While Cedric was on a short break before moving to the 40th floor, Paul and Lisa focused on how the other participants were doing.
Some are doing fine; most are struggling. There were a few who remained on the platform of cubes for the time being to recover from their injuries. A few of them even suffered from grievous ones and would take longer to recover.
As for those who were in the middle of the battle, they're struggling too. The enemies being thrown their way were far from weak. Even the most talented ones were finding it difficult to ascend further.
