Time crawled at a sloth's pace for Vale.
It had been two weeks since Ximena was forced to use Crystal Prison, and he'd made little progress on that front. They did widen the hallway and tuck her away by the Dungeion Core, but that was all that happened.
Well, he also found a potential person to heal her… but it was even more unlikely to get their assistance than Salome.
Also… Vale was getting quite bored.
After they challenged and beat Level 7, which consisted of Emergent versions of the felines, plus snakes, and saw the terrifying jump in power to Level 8, there'd been nothing for him to do.
While Level 8 would have been easily beatable with Ximena… it was simply too risky without her. At the moment, at least.
'I feel bad for the others who had to do these Levels without having summoned two Demon Class…'
Not that he actually felt bad for them, they were all kind of dicks. But Vale would still be on Level 3 if not for his luck with Champions…
