Adam followed the group deeper and deeper into one of the tighter tunnels, which grew narrower and more suffocating the further they went.
The humans kept screaming, but what could any of them really do in this situation?
They barely had any strength left to move anyway. Their rising voices amounted to nothing more than a last-ditch effort to survive.
As they descended into the steep, narrow throat of the cavern, the group eventually stopped at a pool of water, a small pond glowing faintly in the darkness of the cramped space.
Despite being forbidden from using magic during this training mission, Adam found himself standing before a body of water that clearly reeked of Water Astrum.
When he peered into it, he saw what lay on the other side, a massive castle filled with even more monsters. It was obvious now: this was a portal.
And that realization made him think even deeper.
"Why the hell is there a portal here?"
