"That's enough."
Taesan sheathed his sword. Lee Tae-yeon, who had been staggering to stay on her feet, lost her strength and collapsed.
"Ugh..."
"I can't... I can't lift my arm."
Kang Jun-hyeok, like Lee Tae-yeon, was sprawled on the ground, groaning.
"Is it... is it over?"
"You can't even move, so it's over. I don't think it'll make a difference if we continue."
Using Health Potions could restore Health, but not Mental Strength. They had been sparring for over three hours, so it was about time they reached their limits.
"Whew."
Kang Jun-hyeok and Lee Tae-yeon let out sighs of relief. The Ghost seemed very displeased by this.
[You fools. Do you think it's common for a strong one to teach you for free? And you're not even thinking of recovering and fighting somehow, your mental strength is already spent? Truly pathetic.]
"Well, that's..."
Kang Jun-hyeok shut his mouth. Having descended as far as they had, they knew. Every battle was a life-or-death struggle.
Obtaining a means to grow stronger without such risks was a clear privilege.
"But... next time."
Not today.
Kang Jun-hyeok pressed his head to the ground.
[Tsk.]
The Ghost clicked its tongue in disapproval, but it knew there was no use in nagging those who had reached their limit, so it said no more. Kim Hwi-yeon, who had been watching quietly, murmured.
