"Kirah!"

The worm collapsed in a flurry.

Standing in front of him, Jung Daesik said, "Huh! Whoa!" exhaled a rough breath.

Rather than being overworked to deal with the worm, he was busy running straight up to here after dealing with a male wyvern.

Fortunately, he arrived on time and was able to rescue his comrades from the worms, so the tension drained from his body.

'I've exhausted all of his magic. It's empty.'

Jung Daesik sighed and stretched his arms.

Afraid of that, something hit me from behind.

"Mr. Jung Daesik!"

"Oh my gosh."

Jung Daesik, who was completely drained of his body, almost fell forward.

He hurriedly balanced and looked behind him.

There, Mi-rae Heo was hanging with tears in her eyes.

"It's okay, it's okay!"

Jung Daesik's lips twitched at the words of the blind man.

Soon, Mu-won Park also approached him and tapped him on the shoulder.

"I'm glad. I can come back."

Even Yumi Hwang, who was in another raid, breathed a sigh of relief.

"I thought it was over..."

Jung Daesik raised his lips with an awkward look at their hospitality.

Then, Kim Si-on, who had picked up a black scallop with a parched face, came closer.

And he had a smile he had never seen before.

"Good back."

Jung Daesik was startled and almost bit his tongue.

He saw Kim Si-on smiling for the first time.

Occasionally, there were times when they looked like they were smiling, but most of them looked cruel and vicious, so I couldn't think of a smile at all.

But seeing her innocent smile like this, I realized that Kim Si-on was more beautiful than I thought.

"Oh, um... no."

Jung Daesik struggled with embarrassment.

Seeing him like that, Si-on Kim changed his expression as if he had ever done it.

She asked her face to regain her composure.

"Is the Wyvern egg safe?"

"Yes, of course."

Nodding his head, Jung Daesik realized his mistake.

He should have handed the wyvern eggs first before he sent them away.

Kim Si-on would later retrieve it with a dimension pocket, but Jung Daesik's subspace was different from the dimension pocket.

It cannot be possessed by anyone else.

If he died, there was a high possibility that the subspace and the objects in it would also disappear.

Kim Si-on looked back at the wounded Yoo Tae-hoon.

"Are you okay?"

Yoo Tae-hoon smiled bitterly.

"For now... he didn't die."

"Okay then."

Kim Si-on said so, but to Jung Daesik, Yoo Tae-hoon's wounds seemed serious.

He might be able to use heels or if he had any potions left, but now everyone had exhausted his magic power and there were no potions.

Bleeding continued, so if you made a mistake, you could die before reaching the save point.

Hwang Yu-mi and Heo Mi-rae hurriedly took off Yoo Tae-hoon's half armor.

Then he took off his ripped leather jacket.

The white t-shirt she wore underneath was completely stained with blood.

It was carefully torn apart, revealing a gruesome wound.

The flesh had been completely torn off at the site of the worm bite.

"Ugh......"

Yoo Tae-hoon groaned and sweated profusely.

Park Mu-won vomited a sad voice as he stopped bleeding from his wounds.

"If only there was one bottle of potion..."

Jung Daesik was also upset.

He somehow managed to save the crew, but he could never say things were going well.

He had to get out of here with two wounded men, almost naked.

Kim Si-on said as he saw Yoo Tae-hoon being supported by Park Mu-won.

"If you go a little further, Shin Chae-woon will bring the other crew. You just have to hold on until then."

Kim Si-on said it as if it would happen soon.

But no one would have naively believed it all.

They rode the undead wyvern until they came to the wyvern's nest.

It would take a considerable amount of time to walk that street on two legs normally.

Kim Si-on took the lead as if ignoring that fact.

"depart."

Park Mu-won supported Yoo Tae-hoon, and Kim Si-on moved on with the help of Hwang Yu-mi and Heo Mi-rae.

Jung Daesik carried Sogangdu, who is still unconscious.

Of course, there was no such thing as a rank.

They lined up in a row and walked like a remnant.

Following him, Jung Daesik licked his dry lips.

He was also helpless.

However, if there was a difference, Jung Daesik could change his status with his money.

However, he had spent a lot of money the other day, so he didn't have enough spare money.

He had to come up with the best way for a small amount.

'What should I do?'

Jung Daesik called up his status window first.

It was invisible to others, and it was translucent, so you could see its contents while walking.

Jung Daesik stared intently into his status window, contemplating what to do.

'As long as you have exhausted your magic power, acquiring active skills for attack is meaningless. I'd rather find a way to replenish my magic. But even that, I don't know if it'll be of any use as I'm writing it for myself. Even if there is a skill that has the same effect as a magic recovery potion, shouldn't it be activated only when magic is basically installed?'

Jung Daesik changed the direction of his thinking a bit.

'okay. Even if you recover your magical power from the current state, you can only get attack power as a result. When monsters appear, you can fight. But it will take a while to get out of here, and it's unclear which monsters will appear. Even if you defeat a monster, another monster may appear.'

Jung Daesik bit his lip.

'If I'm alone, I don't know, as long as there are other wounded and exhausted crew members, it's just wasteful to catch and fight the monsters you encounter. The biggest goal right now is not to hunt monsters, but to escape from here. I'd rather find a way out of this place.'

By upgrading the shop level, he had some new skills that he could acquire.

I don't know if any of the dogs have a way to overcome this situation, but it also requires magical power to activate.

One way or another, there was no way to solve the current state of depletion of mana.

'Any skill must have magical power, but it is applicable... Ah!'

Jung Daesik suddenly had a lightning-like realization.

'okay! There are some skills that can be activated even without magical power! It's none other than a passive skill!'

Passive skills such as a steel body had nothing to do with the amount of magical power they possessed.

It was equally effective regardless of Jung Daesik's status from the moment it was acquired.

Jung Daesik would not have been able to stand where he is now if he had to have magical powers, but if the steel body had worked.

'Yes, passive skills work permanently once acquired! If so, you can purchase one of the passive skills that will help in this situation!'

After reading through the skill window several times, Jung Daesik made a careful decision.

'Extension of attention. I have to purchase this skill.'

The extension of attention was a skill that reads the enemy's energy.

To be precise, it was possible to predict the monster's approach in advance with the ability to capture life.

If so, it was possible to get out of this place safely with the crew because even if the monsters appeared, it could be avoided.

Then, a strange noise came from somewhere.

When I heard it, it was the sound of teeth grinding.

Yoo Tae-hoon, who was leaning on Park Mu-won, was grinding his teeth north and north because he couldn't bear the pain.

His face was already shredded and he was sweating like rain.

Seeing this, Kim Si-on, who was supported by Hwang Yu-mi and Heo Mi-rae as well, stopped.

She looked at Yoo Tae-hoon's condition and said.

"I can't. Let's take a break."Yoo Tae-hoon rolled his eyes and shook his head.

"No. I need to find a save point quickly..."

"Before that, you will die!"

While the crew lay weary in the thickets of grass, Jung Daesik went out to stand on guard.

Standing at a distance from the other crew, Jung Daesik opened his mouth.

"Entropy."

Entropy appeared immediately.

He looked cute like a teddy bear, so I really couldn't get used to it.

But Jung Daesik was quick to speak as he was not in a position to dwell on that.

"Isn't there an extension of attention among the skills I can purchase?"

"I'll buy it."

Jung Daesik saw an attention expansion on his list of psychic skills.

"This is a passive skill, so it's always activated, right?"

When asked to confirm, Entropy nodded his head.

It was!

Entropy, which was clumsily divided into head, body, and limbs, made such a gesture possible.

At first, it was just a sign like a speech bubble, which was a remarkable development.

While Jung Daesik was surprised by the fact, entropy continued to explain.

"Say it simply, simply."

"Huh?"

"AHA!"

The normal viewing angle of a person ranges from 110 degrees to 120 degrees.

However, not everyone is seeing everything that comes into their field of view.

When you are tense, your viewing angle narrows, so you can't see what's in front of you, and if you focus your mind, you can see small things clearly.

In other words, attention dilation also works differently depending on how conscious Jung Daesik is.

"I understand what you mean. Well, it would be quite tiring if you had 120% of the effect of Extended Attention all the time."

“To tell you the truth, I don’t think so.”

"What else do you mean?"

"What? It's only 100m? That's enough distance to see with the naked eye! Why is it only that?"
