Chapter 342

Chapter 342

Since When?

Sometimes Adela would have the same dream. Of course, the content is very boring.

Snow falls from the sky, and the young self walks endlessly in the white snow field. The dream guy is an exaggeration. You walk on the side of the road and there are no people, and you find a hut, but there is no one in it.

There is no law to raise a voice because there are no people. I was just walking in the terrible cold.

Even if I know it’s a dream, I can’t wake up.

It’s a dream, but the cold is vivid.

Even if her legs hurt, she couldn’t stop, and nothing was going as Adela thought.

Pook Pook –

Little Adela just walked from start to finish, stepping on the snow that was piled up to her ankles.

In the end, young Adela, who couldn’t stand the cold, hugged the teddy bear even harder.

“Adela, what are you looking for?”

The only friend, the teddy bear, touched Adela’s arm. It’s always been a recurring dream, but this was the first time a teddy bear talked to me.

“Are you looking for Mom and Dad? But I can’t find it for the rest of my life.”

Stand tall—

At the words of the teddy bear, little Adela stopped. This was definitely not the content of a dream I had until now.

‘I am...’

The voice that he couldn’t say just lingered in his head, and the only friend, the teddy bear, tilted his head as he looked at young Adela.

“Adela. what are you doing. do you already know Hurry and look over there.”

Perhaps thanks to the teddy bear, Adela returned to her original body and looked where the teddy bear pointed with her blunt hand.

Ruin Castle was a huge fortress that was unknown when it existed.

“what are you doing. Adela, you are no longer a child.”

The teddy bear sighed, looking straight at Ruinseong.

“You haven’t forgotten, have you? Your parents are frozen over there in Ruin Castle.”

The content of the dream has changed. Adela could now move at will. I couldn’t turn back the reality that had already passed, but this is a dream.

Wouldn’t it be possible to save your parents, at least in your dreams?

Adela’s eyes narrowed as she made her decision. Adela accelerated her steps, her expressionless face now replaced by anger and determination.

“Are you going to Ruin Castle?”

Adela nodded at the teddy bear’s words.

“...huh.”

“Aren’t you afraid that there is a witch?”

Not afraid. I didn’t care if anything could change the ending of this terrible dream. But the teddy bear laughed at Adela.

“lie! Adela! Are you cheating on your friend? you already know You can’t beat a witch, are you just a frightened kid?”

Before Adela had time to deny the teddy bear’s words, her body felt as heavy as wet cotton.

“I can win....”

Adela struggled to speak out, and the teddy bear, with an expression that was too rich for the subject of the doll, said, “Really?” he asked.

“good. Then I will call you.”

With the teddy bear’s answer, the gate to Ruin Castle opened with a squeaking sound. Louise, pale skinned and wearing a pure white dress, approached Adela very slowly as if she had been waiting.

“Louis...”

Why, if all of this is a dream, shouldn’t the story flow the way I want? Why can’t I even move my own body?

Adela had no answer.

Shin Yoo-seong’s judgment was an act for himself, but now Adela’s head was too complicated.

“But I thought that the decision was right for you to make.”

Adela felt her heart beat fast as the memories of the nightmare overlapped. It was an obvious fear. Adela was afraid of Louis now. The memories of Volterra, which had already passed, had come up again.

“I...”

Maybe the content of the dream is one’s own thoughts. No matter how much time has passed, the mind may not have grown at all from the 5-year-old self.

Maybe today’s dream was whispered by one’s inner self. You can never overcome it alone.

“...I hate to admit it. I am afraid.”

No matter how hard she tried to deny it, the memory of Volterra taking away her parents was Adela’s obvious trauma.

Still, why did Adela in her dream not stop walking?

“But I don’t want to stop either. Now... I want to get rid of that memory. That way...”

Wouldn’t she be a great mother to Velvet as well? Adela didn’t want to be a cowardly mother who couldn’t even face her past properly.

“You have grown enough. You are no longer the 5-year-old you.”

How many worries have you had?

Shin Yoo-seong, who knows how hard Adela must have endured, hugged Adela tightly and shared her warmth with her cold body.

“And this time I’m with you.”

If you are alone, even in the cold and cold winter, you can endure enough if you share each other’s warmth. The party had meaning in doing things together that could not be done alone.

Venice, Italy.

A man on a boat rowed hard in a beautiful underwater city.

“Fortunately, the. Many of the Tier 6 attackers accepted the request for assistance. But are you okay? There are a lot of students...”

Roger, a 7th-level hunter, shook his head while wearing sunglasses at Hunter’s words.

“This generation is a different story. King Kwon’s disciple, Shin Yoo-seong. Adela, the granddaughter of the legendary hunter Aden. And even the witch’s successor, Oracle Lorelai. Aren’t those names too precious to be dismissed as just students?”

Yuseong Shin and Adela dealt with the 6th grade on the 20th floor, and Lorelai, the oracle, also showed great prominence and dealt with the 6th grade boss.

Seeing that they have shown such great performance since they were just students, even the word “cheongchuleoram” was not enough to describe this generation.

“Ah, of course, whoever’s apprentice would become a legendary villain...”

“Rebellion guys... If Roger-sama was still alive, he would have managed this attack himself...” “

That dagger that Nameless prepared. Even in this big city, people’s mana can’t be felt. You will have to suffer for at least a year.”

Roger’s aftereffects from Nameless have not yet recovered. Italy, which still lacks manpower, overlapped the absence of a 7th-level hunter and eventually requested support from other countries like this time.

In addition, with the resurrection of Volterra’s nightmare, Louise the Witch of Winter, Italy suffered a series of worst bad news.

Nevertheless, Roger spoke leisurely, as if his positive mind was not going anywhere.

“Still~ I think it’s good~ Shouldn’t the youngsters be strong enough to take responsibility for this tough future?”

Because the number of 6th and 7th grade hunters around the world was so low, it was inevitable to lend a hand to other countries.

“But...”

But, as expected, the subordinate hunter seemed uncomfortable with leaving everything to the students.

“Because don’t worry. I’ve seen it myself and it’s quite believable. You are the disciple of legends. And... Louis has just gotten out of the sealing stone. You will never be able to use the power of your prime.”

Like Roger said, Louis could break the sealing stone, but he didn’t have time to recover his strength. And there was no way that the Hunters who knew Lewis’ abilities would repeat Volterra’s mistakes once again.

“I’ve already evacuated all the citizens living in Volterra.”

Louis, who absorbs people’s mental power and mana to increase his strength, was cut off from the source of mana recovery.

“His attack is over. It is no longer the age of witches.”
