After around two hours, the team reached the bottom of the crater, leaving the troublesome icy needles behind.
But now, they had to climb the gigantic and long slope to the north. The Volcano Wyrm Zone had a very high altitude. After all, the Zone was essentially one gigantic mountain, over ten kilometers tall.
After a bit of climbing, the officer and One noticed something.
One went over to Zero. "As my first order, I don't want you to get involved."
Zero had also noticed what was going on, and he nodded.
"Boys, who wants to prove themselves?" the officer shouted with a smirk to the team behind him. "Who's willing to take on an Early General Stage beast with only two people?"
The Bootlickers wanted to jump forward to prove themselves, but when they heard that they were only allowed to fight in a pair, most of them gave up.
But there were still some of them that were interested.
"I'm willing," One suddenly shouted.
