#41. To the magical world view!
“Ha!”
The sound of powerful cheers echoed through the empty performance hall.
In the center of the training hall, Baek Gu-reum, wearing a black military uniform, was performing martial arts moves combining punches and kicks.
Damdeok, who was standing right next to him, was occasionally coaching Baekgureum by adjusting his posture.
“good. Until there. “Now you’re pretty good at following along, right?”
Damdeok said while holding out a bottle of water to Baekgureum, who was sweating profusely.
“haha. Is that true?”
Baekgureum, who was out of breath, raised the corners of his mouth.
“okay. “Why would I lie?”
Damdeok spoke casually, but he was actually surprised on the inside.
‘Why are there such monsters?’
It wasn’t a lie when he said he would teach Baek Gureum martial arts.
As promised, Damdeok was teaching martial arts at this practice hall for the next few days.
That’s pretty detailed too.
From movements that modified the basic martial arts of hunters, to movements made by mixing the movements of dwarves, to martial arts that embody the deep-rooted traditions of the Dragon Palace members.
The results were surprising.
‘After all, a genius is a genius. ‘It’s so fast to learn!’
Of course, he could not be compared to himself, who had SS-level swordsmanship and martial arts talent at the same time, but Baek Gu-reum was definitely digesting martial arts moves quickly.
‘I can easily imitate martial arts with just one swordsmanship talent.’
Perhaps because Baekgureum had already reached a certain level with the sword, his understanding of how to use his body was clearly different.
‘At this speed… .’
You may be immature, but you may soon be able to imitate the Dwarven Hammer Punch.
Damdeok pushed Baekgureum’s back as he was catching his breath.
“Now, let’s continue to connect what we have learned so far from beginning to end and call it a day.”
“Wow, you teach really hard.”
“… “Did you speak informally just now?”
“Oh, no, brother.”
“start.”
“yep!”
Baekgureum is sweating and moving forward.
The smile of satisfaction I couldn’t erase the whole time I was looking at that guy.
Why?
That guy will become stronger… .
[Tiring!]
[Your priest has acquired the
[Your combat power increases slightly!]
Because it meant I was getting stronger.
“Kkeuk, good.”
It wasn’t that difficult to make him a priest.
The first condition, reverence, had already been met, and the second condition, explaining duties and rights to the priest, was taken care of by the system.
‘Of course, when the story about sacrificing one’s life for God and such came out, Baekgureum’s expression got very sour.’
This is because the content explained by the system is full of bizarre clauses that say a priest must respond to God’s call at any time, cannot leave without God’s permission, and must not neglect training at all times to be of help to God.
‘I thought I had nothing to say even if I pulled out my sword right away with that damn personality.’
These were stories that even I, who was listening to, found absurd.
But oddly enough, Baekgureum kept his mouth shut and listened to the explanation until the end, then nodded his head calmly.
‘It was really unexpected.’
Honestly, it’s still a mystery.
Still, thanks to that, the priest oath ceremony (?) ended without incident, or rather, a little in vain.
‘Now you can use the power of God’s Call at any time.’
Power ‘God’s Call.’
This power was unlocked when the spiritual power reached 50,000, but it was always in a black and white state and was inactive.
It was activated at the same time Baekgureum was registered as a priest.
In other words, there was now one more soldier who could be summoned to fight at any time.
‘56 Deadly Hounds, 12 Sun Wolves, 1 Cerberus and a world-class swordsman genius… .’
Isn’t this a power that makes you feel proud just by reciting it? All of this was my own army that I could summon at any time as long as I had enough spiritual strength.
‘Good.’ Just keep it like this… .’
It was because of the effect of this power that White Cloud becoming stronger meant I also became stronger.
In any case, the priest must be loyal to me, the god, and I can command such a priest at any time.
Therefore, Damdeok had decided to raise Baekgureum into the most elite soldier.
“Ah, I’m not doing it like that there, but look, it’s not with the elbow, it’s like this, gently with the outer edge of the arm! uh?”
“… “Isn’t it similar?”
“It’s different, man. again.”
Baekgureum pouted at Damdeok’s firm instructions, but he didn’t just dislike it.
‘I will definitely become stronger!’
Baekgureum gritted his teeth and proceeded with the movement, and the corners of Damdeok’s mouth, who was watching, slowly turned up.
* * *
Inside the Sangun Guild dormitory,
Ju Soo-yul was leaning against the wall with his arms crossed.
Damdeok and Baekgureum, standing in the middle of the room, looked at her with dumbfounded expressions.
“Why on earth? There are always skill runes in the dungeon that you have access to this time. “It’s official intelligence from our side, so it’s solid information.”
“Dungeons aren’t much help. “We’re going to the gate.”
“No, why on earth?”
Baekgureum asked back as if he was frustrated.
Ju Ju-yul was leaning against the wall and saying nothing.
Damdeok quickly put on his hood and answered.
“I told you everything last time. Do you want to tell me the same thing again?”
“Which one? War of the Gods? No, it’s good to stop the war between the gods. So even more! We have to go through the dungeon! “There is a skill rune right in front of me. Isn’t it right to eat at least one of them to increase your skills?”
Damdeok frowned.
Because I had no idea where to start explaining.
Of course, if we go by the rules, what Baek Gureum said is correct.
It’s true that we need to become stronger to prevent the war of the gods, and there’s nothing like skill runes to help us get stronger quickly.
but… .
‘That’s a common story.’
Preventing a war between the gods is not something that can be done by each individual becoming stronger.
Of course, everyone will have to become stronger in the future, and I will have to become the strongest among them… In any case, it is better to recruit the 12 guardians who will fight as my limbs rather than the skill runes right in front of me.
I was about to explain, but Ju Soo-yul, who had been quiet, spoke first.
“Do as Yu Dam-deok says. “Even if I try a few skill runes now, it won’t help at all.”
“yes?”
Baekgureum asked back foolishly.
The face said, “What kind of idiot is that?”
I haven’t explained everything to this guy yet.
It was told that a war between the gods would occur in the near future, which would devastate the Earth, and that the key people who would prevent that war were 12 people scattered across each dimension, but the remaining details were not yet explained.
So, such a reaction would be natural.
“What on earth do you mean? Skill Runes are rare items that cost more than 10 billion won each at market value… .”
“Even if you eat a hundred of those skill runes, you can’t stop the war of the gods. “There’s only one thing we have to do now.”
Damdeok added, stuffing a few portable potions into his pocket.
“Go to the gate, estimate when the war of gods will occur, and find and gather other guardians. okay? “That’s all we have to do.”
With those words, Damdeok took the lead and left the room.
Ju Soo-yul followed behind and tapped Baek Gu-reum on the shoulder.
“let’s go. “A priest must follow God’s will.”
* * *
– Kieeek!
The huge Lizardman stepped back, clutching his severed arm. Damdeok did not miss the opportunity and pushed the guy harshly.
Burbubbuk! Squeak! Quack!!
As I roughly blew away the guy’s body with the last hammer punch, a white cloud appeared from behind and pierced the guy’s neck.
Phew!
With blood pouring out like a fountain, Joo Joo-yul calmly walked over and began extracting the core from near the guy’s heart.
Inside the cave, Jooyul with a dagger drawn and White Cloud with a black sword hanging down. Damdeok looked at the two in turn and smiled.
“Hey, don’t you think we have some good combination play?”
“… Tsk, what is a combination play?”
Baekgureum muttered in a low voice. With a brusque expression, I brushed aside her sword horizontally, and voila! Blood splattered on the cave wall.
Baek Gureum was very unhappy with the current situation.
‘Damn, if I went to Sindorim Dungeon at this time, all the skill runes would be mine.’
According to intelligence, at least 2 and as many as 4 skill runes could be found. But now that I have abandoned those treasures and am doing this inside this desolate gate… .
Baekgureum felt sick to his stomach.
Skill runes were a valuable resource for hunters, or rather, they were a better weapon, shield, and companion than anything else.
But I threw away that precious thing and am here hunting weak lizardmen… .
As someone who aspired to be stronger than anyone else, it was natural for him to feel frustrated.
‘I was thinking of running away secretly earlier… .’
It was a futile effort.
Because I was instantly summoned inside the gate by Damdeok’s ‘God’s Call’ power.
When I was summoned, it felt like the ground was suddenly disappearing. I was prepared, but it felt like shit.
‘But you just have to be patient.’
Baek Cloud, he also had thoughts.
After completely making Damdeok’s martial arts his own, he planned to follow Damdeok thoroughly.
‘Hehe, when that time comes, I will make you a priest!’
Make him a priest and order him to do this and that!
He never forgot for a moment the humiliation of defeat that day. I would even sell my soul to repay you.
War of the Gods? It’s none of my business to know when it will come or whether it will really come or not.
‘That’s why I’m willing to play priest for a little while!’
When I thought of Damdeok, who would be praying with a tearful face on the day when he would become the best, I couldn’t help but laugh.
“···Why are you doing this guy? “Do you know what happened?”
Damdeok looked at the fluttering white clouds and twirled his head with his finger.
Jooyul paused for a moment and then said, putting the extracted core in his pocket.
“… Leave it alone. “You must be excited when you first enter the gate.”
“No!!”
The angry white cloud growled.
Damdeok and Jooyul shrugged their shoulders and started recording today’s harvest.
“77 poor Lizardmen, 15 mid-level Lizardmen, and 2 twin Lizardmen who appeared as bosses… .”
“Hmm, anyway, there aren’t that many strong guys at the gate in our country yet.”
“okay. Not yet. “Not yet.”
“It must be a long way before someone like Neptune appears, right?”
Baekgureum was watching the conversation between the two with a pouty look on his face.
“Neptune? “What is Neptune again?”
“One of the forgotten gods, you probably won’t be able to deal with even Neptune’s little finger.”
When Damdeok giggled and said that, Baekgureum’s face turned red.
“What nonsense… !! “As long as I perfect the martial arts, it will be everything, whether it’s the War of the Gods or anything!!”
“You perfect martial arts? “Even though I have SS-level martial arts talent, I’m still not perfect, right?”
This is absurd.
As Damdeok was teasing himself, Baekgureum bit his lower lip and glared at him.
‘Tch, you’ll soon find out why a genius is called a genius.’
Damdeok opened his eyes round and pointed behind him.
“Hey, back.”
– Kiek!
“Ahh! It’s a surprise!”
At the sudden appearance of the Lizardman, White Cloud swung his sword as if starting a match.
Kwakwakwakwa!
The sword power that spreads out in an instant was a technique that Damdeok also enjoyed using in the past.
‘Oh, if you do that, you can activate it even faster.’
Every time White Cloud’s sword was swung, Damdeok’s eyes shone together.
Baek Gureum had been taught by the world’s best swordsmanship instructors since he was young, and his swordsmanship was a culmination of the high-level swordsmanship of many, not just one.
“I killed the boss, but there are so many scum!!”
Anyway, the gate is a very inefficient place compared to the dungeon!
White clouds are big! With a fever, he slaughtered the remaining Lizardmen with ease.
Damdeok was capturing each and every movement of Baekgureum with serious eyes.
‘When making a horizontal cut, use more of a snap on the wrist… When charging and stabbing, turn your shoulder angle a little more… .’
yet,
“Haha, haha. “Why am I the only one fighting!!”
White clouds boom! He holds his sword like a cane and glares at Ju So-yul and Dam-deok.
Soo-yul thought for a moment and applauded briefly, and Dam-deok gave a thumbs-up and turned his head.
“Then who can say something like that?”
“what?!”
“… “Say it informally one more time.”
“profit… !”
Baekgureum tried to suppress his rising anger.
okay. It’s not time yet.
Until it eats the author’s martial arts to the core and tramples it thoroughly… !
Let’s be patient. Hold on.
Baekgureum suddenly turned around.
“Tch, if the gate investigation or something is over, let’s leave quickly!”
If you go now, you might be able to get at least one skill rune.
Even if that wasn’t the case, he had been training for several days.
‘Today, I’ll eat some chicken and get a good rest.’
My body was very tired.
But for some reason, Damdeok didn’t move.
The address that was standing next to me was also the same.
“… what are you doing? I’m not going?”
Baekgureum looked back and asked.
Damdeok was fiddling with something while looking into space.
“Where are you going? “It’s just the beginning.”
“yes?”
“I literally only heard the gate briefly. “Our real destination today is different.”
“What is that… I didn’t hear anything… ?!”
Once again, a beggar-like feeling enveloped White Cloud’s body along with the feeling that his feet were falling apart.
‘Yudam -deok, this X baby… !’
Baekgureum stretched out his hand and tried to catch Damdeok, but was quickly sucked into the dimension.
Damdeok was smiling as he looked at the window that appeared in front of him.
[The god’s name value ‘2300 Yudamdeok’ is consumed to start moving to another dimension.]
[Dimension BC135 area, now moving to the ‘Magic World View’!]
