Scaling to the higher ground of the mountain was not an easier journey than passing the gloomy forest was.
On the bright side, they encountered no monsters but Northern on his personal opinion theorized that fighting a horde of savage rank monsters was a much better choice than climbing up a mountain.
…and trying to match the speed of a terror.
At first, it was bearable. Since the place was almost like flat land but steep. But as they began to go further, its steepness began to get disturbing, before Northern could recount anything, he was beginning to climb with his hands.
Climbing was so easy for the monster, all it just had to do was hop from one point to another, going higher and higher.
Northern at first tried to emulate that method of climbing but he quickly realized he had overestimated himself after almost losing his grip upon landing.
Hence he decided to stick to this method even though it was slow.
