Chapter 98 Fire Dragon and Ice Bird

“Please speak.”

Baek Woojin had received Lee Young-hyun’s help and had given him instructions, so he decided to do it if it wasn’t difficult.

[Did you know that the association runs an academy for low-ranking people?]

“Of course I do.”

Baek Woojin nodded.

Of course, he knew that the association was running educational institutions for free for low-ranking people.

[Once every two months at the academy, there is an event where senior talents are invited to listen to their advice and experiences.]

Baek Woojin’s face, listening to Lee Young-hyun’s words, was dyed with an unexpected light. He now knew what he was trying to say.

[Voting selects talented people to invite, and it is said that this time, the prosecutor overwhelmingly took first place. If you have time, could you please join the event?]

“Well… .”

Baek Woojin didn’t answer right away.

– This is an unexpected request.

‘Yeah. I thought you were going to ask me to help you deal with the criminals.’

Since it was Lee Young-hyun’s request, he clearly thought he was related to the criminal.

I did not expect such a peaceful request to come.

-Actually, you’re not perfect for that kind of thing.

‘what?’

– You only need to say one word. “It’s just luck,” he said.

Darkness roamed around Baek Woojin and burst into laughter.

‘Ugh… .’

Baek Woojin sighed inwardly and brought his phone back to his ear.

“Why is the manager telling you that?”

[It must have been officially requested by the White House. I just thought I was close with the prosecutor. The academy professor asked me to tell you.]

“It is.”

[There is nothing received from the association. This is an event held just to help beginners with abilities.]

Because of Lee Young-hyun’s personality, he would never have said anything like a request, but he seems to have brought up the story with the desire to help low-ranking people.

[If you feel burdened, I will refuse… .]

“I will go.”

[Are you really?]

“If you have such good intentions, you should definitely go.”

-okay. Go ahead and say, “The secret to my strength is 10% hard work and 90% luck.” If you just draw a card, UNIQ will go crazy… .

‘Shut up.’

Baek Woojin pushed the darkness away and brought the phone back to his ear.

[thank you! The schedule is up to the prosecutor. When would you like it?]

“Well, I have to boil beef bones for three days. Five days later, Friday would be good.”

[all right! Your students will be delighted! Thank you very much!]

Lee Young-hyun hung up her phone with a smile.

“uh?”

I was delighted that Baek Woojin was coming, but something strange happened after I hung up the phone.

“ethmoid?”

* * *

Oh Seong-hwan was watching the night view of Seoul from the top floor of his building.

“Lord.”

The door opened and Baek Ji-heon, the secretary, entered.

“ Baek Woojin decided to come to the association’s academy.”

“After you beat the Minotaur, you go to the Academy of the Association… .”

Oh Seong-hwan smirked and drank alcohol.

“He really is a gorgeous guy.”“It’s 8 o’clock on a Friday evening. I think this is the right time to target Baek Woojin.”

“It seems so, but not at all.”

Oh Seong-hwan put down his drink and shook his head.

“Yes?”

Baek Ji-heon widened his eyes as if in bewilderment.

“Is it strange?”

“Yeah, yes. Baek Woojin is definitely strong, but if he takes a hostage at the academy, he might be able to kill him.”

“I think so too. Now is not the time to move.”

Oh Seong-hwan turned and looked at Baek Ji-heon.

His eyes were as calm as a lake.

“First, Baek Woojin’s current power is not well understood. I judged him to be a mid-level 6th grader at best, but the power he showed me this time far exceeded my expectations.”

When Oh Seong-hwan raised his hand, the TV that filled the entire wall turned on.

On TV, Baek Woojin and the minotaur were fighting a scene playing.

“He fought a power battle head-on with the minotaur. In particular, the Linked Swordsmanship I used last time was a 7th grade level. Since he hasn’t used it in the first place, it seems like he has some limitations, but he’s definitely strong in terms of power. Besides, he didn’t even summon his spirit.”

“Well, it turns out, the spirit didn’t even call… .”

Baek Ji-heon was distracted by Baek Woojin’s destructive power and only now realized he hadn’t even summoned a spirit.

“Actually, the second reason is more important. The whole world is being deceived by him, as are you.”

Oh Seong-hwan let out a cold laugh.

“Yes?”

“ Baek Woojin is trembling. He’s not just as good as you and other humans think. The guy… .”

Oh Seong-hwan stopped his speech and looked at his door.

There was the sound of something breaking through the door.

Quang!

The door burst open and a man came in.

“dare! Where is this!”

“done.”

As Baek Ji-heon was about to attack the intruder, Oh Seong-hwan raised his hand.

“long time no see.”

A thick voice that looked like sputum was flowing from the man.

“Since you came to visit me, I came here as a reward, but it’s a shabby place to be a residence of the Jukundae Province.”

“Shin Chang-hoon.”

The intruder who broke the door and appeared was Shin Chang-hoon.

His arms, which had been torn off by Baek Woojin, were in good health as if nothing had happened.

However, the color of his right arm and hand was translucent as if he had grinded ice, and his left hand was painted yellow as if he had applied dirt.

“Your arm… .”

Oh Seong-hwan frowned.

He could feel Shin Chang-hoon’s arm as soon as he saw it.

That’s not a prosthetic.

It was obvious that the arm was made out of a contract with something unknown.

“this? Much better than the original arm. It doesn’t hurt, and it’s strong. However… .”

Shin Chang-hoon had a ghostly smile on his lips.

It was a bloody smile that made Baek Ji-heon, who was watching, step back.

“The pain remains. It is a very, very, very, very painful pain.”

Shin Chang-hoon let out a creepy laugh as if scratching his teeth.

“I heard a terrifying story. Baek Woojin is coming to the association’s academy?”

Shin Chang-hoon turned his head to Baek Ji-heon.

Naturalization was blooming in his eyes.

“Tell me. What does that mean?”

“uh… .”

“Let me tell you.”

“Yeah, that’s Baek Woojin on Friday… .”

At the instruction of Oh Seong-hwan, Baek Ji-heon delivered the story about Baek Woojin to Shin Chang-hoon.

“That’s right. It’s perfect!”

Shin Chang-hoon clenched his fist.

Small chunks of ice fell from his right hand.

“I will do this job. If you have any complaints… .”

“none. The one who had no arms came out with arms, so I can concede that much.”

Oh Seong-hwan smiled and lifted the glass of wine.

“Let’s do it your way.”

“I don’t know what you’re thinking, but this time Baek Woojin dies.”

Shin Chang-hoon watched Sung-hwan Oh, who was drinking leisurely, and his mouth was raining.



“Okay, so do whatever you want.”

“… .”

Shin Chang-hoon and Oh Seong-hwan did not speak any more and were staring at each other.

“A coward.”

Shin Chang-hoon turned his head first and left the room.


“Great, my lord. are you okay? If Shin Chang-hoon kills Baek Woojin, he will be inside the guild… .”

“Okay. Even if Shin Chang-hoon kills Baek Woojin, he cannot live.”

“Yes?”

“He used gold magic.”

Oh Sung-hwan drank his last drink and broke his glass.

His eyepatch flashed golden.

“I’m giving my life away.”

* * *

Boog.

Baek Woojin was staring blankly at the boiling pot in his room.

The ingredients that Jinah asked for arrived on the same day, and they have already been making red bone soup for the third day.

– It’s almost over, so concentrate.

“But is it okay to cook like this? Are the bones completely melted?”

The bones of the ethmoid bone do not disappear no matter how many times it is boiled, but the red bone started to dissolve in the soup from the second day, and now the bones and medicinal materials have melted and become like a red soup.

– It’s going well. Is this the bone you were talking about? It’s totally different from that. It is soup, but this is an elixir.

“Of course it will be different, but the visuals are too exaggerated. It’s like lava!”

– It originally looked like this. Various medicines and medicines are melting to make a proper red bone soup, so don’t worry.

“Hmm… .”

Baek Woojin scratched his chin and looked inside the pot.

At first, it felt like I was cooking, so it was new, but now I felt like I was watching the bones melting in the lava.

whoops.

The tip of the last remaining red bone melted, leaving only a completely red broth.

– That’s it. Now turn off the heat and put it in a bowl.

Baek Woojin turned off the fire and served the soup from the pot in a large bowl.

After a while, the broth had hardened like jelly.

“Is this really true? Did it harden quickly?”

– I have a lot of doubts. This is the fifth time I’ve made the red bone soup. There are no mistakes.

Heukam swallowed the words, “This is the first time I made it with Chilji Hwaryun, so it may be a little different.”

“It’s like looking at red acorn jelly.”

Baek Woojin lifted the bowl.

He boasted of his stamina, shaking his opponent’s bones.

“How much does your physical ability increase if you eat this?”

-I do not know either. It depends on your body, and it depends on how much effort you put into boiling it.”Qualitative?”

– You’ve put your heart into it, so you don’t have to worry about it. In addition, there are two things that can be called elixir, so there will be good changes in body, stamina, and mana.

“Hmm… .”

Baek Woojin looked down at the red bone soup that lightly lit his face.

– Now that it’s all hardened, eat it. You will be able to swallow it. and… .

“and?”

-no. You’ll know when you eat it.

“It’s bland.”

Baek Woojin scooped out the red bone soup and put it in one bite.

“uh… ?”

Baek Woojin’s eyes widened.

“Hey, this is… .”

The jelly-like red bone soup melted in an instant and lingered in the mouth softly.

The deep taste of the sweet yet thick soup wrapped around his tongue like a snake.

“Hyak, your tongue is melting!”

Baek Woojin unwittingly picked up the bowl and swallowed the red bone soup.

-That’s the taste of two people eating and one dying.

“So!”

Baek Woojin looked at the empty bowl because he felt regretful even after he emptied the red bone soup.

– Jeokgoltang is famous as a delicacy in our continent. It is difficult for even a king to eat once in his life.

“I can’t really describe this taste in words. directly… . uh?”

Baek Woojin’s face, who felt the joy of taste, hardened.

He couldn’t open his mouth because of the heat rising from his body.

– You won’t have time to talk. Just use the auror technique.

Baek Woojin immediately sat cross-legged on his seat and started practicing.

The heavy energy emanating from the red bone soup spread to all parts of the body, not just the danjeon.

pudding!

I could hear the bones moving from Baek Woojin’s body and his muscles twisting, but his expression didn’t change.

He had a refreshing smile as if he was rather cool.

-Well?

As the sound of bones moving continued, his clothes began to get wet.

-Does the body change also remove waste products?

The sound of the bones twisting is the sound of Baek Woojin’s body changing, and the black dye on his clothes means that the wastes in his body are removed.

With those two phenomena happening at the same time, Baek Woojin’s body movement, durability, and Auror operation will be transformed into a much better one than before.

– Red bone soup with Chilji Halyeon in the body minced with effort. And is it thanks to the protection of the system? I really can’t keep up with that guy’s luck.

Darkness did not fall from Baek Woojin’s side as if escorting him while making an impression. He stood by his side without moving.

As the sun went down and the sun appeared in the sky again, the sound from Baek Woojin’s body stopped and the sweat stopped.

ding!

As Baek Woojin opened his closed eyes, a cheerful alarm sounded in his ears.

[Physical ability has increased.][The mana stat has increased.][Your stamina has increased.][Aura resistance has increased.][The 4th elemental resistance has increased.][Body wastes are removed so that you can exert greater power.]

ding!

Before Baek Woojin and Heukam could even read the information window, a second notification was heard.

[I made and absorbed the red bone soup for the first time.][The level of red bone soup is very high.][New body characteristics are given.]
