Chapter 353
As beautiful golden waves waved from Shin Yu-seong’s hands, the broken bones reattached and the torn skin quickly began to recover to its previous form.
– I end up lending my power to a human rather than a contractor… … It’s all for Lorelai.
The woman’s voice in Shin Yu-seong’s ears right now is that of Chronoa, the goddess of time who made a contract with Lorelei.
‘It not only restores the wounds but also the lost physical strength.’
Since Chronoa, the goddess of time, was helping Shin Yu-seong, if the battle was a long one, time would be on Shin Yu-seong’s side.
‘Even with Lorelai’s help… … Originally, Master was an opponent he could never defeat… … .’
In this case, there was quite a bit of hope. No matter how similar it may seem to Yu Won-hak, the limitation of the alter ego is that it embodies the teacher that Shin Yu-seong remembers.
Shin Yu-seong was truly grateful that he had never seen his teacher’s full strength.
To put it another way, the attacks used by Yu Won-hak were all techniques that Shin Yu-seong had seen before.
Coo!
Yu Won-hak kicked the ground. The soil, unable to withstand the force, bounced back and a depression was formed in the ground in the shape of a foot. Yoo Won-hak took his feet off the dirt and boom! A loud noise is heard.
Shin Yu-seong thought as he watched Yu Won-hak suddenly appear before his eyes and extend his fist with rotational power.
‘It’s definitely a move I’ve seen before.’
Although it seems like a similar movement to other fist strikes in that it throws a fist, Shin Yu-seong did not waver.
Even if he is an alter ego, he is still his teacher. Right now, Yu Won-hak’s posture and even his breathing were all the same as that day.
[It is not easy for a martial artist who has dedicated his or her entire life to training. Yoosung, your fists already have no thoughts. This is truly a great thing.]
Now, in Shin Yu-seong’s eyes, the image of the teacher who taught him a long time ago overlapped with his alter ego.
[Look carefully!]
Wedge!
Yu Won-hak’s rapidly rushing fist did not contain any worries or thoughts like his previous teachings.
[If you dare to put your anguish and worries into your fist, the opponent will not be a match. It is natural that a sword filled with hesitation cannot cut anything.]
Shin Yu-seong erased all thoughts from his mind like his teacher taught him. I just went with the flow and faced the onslaught of fists.
‘see.’
A straight line that seemed to be connected by a red thread was like a sharp spear.
[It is not the trees that survive the storm until the end. Rather, the more it holds on, boasting of its firmly extended roots, the sooner it will collapse.]
Shin Yu-seong recalled his teacher’s teachings. If you put up a shield in front of you to withstand it, it will break and be destroyed, but if you twist the axis of power and let it flow at an angle, it would be a different story.
[The ones who endure until the end, even in the fiercest storm, are like reeds that rely on the wind.]
Shin Yu-seong’s hand met Yu Won-hak’s fist. It was clear that the heavy force directed in a straight line would break Shin Yu-seong’s arm if he made even the slightest mistake.
However, Shin Yu-seong just let that power flow away by covering it with his palm.
It was an attack from a heavenly teacher, but Shin Yu-seong was able to let it go because of the teacher’s appearance and teachings that he had seen before.
Coo!
Shin Yu-seong took a deep breath as the heavy power that had nowhere to go flowed to the ground. The one fighting with herself right before her eyes is Shin Yoo-seong, a being whose inner self is made of fear. It was created out of fear that it could never win against Yu Won-hak.
‘I was thinking something stupid. What I’m dealing with is Lewis’s technique, not my master’s.’
It was an infinitely strong opponent in battle, but in the end, its essence was just a technique.
– You finally realized it.
Perhaps thanks to reaching the truth, Shin Yuseong heard Chronoa’s relieved voice.
– Trust your choice. Lorelai and I will buy time.
Woe!
A golden landscape spreads in a world where time seems to have stopped. Gold encroached on the surroundings, driving out the colorless colors that had lost their shine.
Damn-!
The sound of a giant grandfather clock.
Tick! Tick! Tick!
Countless sounds of the second hand.
“This is my last remaining strength… … . Then please… … .”
Lorelai was desperately clutching something, as if even maintaining the current status quo was difficult, and her other arm was hanging limply.
Saaa-
Shin Yu-seong gave mana to his eyes.
The world Shin Yu-seong sees now is the blue light of natural objects and the red light emitted by Lewis’s technique. And Lorelai’s golden colors were mixed together.
What Shin Yu-seong was doing now was to separate that red thread from reality and cut off the magic technique.
‘To cancel a spell using Mana Resonance, the same wavelength and the same mana are required.’
Shin Yu-seong stretched out his hand toward Yu Won-hak’s body in a slow world. It was like a precise surgery.
‘I cut down the mana to reorganize the spell as I like… … ‘Blow in at the same time.’
Shin Yooseong should not have wasted a single gesture during the long and short time Lorelai gave him.
Originally, the two manas had different properties and had to be separated like water and oil. However, as time slowed down, Shin Yu-seong’s blue mana quickly seeped into the red mana surrounding Yu Won-hak’s body.
This is clear evidence that Shin Yuseong sent mana at the same wavelength as Lewis’s technique.
Shin Yu-seong was a student who learned everything about Yu Won-hak, but the current technique using mana resonance was a method that even his teacher, Yu Won-hak, did not know.
This was something that broke the common sense of hunters. It was a method unique to Shin Yu-seong, who awakened his extra senses by strengthening his characteristic concentration.
Hundreds of millions!
Shin Yu-seong cut the red line out of the tangled thread. She felt her own hands digging into the thick muscles of Boone’s body.
“It’s all thanks to your teachings. “Master.”
After Shin Yu-seong’s thanks, the slow time began to come back to its proper place.
The final moment that decided the winner.
“… … “You’ve grown quite a bit.”
Yu Won-hak, who was obviously nothing more than an alter ego, smiled as he looked at Shin Yu-seong. Shin Yu-seong smiled because he really looked like his teacher.
“It’s all thanks to you.”
The ritual was broken.
Blood-red mana leaked from Yu Won-hak’s body. The mana that was ascending as if evaporating suddenly turned into red carnation petals and fluttered away.

Now, the only people left in the forest are Lorelai and Shin Yooseong.
Ugh-!
Perhaps because the spell was broken, the ground in the forest split apart with a loud noise.
“… … You really, really did it.”
Perhaps it was because she had just poured out all her mana through the barrier and time stop, but Lorelai grinned helplessly, as if she couldn’t even hold herself together.
“Lorelai, you and Chronoa’s help. And it wouldn’t have been possible without Master’s teachings.”
Shin Yu-seong expressed his gratitude to Lorelai. And that wasn’t humility, it was fact.
No matter how much of a clone he was, without Lorelai’s help, it would have been impossible to successfully use Mana Resonance against Yuwonhak, who boasted incredible speed.
Weeing!
A portal was created in front of the two.
Leaving the collapsing forest behind, Shin Yu-seong and Lorelai slowly walked toward the exit.
* * *
Lorelai felt dizzy.
The place we arrived after passing through the portal was none other than the entrance to Ruin Castle, which we had been searching for so long.
Jump!
The white rabbit, who appeared to be a guide, bowed his head very politely towards Shin Yu-seong and Lorelai.
“Congratulations on coming to Ruin Castle. But passing the test and destroying the spell… … “There is only the path of the stars.”
Sixth-level hunters Shoichi and Eliza attempted the path of the stars, and Adela and Angela chose the path of the sun. Lorelai looked around at the shocking story that everything had failed.
However, it was impossible to find a companion among the ice statues scattered around the entrance.
“Haha, are you really looking for a colleague?”
The guide giggled as if it was funny to see Lorelai like that and pointed to an ice corridor with a red carpet.
“Don’t worry. It is true that my colleagues froze, but Louis is a merciful person. “You wouldn’t put a brave challenger in a place like this.”
The guide began to lead the way, pretending to tell Lorelei and Shin Yusung to follow.
“Come quickly. “Luis is waiting for you.”
Shin Yu-seong and Lorelai followed the rabbit without hesitation, wondering if there might be a trap, but there were no traps in the hallway.
“For your information, these are the first passers-by since the silver-haired monster.”
Maybe that was natural.
Passing Lewis’ test means proving that you are a level 6 hunter or higher. That wasn’t the skill to be fooled by a crappy trap.
“Being able to face talented challengers like you two… … “In this Ruin Castle, you are the only one, Louis.”
Sigh-
After reaching the depths of Ruin Castle, the guide finally opened the ice door. Shin Yu-seong’s eyes saw a line of ice soldiers.
And standing at the end of the long red carpet leading from the entrance is a huge throne.
Teok-
But it wasn’t Louis sitting on the throne.
“hi?”
The person resting her chin and smiling happily was none other than Adella.
“… … Adela?”
Seeing Shin Yu-seong asking with an expression of disbelief, Adela carefully examined her body with a hand mirror made of ice.
Not only the face, but also the backs of the hands and arms. From my feet to my legs, I looked at them one by one with a satisfied expression, without missing anything.
“This much about human subjects… … It has powers suitable for cold. I really like it… … . “It was definitely worth keeping an eye on.”
Clearly, the body in front of Shin Yu-seong was Adella’s body, but what was inside it was not the Adella that Shin Yu-seong knew.
What is now inhabiting Adella’s body is Louise, the Witch of Winter. She looked at the challenger in despair.
“… … Thank you. Thanks to you who challenged me without fear, I was born again.”
He smiled and said hello.
