“Just listen to me, and everything will work out!” Magnus‘ lips curled into a smile brimming with unshakable confidence,

“When you lure the enemies to the peak on the left, there’s a narrow trail at the two o’clock direction leading to the central ridge. Take that path to retreat, then head toward the five o’clock direction to the right–side mountain. Midway up the slope, you can start the fire.”

As Magnus laid out his plan, Solana and Quintus couldn’t help but exchange a glance, their expressions a mixture of doubt and curiosity.

“Magnus, how do you even know the lay of the land here? Don’t tell me you’ve been here before. You aren’t secretly tied to the Five Poison Sect, are you?” Quintus asked, his tone dripping with suspicion.

Magnus dismissed him with a scoff. “This is my first time here, same as you. But if you’re going into a fight without knowing the map, you might as well stay home and sell potatoes. I scouted the terrain thoroughly as soon as we ascended the mountain.”

Solana’s eyes widened in shock, her gaze toward Magnus now tinged with admiration. Even though she hadn’t yet figured out why he wanted them to set a fire on the slope, his meticulous preparation left her in

“Enough chatter,” Magnus said, waving them off. “Explaining more to you is pointless. Mackenzie put me in charge here, so all you have to do is follow my orders”

With that, Magnus began escorting Claudette and the others toward the right–side mountain for their

retreat.

“D“mn it! I can’t stand that guy. But for some reason, I want to do exactly what he says, just to see if he’s really as impressive as he acts!” Quintus muttered, his tone both begrudging and intrigued.

“Let’s go, Mr. Quintus,” Solana replied, ignoring his complaints. As long as he followed orders, that was all

that mattered.

Sure enough, when the main forces of the Five Poison Sect scaled the mountain, they pursued Solana and Quintus‘ team toward the left peak as planned.

With the martial prowess of Quintus, Solana, and their team, shaking off their pursuers was child’s play. Following Magnus‘ earlier instructions, they navigated through the central ridge with ease and arrived at the mountainside on the right without incident.

Per Magnus‘ orders, they waited for a considerable amount of time before Solana finally used her unique. skill to ignite a roaring fire.
