“I would like to take a break.”

“Whew. Let's regroup.”

At Haesol's signal, Baek Jongdo let out a long sigh as he wiped away the sweat on his forehead.

After he had developed an ability to become an Awakened, he had thought he had walked the hard road as he went around attempting fairly difficult dungeons. However, it felt as if he had been deluding himself up until now.

He had only hunted on Jaku for the past couple days, but he had been pushed to his limit daily. Maybe this was why he saw his abilities actually progress compared to before.

The constant suspense gave him a lot of stress, but the change it caused wasn’t bad.

“How are you doing?”

“Oh. Lil bro Kang. When did you get here?”

When Kang Woojin suddenly appeared, Baek Jongdo greeted him warmly.

“I arrived a little while ago. Anyways, how are you doing?”

“This has been a good stimulus for me.”

“If you want, we can walk the same road.”

At Woojin's words, Baek Jongdo shook his head. He was an outsider, and he shouldn't continue to impose himself upon Woojin's hospitality.

“No. I've already gained a lot from this expedition. Moreover, I have a lot of work to do after I return to the guild.”

“Do as you like then.”

Woojin didn't go out of his way to keep him. If he was short on Awakened, he could just hire more. That was what he did with Sunggoo, Haesol and Blanka.

Baek Jongdo couldn't hide the disappointment...
