597,

Cyclone got himself a hoodlum.

Even in a world of swords and magic, relying solely on fists limits one's strength.

But for some reason, Cyclone now felt a glimmer of hope.

Perhaps the worst was already behind him, and the scars on his back were gradually numbing.

At this moment, Cyclone believed there was nothing more miserable than a whipping.

With a clear goal and decisive action, Cyclone returned once again to the underground sewers to keep his wife away from all trouble.

Having just escaped the land of death, he was back there once more.

This action alone demonstrated Cyclone's determination.

Yuna, who was hiding nearby, hesitated upon hearing Cyclone's resolve.

Seeing Cyclone covered in wounds, she should have stepped forward to tend to his injuries.

But upon hearing Cyclone's determination, she felt that continuing not to trust her own husband would only ruin the entire plan.

Initially, it was just for Elyse alone, Yuna had once doubted the necessity of the current plan.

To drive Elyse out of the house, crazily fulfill Cyclone's desires alone in bed, and make Cyclone forget about other women with her skills in bed.

Alternatively, Yuna could act alone and kill the Twilight King to directly end this troublesome origin.

Both options could solve the problem, but neither considered the future of others.

This fundamental difference in thinking between Cyclone and Yuna showed that they were considering entirely different things.

Cyclone would not abandon the wife he had chosen, just as he had never abandoned Yuna in the past.

To prevent Yuna from once again becoming an enemy of the people, Cyclone decided to enlist the help of the High Priest to deal with King Kakar.

Everything was for the one they loved.

And as Cyclone said, all calculations had to be settled all at once.

In pursuit of this ideal goal, Cyclone chose this path.

Looking up at the moon, Yuna pondered deeply.

On the other hand, Cyclone made his way back to the arena through the underground sewers.

This time, Cyclone walked straight up to the heathens.

Unlike before where he had no chance to speak, this time Cyclone could finally talk.

Casually and easily, he used the prearranged dialogue to lure his opponent.

"I have a weapon that can overthrow the Water Shrine. Please let me see King Kakar once."

Taking the initiative, although the target person was suspicious, his subordinates were not.

One of Cyclone's sentences turned into the most potent weapon in order to achieve success.

By simply deceiving the trust of several heathens, he obtained the opportunity to notify King Kakar.

Eventually, he also received permission for an audience.

Cyclone once again had the opportunity to face King Kakar head-on.

"I never expected you to come back?" King Kakar had to admit this time.

In adversity, Cyclone managed to turn the tables once again.

In a short time, Cyclone found himself on level ground with King Kakar.

This change was enough to impress King Kakar.

"We don't need to waste words anymore; those probing behaviors are idiotic."

Words were spoken this way, but this was the most futile opening move for Cyclone.

Because this was the beginning of the probing game.

Cyclone spoke directly, filling his words with realism and a sense of "this is the truth."

Yes, no more lies; that would be the biggest lie.

"Your plan is bound to fail because the Water Shrine High Priest has long known about your Great Dragon scheme!!"

Cyclone spoke especially loudly, not only for King Kakar to hear but also for the other heathens present.

The battle of words led by Cyclone had officially begun.

Amidst the worst start, the first counterattack was finally launched.

And this strike could possibly be the strongest of Cyclone's lifetime.
