Before diving back into the gate, Ethan took a moment to prepare.
Not physically, but mentally.
Because the moment he exited the Tower, there would be no pause, no breathing room, no second chances to rethink anything.
He would return to the exact instant he had left.
'I need to get rid of that damned butterfly creature first.'
His thoughts were sharp, focused, and methodical.
He replayed the battlefield in his mind, with each of the three B Rank Beasts being dangerous in its own way.
But one of them stood above the rest.
'That butterfly is the problem.'
Its hypnosis, control, and ability to turn allies into enemies - that was the real threat.
'Then once Dave is free from its mental grasp, he can zap the other two beasts.'
Ethan's lips curled slightly.
He had seen the power of those blasts, and although it required time to charge, they were devastating.
'And with Wolfy now a B Rank Fenrir…'
His confidence solidified.
'We'll dominate easily even without Dave's attacks.'
