Chapter 216

After being defeated in

Chapter 216 National Competition.

Isshin spent more time immersed in contemplation alone. Of course, those moments of contemplation gave Isshin some realizations. The fact that his ability, which he prided himself on as the strongest in Choten, was nothing more than a frog in a well.

[Suddenly!]

It was the fact that at least the moment he swung his sword, he could escape from his thoughts. Thanks to this, Isshin was able to concentrate on training more than ever.

First, I cut off what was in front of me.

After that, your own contemplation.

I cut the past that I want to turn back now.

That day Isshin cut off everything that existed in his heart. I stood in front of a large rock.

[Sure. Take-!]

Isshin, who took the stance of sword art, put his hand on the scabbard, and soon a ray of light flashed.

Truly, the union of the body and sword.

The moment a rock cut in half with a horizontal crack fell to the ground. Isshin put the sword in the scabbard. It is to gain enlightenment and move one step further. but.

‘I thought I could cut through anything...’

Just one day after he realized, Isshin’s face had turned pale.

“Kwuuu!”

A giant rabbit that jumped down a huge rocky mountain at breakneck speed.

“Kyumkyum!”

And the heavy front paws like the mace that the rabbit wielded.

Fuck!

“Keuuuugh-!”

Isshin, who was only a few meters away in one shot, hurriedly took up his stance and swung his sword.

Fluffy!

However, Kanina’s fluffy fur quickly absorbed the shock.

“Ha ha ha ha ha! No, would a toothpick-like sword like that work?! You followed me well before! Are you running away now? Shall I give you a buff?”

Seeing Isshin like that, Aakman excitedly provoked him, and Elan looked down at Isshin in pity.

“Swordsman. Kanina is the owner of the mountain. It is impossible to escape Kanina from here.”

jump!

Rabbit-like tremendous jumping power.

Fuck!

Extremely agile paws and a heavy impact unsuitable for them. It was the first time for Isshin, who had dealt with numerous bosses, that this was the case.

‘...what happened? I can’t even see those huge front paws.’

[The barrier has been destroyed.]

[32% of the remaining barrier]

Suk- Isshin hesitated as he wiped the bleeding nose.

‘Using such a powerful summoning technique... obviously has limitations comparable to that.’

Fuck! bang-!

Kanina swung her paw again, but this time Isshin’s sword blocked her paw. When the dust splattered by the shock cleared away, Isshin’s figure was enveloped in red light.

“You can’t keep an excessive summoning skill for a long time. In the end, all you have to do is persevere!”

As Isshin shouted loudly as he gripped the sword, the sword became even redder. It uses the S-class attribute, demonic energy.

“Excessive summoning?”

However, Aakman clinging to Kanina’s head smiled as if mocking Isshin.

“Well, that’s what it used to be. As a spirit type, Kanina’s strength is the highest among the 5th grade bosses. It’s a spirit that I wouldn’t be able to summon normally.”

It was a relaxed line, but Aakman’s figure lying flat on Kanina’s head was not cool.

Quaang! thump thump-!

Kanina changed her stance to walking on two legs and poured out a series of attacks like mad.

“Kyum-kyum-kywa! Kwywww-!”

Isshin managed to block the attack by swinging his sword, but the master of the mountain’s series of attacks were devastating.

“Keuhuk kuh-!”

Crucially, Isshin and Kanina didn’t get along well. Although it is an S-class attribute, the demon becomes stronger the more it kills or cuts down opponents. Kanina’s fluffy fur had too much defense.

It blocked Isshin from becoming stronger with the power of the demon.

But even so, Isshin persevered and persevered.

and Elan, an island party, had no choice but to have a good team play as well as their compatibility.

‘The priest’s holy ability suppresses Sumire’s undead. I’m going to strengthen the Elementalist’s summons.’

In order to bridge the gap, Sumire needed a strategy that would overcome the odds or overwhelming power. For normal students, it’s close to impossible.

‘Sumire has both possibilities.’

However, Shin Yuseong trusted Sumire. Even now, Sumire did not come out of the swamp and built her own kingdom, thinking that it was a strategy with the highest winning rate excluding luck.

Now, all that Sumire had to prove was its usefulness.

‘If there is a variable, when will Sumire and the Irish team collide?’

Seeing that Siu Lee and Sakura hadn’t met the German team yet, the aspect of the battle was a long one. So far, it seems to be going in favor of the necromancer Sumire.

“Hmm....”

The moment Shin Yoo-seong is thinking about as the party leader. Someone knocked cautiously.

smart.

Among the party members, Sumire and Lee Si-woo had already participated in the match, and Kim Eun-ah would not have knocked.

“May I come in?”

The voice of an unfamiliar man.

“yes. Come on in.”

When Yuseong Shin’s permission was granted, the man outside opened the door.

“It’s been a while. Yoosung.”

The man called Shin Yoo-seong accustomed to it as if it was a long-standing relationship.

“You...”

Shin Yoo-seong’s expression hardened after seeing the opponent’s face. Even though the last meeting was over 10 years ago, is it because of blood ties?

Shin Yoo-seong could tell who the opponent was just by looking at his face.

“I’m sorry for coming in like this. Still... it’s such a good opportunity to talk. Are you too busy?”

The man’s name is June.

At the age of 27, he was a skilled player who became a 6th grade hunter. However, Shin Yoo-seong knew Yu-wol’s name for no other reason.

“Is it your mother’s request that you want to talk to me?”

Yuwol was from the Yusu family, which possessed power comparable to that of the Shino family. The Yusu family was from Yoo Min-seo, a 7th-class hunter who was the mother of Shin Yoo-seong. To Shin Yoo-seong, Yu-wol was an unforgettable relative.

“Um... if you say so. Will I be hated too?”

Yu-wol smiled awkwardly with a troubled expression.

“About half right. Hayoon told you about it, but the family wants you back. Minseo’s sister too. Even Shin Kang-yoon, the head of the household.”

Yoo-wol carefully examined Shin Yoo-seong’s expression and added a playful remark.

“I’m just talking to you. They’re so shameless, aren’t they?”

And a soft, familiar smile. Shin Yoo-seong felt a strange sense of difference in Yoo-wol’s benevolent expression.

“Then... the other half?”

“I wanted to meet you. I haven’t done any research. Aren’t there rumors about you in the world? For example...”

Yu-Wol seemed to be searching for memories while still smiling.

“Oh yeah! Didn’t you catch the troublesome member of Rebellion too? It’s a great performance.”

Then, with a short exclamation, Yu-wol continued talking naturally as if a memory had come to mind.

A sense of heterogeneity hidden in nature.

Sharpness hidden in softness.

Shin Yoo-seong came to that conclusion after a brief conversation with Yu-wol.

‘...This person is dangerous.’

It’s just a sense now, but Shin Yoo-seong’s intuition was never wrong in this part. This isn’t a sense of reluctance that comes from Yu-wol’s birthplace, but an intuition close to instinct.

“Is that really all?”

When Shin Yuseong asked in a cold tone.

Yoo-wol smiled as if he had read Shin Yoo-seong’s mood.

“...you don’t have to be so vigilant. Because I just wanted to ask.”

Pass –

Yuwol lit a flame of mana on his index finger. The mana that started out as blue turned to white and was burning with pitch-black mana.

Pasut!

Soon after, the intense fire burned out, and Trump’s Joker card was sandwiched between his fingers.

“...Do you know what Shin Ha-yoon is up to?”

Even though Yu-wol said such a shocking thing, he smiled as if nothing had happened.
