Atlas and the four girls climbed up the vines, using magic to keep the monsters off them until they reached a certain height, at which point they stopped chasing them. Grishna called out, ''They hate the sunlight, look.''

She pointed up, and the sunlight illuminated the vines and surrounding walls. Atlas breathed a breath of relief as his heart pounded due to the situation. He continued to climb until a hand reached over and grabbed him.

Estelle smiled and pulled him up before dropping to the ground to catch her breath. Atlas looked at the blonde. ''Thanks,'' he said.

The knight nodded while resting as she leaned against a tree. He did the same thing as Lilith, who stopped clinging to him. Atlas looked around and realized they were in a small clearing that bordered the chasm.
