With heavy breathing and steps that exhausted more energy than normal, HugeP finally caught up to Balatro.
Other teammates were beside him, and the Tier IV combatants who didn't swallow the pills to reach the next tier regretted it too late.
"Where is Balatro?" he asked, his darting eyes furiously.
The entire atmosphere was grimmer than they expected.
Balatro's Order saw how a small, frozen village was crumbling before their eyes.
Not only were corpses littered on the ground, but blood pooled in the snow.
Amidst this chaos, they caught a glimpse of Nero.
The cat was quicker and deadlier than anything they had ever seen.
She was one-shoting tall creatures, sometimes with her paws or shadows, but other times, she used wizardly spells to slaughter them in batches.
"So this is what high-tier fights look like," HugeP pondered excitedly.
Seeing how his guild members fared, he knew they also shared the same thoughts and wished to reach the same power.
