“Alright. Shall we do our best in working towards the goal of reaching the Great Labyrinth?”

Tim gripped his ax and made powerful swings at the air. He was a strength-based Connector. His Gems amplified his strength, so it was quite dangerous for him to swing his ax like that. Emily’s biting hand flew towards a location where his armor didn’t cover his body, and she scolded him. Tim stopped ferocious swinging to express his joy.

However, he was still in a good mood.

Of course, Tim wasn’t under the delusion that Sungyoon completely trusted them. Tim had somewhat come to know his personality while they partied with him. He knew that it wasn’t possible for him to fully trust them. Still, they would be placed above strangers on his hierarchy. Tim was now sure that Sungyoon thought of them as comrades.

‘Yes. We’ll take this slow.’

When Tim had conversed with Sungyoon about the Great Labyrinth, a feeling of admiration had bloomed within himself. Even if it happened slowly, he wanted to strengthen their ties with Sungyoon.

However, Tim and Emily’s good mood didn’t last too long. It was the same for Sungyoon.
