9 years old.
Deep in the caves of Mt. Musin, young Shin Yu-seong once fought a slime.
No matter how hard I punched it, it was difficult to damage the slime, which was soggy, sticky, and sticky.
‘In this case, it’s exactly that kind of opponent.’
Now Dian’s body was bubbling with black liquid.
Grrrr- Grrrr-
The black mana that bloomed like a puffy cloud was flowing across the floor like sewage, polluting the ground.
Chi-Ik-
Shin Yu-seong raised his head as he watched the plant that touched the sewage disappear shapelessly as if dissolved in hydrochloric acid.
‘It’s clear what the weakness is.’
Obviously, Dian’s weak point would be his defenseless body that spewed out dirt and soared into the sky.
The appearance of blue and red veins sprouting all over the body was extremely hideous, perhaps due to the overload caused by the excessive use of its abilities.
But that was Dian’s desperate effort to defeat Shin Yu-seong. Even if it looked like this, Dian had no choice.
“… … I never thought I would entrust myself to this ability again. “It’s a really horrible feeling any time.”
Dian looked down at Shin Yu-seong with eyes as white as a fish.
“I envy your nobleness. “How do I see myself to you now?”
Filth flowing from the body.
A curse spell that is engulfing the entire forest. Dian’s appearance could not even be called human.
What should I answer to that question now?
Shin Yooseong quietly looked up at Dian.
“What do you want to hear?”
Shin Yooseong looked so small in front of Dian, who had swelled up like a giant filth monster.
However, Dian did not hastily approach Shin Yu-seong. He knew that in a Hunter’s battle, size doesn’t matter.
“… … It’s a literal question. Do I look like a horrible monster? Or do you see me as a hunter who saves humanity?”
Shin Yu-seong closed his eyes at Dian’s question. As the bright vision became obscured, a new vision emerged clearly.
Red. Orange. yellow. And green.
All things in nature and the life of the forest.
In Shin Yuseong’s field of vision, their mana was blooming like colorful fireflies, revealing their presence and fluctuating. And among those lives, of course, there was Dian.
The thing that creeps out from the horrible filth is a cold blue color that makes your whole body feel cold.
“well… … .”
Shin Yu-seong knew the meaning of that color.
Very young days.
The time when he was abandoned by the Sinnoh family.
‘Even though I couldn’t see this scene back then… … .’
Shin Yooseong closed his eyes and swept the air with his fingertips. When her blue firefly touched her fingertips, it felt bitterly cold, and her faint sensation sharply pricked her heart.
“I don’t know about that. “I just know that you look like me.”
Dian’s blue color.
It was the same color of loneliness as Shin Yu-seong when he was young. Just as Shin Yu-seong chose and followed the King of Kwon, Dian also accepted the magic technique.
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 most surprising answer I’ve ever heard.”
Sigh-!
Dian’s filth turned into tentacles and attacked Shin Yu-seong. The sludge made of mana was an acid solution that melted the body just by touching it, but Shin Yu-seong stretched out his index finger without hesitation.
Then he made a dot as if he had discovered something.
Talk-
I felt cold on my index finger that touched the dirt. For Shin Yu-seong, who realized the numerous properties of mana, including resonance, finding out what properties an opponent’s mana had had many advantages.
‘For example… … .’
In the slowdown of time, Shin Yu-seong twisted his index finger and broke the essence of the filth.
Although it was embodied in the form of dirt, its essence was ultimately a mass of pure mana. If you destroy the process of mana, how will the filth change?
Saaa-
The result was very simple.
Dian’s dirt that touched Shin Yuseong’s index finger turned into blue mana as if it were being purified and scattered into the air.
“This is-!”
Dian eventually cut off his own tentacle as he watched the blue waves constantly approaching through the sewage.
thud-!
The waste that fell to the ground made a huge noise and created a pit, but it soon turned into blue mana and disappeared.
“This technology has already been developed… … It breaks down into mana again? There’s no way something like this is possible… … .”
Cheok-!
Shin Yu-seong approached Dian in an instant and landed his fist. Half of Dian’s dirt, fluttering with a cool sound, had already disappeared.
Quang!
“Understanding the nature of mana is ultimately the same as understanding the essence of that person.”
This was not simply about the destruction of technology. The world beautifully embroidered with mana continued to give hints to Shin Yu-seong.
What makes him urgent?
Does it create a sense of desperation for victory?
Although that is the driving force behind whipping oneself. Shin Yu-seong already knew.
‘That alone will never reach the desired results.’
If he hadn’t met the party members, he would have ended up staying there. The world did not kindly open the way for me even though I ran forward with impatience.
In fact, there was a path that could be seen more clearly from a place where one took a step back.

‘Desperation and earnestness are stronger driving forces than anything else.’
Sigh-!
Shin Yu-seong closed his eyes as he saw the approaching tentacle.
‘… … It narrows and blurs your vision.’
Paat-
Shin Yu-seong’s both hands drew a beautiful semicircle and blocked the tentacle.
‘What you need to become strong is not just your body.’
Mana is ultimately the power of the mind that shapes the invisible. What hunters needed as much as physical growth was internal growth.
If you feel its essence.
Even with 1, I was able to achieve 10.
If you don’t feel its essence.
Even with 10, he could only exert about 1 power.
thud-!
Shin Yu-seong lightly punched again. It was such a simple action, but the impact was huge.
Faaagh!
Half of the dirt that covered Dian’s body scattered into the air again, and the huge body retreated.
In some ways, the choices given were different, and the paths taken were different.
‘I was just lucky.’
Even in hopeless situations.
‘Always by my side… … .’
Shin Yu-seong, with his eyes closed and smiling, threw a roundhouse kick.
Wedge! pop-!
This time too, dirt flew as the kick exploded, but Shin Yu-seong did not stop attacking.
“how-! only you! Only you guys have that ability! “I gave up everything!”
Even when several tentacles flew towards him, Shin Yu-seong avoided them with light movements. Dian’s emotionally turbulent mana was even easier to read.
To Shin Yu-seong now, it was as if Dian was telling him in advance where he would attack.
“That’s the problem.”
A blue energy lingered in Shin Yu-seong’s hands. As she stretched out her palm towards her filth, a wave of violent mana surged towards her opponent.
Changryongseungcheonpa (蒼龍昇天波)
Paang!
The wave created by Shin Yu-seong sublimated the filth, a lump of mana, into its own power and engulfed it in an instant.
Absolutely overwhelming power.
Dian narrowly landed on the floor as the filth that formed his body dispersed in the air.
“… … “That’s the problem?”
Dian’s eyes, which had been flashing like fish-like whites, returned to their usual state.
Sigh-!
Dian turned his arm into pitch-black flames and attacked, but Shin Yu-seong waited for the attack and muttered slowly.
“okay.”
To Dian, who gave up everything to become strong. Shin Yu-seong’s words that he could not become stronger because he had abandoned everything were like despair.
“Are you planning on deceiving me until the end! To become strong, I gave up everything. however… … “So you can’t become stronger?”
Dian screamed and swung jet-black flames.
Wedge-!
Like Dian’s anger, the endlessly long pitch black flames became a whip and tried to burn the entire forest.
However, Shin Yu-seong did not give up on the momentum and still answered calmly.
“A person who has abandoned everything cannot become stronger.”
Shin Yu-seong lowered his head.
Wedge-! bang!
The prolonged fire swept through the forest, knocking down several trees, but Shin Yu-seong passed by the whip.
fault-
A fiery heart in battle was not good. The excited mind made the movements louder.
It was very easy for Shin Yu-seong to approach an opponent who was full of such loopholes.
“Because there is no reason to become strong.”
With those words that were like a death sentence that summed up the entire story, Shin Yu-seong stretched out his palm.
Fighting style, Pokryongamcashjang (暴龍巖碎掌)
Shin Yoo-seong’s palm is close to his own. Dian’s vision turned white as he saw the mana swirling at the end.
Bleep-
Only the frantic sounds of machinery were heard, not even the loud noises made in the aftermath of the storm.
A person who has abandoned everything cannot become strong. To Dian, it was just a riddle.
There was something Dian had heard ad nauseam from the moment she learned the technique.
[Have you really decided? The moment you decide to accept this technique, you must sacrifice your life.]
okay.
[You are not Dian. It becomes another torch that has decided to inherit the magic technique. Can you really bear that weight?]
To carry this weight.
To give up everything.
As much as I threw away those precious things.
Dian learned that as the weight becomes lighter, the empty space will be filled with stronger strength.
‘… … ‘I was wrong?’
I don’t know myself.
What does the other person know?
Quaaaaang-!
But no matter how much he thought, Dian couldn’t come up with an answer. As Shin Yoo-seong said, he may have simply thrown away too much.
‘okay.’
So much so that he doesn’t even know what precious things he has thrown away.
[Blinn Academy]
[Dian eliminated]
too many.
