“Phew…” Seo Jun-Ho flipped his sweat-drenched hair aside He was fighting the robots like no other because he was capable of turning hundreds of them into pieces of scrap er’
However, before he could feel proud of hih, yeah If I didn’t h all that, I would have just killedthe robots, they somehow reached the end of the battle In addition, explosions could no longer be heard throughout the city
“Is it over?” he ht,” Skaya said Players started gathering around the to Eye in the Sky, there isn’t a single trace of the Iood”
“But the city is in coed to minimize civilian casualties, but I can’t say that I didn’t expect this to happen”
“”
Seo Jun-Ho wondered when it started At so casualties instead of celebrating whenever a battle ended
“How many Players?”
“Thirty-seven”
He had heard that 129 Players were killed while fighting Na Jincheon
The Immortal Army killed an additional thirty-seven Players
‘166 Players died Just to save me’
His heart and shoulders felt heavier They had a bright future ahead of them because of their potential But now, he would have to carry the weight of their deaths on his back
The Players around his
“Kugh”
At that , stepped forith a Guildwas shallow, and the bandages wrapped around his ribs were soaked in blood
“Specter No, Player Seo Jun-Ho”
“” Seo Jun-Ho looked into Choi Han-Young’s eyes without wavering He had long gotten used to this This wouldn’t be the first ti took a moment to catch his breath When he spoke, he sounded furious
“Just what do you take us for?”
“” Seo Jun-Ho stared at hi to say
“Hooo” Choi Han-Young panted a few more times before he took in a deep breath When he did, the blood on his bandages grew darker
Seo Jun-Ho reached out in surprise “Hey, you’re bleeding…”

However, not a single one of theain “If you thought this place would be safe, raise your hand”
No one raised their hand this time as well…
“If you think your friends or comrades died because of Specter, raise your hand”
Not this time, either…
“Last question If you blale one of the quietly turned to Seo Jun-Ho He looked as if he was asking Seo Jun-Ho if it was a good enough answer
“”
Seo Jun-Ho had always been leading people and taking responsibility for thes would have been different if he had been a little faster—a little stronger He had always been regretting the things and the people he couldn’t protect rather than thinking about the things he had done so far
As such, Seo Jun-Ho had always felt guilty and ashaht now, Choi Han-Young was telling him that he didn’t need to feel that way—that there had never been a need to feel that way in the first place
“”
Seo Jun-Ho squeezed his eyes shut He had been ht they were the same weak people whom he used to lead in the past
‘I was stupid and arrogant’
They weren’t mere folloho could only trail behind Seo Jun-Ho or Specter
