114. 24th Floor. Guides of Sin (3) Taesan raised his head at the approaching presence.
"Hello?"
"You're younger than I thought?"
"Appearances don't matter. Still... he is young. Twenty at most?"
The Guides of Sin observed Taesan with a relaxed demeanor. Taesan counted their numbers. After the fourth person, no more appeared.
"Only four?"
He had thought all the Guides of the Third Rank would come. Knowing that Taesan had defeated Zagan from the second rank, and considering Horion's death, the correct judgment would have been for all of them to come down. But there were only four.
[They've been stuck in this place for decades. I don't know about the past... but now, all their strength has faded.]
"I thought they'd all come... but it doesn't matter."
Whether there were many or few of them, it meant nothing to him. A woman awkwardly waved her hand.
"Uh... Hero. Hello?"
[Nice to meet you, but we're not really on greeting terms, are we?]
"That's true."
The eyes of the Guides, who had smiled awkwardly, began to harden. In an instant, the air grew sharp with tension. Taesan drew his sword.
[You have activated Reconnaissance.]
[Hajin Roia] [Level: 65] [Health: 3165] [Equipped Weapon: Spear] [Subjugated One.]
A man with brown hair and Arabian features. He held a trident and was glaring at Taesan.
[Baben Luata] [Level: 65] [Health: 2995] [Equipped Weapon: Dagger] [Subjugated One.]
