Multiple Perils

"Viviana, what is this on you?" 

Viviana's red pillar of light puzzled Banning, and she too wondered why Banning did not have one.

After communicating with each other, Viviana finally understood the situation. 

She informed Banning about the origin of the red pillar of light, which was created by the labyrinth boss using an unknown magic or skill to mark all the surviving intruders in the labyrinth with real-time tracking. 

Banning was not marked because he entered the labyrinth after this event occurred, thus narrowly escaping the ordeal.

"However, even though you don't have a red pillar of light now, if you continue to act with me, it will still expose our whereabouts to the monsters," Viviana felt she was holding Banning back, thinking that perhaps without her, Banning could escape the Aqua Nest more easily.

"Banning, why don't you go to the labyrinth exit by yourself? I'll try to lure the monsters in the opposite direction."
