Bab 548: Cracking the code

(Central room, Leo's POV)

Leo had no way of knowing how the other guardians were holding up. Once Andheri fell and the north path opened, he was faced with a near-constant stream of adventurers.

The first wave he encountered had fewer than 80 rankers, but the next ones arrived in full groups of 100, making it impossible for him to check on the performance of other rankers.

Occasionally though, he encountered smaller groups, and it was during these moments that Leo understood that perhaps another guardian had fallen, leaving him as the sole defender of the treasure.

Naturally, he was neither immortal nor without limits.

The bold claim that he could single-handedly take down 10,000 opponents, though impressive, was far from the truth.
