Floor 3, Endless Wasteland.
Standing on a giant boulder, Rio used his mana perception to search the area around him.
[That guy is really good at running… We were just right behind him a while ago, and now he gone! Unbelievable!!]
Rio shook his head at Shadow's words; he glanced at the ruins nearby and spoke in his usual emotionless tone.
"The main problem is that he's the master of the spire of ascension…"
"Even if his connection with the spire of ascension is already severed, he knows the layout of this entire place…"
"He's using the terrain to his advantage…"
Rio's face was now just as emotionless as it always has been, but now his eyes seemed even more dead.
Advancing to S-rank pushed him further on the path of becoming an 'Emotionless Weapon of Mass Destruction.'
Although he doesn't really want to walk this 'Path,' for some reason, he's incapable of changing it.
Thankfully, he still has Lia.
