Chapter 26 - Chapter 17(Part 9)

Shinji: "There's… one more thing I need to tell you."

Everyone looked at him, sensing the shift in his tone.

Shinji: "One day, Kuro vanished. No warning, no signs — he was just gone. People panicked, of course… but then, three years later, Seo Jun disappeared the exact same way."

Shizuku felt a chill crawl down her spine.

Shinji: "A lot of people assumed they fought each other to the death… but that theory makes no sense. If two monsters like them clashed, the entire continent would've felt the shockwaves. Battles of that level shake the land itself."

Jeisuke swallowed hard.

Shinji: "But when they disappeared, there was nothing. No energy spikes. No destruction. No witnesses. Just… silence. Countless investigations were done, but not a single clue was ever found."

Shino: "The fights you mentioned don't scare me… but the disappearance does."

Shinji: "It should. Two of the strongest people in history don't just vanish. Something abnormal happened."

Akaimo: "Maybe they just hated their positions? Maybe they ran away from everything?"

Shinji shook his head instantly.

Shinji: "Impossible. The day Seo Jun was chosen for his role, he cried from happiness. Kuro had a loving family, a stable life. Neither of them had a reason to run."

A moment of heavy silence filled the room.

Shinji checked the clock.

Shinji: "It's already 6 PM. Go home, get some rest. And don't forget—come back tomorrow."

The group nodded and left.

But that night, none of them slept peacefully.

The story of Kuro and Seo Jun kept echoing in their minds…

What could erase two legends without leaving a trace?
