Ultra was fully prepared for battle, even wearing a suit.
‘… … Hoo. Sardonyx is friendly towards Korean students?’
However, instead of fighting, Shin Yoo-seong and Sardonyx are hugging each other. With the retirement of two 7th grade hunters, the hopeless Sardonyx raid was taking a strange turn.
‘This is a good sign.’
The flow of strategy has changed.
Ultra wasn’t the only one watching this situation.
‘… … ‘Just taking the time is beneficial!’
Shoichi sheathed his sword and stepped back. He was willing to risk his life to conquer Sardonyx, but since he could bide his time without any sacrifice, he had no reason to refuse.
‘… … This?’
Adella was nervous, fearing that Sardonyx might attack Shinyuseong, but Eliza grabbed Adella’s shoulder and gave an order.
“Adella. “Please step away for now.”
Although he was not showing any hostility at the moment, the ferocious mana spewed out by Sardonyx, whose emotions were intensified, was enough to make even 6th level hunters’ skin tingle.
‘… … The heat can be transmitted with just mana. ‘Is this what level 7 is like?’
Eliza grabbed Adela and stepped back with a nervous look on her face.
The key to this attack on Sardonyx is.
The guardian deity of the Yalu River. Cloud Master
Duraþrór, one of the deer that grew up eating the leaves of the world tree.
‘Unless Rosa-sama is not there, if Sardonyx releases its breath, we must prepare for annihilation in the worst case.’
So, no matter what the situation was, Eliza thought it was right to give Shin Yu-seong a chance now.
“Taru… … . “Did you come to find me directly?”
Sardonyx opened his mouth.
Instead of spouting fire from her mouth, she was whispering to Shin Yu-seong in a sweet voice.
‘I don’t remember anything like that.’
Shin Yu-seong had no memories of Taru. It was unclear whether Shin Yooseong was really the reincarnation of Taru, who transcended time and space like the wind of Sardonyx. Now I can’t prove anything. Shin Yu-seong and Taru are just similar people.
– Only you can save Sardonyx.
However, Krupeos was forcing Shin Yu-seong to act as Taru’s replacement.
– Sardonyx. As long as she opened her eyes. My voice as an incarnation will soon disappear.
– So, let me ask you one last question. please save her her
A crossroads of choice given to Shin Yu-seong.
The key to this attack was not the retired 7th-level hunters or the 6th-level hunters who claimed to be mentors. It was held by none other than Shin Yu-seong.
Sardonyx asked back as Shin Yu-seong’s expression became serious.
“… … Taru?”
She was not a noble dragon, but a partner, waiting only for Shin Yu-seong’s answer.
“huh.”
Shin Yu-seong’s short answer came out after a moment of thought. Shin Yu-seong thought.
During the dragon’s long lifespan, what made it special?
Shin Yu-seong watched Repina’s life as Sardonyx lived through Krupeos’s recollections.
I didn’t know Taru’s life, but I at least knew Lepina’s life.
Therefore, it was possible to infer what kind of answer Lefina, not Sardonyx, was waiting for.
“… … Repina.”
A name known only to those who watched Sardonyx’s entertainment days.
Joy and sadness.
Sardonyx’s dazed face instantly distorted.
Whoa!
Mana spurted out around Sardonyx, and her image came to life. The surroundings turned into a forest, and Sardonyx took on the appearance of Repina, who had been having fun. In this world of images, no one existed except Shin Yuseong and Sardonyx. Moreover, the season is spring, when flowers fall from the trees. That was Tarrou’s favorite season.
“Taru. Taru… … .”
Proof that Sardonyx did not forget even the smallest details when it came to Taru. Sardonyx cried out in a lively spring forest.
“… … Sorry, I’m late, right? I just keep going, keep going… … I found it. “Because we promised.”
What time. What space. Sardonyx fought alone to keep his harsh oath to find him no matter what he looked like.
Shin Yu-seong thought.
What did Sardonyx want to hear from Taru so much?
“I miss you. very.”
“huh. me too. Me too, really. really… … .”
Sardonyx’s words could not continue any longer. Even dignified dragons were no different from humans in this respect.
In the end, they too miss someone just like humans. suffer from loneliness
Without being healed or comforted, I live alone for nearly eternity.
Shin Yu-seong thought.
Perhaps Taru is more of a bane than a benefit to Sardonyx?
Could it be that the warmth that Taru made Sardonyx, who had never known cold, shiver in eternal winter?
‘… … ‘That was a stupid idea.’
However, Shin Yu-seong quickly gave up his thoughts.
[…] … How about it, will you follow me?]
A day when the sky seemed to have opened and the rain was pouring down. Shin Yu-seong remembered the warm hand extended by Master.
Even though the process and results were different from Sardonyx, it was something he had already experienced. Because it is impossible to forget the warmth given in the cold.
Sardonyx’s reason for finding a partner despite such slim odds as a needle in the sand may not be a grand one after all.
“Lefina. For not giving up. For keeping your promise. … … thank you.”
Krupeos was right.
Even if it’s not Taru. Shin Yu-seong was able to save Sardonyx. Because the opponent was not a level 7 boss called a disaster, but a poor girl who had been looking for her first love for eternity.

“… … Taru.”
Sardonyx smiled with an unknown expression and kissed Shin Yu-seong.
Bright sunlight pouring down according to Sardonyx’s emotions. Beautifully fluttering petals.
Sardonyx smiled at Shin Yu-seong, who was facing him.
“Did you forget everything when you were reincarnated? are you okay. Even if Taru forgets. “Because I remember everything.”
In the world of images created by Sardonyx, time was meaningless. Here, the eternity of reality could become a moment, and the eternity of imagination could become a moment of reality.
* * *
A day in Sardonyx’s mind. Two days. After about a week, Shin Yu-seong could hear Krupeos’ voice on the grass with a gentle breeze blowing.
– You are a kind person.
At the same time. Sardonyx looked up at Shin Yuseong and smiled.
“… … thank you. Taru.”
A soft yet serious voice.
“You are so kind.”
Sardonyx spoke meaningful words as if he knew everything, then kissed Shin Yu-seong and gently breathed on him.
‘… … This.’
That’s Sardonyx’s mana.
It was life. It was everything to her.
[Fragment of Sardonyx – (Fragment of Sardonyx) has been obtained.]
[Krupeos’ covenant has been fulfilled. The convenience is unlocked.]
[You have obtained all pieces except the fragment of the Avatar Ignis.]
[Mana increases and physical abilities are strengthened in proportion to the power contained in Sardonyx’s fragment.]
‘… … ‘All the conveniences?’
Sardonyx is the master of Avatar.
If it’s her piece, it wouldn’t be surprising if you ended up absorbing all of it. But why now?
Shin Yu-seong looked into Sardonyx’s eyes as the situation suddenly unfolded.
“You knew.”
“huh.”
Sardonyx looked at Shin Yuseong and smiled.
“Even if I lost my memory. Can you comfort me? “As expected, Taru is kind.”
Sardonyx’s body shook in the wind blowing on the field.
“… … I can tell. “I guess the reason I was summoned here was because of my greed.”
Sardonyx achieved his goal of finding Taru. He also kept the oath that was bound to his fate.
And at that moment, Sardonyx felt that his connection to this world had disappeared.
“If it’s my mana. I might be able to hold out for about a year, but… … .”
Sardonyx was smiling with a happy face.
“I wanted to entrust my strength to you kind person. Oh, of course I couldn’t get the piece of Ignis back… … .”
Maybe it’s because of Rebellion.
Shin Yu-seong looked at Sardonyx with a calm face.
“Sardonyx. You made a covenant. “Don’t you regret it?”
In response to Shin Yu-seong’s sudden question, Sardonyx grinned with an idiotic expression on his face.
“huh. never… … .”
Sardonyx’s body slowly turns into particles starting from the fingertips and scatters in bright light.
“I never regret it.”
Sardonyx smiles while asserting. Shin Yu-seong laughs at that sight. A red light seeped into the back of Shin Yu-seong’s hand.
‘… … Right.’
Is this also the path to becoming a strong hunter that the teacher spoke of? Is this a hunter’s strategy?
Just as each person has different goals.
Maybe there was no right answer.
What’s really important is.
‘What’s left? … … is it.’
What Taru left behind to Sardonyx.
What Sardonyx left to Shin Yu-seong.
And what his teacher, King Kwon, left to Shin Yu-seong. Lee Si-woo. Sumire. Eunah Kim. Amy. What he gave to his precious party members, and what he received.
Saaaa-
Shin Yu-seong raised his head at the pleasant feeling of the wind. The world without Sardonyx was slowly collapsing.
It was the end for those who left, but it was a new beginning for those who stayed.
