I Became a Renowned Family’s Sword Prodigy

Episode 46. Artisans’ Island (3) Brothers

Jeong Cheol-min and Jeong Cheol-myeong, who belong to the criminal guild Zenon, were looking down at the coast from a mountain where they could see the entire Artisan Island.

bang!

Jeong Cheol-min nodded as explosions and flames erupted from the coast.

“Now is the time. in action.”

“I know.”

The two brothers stood up, looking at the rising smoke.

“The overriding goal is to be the ‘incarnation of fire.’”

“I know.”

“Use Hualien Stealth.”

“I know!”

Jeong Cheol-myeong was nervous and covered his body with red energy.

Hwaryeon Stealth is a stealth technique that uses fire attribute mana and is more effective in hotter places.

-let’s go.

After going down the mountain, the two stopped in front of Kim Jang-hoon’s blacksmith shop and took more cautious movements.

I saw the guardian guarding this place leave, but it was because Baek Woo-jin and his escort were there.

-First, I will go east, so you go west. You have to kill Baek Woo-jin and his guard at the same time.

-okay.

-If it seems dangerous, just get out of there right away.

-Because I understand. Stop nagging!

It was when Jeong Cheol-myeong got annoyed with Jeong Cheol-min and moved west.

“Where?”

“omg!”

Jeong Cheol-myeong felt his heart sink at the voice he heard from behind him. I pulled away immediately as my instincts told me, but it was already too late.

Sigh!

Jeong Cheol-myeong’s head was cut off by Baek Woo-jin’s sharp sword technique.

“Wow…”

Jeong Cheol-myeong didn’t know who killed him until the moment he died.

“Cheolmyeong, my wife!”

Jeong Cheol-min looked at his dead brother with mesmerized eyes. It felt like I was having a nightmare.

“How could you…”

Jeong Cheol-min glared at Baek Woo-jin, his whole body trembling.

In a space full of heat like this, even those with level 6 abilities cannot understand Hualien Stealth.

I couldn’t figure out how that young guy discovered Jeong Cheol-myeong’s hiding place.

“Baek Woo-jin….”

A red aura flickered from Jeong Cheol-min’s body. It felt like a volcano was burning with his anger.

“There are a lot of people to protect, so let’s finish this quickly.”

Black flames began to burn on Baek Woo-jin’s whole body. He rushed towards Jeong Cheol-min while using his sword.

Quaaaaa!

Jeong Cheol-min gritted his molars and took out the scimitar he was wearing at his waist. A red aura surged from his scimitar.

Whoops!

Jeong Cheol-min’s scimitar was barely defeated by Baek Woo-jin’s swordsmanship. As expected from level 6, it was filled with strong aura and power.

Okay!

Awesome!

Baek Woo-jin and Jeong Cheol-min used each other’s sword skills and struck dozens of swords in just a few breaths.

‘How on earth did this happen…’

Jeong Cheol-min’s eyes were shaking like waves.

I know that Baek Woo-jin defeated a level 5 expert, but I never expected that he would show a sword strike that could match his own.

‘And why doesn’t the fire attribute work?’

The characteristics of fire attribute aura are strong destructive power and burning effect, but burning did not work on Baek Woo-jin at all.

It felt like dealing with a rock.

Kyaang!

Baek Woo-jin’s quick horizontal slash made Jeong Cheol-min’s sword bounce before it even came out.

“This guy…”

Jeong Cheol-min’s teeth chattered.

As the score exceeded 70 points, Baek Woo-jin began to pierce his sword.

It sounds ridiculous, but it seemed like Baek Woo-jin was predicting his sword.

-Congratulations. The ability of the clairvoyant has been activated.

‘That guy’s swordsmanship may have the virtue of being a simple assassin’s sword, but the sword’s edge is showing.’

After seeing Jeong Cheol-min’s swordsmanship several times, I was able to see where he was aiming and what type of weapon he would use.

I naturally recognized the enemy’s attack without even thinking about it.

The ability of the diaphanous body was nothing short of a fraud.

Quaaaang!

Jeong Cheol-min’s sword lost its trajectory and shook as if it would break due to Baek Woo-jin’s black king bullet.

Pow!

Baek Woo-jin did not miss the opportunity and carried the Auror on his shoulder, breaking Jeong Cheol-min’s ribs.

“Aaaah!”

Jeong Cheol-min backed away like crazy, spitting blood from his mouth.

“What am I going to do here when I can’t win properly?…”

“Do you think it’s going to end like this!”

Jeong Cheol-min put his hand into his arms and took out a red scale.

Phew!

Jeong Cheol-min mumbled an unknown language and stabbed the red scales with a knife.

Quaaaaa!

A huge firestorm burst out from the red scales and engulfed Baek Woo-jin and the blacksmith shop.

Grumble!

Flames covered everything and there was no way to escape. The people hiding in the blacksmith shop came out due to the stifling heat.

“What the hell is going on?”

“Don’t move!”

“Soo-soo…”

Seo In-ah and Hong A-ra knelt, and Moon Joo-young also broke into a cold sweat.

The only people standing properly were Kim Jang-hoon and Park Young-jin, who had already returned.

“It’s called Hualien Town.”

Jeong Cheol-min woke up unharmed with broken ribs and internal injuries. A cruel smile appeared on his lips.

“For people who have an affinity for the fire attribute like me, it is a powerful force, but for half-baked people like you, it is hell.”

“Ugh….”

“I didn’t know that I would use this dirtily expensive Jin for you, but it is cheap money to avenge my younger brother. “I will kill you by cutting off your limbs and burning you.”

Jeong Cheol-min lowered his head and approached Baek Woo-jin, who was out of breath. The plan was to cut off his limbs and throw them into the fire.

“uh?”

Jeong Cheol-min felt a strange sense of disconnect as he approached Baek Woo-jin.

Unlike Baek Woo-jin, who was having a hard time, he was not shedding a single drop of sweat.

“No way!”

“late.”

Black sword energy vibrated from Baek Woo-jin’s sword.

Pukaak!

Baek Woo-jin’s black king bullet cut through the flames and cut off Jeong Cheol-min’s right arm, who was holding the scimitar.

“Kwaaaaaak!”

“I also have a bit of that friendliness.”

Baek Woo-jin smiled and swung his sword to blow away the flames. To him, a fire zone like this was no different from a sauna.

Whoa!

Jeong Cheol-min’s arm was cut off and the scimitar fell, and Hualien Jin disappeared.

“Ah…”

Jeong Cheol-min took a step back with eyes filled with despair.

I couldn’t think of a way to stop the monster in front of me.

I just thought that everything was over.

“don’t worry. “Because I won’t kill you right away.”

“what?”

“Who brought you here?”

“How did you do that…”

Baek Woo-jin saw that there was a level 7 guardian in the center of the island.

Although their stealth can fool a level 6, it cannot fool a level 7.

He must have hid on the island before the battle with someone’s help.

“It must be with someone on this island…”

“Stop!”

As Baek Woo-jin approached Jeong Cheol-min, Park Young-jin’s voice was heard from behind.

“What…”

When Baek Woo-jin turned his head, Park Young-jin was stabbing Seo In-ah in the neck with a sharp dagger.

Of course, I thought they were on the same side, and even Moon Joo-young couldn’t react because he was focused on Baek Woo-jin.

“Mr. Youngjin?”

“Yeo Youngjin!”

“Uncle Youngjin!”

Park Young-jin did not answer anyone’s calls. He clung to Jeong Cheol-min’s side while holding the terrified Seo In-ah.

The sharp blade was so close to Seo In-ah’s artery that she couldn’t do anything.

“Youngjin! “What are you doing!”

“This is all because of Master!”

In response to Kim Jang-hoon’s question, Park Young-jin actually screamed.

“How long must I stay stuck behind my teacher!”

“Youngjin….”

“I realized it when the teacher was handling that metal. You have no intention of handing over your position to me. Even after 10 years, I’ll still be licking your feet! “If I stay under you, my time will never come!”

Park Young-jin gritted his teeth and glared at Kim Jang-hoon. Because of this, a lot of blood flowed from Seo In-ah’s neck.

“You…”

Kim Jang-hoon was speechless due to his disciple’s betrayal. His legs became weak and he sat down.

“There are more than one thing that makes me feel frustrated when I look at you, Master! If you had monopolized the fire incarnation, you could have made a much better weapon, but you buried it in the ground to share it with everyone! “What are you doing!”

“No way, the incarnation of fire!”

“I found it. “He kept it very hidden.”

Park Young-jin glanced at his left pocket with a bizarre smile.

“Master told you to be careful not to become a horseman, right? I would rather follow these guys and become a horseman than wait for them to take over from me. With the power of the Avatar, I will create a magic sword that will be no match for Master!”

“Ah…”

Kim Jang-hoon felt a severe headache. The student I had seen for the past 20 years felt so far away.

I felt like I had become a completely different person.

“My father-in-law was planning to hand over his position to you after this incident!”

“Now stop talking nonsense!”

Park Young-jin’s eyes were half-turned. I was out of my mind.

“Is the warp ready?”

“That’s right. “As long as what you installed works, you can go right away.”

Jeong Cheol-min shook the bracelet on his left hand.

He looked as if he had met a savior, as if he had never thought that he would be saved by Park Young-jin.

“Because I took care of Hwashin. “Let’s go right away.”

The only one who can use warp on this island is the Arcane Guild, and it seems they have prepared for that in advance.

“Uncle Youngjin.”

Baek Woo-jin came forward, thinking that he could not miss them like this.

“Put down the knife! “I’m really going to kill you!”

Park Young-jin kept Baek Woo-jin in check by holding the dagger deeper into Seo In-ah’s neck.

“All right. “I’ll put it down.”

Baek Woo-jin threw the raised sword behind his shoulder and dropped it.

Tuk.

The moment Baek Woo-jin’s sword fell to the ground, Park Young-jin’s body and the dagger fell slightly from Seo In-ah.

‘Darkness!’

-i get it.

The moment a gap appeared in the bodies of Seo In-ah and Park Young-jin, darkness materialized.

Jijijijik!

A black aura flashed in the darkness. It’s not an island. It is an island spread out in darkness.

Flash!

The sword energy of Biroe Island pierced through a small gap and cut off the arm of Park Yeong-jin, who was holding the sword.

“Kwaaaak!”

Park Young-jin grabbed his severed arm and fell back.

“shit!”

The moment Jeong Cheol-min was about to activate the bracelet, Baek Woo-jin rushed in, broke Jeong Cheol-min’s bracelet, and then plunged his sword into his shoulder.

“Keuheook!”

Baek Woo-jin knocked Jeong Cheol-min unconscious with a blow to his chin and then protected Seo In-ah.

“Oh don’t come!”

Park Young-jin was shaking and took out a large red seal from his pocket with his left arm.

That seal seems to be the embodiment of fire.

“If this explodes, everything on this island will die! Do not come!”

Park Young-jin lifted the seal as if he was going to break it.

“You must not touch the Avatar! Put it down right now!”

“Don’t talk nonsense! “I can’t die like this!”

“That object is a spiritual object. “I don’t allow anyone other than my master to touch me!”

“shut up!”

Park Young-jin vomited blood and shook the seal as if he would break it.

“Do you really want to go to the end?”

“If you hadn’t come, even if you had just left quickly, this wouldn’t have happened…huh?”

The fire began to burn in Park Young-jin’s arm, which was holding the incarnation of fire.

“Ugh!”

Park Young-jin threw an incarnation of fire and waved his hand, but the fire did not go out.

Grumble!

The flames instantly spread all over his body.

“Kwaaaaaak!”

Park Yeong-jin screamed in more pain than when his arm was cut off and rubbed his body on the floor, but the fire grew even bigger.

“Save me! “Kaaaa!”

Park Young-jin ran wild, shaking his entire body, but the fire never went down.

It burned everything in him as if it were the flames of hell.

“Uuuuu….”

Park Young-jin screamed and lost his breath, feeling the worst pain a human could feel in return for betraying his teacher, Kim Jang-hoon, and Seo In-ah, who was like his niece.

Whoa whoa.

The flame of incarnation turned everything in Park Young-jin to ashes and faded away like a lie.

-It’s a fitting end for a traitor.

**

After Park Young-jin died, Kim Jang-hoon did not say anything and just looked at the sea all day.

At dawn on the second day, he entered the blacksmith shop carrying the incarnation of fire.

He struck the hammer alone without allowing anyone to enter.

Whoops!

The sound of Kim Jang-hoon’s hammer was the same, but he felt depressed, bitter, and gloomy.

“Are you going?”

“I’ve been here for a long time and I have work to do.”

In this situation, he couldn’t ask for repairs or a sword, so Baek Woo-jin decided to return home.

“I have no way to contact my father right now because he is in a place where radio waves cannot communicate. When I return, I will contact you right away and bring you a better sword than Hwiyeon Sword. “Ara too.”

“thank you.”

“I am grateful. You’ve already saved my life twice. “To that old man…”

“I’ll just go.”

Baek Woo-jin looked at the blacksmith shop with a smile. Because I knew how Kim Jang-hoon felt, I thought it would be better to go without saying a word.

bang!

As I turned around after saying hello, the door to the blacksmith shop that had been closed for three days was wide open.

Inside, a skinny Kim Jang-hoon came out holding a sword.

“It’s your sword.”

“yes?”

“Your energy has permeated so much that I won’t accept another master.”

Kim Jang-hoon lifted his lips and forced a smile.

“My arm falls off. “What are you doing if you don’t receive it?”

“This is a new metal obtained from Arcane. Made by a craftsman…”

“Even if a weapon is precious, is it worth a human life? Since you saved my life and In-ah’s life, Seo Gong-myeong will also accept it. “Take it.”

Baek Woo-jin looked at Kim Jang-hoon.

Although he has not yet overcome his sadness, he perfected this sword in order to move forward without hesitation.

“thank you.”

Baek Woo-jin sensed Kim Jang-hoon’s feelings and politely accepted the sword.

“I thought this would be my last sword, but it turns out that it can’t be.”

“Hmm…”

I remembered that Kim Jang-hoon had said that Lee Geom would be the last to leave. I felt a bitter taste on my tongue.

“If you get it, why not pick it up?”

“Ah yes.”

From the first time I held the handle, I felt a sense of familiarity, as if I had held it hundreds or thousands of times.

Cheaeng!

It was a blade of a mysterious color mixed between gray and black.

Just seeing the light of the blade made my heart start to beat like crazy.

-I’ll give you an appraisal.

After the feeling of darkness ended, a red name flashed before Baek Woo-jin’s eyes.

‘Legendary…’
