"She's regenerating!" Choi Hana shouted as another layer of corrupted flesh grew back over the Den Mother's wound.
"Then let's cut deeper," Jin Hwan growled, launching himself into the air with a double-jump.
Wind Step – Activated.Aerial Drift – Active.Golden Crescent Kick – GO!
He twisted mid-air, his leg glowing bright gold. The kick sliced through the boss's face, the shockwave ripping through tendons and bone. A burst of black blood sprayed like acid, sizzling where it hit the ground.
The Den Mother let out a guttural shriek that shook the walls of the entire chamber.
Below him, Sang-Il held the line with his shield, absorbing heavy blows that would've turned anyone else into soup. His armor cracked. Blood trickled from his mouth, but he stood tall.
[System Mood: Sang-Il: Built Different™ Edition.]
Joo-Yeon flanked left, channeling another projection.
"Phantom Boar!"
A translucent beast slammed into the Den Mother's legs, forcing her to stagger.
From above, Hana froze the boss's claws mid-swipe.
"Ice Pillars – Pin and Fracture!" she yelled, ice erupting from the ground, locking joints with sharp, magical frost.
Ryu Hae-Rin, still standing in the rear with her skills sealed, hurled a blade straight into the Den Mother's eye.
"I might be sealed—but I'm not useless," she muttered.
[System Mood: "SEAL me once, shame on you. SEAL me twice? Watch me stab your damn eyeball."]
Jin Hwan landed beside Sang-Il just as the Den Mother spun, enraged. Its tail whipped around—
CRASH!
Everyone went flying.
Ryu Hae-Rin screamed. Joo-Yeon slammed into the wall. Hana hit the ceiling. Sang-Il coughed blood as he was pinned beneath rubble.
And Jin Hwan…
...lay flat, the taste of iron in his mouth, and his vision blurry.
[System Alert: Team HP Critical. Danger State: Maximum Banana Peel Slippery Bad.]
[System Mood: Serious Bunny Mode. That's it. Gloves are off. TACTICAL FLUFF MODE: ON.]
Jin Hwan stood, trembling, golden aura pulsing violently around his body.
He inhaled deeply.
"Let's end this."
With Wind Step, he zipped between ice shards, kicked off a beast projection's back, double-jumped again, then launched downward in a glowing dropkick straight into the Den Mother's skull.
BOOM!
The cavern collapsed around them as his foot connected, golden shockwaves ripping through the boss's corrupted core.
The Den Mother let out one final howl, lashing out wildly.
And then—she exploded.
Not metaphorically.
Literally.
A burst of corrupted mana pulsed out in all directions—an unavoidable wave.
Everything went white.

❖ [Later – Seoul Hunter Medical Facility]
Jin Hwan woke up to the sound of a heart monitor beeping. The ceiling above him was far too white. His legs were in casts. His ribs felt like glass.
"…Ow."
He turned his head slowly and saw beds lined up nearby.
Sang-Il, unconscious.
Hana, bandaged from head to toe.
Joo-Yeon had one arm in a sling and was scolding a nurse.
Ryu Hae-Rin was sulking in a wheelchair with an IV in her neck.
They'd all made it.
Barely.
[System Mood: Hospital Arc – Pajamas equipped. Battle Scars: 99. Snacks: 0. Send help.]
Jin Hwan groaned and chuckled weakly. "System… give me something to read. I'm stuck here."

"…Sword Without A House, huh?"
He opened the novel in his system interface.
A few chapters in…
"Yo… this is GOOD."
Then he turned his head toward the fourth wall, smirking.
"Seriously. You guys should read it too."
[System Mood: Fourth wall = DESTROYED. Promotion = PERFECTED. Let's gooooo.]
