Chapter 1234: Warangwarang (6)
The students, including Gwak Kyung-goo, found themselves surrounded by a corrupt darkness.
It was clear that those who had lured the students intended to block their escape once they reached the area where the rampage-inducing agent had been released.
Though Gwak Kyung-goo wasn’t the only one left unaffected by the agent, other students had also yet to succumb to it.
In haste, the students donned masks, helping even those who were unable to keep themselves steady to put one on.
This was a measure to prevent further inhalation of the rampage-inducing agent, but it soon became futile.
‘No, the mask will stop working soon!’
The mask was a limited-use item that could only filter out a certain amount of contaminants.
The students, having experience fighting toxic enemies or battling in realms where poison mists were common, knew well the limitations of consumables.
Students with insight-based skills quickly realized that the masks were losing their effectiveness faster than usual.
In the meantime, more students were writhing in agony from the boiling energy inside them.

Gwak Kyung-goo, who had been calm and composed, unable to find a solution as he was now caught in a dilemma.
