As I drew closer to the tower, a palpable sense of oppression filled the air. Whispers, hisses, and eerie moans could be heard emanating from within, and the very ground seemed to pulse with demonic energy.
It didn't bother me very much since my blood was mixed with demon blood. Rather, I felt quite comfortable.
…The same couldn't be said for the others.
"Are you guys okay? We can take a rest if you want. It's not like we have to rush directly."
Their conditions were quite worrying.
It wasn't so much for Jin and Amanda, who were somewhat accustomed to the demonic energy due to their experience in Ka Mankhut, but the same couldn't be said for Emma.
Her complexion was rather pale, and her breath was stagnant.
The only one that seemed to be completely fine was Liam.
I wasn't surprised, though.
He had spent quite a few years in the demon realm, where the demonic energy was as thick as it could be.
Compared to what he had experienced back then, this was child's play.
"I.. I'm good."
Emma muttered, looking around and clenching her teeth.
Judging from her expression, I could tell that she had realized that she was the only one struggling and was just trying not to be a burden.
"You know, if you're worried about being a burden, then don't be. You'd be a burden if you carried on right now and got tired later when it truly matters."
As if her inner thoughts were exposed, Emma's face changed, and her mouth closed.
She looked around for a moment and sat down.
"Alright, I'm sorry."
"Don't be."
Thankfully, she wasn't stubborn about the matter and sat down.
I unknowingly smiled when I saw that and turned my attention back toward the tower that was only a couple of kilometers away from us.
The journey to the tower so far was unobstructed.
Although there were a few guards patrolling the area, it wasn't something that posed any trouble for us.
Aside from Liam and I, everyone else was around rank.
