"You don't necessarily have to win against all of the wraiths. As I said earlier, you just need to survive the seven days on the first floor. Hehe! Isn't it easy? Do your best.'
Layla finished her speech on a cheering note. That certainly relieved some pressure off of the butcher's psyche. But the black lines on his forehead didn't disappear as he realized the much-needed respite was still ten hours away from him.
'Easy? Easy? This fucking brat….'
Eren wanted to curse Layla for her easy remarks. But he stopped himself and tried to self motivate himself instead:
'Heh! It'll become impossible to clear the floor at this rate if I just get scared at the beginning. Snap out of it, Eren fucking Idril. You are better than this.
Just 10 hours, right? I can do this.'
Eren said to himself something he didn't truly believe. The odds were still stacked against him. He needed a trick that could work against the wraiths while enabling him to face the least amount of repercussions.
