The stone pillars were accurately placed throughout the second layer at about a hundred meters from one another.
However, it was a harrowing task to cover those hundred meters. Especially considering the party members had to plow through dozens of Mana Liquefaction-level blood beasts and countless more Mana Foundation-level beasts.
By now, Party A had become a cohesive unit. Edward was the main attacker, Michael was the main defender, meanwhile Biden, Chris, Mikar, and Lisa provided support.
Under Edward's leadership, the party had covered ground for an entire day. At the same time, they made sure to get their hands on as many blood cores as possible.
Retrieving all the cores from the corpses of the slain beasts wasn't viable. After all, every time they killed one beast, two more took its place.
They slaughtered blood beasts, climbed the pillar to recuperate their mana and stamina, tended to wounds, and then began their slaughter all over again.
