Chapter 373
Six altars hidden on 12 islands.
When Lee Hyuk first heard of this operation, he asked Shin Hayun.
Will Shin Yu-seong’s party really go to find the altar spread across the country? What would happen if the entire party left the altar and came up to Sky Island?
[No, don’t worry.]
However, Shin Hayun smiled leisurely at Lee Hyuk’s question. He answered casually, leaving his signature on the subjugation work involving billions of people.
[That won’t happen. Yoosung is going to save that kid.]
Just one moment.
Lee Hyuk thought for just a moment. Could it be that the reason Shin Hayun asserted was a sense of family? Did he understand Shin Yoo-seong’s feelings because he watched him during his childhood?
But that was half a guess.
[People praise him as a rising star, but I can see his essence in my eyes.]
The story that came out of Shin Hayun’s mouth was not the warm sentiment that Lee Hyuk expected.
[Abandoned… … . A little child who is overcome with a sense of defeat and longs for the attention and love of others… … .]
Lee Hyuk knew. This is Shin Hayun’s way.
[Will I have the courage to let go of the candy I got and the hand I held?]
He easily found the weaknesses and painful areas of others and did not hesitate to sprinkle salt on their wounds for the sake of his goals.
[On the other hand, I am different… … . I threw it all away.]
This was not a matter of strength, but a difference in mindset before entering the war.
Jerk. Jerk. Jerk.
Lee Hyuk raised his sword at the sound of footsteps walking toward him.
“I didn’t know you would help Shin Yu-seong’s party.”
Black school uniform. Neat hair. A hunter with an expressionless expression that doesn’t look like a single drop of blood will come out even if stabbed, and who carries a sword at his waist like himself.
Sereung-
The hunter, who drew his sword with a cold metal sound, focused his gaze not on Lee Hyuk, but on the windy field.
Spring hasn’t come yet. The winter wind was too cold, and the leaves that dried in the cold were lifeless.
“Right.”
Now it’s a dry winter waiting for spring. But relationships are not seasonal. Isshin knew that spring would not come if he waited quietly.
“… … “This kind of nonsense definitely doesn’t suit me.”
Believing that things will get better over time even if you don’t do anything is because it’s convenient. If you really want something, if you really want that person to be happy, you have to act.
“But you were unlucky.”
Isshin chose to pick up the sword, even if that person was not by his side.
That’s really funny. Even though he was doing something he had laughed at as childish, Isshin was convinced that this was the right answer.
“I was just trying to become that person.”
It was a very late realization.
I thought that the reason I looked at Sumire, who was looking at the violets in particular, was because of pity, and I thought that the feeling of loss I felt when Sumire left was anger that came from resentment.
However, the emotions he felt were not pity, pity, resentment, or anger. It took a long time to find that simple answer.
Isshin needed a lot of reflection before he could raise his sword for Sumire.
okay. One thing is important. The fact is that he took up the sword for someone.
“… … I hope you know what you’re doing. Hayoon never forgets the people who got her in trouble.”
To Isshin, who had finally found the answer, Lee Hyuk’s threat was funny. What are you afraid of now?
Are you afraid of failure, afraid of regret, afraid of death?
“Not raising a sword against you, not setting teeth… … . “Are you saying that’s the right answer?”
Isshin sneered.
Lee Hyuk is the vice president of Gaon. He had no intention of belittling. He was, by all accounts, a hunter with outstanding skills.
Nevertheless, Isshin laughed at Lee Hyuk.
“I envy you. “I can’t believe you can approach it with such a half-hearted attitude.”
He is now trying to correct regrets that are more fearful than death.
I regretted the day I met a girl who was squatting in front of a flower bed looking at violets on a rainy day, and I regretted doubting her qualifications, saying that she could not become a strong hunter with that weak heart.
Why couldn’t he have been the one to offer warm words even though he discovered it much earlier? Why couldn’t it have been you who believed in its potential?
Unfortunately, he wasn’t the one who made Sumire smile again, the one who believed in Sumire’s potential, and the one who was chosen by Sumire.
Sumire’s choice is Shinyuseong.
Maybe it won’t change for the rest of my life, so I picked up the sword. This is not a lighthearted attempt to help someone. It is a noble ritual to let go of regrets.
“… … “I always prepared for death when I picked up a sword.”
Red demonic energy bloomed on the sword Isshin was holding. The agony of my heart was swept away by the waves of mana. The rough waves sweep away everything that is disturbed and move on. Erase your worries and return your mind to nothingness.
Isshin muttered as he surrendered himself to the waves.
“… … “You are a blood-crazed white ghost.”
From the beginning, I had no intention of going into battle with the blood from cutting down a shabby monster. If he pledges to go to war, he must risk his life. You must fight with the intention of shedding your own blood, not the blood of others.
“Drink my blood.”
okay. Let’s pour it out. Let’s pour out everything that’s inside of us. If you can’t win with skill, you just need to have different determination.
“Devouring me.”
All you have to do is offer your blood and offer your flesh. So pour it all out.
“Spark a white flame.”
Isshin felt something flowing through his sword. It wasn’t about things like sword energy or mana. What is in the sword now is Isshin’s determination that melted away all his anguish.
“… … “Walk through a night that will never end.”
Isshin slowly opened his closed eyes. The light that seeped through the thin gaps between my eyelids was like moonlight on a dark night.
“One hundred ghost nights.”
Just like Isshin’s promise, a white flame rose up. However, contrary to his noble feelings, the hand that was given to Isshin was not that of an angel with wings, but that of a terrible evil spirit.
“Tsk… … .”

Immediately after feeling the terrible feeling of something gripping his body, a smiling Isshin spat out blood. A little blood flowed from his wide-open eyes, but the sword Isshin was holding glowed even more intensely.
“You are truly crazy.”
Isshin remained calm despite Lee Hyuk’s disdainful tone, as if he was sick of it.
“I told you. “The resolution is different.”
bang-!
Isshin’s body shot out like a bullet. The ghosts who drank the master’s pure blood willingly lent their forbidden power.
However, Lee Hyuk was also by far the strongest in close combat among Gaon’s second year students, and was chosen by Shin Hayun to become vice president.
“Hang in there. “Tool (檮杌).”
Lee Hyuk prayed for his sword after the name of one of the four evil evils that had stained all of China with fear.
Terrible white spirits inhabited Isshin’s sword and tried to take his blood, but the gigantic boar’s form held firm.
“You’re strong. Even though I blocked it properly, my hands were shaking… … . “This is the first time I’ve been pushed to this level even after demonstrating my characteristics.”
However, Lee Hyuk absorbed numerous artifacts under Shin Hayun. His potential was as good as that of a 6th grader, and his experience was not lacking.
Lee Hyuk also surpassed the level of a mere student a long time ago.
“but… … That’s exactly it. “Just because you’re desperate doesn’t mean you can win.”
Quang!
The blunt force of the sword struck Isshin’s sword. The power transmitted through the sword was not like a human being, but like a monster weighing tens of tons.
“… … “Ugh!”
Isshin was helplessly pushed away by the terrible vibration created by the power wave. The altar was within sight. If only Lee Hyuk was defeated, Isshin could hand Sumire the Glass Heart.
Then, for the first time, we would have been able to see Sumire happy thanks to Isshin. But Lee Hyuk was too strong an opponent.
“Tear it apart. “Gunggi (窮奇).”
Using Lee Hyuk’s sword, a monster with white wings and black fur swung its front paw. His sharp claws became three sword strikes and struck Isshin.
fault!
Isshin, who took a step back, felt the monster’s claws grazing his body within a fraction of a sheet of paper.
“I have a good feeling. “If I had blocked it, my body would have been torn apart by the other claws.”
Isshin stepped back and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. The light of the Hundred Ghosts Night continued to become more intense and stronger, but I could feel the blood in my body gradually decreasing.
“You, that power… … .”
Lee Hyuk smiled slightly. It was ironic that a prosecutor who controlled a ghost would be surprised by a prosecutor who controlled a monster.
“The essence of power, you’ve heard of it, right? Even if bosses above level 6 are conquered, their power does not disappear easily… … .”
In severe cases such as level 7, the entire area could become a desolate area where humans could not live, or there were cases where large cities where people lived suddenly turned into a tropical rainforest. It’s all because the essence of power contained in the boss mob has taken root in the ground.
“I can extract the essence of power within the earth.”
Lee Hyuk’s kind explanation was intended to instill despair. He wanted to impress upon people’s minds just how extreme the difference in skill between him and Isshin was.
“… … There are 60 types of extracted power essence. “I’ve only used two types.”
For a normal human being, the right thing to do is to put down the sword as soon as you hear this and declare that you are giving up.
“Give up. “You can’t beat me.”
However, Isshin looked at Lee Hyuk and raised his sword with a faint smile. And so calmly.
“… … I told you. I’ve already prepared myself for death. “Nothing has changed.”
death was declared.
