Finally, the 41595c2a3d monster initiated 3ee69e6e8c an attack.4fde2bd68836d1ba

Dodging the 279cf6d4c6 rope, the 7d1ac18abc monster flew 52056c9de5 to the bd0ce7b510 wall and 230a492b56 spewed fire 7b39764aa7 from its 8d933ebaa7 mouth. The flames were 1df9f78ecc so intense that 41cd68ef27 Lee Donghun barely 0a4246edfd dodged to the 02ef7ac609 side.5b455e1a1a61083f

Around that time, Lee Donghun took a deep breath and suddenly lowered his body, sliding next to the flames. Extending one leg, he slipped through the gap and quickly threw the rope. The end of the rope barely caught the leg but slipped off. However, it was enough to stop the monster’s skill.b3f2e09fc71e9ee4

The monster roared and d9cd5cf0ee lunged at Lee Donghun. Though incredibly 7260cae20f fast, Lee e8eb2bc7dc Donghun agilely 10d1b92500 dodged, climbing bf94227375 the wall 13b030cdb8 at an c1de5ce6ad angle and f19b9796d1 jumping to 726d48f51b the other f31a95df7f side.

Lee Donghun grimaced and held the glasses away. With such poor eyesight, how had Gijun captured the monster earlier? Wouldn’t it be hard to move without the glasses?3969f38c7fd1f805
