Within a creepy cave, EunAh was grabbing Sumire's collar, a pale expression on her face.
"Hey, Sumire don't move far away from okay?"
Sumire smiled to console the frightened EunAh.
"Hehe, of course! I'm around Ms. EunAh's side, so don't worry."
"Haa, okay, but I can't understand why the Tower turned us into seven-year-old children."
EunAh rembered that they were inside the Tower, which was proof that she still had her mories.
"Still, aren't you glad? Our mories were left intact."
Just like Sumire said, that was good for the subjugation, but EunAh shook her head. "There's sothing strange I've beco more fearful and I cannot use my Trait"
EunAh tried to use electricity, but it just scattered away.
'This is probably'
Sumire gave her a serious look. Although EunAh had the mories of a 17-year-old, she didn't have the ntal capabilities and abilities of one.
'Just looking at EunAh's attitude it's cute. She's acting like a seven-year-old child'
As evidence of that, although Sumire's body had grown younger, her attitude hadn't changed that much from her usual self.
"Haa, why am I such an idiot? I can't even use my Trait"
Although EunAh's mories remained intact, her personality had changed to how it was when she was a kid. Sumire tried to maintain her composure while looking at EunAh.
'C-cute'
She'd gotten younger, but EunAh still seed to have her sharp senses. She glared at Sumire, who was holding back laughter.
"Sumire, your expression is unpleasant You're laughing at , right?!"
"N-no! I wasn't thinking of anything!"
"Really? I'm not sure about that"
EunAh narrowed her eyes and gave her a suspicious look; then she looked away.
"Youre seven but can still summon skeletons?"
"Yes. I have been able to use my abilities since I was young, but as you can see, they aren't that strong."
Sumire's skeleton couldn't even lift EunAh. It barely had strength comparable to Sumires.
"Hmm, it seems like our mana and Trait control have been reduced with our younger ages."
"Really? Then could we win by ourselves? YuSung should be here Hmm"
As EunAh fell into thought, Sumire smiled in satisfaction.
'As expected, she's cute.'
Unlike the usually strong EunAh, she was soone Sumire had to protect.
"How about we leave the cave? Based on what we've seen, the interior seems like a maze"
Tap.
"Just like this, move while holding onto the wall!" Sumire explained easily so that a little kid would understand. It seed like it worked.
EunAh grabbed the wall while making a serious expression. "Like this?!"
It looked like she'd put too much strength into it. Bits of stone fell.
"EunAh!" Sumire extended her hands to protect EunAh.
'Too late!'
Tap.
EunAh fell to the ground after being hit with bits of stone.
"Buaa!"
If EunAh were 17, she would've just frowned, but it was too much for her at seven. She collapsed while grabbing her head.
"EunAh! Are you okay?"
"I'm not, Sumire. The sky is spinning"
EunAh was dizzy. Sumire made a troubled expression.
'We'll have to take a break'
* * *
* * *
As soon as he entered the Tower, he saw a world made of toy blocks. YuSung checked the situation, his face tense.
Swoosh.
Despite being seven, the mana fire over the palms of his hands showed his capability.
'My mories of the Tower remain intact.'
Who he was, where he was, why he'd co there YuSung had all of those mories.
The only thing he found uncomfortable was that his arms and legs had gotten shorter.
'I got shorter, so my field of vision is narrower, and my senses also aren't as sharp.'
As long as he still had his battle experiences with him, YuSung wasn't scared of anyone.
'Since I have my mories, I should be able to deal with a rank 3 comfortably if my party backs up'
Although YuSung had beco younger, his sharp senses were still beyond those of a normal human.
Slide. Paf!
As evidence of that, YuSung turned his head and saw a group of toy soldiers pointing their arrows at him.
They loosed their arrows as he noticed them.
FWOOSH-!
Adela, who'd also beco younger, hadn't noticed, but YuSung got into position.
YuSung was used to it, but it wasn't a technique he could use back then, when he was seven.
Tap.
'Put my weight on the right foot.'
YuSung used his feet as the rotation axis and turned his body.
'Once there's enough strength, I should put in the equivalent mana.'
YuSung's movents were too natural, despite using techniques he hadnt known at seven years old.
'Lastly, the problem is the mana.'
To compensate for his lack of mana, YuSung gathered the mana around him.
Most hunters used the mana within their bodies because using the mana in the air was impossible for a human, but there was a special being who could use the mana in the air; the sa being could also imbue promises with mana.
[You've used the strength of Sardonyx's fragnt - (Incarnation Crupeos).]
[You've used the strength of Sardonyx's fragnt - (Sardonyx).]
[Skill Obtained - Mana Conversion]
[ Warning: Sardonyx's fragnt - (Incarnation Ignis's fragnt) is missing. Youre only capable of using 80% of its power.]
At seven years old, he used the strength of a dragon. YuSung gathered mana in the palms of his hands.
The only thing left was to emit the strength that was gathering like a vortex.
Paf!
YuSung rotated his body and extended his hands.
Battle God Style Savage Dragon's Boulder Crushing Palm
WHOOM!
The Savage Dragon's Boulder Crushing Palm not only blew away the arrows, but it also blew away everything theyd passed through.
He'd managed to do a Savage Dragon's Boulder Crushing Palm stronger than the one he'd done at nine years of age.
"Woah"
Adela looked at YuSung while making a surprised expression. He fell into thought while looking at Sardonyx's pattern on the palms of his hands, which was becoming blurry.
'It will be easier than expected'
YuSung, with mories of his fights
Wasn't just a simple seven-year-old child.
* * * *
Paf.
Little kids stepping on stones could be heard. The Toy Kingdom's boss, the Toy King, awaited the opponents exiting the cave.
'Kids, don't hate . Battles are always cruel, after all.'
Tap, tap.
"Haa, Sumire. My head just spun around"
As EunAh's weak voice was heard near the entrance, around 30 soldiers loosed their arrows.
The opponents werent active hunters who'd mastered the strength of their Traits. Rather, they were seven-year-old children.
'To think they'd be this defenseless in a Tower subjugation where your life's on the line'
Tap, tap.
"Sumire, look at that! We're outside! There are also a lot of toys" EunAh, coming out running, seed happy to have left the cave.
The Toy King gave an order. "Everyone, shoot!"
Fwoosh!
The arrows quickly flew toward EunAh.
"Eek!" She seed scared at the unexpected situation.
"EunAh-!"
She only heard Sumire's voice.
Pang! Paf! Paf!
The arrows bounced away. She thought maybe Sumire had used a mana barrier. EunAh carefully opened her eyes after feeling a warm sensation surround her.
What she saw was Sumire smiling as usual.
"S Sumire?"
But there was sothing different.
If it weren't for her, Sumire would've been able to defend against an attack like that, but so toy arrows were hanging from Sumire's body.
"Haa, I'm glad It seems like I wasn't late this ti."
EunAh, surprised by the sudden attack, began crying when she heard Sumires warm voice.
