Bab 1752: Sudden Break

Knowing that he wasn't crazy, Ryu calmed down immediately. The effect of the hidden cancer in his mind wasn't nearly strong enough yet to suppress his true temperament just yet. Now that he had confirmed that it was there, it was even easier to suppress the restless feelings in his heart. 

'This is a bit tricky…'

The cancer was subtle, so it didn't affect him too obviously. But the tradeoff for that was that it was buried deep. It was hard to tell where it started and where it ended, and because of that, it was difficult to grasp just where his own soul started and finished. 

However, Ryu's lip curled a moment later. 

In that case, he just wouldn't guess at all. 

A sharp aura flashed in Ryu's soul and a tearing pain erupted. 

The sound of something ripping apart echoed in his ears and even the surroundings. 

Ryu paled instantly. No matter how flexible his soul was, ripping away a part of it was still a blow he couldn't easily shrug off.
