For Nedai Shinpei and the Shadows, this was the starting line.
Duanmu Huai's concern wasn't unwarranted. The defeated Shadows, now aware of Duanmu Huai's existence, would inevitably aim to kill Nedai Shinpei in order to reset the timeline, giving them more opportunities to deal with this suddenly emerged formidable enemy. For Duanmu Huai, he was naturally unwilling to let the timeline reset again—spending so much effort to fight all the way to the boss's doorstep, only for the server to roll back and eject him from the dungeon. There's nothing more infuriating than that.
While Duanmu Huai was searching for the boss's lair, Nedai Shinpei and the others remaining at the school also faced a significant dilemma.
Of course, they could hide at the school and wait for Duanmu Huai to take down the boss, but…
"I'm worried the opponent might act recklessly."
Nedai Shinpei's expression was grim.
