“Guild Master Campbell.”

Christopher, who had been assigned as an assistant for this raid, was in a meeting room where several meetings occurred. Unlike the relaxed L-class members, he was occupied with giving orders. When he noticed Seora entering the room, he looked up with curiosity. “Oh, Y-Yun Seora-ssi?”

“How are you? I apologize for interrupting your work.”

“No worries! I can spare some time for you.” He flashed a bright smile, delegating his current task to someone else before approaching her. He seemed genuinely pleased.

“I heard you wanted to meet me. I also wanted to express my gratitude, so I came to find you.”

“What? Gratitude? To me?”

“You kept your promise not to reveal my true identity. Thank you.”

“That’s only natural! There’s no need to thank me for something like that.”

The two of them found a more secluded spot to continue their conversation.

“I heard that you cleared a Level 1 Dungeon. And now you’re planning to enter the Labyrinth without taking a break?”

“I stumbled upon the gate being created on my way home. Whether it was lucky or unfortunate, I couldn’t just ignore it… I felt compelled to take action.”

Unaware that Seora’s words were still more than half lies, Christopher continued to express his admiration. How long would his naivety persist?

“Did you get injured during the dungeon?”

“Not at all. My mental barrier is quite sturdy.”

“That’s a relief. However, please be cautious and avoid any unnecessary risks before entering the Labyrinth.”

“You’re right. I’ll be more careful from now on. The thought of facing the Labyrinth naturally fills me with tension.” Seora’s words flowed smoothly, as if she had coated her tongue with oil. If Kang Sejun or Seong Jarim were present, they would have warned the unsuspecting Christopher, “You’re being deceived!” It was truly a tragic situation for him.

“I hope you have a safe return this time as well.”

“Thank you.”

With the matter resolved, Seora intended to leave. However, Christopher appeared restless, as if he had something on his mind, and anxiously pursed his lips.

“What’s the matter?”

“Well… I’m not sure if I should tell you this.”

“What is it? You’ve kept my secret, so I’m willing to listen.”

“I hope this doesn’t upset you, but the truth is, President Joe Milan asked me for a favor.”

Joe Milan, the president of the American Association and a first-generation S-class Awakened.

Seora’s lips twisted at the mention of his name. “Oh, the president of the American Association.”

“I don’t want to burden you with something unreasonable! I don’t even have the authority to do that!” Christopher hastily defended himself. Seora trusted him; otherwise, he wouldn’t have protected her true identity in the first place. “It seems like the president has something important to convey to you, Yun Seora-ssi. If you have any interest in meeting him in the future, please consider it. Of course, if you don’t want to, you are under no obligation to meet him.”

There it was. His words weren’t empty; he genuinely meant what he said. Christopher had close ties with both the U.S. government and the association, so he must have been facing various dilemmas.

“I will think about it, but I can’t make any promises.”

Noticing the confident smile on Seora’s face, Christopher wisely chose not to press for more. He nodded, understanding the situation.

“I’ve taken up enough of your valuable time. Rest well until the day you enter the Labyrinth. The America Association won’t insist on meeting you under any circumstances.”

“Thank you for the heads up. Well then, see you later.”

“Y-yes…!”

Christopher seemed delighted at the mention of meeting again. After bidding each other a heartfelt farewell, Seora turned and left. What was he so happy about?

‘Is Joe Milan feeling anxious, I wonder?’

According to Song Hanna, he had even contacted the president of South Korea. Of course, considering his affiliation with the association, the president didn’t pay much attention to his words. There was no immediate need to be concerned about the United States, and it seemed Mr. President liked it that way.

“Heheh, should I meet him or not?”

Joe Milan was likely somewhere nearby. But did she have a compelling reason to meet him?

Humming a tune, Seora casually continued on her way.

“This is the Labyrinth Gate…”

On the day the 8th floor of the Labyrinth opened, Seora set foot on Labyrinth Island for the first time. Her eyes widened at the thrilling energy that enveloped the barren land, devoid of grass or trees. Amidst this desolate landscape, a solitary giant gate stood, unlike anything she had ever seen before. It emanated an eerie aura and trembled violently as if foreshadowing its imminent opening. Kang Sejun informed her that this trembling was a sign of its impending opening.

“So, does it lead directly to the 8th floor?”

“Yeah, once the raid is over, the dungeon collapses like other places,” replied Yun Jaeheon, naturally responding to her question.

The Athena personnel had arrived at Labyrinth Island through an alternative route, bypassing Hawaii. Speculation grew rampant about Athena’s hidden base possibly being nearby. However, Seora herself had no idea where Jaeheon stayed.

“The pressure here is overwhelming. It’s enough to make cold sweat trickle down,” Seora remarked, noting the stark contrast to the Level 1 gates that had opened in Cheorwon or Japan.

“It will become even more intense when it fully opens. Normally, you wouldn’t sense any mana, but mana flows out like this when it’s time for the gate to open. It’s quite peculiar,” Jaeheon explained.

“You’re right; it is peculiar. By the way, did you eat a rattling tree or something? How long are you going to keep shaking like that? It’s making me vibrate too.”

Jaeheon awkwardly chuckled and hid his hands behind his back. His intense trembling was not just a figment; it was visible to the naked eye. It was a manifestation of his tension.

“Someone who never shook when he went in alone or with others can’t even get a good night’s sleep now that his sister is going.” Ali approached. Unlike Jaeheon, she seemed very relaxed about entering the Labyrinth.

“Hello, Captain.”

“Hey, you. The Headbang who shamelessly deceives and manipulates people.”

“Hahaha. So you heard about it too, ma’am.”

“Yeah, I never imagined you could deceive people so easily with such an innocent face. I was quite surprised when I read the news articles. Do you have a steel liver or something?”

“I didn’t intend to deceive anyone, but it ended up that way. I’m sorry. You didn’t get mad at my brother, did you?”

“I did feel like giving him a good punch. But if I did that, I’d be afraid some L-class would come flying and give me a scar.”

Seora discreetly observed Jaeheon’s trembling body and coughed fake coughs to divert attention from the conversation. While Jaeheon had been accused of being overprotective of his sister, the truth was that the opposite was also true.

“They say the Phantom Overlord can send people to their graves without a scratch. I guess I have to be cautious too. You must have incredible skills, Jaeheon’s sister.”

“It was only possible because it was the Phantom Overlord. My mental barrier can defend against all forms of mental intrusion.”

“That’s impressive. I’m more curious about you than the Omniscient Mage. I wonder if I can enjoy the show in this Labyrinth.”

Seora’s rapid growth from F-class to S-class and eventually reaching L-class was unprecedented worldwide. Naturally, all eyes were on her, fascinated by her remarkable achievements.

“I definitely want to witness the skills of an L-class spatial ability user.”

“I’ll do my best to meet your expectations.” Seora smiled brightly.

【The ancient door of the unknown island is preparing to open. Brace yourself for the shock.】

As the message was delivered to all Awakened, a massive surge of mana emanated from the crimson gate. Its power was so overwhelming that it caused B-class and lower Awakened individuals to faint.

Despite the tingling sensation on her skin, Seora stood firm, her gaze fixed on the gate.

Finally, the time had come to enter the Labyrinth.

“Prepare for entry!”

Julian Martinez, Ethan J. Garcia, Oliver Ross, Monique Ribery, Ali Russo, Kang Sejun, Seong Jarim, and Yun Seora—eight L-class Hunters—stood before the gate. Despite possessing world-shattering power, unease filled the eyes of the onlookers.

The gate that held catastrophe imprisoned was truly terrifying.

【Time remaining: 5 seconds, 4 seconds, 3 seconds, 2 seconds, 1 second.】

【The unknown door is opening. The gate to the 8th floor of the Labyrinth is opening!】

The red gate flickered ominously, casting a foreboding light. The day it turned green would signify the transformation of the world into a living hell. The raid party’s sole objective was to prevent that cataclysmic event.

“Let’s go.”

Led by Ali Russo, who took charge of the raid party, they all entered the gate. With the worried gazes of her families weighing on Seora’s mind, she stepped beyond the gate.

【Awakened ‘Yun Seora’ has entered the 8th Floor of the Labyrinth ‘World of Crumbled Revelation’.】

“Ugh!”

Everyone entered with fear etched on their faces, shielding themselves from the intense heat that scorched their skin. The zone they found themselves in was ablaze, a fiery landscape that even the L-class Hunters struggled to endure with their resistance to extreme temperatures. It was a formidable challenge.

“Heat control.”

“Enhanced stamina.”

Kang Sejun and Monique activated their abilities simultaneously. The oppressive heat eased, making breathing easier, and their bodies felt lighter.

“Damn Labyrinth. It’s only natural for the zones to change,” Garcia grumbled, rubbing his shoulders. Then, he noticed a shimmering message before him.

‘World of Crumbled Revelation’

None of the eight individuals passed by that name without giving it a second thought.

“The world of revelation, huh?”

Revelation, a concept shrouded in mystery. And now, the word ‘crumbled’ accompanied it.

“I can’t even begin to guess its meaning, but one thing is certain.”

It was a vast expanse. The sky blazed overhead, devoid of vegetation, and the air reeked of sulfur from the erupting lava.

The sight before them was more horrifying than Cheorwon’s transformation into a lava zone through terraforming.

“This is a world in ruins.”
