Episode 196:
A gloomy-looking cave.
With a pale face, Kim Eun-ah, terrified, grabbed Sumire by the collar and clung to her.
“Hey Sumire. Don’t get carried away from me… okay?”
To comfort the frightened Eunah Kim, Sumire smiled briskly.
“Hehe yes! Because I am by Eun-ah’s side.”
“Whoa, yes. but i’m stupid i can’t understand Why does TOP make people 7 years old?”
Kim Eun-ah knows that this is the tower. That proves that Kim Eun-ah has memories of being 17 years old.
“Aren’t you happy though? Because we left our memories behind.”
As Sumire said, it was a good signal for an attack. However, she shook her head, saying that it was not Kim Eun-ah.
“But far away. It’s strange… I’m not even scared… Electricity doesn’t come out of my hands…”
Kim Eun-ah tried to turn on the electricity, but it quickly disappeared from her fingertips.
‘This is probably…’
Sumire’s expression became serious as she watched. Although Kim Eun-ah has memories of being 17 years old. It was not the intelligence and ability of a 17-year-old.
‘Just look at Eun-ah’s actions. It’s so cute that it’s close to 7 years old. Even the mind can’t be intact…’
Sumire, who blocked ‘mental interference’ with that evidence, has turned 7 years old, but her personality and behavior are as normal as usual.
“Ugh, why am I such an idiot, I can’t even use electricity…”
On the other hand, Kim Eun-ah’s personality has completely changed into her childhood even though she has memories. Sumire struggled to manage her expression while looking at Kim Eun-ah, who had her shoulders stretched out next to her.
‘Your ears are cute…’
However, Kim Eun-ah sent a tingling look at Sumire, who was holding back her laughter.
“You Merge Sumire. That expression looks bad… I’m laughing at you!”
“Oh no! I didn’t even think about it!”
“really? I don’t think so…”
Kim Eun-a said, “Hmm-” and narrowed her eyes.
“Yes. You are 7 years old, can you summon a skeleton?”
“I have been able to use my abilities since I was younger than I looked. Of course, as you can see, it is not strong.”
It is impossible to lift Kim Eun-ah with Sumire’s skull now. At most, it was comparable to the strength of a 7-year-old Sumire.
“Hmm, maybe. It’s probably because he got younger and his mana and skill proficiency decreased.”
“okay? Then, will we be able to win among ourselves… Yooseong has to do it … Hmm…
Sumire smiled happily.
‘As expected, she’s cute.’
Unlike Kim Eun-ah, who looked strong as usual, at least today’s Kim Eun-ah was the target Sumire had to protect.
“Then, shall we go out of the cave together? From what I saw earlier, the inside is like a maze…”
Tak.
“Please move along one wall like me!”
Sumire pointed her palm to the wall at the eye level of a child and said. Then, as if the education had worked, Kim Eun-ah followed Sumire and pointed at the wall with a serious face.
“Like this!?”
However, it seems that she pressed too hard, and crumbs of stone fell from the ceiling toward Kim Eun-ah.
“Miss Eun-ah!”
Sumire reached out to protect Kim Eun-ah somehow.
‘late!’
Talk!
Eunah Kim, who was hit by a stone, fell backwards.
“Ugh!”
If I was 17, it would have been a shock enough to frown upon, but at best it would have been a blow to the night. Seven-year-old Kim Eun-ah grabbed her hair and collapsed on the spot.
“Miss Eun-ah! Are you okay?”
“I don’t care, there are two Sumire… The sky is all over the place…”
Kim Eun-ah’s face looks confused, perhaps because of the shock at Sumire’s question. Sumire looked at Kim Eun-ah, who had fallen, and smiled awkwardly.
‘I’m going to take a break…’
* * *
Upon entering the tower, all you see is a world made up of yellow and red toy blocks. Shin Yoo-seong fixed the situation with a serious face.
Saaa.
First of all, looking at the flame of mana burning in his hand, even at the age of 7, Shin Yoo-seong’s ability was sufficient.
‘I have memories of the tower.’
Even the memory of who he was, where he was, and why he had come, Yuseong Shin perfectly possessed it.
However, the shortened arms and legs at the age of 7 were uncomfortable even for Shin Yoo-seong.
‘I’m short, so my field of vision is narrow. My senses aren’t as sensitive as usual.’
However, as long as he had combat experience through his remaining memories, he was never afraid of Shin Yoo-seong.
‘Still, as far as I can remember, if I have the backup of my teammates, I’ll be able to handle up to level 3…’
In addition, Shin Yoo-seong’s sensitive senses far exceed that of ordinary people even though he has become younger.
Swoop. Pod!
As proof, toy soldiers were aiming arrows for children with suction plates at Shin Yoo-seong, where Shin Yoo-seong turned his head.
A toy soldier who lets go of the taut bowstring when Yoosung Shin notices it.
Whoa-!
The young Adela hadn’t even noticed the arrow yet. Shin Yoo-seong took a stance toward the flying.
that.
It was a technique that I was so used to now, but that 7-year-old Shin Yoo-seong could never use.
widely.
‘Put weight on your right foot.’
Shin Yooseong twisted his body, using his feet as a solid axis of rotation.
‘When enough power is loaded, it blows the corresponding mana.’
Shin Yoo-seong’s movements were so natural. In the body of a mere 7-year-old, there were hidden secrets that he did not know when he was a child.
‘The last problem is mana.’
Shin Yuseong drew and used mana from the surroundings to supplement the mana needed for the skill. Most hunters use latent mana in their bodies.
Common sense makes it impossible for humans to draw and use mana in the air.
But let alone drawing mana from the air. There was a special existence that the power of mana dwells even in a promise to someone.
[The fragment of Sardonyx – (a piece of incarnation of Krupeos) exerts its power.] [The power
of the fragment of Sardonyx – (Sardonyx) exerts its power.]
[Acquired skill – Mana Conversion]
[※Caution: Apostle Only 80% of the power is applied due to the lack of Nyx’s fragment – (Ignis’ fragment)
. Shin Yuseong drew the mana spread out in the air and gathered it in his hand.
All that was left was to release this storm-like power outward.
grasp!
Shin Yoo-seong, who rotated his body, spread his palms.
Toshinryu Bokryongam Cracking Ground (暴龍巖碎掌)
Kwagagak!!
The huge mana storm of the blastryongam blasting field is not only a toy arrow. It erased all objects in the place where it passed without a trace.
It is a technique that is several times stronger than the Pokryeongam Crusher that he used when he was 9 years old, and succeeded with the body of a 7-year-old.
“Oh…”
Adela admired with a dazed face at the sight of Shin Yoo-seong. Yuseong Shin thought as he saw the faint stigma of Sardonyx engraved on the back of his hand.
‘…Easier to wake up than I thought?’
Shin Yoo-seong, who has memories of battle.
I wasn’t even 7 years old.
* * *
Pseug. Pak.
The sound of children’s footsteps stepping on the gravel. Toy King, the boss of the Toy Kingdom, was hiding in front of the cave and waiting for the opponent to come out.
‘Girls. don’t resent me Originally, battles are ruthless.’
that buck enemy.
“Ugh, Sumire. My hair was spinning a while ago…”
I heard Kim Eun-ah’s weak voice from near the entrance. About 30 toy soldiers drew the strings of their bows in unison.
The opponents are not active hunters who have mastered the power of cool judgment and their own characteristics, but children who have turned into 7-year-olds.
‘To think that he was so defenseless in attacking the tower where life and death depended…’
Jebeok. enemy. Dododo-
“Hey! Look at that Sumire! out! There are so many toys…”
Kim Eun-ah, who was glad to get out of the cave, ran out of the cave well, wriggling with her short legs.
Toking gave instructions.
“Shoot them all!”
When Toking’s order fell, the soldiers put a demonstration.
Shuwook!
Arrows flying through the air and pouring at Kim Eun-ah at high speed.
“Hehe!”
Kim Eun-ah closed her eyes tightly, perhaps because she was frightened by the sudden situation.
“Mr. Eun-ah!”
Only Sumire’s urgent voice could be heard in my ears.
Pang Papa Babang! Whoop! Whoop!
Eunah Kim could hear Sumire’s mana barrier and the sound of the arrows bouncing off. And soon, Eunah Kim carefully opened her eyes to the warmth surrounding her.
Only then did I see Sumire smiling as usual.
“Sumire?”
But something was different.
If it wasn’t for herself, Sumire’s body, which would have easily blocked this level of attack, had toy arrows dangling from it.
“Huh, I’m glad. …It’s not too late this time.”
Surprised by the sudden attack, Kim Eun-ah burst into tears at the very friendly voice.
“Sumire… why why are you instead of me! Whoops! Arrows on the back…”
But instead of soothing the crying Eun-ah Kim. He said it in a voice he had never heard before.
“Not instead!”
“Then why are you… whimpering?”
When Kim Eun-ah, who sniffled and stopped crying, asked. Sumire put her emotions to rest and spoke like a child.
“that! It’s because I think I’ll regret it.”
“…regret?”
“yes. Eunah is a very precious colleague to me. So…”
Kim Eun-ah, who gradually assimilated into the body of a 7-year-old, could not understand Sumire’s difficult words. That’s why Sumire made eye contact with Kim Eun-ah and explained in a very caring voice.
“I was more sick and scared than doing anything in the face of a colleague’s crisis!”
Even Kim Eun-ah, who had become assimilated at the age of 7, could understand what Sumire was saying.
“Sumire. You’re dumb…”
But before Kim Eun-ah could get her emotions under control, the rope attached to the arrow dragged Sumire away.
“Sumire-!”
With the urgent voice of Kim Eun-ah.
“Ha ha ha! got it!”
Toy King’s voice laughing evilly.
Kwak.
After wiping away the tears, Kim Eun-ah clenched her fists.
Paget-! Paper weave!
Electricity that had not been used so far rose from Kim Eun-ah’s body.
Until now, I couldn’t use it because I was afraid to use the ability called electricity. Today’s Kim Eun-ah is a different story.
Rather than being afraid of his ability, electricity. Eunah Kim was even more afraid of losing her precious colleague, Sumire.
“…You will regret it.”
Cracks and cracks!!
Opening her eyes, Kim Eun-ah scattered blue lightning around her and shouted loudly at Toiking.
“You-all!”
