Jiho, unaware of Dojin’s plan, remained at the safe zone as requested, focusing on radiant guiding. As he concentrated, pink-hued energy began to flow from his body. It was such a striking sight that the guides nearby could only stare blankly at Jiho for a moment. “Ah! That’s right, guiding!” “Oh…!” Snapping out of it, they hurriedly resumed guiding. From a distance, it hadn’t been clear, but up close, the reality of how badly the battle was going hit hard. That’s all…- 289.6 K • Completed
Grrrrraaaah! The monster, enraged at being interrupted mid-feast, let out a furious roar. At first, the humans’ interference had been merely annoying, but now it was starting to genuinely infuriate it. As the monster grew more violent in its resistance, it was the humans who began to shed blood. “Aaaagh!” “Just a little longer!” “Hold the line, hold–!” The espers were being torn apart, quite literally. Bodies were strewn all over the ground at their feet. Most were…- 289.6 K • Completed
Kwak Jiheon, who had been assisting the escort team near the safe zone, came looking for Dojin after hearing his radio transmission. In front of everyone who had gathered around him and Jiheon, Dojin explained the weakness of the monster he had seen. “I saw its core. It was located deep in its throat, near the esophagus.” He pointed to a spot on his neck. It was a place that couldn’t be seen unless the creature’s jaw was completely blown off, just like before. The monster’s body was…- 289.6 K • Completed
Boom! Bang! Groooaaaar Explosions rang out one after another, accompanied by the monster’s eardrum-shattering howls. Between them, the growls of other monsters and the desperate cries of the espers fighting to hold them back all mixed together in a chaotic mess. ‘What is going on…?’ Jiho watched the situation unfold with bated breath alongside the other guides. Thankfully, just when the safe zone had been half-destroyed and monsters began pouring in, Yulchan had appeared and…- 289.6 K • Completed
The monster may have been slow, but there was no way to stop it from moving where it wanted. Just what in the world was its body made of? Boom! Bang! Even after countless espers unleashed attacks on it, not a single scratch appeared on its body. “Do everything you can to slow it down! We need to buy time!” Dojin led the espers in focusing all their efforts on impeding the monster’s movement. It was the best they could do for now. The other espers gritted their teeth and continued…- 289.6 K • Completed
The espers, sensing they couldn’t avoid the monster’s gaze, lit flames across the area. It was a battle they would have to face anyway, so it was best to eliminate unnecessary variables. Thanks to that, they were finally able to see the monster’s form more clearly, no longer hidden in darkness. Grrrrrr From the creature’s gaping mouth spilled dark red blood, along with chunks of flesh and fragments of bone. Its howl was enough to rupture eardrums. Even Dojin grimaced and covered one ear…- 289.6 K • Completed
That night, no one slept a wink. Not knowing when the monster might reappear, everyone stayed on high alert. It wasn’t until dawn began to break that people slowly began to let their guard down. Even so, the sky remained overcast with dark clouds, making it no brighter than early evening. Still, it felt like they had gotten through a major hurdle. Sehun approached Dojin, who was silently tending his spear while leaning against the wall of the Safe Zone. “Do you think that monster was the boss…- 289.6 K • Completed
With solemn expressions, the exploration team had set out, but they returned only half a day later, empty-handed. “This is strange. It’s too quiet.” All they could see around them were sheer cliffs, mountains, snowdrifts, and heavy, dark clouds. At first, the absence of monsters had been a relief. But as the hours passed without encountering a single thing, the silence began to feel ominous. “There’s just too much snow to find any traces.” The unrelenting blizzard seemed…- 289.6 K • Completed
Before he knew it, Dojin’s hands had clenched tightly into fists. His knuckles trembled. His short nails dug into his palms, but he felt no pain. Only heartache. He looked at Jiho with reddening eyes, gritting his teeth. “……” As if sensing Dojin’s gaze, Jiho turned to him with the same smiling face. “…Hyung!” A brighter smile bloomed over his clear features. Jiho asked the people around him for a moment and ran straight over to Dojin. He rushed right up to him and threw…- 289.6 K • Completed
Kwak Jiheon sat with his secretary in the viewing seats overlooking the training field. On one side of the room, a cluster of espers sat together, and in the center stood Baek Dojin, facing off against a swarm of S-class monsters generated by the simulation system. “Weren’t they all supposed to be training?” “Uh… yes. That’s what I saw when I checked…” Jiheon and his secretary exchanged awkward looks. Regardless, Dojin began skillfully swinging a spear taller than himself as he…- 289.6 K • Completed
