The group withdrew to a position far from the battlefield, then had Garrick start digging.
From here, Ethan could use [True Sight] to monitor the fighting without getting caught in it. It was the ideal spot.
Nearly every Outland Beast in the Suncrest Range had joined the battle, so they were relatively safe here.
Garrick soon dug out a spacious underground chamber, and everyone moved inside. Ethan remained outside to watch the distant battlefield.
They had collected nine Tier 35 crystal cores and more than twenty at Tier 34. There was enough for everyone to improve, but Chris was the priority.
Nine Tier 35 crystal cores would bring him to the peak of Tier 35. Once he consumed another Stage SS crystal core, he could advance directly to Stage SS.
Given what they were planning next, Chris's invisibility made him the perfect choice for a surprise attack.
Before long, everyone began consuming crystal cores and increasing their strength.
The battle in the distance remained brutal.
