Chapter 255

Chapter 255

9 years old.

In the depths of the caves of Mt. Musin, Shin Yoo-seong, who was young, had a fight with a slime.

No matter how hard I punched it, it was difficult to damage the slime that was soggy and sticky.

‘In this case, he’s just such an opponent.’

Right now, Dian’s body was bubbling with black liquid.

Greuk-Greuk-

The black mana that bloomed like a cloud was flowing on the floor like filth, contaminating the ground.

Chiiik- Shin

Yooseong raised his head as he watched the plants that touched the filth disappear without form as if they were dissolved in hydrochloric acid.

‘It’s clear what the weakness is.’

Obviously, Dian’s weak point must be his defenseless body that soared into the sky spewing out filth.

Possibly because of overloading his abilities, the appearance of blue and red veins all over his body was hideous.

But that was the earnest power that Dian pulled out to defeat Shin Yuseong. Even if he looked like this, Dian had no choice.

“...I never thought I’d be entrusted with this ability again. It’s a really terrible feeling at any time.”

Dian looked down at Shin Yooseong with eyes that had a lot of white eyes like fish.

“I envy your stubbornness. How do you see me now?”

filth flowing from the body.

A curse spell that swallows the entire forest. Dian’s appearance could not even be called a human form.

How should I answer that question now?

Shin Yuseong looked up at Dian quietly.

“What do you want to hear?”

Shin Yoo-seong looked so small in front of Dian, who had swollen up like a giant filth monster.

However, Dian did not rush to approach Shin Yooseong. I knew that size doesn’t matter in a Hunter’s battle.

“...a literal question. Do I look like a terrible monster? Or do you look like a hunter who saves humanity?”

Shin Yuseong closed his eyes at Dian’s question. As the bright vision became darker, there was a new vision that emerged more clearly.

Red. Orange. yellow. and green.

All things of nature and the life of the forest.

In Shin Yuseong’s field of vision, their mana was rising like colorful fireflies, revealing their presence and fluctuating. And, of course, Dian was also among those lives.

The cold blue color that rises from the terrible filth is cold enough to make the whole body feel cold.

“Well...”

Shin Yooseong knew the meaning of that color.

very young.

The time when he was abandoned by the Shin-O family.

‘Even though I couldn’t look at this scene at that time...’

Shin Yoo-seong, who closed his eyes, swept the air with his fingertips. When the blue fireflies touched my fingertips, I felt them terribly cold, and the vague sensation cut my heart sharply.

“I don’t know. I can only tell you that you look like me.”

Dian’s blue color.

It was the same color of loneliness as Yoosung Shin in his childhood. It was just that Dian accepted the spell, just as Shin Yuseong chose and followed Kwon.

Although the process and results were different.

The reason for setting out on the road was the same, and the destination was the same.

“...okay? That’s the strangest answer I’ve ever heard.”

Chow ah-!

Dian’s filth turned into tentacles and attacked Shin Yoo-seong. The filth made of mana was an acidic solution that melted the body just by touching it, but Shin Yuseong stretched out his index finger without hesitation.

Then, as if he had found something, he took a dot.

Tok-

I felt the cold on my index finger that touched the dirt. For Shin Yoo-seong, who realized the many properties of mana, including resonance, there were quite a few advantages to finding out what kind of nature the opponent’s mana had.

‘For example like this...’

Changryong Ascension Wave

!

The waves created by Shin Yoo-seong sublimated the filth, a lump of mana, into its own power and eroded it in an instant.

Truly overwhelming power.

Dian barely landed on the floor as the filth that made up his body was scattered in the air.

“...is that the problem?”

Dian’s eyes, which had only the whites of the eyes flashing like fish, returned to normal.

Chow-!

Dian turned his arm into pitch-black flames and attacked, but Shin Yoo-seong murmured slowly as he waited for the attack.

“okay.”

To Dian who gave up everything to become stronger. Shin Yoo-seong’s words that he couldn’t become stronger because he had abandoned everything were like despair.

“Are you going to deceive me until the end?! I gave up everything to become stronger. But... that’s why you can’t become stronger?”

Dian screamed and swung jet-black flames.

Wedge-!

Like Dian’s wrath, the jet-black flames that lasted endlessly became a whip and tried to burn the entire forest.

However, Shin Yoo-seong, not being pushed by the momentum, still answered calmly.

“Those who have abandoned everything cannot become stronger.”

Shin Yoosung lowered his head.

Wedge-! bang!

The longer flame swept through the forest, knocking down several trees, but Shin Yoo-seong passed the whip.

Blame-

A fiery heart in battle was not good. An excited heart made the action louder.

It is too easy for Shin Yoo-seong to approach such an opponent who is full of gaps.

“Because there is no reason to be strong.”

With those words, like a death sentence that summarized all the stories, Shin Yoo-seong stretched out his palm.

The palm of Shin Yoo-seong, who

got closer to himself. Dian’s vision faded as he watched the swirling mana at the end.

Beep-

beep- only the frantic mechanical sound was heard, not even the clamor of the aftermath of the storm.

A person who has abandoned everything cannot become strong. To Diane, it was just a riddle.

From the moment Dian received the magic formula, there were words that he had been tired of hearing.

[Have you really decided? The moment you decide to accept this spell, you must sacrifice your life.]

Yes.

[You are not Dian. It will become another torch that has decided to inherit the magic formula. Can you really handle that weight?]

To carry this weight.

to give up everything

As much as I threw away those precious things.

That’s how Dian learned that the lighter the weight, the stronger the empty seat will be filled.

‘...I’m wrong?’

I don’t know myself.

What does the opponent know?

Kwaaaang-!

However, no matter how much he pondered, Dian couldn’t come up with an answer. Like Shin Yoo-seong said, it might have just been that he threw away too much.

‘okay.’

To the extent that you don’t even know what precious things you threw away.

[Blinn Academy]

[Dian dropped out]

Too much.
