I Became a Renowned Family’s Sword Prodigy

Episode 173 Red Tiger (3)

“Krung….”

Gwiho took a step back, his diamond-shaped eyes trembling.

The shiny fur was either burned black or frozen blue, and the four tiger heads had their eyes turned into brown eyes.

“It’s worth it for all your hard work.”

Baek Woo-jin smiled proudly as he looked at the spirits’ proud appearance.

-That tiger bastard is not even worthy of his equal!

‘Our kids are too strong.’

It wasn’t that I was weak. Although he had the ability to make a world of difference, his opponent was too bad.

-Do not be ridiculous! It’s because of the fraudulent title!

‘Well, that too.’

-Not only that, but it’s so big!

Baek Woo-jin passed four tests and won four titles.

Thanks to this, all abilities increased by 60% when dealing with beast-type monsters.

Because the enormous benefits were also passed on to the spirits, they were able to shout out their ghosts with excitement.

-All abilities increase by 60%, so losing is strange! Damn it!

If it weren’t for the title’s open-story option, victory or defeat would have been decided only after the spirits and ghosts had a battle between dragons and tigers.

-Your luck works everywhere. I’m sick and tired of it now!

Heukam sighed and looked at Guiho, who was crushed in a corner and beaten to death.

I felt like I was watching a crazy person get caught by con artists and lose everything he had.

Quaaaaa!

Guiho, who had been hit directly by Ignis’ last attack, could not endure any longer and was destroyed.

Because Guiho was a monster created like other tigers, his body did not remain and was reduced to dust.

[You have hunted a ghost.]

[You will receive abilities that match your personality.] [

The four slayer titles are combined into the legendary title < The Conqueror of the Enemy Host >.]

< The Conqueror of the Enemy Host. >

Grade: Legendary.

Following the Fire Tiger, Blue Tiger, Green Tiger, and Yellow Tiger, this is a title given to the person who holds the Demon Tiger. Sensitivity and resistance to the four major attributes increase significantly, and all abilities increase by 75% when dealing with beast-type monsters.

‘75%? ‘I’m crazy!’

Baek Woo-jin widened his eyes.

When dealing with beast-type monsters, all stats did not increase by 75%.

Sensitivity and resistance to the four major attributes also increased by more than the four slayer titles combined.

The option was so deceptive that he was shocked even though it was the reward he got.

-Are my eyes wrong? 75%? Is your head the size of a dragonfly? Even the system here doesn’t know good!

Even if it was limited to beast-type monsters, the 75% increase in stats was too much.

In addition, the increased level of sensitivity to the four major attributes was also outside the normal range. It seemed like a fool who matched the system had appeared.

-Ugh, damn it!

The scariest thing is that Baek Woo-jin has not yet received the true reward of Jeokho-seong.

– Bae Baek Woo-jin. I got everything I could get, so I’m going to go now….

[You have passed the test of hostility.]

As the darkness was talking nonsense, a message window appeared in front of Baek Woo-jin.

Huh.

At the same time, a middle-aged man with bright red skin came down from the air, waving a black long gun.

He was a man with a tiger-like black stripe on his forehead and small yet fierce eyes.

“You…”

Baek Woo-jin did not feel the middle-aged man’s presence at all, so he put his hand on the arm sword as if he were wary.

“I am the manager of this Jeokho Castle.”

The manager’s expression was crumpled as if he had chewed shit.

“Why is the manager staring at me like that?”

Baek Woo-jin still did not let down his guard.

It appeared suddenly without any trace. Even if I said it was the manager’s ability, I couldn’t ignore the subtle hostility.

“I was just trying to take a closer look at the human who passed the test.”

“I don’t think so.”

“It doesn’t matter whether you believe it or not. “Get your compensation and leave.”

The manager forced his expression down, as if opening a dented tin can, and held out two round, blue beads.

“That’s compensation?”

“This is an elixir that can be of great help to you.”

“Hmm…”

Baek Woo-jin tilted his head.

I am very knowledgeable about elixirs because I have tried many elixirs, from low-level to top-level elixirs.

Even if you give that elixir a high rating, it was only at the upper-middle level.

“Get it quickly before they take it back.”

Even though the manager waved the hand holding the elixir, Baek Woo-jin did not move.

‘No matter how much I think about it, it’s strange.’

I understand if you did a lottery and got a crappy reward.

However, it made no sense that the reward for such a dangerous dungeon was a mid- to high-level elixir.

-I want you to get your stinkin’ compensation, but it smells dirty.

“That’s Gura.”

Muyoung came next to Baek Woojin and snorted.

“If you look at my thief’s eyes…”

“A thief’s eyes?”

“It’s just my eyeball. “I said it was a thief’s eye to make it look good.”

“….”

“Anyway, I’ve never heard or seen a dungeon with such a dangerous test and an administrator. But the only reward you get is two intermediate elixirs? “This is a fraud.”

Muyounggaek grinned and pointed to the elixir in the manager’s hand.

“That bastard is talking nonsense now. They gave us that elixir so that we could drink it and get rid of it, but in reality, Ji will be trying to take it. “It’s not the first time I’ve seen these guys!”

“That’s exactly what I thought.”

Baek Woo-jin nodded. Because he also had the same thoughts as Muyounggaek, he did not receive compensation from the manager.

“Stop talking bullshit! “What do humans know?”

“Look at you losing your temper! What kind of manager is that! “You’re a thief!”

“These bastards…”

As red energy rose from the manager’s eyes, a new hologram window appeared in front of Baek Woo-jin.

[Corrupted Jeokho Castle Manager]

The manager of Jeokho Castle managed the castle for a long time, forgetting his duties and managing Jeokho Castle according to his own taste. Please beat him to his senses.

Hidden condition: Hit the manager in the back 101 times.

-He wasn’t a proper guy after all.

‘Um…’

-Why is that? It’s as you think.

Baek Woo-jin, who thought he would like it, frowned as he looked at the hologram window.

‘The hologram window has changed.’

-ok?

‘The hologram window for these quests given in Jeokho Castle has rounded corners, but the one that appears now is rectangular, just like the one I received.’

-uh? It’s true!

The hologram window of Jeok Ho-seong had changed to be the same as the system window that Baek Woo-jin always sees.

‘I think it has something to do with the system of a place called Jeokho Castle.’

-Uhm….

‘Well, I’ll think about that later.’

Baek Woo-jin pulled out his sword and aimed it at the manager.

“What do you mean?”

An animal growl came from the manager’s throat.

“Meaning as it is.”

“Are you going to fight me?”

“No, I’m saying I’m going to beat you up.”

“her!”

A cold, murderous spirit that could freeze the air glimmered in the manager’s red eyes.

“If you catch a ghost, you can’t see anything? Who am I…. Yeah. “It worked out better.”

The manager put the elixir back and clenched his fist.

Pudddeuk!

The manager’s long sleeves were torn apart with the sound of bones grinding.

Coo coo coo coo.

The manager’s arms and legs grew thick like logs, and his fingernails and toenails shot out like blades.

“Krrr….”

The manager stood on all fours on the ground like an animal. Although it was half-human and half-animal, it looked closer to an animal than a human.

“Do you know why this place is a red enemy castle? “Because I was a spirit beast called Jeokho!”

The manager, no, Jeok-ho glared at Baek Woo-jin with more energy and fighting spirit than Gui-ho.

Goooooh.

A storm of murderous intensity raged from Jeokho that sent goosebumps down his spine, but Baek Woojin just smiled.

“It applies.”

-shit! That stupid beast! Just fight as a humanoid!

The reason Baek Woo-jin smiled was simple.

This is because the title option < The Conqueror of the Red Tiger Castle > was also applied to the Red Tiger.

‘But that guy is definitely strong.’

The wave of power felt from Jeokho was not something to be laughed at.

Baek Woo-jin displayed all of his combat characteristics and even activated Rasadum’s auror shadow.

“Khehehe!”

As if not giving Baek Woo-jin time, Red Tiger rushed in like a beam of light and swung his claws engulfed in red spirit.

‘Slow.’

However, to Baek Woo-jin, who used the combat characteristics and had all his abilities increased by 75%, it looked like slow motion.

Whoops!

Baek Woo-jin easily dodged the enemy’s charge like a matador dodging a bison’s charge.

Whoops!

Before Jeok-ho, who was surprised, turned around, he struck the back of the head with the sword of the Armin Sword.

“Keuhuheung!”

Jeokho avoided being thrown to the ground thanks to his strength, but his chin was shaking from the extreme pain.

“Ugh…”

Jeokho had a perplexed expression on his face, as if he was greatly shocked.

“Why are you so surprised?”

Baek Woo-jin grinned as he turned his wrist holding the Dark Sword.

“There are still 100 units left.”

* * *

‘Damn it! Shit!’

Jeokho screamed inside. The powerlessness of humans that revealed their original power was beyond imagination.

Instead of using spirits, he was overwhelming himself with his personal force alone.

“Kwaeook!”

A painful scream came out of Jeokho’s mouth as he was hit on the back of the head.

“This crazy guy!”

That crazy person was only aiming for his own back. I must have been a backstabber, so I just hit the back of the head like crazy.

As I kept getting hit on the back of my head, I didn’t know if my heart was beating because of pain or because I was scared.

“Why on earth are you hitting me in the back?!”

“They said so.”

“What bullshit! “I never thought I’d be treated like this… Wow!”

Although Jeokho wrapped his body with strong fighting spirit, he could not withstand the aura contained in Baek Woo-jin’s sword.

Once again, I was hit on the back of the head and thrown into a corner.

“What are you going to do if you don’t get hit?”

Baek Woo-jin smiled and approached Jeok-ho.

The 75% ability increase was the fraud of frauds.

There was nothing to be afraid of because everything was ahead, including strength, speed, mana, and stamina.

“Whoa!”

Red Tiger poured all of his fighting spirit into his right claw and struck down at Baek Woo-jin.

Sigh!

It was an attack with the speed and power of three bolts of lightning falling from the sky, but Baek Woo-jin pulled out his sword with a calm expression.

Quaaaaa!

A wave of black light spread out from the Amingeom and swallowed up the enemy’s last attack.

“Kuhuhuhuh!”

The red tiger was swept away by the black wave of the Black King’s bullet and was stuck in the wall.

“Ouch…”

A moan came out of Jeokho’s mouth as he fell off the wall and fell face down on the ground.

-You’re lucky. Originally, it would have ended here.

If Baek Woo-jin hadn’t lost his strength in the middle, that red tiger would have just disappeared.

“Keueuuuuu!”

Jeokho staggered and tried to get up, but fell down again.

“Kill the Lord. This back-of-the-head pervert monster….”

“Who is the pervert?” And it is my heart that kills.”

Baek Woo-jin held Jeok-ho’s hand and lifted him up as if he were helping a colleague.

“What are you doing?”

“You can’t hit the back of the head if you’re lying down.”

“What are you saying…. “Aaaah!”

Baek Woo-jin took a full swing with his sword sheath and hit Jeokho on the back of the head.

Whoa!

With the sound of a watermelon breaking, Jeokho’s head hit the floor vertically.

[You have passed all tests.]

[You have completed the hidden conditions.]

[Additional benefits have been added to the final reward of the Red Tiger.] When

the Red Tiger was knocked out with 101 hits to the back of the head, the hologram window appeared again. It was the same as the system window I always saw.

[Please hand over the key to Jeokho Castle to Jeokho.]

“Hmm…”

Baek Woo-jin pulled out Jeokho’s head and lifted it up.

“Keuuch kill me….”

“Take this.”

Baek Woo-jin took out the key to Jeokho Castle and handed it to Jeokho.

“Why are you giving this to me?”

“He said he would give it to you.”

Since it was all over anyway and the system had never let me down, I decided to listen to him.

“You said you wanted me to give you to me?”

“okay.”

“Uhm…”

Jeokho accepted the key to Jeokho Castle with confused eyes.

Wow!

As soon as Jeokho received the key to Jeokho Castle, several hologram windows appeared in front of him.

It was a text that neither Baek Woo-jin nor Heuk-am could read.

-Is the message window visible to that guy too?

Because the ‘Key to Hostility’ has the ability to show system messages to its owner.

“uh? Huh? Ugh!”

As Jeokho read the message, his soul began to slowly drain from his eyes. Not only my lips and eyes, but my entire body trembled.

“I’m sorry! I’m really sorry!”

Jeokho suddenly got down on his knees and started praying towards the message.

-Why is he like that?

‘I don’t know either.’

He knew that someone was sending him a message through the key to Jeokho Castle, but he had no idea who it was or what the message was.

thud! thud!

Jeokho started hitting his head on the ground.

“I committed a mortal sin. “We will never let something like this happen again!”

Jeokho’s expression was more serious than when he was beaten to death by Baek Woojin. I kept hitting my head with blood on my forehead.

-what? Wasn’t that guy the owner of Jeokho Castle?

‘I told you that guy is a manager. Like the lichs, there must be an original owner who created this castle.’

It seemed like Jeokho was talking to the true owner of Jeokho Castle through that key.

-The owner of the castle?

‘okay.’

Baek Woo-jin somehow seemed to know who the owner of this castle was.

Cheer ring!

After a while, the hologram window disappeared and Red Tiger ran in front of Baek Woo-jin.

“sorry! “I don’t know the Great One!”

Jeokho also kneeled on Baek Woojin and hit his head.

He continued to hit the ground with his head as if he had a hammer.

“The Great One? “What kind of nonsense is this all of a sudden?”

“My master said so.”

Jeokho lowered his head and opened his mouth.

“master?”

“The person who created this Jeokho Castle is my master.”

“So who is that?”

“He said he couldn’t talk right now.”

“Then why did you call me great?”

“I can’t tell you that either.”

“Can’t you tell me everything?”

“That’s right.”

Jeokho’s eyes were transparent, unlike when I first saw them.

It wasn’t that Jeokho couldn’t speak, it was because the owner of Jeokho Castle said he couldn’t speak, so I couldn’t inquire any further.

In fact, there was someone I could guess who it was.

“Let’s leave the test room first.”

When Red Tiger placed his hand on the ground, Red Tiger Baek Woo-jin and Mu Young-gaek were engulfed in a light purple light.

The light disappeared and a completely different place appeared.

“This is…”

It was a long hallway lined with huge stone pillars.

“This is the lowest level of Red Tiger Castle and the reward room.”

“The reward room?”

“The elixir I showed you earlier was something I made, as you said. The real reward is here. “Please follow me.”

Jeokho led Baek Woojin and walked to the center of the reward room.

After walking along the endless pillar for about 10 minutes, Jeokho’s footsteps stopped.

“That is the reward that can be obtained by those who pass the test at Red Tiger’s castle.”

Red Tiger pointed to the rainbow-colored bead in the center.

“Catch the marble and you will get what you need most, not what you want.”

“What do I need?”

There were a lot of things I wanted, but I couldn’t figure out exactly what would come when I said I needed it the most.

“And there is ‘one more thing.’”

“What do you mean by one more thing?”

“This is an order given by my master. “If you catch the marble, you will know.”

-No matter how you look at it, it’s a legendary level reward, so what else are they giving you? Have you really lost your mind?

‘You said there were additional benefits earlier. I think so.’

I thought that the additional benefit that was mentioned earlier was ‘one more thing’.

“Huh…”

Baek Woo-jin swallowed dry saliva and grabbed the rainbow-colored bead.
