Choe Da-in hurriedly made a gesture to us behind her while panicking.
It meant to get away from our seats and run.
Han Seo-ah, who saw the gesture, hurriedly came out, met my eyes, and asked what I thought.
Certainly, the enemies were quite skilled, and we didn’t know exactly how big their forces were.
It might be better to step back for now and join up with Yoo Tae-jin’s party for rescue.
However, it was obvious what would happen to her if she was left alone.
Besides, to be honest, it wasn’t like I didn’t have any confidence.
「𝙎𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩.」
Ring!
【Han Kang-yoon】
▶Level 37
▶Ability Scores
【Stamina: C+(B)】
【Spiritual Power: B(B+)】
【Spellcraft: B-】
【Mental Strength: A-】
▶Traits (5/10)
【Shadow Assimilation (S)】
【Spirit Absorption (A)】
【Challenger (B+)】
【Mental Spellbook (B)】
【Revived Person (B-)】
━The effect of the Companion (S) trait is being applied.
━The effect of the Challenger (B+) trait is being applied.
Since Han Seo-ah was right next to me, my lacking ability scores were being supplemented by the effect of her Companion trait.
On top of that, thanks to facing an opponent with a higher level than me, the Challenger trait was also activated.
If my increased ability scores and my ability as a ranker in PvP were combined, even if the opponent was a 2nd-grade exorcist or higher, it wasn’t impossible to win.
「𝙄𝙩’𝙨 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙩𝙝 𝙖 𝙩𝙧𝙮.」
As I felt recently in the fight with Guilford, my current battle sense is extraordinary. In terms of numbers, it was almost at its peak.
Adjusting the interval to the point of being close, reading the flow of battle, and even using the difficult techniques I used in PvP when I was a ranker weren’t difficult to reproduce.
I checked the enemies’ ability scores and traits once again and simulated a virtual battle in my head several times.
And when the enemies all knelt before the image I created in my head not long after.
I slowly drew spiritual power from deep within my body.

About 2 years ago.
When Choe Da-in was first sucked into the Eternal Labyrinth, she had encountered Woo Ki-bum’s party when she didn’t even know where she was.
「. . . . . . .」
At first, she had followed them without knowing what was going on, but she ended up being subdued by them when they revealed their true colors and was on the verge of facing a perilous situation.
「𝘼𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙢𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩, 𝙄 𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝𝙩 𝙞𝙩 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙧.」
Woo Ki-bum, who had charged in a fit of rage with a wound on his abdomen from her resistance, ran towards her. Realizing what was about to happen to her, Choe Da-in decided to commit suicide at that moment.
It was none other than Yoo Tae-jin who saved her.
「. . .𝙏𝙝𝙖𝙩’𝙨 𝙬𝙝𝙮 𝙞𝙩’𝙨 𝙢𝙮 𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙚.」
She had expected that they wouldn’t interfere with their exploration at the very least if they wanted to live together in this place, but that was a naive thought.
Besides, the fact that they said they had acquired new forces to rival Yoo Tae-jin bothered her for some reason.
That’s why Choe Da-in tried to sacrifice herself to let the children escape and have them convey the situation to Yoo Tae-jin.
Whoosh.
“Spirit Bullet!”
Bang!
However, despite her attack, Woo Ki-bum blocked Choe Da-in’s attack all too easily and subdued her.
Bang!
Rumble!
Crack!
“. . .Tch.”
“Did you really think you were something just because you were with Yoo Tae-jin? Let me make this clear. Without him, you guys are just a bunch of nobodies.”
Defense against the attack, counter, and incapacitation through a binding spell.
The series of actions was so fast and precise. She knew it, but Woo Ki-bum was indeed a strong opponent that Choe Da-in couldn’t possibly handle.
“You said you were going to escape the labyrinth, but you’ve been content with maintaining the status quo? It’s been 2 years since then, but nothing seems to have changed.”
Woo Ki-bum, who let out a mocking laugh, grabbed Choe Da-in’s hair, which was bound all over her body.
Grab!
“Ugh!”
“Just you wait. I won’t let you die easily. This time, even Yoo Tae-jin won’t be able to save you.”
Even while being held captive, she gritted her teeth and glanced in the opposite direction, but Han Kang-yoon and Han Seo-ah hadn’t escaped.
Choe Da-in bit her lip at her own powerlessness, which couldn’t even buy her time.
“. . .I’ll do anything. Let the children go.”
“Hey, hey. You’re still not in your right mind even after saying that? You’re in no position to make offers to us.”
As he said that, Woo Ki-bum gestured towards the direction where Han Kang-yoon and Han Seo-ah were. Then, the underlings approached the two with sinister smiles.
“These two are pretty good too. This is lucky.”
“Heehee. Hehe. This damn labyrinth sometimes does things I like.”
Choe Da-in naturally frowned at the vulgar conversation.
Those two weren’t much compared to Woo Ki-bum, but they had still lived long lives.
There would be a simple difference in strength, and even if that wasn’t the case, they would definitely be tough opponents for the two, who didn’t have much real-world experience.
「𝘽𝙪𝙩 𝙬𝙝𝙮. . . . . . ?」
Strangely, the two of them didn’t seem that shaken. If they had realized the immediate crisis, that would never be the case.
As Choe Da-in felt a sense of discomfort at that, Han Kang-yoon, who had stopped Han Seo-ah from getting into a battle stance, stepped forward.
“Try touching us if you’re confident.”
“What?”
“I’ll warn you in advance. If we fight, I’ll kill you.”
It was a statement that made no sense at all. Everyone’s expressions were filled with doubt, and Wang Yong, who was at the front, burst into laughter and put his hand on Han Kang-yoon’s shoulder.
“Kukuku. Are you so flustered that you’ve lost your mind? Okay, I touched you. Now what are you going to do about it?”
Even though the crisis was right in front of him, Han Kang-yoon didn’t do anything special. He just quietly looked at Wang Yong like that.
But at that moment. Han Kang-yoon’s shadow exploded, and something with a piercing gaze emerged from it.
Rustle.
Swooosh!
『Growwl─!』
A black beast, resembling a giant panther, wrapped its wriggling shadow around its body and instantly bit Wang Yong’s waist.
Crack!
“Kyaaagh─!”
The nearby comrades panicked, and Woo Ki-bum also turned his head and fixed his gaze on Han Kang-yoon.
And then, in Han Kang-yoon’s shadow at some point.
Dozens of eerie eyes stared at Woo Ki-bum’s party.
