Chapter 225
8 AM, the following morning.
Do-Jun was ready to head to the Core’s eighth floor. In truth, his preparation amounted to grabbing the Core Talisman and his SpacePad and changing into casual clothes. There were no visible weapons, armor, or battle-support artifacts.
“I won’t be long,” Do-Jun said apologetically, glancing at Hakase and Kiriel seated across the table. “I’ll pay you for today’s business when I get back.”
Leaving Byeol alone at home weighed on him, so he entrusted her care to the duo for the day.
“Please do not worry about that. It’s an honor to be of service,” Hakase responded with a serious expression.
Do-Jun smiled at the sight. Even though he occasionally caused trouble with Kiriel, deep down, the duo was kind-hearted.
“Thank you. And make sure Byeol eats breakfast when she wakes up,” Do-Jun said.
“We will. Please take care out there.”
“Alright, I’m off.”
The Core Talisman shimmered, enveloping Do-Jun in light. In an instant, he disappeared from Earth. Once Hakase and Kiriel realized Do-Jun had entered the Core, they exchanged solemn nods.
“This is our chance. You know that, right?” Hakase spoke first.
“I agree.”
