Comprehensive Manga: Hope in Another World

Aiz's eyes gradually returned to their calm and sharp look as during a normal fight. The gentle breeze around her transformed into a flow of light, quickly piercing the red-haired woman.

The clash between the tip of the sword and the sword exploded.

The ground several meters around the two of them formed a spiderweb full of cracks.

And Aiz's eyes became brighter. At that moment, the Level 5 barrier that had been bothering her for three years was gone!

After three years of saving up, she finally started to dismantle the submerged boulder with the help of Breathing Techniques, especially when facing a monster like the red-haired woman in front of her, and an enemy almost as good as Level 6.

Aiz and the red-haired woman engaged in a high-speed fight that was almost impossible to see.

And the completely empty place became a battleground for Aiz and her opponent.

The silver blade was swung at a speed invisible to the naked eye. In the blink of an eye, more than ten attacks wildly exchanged between the two, and the sword bodies and blades vibrated due to the excessive impact. The silver gloves were cut diagonally slightly, and some of her opponent's red hair was cut, leaving a thin trace of blood on the skin of both sides.

The weapon was most likely made directly from the tusks of a monster from the Inner Floor. The sword, which only had a hilt and a gray blade, looked like a nodachi. The sword repeatedly painted dark residual light in the darkness, and it was indistinguishable from Aiz's favorite sword, Desperate.

No, it was the enemy who defeated Aiz's "wind."

The enemy's sword reversed at high speed, knocking down the wind-powered sword several times. Countless breakthroughs on the air current shield shook Aiz's body.

Even though Aiz used Ariel without hesitation, her opponent still refused to give up, only using hand-to-hand combat to withstand her onslaught, and was able to turn defense into offense. Aiz's eyes hid her surprise.

Even so, she stared at her.

Because she kept feeling her progress.

Strength, agility, swordsmanship... everything was continuously improved and transformed through the hard training of Breathing Techniques and swordsmanship today. Level 6 would surely be broken through after a fight like this!

The enemy slowly realized Aiz's breakthrough, especially after they felt the combination of wind magic and swordsmanship like wind blades becoming increasingly terrifying.

The red-haired woman narrowed her green left eye and was determined to take the final step.

The next moment, her figure became blurry. She avoided Aiz's sword slash and hit her with a punch that pierced the strong wind. This punch almost perfectly penetrated her flaw and hit Aiz's body hard.

Aiz was forced to step back and become confused. She adjusted her posture according to the strength of the wind she controlled, but her opponent's movements were faster.

The red-haired woman's left hand was bleeding, and she stepped forward towards Aiz with her long sword raised high.

A chill ran down Aiz's entire body. The enemy raised her long sword and slashed at the same time. The sword slashed diagonally from the left, breaking through the defense and strong wind flow from Desperate, and the cold sword almost pierced Aiz's body.

At that moment, Shun's teachings echoed in her ears again.

"The Eighth Form is to attack forward and then use the wind's power to circle around and slash the enemy, tearing apart their body, while simultaneously rolling up a powerful force. The spiral wind blade around the body."

"Only those who truly control the wind can use it perfectly. And for you who have Ariel, this is commonplace!"

Strong winds gathered at her feet. Aiz stepped back slightly, then suddenly drew the sword in her hand.

The sword bloomed like a blue storm.

The swords of both sides clashed, and there was a loud explosion.

The red-haired woman's eyes widened in disbelief. Desperate in Aiz's hand actually pierced her body! In terms of physical strength, even Level 6 Finn was slightly inferior to her. She had a body that was the same as a monster... She was defeated by the Sword Princess!

The red-haired woman stumbled for a moment, but then her eyes showed the cruelty of the "dead" person. She died once and became a monster. She didn't think about this failure. With her strong body, she endured the severe pain and drove Aiz away.

She then ran away quickly, despite her injuries. The red-haired woman ran across the wilderness towards the western edge of the island. She only looked back at Aiz with her left eye, then took a step without hesitation and jumped off the cliff.

With furrowed brows, Aiz immediately stopped at the edge of the cliff and leaned forward to see. She saw her running on the stone wall towards the lake. As Finn and Riveria rushed to her side, the woman's figure was already as small as a pebble and blended into the darkness of the night.

Soon after, there was a splash of water in the lake.

Aiz didn't continue the chase; in fact, being able to defeat her opponent just now had exhausted all her strength and magical power.

Especially since the other party was swimming and moving at the bottom of the lake, Aiz couldn't see the figure from the side of the cliff no matter how hard she looked. After the other party hid their presence here, she wouldn't be able to catch up.

The 18th Floor was so vast. Vast grasslands, wetlands, and forests. There were many places to hide. She wouldn't be able to find her if she searched casually.

The red-haired woman had long been classified as "weird." Even a Level 5 adventurer like Aiz wasn't very familiar with the dungeon.

Moreover, Aiz knew that she was almost exhausted at the moment, and...

"Shun, I feel it. I've reached the realm of Level 6."

She turned and looked at the battlefield where the young man and the Fallen Spirit were fighting.

"You should level up too, right?"

❀❀❀

The giant looked like a giant octopus. More than ten tentacles were transformed into piranha monsters, and each leg twisted and writhed as if it had its own independent consciousness. There was a colorful body above the base of the legs – the upper body was shaped like a woman's body. From a distance, the whole picture looked like a half-human, half-octopus that was said to be sleeping on the edge of the beach.

The faceless female monster produced by the parasite from the Fallen Spirit was no weaker than a Level 5 adventurer.

Even the Goliath that had been defeated before was not enough in front of this faceless female monster.

Inside its body, this Level 6 Fallen Spirit clone felt a crisis for the first time.

Without hesitation, the Fallen Spirit clone swung its long, snake-like leg and slammed into Shun. Its power was no weaker than the collapse of a building.

The sun's spiritual power in Shun's body surged wildly, and as it rushed out, it was injected into the magic sword in his hand. The sword, wrapped in red flames, exploded with flames and suddenly burst into a large, blazing sword.

The long-legged, large whip came, with a cracking sound that almost exploded in the air, echoing with the flaming sword in Shun's hand.

However, for a moment, the attacks from both sides collided with great force.

*BANG!*

The two momenta made a loud, distorted sound at the moment of impact, causing the ground around them to crack layer by layer, even the atmosphere exploded for the second time like a powerful water jet, plowing the ground around it.

The ground shattered into pieces.

Black smoke billowed, orange flames blazed.

The first uniform exchange made the adventurers on the 18th Floor widen their eyes.

Not many adventurers in Orario were unfamiliar with the name Sun Eater.

Especially the handsome face and extraordinary temperament of the other party, anyone who had seen him would never forget him.

However, if they remember correctly, Shun had just leveled up to Level 3 not long ago, right?

A Level 3 adventurer fought directly with a Level 6 monster with his physical body and swordsmanship, and under this attack, he was not harmed at all!

The atmosphere, which was initially panicked, suddenly became dense, and the hopeful adventurers looked at the man with hope.

At the same time, the Fallen Spirit clone howled. It seemed to groan in pain and chanted a spell. Only after the magic circle appeared from above it did many adventurers realize the danger.

*BILIBILI!*

Countless electric currents suddenly gathered and compressed into blue light, shining like grains formed by lightning.

Then, the Fallen Spirit clone launched its magic without hesitation.

The dazzling blue light was like a cannonball that destroyed everything, evaporating the air as it shot towards Shun.

At the same time, the long, pillar-like legs tore through the air and slashed at Shun fiercely.

Even a Level 5 adventurer would surely not be willing to bear such an attack. After being touched, the only way to save their lives was to rely on a potion to recover from their injuries.

If he wasn't considering the feat, Shun had many ways to deal with it, but considering the feat, he could only use the power of the Gale.

As the strong wind appeared, he used the Forward Slash skill like blue thunder.

Amidst the deafening roar, the gust of wind spread in all directions. It shattered the ground and billowed the atmosphere, causing the ground beneath Shun's feet to collapse and explode into countless debris.

At the moment of the explosion, his figure glowed with magic and disappeared before everyone.

The next moment, the figure carrying the power of wind and thunder appeared in front of the Fallen Spirit clone.

Under that terrifying power, the Fallen Spirit clone only had time to dodge and avoid its own vital point, and then was swallowed by the slash carrying the strong wind. Under this slash, the Fallen Spirit clone was in pain, and saw the long, python-like legs cut off from its body and scattered on the ground.

But at the same time, many of the Fallen Spirit clone's tentacles pierced Shun. The adventurers in the square had just seen what kind of massacre the tentacles sharper than spears had made several times, and they all immediately issued a reminder.

Tiona, who was blocking the piranha flowers, almost threw her own sword to help Shun withstand the attack.

Riveria also turned her head, and she kept chanting the spell in her mouth and could send it out at any time.

"Takema-sama, be careful!" Lefiya, who couldn't catch her breath, shouted nervously.

However, as the wind and lightning subsided, a cluster of sun flames ignited.

Seeing this scene, all the girls who witnessed Shun's crusade against the Floor Boss showed shock.

No matter who it was, they would never forget the scene at that moment.

At this moment, Shun completed the cycle of Sun Breathing, from form one to twelve.

He swung his sword more aggressively, full of murderous intent, like a dragon emerging from the flames. Amidst the screeching sound of the wind, this power was fully displayed in this movement.

Sword light blazed, and each sword light that came like a dragon was directed at the Fallen Spirit clone's vital point in front of him.

After the long sword slash was deflected, the slash quickly returned and continued to press.

One slash was faster than the other.

After exerting ten percent of his power, he gathered twenty percent of his power, including the continuous murderous intent that even Tsukiguni Yoriichi, the founder of this swordsmanship, would be amazed when he saw it.

Because it was no longer just Sun Breathing swordsmanship.

Shun's mastery of Sun Breathing had stood on the shoulders of his predecessors and gone further!

As the strong wind blew, the wind and fire continued, which helped the fire dragon continue to rise higher and higher. It felt like breaking free from shackles, roaring recklessly, turning all the tentacles into ashes.

The unmatched dark magic sword went straight ahead and cut through the Fallen Spirit clone's body.

The fragments of the body flew into the air and turned into ashes with a purple-blue light like a dream.

The monster's corpse melted into the atmosphere and disappeared without a trace.

Shun saw a yellow magic stone among them and reached for it.

He took a deep breath.

He knew that this promotion to Level 4 was enough.

However, the new gray skill on the skill bar in the Roulette caught his attention.

[Sun Breathing Fourteenth Form·? ? ? (Unnamed) (+)]

"Wait!"

"I just got some ideas about the combination of Wind Breathing and Sun Breathing, why did you come out of that skill directly?"

Shun looked at this dark gray skill with surprise, and an idea suddenly popped into his mind.

"Gray represents abilities that have not been illuminated and learned. As soon as I got the idea, I condensed it into a gray skill. Does that mean... this is my perfect version of the fourteenth form after the fusion?"

"Then, shouldn't I create swordsmanship and combine swordsmanship in the future? As long as there is a slight possibility, if a gray skill appears on the panel, I can directly add points to upgrade it?"

Shun suddenly saw the description of Sword Sublimation on his panel.

[You will become the hope to enter the world of divine swordsmanship as a mortal]

"Could this be what it means?!"
