The three of them had no choice left now. They could only press forward in one burst, or they would face certain death, because they had already ruled out every other path.
"Let me tell you this: you can only climb to the top of this mountain if you have absolute faith. Otherwise, we have nowhere to go but death. You need to understand that."
Before they began, Uchiha Hikaru still had a few things he wanted to say to them. He knew what kind of dangers awaited them if they truly chose to climb this sheer cliff, so he had to make things clear.
"You don't need to say anything more. We understand all of this. We just need to work hard together. If something unexpected really happens, there's nothing we can do about it."
Uchiha Hikaru had always suspected that this young woman wanted to kill the doctor, but he had now dismissed that thought. If she truly wanted the doctor dead, she would not have waited until today.
So Uchiha Hikaru felt much more at ease now. Still, he could not rule out the possibility that the young woman harbored some dark thoughts. They still had to be careful about everything.
The three of them began preparing to grab the vines and slowly climb upward. Although it was the slowest method, it was also the safest.
Uchiha Hikaru wondered whether he could use his lightness skill to climb up in one go. But he felt that method would not be a problem if he were alone.
But they had decided to move forward as a group of three, so he absolutely could not act alone now. That would seem somewhat selfish.
Uchiha Hikaru only felt some regret now. He wondered why he had not come here alone
