Clovis was leaning on the tree while looking at the bright night sky, his gaze didn't have its focus as though he were deep in thought. "To think it would be a disaster like this." Kanaria shook her head helplessly. "We could still do it if we pushed forward," said Jay while shaking his finger, gesturing that she was wrong. "I believe that we have retreated far too fast." "But the strength of the beasts was much higher than anything we'd faced so far." Melody didn't agree with his opinion. If they had made a rash decision earlier, someone might actually have died. "Still, don't you think that we could still fight against those beasts a bit longer? Maybe we'd find another way to break through." Jay furrowed his eyebrows. Suddenly, Clovis opened his mouth. "No. Retreating was the best option. The beast's unprecedented strength might play a role, but the biggest reason we lost today was because we underestimated the terrain. Weren't your swings not as powerful as usual?" "That was because I misstepped." "That's exactly what I mean by underestimating the terrain. If you could swing like you were on the ground, you would be fine. If the path wasn't so narrow, I could increase my speed. Kanaria was in an awkward position and couldn't see the overall situation like usual and Melody had a hard time supporting us because she had to watch her step." Kanaria and Melody lowered their heads, knowing that their performance was only half of their best. Jay gritted his teeth, unable to deny those facts. "Still, the biggest mistake would be that I underestimated the terrain and didn't make a thorough plan that allowed everyone to do their best." Clovis shook his head helplessly. As the leader, he was to blame.@@@@ That just pissed Jay off even further. But if he was just taking his anger out on him, what was the difference between him and a baby? Even a baby could cry if they didn't like something. It was his job to think about the solution. Unlike usual, Jay bit his lips and took a deep breath, thinking about this matter over and over again. ... The next day. Clovis looked at the steep wall and tossed his short sword as high as possible. His short sword had an incredible sharpness that could easily penetrate the rock. In addition, the armband allowed him to change the short sword's mode and make it stick. After that, he pulled himself up, climbing almost ten meters in less than four seconds. After that, he stabbed the wall with his other sword before pulling the short sword and tossing it up again. He repeated this process three more times and reached the height of their previous climb in just fifteen seconds. He had some climbing equipment and lots of ropes on his back. So, when he reached the narrow path where they could stand, he screwed the bolts into the walls and tossed the rope. This way, Jay and the others could climb. Instead of waiting for them, Clovis continued climbing the wall at a high speed. In just three minutes, he managed to climb for more than a hundred meters while preparing the ropes for the other three. This was the method that Jay was talking about yesterday. He took this challenge as a trip, so he thought about climbing it together instead of using the most effective method. In the previous attempt, the beasts noticed them after four minutes, so they would definitely alert the others at any time by now. Even though they had killed all the beasts in the area before climbing, there was no guarantee that the other beasts would just sit down in their original location. That was why Clovis moved as quickly as possible. Finally, five minutes into the climb, he reached the level where the ruin was located. He hurriedly screwed the bolts into the rock and tossed the ropes again before hearing a howl from the west, alerting the beasts in the area. *Aoooo!*
