Chapter 65: Crawl or Raid
Hannah worked up the nerve to turn to Zarian and admit that she’d made a dumb mistake and he should take over. Obviously, she was too weak to lead an expedition against a Rare Level 40 Dungeon.
She figured she lacked the potential. Or the ability to make her potential greater than the Devouring Librarian Dungeon.
The words tasted bitter in her mouth, and she couldn’t even recall what she was saying exactly. It all came down to thinking it was best to fall under Zarian’s leadership again. He was younger, yes, but he was powerful, clever, and her superior.
“No,” said the demigod. “You’re more than capable enough. Learn from your mistakes and push forward.”
That was that. Zarian had spoken.
Now she had to figure things out from here.
Hannah dumped all her misgivings and cleared her thoughts. She couldn’t, however, control her anxiety. That was okay. Discomfort and fear triggered the nervous system and tapped into the flight and fight response.
