Facing the First Great Node; The Lava World

"No, these players were already scared, lost all hopes of living, and so the fight wasn't that exciting or challenging at all!"

Alfonzo complained, as it seemed he was upset that he didn't kill strong opponents yet.

"Don't worry, what lies in the front will be quite challenging," I simply replied, before looking to Aria as I asked:

"Have you selected players to absorb these medallions? We need to hasten our preparations, first adapt to the use of these arts before stepping into the next layer."

"Why should we do that here? we shouldn't waste anymore time, and keep pushing on the nobles!" Alfonzo said, with extreme impatience.

Aria and Rendy glanced at me, and I knew what they were thinking. I nodded, and left them explain to everyone how hard our next step would be.

They were extremely shocked, while I went to the side, starting to absorb my medallions, and Diana kept watching my back.
