"Take care not to fall in. You won't come back up," said Atlan's bodyguard beside him.
Atlan had no intention of falling into that abyss. If even Specialist-realm Saviors were wary of this trap, then a Student-realm porter like him would stand no chance of surviving that.
"Let's find another route," Ninth commanded.
This was the Scout's job, so he quickly surveyed his surroundings without going off too far. Atlan saw his body lighting up in warm light with his Thermal Vision, so he knew that the Scout was using his LifeSkill to discern any traps in front of him.
And according to his expert judgment, the best way to go forward was to go back to where they came from—back to the portal.
Ninth trusted the Scout's judgment and ordered a tactical retreat that her team quickly followed. Atlan tagged along and followed in their footsteps.
