Initial Plans

...…

It took quite a while before Arthur brought the rest of the Empyrean Talons to the team. Bringing them here while avoiding the dangerous areas that he had encountered alongside Shin and the others earlier was more challenging than he had expected, which was why it took them longer than their estimated time.

Moreover, there were also quite a lot of stray monsters along the way, which was why they had taken a little more time during their travel.

Despite them having more members from the previous group, their members were slightly behind when it came to the experience of dealing with the monsters of the Awakened Continent.

Aside from that Arthur was the only one who was the rank of Godlike Player, so the overall quality of their team composition was inferior to Shin's and the others.
