They began considering the possibility of admitting defeat in advance if they ran into those people in the second round. After all, it wasn't worth risking their lives if they didn't have confidence.

"YES!!!"
Veyra roared at the top of her lungs. Beside her, the two Queens also threw away their composure, their eyes trembling. They had never felt such overwhelming emotion before.
At the very top, Darian reached the checkpoint, quickly arriving at the mountain gate. Right behind him, all 86 disciples also crossed the finish line.
