This was the main objective.
Only when spirituality hit 20 points could Carlos upgrade the Shield Guards into way more powerful Dark Knights.
"South, there's a decent bunch of monsters."
The three retainers stayed top-tier forces even in Dark Mist First Layer.
Carlos wasn't sweating safety.
"Right now isn't the time for long-distance flying!"
Carlos looked up at the sky where waves of cold winds came together, forming massive ice storms tearing through the heavens.
This was Dark Mist First Layer's signature cold wind weather—seriously powerful ice storms that shredded anything in the sky.
"Since that's how it is..."
Drawing on his memory's familiarity with this place, Carlos figured out which way to go.
He called up twelve of the fastest Redrose Shield Guards, four of them hauling an Iron Palanquin.
This palanquin was totally made of fire stone, naturally pumping out heat. Thick animal furs were spread on top.
