During the battle with the monster, Hae Gijun’s glasses had fallen off. The round glasses had a small crack on the right side but were still usable.ae0c5875133067c3

“Ugh. What’s with these strong lenses? Can you even see?”101a8953e005e5d4

The glasses were so strong that they caused dizziness up close. While Lee Donghun’s vision wasn’t exceptional, it was far from needing such strong lenses. It felt less like a high prescription and more like something was being forcibly obscured.2a6175d41bec5087

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?d4902e4de76bb64c

Everyone flinched and began to move. After facing the monster and a fierce battle, they desperately needed a safe place to stay. If they were still wandering when the monsters’ aggression increased at night, they were as good as dead.33f81f6ed3d4248a

It was a pity that only three mana bullets remained… But Gijun decided to stay positive. He had killed the monster with just three shots.f70a6e7b84655ff2

If it took three bullets to kill one monster, could the next hunt be the same? He’d plan for it but also consider failure. Finding more usable weapons would be good…c81ebeb46b141997
