Graaaaaah!

At the appearance of the unfamiliar staircase, everyone was briefly startled, but it didn't take long for them to adjust. After all, it was a massive temple. With such a towering structure, stretching several stories high, it wasn't unusual for the elevation of the terrain to shift. In fact, Lucian and Kane couldn't help but burst out in laughter at the sight of the stairs.

"Haha! I was wondering why the temple was so tall—guess it's because of this!" Lucian exclaimed.

"Are we supposed to climb all the way to the top? This is going to be tough," added Kane.

Justin clicked his tongue at their exaggerated reactions. The way they glanced at him sideways made it clear what they were thinking.

'They want to claim the high ground during a potential battle, hoping to discourage us from making any rash moves.'
