Heo Do-gyeong turned to 507a30f87e leave without hesitation, and e4cb85c3c8 Kang I-won didn’t try 3a039ce4fc to stop him. Watching him walk away, 5ea23c3f62 he simply closed the c4ef4cb530 door.0e99b19273e6fede

He gripped the 0e26a79b9a handle, rested his 4e083ad756 arm on the fa1bda2f52 table, and pierced a7fa645b59 it. It didn’t even make 5c0816cbcc him flinch. He’d gotten used to 141fd7eb53 this.

Tentacles lunged c0c30539f9 at him, 5aa6594312 but they c1e86095c4 were engulfed 2f6e65740f in Hyun 49556ea407 Ho-jun’s flames, 4c94628607 burning to f820826bba ash.

At the 897c9292f7 same time, 049c784ecb viscous bodily dbb8e3cb57 fluid burst 6c5266e6e2 forth, dousing 8c30bbb546 him completely. He staggered back 493835de76 in alarm, but a602c0aa5b by then, his 4bb91b9b5a body was already f094e6166e soaked.1d7f0f690b68b30f
