From MC's Perspective:
About twenty minutes later, I finally reached the entrance of the inner area. The atmosphere shifted; the air seemed thicker, more oppressive. I could feel the weight of the looming danger ahead.
Beyond this point, monsters were far deadlier. But I needed a Class-7 monster core to complete my task, so I had no choice but to venture deeper. If I encountered one of these monsters, great. If not, I could always change direction before it got too late.
With that in mind, I soared towards the inner area, pushing myself to move faster. The towering trees and darkened sky began to blur as I flew deeper. Just as I was settling into my pace, something caught my attention. A group of warriors was heading directly towards me.
