I Became a Renowned Family’s Sword Prodigy
Chapter 95

Episode 95. The level is different. (2)

-What happened again this time? You bastard who caused the accident.

Darkness looked at the mission book that Baek Woo-jin had crumpled, but there was no special information written in it.

-It doesn’t look like anything special.

‘that’s right. Nothing special. ‘Because no one knew until now.’

Baek Woo-jin slowly exhaled.

‘If you look here, it says that the monsters that will appear in the crack are level 4.’

Baek Woo-jin pointed to the grade written on the document.

-however?

‘The crack will split and a grade 4 monster, True Horn, will come out.’

-True Horn? Are you talking about a cow with one horn?

‘that’s right.’

True Horn is a monster that looks like a water buffalo with a straight horn in the middle of its forehead.

-You can handle that much with your eyes closed.

‘It’s not just me, anyone with level 5 abilities can solve it without difficulty. But…’

Baek Woo-jin bit his lip.

‘A monster cow that only appears in mythology appears among the True Horns.’

-A monster from mythology?

‘okay. A minotaur will appear from the crack.’

Minotaurs are not simply strong monsters.

It is a special boss monster between grades 6 and 7.

This guy has a power called ‘fighting’ that strengthens his abilities, so those with poor abilities cannot even stand in front of him.

-It’s going to be an uproar because it’s a Minotaur.

‘I actually saw devastating damage.’

Baek Woo-jin bit his lip.

‘In the past life, the level 5 and level 6 abilities who were waiting to block the crack were exterminated, and the soldiers who blocked the nearby area and the citizens who evacuated the police all died.’

It was such a damaging event and many things have changed since then that I remembered the location of the document as soon as I saw it.

‘The Minotaur was caught only after it devastated Myeong-dong.’

-As expected…

His body trembled as if the darkness was terrible.

There is no need to say anything about the strength of the Minotaur that uses martial arts.

The moment you let your guard down, it will be torn apart in an instant.

“Master Tao? Is there a problem?”

Moon Ju-young looked at Baek Woo-jin, who was frowning with worried eyes.

“It’s no big deal.”

Baek Woo-jin shook his head.

“Say you will accept this mission.”

“All right. If you have any concerns…”

“Okay. “I will definitely tell you.”

Moon Ju-young bowed her head to Baek Woo-jin and returned.

It seemed like he was worried about Baek Woo-jin, as he looked back several times as he went.

-It looks like he used speculation to erase his power.

‘that’s right. After the Minotaur, guys like that appear often.

-Well, you haven’t met a monster that uses speculation yet, have you?

‘I’ve never even seen him, let alone met him.’

In order for a monster to use Fighting, it must be a higher level boss among level 6 bosses or the boss of a level 7 dungeon.

Because such dungeons are not common, it is not common for people with abilities to encounter monsters with fighting spirit.

-If you feel real fighting, you will feel like there is a warrior stronger than you in front of you. The momentum of speculation is stronger than that of Aurors.

‘Then what can I do to survive?’

-It’s like a fight between unmanned people. You can’t lose momentum. As soon as you see him, awaken the aura in your entire body.

If you start after being attacked by a roar filled with fear, no matter how much Baek Woo-jin you are, you will start with great damage.

-It seems a little fast, but it’s not bad. He is the perfect opponent to test your sword skills.

“Yeonhwa.”

As Jeok Yeon-hwa was finishing her herbivorous training, Jeok Gyeong-hoon approached, waving a piece of paper.

“I brought you something good.”

“Ugh…”

Seeing Jeok Kyung-hoon’s sly smile, Jeok Kyung-hwa took a step back.

“What else? “What are you planning…”

“Your mission.”

Jeok Gyeong-hoon flicked the documents with his fingers.

The documents flew in front of Jeok Yeon-hwa as if they were attached by a thread.

“Crack protection?”

Jeok Yeon-hwa read the document and hurriedly raised her head.

“You wanted to try it.”

“huh.”

Protecting the area where the cracks occur was something I really wanted to do as a talented person, so Jeok Yeon-hwa nodded.

Since I am currently in the late 4th grade and looking towards 5th grade, I thought I could complete this mission without difficulty.

“brother. thank you.”

“Baek Woo-jin is also coming there.”

“Huh?”

Jeok Yeon-hwa crumpled the paper without realizing it.

“Your ugly brother gave you a mission to do together instead of a date, so have a good time.”

“ah! “I don’t need it!”

“ha ha ha!”

Jeok Gyeong-hoon burst into laughter and left the training hall.

“Ugh…”

Jeok Yeon-hwa raised her shoulders and glared at Jeok Gyeong-hoon’s back, then looked at the documents again.

Recently, through repeated training and missions, I was accumulating martial arts and practical combat experience at the same time, but no matter how much I trained and conquered dungeons, the wall called Baek Woo-jin was too high.

“How much stronger have you become?”

* * *

Baek Woo-jin and Moon Ju-young headed to Myeongdong 2-ga, where the rift will open.

Because people had already evacuated, only the association’s employees and talented people could be seen on the streets.

Of course, there were quite a few people watching from afar.

-There are a lot of onlookers.

‘I see.’

-If you don’t do it right today, they will all die.

‘No. ‘There’s no need to burden me.’

Baek Woo-jin lightly relaxed his hands.

“This way.”

Moon Ju-young and Baek Woo-jin entered the cafe designated by the association.

The inside was completely cleaned out, and talented people were sitting in front of a large screen.

‘There are some familiar faces.’

Jeok Yeon-hwa was glancing at him from the front, and Yeom-sa, sitting in the back, was glaring with his feet on the chair.

‘Is it because of me again?’

Since they didn’t die in their previous life, it was obvious why those two came here.

-I guess they both came to see you? I hope it’s popular.

‘gibberish.’

Baek Woo-jin pushed away the giggling darkness and sat down on the chair next to Jeok Yeon-hwa.

“long time no see.”

Jeok Yeon-hwa, who was sitting next to him, slightly lowered his head.

“It looks like you are working hard at training. “My skills have improved again.”

“yes?”

“Level 5 is just around the corner.”

“Ah…”

Jeok Yeon-hwa was embarrassed and grabbed the handle of the chair tightly.

Baek Woo-jin figured out his level of force just by looking at him for a moment.

It meant that there was a significant difference in skill compared to his current self.

“That…”

“Let the briefing begin.”

While Jeok Yeon-hwa was thinking about what to say, a middle-aged man dressed in a suit came in.

My stomach was bulging and my nasolabial folds were severe, so it wasn’t a good look.

“I am called Kim Un-seong of crack management.”

Kim Un-seong said hello and briefly made eye contact with Yeomsa, who was behind him.

“The crack that will occur at midnight today will last approximately one hour, but in order to prepare for any unexpected situation, we will wait here until sunrise tomorrow. First…”

Kim Un-seong briefly explained the contents of the mission statement and began dividing the personnel.

“The level of ability is from the late 4th grade to the 6th grade. Depending on the grade, level 6 and 5 monsters should be dealt with, and level 4 monsters should be prevented from escaping.”

Kim Un-seong assigned positions to talented people.

Baek Woo-jin’s location was on the western outskirts, away from the center of the rift.

-Those who are weaker than you are also in the center, so why are you in the outskirts?

‘It’s obvious. That guy named Kim Un-seong. The string must be in contact with the main gate.’

You could tell just by looking at the fact that he gave central positions to the warriors of Yeomsa and Daeyeonmun and sent himself to the outskirts.

It was clear that Kim Un-seong was connected to Daeyeonmun.

“If you have any questions or suggestions, please raise your hand.”

Baek Woo-jin raised his hand as if he had been waiting.

“yes. Prosecutor Baek Woo-jin.”

“About positioning…”

“Oh, I thought you’d say that.”

Even though Baek Woo-jin had not finished speaking, Kim Un-seong interrupted.

“I know Prosecutor Baek Woo-jin’s skills. Trusting his skills and trying to entrust him with the outskirts….”

“That’s not true.”

Baek Woo-jin cut off the conversation just like Kim Woon-seong did to him.

“yes?”

“The distribution of talented people is too narrow and biased toward the west. “There may be unexpected situations, so I think we need to spread our stance a little wider and send the bystanders further away.”

The moment the Minotaur appears, its peer is activated and the talented people become scarecrows.

At that moment, the siege will be breached and True Horn will escape and start rampaging.

Damage can be reduced only by widening the siege net.

“Well, I don’t think so.”

Kim Un-seong took one look at the screen and laughed.

“The monster coming out today is grade 4. Among the talented people here, the weakest one is in the late 4th grade. “I think we can prevent it just like this.”

“Even so, there is no need to intentionally use a method that has holes.”

Baek Woo-jin frowned in frustration.

I couldn’t tell the truth, so there were a lot of restrictions, and the person in charge was a guy who was influenced by Daeyeonmun, so I was annoyed in many ways.

“I guess that’s not it.”

Yeomsa’s voice came from behind.

“You don’t have any room to play, so you’re just lagging around. “I got the false name of a narrow sword, I caught demons with luck, and now I can’t see anything!”

Yeomsa grinned and pointed at Baek Woo-jin.

“I also agree with Prosecutor Baek Woo-jin.”

Jeok Yeon-hwa raised her hand.

“There are definitely a lot of personnel deployed to the west. If a monster escapes to the east or south, there is a high possibility that you will suffer damage. First, push out more onlookers and deploy personnel…”

“Those two?”

Kim Un-seong waved his finger.

“Is this your first time preventing a rift from occurring?”

“So?”

“I spent 10 years in crack management. It’s about being an expert. “We will proceed like this.”

Kim Un-seong had no intention of resigning, probably because he had received a very good offer from Daeyeonmun.

“So, if something goes wrong, you’ll be responsible, right?”

A cool voice flowed from Baek Woo-jin’s mouth.

“yes?”

“Aren’t you saying that you will take responsibility if anything goes wrong with this incident?”

“That…”

“Of course. We are at the center, so if a problem arises, Daeyeonmun will take responsibility. But that won’t happen!”

Yeomsa suddenly stood up and came in front of Baek Woo-jin.

‘Now it’s your turn to watch.’

Master Yeom bribed Kim Un-seong, with whom he had a close relationship, with money and in the name of Daeyeon-moon, and then ordered Baek Woo-jin to become a scarecrow.

He had not forgotten that he had been humiliated by Baek Woo-jin on Jeju Island and was exploding his inferiority complex.

“Remember that.”

Baek Woo-jin smiled coldly and came out.

“young master!”

“Summon the medical sword team.”

“yes?”

Moon Joo-young widened his eyes in embarrassment.

“Tell the medical examiner to push the bystanders away and block their path. It won’t be a bad thing as it will be a chance to see it in action.”

“All right.”

Moon Ju-young saw Baek Woo-jin’s serious expression and immediately nodded.

-This is a good method because the True Horns will escape the moment the Minotaur appears. The current medical school would be able to protect people through cooperation.

True Horn’s movement speed is very fast, so if you miss it once, it is difficult to catch up.

It didn’t matter whether the talented people inside searched or not, but they couldn’t harm the citizens who were evacuating.

-Now the rest is up to you.

* * *

Before the crack opened, Yeomsa glared at Baek Woo-jin, who was cross-legged in the corner.

Since the Jeju Island incident, he had been having nightmares about being humiliated by Baek Woo-jin every day.

‘But today will be different.’

He planned to deal with most of the monsters that appeared in this place on his own.

In particular, I had no intention of handing over even a single animal to Baek Woo-jin.

That’s why Baek Woo-jin was placed in the outskirts of the west, where there were many people.

Pudddeuk!

The once clear night sky began to fade.

“The crack opens!”

“Everyone ready!”

The incontinence spread out in all directions like tree roots, creating huge cracks.

Kyaang!

As if a glass window had broken, a hole appeared in the sky and monsters began to rush out.

Quaaaang!

Dozens of True Horns, one and a half times larger than a water buffalo, covered in thick skin and with one straight horn, fell like rain.

“It’s True Horn!”

As I watched True Horn falling, I took out the soft sword I had around my waist.

With this number of True Horns, he could easily deal with the subordinates that came with him.

‘My name will be prominently featured in tomorrow’s article. On the other hand, that guy will be written off as a bystander.’

Reporters like things that are provocative, so even if you give them a little money, they will turn Baek Woo-jin into a bystander who has done nothing.

“Everyone stay out of position! From now on…huh?”

When the flame was about to attack True Horn, something strange happened.

Coo coo coo coo coo.

As if True Horn had eaten something wrong, it was only trying to escape to the outside without targeting those with abilities.

As if trying to run away from something.

“What the hell!”

“Why are you doing that?”

“Stop it at once!”

“Never let it fall out!”

It was a time when the talented people were dumbfounded and were trying to stop True Horn.

“uh…?”

Yansa raised his head without realizing it.

It was not of his own will.

A huge presence was attracting attention.

“Ugh….”

“Ugh….”

“Ugh!”

Everyone’s eyes turned to the shattered void, under a terrifying pressure they had never felt before.

An intense red light shone in the silent darkness.

These were the eyes of the monster Minotaur, which contained only murder and violent destruction.

Kwaaaaaaaa!

As soon as the Minotaur hit the ground, asphalt-covered roads flipped over and buildings collapsed.

Whoops.

The dust cleared and the Minotaur was revealed.

It was nearly 4 meters tall, had two horns the size of a human torso rising into the sky, and its entire body was surrounded by muscles like iron armor.

The magnificent bladed ax held in the Minotaur’s hand was filled with flesh and blood.

[Koooooooo!]

The powerful people covered their ears and trembled at the roar that the Minotaur let out as it looked up at the sky.

“Ahh!”

“Huh!”

The complexions of the talented people turned pale and their whole bodies trembled as if they were frightened.

The fear contained in the roar had mercilessly broken the fighting spirit and will.

“Keueuuuuu.”

Even the level 6 Flame Master was unable to react properly to the first time he was attacked and was frightened and clenching his teeth.

[Kaaaa!]

The Minotaur laughed at the weak humans and let out a huge roar once again.

“Ugh….”

“Okay, that’s the end.”

“How could such a monster be here…”

Despair entered the eyes of those with abilities at the overwhelming energy wave.

Everyone bowed down in fear.

Except for one person.

“The cow is squealing dirty.”

Baek Woo-jin’s eyes, standing alone, were shining with a shimmering blue color.
