While Jeremy was busy fine-tuning the settings of his mechanical puppets at home, Howard, Ella, and their team found themselves in a near-hopeless situation in an instance on the outskirts of Moonlight City.
The instance Howard and his team had entered was not initially considered to be of high difficulty.
Howard's original intention was to use this instance to help his subordinates get accustomed to the rhythm of combat. After completing the first instance, he planned to lead his subordinates to a more challenging one.
However, the moment they entered the instance, Ella alerted Howard that the difficulty level of the instance had changed.
At first, Howard dismissed her concerns, thinking that perhaps Ella's perceived decline in strength was due to personal reasons.
However, as they delved deeper into the instance, he suddenly realized that the enemies they encountered were significantly stronger than before.
