Wow...

Damn, this is huge.

It really feels like it reaches the sky.

And this thing was just sleeping
in the ground near Aspio.
I can't believe it...

That formula around it must
be to absorb life force.

...It looks that way.

This isn't good. It looks like it
came together pretty quickly.

So there's not much time left.

That works for me. People really
get into the spirit of things when
they're short on time.

That's true, but don't you think
this spells trouble for us?

If it's absorbing life from
everyone, that should affect
us as well, but...

Estelle?

The spirits... They've swathed
us in their power.

So we should be fine as long
as the spirits' power is greater
than that formula.

Looks like we'll just have
to run to the top before
their power runs out!

We'll be exhausted before we
even reach the Adephagos...

Can't we just get
on Ba'ul and fly
up to the top?

I doubt it would affect Ba'ul, but
we probably couldn't take it.

You just don't want to climb up.

Of course not!
Who do you think I am?!

Sorry old man, but it looks
like we're walking.

Yay...

Let's brace ourselves and press on.

Yeah. There's no telling
what's up ahead.
Stay on your toes.
