Monster Master: Evidence of the Way

Yiyin has experienced many hot and humid summers, but this summer is particularly hot and humid.

Even if you don't move, you can feel the heat rising in your body, which makes you feel upset.

But not everyone suffers from it, some people actually enjoy it.

It's not always possible to share the same hatred and hatred with your comrades. There will never be another time in this life when you can fight for the same goal with your comrades without reservation.

No one knows when the enemy will appear, and all everyone can do now is pray silently.

One afternoon, as the sun set, Yi Yin felt his body hollowed out. He had nearly lost consciousness from the constant hammering and training, relying on his resilience to hold on.

"System, are you here?"

After gradually learning some of the truth about the "system" and the "world", Yiyin no longer had much hope for the system.

However, if you want to fight against the laws of nature, you may need the help provided by the system.

No matter how Yiyin called out, the only response was deep silence.

"[The system is being upgraded. Please call again later. It will be reopened after all monsters are killed.]"

After hearing this, Yi Yin felt that the system was not reliable, so he sighed deeply.

"(Hey, what happened?)"

After finally getting a moment to breathe, Xuanwu chose to resolve the situation with Yiyin on the spot.

Time is the least lacking thing, but also the most lacking thing, because it is never enough and you never know when it will suddenly return to zero.

"I want to see if the system can help."

Yiyin spoke the truth. Since his identities as a previous member were made public, he also told everyone the secrets of the system without reservation.

"The result... is still the same. It seems that I can only rely on myself from now on."

"(Yes... Apart from courage, what else can we rely on...)"

Xuanwu was a little depressed, which showed that Baihu's words had indeed had a certain impact on her.

"(Thank you, Iin. I finally have the courage to tell you what I've discovered.)"

"Really? Why not tell me about it..."

Yi Yin was a little interested when he came, but he soon regretted it.

"No, no, no, let's not talk about it now. Let's keep it a little mysterious. Let's wait until we win the next battle."

“(……)”

Yiyin wanted to set a flag in the opposite direction, after all, the same flag would not take effect twice.

The last Qiraon who set a flag had a pair of arms broken. If Yiyin is lucky... he should not be missing any limbs.

Xuanwu knew that nothing can be forced, and if some things are not said now, there will be no chance to say them again in the future.

If that's the case...

It can only be considered as fate.

"(In that case, let's play the Seven Sages Summoning again.)"

As she spoke, Xuanwu took out the card she had treasured for a long time.

Speaking of which, these Seven Saints Summoning Cards have passed through the hands of many people many times. It’s pretty good that there are still people willing to play with her.

"Okay, come on."

Yi Yin thought back to the time when, in order to hone their tacit understanding, Yi Yin and Xuan Wu had fought bloody battles for several rounds. Playing cards not only improves skills, but also brings people closer together.

More importantly, a skilled player can carefully observe a person’s inner thoughts through playing cards.

……

"I lost."

After fighting for several rounds, Yiyin was the first to give up and surrendered.

The initial hand was too bad, and no matter what you did, you couldn't turn the tide.

Obviously, Yiyin was unlucky and was dealt a bad hand.

"Xuanwu-senpai's skills are still as excellent as ever."

Yi Yin admired her from the bottom of her heart, "It's just... I feel like you seem to have something on your mind, and you haven't been able to display your full potential. Is it something about the other seniors?"

After experiencing the life-and-death battles with other demon beasts, Yi Yin also more or less understood some of the situation and knew that the four goddesses had made more or less sacrifices.

In such a depressing atmosphere, it is understandable that everyone feels worried.

But Xuanwu shouldn't be like this, she sealed her words and also sealed her emotions. Although these emotions occasionally wavered, they were not to the point where they could completely affect her.

unless……

"(Remember what my great-grandfather said, Rokakaka... We went to Uqbar to find it.)"

"Unfortunately, we couldn't find it in the end."

Yi Yin said with some regret, "Thinking about it, we really wasted too much time in Uqbar. It's not an exaggeration to say that we accomplished nothing. But, Senior Sister Xuanwu, why are you suddenly talking about this?"

Xuanwu hesitated, as if he didn't know whether he should say it or not.

After a long while, she finally sighed.

"(My body is failing, I can feel it. After lingering on for so many days, I will finally meet my end.)"

Xuanwu could clearly sense the changes in his body. Even though he had been influenced by Yiyin's dark power, he could not stop his shaky decline.

It would be better to say that the fact that Xuanwu has been able to hold on until now is already a miracle.

"Hahahaha, Senior Xuanwu is so humorous. No matter how injured Senior Qinglong and Senior Suzaku are, they are still alive. Not to mention Senior Baihu is just mentally weak, her body is still jumping around. You will definitely be fine."

Yiyin was speaking to Xuanwu, but also to herself.

But everyone knows very well that the most fragile thing is human life.

Like a candle in the wind, it disappears without a trace with just a little effort.

"(That's why I said we need courage. Don't worry, I'll live to see the day the war begins. Choosing the final battlefield as my final ceremony sounds quite romantic, doesn't it? Besides... the curse may not necessarily work. Depending on the circumstances, that battle may even bring me back to life.)"

"Huh? The situation is reversed?"

Yi Yin didn't quite understand. His mood was like riding a roller coaster, suddenly going from the highest point to the lowest point.

"(This has to do with its characteristics. The 'Lord of Death and Destruction,' or the Dragon King of Destruction, is a dragon king that brings trauma and can also bring about creatures that have long been destroyed. Rokakaka is among them.)"

Yes! Rokakaka is in Uqbar, and the Dragon King of Destruction will also appear in Uqbar.

No wonder Xuan Xing said he was going to Uqbar to find Rokakaka, but didn't set a time. So, that's what happened!

"Senior Xuanwu, is this also in your calculations?"

Yi Yin swallowed his saliva, "Why not tell everyone? If everyone works together, the success rate may be higher."

"(That's unnecessary. Our first priority is to kill the Destruction Dragon King. It would be a waste of time to put that before the horse for something else.)"
