The descent from the cliff wasn't hard, but everyone moved with more caution than usual; after all, they were in enemy territory.
Even Gabriel didn't dare to act cocky here. Unlike the previous floors, it was the first time he was experiencing this area as well.

The jagged rocks were uneven and slick with faint red moss that made a wet squelch sound. Far below, the forest stretched twisted trees rustling in the wind.
Anna, the huntress, went first. With the help of the Swift Silverwind Boots, her figure blurred as she slipped ahead, hopping lightly from rock to rock before vanishing behind an outcropping.
Cassie glanced down nervously. The support mage felt exposed, as if just a single attack could end her life. She instinctively moved closer to Sophie.
Gabriel saw the reaction but didn't comment.
