The duo traveled through the forest. During that time, Lucas either gave pointers to Jerry, or they remained silent. At least, Lucas did.
With Jerry's habit of constantly talking, Lucas could tell he didn't feel the need to be vigilant.
'I need to test him…' Lucas thought, scanning the area. He spotted many monsters and animals within range.
But these creatures were too small. From Lucas's understanding, they only hunted smaller prey until they evolved or grew bigger.
Time passed without incident, and finally, Lucas stopped.
"I don't see the dungeon," Jerry muttered, but when he noticed Lucas, he became alert as well.
"It's time to test the group's tank. Jerry, be ready. Enemies incoming from the west."
Jerry tensed up, looking west for a few seconds but seeing nothing. With a frown, he was about to rebuke Lucas, but then he realized Lucas was no longer beside him.
His eyes widened in shock. How could he vanish in an instant?
