Part 1: Abyss Preparation
This happened before Tyler's team was about to enter the Abyss.
"What if the Abyss is full of Abyss Mist?" Mathilda asked, her voice laced with curiosity.
Tyler raised an eyebrow. "Did you even read about the Abyss?"
"Only about the plants and monsters... which are basically ingredients," Mathilda admitted sheepishly.
Tyler sighed. "Hmmm... Well, when the Abyss Breakout happened, creatures from multiple floors appeared in our world. The ones I was assigned to had plant-type monsters, which means they must have crawled out from a Forest-Type Floor filled with mist. Even though some of the locations where the breakouts occurred also had mist, the concentration was relatively low. This suggests that there are floors in the Abyss where the mist is scarce."
He continued, "Abyss explorers have confirmed this, but we should still be careful. We'll prepare defensive arrays and potions just to be safe."
