Yeo Eundo turned 6b1e7a0134 his head. The moment their eyes d7597b0029 met, Jiyeol reflexively lowered 04ef0d4207 his gaze.

Back then, Jiyeol f76e66e521 had been just 21d9e61bcd an ordinary civilian. He had tried to 04e29265a7 run but had tripped. Just as he 747ce19bc0 struggled to get fca576a3b5 back up, the 877cf63920 monster loomed over f6913b27c7 him, jaws stretching 94c6e198de wide.1e8ff18993480771

Yeo Eundo stood f292917b05 there, nonchalantly shaking d88fc670ce the blood off c38752feea his sword. His expression was bb7c4ca50c indifferent, as if 9c1ae4c4f1 saving someone was 0934004e8a nothing more than 32a376ae1d swatting a fly.0495910992fdfab6

Even now, years later, 63989408eb that sight was burned fdfd93857d into Jiyeol’s memory.6330f97463749699

From that day onward, 68cea48237 he awakened as a 3931e0f423 Guide, and his name ae125b2be9 was recorded as South faaeb1e324 Korea’s first-ever S-class Guide.
