with him was himself.

“Then…”

“My name is Han Seong-yoon from the Emergency Response Department of the Ability Association.”

As Seo Gong-myeong was about to open his mouth, a man in his 30s came up to the stage and bowed his head.

‘It’s been a while since that person.’

-Have you seen it?

‘That person briefed me when I came to Jeju Island and caught demons.’

The person who came out to capture the demon Killua was also Han Seong-yoon. Perhaps because I was still working in the Emergency Response Department, I had aged a bit.

“I will now begin the briefing on dragons. The dragon that appeared in the waters off Jeju Island is the blue dragon, which is over 60 meters long and is believed to be able to move freely in the sea. According to prosecutor Baek Woo-jin, who was a witness, the Blue Dragon’s breath has a power several times greater than that of a 9th grade cold spell.”

Han Seok-yoon continued his explanation by showing pictures of the frozen sea and a picture of a blue dragon.

“Because it only used breath, we don’t know whether it actually uses magic or what its intelligence is. However, seeing monsters keep appearing makes me think that the dragon is after something. “We need to do it as quickly as possible.”

“The witness is Prosecutor Baek Woo-jin?”

Master Kazuma of the Sea God Guild raised his hand.

“That’s not it. “Although they differ slightly, most of the witnesses expressed the same opinion as Prosecutor Baek Woo-jin.”

“Well, it sure looks huge and dangerous, but there’s no need to be too scared from the beginning. “Witnesses always feel bigger and more dangerous than what they see, so you don’t have to fall for what they say.”

Kazuma stood up from his seat and came down from the podium. He continued speaking while looking at Baek Woo-jin.

“Prosecutor Baek Woo-jin, have you caught the City Serpent?”

“I caught the Sea Serpent King.”

“How big was it?”

“It was about 30 meters.”

“I caught a sea serpent that was over 50 meters long. These are special monsters called Emperor Sea Serpents. “They emit cold and wind flames similar to that dragon.”

Kazuma snapped his fingers, and a huge picture of the Sea Serpent appeared in the air. It seemed to be the Emperor Sea Serpent I just mentioned.

Although it was different from the Blue Dragon, it had a very similar appearance.

“That means that if you pull that thing up from the sea, it may not be a dragon but a larger Emperor Sea Serpent.”

-It’s terrible.

‘Leave it alone. ‘I didn’t see it, so I said something like that.’

Because I didn’t see the dragon, I said such bullshit. If I had seen it right in front of me, I would have wet myself.

“As you know, our country has sea on all four sides. I’ve fought monsters of that size often. In fact, Giant Whale and Kraken were similar in size to that dragon.”

Kazuma showed pictures of the monsters he had caught above the picture of the dragon behind him.

He continued to emphasize that they had caught many boss-level sea monsters.

“We are specialists when it comes to naval combat. I promise. If you just listen to our instructions, we will minimize the damage and catch that snake that brags about being a dragon. “Give me command.”

“Hmm…”

Han Seong-yoon narrowed his eyes. In fact, the Sea God Guild had the most experience in battles on the sea and had captured several boss-level monsters.

However, I didn’t like it because it seemed like they were taking the initiative and ignoring Baek Woo-jin in response to what happened in Korea.

Han Sang-yoon looked at Baek Woo-jin. This was because the situation changed depending on how he moved.

-Look at the talking snag. At that level, you’re asking me to break your head.

“Let me tell you one thing.”

Baek Woo-jin uncrossed his arms and stood up. At that moment, Baek Woo-jin’s presence, which seemed like a small dot, expanded frighteningly.

“Big…”

The moment Kazuma caught Baek Woo-jin’s gaze, he felt his heart tighten. I got goosebumps as if I was looking at myself from the abyss.

“That’s a dragon. This is a different monster than the Sea Serpent or Giant Whale you caught. No, the word monster doesn’t fit either. Even if it is called a disaster, it is not enough. “I know the standards of the people here are high, but if we take it easy, no one will come back alive.”

“Joe, you’re a little mistaken. I’m not saying it’s easy to see. There is no need to be scared from the beginning. We will prepare thoroughly, so there is no need to worry. And on the sea, I know more than you.”

Even in a discouraged state, Kazuma declared to the end that he was better than Baek Woo-jin at sea. Ogi didn’t want to believe that he had just been pushed aside by Baek Woo-jin’s energy.

“….”

Baek Woo-jin decided not to say any more. Unless they encounter the dragon directly, their stubbornness will not change.

Moreover, the eyes of Kazuma and the talented people who followed him showed jealousy toward him and a desire to make his name known.

To them now, his words were just a warning to their ears.

-Hey, stop talking. Guys like that don’t listen. My mouth hurts.

‘okay. It was unnecessary.’

Since it is a life-threatening matter, I wanted to allow everyone to survive as much as possible, but if it turns out like that, there is no answer.

“Then how about this? We and Prosecutor Baek Woo-jin are moving separately. “Then we can know for sure who is right, right?”

Kazuma was unable to hide his twisted desire and eventually suggested a bet.

“This situation right now is no joke. This is Korea, and even if we join forces, it won’t be enough…”

“That’s correct. But…”

When Han Seong-yoon was about to step forward, Kazuma interrupted him.

“We have been moving separately until now. Rather than joining hands, don’t you think it would be better for like-minded people to move separately? “Is there anyone who agrees with what I say?”

When Kazuma raised his hand as if to raise his hand, Typhoon and the Goblin Guild raised their hands.

The only guilds and abilities that stayed still were Arcane and Korean guilds.

‘I’ve prepared it in advance.’

Looking at that, it became clear that the guilds had formed alliances and prepared in advance.

“wait a minute! You can’t act recklessly like this! This is Korea!”

“It’s good.”

Baek Woo-jin nodded. There was ample warning. He said he would be the bait for me, so I am just thankful.

“How about instead the winner of the bet gets the dragon and everything he gets from this battle?”

“great! “As expected, it’s refreshing.”

“I’ll see you later then.”

Baek Woo-jin cooled his gaze as he looked at Kazuma, who was smiling.

-I’m going to leave behind everything….

**

Since various preparations, including reinforced ice barriers, were needed, the association decided to set off together three days later.

Baek Woo-jin decided to move with other Korean talents on a boat prepared by the Arcane Guild and came to the beach.

-To battle a blue dragon, floating from the sea or flying is basic. At least it should be able to float on the water.

“Are you talking about the award fee?”

-It’s higher than that. You must be able to float in the sea without running or walking.

“I guess I should give it a try.”

I could still pay for the water, but I didn’t know what would happen if I stayed still.

Tooung.

I slowly lifted my feet onto the sea. Concentric circles spread across the surface of the sea where I put my feet up, and my body floated lightly above the water.

“Oh, it works!”

Even though I was treading water very slowly, it did not sink.

-What is it? Why does it happen all at once!

Darkness screamed without realizing it. It didn’t make sense to be that good from the beginning.

I don’t know the cost of the water, but in order to walk that slowly, Auror and martial arts techniques must be in proper harmony.

No matter how genius you are, it is impossible to be that good from the beginning.

“It just works.”

-Where in the world is this?!

“Let me feel the harmony of auror and flow martial arts with my eyes that see the flow.”

Baek Woo-jin smiled and walked leisurely on the sea as if taking a walk.

As I used my eyes to see the flow and the body of all things, I had a sense of what I needed to do to stay afloat.

It wasn’t difficult to float on the water by properly combining the techniques of floating and swimming.

“If you practice swordsmanship in this state, the effect will be doubled.”

-Crazy….

Darkness sighed as if it was absurd. I tried to teach him how to float in the sea for 3 days, but he did it in an instant. No words came out.

“Don’t panic too much and tell me the next technique… okay?”

When Baek Woo-jin was trying to practice swordsmanship on the sea, Seolbingi, who had been summoned to guard the coast, came flying and fluttering.

“Tweet!”

“Why are you here…huh?”

He tried to hug Sulbing, but he jumped into the sea instead of towards him.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

The moment Sulbing entered the sea, the waves fluttered like flags and a woman made of blue water stood up.

[Ugh, I got caught because of you!]
