Shaai was initially hesitant about Jolly getting close to Yona.
However, when he assured her that she would be staying by his side as well, the S-Ranked Elementalist readily agreed.
It didn't take Shaai long to persuade the elders of the Darkmoon Fellowship to adopt a 'split and search' approach.
Soon, all members of the Darkmoon Fellowship cult, along with their allies, were dispersed.
Jolly began exploring the depths of the red forest with two S-Ranked ladies.
He positioned himself in the middle while the two ladies flanked him as they traveled in a particular direction.
Jolly was crystal clear about his determination to survive. He wouldn't allow trivial matters like "male pride" to jeopardize his safety.
He was more than happy to let the two women protect him while they tackled all the risks with their own strength.
