Chapter 410: Eighty-Ninth Floor, Demigod (3)
[Assist the Giant Resistance in creating a homeland for their people. Time remaining: 24 hours 45 minutes.]
Normally, what one considered darkness contained a trace of light, allowing them to retain some semblance of their surroundings. True darkness, however, had a complete absence of light, which did more than just limit vision.
Somehow, this went beyond even that.
An eerie force made the surroundings feel not only dark but suffocating and jumbled, as if the very space had become twisted.
Kireing felt his sense of direction slip away.
A moment ago, only Kwon Su-Hyeok had stood before him. After a couple of seconds, however, he sensed the other resistance members—who had been behind him—coming from ahead of him.
He came to a halt, along with the rest of the resistance. It was only natural, given the abrupt change in circumstances.
Tension built in the air, thick and heavy, as lingering afterimages flickered faintly on his retinas every time he blinked.
Just seconds ago, a road lay before him. He could still faintly make it out through the trailing afterimages, but the idea of walking forward felt impossible.
That fucking demon finally decided to show itself.
Kireing cursed inaudibly, though he knew it was just his fear talking. He admitted that to himself.
Fear made him seek someone to rely on, and he had found that person. Kwon Su-Hyeok had breathed hope into the resistance.
