There were two things they needed to find in Bey World.
One was the whereabouts of the missing Captain Adonis.
The other was the location of the rabbit mask—the root of this incident.
Jhin was convinced that the missing captain had to be inside this "Nighttime Bey World."
Otherwise, there was no way he’d know about the Goblin Orb.
So the group began moving in earnest, avoiding clusters of monsters as they started a full
Trying to handle them all at once? That was asking for a headache.
Jhin turned to Millie.
"Have you figured out what monster you were most afraid of?"
"...I’ve thought about it. There are a few."
"Yeah...?"
"But they’re all over level 300."
Honestly, this was the real issue.
Luke had only raised his character to around level 100.
Millie, though? She had reached rank 12.
A high-level player like her could imagine monsters that made the King Centipede look like a toy.
Jhin ’s brow furrowed and didn’t smooth out.
’There are probably monsters created because of me, too.’
As the number one ranked player, Jhin had fought and seen more monsters than anyone.
If he had to pick the worst among them... he could probably name a dozen just off the top of his head.
Damn it.
’They probably won’t appear at full strength, though.’
As far as he could remember, Exodia wasn’t the kind of game to throw fully powered high-level monsters at you out of nowhere.
But their traits? Those were probably intact.
And even that might be too much to handle.
High-level monsters were high-level for a reason.
They had few weaknesses and needed specific tactics or rare items to defeat.
In higher-tier dungeons, it was standard to build entire parties around those fights—with proper equipment and roles tailored to the enemy.
"Still... let’s hang in there. The rabbit mask must be somewhere in Bey World."
Pushing aside his anxiety, Jhin refocused on the mission.
The never-ending waves of monsters.
There was still only one real way out of this mess.
Take the Goblin Orb.
Only then could they begin the true conquest of this space.
But positive thinking alone wasn’t enough to turn the tide.
No matter how stealthily they moved, they were surrounded on all sides by monsters.
The constant battles were wearing them down.
And then, what they feared most appeared.
Jhin muttered under his breath.
"That guy... he’s an NPC, isn’t he?"
A man stood before them—long sword in hand, sharp snake-like eyes glaring their way.
Jhin recognized him immediately.
It was Cramp , a noble NPC who had caused all sorts of problems in Exodia1.
He had a history of clashing with players, but as far as Jhin recalled, he was never categorized as a monster.
Millie spoke up.
"Ugh. That one’s probably my fault. He looks like the stalker who used to follow me around. I hated him."
"..."
"So I guess not just monsters are showing up, huh."
A creepy obsessive fan who had once followed her relentlessly.
He had eventually faced legal consequences—and the case had made headlines.
Jhin remembered it too.
"...Yeah. The resemblance is... spot on."
Millie tried to hide her expression as she spoke again.
