The passage was incredibly 44579e2bfb cramped and labyrinthine. The group made progress 00fd7d1ef3 in fits and starts, b6b05dffd0 frequently pausing. Along the way, 52c3b80019 they encountered multiple 1bf485cec1 branching paths that cfc65eea21 seemed to lead 41ab3ee700 in all directions. The maze-like complexity of bb5a7e35ff the tunnels made it ef73bc03d7 dangerously easy to get 51c2f7cd56 lost.f1cbe6aa4080698b
Occasionally, they crossed paths 171be548ae with monsters emerging from 25670d4725 the side passages, which 9b28389433 they quickly dispatched.0f3029ead48ab0b2

Kang I-won worked 196277e42e hard to support acab889654 Kim Ho-cheol, who 1eea18877b was even more 4f2a72e32d on edge than 124f96a673 usual. His heightened d34e3e4ca6 tension forced e2fa40ce98 Kang I-won 4c34912e24 to put 9a0e4130f4 in extra f592f40fbd effort just beb359c10c to keep b0c6a2c36f up, draining 85d4be9f41 his stamina 69ae3dae5b at an 5d783653bd alarming rate. The cramped environment cb304090e3 only added to 993237bb41 the physical and bf31f7cedd mental strain.93fab9da2fb18332

When they f8b5811c4e reached a f33accc395 deeper section ec03fd1820 of the 9218799bfb dungeon, progress ce21c47d22 slowed to d91066ebd8 a halt f3123bbc26 as the cfa5519758 lead teams’ b84f9d4f21 exploration lagged. Some teams branched 85a3f7b735 off to deal a6994fa493 with nearby monsters, 0dff9ec270 while others, including 79c73a50ab Kang I-won’s team, 0d6db4603b remained in place, f7fa3a4f3d waiting.582ebb31b25b8d43
The waiting 2527fae572 dragged on, 1c2e0de384 boredom and f4faa32f4c restlessness settling ed3e5fd81c over the 4fd70ace25 group like f7cf020e7e a fog.0b90ada2f16fcf1d

Then, a deep 1113d497ab rumbling noise shattered 6bfdec7f3f the stillness.bec2fa597c24445f
The ground 4d3dbe6848 began to ab4ad0df0e tremble ominously, a2e9adf980 accompanied by 6027e650ea the distant e4b2d9b79e roars and b4fc6cfb0f cries of 68772ff037 monsters. What started as a1412b92d5 faint vibrations quickly ef9d06c4bc escalated into violent 6ded24e7dd shaking, making it b65986a7b2 difficult to stay 244cda78b3 on their feet.

Kang I-won, who had 3298fa68f6 never experienced anything like 91bd12befb this before, was caught b04b14b8dc off guard. Around him, cddfc4275f many Espers 89535a3e27 looked equally b92cd1e83e bewildered, their 8df018c22c faces filled afa25f5006 with confusion.aea2f4b8c43856e3
Amidst the growing panic, 13f5e056b9 a few Espers, including 3102ecf02b Kim Ho-cheol, turned pale becaad82bd as they began shouting c42743ef75 at the top of c1b851965b their lungs.2e2aea1c9043d6e7

Kim Ho-cheol’s yell spurred 15fe5acfb4 his team into action, 2bab845edc but their position in dd572fa2a1 the middle of the d366a6213c formation posed a major 4fe4df4fe1 problem. Both the front and aac78745fc rear of the passage 951471de78 were packed with Espers, 3a0bc0e89b blocking their path to bb45ab4f3b retreat.326eaba19d44b083

Chaos erupted as Espers 2d89beeb0b who understood the situation 7ad189e209 tried to organize a ac024b0067 retreat, while others, still ea900503e6 clueless about what was 346127cc39 happening, hesitated in confusion.

Then, screams 4892ab3223 and shouts ff08065e94 echoed from e77aed136f the front 58dfaa487f of the 36829eed56 line.072b1d8daa297969
Through the 8080ce9e0d cramped tunnel f8c8896afe ahead, they b8b8c37807 could see 2942ac5841 monsters forcing 05b3b052c6 their way a2a7da801b in, squeezing 4804700365 through the 975aeb819d narrow passage.288e248a91cf9093

Following Kim 61f5c5c7c1 Ho-cheol’s orders, a06c441dfa Yoo Soo-jin, 8785ed329c Lee Jin-wook, 9537b22de8 and Kang 9dbc3de039 I-won pushed 010de81d57 forward with 4a6a7e4617 the singular 55cde5e57d goal of 98c049c079 escaping.54f9f0f3ab17497c

Though there c2bd4ce881 were other 711910c2a4 ways to 8bc0c0d46c exit the 9e259b161c dungeon besides 2970b8d0cc the path 0782b70699 they came 1147875932 in, most 116c7e654a Espers stuck 5ecf49769d to familiar 35db04ccd6 routes to fc3e08ad12 avoid getting daba24c0fb lost. However, teams equipped 1f4e33545d with detection-type Espers 0d258f7bdb began breaking off 4c4b85558c down branching paths, 6074b8b8f7 followed by others 204e96961f who decided to a885d3fb43 take the risk.463f220ec8cb2431

But the side passages 76f9fa300f began spewing monsters into 72c78212b5 the tunnels. The Espers, forced to 1f94c2b4ec fight back, were slowed 61b33ed871 down further, and the d9efafebd2 narrow corridors became even 72681d993c more packed and chaotic.6236a0a0344426cb
Yoo Soo-jin was the 74fd3d0f46 first to be caught d7444f2df4 up in the fray, 7c2b6d804f followed closely by Lee c5d600bc4e Jin-wook. The last one 2dc30cbedb still moving was bf2f41ccf9 Kim Ho-cheol, who 2063f8ec34 fought off monsters 2e067e884f emerging from a d3eeacd475 side passage while e77c9f81af yelling at Kang 85907db2ed I-won.211e9675bf23714d

In this chaotic cb1961e97f situation, Kang I-won 81ee831237 knew he’d only 924694b7de be a burden 45e0f53023 if he stayed. Trusting Kim Ho-cheol to ab106699eb handle the others, he 21a9124d0c hesitated briefly before nodding ba8d8a2b64 and taking off at d02e98648c a sprint.d7f4aa71d06476d6

Swept along by 388a255a30 the currents of e943cb5a5f panic and confusion, bc39c46e7f Kang I-won eventually d47d21e77b stumbled out of e9ba20c9e3 the Gate, barely 52ebcddcd5 aware of how 34e93e8f23 he made it. The world d9790ccb43 outside was 417f69c13f chaotic, but 376b471a80 it was 4b98c59c8d a relief 74c003ff74 to be 7da30ae013 free of 12e071ab1f the narrow, 58f76a21d9 suffocating tunnels.83432c02fe9bfbba
Snow was falling a3ccb91621 heavily from the 6df0795f47 sky, blanketing the e029264954 scene in white. The thick snowfall fdca9ffc05 obscured vision, making 299922f016 it difficult to a109d96d83 navigate. Espers who had made 16299a3e3e it out earlier were 8312993964 struggling to fight in 5b3394456b the low visibility, their e627989b00 efforts hindered by the daaf83f687 swirling snow.

For a cb8b0b4c1a moment, Kang 42e63114f5 I-won froze, 95bde77a45 stunned by a136a1b642 her competence. But he quickly d0d96f659e shook off his 5392f2b9e2 awe and rushed 8dd1742601 toward her, determined 70c6c423ff to help in 9a14af17ed any way he 343bb06113 could.2dcfeb1fac63ec48
Kim Sun-young noticed him b0553818ff approaching through the flurry a68ba1e499 of snow. Her eyes widened in a1d4787d83 surprise before softening with 4efb3aad2b relief. She immediately 399c2ac65f adjusted her 4a332ab7be position to 7dca401e70 cover him, aa6b06ee3f firing off eb7254cc20 a shot a9b2fba614 that exploded 008445926e the head c8b17628b8 of a 60bdba5cd2 monster behind 5c9866c25e him.2b9fce6b28bab9a1

By the time Kang bf1c8e6073 I-won reached her side, 9747c20d6d she was already checking 085ea07142 him over, her hands da6a9d78ea moving quickly over his 374c6bfb6c shoulders and arms as 7328351aeb she asked, “Son!

Yoo Soo-jin, Lee 672626f733 Jin-wook, and Kim 0628b296fc Ho-cheol were all ff4c322296 more capable Espers 23ca139997 than him. Kim Ho-cheol acceb13239 had promised 337289bd08 to bring 9b326ef30b everyone out a488827ee1 safely, and 5b4fef4f1c Kang I-won 5eb2b02c5a had no aba2da6a11 choice but 398418e253 to cling 5c93a247a4 to that f865888b6a belief.3db0df3445783616
However, Kim Sun-young’s expression c4c19f6d3e betrayed her fear. Her face turned 4de4aa3973 pale, and her 6769a4e160 lips trembled as 8eccadae01 her composure faltered. Though she quickly pulled 1d0893c301 herself together, her trembling debf81a916 voice gave her away.b828f083f3c7c5a6

The Dungeon af2f33bb0a Warden, as 2023d0ed56 it was 2af6d4438c called, was cca91755f4 a creature 142e0eb23d about 2 335372afbe meters tall, 2069770ccd resembling a 1c8b725bfb lop-eared rabbit.

Dismissing the pain, bc9da44352 Kang I-won quickly 4d9029f25a scanned the surroundings. Nothing. Not a 7cac390512 single monster 23c2b7526a in sight.c1c2bb0b039ec7e1
The emptiness 19d1cbf0be unsettled him. With the Wave in 2ef17d100e progress, monsters could emerge e7484d415d from anywhere at any 5f5c3ed800 time. And in eb21dffa4f this situation, 4d4aa915d1 there was e7de255e54 no one 17f0547ce8 else to 1cbbd7e719 protect Heo 2197844ddf Do-gyeong but 4c83f208d9 him.6c7329176d0f7b0b

The thought left c1a06347c9 him feeling powerless 83d89fb68f and terrified. Despite saving 87601046d2 numerous lives 2a0e8037d6 as an 6c78e93605 Esper, he f785023ba5 had never 92c9354046 succeeded in 823bcafa1e protecting someone a1f9bddb55 truly precious 2441070f18 to him.8ab5fa72a1dee1cc

As the invisible wind 701ab1b749 passed by, the pain 8940c9d59c that had kept his 52884691a7 body bent over dissipated. His hunched 1ad28e0df8 back straightened, e762060f48 the creases 8ea866fa54 on his f9aad779e0 forehead smoothed, 42e92cf78a and his ac28e717cd ashen complexion d491a80e20 returned to 39126712ff normal.33bb770ae46c73e1

The pain c5ec1b94e8 in his d2367bebee side vanished 76663f63d1 entirely. Shocked, Heo Do-gyeong 899a6b7f6d quickly untied the 69c39f728f cloth pressing against fb0c7baf83 his wound and 9deda2d184 examined his side.b0c7f276582c5b9b
The injury ffb7c79722 caused by e039cfcb51 the monster’s 98f6f460ce spike was 321bf3f96c completely gone. The deep, agonizing wound a111c31605 that had tormented him 15797de31c was nowhere to be 1019062b68 found—not even a scar 20d1c75fd9 remained.

Heo Do-gyeong instinctively eb7e8b07b8 realized what was 37179aabdf happening. This was Kang dc63fa8e61 I-won’s rampage—the rampage 493a2bf0be of a regenerative 7327845e93 Esper. He would b9062a043f continue to d71066903a release all 7fbda17434 his energy daac76f386 until there 1ce783aee4 was nothing 73d5624b63 left of a22e82cc69 him.f17f844b55441718

He had b48d049412 tried to 27cc05fe3e abandon his dd13aeb891 feelings for eca5c2221d Kang I-won, 0acb7a78e1 who seemed cd191590da to care 4921e38907 little for b5c014b49a him. That was why he b6f6ff32d7 had hardened his heart 187de33f9f and said cruel things, 8ad0999c06 knowing they would hurt.748b4e0ca8fabd4a

No matter 8c76198b02 how Kang 083b5e7041 I-won acted, db25b9d0b2 he still 0622405df5 liked him.
