As they were speaking, a burst of shouting erupted, followed by another chaotic battle. Some of the phantoms had caught up to them, and Wade and the others had no choice but to flee once again.
Meanwhile, Jacob and the rest were taking a rest on a hill. The consecutive battles had left everyone feeling exhausted. Since entering the abyss, they hadn't had proper rest, let alone the time to replenish their energy.
Now, everyone's energy was nearly depleted. Although this place had abundant resources, they didn't have the luxury of time to rest. Moreover, those phantoms seemed to stick to them like glue, swiftly catching up to Jacob and the others.
