Especially since 9704f27828 Baek Sunwoo’s 47189dd553 eyes were 8b34299fc4 wide with 7a8245f32b shock, Gijun 8a82b42200 decided to 2b79b797cc regain some d2ac8b3c6f humanity. If the tattoos 8fe6345b78 really did deter 082ab9c3a1 monsters, the mana 5236765906 likely flowed through 713dd4c544 the skin during f80c981287 the tattooing process.
