Two and a half weeks passed since Shye single-handedly slaughtered the second floor's guardian, and since then, Dalton didn't dare covet the Impious Origin Belt.
After all, he wouldn't dare claim that he was as tough as the Voidos Devourer.
Moreover, they were teammates now, but if he angered Shye too much, it could be him on the receiving end of whatever skill it was that killed the second-floor guardian instantly.
As a result, Shye's authority as the party leader became rock solid after his intimidating display.
This led the party to nearly speedrun through the third and fourth floors, putting them significantly ahead of schedule.
*RING~!* *RING~!*
"Wait, someone's calling me," Shye said, walking away from the party to answer the call from his Mana Communicator.
Unfortunately, since this was the first model, one wouldn't know who was calling until one heard the voice of the other party.
