After a brief conversation about his plans, the girls seemed surprisingly interested in carrying it out. The reasons for this revealed themselves. Like Zane, Elena and the others were also becoming worried about the stagnation of their skills.
They had effectively mastered their current skills, bringing them up to the highest tier possible. If they wanted to continue to grow more than just physically and mentally, then there were really only two ways to do so.

Second, they could hunt Tier I Horde Kings, and take their blood crystals, which would grant the one who consumed it a second skill. Something that they were all eager to get their hands on. Because of this, Zane and the girls made a plan.
