The layout of the Guntrak Castle was simple; the entrance led to a gigantic hall, and players could reach the upper floors via the circular stairway.   

After ascending the stairs, another hall would be awaiting them. Upon reaching the end of the hall, there would be yet another stairway awaiting them. 

'I think the boss monster's at the top.'

Kang Oh stepped forward.

Upon contact, he heard a 'click' and his Hyper Intuition warned him of danger.

'A trap!'

Kang Oh didn't have time to warn her, so he pulled Asu towards him and jumped away.

"Huh?"

Asu widened her eyes at his sudden action.

At the same time...!

Whoosh!

Sharp needles popped out of the red crosses on the ground.

Thud.

Kang Oh landed on the floor, his body still wrapped around Asu's body.

"Oppa, are you ok?" she asked worryingly.

"Yeah. It's a good thing I dodged the trap." 

Kang Oh smiled.

The two stood up, and the sharp needles slowly receded into the ground.

"I forgot that Guntrak has a ton of traps."

Kang Oh scratched the back of his head.

"We should check for traps as we go," Asu said.

"Yeah, we should."

They progressed carefully.

A short while lat...
