You're way behind, then we just get enough point to stay at the top of the event.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex and Alice would easily do that since they were the strongest, but although Aurelia was currently also in the top 10, they wanted her to be top 3.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That way, they would get all of the most precious rewards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few minutes later, they finally decided to move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn't take long for Aurelia to see Alex and Alice fighting the monsters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You guys can actually handle monsters at level 400–500?\" Aurelia asked, breaking the silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her tone carried a mix of disbelief and curiosity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex grinned. \"Yeah. Why? Worried?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurelia scoffed, her golden eyes glinting. \"Hardly. Just... impressed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well,\" Alice added with a playful smirk, \"he can handle level 500 monsters. I can probably take on ones up to level 420.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurelia shook her head, muttering under her breath. \"Unbelievable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alice handled most of the ranged attacks, using her bow to take out enemies before they got too close.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex stepped in when the fights became more intense, his movements precise and effortless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurelia tried to help, but it quickly became clear that her attacks barely made a dent in the high-leveled monsters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She gritted her teeth in frustration, but Alex gave her a reassuring glance. \"Stay back for now. We'll handle it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They progressed for nearly an hour before the jungle opened into a large clearing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A deep, guttural roar echoed through the trees, sending a chill down their spines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What was that?\" Aurelia whispered, her voice trembling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\" Alex couldn't mistake that, \"Floor boss.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Floor what-?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn't have the time to finish that the [Guardian Ape] stepped into view.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A towering monstrosity of muscle and fury.
