Hae Ri and Jae Soh picked their way through the forest’s ragged terrain, dispatching every monster they met with a single, clean strike.
Because the creatures stood frozen in place, they posed no real threat. As a result, only Lykos remained at their side while the rest of the team fanned out deeper into the woods to see whether this same paralysis plagued the entire territory.

Even if, for some reason, a paralyzed monster granted only half the usual experience, that was hardly a drawback. After all, what sane person would complain about having to swing their sword only a few more times to level up? With no real danger to their lives, it almost felt like a gift.
