Although the rules of this nightmare had been largely ascertained,
when Thirteen Fragrances and the others were preparing to enter other branches, they encountered an unexpected difficulty.
——That was being unable to lose even if they wanted to.
Under the rules of the Thousand-Faced Phantom Tower, Challengers were not allowed to surrender.
And every time, the Rotful would realize that He was in a nightmare before the end of the first round. To be safe, the Rotful always chose to surrender in the first round.
This was no new tactic.
Annan easily recognized the Rotful's purpose.
Without a doubt... He was trying to quickly purify the nightmare and end it here.
Not by sending all the enemies back,
but by following the enemies' line of thought and rendering them powerless.
——Indeed, this was a tactic unique to the Rotful.
