Finally, the monster initiated an attack.ace1c7272d5356f66d2a

Dodging the rope, the monster flew to the wall and spewed fire from its mouth. The flames were so intense that Lee Donghun barely dodged to the side.a838a56b71eff14212a8

The flames were large enough to engulf a person. The ferocity made Gijun, watching from behind, squint. There were no sprinklers here. If it kept spewing fire, closing the distance would be difficult…22850acb4964a910ad40

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.285bd67c2028b79be562

The monster roared and lunged at Lee Donghun. Though incredibly fast, Lee Donghun agilely dodged, climbing the wall at an angle and jumping to the other side. The quick movement momentarily confused the monster, creating an opening.022dcebd12677c7ac730

While Gijun admired this, Baek Sunwoo quickly threw the rope. But it narrowly missed, and the monster’s anger was visibly growing.72938b16cdddc9e5cdb3
