Giveon led the head of the charge, storming up the mountain pass and into a cave carved out of the side of the mountain without a care.
To his back, Annette followed, floating off the ground. Her frame was quite petite in her full form, so even with her floating, she was able to lift off more than a meter above the ground, making the size of the cave quite clear.
"You all follow Giveon." Ryu said plainly. "I'll take another path."
The other team members hesitated before nodding. Ryu was a monster, he could definitely lead his own vanguard.
It was usually much safer for them all to be together, but they understood Ryu's intentions. If there was going to be an ambush, a possibility they still hadn't erased from their minds, having Ryu separate from them and in position to counter should it be necessary was a good idea.
Though they had come up with many countermeasures before setting out, there was nothing wrong with a bit of extra caution.
