#39. Baekgureum, the swordsman genius of the East!
“… Be honest. “You went to God’s part-time job alone, right?”
“huh.”
“confident?”
“why? “Is there any reason why I can’t be confident?”
Damdeok looked at Ju Soo-yul, who was walking next to him, with eyes filled with suspicion.
She showed up after a week. It also exudes a very dangerous aura.
I asked him where he had been, but of course he didn’t give me an answer.
Damn it.
“If Juso-yul’s foresight is right, only I, along with the 12 Guardians, can stop the war of the gods. that’s right?”
“okay. “I’ve already told you countless times.”
“You said the reason you’re cooperating with me is because if you don’t stop the war between the gods, you’ll die.”
“huh. however?”
Ju Soo-yul looked at me with a look that asked me what on earth I was curious about.
“… “Why don’t you tell me where you went?”
“bothered. too long.”
“Tell me briefly.”
“Are you saying it’s bothersome?”
“after… .”
It’s always like this.
Why is there so much to hide, and is this why teamwork works properly?
[The target’s intention is close to good!]
“Yes, yes. I knew… .”
I quickly dismissed the message that appeared before my eyes.
I know.
Jo Soo-yul’s actions will be for my benefit anyway.
Even if it is not a message of good or evil, you can understand that much.
“Well, it’s okay if you come back.”
“… … .”
I decided not to ask any more questions.
To be honest, Jooyul and I only have the same final goal, the war of the gods, but there is no need to act as if we are one body.
Just like me, everyone has their own circumstances.
I have no intention or desire to touch on details as long as it doesn’t interfere with the final goal.
“Time is running out. let’s hurry.”
Ju Soo-yul nodded silently at my words.
The place we arrived at was the annex of the Sangun Guild, a medium-sized building built next to the main training center.
Two employees dressed in suits come running with their heads bowed.
“Welcome, Ju So-yul. “As you requested, we have prepared everything you need in the waiting room.”
“Damdeok Yu, I will take you this way.”
Guided by overly polite staff, Damdeok and Jooyul entered the spacious waiting room.
With soft lighting, top-of-the-line massagers, various types of food, and a soft king-size bed, it was a visual worthy of a five-star hotel.
“What, we’re having a sparring match and the waiting room is decorated in such a grand way?”
“… “Grandpa Eon ordered it.”
He looked a little surprised, probably not knowing that the address rate would be this high.
“Mr. Namgoong Do-eok too… .”
Damdeok changed into the prepared white military uniform and clicked his tongue.
“Since it is a special game, I guess they will give you some treatment as you participate in the Sangun side.”
Ju Soo-yul answered while looking around every corner of the room.
Damdeok also agreed with that statement.
‘I guess so. ‘They were so excited when I told them I was going to do a special game.’
Namgung Do-eok’s excessive kindness has continued steadily since the Labyrinth Dungeon.
In addition to the use of the training center, the facilities within the Sangun Guild were allowed to be used almost free of charge, so VIPs were not treated like VIPs.
Moreover, ever since Namgung Do-eok’s attack team returned from successfully conquering the Okinawa underwater dungeon, he had been explicitly encouraging Damdeok to join the guild.
And a few days ago, it was Damdeok who politely declined Namgung Do-eok’s scouting offer.
Namgung Do-eok tried to persuade him several times with a very regretful look on his face, but Damdeok’s mind never changed.
‘There’s a lot of work to do in the future.’
Now that he had to go to another dimension to collect guardians, he had no time to explore the toy dungeons created by the modern gods of joy and pleasure.
The last thing Namgung Do-eok requested after Damdeok’s resolute refusal was this special match.
‘Even though I don’t belong to the Sangun and do activities, it’s a good attraction to show off internally and externally that I am closest to the Sangun.’
There were already many people, both externally and internally, who thought Damdeok belonged to the Sangun due to his frequent visits to the Sangun guild.
However, since he flatly refused, saying that he did not want to belong to the mountain army, Namgung Do-eok was trying to save his last face.
‘… It’s like a special game or something.’
To be honest, it wasn’t a very burdensome request. Sparring is literally a friendly match, and it’s not even the main match, it’s just a special match.
In addition, Damdeok was also very bothered by the fact that he rejected Namgung Do-eok’s scouting offer.
‘Let’s do it in moderation.’
Even if you just roughly match the rhythm, not only Namgoong Do-eok but also yourself will feel at ease.
“Let’s go.”
Tighten the belt of your white military uniform! Damdeok left the room with a light heart.

* * *
Wow!!
The spacious training center had suddenly been transformed into a magnificent stadium.
The stands on both sides were overflowing with colors, divided into the red of Iris and the blue of Sangun.
‘Yesterday was a taming competition, today is a friendly match… .’
As expected of the 2nd largest guild in the country, it is busy with various events.
Damdeok lightly relaxed his body and looked at the player entrance door on the other side.
The opposing player has not yet appeared.
‘Who’s going to come out?’
Originally, it was said that Iris’s first raid team, a person called the Iron-Blooded Hunter, would appear, but I heard that Damdeok’s opponent changed several times as he rushed to conquer the Baekdu Mountain dungeon.
‘It doesn’t matter who it is, whatever.’
Namgung Do-eok said he would let him know once the opponent was clearly decided, but Damdeok said it was okay.
It didn’t matter who came out.
It’s a game where all you have to do is fulfill your obligations.
Meanwhile, the door on the other side slowly opened.
A white curly hair like a cartoon character stuck its head out.
At the same time, Ju Soo-yul, who was standing behind him, whispered softly.
“found.”
“what… ?”
Wow!!
A wave of red shouts poured out.
A boy walks out waving his hands to thunderous applause.
Amidst the cheers, Ju Soo-yul was shouting something at Damdeok.
Thanks to the heated atmosphere, the host vigorously grabs the microphone and begins introducing the players.
“Okay then! Last of the day! Sangun’s Star You! wall! virtue! Hunter and Iris’ genius boy! hundred! nine! Wow! Hunter’s match starts now!”
The game started with another shout.
But the two just stood there without moving… .
Baekgureum, lightly holding his sword, was looking at Damdeok with a puzzled expression.
‘What, why are you so flustered?’
The man in front of him, Yu Dam-deok, was literally looking at himself, wondering what was so good about him.
He even chatted with Ju Soo-yul, the successor to Sangun, who was standing behind him, and even pointed at me with his finger and laughed.
White Cloud’s eyebrows twitched.
Are you ignoring me?
I have heard of a hunter named Yu Dam-deok well.
An unlucky man with no talent became a 6-star hunter with miraculous power.
‘So you’re going to act proud in front of me now?’
The corners of Baekgureum’s mouth slowly rose.
“That’s fun.”
Taaat!
Inyeong and Damdeok were rushing quickly, and even then, their faces were smiling.
Wedge!
White Cloud’s sword fiercely cut through the air.
It was a perfect horizontal cut that went precisely towards Damdeok’s temple.
however… .
“haha! Sorry sorry. Did you feel bad because you laughed? “I’m doing it because I like it, so don’t misunderstand.”
Damdeok dodged the sword very easily. Even smiling leisurely and saying his lines?
‘What is this person…? ‘What’s so good about it all of a sudden?’
Baekgureum tilted his head and attacked a little faster.
Huh! Hung! Whoa!
The attack went in without hesitation, and everything was a one-shot killing blow, but Damdeok was blocking all of them.
Ta-dak! Perfect! Crack!
‘Nonsense. Preventing all of this?’
Baekgureum was embarrassed because it was his first time experiencing it.
The hand holding the wooden sword is as light as usual, but for some reason, attacks keep getting blocked.
As if they were sparring in unison, Damdeok was accurately blocking his own attacks.
‘why… ? ‘This can’t be happening?’
Baekgureum focused his eyes and looked at the other person.
He stands shoulder to shoulder with the best prosecutors in the country, and indeed in the world.
It’s an embarrassing thing to say with one’s own mouth, but haven’t the world’s top prosecutors been jokingly saying that the child who will rise to the position of the world’s greatest prosecutor is Korea’s White Cloud since I was 10 years old?
And now that I was 17, those jokes were becoming a fait accompli.
however… however!!! How can you block my attack so easily?
It couldn’t be like this.
‘Was I being too gentle?’
Baekgureum gritted his teeth and increased his speed even further.
The opponent is only a 6-star hunter, and since he is a minor, he is still only a 5-star, and he had already easily defeated a 7-star British swordsman last month.
This means that the attack will not be blocked by something like 6 stars.
“Ha! Yay!”
Sigh! Sigh! Sigh!
The white cloud sword flew faster and faster.
In response, Damdeok’s movements were also reacting faster.
‘How on earth… ! Damn it, I really don’t care anymore!’
The white clouds are cloudy! She took a deep breath and launched herself towards Damdeok.
Wedge!
A sharp attack, different from before, passed by Damdeok’s right ear.
“Oh my, it’s friendly, so why are you being so violent?”
Damdeok just tilted his head slightly to avoid it and was looking down at the white clouds.
“ha. ha.”
What I just did was a stab with all my might… .
White Cloud’s eyes shook violently.
What on earth?
What is this guy?
I swear, this was the first time anyone treated me like this when I was sparring with them.
“… “What are you doing now?”
Baekgureum growled and spat at Damdeok.
“what?”
“Why are you avoiding me? “Are you not confident in your attacks?”
Damdeok laughed at the 17-year-old’s cheeky remark.
‘This bastard…’ Just as I heard.’
A child who has received worldwide attention and lived as a swordsman genius since a young age. Of course, people around him would have been praising him, and the result would have been to create this cocky genius boy.
‘Yes, this guy’s swordsmanship is definitely excellent.’
Damdeok slightly turned his wrist, which was still whining.
To be honest, Baek Gureum’s swordsmanship skills were beyond imagination.
Apparently, the thing he was holding was a wooden sword for sparring, but when he swung it, a wind of swords instantly rose and became fierce, the straight sword bent at some point as if dancing, and the fancy sword that had been coming in irregularly suddenly pushed in like a rock. Because I did it.
His swordsmanship was so perfect that I thought it was the second time in his life.
‘If you look at swordsmanship alone, he is currently at a level higher than mine.’
Of course, his swordsmanship still had a long way to go.
But isn’t it truly amazing that a 17-year-old child is better than the swordsman himself?
The reason Damdeok didn’t attack and just blocked was because he couldn’t find a loophole for Baekgureum.
‘This won’t be easy.’
Baek Gureum, the first of the 12 guardians mentioned by Ju Ju-yul.
In order to subjugate him, several conditions were necessary.
The first one… .
‘Awe.’
Making the other person feel in awe of me. This needs to be achieved first, but it doesn’t seem easy in the current situation.
Can I really instill awe in a guy who uses a sword better than me?
“Are you saying no comment? Well, it doesn’t matter. “In the first place, a prosecutor speaks with his sword.”
White Cloud made a cocky noise again and stretched out his sword.
The sword, which was as soft as hanji, suddenly turned into a cat’s claw and struck Damdeok on the shoulder.
Pow!
Baekgureum smiled in satisfaction as he looked at Damdeok, who was slightly stumbling.
“It’s finally starting to work out properly.”
After all, no matter how famous a hunter is, if I get it right, I will win.
Haven’t countless adults fallen by their own swords?
The man in front of me will also follow those same trains.
“Then, shall we get started and do poor Jungak a favor?”
Baekgureum swung his wooden sword and slowly circled around Damdeok.
“Where should I start from? Right arm? Left arm? Thighs? Achilles heel?”
Bloody words flowed from the boy’s mouth.
Damdeok stood without saying a word, holding his shoulder.
“Hmm, if I don’t say anything, it will be decided randomly?”
Baekgureum had a happy face, as if he was playing a game.
Soon his arms were quickly raised.
“Be aware. “No matter who comes to this world, if I fight with a sword, I will definitely win.”
Wedge!
The tip of the wooden sword flies sharply towards Achilles tendon.
It was a heavy swing that could rupture the entire ligament with just one blow.
‘haha. After all, adults are all skilled enough.’
The moment when Baekgureum grinned and the tip of the wooden sword touched Damdeok’s ankle.
Absolutely!!
With a harsh sound, White Cloud’s eyes widened.
“W-what!”
A wooden sword that was horribly broken under Damdeok’s shoes.
The speed was so fast that it was impossible to understand the situation for a moment.
‘… how? ‘You destroyed the flying wooden sword in that short moment?’
Is that possible at human speed?
“damn… !!”
Damdeok quickly clung to Baekgureum, who backed away in embarrassment.
“Even if you are still the strongest with a sword, it’s not like anything else, right?”
“… what?”
A large fist was already flying in front of Baekureum’s eyes.
