094. Hero Kim Woo-jin (3)

Seid has been feeling strange lately.

The subject is Kim Woo-jin. He who has been with us for decades has changed recently.

It’s not an action, a tone, or an attitude. Something a little more substantive than that.

“I am more skillful than before.”

“Suddenly what?”

“Your son. One might say this to the spirit king’s flame, which was already pure, but the flame also became purer and denser. And the power of the hero contained in the flame has also become denser.”

At first I thought it was an illusion.

“Last time, the Easten defense battle is the same, and this battle is the same.”

Kim Woo-jin’s performance is always dazzling. Fight at the forefront and kill the most enemies.

However, he also has limitations. As human beings, stamina, mana, and power cannot flow endlessly.

Even so, in the two battles and the previous battle, Kim Woo-jin was different. It was more powerful, and it worked for a longer period of time.

“Suddenly, this is possible?”

“Because I am a warrior. The more monsters you catch, the more you accumulate and grow.”

“I am a warrior too. I’m growing too, but you’ve gone too far.”

“That’s why I’m called a hero.”

“gibberish.”

Seid ran forward. The emerald-colored aura spits freshness and returns those who have returned from the dead to their original places.

───!

At that time, a horrifying noise was heard that stimulated human instinct. Sade instinctively raised her sword, and the ink-colored blade flew through the space.

Jjouong, Seid received it with force. A wave of fire passed by him as he hesitated and hit his opponent.

melted the opponent

“Look at this! Turning the Death Knight into ashes at once and leaving it as usual?”

“Death Knights are naturally easy opponents. It’s the same for you, but it’s new.”

Each of the Death Knights, the commander of the Corps of Death, is a powerful monster, but at least it wasn’t for Kim Woo-jin and Seide.

If they struggled at the level of Death Knight, they would never have been called the hope of humanity or a hero.

“Since the last battle to defend Easten, where did you go every day?”

“walk.”

“Do you go for walks all day?”

“That’s not something an elf who climbs a tree and makes shit all day would say.”

“It is to control the spirit of the forest. And answer any questions you ask.”

“We are not in a relationship where we share every little thing. You have to protect what you protect.”

It was because of Albenius’ request. He told me not to talk about him to anyone in exchange for teaching me how to handle the power of the hero more properly and how to draw out the power of the Spirit King more smoothly.

Although things happened because of Kim Woo-jin’s threats, they couldn’t betray the other person’s goodwill.

“good night. Then I won’t have to work hard for you anymore.”

“When did you say you worked hard for me?”

“I wouldn’t say you don’t know how many people are looking for you when you go out for a walk.”

“At most three. Ainin, Alina, Leah.”

“There is one more. The three princesses of Mahar.”

“One more?”

“There will be more in the future. Because the royal family of the alliance is gathering in the kingdom of Bienderk. You know why.”

“…no matter how much I think about it, that’s hopeless.”

“I can’t wait to die. It is the best we can do before it is too late.”

That’s it.

Kim Woo-jin moved forward without a word. After being taught by Albenius, he split the undead army with pure flames that became more pure and hotter.

“You haven’t answered yet!”

Seid hurriedly followed suit.

* * *

Red light flames illuminate the dark cavity.

The flames extending like arrows are affected by external forces. It loses its direction and bends around.

Even so, he barely reached the target – a small mana stone. However, he could not overcome the power of Albenius, which scattered mana stones right in front of him, and withered away.

“Failed again.”

“Damn it, what’s so hard about it?”

“If you handle the power of the universe properly, you can hit it well enough.”

It seemed like a simple training exercise, but it consumed quite a bit of mental strength.

The power of the realm of Albenius, which spreads everywhere, quickly consumed the warrior’s power itself, the power of space changed the direction of the flame, and the power planted in the mana stone offset the warrior’s power.

In order to break through the three obstacles, you need to increase the strength of the hero and the bond of mana. In order to immediately correct the twisted angle with authority, you must always keep your senses sharp, and you must release more mana to withstand the power planted in the mana stone.

It is more efficient to respond to the strength of a hero with the strength of a hero. The power of more warriors must be controlled more firmly and more precisely.

“Still, it’s a lot better than the first time. At first, let alone near the mana stone, you set fire to your butt, and now you go near it, right?”

“I’ll fit that ass someday.”

Kim Woo-jin gritted his teeth and resumed training. After consuming all his strength, the mana heart that ran out, and the spirit king’s essence began to fill up with the power of the god.

“The spirits are beings that are extremely close to nature. Go with the flow and try to strike a balance. If there are many places, they withdraw, and if there are empty places, they fill them. When your Mana Heart runs out, the energy of the Spirit King that pervades your body will naturally fill your Mana Heart.”

Albenius put his hand on Kim Woo-jin’s chest. The power of the universe passed into Kim Woo-jin’s body and began to beat him.

Kim Woo-jin swallowed a groan in terrible pain.

I cried, and vomited blood. His body quickly began to search for the reaper of death, but at that moment, the spirit king’s energy that had been dormant throughout his body began to move.

Spirits are the energy of nature. And it has a strong tendency to live in nature. In order to balance the dying body, the energy of the spirits that flowed out to save them began to resist Albenius’ power.

For a while, Kim Woo-jin lay on his back, panting heavily.

“It’s progressing faster than I thought. Certainly you have talent, and it may be thanks to the power of predation, but there is a reason why you are particularly strong among warriors.”

“Thank you for the compliment.”

“It’s not long. Sooner or later, you will be able to draw out the power of all the spirit kings sleeping in your body.”

“Yes. Thanks.”

“I do know.”

Albenius took out a chair from the subspace and sat down. I made a cup of hot tea.

“Would you like a drink?”

“No coffee? A sweet cafe mocha with plenty of high-quality chocolate.”

“What is it?”

“That’s it.”

Kim Woo-jin closed his eyes. I had no strength in my whole body, and the throbbing feeling just wanted a good night’s sleep.

“By the way. No matter how much I think about it, I don’t understand.”

“what.”

“Who are you chasing?”

“I would have told you not to be curious about my personal affairs.”

“But no matter how much I think about it, I don’t understand. understand.”

Kim Woo-jin raised his upper body halfway.

“Why are you and those you fear only watching the end of this dimension? The continent was driven to the brink of destruction, but why are you still standing still? When the world ends, everyone will die. It’s all over.”

The apocalypse is not simply a war between nations. Even when the war ends, it is not only the dynasty that changes. The dimension itself perishes. Creatures are obliterated.

But why

Kim Woo-jin couldn’t understand.

Some people are not even from this world, but they desperately struggle, and someone, even with this kind of power, stands by.

“I am helping you.”

“It is helpless. Didn’t you originally intend to do that?”

“But you’re telling me, and in return you’ve agreed not to ask any more?”

“I did.”

“I am doing my best. I want you to do your best to keep what you promised.”

“Remember.”

Kim Woo-jin nodded.

* * *

A peace that can be broken at any time.

Temporary peace was reached by Kim Woo-jin, but mankind was not an idiot.

The ever-increasing number of monsters and undead, the increasing frequency of raids, and the expansion of the blackened land.

Thanks to Kim Woo-jin, mankind only got a brief grace period.

Slowly but surely, humanity is moving towards destruction.

And the leaders of the alliance considered the final deadline to be the moment when the evil dragon, Titaniad, completely shook off his injuries.

And the increasing numbers of monsters and undead were proof that Titaniad was recovering.

There was not much time left. For this reason, mankind decided to make a final counterattack rather than sit still and suffer.

This was the reason why the kings of the allied countries, if the king could not step forward, the first heir, and the great nobles who were in charge of the kingdom’s backbone, gathered at the royal capital of the kingdom of Bienderk, which could be called the front line.

“There is no more back. We must go on a general offensive, excluding the minimum number of troops to protect the safety of the people.”

The young king of Bienderk, who had let go of the former king at the hands of the Death Knight, took over as chairman and led the meeting.

This is because the weight class of the Kingdom of Wienderk, which once took over the seat of the Empire, was the greatest, although it was weakened a lot by receiving the most offensives at the head of the alliance.

“I agree with the idea of launching an offensive. But you need to be careful. We only know that the dragon was seriously injured due to the sacrifice of the hero, Haydn, and we do not know its location or what state it is in now.”

However, it is not possible to send a search party recklessly. Outside the realm of the kingdom, most of the land has become a land of death, and monsters and undead are overflowing.

How many people can literally go into a place where they are limbs and come back alive? From the point of view of the coalition, where each person’s strength was precious, they could not afford to endure such a huge loss.

“Fortunately, we can solve that part.”

The Queen of Helkars smiled gracefully.

“Among the warriors newly summoned to our kingdom, there is one with the power to search for demons. With that person’s authority, you should be able to pinpoint the location of the evil dragon.”

“Good luck. To think that such a hero would appear when it was absolutely necessary.”

“It must mean that the gods have not abandoned us yet.”

At the queen’s words, the kings nodded in unison and crossed themselves.

In the past decades following the end of the world, the gods have constantly summoned warriors. Had it not been for their sacrifices and efforts, Glarch would have come to an end long ago.

A dimension that could never have survived had it not been for the protection of the gods. It was only natural for all the humans in Glacc to believe in and follow the pre-vaccine gods.

“When I came here, I brought that warrior with me. Right after coming here, we’ve been searching for the most powerful demon, so time will tell us where the dragon is.”

“You mean you can search all over this wide continent?”

“Is it just power?”

“That too.”

“Thank God.”

Laughter blossomed on the faces of the kings at the slightest hope. However, the meeting to subdue the dragons had just begun.

“Even if you say you’re looking for it, I don’t think you should just send a subjugation party. Do you need to know exactly how many monsters there are and deal with them accordingly?”

“Based on our experience over the past five years, they have a huge offensive once a year. After receiving it, how about sending out the punitive force? Wouldn’t it be a little easier to travel if you reduce the number of monsters as much as possible?”

“All warriors must be included. Otherwise, there is no hope.”

“But if all the warriors are missing, the damage to the kingdoms close to the polluted land will increase.”

“I will have to bear it. If I can’t kill the dragon anyway, everything is over.”

“Even though···!”

There were parts that were agreeable and parts that were not. The kings made compromises and fought with each other raising their voices.

Long before that, the Queen of Helkars asked Kim Woo-jin, who was bruising while occupying a chair in the meeting room.

“Hero Kim Woo-jin. What do you think?”

“···Yes?”

Kim Woo-jin’s eyes found the light.

“···what did you say?”

“You asked how to do it. Is it better to include all the heroes in the subjugation party to increase the chance of success even a little, or is it better to have a minimum number of heroes to minimize the damage to the alliance?”

“Well.”

“Let’s talk comfortably. In the end, aren’t you the one who leads the warriors and thrusts the blade into the dragon’s throat?”

All the kings’ eyes were focused.

“I’m sorry, but we have no alternative other than you.”

The dragon is a monster that could not even kill a high elf who had united with the fire spirit king by burning its life force. The only hope to kill him was Kim Woo-jin, who absorbed the spirit king’s essence with power.

Kim Woo-jin was also aware of that fact and had no intention of rejecting it. Because if you don’t stop anyway, you’ll die.

but.

“Then don’t do both.”

“···what?”

“…what does that mean?”

“Hero Kim Woo-jin?”

Now, in Kim Woo-jin’s head, there was a better plan than the ones the kings were thinking about.

“I will lead only the warriors.”

How not to include even a single soldier and knight.

“Then you won’t have to worry about the defense of the nearby kingdom, right?”

“Heroes are 80 at most. I know they’re strong, but it’s hard to reach the four dragons with them alone!”

“Desperate! I know you are strong, but this is impossible!”

“I am of the same opinion. That is just suicidal!”

“Nope.”

Kim Woo-jin shook his head.

“When the number of soldiers increases, the procession lengthens and slows down. Then, it becomes a target of monsters and undead, and the probability of failure increases. It is correct to go with a small number of elites. There is also the issue of maintaining unity.”

“That’s just as stupid as saying you won’t drink water because you’re afraid of it! Do you know how many monsters you have to deal with? Even if they arrive miraculously, they will kill the four dragons in a tired and exhausted state…”

“You think I don’t know that?”

Kim Woo-jin cut off the kings.

“I fought ahead of anyone in this position. I killed the most monsters and undead, and I was the one who broke the dragon’s fangs. I know their fears better than anyone else.”

It is possible nonetheless. It’s not like a stupid ego.

In the end, the problem is the sword that cuts the dragon. Without it, humanity was pushed helplessly. But now it’s different.

“only. in two months.”

It will change soon.

Albenius did. He said that in the next two months, he would be able to fully capture the essence of the Fire Spirit King.

At that time, no matter how bad the opponent was, it didn’t seem like he would lose.

The kings were at a loss for words at Kim Woo-jin’s confident smile.
