Chapter 423: Ninetieth Floor, Together, Alone (1)
[All aggressive actions are strictly prohibited within the rest area. Rest and relax at your leisure. Time remaining: 37 hours 21 minutes.]
Following Kwon Su-Hyeok’s advice, Alexei swung her axe and then froze in that very stance. She didn’t want to forget this sensation.
At the same time, her ears were pricked open, focused on what was behind her—toward Kwon Su-Hyeok.
“Well?”
Alexei expected praise. To her, she had just displayed the technique with a degree of mastery. Of course, that was only by Alexei’s standards. By an absolute measure, it was nothing of the sort; it only mimicked Kwon Su-Hyeok’s swing in form alone. She had failed to capture even a fraction of the intent contained in the technique he had shown her.
Even so, she was satisfied. After all, she had only taken two hours just to reach this point.
This is the best I can manage at my level.
As Alexei briefly replayed the movement in her mind, the rest area’s lodging came into view ahead.
Pathetic.
She grumbled inwardly at the climbers who were surely sprawled out, fast asleep by now. The plains that had once bustled with climbers held only Alexei and Kwon Su-Hyeok.
I know their trial ended, but still, this is ridiculous.
Alexei couldn’t understand it. Even if Earth had Kwon Su-Hyeok, abandoning everything so carelessly was nothing short of irresponsible.
