Surviving as a Genius on Borrowed Time

Chapter 404

“An eclipse?”

Namgung Mu-jin’s lips twisted slowly.

“Finding poetic meaning in a place like this? I had thought you were different from the Commander of the Dragon Squadron, but perhaps not.”

His voice was bleak. Once again, the pulse of a heartbeat-like vibration rang out, and the massive sword shadow engulfing them both swelled even larger.

“Ma Gwang-ik… You tore apart this place’s sorcery formation to save the Commander of the Divine Sword Squad, didn’t you? I should thank you. It was bound to become a nuisance anyway.”
