Three minutes passed quickly, yet the Dark Magic Creature—the Giant Frog—inside the five-story building still hadn't been cleared out.
When the next cycle began, everyone reappeared atop the concrete Fire Dragon, flames burning in their eyes. After a brief discussion, they couldn't wait for Anton to arrive. They mounted their Flying Broomsticks and raced toward the building.
