Chapter 997 Tower of Heaven (2)

The moment after Marcus saw the prompt asking him if he wanted to challenge the guardian of the Tower of Heaven, he jumped back away from the gate and did not stop until the image disappeared.

He then spread out his senses to check to make sure nothing else was happening and breathed a sigh of relief when it became clear that everything was still calm.

Of course, his sudden and unexplainable action caused every member of the expedition squad to look at him in confusion and worry.

"Marcus, what happened? Are you alright?" Mrazivý asked, her expression showing her concern for him.

She had already used her Dragon Eyes to appraise him but did not find anything wrong with his status. Still, it was clear that something had happened when he checked the Tower's gate.

"I'm fine. Nothing bad happened to me.' Marcus replied, assuage everyone's unease.
