It seemed as if they were waiting for this, with a surge of Spiritual Energy, their figures also shot forth, the dozen gathered figures also pretty eye-catching.
In a short span of a minutes, numerous figures landed on the lowest stone platforms. However, with the exception of a tiny handful, most did not linger for even a second, instead using the platform as a foothold to propel their bodies forward again, heading towards the higher platforms.
