Chapter 133
A disheveled woman sipped from a bottle of alcohol in the early morning.
"Unni... did you drink all night again? It's almost time for your next Adventure. You should be taking care of your body right now..."
"Haha, looking after my body? Yeah, that's important. But, you know, Inyeong... it's not like only the fittest, buffest folks come back from Adventures, right? So, taking care of my body... is it really necessary?"
"You're drunk right now," Choi Inyeong turned around, "Ahjussi, you should go back now too."
Inyeong then faced the disheveled woman once more, "Unni! You need to sober up."
The inebriated woman happened to be a crucial member of Audenin's guild alliance, Son Juyeon.
Seeing the usually composed and alert woman in such a state was tough.
"Just a bit more..."
"What? I can't hear you."
She had a mournful look in her eyes.
"Is it okay... if I just wait a bit more?"
"...Unni, Changsik oppa is dead. So... Can't you stop this now?"
"You... Argh!"
Shatter!
Juyeon hurled a delicate glass cup at the wall, shattering it into pieces.
"Hrgh... Hah... Changsik isn't dead. He's not dead!"
"I know... you tried to stop him from going, but he went anyway. And... that means it's over."
There was a reason why the atmosphere had been so somber when deciding on the individuals for the labyrinth expedition.
While friction between the guilds played a role, the primary concern was that Changsik was essentially their leader. Everyone was worried about his absence and the potential consequences if he didn't return.
This was especially the case for Juyeon.
Which, in turn, became the reason why she looked for other people to undertake the labyrinth.
It was a plan that failed brilliantly with the appearance of Seol, though.
Inyeong was someone privy to Juyeon and Changsik's private relationship.
In reality, Changsik was a popular figure in Audenin. His commendable character and self-assured demeanor attracted a considerable following.
With a somber look, Inyeong slowly approached Juyeon and began picking up the glass shards near her feet.
"He... has been killed by the labyrinth."
"Fucking..."
"Hey... Watch your language! You're doing it again."
"God... fucking damn it... Why did that idiot have to go there..."
"Unni."
"He should've just been satisfied with what the alliance was giving him. Why... why did he choose to go?!"
Inyeong grabbed Juyeon's hands.
"You know better than anyone that Changsik oppa wasn't someone who'd do that, unni."
"Asshole. Dumbass."
"But that dumbass brought all of us together, didn't he?"
"...Sure, at first."
The first thing that disappeared after being transferred into The World of Eternity was trust.
Mutual trust, promises, faith in party members, etc.
