Sungyoon's mind went back to the conversation he had with Lee just a few hours ago.

Sungyoon thought it was incredible that he could assess himself in such an objective manner in this state. However, this didn’t mean he was free from the effects of the fear. This fear was like a chain around his body and weighed his body down.

Kevil swung its whip, and the red flame looked like a viper flicking its tongue out. The demonic monster's eyes headed toward Sungyoon’s companions, who had just arrived.

Tuh-uhng!

However, it was futile. The demonic monster easily grabbed the sword with its hand.

- Amazing. You can move to this extent while feeling his presence?

The sarcasm had disappeared in its voice, and true admiration had taken its place. However, this admiration was akin to what a person felt when seeing a monkey use a tool. Kevil didn't see Sungyoon as a threat and treated him very lightly.

Hoohk!

The sword its hands were grasping disappeared, and Sungyoon immediately swung his ax.

Tuh-uhng!

The attack was blocked once again,...
