Dead End

"Haa… haa…"

Jerry was heavily breathing as he finally reached the topmost floor of the entire building.

Fortunately, he had managed to protect both himself and Ciara while ascending the numerous stairs and they finally got to the highest point.

'We couldn't explore more of the other floors because of the monsters. But…'

There really wasn't any choice. The goal was to cause as little damage as possible, considering they had little to no information concerning this deserted place.

Once Jerry reached the top, he erected a Magical barrier, preventing the monsters from climbing up to reach them.

Ciara also assisted him, making the barrier much more powerful.

In the end, they were safe from the enemies.

"Haaa… such a relief."

Jerry was genuinely relieved, though one could say Ciara was indifferent. Perhaps it was because only she was aware of the fact that there hadn't been any real danger, to begin with.

If anything, she was sad to see it all end.
