The next morning, we woke up early. As soon as we finished taking down the camp and had breakfast, we started our climb up the steep mountain range. The end was in sight, and we would reach it in just a few hours. However, the closer we got, the more I questioned whether we should move forward without any information about the boss.
"Noah, you seem lost in thought. What are you thinking about?"
When I turned my gaze to the person who asked, I saw Ellen staring at me. But it wasn't just her; Noelle and Ilya were watching me too, their expressions clearly questioning why I looked so worried. I looked back at the mountain peak, which was becoming more visible, indicating we were about to reach it.
"You guys can feel the concentration of Aether at the top, right? I'm just wondering if we should keep going or if it might be better to study a bit more about what we're up against before acting"
