'Four hours... Four hours...'
Mark ran through the forest.
He stayed away from the area the Insect Monsters had destroyed.
'We've already made it to the wall that limits the forest. Then... Should I move along that wall? I might end up finding the Guardian instead. They've always been waiting in those Boss Rooms but... There's no reason to believe it'll be the same now...'
Alongside Mark, was his Typhoon Wolf Underling.
Gaze-
'I'm being watched... Something has been following me for a while now. A gaze... Can't tell how far or close the one watching is though...'
The rest of his Underlings had been ordered to stay on the Second Floor to level up.
All the Monster Species on that Floor had already been encountered and defeated.
Additionally, all Underlings had already developed both Heat and Fire Resistance, except the Typhoon Wolf Underling.
Mark ran and ran, while moving his gaze went from right to left.
