Progress Before The Deadline (9)

Earth, February 16th.

Over ten days passed by since Big D informed Almond about the upcoming dire circumstances of Earth.

Grand Abyss Labyrinth, Sanctuary Area.

On the Mountain of Radiant Zenith, Grim Breakers were gathered and preparing to dive into the Labyrinth gate that was about to open in an hour and start this month's first cycle.

Everyone regularly talked about Almond and believed that he would return, mainly thanks to Lily's influence.

Everyone had become Platinum-rank Adventurers last month by clearing the 8th Floor, having reached Platinum level 50, but also losing two comrades.

They were about to dive in again as they had worked a lot and improved themselves, especially Lily who was leaps and bounds ahead of others in terms of combat power.

Watching them from the pavilion's roof, a cat and a bird were talking to each other.

"How's Almond doing, Master? It's been ten days since you confided him about the matter."
