How did it come to this?

J-just... just what is going on?

Lee Hyunjins eyes trembled greatly as he looked towards the hell that had opened up in front of him. The dense dark forest was set ablaze. The scorching heat left the greenery in piles of ashes and the hazardous gases from the burning trees filled the atmosphere making it hard to breathe.

At the very centre of that hellscape was a long rod deeply stabbed into the ground that had cracked apart. The rod itself was covered in flames and fire spewed out from where it stood.

Along with the crisp sound of crackling flames, groans and cries of pain could be heard, they were horrible and terrifying.

There was also another figure amidst the flames, a young man that seemed to be filled with joy as he watched the destruction, he was laughing, the grin on his face was devilish.

Lee Hyunjin felt the hairs on his neck stand straight when he saw this but he had no time to focus on that as the person he had been holding in his hands was in critical condition. His skin was ghastly pale like that of a corpse and his entire body was shaking like he was convulsing. He seemed to be in extreme pain as he couldn't utter anything but indiscernible groans.

"Just hold on a bit longer..." Lee Hyunjin said, he was trying to reassure him. "Just hold on... okay?"

Lee Hyunjin stood up once more and shouted to the pyromaniac, "hyung run!"
He secured the trembling body in his hands and bounded off as fast as he could. He could feel the coolness of the person he was carrying seeping into his own skin, it was as if they were really a corpse.

Lee Hyunjin couldn't help but keep muttering, "hold on, just hold on, just a little longer."

(The prior events)

Han Shinwoo was currently walking amongst the thick branches whilst swinging his sword to cut away anything in his path, as he did so rather absentmindedly he thought back to the scene he had just witnessed.

Our protagonist showed his dark side again!

Han Shinwoo and Lee Byeol had been following behind Kim Jaehyun like loyal disciples when the other had stopped and politely said he wanted to part ways.

The two of them were aware of the fact that Kim Jaehyun was strong and in truth they were both still accustomed to his gentle side which made him seem like a reliable sunbae.

Even Han Shinwoo had thought that Kim Jaehyun would prefer to walk with them but to his surprise when Lee Byeol hesitantly asked Kim Jaehyun, if they could stay together, Kim Jaehyun said with a bright smile on his face, "I'm not in the habit of dragging along burdens, especially in a place like Ifvnar."

Lee Byeol was frozen stiff by his words and couldn't find a response. The awkward expression on her beautiful face was a mix of shock and doubt when Kim Jaehyun saw this he furrowed his brows slightly then turned away and said, "go by yourself," and then he promptly left them.

When Kim Jaehyun had been looking at Lee Byeol before he turned away, there wasn't a shred of warmth in his eyes, in fact it was more like he was looking down at a bug he could crush anytime.

When Han Shinwoo saw his gaze, he couldn't help but feel chills run down his spine, he pitied the airhead who had to endure such a gaze but at the same time Han Shinwoo thought, so cool!

Sunbae looked so cool! Just like a real protagonist!

Han Shinwoo was so wrapped up in his admiration for Kim Jaehyun that he didn't realise at some point, Lee Byeol was no longer following behind him.
