Lagging Challenge
'They aren't single-minded after all.'
Once Leo encountered monster corpses in his path, he was able to confirm that a human was responsible for this. After all, the precise cuts could only have been made using a sword.
There was another pair on this stage, and they had actually taken the initiative to clear the challenge!
'It's probably her.'
The distinct wounds and the initiative already gave Leo an idea of who he was about to encounter. Unlike how things seemed so far, not all the scammers on Aurora's team were useless.
Although they were far from Aurora's caliber, there were one or two who had actual fighting strength. At the very least, the moderate monsters in this Gate wouldn't pose a challenge to them.
'Even then, they are as predictable as always.'
That being said, it didn't mean that they were proper members of the team. They were still a burden, and proof that was readily accessible to Leo.
'They… She already cleared the challenge.'
