I Became a Renowned Family’s Sword Prodigy

Episode 372 Demon World

Baek Woo-jin swallowed dry saliva. Where he placed his hand, there was something that looked like mud mixed with brown and purple colors.

‘It’s not ordinary mud.’

I thought I was negligent in maintaining the training ground, but that wasn’t the case. A weak magical energy was flowing out from under the mud.

‘There…’

What’s more surprising than magic is breathing.

This bizarre floor was bubbling like lava and exhaling magical energy. I couldn’t figure out what kind of situation this was.

“Matriarch! “There is disgusting mud on the floor of the gym!”

“It’s not just the land! “It’s even on the wall!”

Moon Ju-young and Moo Young-gaek also frowned as they looked at the unidentifiable purple mud.

-Uhm….

The darkness that suddenly appeared before my eyes made me sigh.

‘Darkness?’

-This is a mess?

‘what?’

-When I saw it above, I wondered if it would happen, but it turned out to be the same.

Darkness waved his sword blade and continued speaking.

-The demon world has begun to encroach on your land.

“corrosion?”

Baek Woo-jin answered in a voice without realizing it.

-Do you remember that Kabalon tried to merge Earth and the Demon World of the Marutun Continent?

‘You stopped that!’

-It seems like the demons did something. I’m not sure, but it seems like I escaped before the demon world returned to its original location, connecting this land and the demon world.

‘Rotten!’

Cursing comes out of nowhere. I thought all crises were over, but the erosion of the demonic world made me feel like a thunderbolt had fallen from the sky.

‘Is this proof that the demon world is encroaching on this place?’

He pointed to the purple floor that was bubbling and breathing.

-okay. Most of the land of the Demon World is covered with something called demon land.

‘Isn’t it weaker than expected to call it a land of the demon world?’

Unlike the serious threat of the erosion of the Demon World, no strong magical energy was felt in the Demon Territory.

-This is probably because it is separated from the core that drives erosion.

‘nucleus?’

-If you’re near the core, you’ll be seething with magical energy like you’ve never felt before.

‘Damn it!’

Baek Woo-jin hit the ground and stood up.

“Don’t touch that. “It could be dangerous.”

He waved his hand at Moon Ju-young and Mu Young-gaek who were trying to touch the magic land.

“Oh yeah!”

“This is the first time I feel nauseous just looking at it.”

Moon Ju-young immediately withdrew his hand, and Mu Young-gaek covered his nose and shook his head.

‘What can we do to stop this erosion?’

-I guess I should kill the guy who did this. At least the highest level demon. No, if it spreads far away from the core, it would be at the level of a monarch.

‘If you are a monarch…’

– The devil. Since that demon world was the 5th demon world, he must be the king who rules there.

‘Haa, after God, you are the devil?’

Baek Woo-jin sighed deeply. It’s only been a month since I defeated God, but now that I’m the Demon King, there’s no such thing as a good day.

“Where…”

I spread my energy and checked the condition of the entire Baekga.

‘what?’

There were less than a quarter of the prosecutors in the family left. Prosecutors were absent in greater numbers than in wartime situations.

“It’s clear there’s a problem.”

I clicked my tongue and shook my hands.

“First, let’s go to Gajujeon…”

As I was about to leave the training hall, the door burst open and Baek Eun-kyung came running in.

“Baek Woo-jin!”

She grabbed his arm with both confusion and joy in her eyes.

“Why are you here now!”

**

Baek Woo-jin followed Baek Eun-kyung into the Gaju battle. It’s been a long time since I’ve been in the middle of a long time, but I haven’t seen a speck of dust because I’ve been managing it consistently.

“What on earth happened?”

“Sit down first. “It’s not something that can be done easily.”

I nodded and sat down at the head of the table. Baek Eun-kyung sighed with complex emotions and pulled a chair to the left.

“To explain from the beginning, it was after I went to that world following the thread you sent me. “Just when I thought it was all over, a star I had never seen before appeared in the sky.”

“What if it’s a star?”

“It was a beautiful star that was half blue and half red, but it felt more powerful than any other entity I had ever seen.”

-It’s the demon world. Five demonic realms floating above the Earth.

‘okay.’

He himself also saw the demon world that Baek Eun-kyung spoke of on the Marutun Continent.

“The star, which was getting darker, became translucent again and began to disappear. When everyone is so relieved….”

Baek Eun-kyung chewed her lip and pounded the table.

“The transparent membrane surrounding the star broke and demons came out. “It’s not just one or two, but so many that it’s hard to count them.”

“What is your grade?”

“From the low-level that can be handled lightly to the highest-level that even high-level talents have a hard time dealing with. “It was diverse.”

“It must have been difficult to deal with.”

“It was difficult. But that’s not what’s really hard.”

Baek Eun-kyung’s eyes shake as if there was an earthquake. The source of that shaking is fear. That too is overwhelming fear.

“A week after the demons started rampaging, a person who called himself the king of the demon world appeared.”

“King of the Demon World?”

“He sent prayers to all humans around the world, informing them of his identity and existence.”

“Chloride everyone on Earth? Is that possible?

“okay. And that at the same time.”

-her!

“Crazy…”

Baek Woo-jin bit his molars gently.

‘Sending Yeomhwa all over the world….’

Yeomhwa is a telepath.

He had the supernatural power to send his words to others without opening his mouth, and I couldn’t believe that he sent them to everyone in the world at the same time.

“At that time, the place where the king of the demon world was located was over China, but I could feel his energy even here. It felt like the air was trembling and I was being crushed by the pressure of demon energy. “I’ve never seen such a scary guy.”

Baek Eun-kyung’s always confident voice trembles as if cut by a knife. I saw that his eyes were shaking, so I didn’t hear anything wrong.

She, who thought of all demons as her enemies, was crushed by the power of the king of the demon world.

“What did that guy called the king say?”

“I said let’s play a game.”

“Crab game?”

“After gathering strength for 66 days, we will begin the conquest, but before that, let’s play a game where you come and kill yourself…” -There are

not many people who would do such crazy things… Ask what his name is.

“What is his name?”

“Beelzebub. He said he was the lord of all demons.”

-It was him, after all.

When I heard the name Beelzebut, the blade of darkness trembled to the extreme.

‘Do you know this guy?’

-This is the guy who was the king of the three demon worlds in the past.

‘Three demon realms? So you got kicked out?’

-No. It was conquered. That greedy fly ate up to the 5 demon realms!

‘Then that means it’s surprisingly strong!’

Baek Woo-jin bit his lip. The size of the five demon realms he saw was slightly smaller than Earth.

The three demon realms must have been about that size, so it was clear that the guy named Beelzebub who had obtained both of them was a monster beyond imagination.

-Strong. That too, incredibly. This guy is a monster that has ruled the demon world since I was a human. He is not called the king of demons for nothing.

‘Hmm…’

– To be honest, I hoped that something like that wouldn’t come out of Baek Eun-kyung’s mouth, but it seems like you only pick difficult fights.

Darkness looked at itself, half pitifully and half interestingly.

“What after that?”

“Beelzebub disappeared, and the whole earth began to be infested with demons and the monsters they brought with them. “Despite the difficult fight, the talented people continued to search for Beelzebub’s hideout, but it took a lot of time before they found it.”

“Where is it?”

“It’s a place you know well. “The guy was hiding deep in the ground in front of us.”

-It’s worth it.

The darkness slowly moved the blade like a watermill.

-From the first time I heard he was hiding, I thought he was there. Because that land is stained with the curse and blood of humans and dark monsters. By absorbing the energy embedded in the ground, you will be recovering the magic energy you consumed when crossing the dimension.

‘I heard you purified it before?’

-Yes, it must be a shallow bottom. The cursed energy sleeping deep in the earth cannot be erased by human power.

‘Damn it!’

Baek Woo-jin clicked his tongue. Even when her strength was weakened, Baek Eun-kyung felt fear, and she had no idea how much energy the guy who had regained his magical energy would unleash.

“Now that Beelzebub’s location has been found, talented people must have gathered to catch him, right? When does it leave?”

“We’ve already set off. “Today is the 65th day since Beelzebub appeared.”

Baek Eun-kyung sighed lightly and showed the documents that were on the table.

“It was a while ago that I discovered something was wrong on the front line, but I didn’t set off and waited for you. Because I decided that only with you could I defeat Beelzebub. But you didn’t show up for a month, and the talented people finally entered the forest yesterday, on the 64th day.”

She scratched the table roughly in disappointment and frustration.

“My brother and the deputy head took the prosecutors out, so there were no people in the family.”

“Yes. Only a few prosecutors, including me, remained here. “Because we also have to solve the problems that come from the city.”

“I understand now.”

Baek Woo-jin suddenly stood up.

“Baek Woo-jin?”

“I have to go. Even now.”

“You’re going right away? You too have a hard fight….”

“Don’t worry, I got enough rest.”

“but!”

“Sister, please take good care of this place.”

“Ah…”

Baek Eun-kyung was unable to continue speaking and looked at herself with eyes filled with various emotions. I gave her a small smile and headed towards the gate of the family home.

“let’s go.”

“yes!”

“I understand!”

Moon Ju-young and Moo Young-gaek, who were listening at the entrance, opened the door and bowed their heads. Despite hearing all the circumstances, they did not waver in the slightest.

-Hmm….

As I was leaving Gajujeon, the darkness fluttered like a weak kite.

‘why?’

-There’s nothing to say about our work causing damage to your world.

‘It’s not like you to say something.’

Baek Woo-jin calmly shook his head.

‘It’s not because of you, things turned out that way. You don’t have to feel sorry for me. ‘Since when did you become so weak?’

-This guy….

‘If you want to do something, do your best to help me in the later battles. That’s enough.’

-OK! I will cut off Beelzebub’s head with my blade!

‘Good.’

Baek Woo-jin smiled and nodded.

‘Let’s go see the face of that damned bastard who interrupted my rest and your drama.’

**

Baek Woo-jin left Baekga with Moon Ju-young and Mu-yeong guest.

The situation outside was more serious than inside the White House. Maryeong-do was spread out all over the roads and sidewalks, so there were no people or cars passing by.

If it weren’t for the talented people patrolling in groups, you’d think it was a ghost town.

People were so scared that they locked the door, but right now it was more important to solve the cause rather than taking care of them, so they went straight through the portal and headed straight to the front.

“Tsk, it’s even worse than before.”

Baek Woo-jin, who came out of the portal and looked at the scenery ahead, twisted his mouth.

There was no black tree that stood tall like a spire, but where the black tree was stuck, a black air current the size of piercing the sky rose up. It seemed like an endlessly rotating waterspout was piercing the sky.

“Go, matriarch. The floor…”

“It’s all covered in demonic soil?”

“Hmm…”

Just as Moon Ju-young and Mu Young-gaek said, the entire land in front had been transformed into magic land. It was completely different from Seoul, which was only partially eroded.

However, the problem is not Maryeong-to.

The enormous concentration of demonic energy weighing heavily on this entire space was serious.

-The demon transformation is almost complete.

‘I can see it with my own eyes.’

As the darkness said, it seemed as if this place was not Earth, but the Demon World itself.

-If we can’t stop it, the whole world will end up like that. I probably won’t be able to film the drama properly.

‘Is there any drama there?’

-Because it’s the most important thing.

‘I am indeed.’

Baek Woo-jin laughed and headed toward the forest ahead.

On the road leading to the front, talented people wearing white clothes were gathered in a circle. It seemed to be a support unit.

“uh? “That person!”

“No way!”

“Baek Woo-jin! “It’s Baek Woo-jin!”

“You’re finally here!”

“Hyeopje!”

“Aaaah!”

The talented members of the support unit who identified themselves cheered and waved their hands like guitar strings.

“Baek Woo-jin?”

Jeong Geun-ho jumped out from the center of the cheering crowd and widened his eyes.

“What happened to you…”

“Now you’re back. “What are you doing here?”

“Did you know everything about your situation?”

“I heard that talented people entered yesterday.”

“Phew, then the story will be quick. I’m protecting this place. “To stop the demons that come out of there and take out the wounded.”

Jeong Geun-ho pointed to the entrance to a forest filled with darkness.

-You are in charge of important work. Is this guy also paying for food now?

‘Because my energy and strength have become stronger.’

Jeong Geun-ho’s spirit energy has grown to a level that is different from before. I was not given this important task for nothing.

“What is the situation?”

“I heard that it entered the relay this morning, but there has been no communication since then.”

“Relay?”

“That place.”

Jeong Geun-ho turned and pointed to the center of the forest covered with black air currents.

“It’s a stage we divided arbitrarily. From this entrance, the place where the original air current bursts is the center of the relay air current, and the deepest place is the deep world. “Every time the level changes, the quality of the demon energy and the level of the demons change.”

“Right.”

It was similar to before. Because the closer you get to the center, the harder it becomes. However, this time there was a more terrible energy and stronger demons.

“Are there any injuries?”

“okay. “Not a single person came out.”

“…It’s not a good sign.”

It’s a battle with demons, and there’s no way there won’t be any injuries. It means that he died without being able to come out.

“Are you going right away?”

“I have to go.”

Baek Woo-jin left the support unit without a moment of hesitation and headed toward the entrance of the forest. Moon Joo-young followed behind with a stern look on his face and Mu Young-gaek with a mysterious look in his eyes.

“Lord Baek! please!”

“Please defeat the devil!”

“please! Please save others!”

“Hmm….”

Jeong Geun-ho narrowed his eyes as he saw Baek Woo-jin leaving while listening to the earnest voices of the talented people.

‘I feel like my anxiety is suddenly disappearing…’

Until a little while ago, the support unit was weighed down with anxiety and fear about the demons. I thought it would be difficult to break through the demons and kill the demon lord even if all the famous talents were gathered together.

But it was different now.

Just with the arrival of Baek Woo-jin, the darkness disappeared from the eyes of the talented members of the support unit, and light began to soar.

‘I get it now.’

I felt like I finally knew what Baek Woo-jin’s true ability was that his teacher Yoon Woo-min had mentioned.

‘Is that hope?’
