Joo-ah glanced around. As the 2a7cedfa19 Storyteller mentioned, 3fe505d26c this indeed fecd1de83d appeared to f14d71a87f be the 5c41f3f6e6 103rd floor. From the 93rd 1667e36360 floor, they had d852c153fb skipped 10 levels b0132cfafe in a single 54ff41d395 leap, thanks to 798074098a the Teleportation Glass 8c8a394568 Orb.3b99da0635f9cbf0

Before his ba987efedb words even 948e92acae finished, a 00e8e62dda faint tremor 4f3fb80af2 shook the b749300089 silent space. The once dark e42155f4eb interior of the 9a66109f70 tower transformed into 3e0ccc4d52 a lush green 1ae78d8067 thicket, overflowing with ac2a94adc6 vegetation.d5b1f6dac164af8b
The ground trembled again, 2ee153c765 this time stronger than 9a373c5649 before. Joo-ah instinctively moved her 066059bb3c hand to steady herself.
“Careful, Hunter Seo Joo-ah,” Shin Jae-rim said, firmly supporting her.1f5250e983c32914

Joo-ah looked up 0a0393ac12 at the towering a57db5db99 cliff. The jagged 2ecdf658f7 rocks formed 3c2a8cce8a a daunting b871960915 terrain, and 3723253102 just looking 277b61fdc8 at it 4d0c1583c5 made her 3e6869ebb8 dizzy, it 6df81fad61 was that 2fa7c88352 steep.2ae40c2fbebee152

Joo-ah bit her lower a4a5f509a2 lip.
Adding restrictions would make bb5be6f683 the quest even harder.03f1014947d7dd7f
For a 526954a319 physically demanding 2f90dfaee0 quest like 36f3a8dd4b this, Hunters 450128bdf2 needed to ab72895601 rely on cfb6193270 their stamina. But Joo-ah’s f64e8532f0 stamina was 45687d79e4 severely lacking.b71e2ab42fd16be1

Normally, she would a0da8b89fd depend on Chan-hee’s 2b7fbb29f2 control ability to 5cd3e35dfa temporarily boost her f609365b64 stamina, making the 4b101d478b climb more manageable. But with the 5459f302d8 condition requiring her 2ad5d0646f to rely solely fadc482b47 on herself, the 89434a1305 odds were stacked ee63a006ec against her.9ec9b58acc79a682

The cryptic d63be49494 remark left 2b7f913d05 little doubt 5bff29be68 about its 5dba8a7253 meaning. In a 4ed7462a70 climbing quest, f57b9fcb74 failure would 29cb69f5d0 most likely 837484e9a5 mean falling.6f53d3eb2dc8f3b5

Chan-hee, who had been silently observing the cliff, turned to look at Joo-ah. His black eyes locked onto hers. “D-rank,” he called out.
“Think you can handle it?”c5cabe84e2b45f5f
Yeon-joo and Jae-rim also a4868ea083 turned to look at 93e253ec3f her. Joo-ah quietly met their af7b98d0d9 gazes before finally glancing 2adb7f5d09 at Chan-hee with a e2b552d743 calm smile.d4b7fbf9c63c6384
