The Emperor set a three-day limit for the end of the hunt. If someone didn't return within three days, they would be disqualified.

Today marked the second day since the participants entered the forest. However, Ellie's heart grew more anxious for unknown reasons. She felt uneasy watching Cassius enter the forest.

"It's nothing. Uh, Ethan... what do you think, is Cassius strong?"

Hearing Ellie's question, Ethan recalled the words of his friend Xavier.
