- Volume 5, Chapter 20, 120. Deciding the King (1) And the people of Yongin, those of Easy and Normal Mode, were somewhat stiff. With a gloomy atmosphere, they refused to speak with others. The only ones who seemed confident were those from Hard Mode.
"...It must be the difference in strength."
Hard Mode could survive without issue. But Easy and Normal Mode could not. Kim Hwi-yeon thought that was the difference, her expression troubled.
Time passed.
After two days, people from other regions began to arrive one by one.
"Sob, sob."
Their numbers were noticeably small. It was because, without someone like Taesan who could single-handedly protect everyone, many had died along the way. Kim Hwi-yeon, with a look of pity, led them into Yongin City Hall.
Slowly, the vast, empty grounds began to fill up. Taesan sat languidly perched on the roof of a building. There was nothing to do.
For the week until the Special Quest ended, there was nothing proactive he could do. Even going out to rescue people from other regions was impossible; the moment he arrived at Yongin City Hall, he was prevented from leaving. This meant he had to wait quietly at the City Hall for two days.
