Age of Adepts

chapter-75
Once again Greem returned to the Underground World. He was no longer nervous like the first time, instead, he was filled with anticipation.
For all the elite apprentices of training camp, every single progress they made on the path of maturity was made by stepping on the bones of those Fallen apprentices. Therefore, if Greem really wanted to rise up in rank as soon as possible, he needed to feed on the flesh and blood of his brethren who lived in the Underground World. This was the only way he could make himself stronger.
After grouping up in the mission hall, the team of nine members once again set out on their dangerous Underground World journey.
The accidental death of Matthew and the severely wounded Leo had let the team to realize how dangerous the Underground World really was. Thus, while having a temporary rest at the front line camp, the team had an intense quarrel over how to accomplish their mission.
Currently, Leo was still burdened with injuries.Of course, those flesh wounds had long been recovered. But, some of the treacherous curses were deeply rooted inside his body. These had caused him to suffer badly. Nevertheless, after spending the last couple of days healing himself, he had finally dispelled all the curses. But still, it was tough for him to restore his severely damaged body to its peak in such a short period of time.
This also meant that the team had one less Advanced Apprentice. In addition, currently, Pseudo-Adept Leo could only be considered as an Advanced Apprentice.
The weakening of the team’s overall strength had shaken their courage. A few of the conservative members kept voicing their desire of finishing the mission as one whole team. Even though it would mean tripling or quadrupling the time to finish, it would no doubt be the safest approach.
Presumably, those underground black bastards wouldn’t have the courage to ambush a mission team consisting of three Pseudo-Adepts, and five Advanced Apprentices.
This suggestion was voiced by Isaac, and the majority of the Advanced Apprentices immediately agreed.
