Chapter 405
Episode 405 Side Story 4 Darkness (4)
“It strengthens concentration.”
Karen laughed as she looked at her broken door.
“Strengthen your concentration?”
“yes.”
“That’s it?”
“yes.”
She nodded her head as if it was no big deal.
“The energy contained in the sword was enormous?”
Baek Woo-jin narrowed her eyes. Inside the Chubaekgeom, there was an energy as strong as that of the Changcheongeom. She never thought that it only had the ability to enhance concentration.
“Of course, there are options for strengthening sword skills and aura, but the most important thing is strengthening concentration.”
“You have tricked darkness again.”
“Only half.”
Karen lifted her finger and smiled.
“half?”
“That sword increases your concentration tremendously. If you receive that effect, you will think that the sword truly grants wishes. “The simpler it is, the more effective it is.”
“simple? ah….”
Baek Woo-jin nodded her head. In darkness, he is the simplest human being he knows. I thought I could fully enjoy the effects of that sword.
“Hmm.”
She glanced at Karen. She was smiling with joy and anticipation.
‘Darkness. ‘You will never be able to beat Karen.’
**
Heukam stood at the entrance to the training ground and looked around.
The training equipment beneath the walls was oiled, and the gym floor was well-trodden like a tennis court.
‘Did they keep cleaning it?’
This luxurious training hall was given to Baek Woo-jin as a gift when he returned to Baekga.
Even though it hasn’t been used since the first month, it looks like it has been maintained consistently as it looks so clean.
‘Anyway, that guy…’
Although I was grateful to Baek Woo-jin, I was so embarrassed that I couldn’t raise my head. Even though the gym was kept so clean, I was watching a drama.
“Ugh.”
He sighed and lifted his head. It felt like the stinging sunlight was reprimanding me.
“No. no.”
It’s already been a while since I wasted time getting caught up in dramas. Wasn’t he scolded by Karen too? Now is not the time for her to be regretful.
“Recommendation.”
As I shouted the name of my newly acquired sword, the air split into crosses and a black sword came out.
Heukam grabbed the sword of Chu Baek Sword with a strong wish to catch up with Baek Woo-jin.
Wooooow!
The energy inside the Chu Baek Sword was still powerful. It felt like I had caught pure and huge natural mana.
“Uhm….”
The darkness groaned. The moment I held the sword, time in the world passed slowly and my five senses became much more sensitive.
‘That wasn’t a lie?’
He didn’t believe everything she said, as Karen had been the one to deal with it more than once.
I thought she gave me a reasonably good sword, but this was real.
The rays of the sun and the blowing wind seemed to touch my skin. In addition to my five senses, I feel like my inspiration has also been amplified.
“…amazing.”
This sword was special.
I don’t know if it’s really a wish-granting sword, but it’s definitely a great help in training.
Darkness closed its mouth tightly and struck down its sword.
Whoa!
Vertical cut. From basic swordsmanship that even a five-year-old child could do, a swordstorm that was at the level of a season unleashed by an absolute being rose up.
‘This is not it.’
He raised his sword again. The blade that soared into the sky contained not only auras but also scattered thoughts.
Coooooo!

Intentions and auras mixed with the blade of the falling Chubaek sword, and a power that was different from before exploded.
“Neither is this.”
Darkness shook his head. The Aurors were used appropriately, but the intent was lacking.
I picked up my sword. And struck down. The same movement was repeated countless times.
Like when I first learned the sword and fell deeply into the world of the sword.
**
Baek Woo-jin sat on the wall of the gym and looked down at the darkness.
‘You’re concentrating properly.’
Even though he didn’t kill anyone, the darkness was deeply immersed in the sword, as he didn’t know he was there.
‘Well, it’s that kind of sword.’
The ability of that sword, which Darkness named Chubaek, is to strengthen concentration.
Although it does not have the ability to grant Karen’s wish to Darkness, it is a sword that can be more helpful to Darkness than that.
Whoa!
The sound of darkness striking a sword gradually changes.
The sound went from rough, like scraping sandpaper, to soft, like cutting tofu.
‘I’m getting better at using my thoughts.’
Since Darkness had neglected training after reaching the intermediate level of transcendence, he was immature in the use of his thoughts.
That immaturity began to change little by little within 4 hours of starting proper training.
“under!”
Baek Woo-jin laughed.
“They say they’re sick of me, but they’re even worse.”
Heukam always got angry when he saw his luck and talent, but now that he sees it, his talent is even worse.
Even after getting scolded by Karen and getting the Chubaek sword, he didn’t expect that he would change so quickly.
‘There’s a reason Karen didn’t come.’
Karen said she believed in darkness, but she didn’t come here, and she was cleaning up his room.
‘Well, I am a person who has seen darkness for a thousand years.’
As someone who endured for a thousand years to revive darkness, Karen knew this guy very well.
“Hmm.”
Baek Woo-jin stood up after seeing the darkness repeating endless vertical cuts.
“Don’t make me wait too long.”
On the wall, only Baek Woo-jin’s reverberating voice flowed, and his image was scattered like dust.
Whoa!
In the dark, lonely training hall, only the sound of swords being swung could be heard until the moon rose.
**
Darkness stood in the training ground in the blue light of dawn and looked at the Chubaek sword in his hand.
‘It’s already been a month…’
It’s been a month since I picked up the sword again.
To put it simply, what I did during that time was eating and sleeping. He ate, swung his sword, and slept.
‘The drama was also sealed.’
I haven’t even seen a drama where you can’t live or die like that.
He woke up in the morning and swung his sword with all his might, and at night he returned with a body as heavy as wet cotton and slept in his room.
Thanks to the intense training, his physical senses returned.
Before he stopped his training. No, before he became a demon sword, he was in the state he was in when he thought he had reached the pinnacle of nothingness on the Marutun Continent.
“Whoop.”
I climbed up, basked in the warm sunlight, and made a confession.
When the sword was struck, a cool sound as if space was being cut cut through the air.
It is not just the body that is restored after one month of training. The sharpness of the tip of the sword also came back to life.
Heukam used all the sword techniques he knew and those he did not know, from the basic sword techniques to the sword techniques he created himself and Baek Woo-jin’s sword techniques, and then stopped Chubaek Sword.
Wooooow.
The aura flowing throughout my body and the thoughts floating around outside came together and covered my body.
Gooooo!
A blazing energy like the flames of hell ignited auras and intentions, creating a terrifying wave.
It slows down.
The world flows more slowly than when Chubaek was holding it. The same goes for your body.
My limbs could not move properly, as if I was stuck in the mud of a deep abyss.
‘but.’
Others will be slower.
To put it properly, this phenomenon occurred because he was too fast and used too strong energy.
However, even with this ‘light and dark’, he cannot defeat even Baek Woo-jin, who did not use the Heart Sword.
“Whoop!”
Darkness let out a rough breath and frowned.
‘I’m dying.’
The ability of light and darkness is a deadly skill, like Baek Woo-jin’s heart sword. If you keep doing this for a long time, it will inevitably be so hard that you die.
Sweat was pouring down like rain, and my lungs and heart hurt as if they were being torn apart. My legs also swayed as if they were loose.
Even though he felt as if tens of thousands of pounds of weight were attached to his entire body, he did not stop using light and dark. I gritted my teeth and held on.
“Hehehe!”
The darkness stayed in that state for five more minutes before releasing the light and darkness and taking his breath away.
‘Now that I think about it, Baek Woo-jin has also been like this.’
It’s different from maintaining light and dark, but when we first met, Baek Woo-jin ran through the gym until he was on the verge of death.
That image was still deeply embedded in his mind.
“There’s no way I couldn’t do what that guy did.”
After catching my breath, I got up and practiced basic swordsmanship.
When the burden on his body subsided and his thoughts returned, he activated light and dark.
I repeated the training of sword and intention until the rising sun sank below the western mountain.
“Whoop.”
Only when the darkness saw the setting sun did it lower its sword. Although he had no energy, his fullness filled his heart.
‘Let’s go now.’
After organizing the training ground, he headed to Gaju Battle.
“Hey, old man of darkness!”
Muyounggaek, who was joking in front of Gajujeon, waved his hand.
“There’s a really interesting drama on TBS these days, why don’t you watch it? Training is not important now! “There is a work that will win the Drama of the Year award!”
To say something like that even though you know that he is just training and quitting the drama, he is still an obnoxious bastard.
“It’s really fun because the actors’ acting skills are amazing. “There’s a lot of acting skills on par with Kang Ah-reum!”
“noisy.”
“Old man!”
I ignored him and entered the Gaju battle.
“Are you here?”
Moon Ju-young, who was standing in front of Baek Woo-jin’s room, took a silent bow.
“Are you… the head of the house?”
Since there were other people besides Moon Joo-young, she called him the matriarch, not that guy.
“He is inside. Please come in.”
“i get it.”
“It’s good to see you practicing again.”
“You’re noisy too.”
I passed Moon Joo-young, who opened the door, and entered her room. Baek Woo-jin was sitting at the desk and reading a bunch of documents.
“What’s wrong with you?”
Baek Woo-jin tilted his head.
“I came to take on the challenge.”
“challenge?”
“3 years later today. “Let’s hit it off.”
“Hoo.”
Baek Woo-jin quenched his appetite. The guy’s black eyes seemed to be burning red.
“This is the first time you’ve said something you like since you came back here. Have you given up on dramas now?”
“Are you crazy? Giving up the greatest joy of my life? “I’m just holding back to enjoy it slowly after breaking the back of your head.”
Is there any way to give up on dramas? I plan to beat Baek Woo-jin three years later and unseal the drama by eating tripe and drinking soju.
“okay?”
Baek Woo-jin stands up from his seat and approaches.
Coo coo coo coo!
With each step, his energy amplifies to a frightening level. It feels like the majestic Mount Tai is approaching.
‘Keuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu….’
My heart was squeezed by Baek Woo-jin’s energy wave, which grew so huge that it seemed as if it would explode at any moment. It was an operation of thought that was of a different class.
‘Is this Baek Woo-jin’s true power?’
To say that it is enormous is not enough.
A force that started from the ground and pierced the sky. It felt like even the realm of transcendence had been torn apart.
I felt like I would give in if I stayed still. I used the intention I had been training to block the guy’s energy waves.
“Huh….”
Although he couldn’t completely block it, he was able to catch his breath.
“Hmm….”
When Baek Woo-jin saw that, a clearer light flashed in his eyes.
“Darkness. As you grow, I also develop. “Is it really 3 years?”
“That was also taken into account. “Three years is enough for you.”
“Ha ha ha ha ha!”
Baek Woo-jin burst into laughter and collected all the energy he had unleashed.
“Looking at that inexplicable confidence, it seems like you’ve really come back now. good. 3 years. “I will happily wait.”
The guy smiled playfully, as if he had returned to his childhood. It was a smile full of joy and anticipation.
“If you take your time like that, you’re going to get seriously hurt, right?”
“don’t worry. “I will try desperately to keep the distance from narrowing.”
“I won’t come visit you until that day in three years.”
“hey!”
Darkness turned around, letting out a heavy voice. As I was about to confidently open the door and go out, I heard Baek Woo-jin’s voice.
“Because Karen asked me to eat with Yeonhwa. “Save some time this Saturday.”
“Ugh!”
He frowned and glared at Baek Woo-jin.
“Well, please say that quickly. “I managed to set the mood…”
“It’s fun. Oh, one more thing!”
Baek Woo-jin raised one of his fingers.
“What is it again?”
“I’m not the only one waiting. “You know it well.”
“….”
Darkness looked at Baek Woo-jin for a moment without answering, then turned his body and left the house.
“As expected, I know.”
Baek Woo-jin grinned as he looked at the darkness through the closing door.
***
“Anyway, neither the owner nor the subordinates like it!”
Darkness walked back to the night dance hall.
“Recommendation.”
He summoned the Chubaek sword and held it in his hand. The black blade, bathed in moonlight, shined sharply as if cutting through a soul.
‘Karen…’
When I saw the sword, I thought of Karen.
No, she would have come up with that too. Because the other person Baek Woo-jin mentioned was Karen.
“ha….”
He sighed and looked up at the night sky.
‘A thousand years?’
Karen has lived alone for a thousand years. She has one intention to save herself and stop her cabalon.
That is a great feat that neither Baek Woo-jin nor himself can accomplish. It is no exaggeration to say that she saved two worlds, Marutun and Earth.
She wanted to give her happiness to her after all her hard work. I wish she would always smile.
She wanted to tell him to stay with her for the rest of her life, but she didn’t think she deserved to be with such an amazing woman, so she couldn’t get her words out.
‘but.’
It was different now.
After a month of high-intensity training, her self-confidence, which had been sinking, began to rise like a well at dawn.
Kuuk.
The darkness gave strength to the hand holding the Chubaek sword.
‘I have to do it now.’
Three years later, he defeated Baek Woo-jin and promised to stand proudly in front of Karen and confess.
“wait a munite. Karen.”
Darkness bit his lips tightly and struck down his Chubaek sword.
With that one swing, one day of training, and one year of sweat, three years have passed.
