I Became a Renowned Family’s Sword Prodigy

Episode 326 Preston Castle (3)

Sein narrowed his eyes.

‘When did they move?’

I didn’t take my eyes off the duel between Canzel and Dapple, but I couldn’t figure out how the man named Howie was moving.

‘Magic? No, it’s a spirit….’

Spirits have special abilities, so it’s not impossible for them to move before you sense them.

In particular, the man had a strong ice spirit scent, so it seemed like his vision was distorted with that ability.

“Did you say you would also participate in the Baekbingjeon?”

“That’s right.”

The man nodded resolutely even though he had seen Deple destroyed right in front of his eyes.

“Are you really planning on wasting time like this? Next time, that guy…”

“No. That’s the end for me. “There will be no greater challenge than that.”

The man didn’t have the slightest hesitation, as if he didn’t think he would lose.

‘What is that confidence?’

Sein pursed his lips tightly. The warriors of Preston Castle, including myself, use water-based auras.

I can’t help but notice that there is strong resistance to the water attribute, but I don’t know why that man is so confident.

‘I feel uneasy about something…’

I felt an unknown anxiety creeping into the man’s decisiveness.

‘But I can’t help it.’

Sein nodded. Since he made Dapp like that, it was only right for him to accept this challenge.

“Canzel.”

“yes!”

At Serin’s call, Canzel came forward again.

“I’m Seolyeongdae’s Kanzel.”

“I am Beijin, the guard of Dapple Castle.”

-Basine? What bullshit!

‘It’s a name I prepared in advance. If you say Baek Woo-jin casually, it becomes Bei-jin.’

Baek Woo-jin chuckled. Now is not the time to reveal your identity. That’s why I wasn’t even wearing the black armor right now.

“start!”

Kanzel, who received a signal from the host, moved first. This was to gain momentum before the opponent summoned the spirit.

Sigh!

Kanzel stepped in front of Baek Woo-jin and raised his sword to strike. The strong yet fast sword strike was so cold that it made my bones ache.

“Wouldn’t it be better to do the same?”

Baek Woo-jin lowered his sword while maintaining a smile.

‘That’s…’

Kanzel smiled after seeing the light sword strike as if chasing away a mosquito.

‘It’s the same.’

It was similar to the sword that Dapple had shown. I added strength to the hand holding the sword, thinking that I could easily win because I had already seen swordsmanship.

Whoops!

But the moment the sword met the sword. His swordsmanship changed drastically.

‘What is this!’

heavy. It’s so heavy that I can’t breathe.

It was the same trajectory as the slam that Dapple had shown, but the power contained within it was incomparable. It was my first time feeling that a sword could carry such weight.

‘This man is not a spiritist!’

test. He was also a prosecutor of a different caliber than himself.

“profit!”

Canzel pulled up all the auras that controlled his heart and put them into his sword, but he was unable to push the man’s sword away.

Damn it!

Kanzel’s great sword began to crack.

Kyaaaaa!

The gray greatsword broke into small pieces and fell like snow.

“Oh my… huh?”

Kanzel was scared and stepped back when he felt something touch his back.

“what!”

The wall was far away, so I turned around in confusion to see Beijin, who had been in front of me just a moment ago, smiling and raising his sword.

“Now sleep… gasp!”

Kanzel felt an intense burning pain in the back of his head, and his whole body trembled as he hit his head on the training ground.

He fainted from a blow to the back of the head.

Slurp.

Baek Woo-jin put the Seolyeong sword in its sheath and shook off his hands.

“I took care of it because it has the same name as my sword.”

He should have hit him with five more blows, but he said he was the head of an organization called Seolyoungdae and he adjusted his strength to Deple, so he tolerated it moderately.

“….”

Silence suddenly fell in the training hall.

The faces of the warriors standing in a row turned pale, and the expressions of the people who were like ice were also distorted.

‘What…’

Sein clenched his fists until they bled.

‘What the hell…’

Just now, a man named Beijin defeated Canzel with swordsmanship, not elemental arts.

I couldn’t believe that there was such an auror and swordsmanship that I didn’t recognize.

‘On top of me? ‘It can’t be!’

There are martial arts in the world that lie about their level. I’m sure you’re learning something like that.

“Galman!”

At Sein’s call, the large man standing in the center came forward.

‘again. I’ll have to watch it again.’

I called in a second drone to find out if the man was really hiding his skills and what level he was at.

“I’m Galman from Cheonghae University.”

“It’s Beijin.”

Gallman is a prosecutor who has gone far beyond Kanzel’s level. He would be able to bring out that man’s true skills.

“Begin.”

The sparring began under Sein’s instructions.

“uh?”

However, her expectant eyes returned to confusion within 10 seconds.

Quaaaang!

The man named Beijin once again overpowered Gallman with a single sword and struck him on the back of the head, knocking him out.

‘What is it…’

I knew he had strong energy, but I couldn’t figure out how much it was.

Wow.

When Sein’s expression fell, Baek Woojin raised his hand.

“next.”

**

Darian, the captain of Sein’s guard and vying for second or third place in Preston Castle’s military hierarchy, is pinned to the floor after being hit in the back of the head.

The warriors at Preston Castle were silent as if they were at a funeral home, and Mu Young-gaek and Moon Ju-young cheered.

thud.

When Darian’s body fell to the side after hitting his head, Sein bit his lip until it bled.

‘Darian like that…’

The only ones who can defeat Darian at Preston Castle are the Blue Lord and himself.

It felt like I was having a nightmare, defeating such a warrior in just 50 hits.

‘We fought while taking care of that too.’

It’s 50 won to make him faint, but if he had decided to kill Darian, it would have ended long ago.

‘That man is above me.’

It became clear.

That young, handsome man had the power to kill everyone here.

‘But why are you hitting me in the back?’

This is what I didn’t understand the most. Beijin ended all sparring with a blow to the head. I don’t think even those who are into the back of their head are that bad.

“next.”

The dancers’ eyes shook violently at the words Baek Woo-jin was next.

Since the Great Blue Lord was no longer there, all that remained was Sein, the castle owner.

“Wow, that’s what you were aiming for from the beginning. “It wasn’t just hiding his power, it was all a trick.”

Sein sighed and walked towards Baek Woojin.

“I didn’t know Linden Castle had been taken over by the Empire.”

“Why do you think that?”

“Even though we are stuck here, we are gathering some information. I’ve never heard of a swordsman like you in the Seiran Alliance or Linden Castle. “All that’s left is the empire.”

“It’s a reasonable guess, but no.”

“There’s no need to lie now. “It doesn’t make sense for a swordsman like you to guard the Lord of Linden Castle.”

Sein smiled coldly. Having a warrior who exceeds absolute standards guard the lord of Linden Castle is like using a knife to kill a cow to kill a chicken.

“Oh, that’s a lie.”

“As expected…”

“But it has nothing to do with the empire. “I must be the person the empire hates the most.”

“What is that…”

“My name is quite famous, but you don’t know.”

“This is my first time hearing the name Beijin….”

“Oh, you heard wrong. “My name is Baek Woo-jin, not Bei-jin.”

The man who called himself Baek Woo-jin smiled and took out a black coat and put it on.

“Black coat, black hair… Bae Baek Woo-jin! “A black swordsman!”

Sein looked Baek Woojin up and down and screamed.

“Huh?”

“Ugh!”

“Baek Woo-jin? “That black swordsman?”

“That’s right! Black hair and black coat!”

The warriors of Preston Castle opened their mouths as if they were mesmerized.

“You’re definitely called Beijin!”

“Oh, my pronunciation is not good. “If you say my name quickly, it becomes Beijin.”

-Ugh, such a bully….

“Ugh!”

Sein glared at Baek Woojin with red eyes. After hearing the truth, I was more upset than I was when I was attacked by the Empire.

“Did you intend to come out this way from the beginning? What on earth are you aiming for…”

“Before that.”

Baek Woo-jin slowly raised his head. The young, inky light in his eyes pierced through the world.

“I guess you owe me an apology.”

“Ah…”

Sein swallowed dry saliva and took a step back. The atmosphere just now was different from when we were sparring. Baek Woo-jin was at a level so high that he could not surpass it.

“That…”

I glanced behind me. More than a hundred warriors were watching him.

‘You even knew Baek Bing-jeon’s true intentions? If you just gloss over it… Ah!’

As I looked around to find a way, I made eye contact with Dapple. Straight eyes. Even though he was treated like that, he showed no resentment toward himself.

‘I ruined everything….’

No matter how bad the circumstances were, he must have gone out of his mind to treat a customer who had been visiting for a long time like that.

Baekbingjeon is an event and festival where martial artists compete with each other. The person who ruined it was no one else but himself.

A proper apology should be made not only to Baek Woo-jin and Dapple, but also to everyone at Preston Castle.

“Phew…”

Sein sighed and lowered his head.

“Sain Spafel, Lord of Preston Castle, apologizes to the Swordsman of Black, Lord of Linden Castle, and everyone in the castle.”

Unlike the first time, her eyes did not waver when she apologized.

“Baekbingjeon is a festival where guests visiting Preston Castle and the local warriors compete with each other’s radishes. The strong used it as a means to pressure the weak. I’m really sorry.”

The warriors of Preston Castle also felt relieved when they saw the castle lord bowing his head and apologizing, as they were not satisfied with today’s battle.

“Hmm…”

Baek Woo-jin nodded with satisfaction after hearing Se-in’s apology.

‘It’s an apple I like.’

-what?

‘You clearly state who you are and what you did wrong. That’s a true apple.’

I tried to use force to force Sein when he was vague or apologized sloppily, but it didn’t seem necessary.

“If I had held a proper Baekbingjeon, I would have revealed my identity and asked for help.”

“I have nothing to say except that I am sorry.”

Sein bit his lip as if he was at a loss for words, and the warriors lowered their heads.

“Then you can tell me, right? The reason for not forming an alliance is….”

“No.”

Sein shook his head calmly.

“There are certainly reasons and circumstances, but the Baekbing war is not over yet.”

“yes?”

“The final part of Baekbingjeon is a sparring between the lord of the castle and his guests. “Let’s take a stance.”

Sein pulled out the sword hanging from his waist. Snow as clear as ice. It seemed like the person itself had changed since before.

-Now I feel like a descendant of Preston. That’s right. The end of Baekbingjeon is Seongju.

“If I want to hear the circumstances and reasons, I have to take you down.”

Baek Woo-jin grinned and pulled out his Seolyoung sword.

“I’ll bet everything on this one move.”

Sein bit his lower lip as he felt Baek Woojin’s endlessly soaring momentum.

“I will accept it.”

“then!”

Serin pulled up all of Aion’s aura and poured it into the sword.

Wooooow.

The energy was so strong that the body of the sword vibrated as if it would break, and a powerful sword scream was released.

Quaaaaa!

Serin drew a straight line like the horizon on the sea with the sword containing the enormous aura.

‘North Sea Hyeonhwan.’

Preston’s strongest martial art, which brings the North Sea to life, bloomed in swordplay, and a silver sea settled in the training hall.

Kuaaaa!

The silver sea roared and a huge tsunami rose beyond the north wall and hit Baek Woo-jin.

‘Good.’

Baek Woo-jin’s eyes lit up as he saw the terrifying sword attacks coming at him.

It is a top-level sword technique that is hard to believe even when you see it in front of your eyes. After all, there were many strong people in this world.

‘It’s amazing that you can make a sword attack like that with Kang Kwae Wa. But….’

Mozzala.

The silver sea created by sword strikes has tremendous energy, but is lacking somewhere. It didn’t seem like it was finished.

Cheeeeee!

Baek Woo-jin lifted Seolyeonggeom to the top.

The moment when the smell of the sea came from the silver tsunami that arrived right in front of us. I struck down my sword.

‘yam.’

The black sword strike that split the demon came down like lightning.

Kwaaaaaaaa!

The black blade collided with the silver tsunami, and a huge shock wave swept through the entire training ground.

The drones flew backwards and the ground split apart like a spider’s web and collapsed.

Squeaky!

Little by little, a change occurred in the two swords that were competing equally.

Baek Woo-jin’s yam vibrated violently and began to cut down the Beihai Hyeonhwan.

Ugh!

The sea, which is merely strong, is split by a blade filled with softness.

Quaaaaa!

The world is visible through the silver sea that is divided like the Red Sea. Blue appeared in her eyes as if she hadn’t thought that the silver tsunami would split like this.

“We lost…”

‘Not yet.’

Before the words “lost” came out of Sein’s mouth, he moved behind her.

“uh? Now…”

“See you later.”

Baek Woo-jin laughed and hit Sein on the back of the head with the blade of Seolyeonggeom.

Wow!

With a cool sound like a ball exploding, Sein hit his head on the cracked ground.

“After all, it feels like the sparring is over when you get stabbed in the back.”

-He’s a real psycho….

**

“Ugh….”

Sein frowned and opened his eyes. The back of my head still hurts.

‘How on earth…’

I didn’t neglect to prepare for the back just in case, but Baek Woo-jin had already arrived before I could come to my senses.

‘Why did you faint after being hit?’

Even if you haven’t been hit recently, your tenacity is not so weak that you would faint after being hit once. Everything about him was full of questions.

“Are you awake?”

“Ouch!”

Sein was startled by the voice he suddenly heard and woke up.

“Why why here!”

Baek Woo-jin was sitting on a chair next to the bed, and behind him, his bodyguard, Darian, was at a loss with a white bandage wrapped around his head.

“Because I didn’t hear the answer.”

“Whoa…”

Sein sighed.

‘What a disgrace this is….’

You wouldn’t know if the Baekbing match had been held properly from the beginning. I felt stuffy as I ended up like this after messing around on my own.

Still, I have a feeling of what I should say first now.

“sorry. It was all under my direction that Baekbingjeon was conducted that way. “Other people are innocent….”

“You don’t need to apologize twice.”

Baek Woo-jin smiled and waved his hand. I felt like I had been defeated in my heart by that cool look.

“Let’s move on.”

“What’s next?”

“Baekbingjeon was my victory, right?”

“Sure. “I lost completely.”

“Then let me know.”

Baek Woo-jin smiled and continued speaking.

“About two reasons for not forming an alliance with Linden Castle.”

Sein let out a light sigh and stood up.

“Follow me. I’ll tell you everything.”
