After Paskha and Sharleen took in the external mana, they could climb up the steps until they arrived at the five-hundredth stairs. Just as before, they encountered ten meters of flat ground before the next stair was up. Miraculously, both didn't feel tired and were still in prima to go further.
"We better rest again and absorb mana to replenish ours. What do you think?" Paskha suggested.
"Great idea. Did you notice that the distance between one stair and the next is higher? My knees feel sore from it."
"Now that you mention it... It does get higher, and the next stage will be even more challenging.
"Well, it's okay. Do you see? We have no rivals!"
