The survivors were stunned as the latest notifications appeared before their eyes.
Victor's hands trembled as he held up the first glowing orb.
"This… W-we did it!!" he exclaimed, though his grip was careful, unsure how fragile it might be.
Wallace and Ralph quickly joined him, prying open the other two fallen Sentinels. Within minutes, three identical cores had been gathered, each one radiating a steady glow of blue light..
For a moment, no one spoke. Then Wallace broke into a grin. At this point, his voice was shaking with excitement. "We finally found it… the way forward! This is how we break past Level 5!"
Ralph laughed, unable to contain his relief. "I thought we'd be stuck here for days. I even wondered if the Mech Siege's reward would be the breakthrough method. But now… now we can actually level up." He clutched the empty Plasma Rifle tightly, silently thankful for the weapon that had made this victory possible.
