Chapter 445: 87th Floor, The Demonic Battlefield (2)
Vishnu’s gaze toward Lee Taeyeon brimmed with intense displeasure and fury.
“How dare you...”
Lee Taeyeon had once been associated with the Pathfinders.
Recognizing her talent, the leadership allowed her to descend to the deeper levels of the labyrinth, expecting her presence to significantly aid their clears.
True to their expectations, Lee Taeyeon swiftly navigated the labyrinth, meeting their high hopes.
But at some point, she changed.
Her demeanor shifted drastically, becoming proactive and assertive as she began blazing through the labyrinth at an extraordinary speed, far surpassing even the Pathfinder leadership.
Alarmed by this sudden transformation, the leadership conducted an investigation but found nothing amiss.
Her contract with Maria, the Goddess of Choice, was one for the future. For now, Lee Taeyeon remained a mortal receiving Maria’s occasional attention.
Deeming her simply a blossoming talent, the leadership welcomed her contributions and continued to rely on her abilities.
But by the time they reached the 70th floor, things had changed.
When the leadership sought her cooperation, Lee Taeyeon refused outright, declaring she would act independently.
