Bab 198: Allotted Time

Ryu's reappearance was shocking, to say the least. Valor City's Circle of Elites was in shambles, but aside from the trouble to their fourth wall, the Mercenary Guild was relatively intact. In fact, many mercenaries were still gathered, excitedly speaking of the events that occurred barely a couple dozen minutes ago.

It was under these circumstances Ryu reappeared. Not only was he obviously not dead, as many had expected after his body was nowhere to found, his condition actually seemed far better than when he first entered the guild earlier that day.

Before, his clothes were ripped in several places, his hair, though still speckless, was unkept, and even his flexible armor showed signs of withering away.

However, the Ryu who appeared now took no attempt to hide his aura. His body seemed several times its actual size. Those here could see the rage boiling within his eyes.
