Chapter 155 Preparation Done, Onwards to the Heroic Challenge
"This pair of gauntlets has a pretty good effect. One of the backliners can use them on me or someone else in an emergency. Using these gauntlets won't diminish your combat style even if you don't use it for attacking in any way," Almon said. "Check the effects and see who is willing to take them."
"Damn, they got some high attack power!" Amir exclaimed.
"True. I guess we can let Adrian use them in the next floor's Heroic Challenge," Xavier nodded. "With such effects, he would be able to serve as an off-tank warrior."

"Wow, this is pretty sick," Marcus blinked as he exclaimed. "Considering Almond's stats, whoever wears this will get a big boost."
"With this item worn by a backline, if the Heroic Boss someone infiltrated the backlines, I can swap positions to counter or attack," Almond smiled.
"Then this should be given to someone who can cast long-range control attacks," Lily said with a glint in her eyes. "Suppose the Heroic Boss suddenly arrived at the backliners. The person who equips this item can swap with Almond and also release a control-type attack on the boss from long-range."
"That narrows our list," Kira grinned. "We have three people with control powers. Natalia, Jemma, and Maya, but Maya is a better choice, I guess."
"Yeah," Almond nodded in agreement. "Maya, these are yours. You also have experience of how unpredictable those Heroic Bosses can be, so you can react properly as well."
All Spirit Wraiths who were in Silver rank had broken through to Gold rank, so they could now go above 100 points in each stat, but Sylvia already reached 150 in all stats after absorbing that tree.
She received a new Trait called Mother of Nature, which increases comprehension of Flora element and gathers Flora element power around her more! She could enter a new mode with this trait, turning into a tree to increase healing, calm her mind, and help focus on everyone around her!
She didn't get any skills, but she felt she could awaken a skill later by training.
With Sylvia's return, it was finally time to begin the challenge.
Everyone gathered in the circle as Kira put the items in the magic circle.
[Your Party is qualified for Heroic Challenge Mode. Do you wish to proceed?]
"Everyone, just say yes to this question in your mind," Almond said.
[Everyone in the party has agreed. From hereon, you are not allowed to leave the Labyrinth before completing the challenge.]
The ground shook slightly before the magic circle split open, revealing a hazy portal.
[Please enter the portal to begin the challenge.]
"So we can't even leave anymore, eh? Damn, that's brutal," Amir muttered.
"It's do or die," Lily sharply grinned. "Either you win against the Heroic Boss, or you die trying."
The first-timers suddenly felt the pressure slightly increasing.
"Keep your mind clear, don't panic, and fucking make a move when necessary," Almond spoke in a stern voice. "Don't mess up. Remember, messing up means death."
Kira, Noah, and others somberly nodded.
"Let's go."
Everyone entered the crack one by one, arriving in a huge dark hall with dim lights and low visibility.
Almond had a strong bad feeling when he entered this hall and saw how it had low visibility and dim lights.
