Episode 369 A
quiet hospital room. Shin Yooseong thought.
From the moment Kang Yu-chan entrusted Shin Ha-yoon with his work through unspoken threats. Perhaps the current situation was not foreseen.
“…velvet.”
Yooseong Shin muttered in a weak voice as he looked at Velvet lying down. Most of the mana remaining in the Dragon Heart was taken away from Velvet, and suffered from a high fever in the aftermath.
Now, they are holding on with the mana stones and hospital facilities that Velvet made, but that was only a matter of time. It is impossible to replenish the tremendous magical power stored in the Dragon Heart with human technology and power.
Like tap water leaking from a broken plumbing, the flame of the velvet was slowly but surely going out.
“That person… said he wanted to apologize to his father, but it was all a lie…”
Even Velvet, who likes people like that, said in a voice as if he hated Shin Ha-yoon.
“I also use Orca… He’s my precious friend…”
According to Velvet, Orca was directly sealed to activate the catalyst that steals mana.
There was no way that a soul that was once drawn into a mana absorbing catalyst like a glass heart could escape.
The only way to save Orca’s sealed consciousness is to break the glass heart.
Yooseong Shin took Velvet’s hand.
Velvet’s hand was as cold as ice and she couldn’t let go. Shin Yuseong tried to convey his warmth.
“No Velvet. Orca isn’t dead. I will definitely save it.”
Was it because he was tired from losing mana or was it because he was relieved that Shin Yuseong had arrived? Velvet yawned.
“Kyaauh…. Yes, I believe in Dad.”
Yoosung Shin stayed by Velvet’s side and held her hand for a while. I walked out of the hospital room only after confirming that Velvet was fast asleep.
In front of Velvet, he tried hard to maintain his original feelings, but Shin Yoo-seong had never felt such great anger.
Master Velvet and colleagues.
The bond Shin Yoo-seong made with his colleague was a new family he created after being abandoned by the Shin-Oh family.
‘…Shin Ha-yoon.’
Shin Yuseong stared at the front with a very cold expression on his face. Until now, Shin Yoo-seong has tried to control his emotions as his teacher taught him.
It was natural for a martial artist.
Resentment burns enthusiasm, but hardens thoughts. Anger increases strength but narrows the field of vision. Sadness invigorates emotions but obliterates desire.
[The mind is like a leaf floating in a lake, so it is bound to be agitated even by calm waves.]
Shin Yoo-seong took a deep breath and recalled Master’s teachings, but the thoughts in his head did not change.
Shin Yooseong is now consumed by cold anger.
[Kyahang-! Dad is my favorite!]
[When I look at Velvet… I think about that. I thought that happiness with me was far away, but I could make someone happy…]
The happiness that Velvet gave and Adela’s bond had already turned into fuel for revenge against Shin Ha-yoon.
– I wondered why Shin Ha-yoon did that. what goals do you have where to go I know all the information. All that remains is your choice.
The voice of Yoo-wol, who told him to make a decision, lingers in Shin Yoo-seong’s ears. I know what Yu-Wol wants. He must have wanted to thwart Shin Ha-yoon’s ambitions.
However, since Velvet became like this, there was no choice.
‘I have no choice but to take it back with my own two hands…’
The moment Shin Yoo-seong clenched his fist with fierce eyes as he made up his mind.
Kwok-
Someone pulled Shin Yoo-seong’s collar. Perhaps because his eyesight was narrowed by anger, Yooseong Shin couldn’t even see Adela, who was approaching him.
“Me too… I’ll go.”
Adela cried so much that her eyes were red. It’s a very dangerous job, but Shin Yoo-seong couldn’t arrogantly say that he would do it alone.
This is what Velvet’s life was at stake. Now was the moment for everyone to come together. All the party members now gathered in the hospital room had the same idea.
“Don’t say it’s dangerous. i want to go too I will come back no matter what.”
Kim Eun-ah, who seemed very ill-tempered, took a step forward. Sumire nodded and showed everyone the back of her hand engraved with a purple pattern.
“…Laplace-sama also lent me his strength. Yoosung, please don’t worry about us.”
When he returned from Sakura’s dojo, Lee Si-woo also rolled up his arms and stood by Shin Yoo-seong’s side. In addition, the Japanese team, a strong supporter, promised to be with Shin Yoo-seong.
“Because our party is in danger. The Japanese team said they would come with us. Both Sakura and Isshin agreed.”
“Because our party is in danger. The Japanese team said they would come with us. Both Sakura and Isshin agreed.”
All steps are ready. All that remains now is Shin Yoo-seong’s decision.
“Let’s move right away.”
With Shin Yoo-seong’s decision, the party members walked toward the portal zone together.

Blame- Tatata!
Cheat typed at a speed that ordinary people couldn’t even dare, and skillfully put snacks into his mouth in the middle.
“The information given by Hergé and Yuwol was correct. The place where Shin Ha-yoon moves is really Cheon Gong Island. It’s a place where the Orb of Floatation, which was the driving force behind the boss attack, was also broken.”
Thanks to the information given by the vampiric Erze and Yu-wol, Cheet continued to track Shin Ha-yoon’s movements using her own communication network.
It was all because of what the captain, Nameless, said, ‘Shin Ha-yoon has the key.’
“…Then does that mean Shin Ha-yoon has collected all the mediums?”
Claw couldn’t believe Shin Ha-yoon’s ability. It was difficult even for a villain organization like Rebellion to break through so many restrictions and deceive the information network to obtain a dragon heart or a mana engine comparable to it.
“It’s way faster than expected~ There’s no captain or Erze right now.”
If so, who should I use?
But there was no need to worry. The current Rebellion had a new sword.
The strongest sword forged by the legendary Hunter Blade and perfected by Nameless.
“Ryujin. That’s the next mission.”

Contrary to its name, Cheon Gong Island was an ordinary archipelago with one huge island and dozens of small sites floating on the sea.
“I know? The original Celestial Island was floating in the sky, not the sea.”
center of the island.
Stepping up to the altar, Shin Ha-yoon looked down at the entire island. It is said that the giant bird called Cheonje, who ruled over the island of Tiangong before, used the ‘Orb of Float’ to make the entire island float in the sky. However, Shin Ha-yoon was not needed.
Shin Ha-yun did not have the power of wealth, but had telekinesis, and the glass heart had a driving force comparable to the current dragon heart.
‘…will this island really rise above the sky?’
Lee Hyuk looked at him with a face of disbelief. Even a 7th level hunter is difficult, but Shin Ha-yoon smiled while holding a glass heart.
“At the command of the Heavenly Emperor, the twelve rings rise above the sky.”
Koo Goong – Koo Woong!
The ground shook as if an earthquake had begun, and the entire island began to vibrate. It is impossible even with human technology to make such a huge island rise into the sky. But that was the scary thing about Hunter.
Hunter’s characteristic is power far beyond the common sense of mankind. The synergy of Shin Ha-yoon’s psychokinesis and the glass heart’s mana engine was the power to break common sense.
Gugu-gugu-
Following Ha-yoon Shin’s gestures, the entire island came to mind. Dirt poured out and the outer rocks rolled down into the sea.
If the height of the 20th floor of an apartment building was around 50 meters, now Cheon Gong Island was floating in the sky at a height of 100 meters.
“The road will come soon. Then move to the island where the tombstone is.”
It reminds me of the bridge connecting 12 islands, including Cheon Gong Island, where Shin Ha-yoon is now.
Dooung-
Then, the tombstone protecting the island would serve as an antenna, and Shin Ha-yoon planned to spread the ‘dream that never wakes’ around the world by using Aurora and a catalyst.

A dark room.
Yuchan Kang was looking down at the night view through the glass. Ever since he became the head of the Hunter Association, or since he saw ‘Truth of the Tower’, Yoochan Kang has been waiting for this moment more than anyone else.
At first, there were times when I doubted the truth shown by the tower, but fortunately, the wheel of fate turned steadily.
“…The path I wanted was just a desire to see the end of swordsmanship. You must have worse taste than I do.”
Kang Yoo-chan shook his head at the words of the Sword God, which contained criticism at first glance.
“You and I are just old people dying towards failure. Our desires are all the same.”
How can a hunter who ran to the peak lose his aspiration in front of the few steps left? Kang Yoo-chan was like a mountaineer who hadn’t given up on his dream yet.
“Amusement school and you…. passed that greed into someone else’s hands, but I just haven’t let it go yet.”
The sword body seemed to be laughing at himself for having become like this. However, the two knew each other better than anyone else and knew each other’s pain better than anyone else.
“…Do you know the sorcery called loneliness?”
“loneliness?”
“When I first challenged the 7th level boss, I asked the association’s chumman.”
Swordsman laughed at Kang Yoo-chan, wondering what was so enjoyable.
“It’s an artifact that weakened the 7th grade boss, but the way to make it was surprisingly simple. Gather poisonous monsters from all over the region in one place. It puts it in a huge hole.”
The sword body remembered the monsters that were infested in the huge hole. The pit that became hell spewing out all sorts of poison was still vivid in my memory.
“The venomous beasts spit venom, tear each other apart, and devour everything in front of them. Then… only one poisonous animal survives in the pit.”
Kang Yu-chan, who understood the meaning of the Sword God, made an uncomfortable expression. The swordsman continued to speak.
“That’s a curse that can kill anything that isn’t already a living thing… Isn’t that similar to the ending you want?”
Kang Yoo-chan did not respond to the Sword God’s provocation. Kang Yu-chan, who had been silent for a long time just gazing at the night view, chanted very quietly.
“…I’m satisfied with that.”
