Hae Gijun stood before the gate. Now he understood why the other world had responded to Baek Sunwoo’s bargain.

As a child, Hae Gijun couldn’t handle his ability. The power that naturally manifested from the moment he began to think was too much for a child to control.

Somehow, Hae Gijun was now next to Baek Sunwoo. Taking advantage of the links’ hesitation when the monster was summoned, he had approached him.212d08dda3feeeea

Though the links moved quickly at Yeon Mijeong’s shout, Hae Gijun swung his staff. To create distance, the end of his staff shimmered with blue mana. For a moment, it took the shape of horns before disappearing.cb9647f75f367803

“Cough. Damn it, this is hard.”cab13fedc9d5db29

Blood mixed slightly with the cough Gijun spat out. He had tried to shape mana into a weapon, but it only briefly formed a shape. He had previously received a brief explanation about mana shaping from Baek Sunwoo and thought it would be easy after his awakening, but it wasn’t at all.f41e58855ed422cf

It felt like gathering e74f166d15 the mist around him, e0a696d90a solidifying it, and molding bb56100357 it into the shape b04dc3e61f of a weapon. He was b95df76f94 amazed at 2ed8eb70bf how Baek 5c86027629 Sunwoo had ca9a7aa10f managed to c8258831dc create over 598ebb7eff a dozen 36b76854b3 mana chains.8f95ad2aab48d983

But even that brief mana shaping was enough to threaten the links. They hesitated, unable to accurately gauge the awakened one’s power.c8b827f722b3a10a

Gijun bit his c735a7aefc lip and cut d519c338ec the rope binding a4e56c4548 Baek Sunwoo. Even drawing on 8a1fc2003b mana briefly made 8ab7d8fdcf him dizzy.445ebb2c5123806b

Finally freed, Baek Sunwoo looked up at him with a bewildered expression. Though the horns that had appeared on Gijun’s forehead when he awakened had vanished, Baek Sunwoo had clearly seen them.64ef8fa69b4623a4

Hae Gijun 0e7a46eaa7 was an e11bea0673 awakened one e9e3ad1179 and the 7c6b7af846 prophesied being.d466100ac7277a3a

“Baek Sunwoo, I need your help.”b3902696ea8460cf

Gijun said, wary 4cc190442a of the approaching 729c8be8b2 links. Baek Sunwoo, though unsteady, d3964fdd43 nodded firmly as he 4825e19527 stood up.4fc5d7aa6ad30d61

As Gijun outlined his plan, Baek Sunwoo’s eyes grew clearer and filled with determination. Seeing this change, Gijun frowned. He sensed the resolve Baek Sunwoo had made.93355957017f03a9

“Hey. Do it with the will to live.”b9464353555159c1

Gijun interrupted coldly. Baek Sunwoo’s eyes looked like those of someone prepared to die. In his current state, if he acted with the resolve to die, he would indeed die. It was absurd to see the determination of someone who had even sacrificed his soul to save him.bb6cc1203f85c7b6

Reflecting on this, Gijun a400b55ff6 suddenly asked a question cfea248e5c that seemed out of 17545e95a9 place.b7da0a23ea98f605

The other world had ultimately agreed to the bargain because Hae Gijun’s life, the life of the prophesied being, was at stake. But at the time, Baek Sunwoo hadn’t realized Gijun was an awakened one and had still pleaded to save him.8328ad8ec7f0c8ab

Hae Gijun found it strange. Why had Baek Sunwoo asked to save him instead of himself? Even in his memories, Baek Sunwoo had nearly wiped out the links. The search party would have found him if he had just stayed there…329b03901283802e

Baek Sunwoo blinked slowly. He seemed 527fbeb1b0 a bit e4a9d22733 surprised and 4ecd878a24 flustered by 3210a16882 the question, 4ee05a06de his lips 91be27d8cd moving slightly.e31a5aba7505c42c

He mumbled so softly that it was barely audible. Gijun still didn’t understand, but his attention was drawn to the approaching links.8977582fea4316d2

“Then do it with the resolve not to lose. If you die, you lose everything, so stay focused.”5138a83fb278fd4a

His firm voice sounded cold, but Baek Sunwoo held his breath and looked at Gijun. A faint smile appeared on his pale face. Though he didn’t answer aloud, Gijun read the response in his smile and turned his gaze away.856760db9c32aa73

They knew Baek Sunwoo was exhausted, but they couldn’t let their guard down completely. An S-rank ability user affiliated with H.N. Baek Sunwoo was the one they had been most wary of while preparing for this school trip.302268eb86de93bb

As the monster approached, the air grew hotter, and the entire space vibrated. The building shook as if it would collapse, and the overwhelming presence made the links tremble. Even knowing the monster’s attack wasn’t directed at them, the natural fear of facing the top predator enveloped them.9698e0188e8de261
