Chapter 79
Sol Squad. Surrounded on All Sides.
Seowoon read the unspoken concern on Jinryung’s face and calmly began explaining.
"As I said before, our biggest advantage is mobility. We’re short on numbers compared to other squads, and to make things worse, our main force consists of martial artists. Neither of us is particularly proficient in magic."
Calling himself a 4th Circle mage was almost embarrassing—Seowoon only knew two 1st Circle spells and one 4th Circle spell. Jinryung, meanwhile, had learned nothing but a single 3rd Circle barrier. He had no grounds to argue otherwise.
"That’s true, but with so many players bound to gather around the buff monster, do we really need to jump into the inner circle with them? We’ve worked hard to pull back toward the rear. We’re already close to the destination we planned for—re-entering the inner circle now doesn’t seem very efficient."
Jinryung’s point was reasonable.
They’d taken risks for half a day, moving along the outskirts, anticipating other players’ moves. Doubling back now could easily look like they were being swayed by the situation.
"Think of it as adaptive play. We’re not being swept around by variables—we’re using those variables by leveraging our mobility."
Seowoon’s knack for phrasing things persuasively in Korean worked well on the straightforward Jinryung, who was easily convinced.
What once felt like being tossed around by chaos now felt like proactive, tactical adaptation—and Jinryung’s agreement wasn’t just naivety. Seowoon simply made sense.
"So, are we circling back into the inner zone?"
