John followed Blood Moon, having already climbed thousands of steps. The others were far behind, barely visible in the distance.
Ahead of them stretched the endless staircase, reaching straight into the clouds with no end in sight.
According to Jolyne, the Sky Ladder was said to be infinite, as no one had ever made it to the very top.
At this point, even Blood Moon was struggling. The immense pressure weighed down on him, sweat continuously dripping from his forehead. With each step he took, he had to pause to catch his breath before moving on.
The strength of the Shadow Clan lay in their unpredictable and bizarre attack methods, but their raw physical endurance wasn't as impressive.
John, on the other hand, looked completely at ease, walking up the steps as if taking a casual stroll, showing no signs of reaching his limit.
He thought about mocking Blood Moon, but the guy had already sealed off all his senses, making it pointless.
