Chapter 24 The trap needs to be broken

‘I’m already writing numbers.’

Baek Woojin frowned and glared at the pattern of the new sword stamped on the underside of the document.

– What’s the shape of this sword?

‘It’s a mark of the duties that the direct line of the Shinswordsman can receive. They call it the mission of the divine sword.’

-So that means you’ve been recognized, isn’t it good? Why are you making an impression?

‘I should have been happy in the first place, but the situation is too complicated.’


How long has it been since Baekho-jung was defeated? It was certain that someone other than his father intervened.

‘The mission of the divine sword is not to take an escort. You have to figure out the task assigned to you. It’s the best chance to target your direct line.’

– Then what if a direct line member dies or gets seriously injured?

‘If you die, you die. If you can’t even solve this, you won’t even have a funeral.’

– Really, your family…

‘I told you my house sucked. That’s why I said I was going to overturn it.’

Baek Woojin clenched his fists and stared at the papers.

– Didn’t your father send you?

‘My father told me to take care of myself. Because of his personality, I won’t touch him for a while.’

– Then it must be one of your brothers.

‘Perhaps the fourth or fifth. I don’t know what kind of line was connected to give the mission of the divine sword.’

Baek Woojin bluntly made predictions about the current situation as if he knew it beforehand.

‘This guy is really… ’

Darkness sent admiration to Baek Woojin, who infers the current situation just by looking at the documents.

– What’s your mission?

‘They told me to remove all the risk factors in the area where the rift change occurred and report it.’

-Area where the crack change occurred?

‘You know the rift, right?’

– It’s a phenomenon in which the sky splits and monsters pop out. They said cracks occurred when you died.

Baek Woojin nodded and pointed to the papers.

‘On rare occasions, the rift area is connected to another dimension and the environment changes. We call it the Rift Change Zone. The mission is to eliminate the monsters and dangers in the transformation area.’

– Seeing that the mission difficulty is set to 3 levels, the difficulty itself doesn’t seem to be very high.

‘No, it’s dangerous. Since you don’t know what will come out of the Rift Change Zone, it’s common to send people with abilities one level higher.’

-The document says that two prosecutors will be attached. So it’s worth it, isn’t it?

‘As I say, this family is not that kind.’

Baek Woojin laughed when he saw the names of the prosecutors on the documents.

‘Yoo Jae-woo, Kim Bum-seok. These two are now known to have no faction, but they will later become part of Baek Seon-ah’s faction.’

-then…

‘okay. The fifth sister hit me first. Now that Baekho-jung is down, he must have thought he was next.’

Baek Seon-ah saw that Baek Myung-hoon was beaten and exploded, and Baek Ho-jung’s head was broken, and she seemed to think that it was her turn next.

– What are you going to do? There is no need to go to the trap on purpose, so I think it would be better to decline the mission.

‘No, I have to go. This is a place I know. There is something very good at the end of this area.’

Everyone knows what monsters come out of the rift change zone written in the document, what dangers there are, and what objects are at the end.

-Good things?

‘okay. At the end of this area, there’s something I need. Baek Seon-ah must have planned something like this to kill me, but it looks like she’s only helping me.’

– Do you have any plans?

‘For now, smoke.’

-Acting?

Baek Woojin took down the papers that were covering his face.

“Finally, the mission of the new sword has come to me too!”Baek Woojin smiled broadly and raised his hand. He wasn’t acting, he was really happy.

– What are you doing?

‘Among those who see you right now, there must be Baek Seon-ah’s subordinate. I’ll be vigilant when I accept this mission after appearing as stupid as I can.’

-Huh, have you been thinking about that in the meantime?

Baek Woojin called Jeon Jun-hyeok, who was next to him, and boasted that he had received the duty of the swordsman.

“young master.”

Moon Ju-Young approached when Baek Woo-Jin explained the mission to Jeon Jun-Hyeok.

“I’d rather you decline that assignment.”

“Why?”

“I cannot protect you in the mission of the divine sword.”

“I know.”

At Baek Woojin’s answer, Moon Ju-young’s expression hardened like a plaster statue.

“Even for a Tier 3 mission, there may be some dangers lurking in the Rift Zone. It would be dangerous.”

“You don’t know what kind of situation your immediate family will face if they give up the mission of the new sword, right?”

“I know. Still, I think it would be better to give up.”

“Even if two level 3 prosecutors go together?”

“That’s right. To complete a Tier 3 mission, you will need 6 Tier 3 abilities. And in this situation, the mission of the divine sword comes down… .”

Baek Woojin was expressionless, but he could feel Moon Ju-young’s concern for him. But she spit out the opposite of what she felt grateful for.

“Are you ignoring me? I think Hojung-hyung won too! Level 3 missions can be handled lightly.”

“young master. However… .”

“If you’re going to say something like that, go away. Don’t rush into a mission that hasn’t even started!”

“… all right.”

After hearing Baek Woojin’s words, Moon Ju-young shook her head and headed out. If you don’t listen to me, there’s no way.

‘Did I miss this person?’

I thought Baek Woojin was a wise owner, but I didn’t know he was blinded by the ball and couldn’t understand the situation. He automatically let out a bitter sigh.

[Thanks for your concern. Trust me and wait.]

Just before Ju-Young Moon left the dance floor, a chime was heard in his ear. It was the whole song of Baek Woojin. His whole tone was full of warmth, unlike the cold words he had spoken before.

“Ugh!”

Moon Ju-young turned around quickly.

“Go to the police department and tell them that you will receive a mission.”

“all right!”

Baek Woojin was smiling and saying he would accept his assignment. When he finished speaking, several people who were watching the theater from afar disappeared.

“no way! Do you know who is watching?”

As the people watching disappeared, Baek Woojin’s mood changed abruptly. The childlike figure from a while ago had disappeared, and it was as if he was looking at a well-forged blade.

Moon Ju-young looked at Baek Woo-jin with a bewildered expression.

“Hey, that guy… .”

**

“How is it?”

“It seems that the youngest master has accepted the mission.”

Jeong Yeon-un, the captain of Baek Seon-ah’s escort, knelt down on his knees and answered.

“Didn’t the youngest doubt it?”

“I sent someone to look at it, but it is said that he liked to have been given the task of the divine sword and even danced.”

“Fufu, I knew it would. It is impossible for a direct descendant of the Baek Family to refuse the mission of the first divine sword that came down. Even if the youngest has a talent for swordsmanship, his thoughts are shallow.”

Baek Seon-ah smiled as she touched the silver bracelet on her wrist.

“What are your plans?”

“The youngest Bocchan will take the lead in catching monsters as a direct descendant of the Baek family. After more than half of the transition zone, the swordsmen who followed you will surprise you. The two prosecutors are registered as Level 3, but they will succeed unconditionally because they have recently moved to Level 4.”

“As long as you are a direct descendant of the Hundred Family, you have no choice but to take the lead in battle. Who is the prosecutor following?”

“This is Jae-Woo Yoo and Beom-Seok Kim. Neither of them is known to have anything to do with the lady, so there should be no problem.”

Jeong Yeon-un reported all of his plans to Baek Seon-ah.

“Are you ready after that?”

“of course. No one will come back alive from this mission.”

“Fufu, fine. Don’t be vigilant until the very end, and make sure to deal with it.”

In response to Jeong Yeon-woon’s answer, Baek Seon-ah revealed her white teeth and smiled.

“It might be a pity that the cutest youngest is gone.”

**

– Baek Woojin. The mission starts today, are you really going to train? aren’t you resting?

“It only takes three hours to get there, so you can rest as you go.”

– You’re really crazy about training.

As if tired of the darkness, he waved the blade left and right.

– I never imagined that the words to stop practicing would come out of my mouth. I’m going to do it for you.

Baek Woojin has been practicing without sleeping since he accepted the assignment two days ago.

– Aren’t you tired?

“Are you tired? what?”

-Aren’t you tired of repeating only balsam and horizontal slashes before, but only vertical slashes and stabs now?

“Baek Woojin was constantly repeating only the basics of repeating swordsmanship when he was young, but I have never seen him get bored or dislike training. He is honestly so tenacious enough to fly out of the sky.

“Unlike in my previous life, I am getting stronger as much as I try. But what’s boring? It’s just fun.”

He has no complaints that he becomes as strong as he trains and as much time as he puts in. It is truly the happiest moment.

– Do you enjoy water lilies? I’m really crazy

“Because vertical slashing and stabbing are growing rapidly. It’s more fun these days.”

-Swordsmanship stats have increased by 7, of course. There are also special offers.

“Still, the speed is unbelievable.”

-That’s because you practice all day. this child!

Darkness trembled. Baek Woojin’s passion for his swordsmanship was enough to make him tired of himself.

– Even though it’s the day of the mission today, you came out to practice early in the morning!

“As I said before, you can rest as you go. I’m not going to practice that badly.”

-Huh, one really mental thing…

“I’m a little more mature.”

– It’s not a compliment. men and horses!

Baek Woojin blew out the words of darkness through one ear and began to wield his sword. After making vertical cuts for 4 hours like a machine, two swordsmen appeared next to Baek Woojin.

“See you, Master!”

Prosecutors bowed 90 degrees to Baek Woojin and politely greeted him.

“Goodbye, but who are you?”

“I am Yoo Jae-woo, a Level 3 Prosecutor.”

“This is Level 3 Prosecutor Kim Beom-seok. Together with the master, we are going on the mission of the divine sword.”

“It was you. nice to meet.”

“It is an honour!”

Baek Woojin smiled and shook hands with Yoo Jae-woo and Kim Beom-seok. The two prosecutors held Baek Woojin’s hand with an ecstatic expression on their face.

– You’re right.

‘Why?’

-They said they were ranked 3rd, but they are on the 4th grade.

‘Is that so? Babies are good at acting. However… ’

– But what?

‘They probably aren’t all that Baek Seon-ah prepared.’

According to Baek Seon-ah’s personality, she must be preparing something even after this. She shouldn’t be vigilant that she caught both prosecutors.”I’m waiting for you. Get ready and come out.”

“all right.”

Baek Woojin took a shower, packed his things, and left the room.

“young master.”

Moon Joo-young was waiting outside the door.

“I believe in the master. Be careful though.”

“Don’t worry, I’m waiting for you.”

Baek Woojin patted Moon Ju-young on the shoulder and gave her a confident smile.

“all right. I’ll wait.”

When Moon Ju-young saw Baek Woojin’s smile, she had a feeling that everything would be fine. No, it wasn’t a feeling, it was a certainty.

**

Baek Woojin and the two prosecutors took three hours to arrive at the crack change zone, where the environment was completely changed.

“Are you familiar with the mission?”

“of course!”

The two prosecutors were extremely polite as if they were Baek Woojin’s direct subordinates.

“Let’s report it.”

“Remove all monsters that exist inside, and deal with plants and traps that threaten humans.”

“We have a safe area for others to stay.”

“right. Get ready.”

“Yes!”

The two prosecutors nodded at the perfect answer.

“Please open it.”

“all right.”

The association’s staff who were blocking the rift transition zone opened the blocked door. Baek Woojin and the prosecutors went inside.

“Well… .”

As I entered the rift transition zone, I felt the oxygen diminishing, making it difficult to breathe. The temperature had dropped, and there was fog all around. The environment is similar to that of a mountainous area.

-how? Is this the place you know?

‘okay. It’s a place you know.’

When I checked the interior topography, it became more certain. You know what’s out there and what’s out there.

“young master. We will take the lead.”

“okay.”



Yoo Jae-woo turned around at the lightly heard voice. It wasn’t what he expected at all.

[what! Why is he reacting like that?]

Yoo Jae-woo sent a message to Kim Beom-seok.

[You are a direct line of the family. Aren’t you supposed to take the lead?][When a monster comes out, I will come. wait.]

Kim Bum-seok answered calmly.

“Kirr.”

While the two swordsmen were making a full sound, the presence of monsters in front of them and growling sounds were heard.

“young master. Monsters have appeared!”

“catch.”

“Yes?”

Yoo Jae-woo and Kim Beom-seok looked back at the unexpected words.

‘What, what?’

‘A monster has appeared, but you’re not going?’

The situation they expected was for Baek Woojin to take the lead and fight. But Baek Woojin only shook his head with his arms crossed.

“Catch it.”

Baek Woojin was staring coldly at the two swordsmen with deep sunken eyes as if he knew everything.
