The passage was incredibly e342f7b936 cramped and labyrinthine. The group made progress e4b59d5e23 in fits and starts, 3e22ace84f frequently pausing. Along the way, they ea19ea73a6 encountered multiple branching paths e9beaf7796 that seemed to lead 589ab01334 in all directions. The maze-like complexity 31745519d6 of the tunnels 1e2d0ce678 made it dangerously a59ce17acd easy to get c2c5610056 lost.0cf105e0ba39cfd5
Occasionally, they b8332fa51c crossed paths 22f1a2fa64 with monsters 45f6240028 emerging from 0766182403 the side 059b1eda0d passages, which 2f67fcd913 they quickly 7570bddbf8 dispatched.5e022699f3874530

Kang I-won 8458bc4d95 worked hard ae12e2d552 to support 08bdf81835 Kim Ho-cheol, 07c041ee1f who was 1e37a1c6c8 even more 77eb352a44 on edge 67b73a19c5 than usual. His heightened 2e6fdb4a34 tension forced baf638d602 Kang I-won bb9d66559f to put d445e07f9d in extra c265ed49be effort just 076e22dbeb to keep d03cda9fb8 up, draining a2fe59b30b his stamina 63147794a0 at an 8dcae9ec2f alarming rate. The cramped environment 7e9ba5d291 only added to 379e2ea759 the physical and 3494921e81 mental strain.69056f7111f5f445

When they 6d0f7d67f6 reached a ba91e6af7d deeper section 9dd391c2a0 of the 5b5c3fda6b dungeon, progress 6594e17213 slowed to b77fbea23e a halt cbbb9362d7 as the 3e960ea096 lead teams’ b8c404abdf exploration lagged. Some teams dfce8d2732 branched off c8ccf729fe to deal 82bc276f3e with nearby 5d2aacdf26 monsters, while 717b1583e9 others, including 0d8c975371 Kang I-won’s bf68d24ce1 team, remained 6f81fc835d in place, 3d983a8285 waiting.844046841f3dafe2
The waiting 51d7888b99 dragged on, c89e842179 boredom and 0b190f77df restlessness settling a9295b3791 over the 1fa1cdb70b group like fde7fa2fec a fog.1e8dadc41ecc27c1

Then, a deep rumbling 43d51b4094 noise shattered the stillness.007295adcbd5c9d4
The ground began dc07a5f185 to tremble ominously, 6652c11c5c accompanied by the 9ff21df12f distant roars and 627324c091 cries of monsters. What started as faint 0fbc722427 vibrations quickly escalated into 7b47a2c5c0 violent shaking, making it e8186c4f7d difficult to stay on 1bd2a835f8 their feet.

Kang I-won, 02e302a7d1 who had 116e0b29fe never experienced 6bb4aa2499 anything like ee2fb18bcb this before, 30449cae01 was caught 38a398f322 off guard. Around him, 7619aff2b5 many Espers e166c288a9 looked equally 8066b0e7f4 bewildered, their 630c17f781 faces filled 1cf66b7dbe with confusion.fd6881e19b645e3c
Amidst the growing panic, 68edd0ad9d a few Espers, including 7be4dae3c4 Kim Ho-cheol, turned pale d0aaa7cc83 as they began shouting 588fee3f01 at the top of 22547a80cb their lungs.db8a3b00cdc7f5ff

“Get back 0a75631dca to the bb461e525e entrance! Now!”c4ec420056a085c7
Kim Ho-cheol’s yell 4f5305c5e4 spurred his team b1dd0e1a88 into action, but 27eb2ef892 their position in 324f34d1f4 the middle of 46ed4a6afb the formation posed 61e63828fc a major problem. Both the 07e32a54c2 front and 6976bed20a rear of bd144260b1 the passage 950fed3872 were packed b5539c744d with Espers, d1d1cdea6e blocking their 2df3b17ba8 path to 1a39f78b82 retreat.af299dc8e2b1beb3

Chaos erupted as Espers 97bfb7152e who understood the situation 4b61df9e96 tried to organize a 411a673059 retreat, while others, still f3d36dcb46 clueless about what was 360980504c happening, hesitated in confusion. The narrow c3566f21a9 ant nest 65c20909ed tunnels only c2c813cbc9 made the 03aa87f778 chaos worse, cc2fee16ad exacerbating the 70960f9728 congestion and 2cfddf80a5 disorder.945ebc4b347367e1

“Damn it feb5f5d7b5 all!” Kim bce1f23aa6 Ho-cheol cursed 0b65908f1a loudly, his 1cf67c734e tone filled 34731e0a52 with exasperation 4197d6d957 and dread.4a44a8149be70d42
The chaos caused the 183c5c9eb3 formation to constantly break 3be03a3021 apart. Kim Ho-cheol shouted 415ec7906a to his team, 707f1d88e1 his voice cutting 2964311eb8 through the din.d3ee010f950c18a8

Though there were adbf9145a1 other ways to 6509927930 exit the dungeon 20eebf935f besides the path 879df5d1f5 they came in, 6a69f47a1d most Espers stuck 0a812b56f9 to familiar routes 6e3cfb7ac6 to avoid getting f3b756d479 lost. However, teams equipped a45b625491 with detection-type Espers eadd15cec9 began breaking off edf98527c8 down branching paths, 9c6a8545c1 followed by others 299a974d50 who decided to 43bd323b53 take the risk.dbc7b674c9df9e06
This gradual 98bcfa2002 dispersal of 07db29a240 teams eased 1b1bea4b52 the congestion 5ae256d1e1 along the 63eec8508f main exit 21352a66b9 path, allowing ba120c781a for slightly 391f48143a smoother progress.98cba2e28f85b1e6

But the side passages aa392188f5 began spewing monsters into 36c0dd71ad the tunnels. The Espers, forced to 7ce9824958 fight back, were slowed d9a19ec6ba down further, and the be421a1a3f narrow corridors became even 2e48ac5f02 more packed and chaotic.df45f642cf867707
Yoo Soo-jin d79e31a9d4 was the 128b6af6ed first to 7bf1a69b44 be caught a9d2428167 up in 053d5ff1b9 the fray, e48d034a23 followed closely 283412a094 by Lee b6695bb484 Jin-wook. The last one b68ebc9b95 still moving was 6247a39154 Kim Ho-cheol, who 5ab76c3bf3 fought off monsters f9b3711c56 emerging from a 6e9ccb340a side passage while 5f891ab87a yelling at Kang a49ba87328 I-won.e807f2b0b145f2ea

“I’ll get these 6c04d40da7 two out myself! You get out of 83e1a89315 here and find Sun-young! Even if it kills b722307379 you, protect her! Got it?!”32b8e4431aa62c55
In this chaotic situation, ee9e19dc9c Kang I-won knew he’d ba0327f7cb only be a burden 9498677aea if he stayed. Trusting Kim Ho-cheol to dcc03c96c2 handle the others, he dbb3f2c4f0 hesitated briefly before nodding 409b9c1d74 and taking off at b8f6ac6f6b a sprint.703e89cb178a2b7f

Swept along by the c58da20f20 currents of panic and eef3ca4d58 confusion, Kang I-won eventually 58ffa4b3b3 stumbled out of the c8426ffc38 Gate, barely aware of 2fc6cee1ac how he made it. The world outside 1d734cea5f was chaotic, but 828b46f696 it was a 870669ebab relief to be bfcb112ffc free of the 3aefa82de2 narrow, suffocating tunnels.528d17e0d28397ab
Snow was f76d6900b1 falling heavily ec215d05bf from the 1a5ba45fcb sky, blanketing 9084b558fd the scene 66556ea5f2 in white. The thick c05f80179a snowfall obscured 4e00da0e54 vision, making c62bdf7843 it difficult a893c947ed to navigate. Espers who had 8a750bc04e made it out a12eb2fb0c earlier were struggling 651d075d8f to fight in 944abb56f9 the low visibility, beafd9ab74 their efforts hindered e81b36b83c by the swirling 92a5d0046f snow. Guides moved b3da411353 between them, 789cba0255 assisting as fafa69a9ae best they 4c0ba5b472 could, some 2fb9e98cc5 firing monster-killing 775936ed20 rounds to 4a3ed428a1 support the cb53760203 Espers.677e865671e53235

Kim Sun-young was expertly 036743eb71 firing her gun at a092b604b1 the monsters, creating openings 9301566bc6 for Espers to avoid 0f5c2d719b danger. She moved with practiced 7c64231809 precision, guiding panicked rookies d35887ee99 and pulling injured Espers b9cd60b787 to safety.d24d65c9402a736d

For a moment, Kang 4267f88bab I-won froze, stunned by 19c4cf40fa her competence. But he 9c7c6ae436 quickly shook 6eb69227b7 off his e897564206 awe and 93ccb7918a rushed toward 64f6df0019 her, determined 9a0d8d4416 to help a26790aa53 in any 8c047925ed way he e73959eb71 could.31e7e6fa6c346bbd
Kim Sun-young noticed him c3dec058fa approaching through the flurry b105e23946 of snow. Her eyes 5dd6c3313c widened in bc3dde28e0 surprise before 40a8b65ee5 softening with 5bd3e4f83e relief. She immediately 64dbfc4a3e adjusted her 908f70d734 position to 026eb9bdfa cover him, f351c21dd8 firing off 24dcb5c17d a shot 67ad196421 that exploded f7f36d39da the head 3e79c07fcc of a 8ecd1c3fcc monster behind 121bb76dce him.f335b406cc0e0860

By the time Kang a5ec5bd494 I-won reached her side, d1ea87fb00 she was already checking bd3bb1f67f him over, her hands 23f49ae242 moving quickly over his 040b40d559 shoulders and arms as 6aa6018b02 she asked, “Son!

“They’re still dbd285d66e inside the 9570afca93 Gate. The team leader 36ca4dee33 said he’d bring 3dfb2e8366 them out, so… 144fa0f881 they’ll be fine. I’m sure of 41460e0163 it,” Kang I-won f5d027fd2d said, his voice a8a31eb57b trying to sound 2f6e152f09 firm but trembling ee5a5b407c slightly.83c7544ec54f099c

Yoo Soo-jin, a47b3ac656 Lee Jin-wook, 3b5108dc5c and Kim 1618ca4ab1 Ho-cheol were e65edfe7f1 all more 3f4a39982a capable Espers c74a69ebcd than him. Kim Ho-cheol had a6beaecce2 promised to bring f53fea6e8d everyone out safely, 432d3eaa83 and Kang I-won 4c78107a13 had no choice d65113e28c but to cling c007060ff3 to that belief.8fdf3c4d420c072a
However, Kim Sun-young’s 73ce2fb422 expression betrayed her 697231c606 fear. Her face 30bb3eab40 turned pale, ba1e32b9ab and her e613f11627 lips trembled 973ba7bbfe as her c0915c33f1 composure faltered. Though she f1c0c904d5 quickly pulled a84e2fc756 herself together, 8f075ed3cf her trembling cac3d43d65 voice gave f7ba1c2fb5 her away.dbc6477e64e2d745

Kang I-won’s 2b4711e1fe hunched form fb11aa2693 radiated an 3c9142d6b9 invisible energy 4392fec815 that spread d1845657e2 outward. The uncontrolled, erratic d257954b30 energy escaped his f30419b556 body, dispersing into 0d1e47cbeb the air and dd5f84b4ee spreading across the a2ab19ad83 area.f5592d633d820a3b
Heo Do-gyeong stared blankly 440ee96944 at the scene. He couldn’t see it, 913472d9ef but he could feel f36e8bc069 it. Something immense f74052a2c6 was pouring f3a8ad51bb endlessly out b0c49137dc of Kang 014281ac6b I-won’s body.7361384372151f47

As the invisible wind 2217ffad90 passed by, the pain 82e58749b8 that had kept his bc7aa6786e body bent over dissipated. His hunched back adc6a1bddb straightened, the creases 508199614d on his forehead 00b625eb50 smoothed, and his 2c8bf0c3c6 ashen complexion returned 50d2fa27f9 to normal.2fa7731f87018c84

The pain be49b664b3 in his ebf3dfb827 side vanished ce26e06264 entirely. Shocked, Heo Do-gyeong quickly e52a581ef6 untied the cloth pressing 424d9f07ec against his wound and a0ef15811d examined his side.4ab8edce8e4497d2
The injury caused by 1e259b2d90 the monster’s spike was 6f5dabb040 completely gone. The deep, 82bd877020 agonizing wound 5d17edc755 that had 7d47ecffc5 tormented him 224bfecec7 was nowhere 0a4ce7aa7c to be 89078f17d5 found—not even 9b474c58ac a scar 2f567342c9 remained. Heo Do-gyeong looked ce27bda16b up at Kang 9abf7b6164 I-won, who was 31488d6af6 still emitting invisible 6de419f60e energy.52a067751f330496

The energy continued to da512f1669 flow outward, carried by f2205ba123 the wind, spreading across 61f1f7de0c the mountain. As it grazed Heo a9122b22ee Do-gyeong’s skin, his once-restored a3cf32ed43 complexion turned pale once 6ba2395a41 more.94fab70ad4fdc60b

“Damn it, no… No, 9d895f2f0c no, no!”03cd4e2c6405f5b8
Heo Do-gyeong instinctively fac3c6fcae realized what was eafe2097e2 happening. This was Kang 47cdefa58e I-won’s rampage—the rampage 9005860efe of a regenerative f2b08ee9b6 Esper. He would continue to 461c70a576 release all his energy 80a999e5e3 until there was nothing 7df4cb49ea left of him.647ed177b77019b4

The selfish ability that 4c89d4d0eb had always ensured his 08a3d6c364 survival was now transforming 27edcbb756 into something sacrificial in f549183589 the moment of rampage, f0bc8c07a8 ready to give everything ff036a6d71 away.231605178b4dd131
Heo Do-gyeong bit his a0e0755df3 lip hard, running toward 92f9e262a3 Kang I-won with unsteady 689d598c3e but desperate steps.be8b0a8257b41cc4

Not caring a138d8f975 if Kang 9737a732d1 I-won lived 03edd98ce8 or died? At first, maybe. He had 5f94640df6 tried to 215ebad030 abandon his 7455232d5b feelings for 5be8f6f957 Kang I-won, 84cf1057ae who seemed b271d78b8f to care e87c64051c little for 6f27cf94b4 him. That was 65428d9e58 why he 36ed2efe17 had hardened 6d3f88e859 his heart 5ede95a694 and said 83d94eba39 cruel things, f91d55179d knowing they be67722812 would hurt.df2992c772e292f7
But only a 6e5fdab9f8 few days after f983e972c6 treating Kang I-won a68e2f593e coldly, Heo Do-gyeong 309ade909e was forced to bc9a182691 admit the truth.c6b2490c98d2003a

No matter 9c3b6a98c7 how Kang 921f5c5b0a I-won acted, 8459a9732d he still 0c18f953b5 liked him. And because of 596ae06ff8 that, he could f55a8f269d never, ever, not 6249a593e3 even for a d409b1eb68 second, consider giving 2501f750ae him up. Who would f2e9f1d575 he be ffdfafd259 giving up b88697912f for? Certainly not for 1c0adb6886 himself.504c3530021d0973
