Chapter 181
We walked in silence for a long time.
After about ten minutes, the sound of particles colliding disappeared, and Cha Sahyeon dismissed the shadow shield. We had exited the monster’s body.
I looked up at the monster, which was still shifting its form with each passing second, then turned toward the forest where the dungeon entrance was located.
Cha Sahyeon simply followed quietly behind me. He looked deeply hurt by my sarcasm earlier, so he probably didn’t want to speak.
Maybe he was angry with me. If so, then this was clearly my fault.
“How stupid...”
Cha Sahyeon, who puts on a fake smile so diligently in front of me, was still the Catastrophe in the end.
Just because the seed's progress hadn't changed since we met again at the church, didn't mean it wouldn't in the future.
Like now—what if my words had hurt him and caused the seed to progress further? I’d be the one responsible for cleaning up that mess.
And...
I glanced back.
Cha Sahyeon’s expression was blank, but judging from his slumped shoulders and the way he bit down on his lips, it wouldn’t be surprising if he suddenly burst into tears.
