“I’m on board too.” Pineapple Beer agreed.

Riley looked at the two of them, then locked eyes with TartKing.

TartKing was the first to grin.

Hanna glanced at the three girls. She did not know all the details, but she could tell the mood was relaxed.

The constant stress she’d been carrying this whole dungeon run finally faded a little.

NorthWind walked over from the other side of the stone platform and handed Riley a makeshift map.

“We mapped out a route to Floor 13’s central hall based on everyone’s spawn points and local terrain,” he said. “It’s not far, but the path cuts through two dense bell bug zones and a patrol route for Hollow Shell Patrols.”

Riley took the map and skimmed over it quickly.

NorthWind’s markings were neat and easy to read.

RedBean had added extra notes for rally points, monster locations, crack zones and live copper wire areas.

“Can we bypass this area?” Riley asked.

“We can skip part of it,” NorthWind answar

“But going fully around will add three hours to our trip.

Now that we’re all regrouped and at full strength, we can push straight through. We just have to stay quiet. Loud noise will draw Hollow Shell Patrols over.”

Hanna pitched in with a clear plan. “We’ll move in waves. Ranged members will clear out the bell bugs first. Then we’ll cross the copper wire gaps during the lulls between bell tolls, with the shield team covering

our rear.”

Pineapple Beer’s eyes scanned the map quickly.

“There’s a shadow side passage right here.”

She pointed at a spot NorthWind had only partially marked out.

“Riley and I passed near here earlier. This path could let us avoid half the bell bug territory.”

NorthWind leaned in to check. “If this passage connects through, it’ll save us a ton of time.”

LoneWolf craned his neck to look. “Want me to go scout it?”

“I’ll go,” Pineapple Beer said immediately.

“No need.” Riley stopped them.

Both of them turned to her in surprise.

Riley kept her gaze on the map.

“We’re not splitting up. It took so much effort to get everyone back together. We’ll take the safe, steady route. There’s no rush.”

Everyone around them froze for a second.

From Floor 11 all the way to Floor 13, Riley had pushed the team nonstop.

She’d barely let anyone stop to catch their breath.

Back in the central hall on Floor 12, the team had even chugged potions on the move to save time.

Now that everyone was reunited, Riley had no urge to rush forward blindly.

The reason was simple.

She’d hurried before because she had no clue if Pineapple Beer and TartKing were safe, or even alive.

But now they were right beside her.

All sixty–eight members of Hope Guild were back together.

Reaching Floor 15 still mattered, but the team could not keep burning themselves out.

Riley turned to RedBean. “How’s everyone holding up?”

RedBean pulled up her records right away.

“No major injuries. Everyone’s physically fine.”

ToxicReaper pushed up his glasses and spoke up. “But everyone’s mentally drained. Constant marching and fighting is dulling everyone’s judgment.”

TartKing nodded in agreement. “This floor is full of tricky traps. Even a tiny delay in reaction can get people hurt.”

Riley nodded after listening to their input.

“Then we’ll head to the central hall and rest first.”

Her words instantly lifted everyone’s spirits.

It was not that the team refused to keep pushing forward.

They were just worn completely thin.

Starting from Floor 8, they’d been running nonstop. Black Fog, sudden teleports, monster ambushes and constant separation stress had pushed them to their limits.

Even during short breaks in the central halls, no one had gotten proper rest.

This long, grueling march had everyone running on nothing but potions and sheer grit.

Their bodies could hold on, but their minds were exhausted.

Hanna quickly stepped up to arrange the team formation.

“Bruce, lead the shield team on the front line. Riley, Pineapple Beer and LoneWolf, handle frontline support and mobility. TartKing, Nobody and ToxicReaper, stay in the mid section. RedBean stay center and keep track of supplies and members. NorthWind, take two people to scout ahead. Everyone else stick to your assigned groups.”

Pineapple Beer looked at Hanna. “I can scout the path ahead.”

“You just cleared a tough dungeon,” Hanna replied. “Stick with the team for now.”

Pineapple Beer said nothing in reply.

Riley looked at her too. “Follow the team arrangement.”

Pineapple Beer hesitated briefly and then nodded.

“Got it.”

TartKing whispered quietly. “Finally, someone’s reining Pineapple in.”

Pineapple Beer shot her a look. “You’re stuck in the mid section too.“”

TartKing immediately stood up straight. “I’ve always been a good team player.”

Riley glanced at them and chose not to tease her.

The team set off shortly after.

The sixty–eight–person group marched through the tunnels. Their presence was noticeable, yet they moved with steady, solid discipline.
