Hua Fei and Raymon Tuskin accepted defeat, giving up their potions.
After healing them, Noah, Xavier, Talia, and Galvaren left, roaming around different places, hoping to find a hidden area or challenge before the deadline.
Meanwhile, Almond and Lily leisurely coursed through the Tempestcall Tengus' territory. Almond's spirit wraiths made sure to kill monsters within 200 meters of Almond so he could absorb their spirits.
He made sure to absorb new ones thrice to increase his stats as much as possible while putting rest in the Spirit Forge factory.
They also encountered monsters, but Lily dealt with them as Almond didn't want to get more EXP and stay at level 40.
They planned to cover as much area filled with monsters as possible and arrive at the floor boss area right after 15 hours. Almond had the route in his mind, and he also included a secret area on the way, which had a lot of monsters gathered, much like White Polan's Lair.
