Chapter 320: Seventy-Seventh Floor, Euros’s Flower Forest (8)
[Survive. Time remaining: 45 hours 50 minutes.]
Darkness settled over Euros’s Flower Forest.
Though the sky remained dim, the surroundings were lit up, not by the flowers but by the climbers. No one dared to light a fire, but magic served as a steady source of illumination.
According to Hendrick, approximately twelve thousand had gathered, which was an astonishing figure. I hadn’t expected this many to assemble in such a short time. The pace of the mobilization far surpassed what Ha Hee-Jeong and I had envisioned.
In hindsight, it likely stemmed from their strengthened bonds compared to Ha Hee-Jeong's previous life.
Admittedly, much of that was due to Ha Hee-Jeong and me. Given our continued efforts across the all-climber floors, people tended to follow our directions.
Not to mention, we had high-ranking climbers like Alexei on our side.
The mages were widely dispersed, continuously casting beams of light into the sky.
Even now, more climbers were joining in real time. At this pace, the rate of gathering would only accelerate.
Of course, we weren’t the only ones who could see those lights, so guards had been stationed beside each mage as a precaution.
Even with climbers sealing off the forest’s perimeter, there is always a chance of someone slipping through.
We had divided the climbers into shifts, allowing some to sleep as others swept through the forest.
