In the dark, stone chamber, the only light came from the candles hanging on the walls, casting faint shadows around the space. Everything else was so dark it was impossible to tell if there were any pits or other hidden dangers lurking.

However, the sound of footsteps could be heard as Seong and Lord Paragon Gridri walked forward.

The one leading the way was Paragon, holding a torch, but Seong was further ahead, his expression set with a focused determination.

"Just keep going this way, and you’ll reach the labyrinth entrance," Paragon explained.

He was about to ask whether anyone was guarding this area, but Seong didn’t need that clarification. He had seen the heavily armed guards posted earlier, so he knew it wasn’t necessary to ask.

And then,

* There’s a special magic here.

‘I see.’

According to Helena, there were numerous magical wards in place here, so there was no need to worry.

After guiding Seong to the path, Paragon gave a brief nod as Seong acknowledged him.

Before Seong could start, Paragon spoke again, his expression filled with deep concern.

"Be careful."

It was evident that Paragon had endured much in the past few months, and the weight of his worries showed.

Seong, noticing Paragon's unease, responded with reassurance.

"Of course. After all, I'm just an outsider."

"Ha, I've never heard that statement sound so reassuring. Here, take this." Paragon handed over an unextinguishable torch.

Seong shook his head, declining the offer.

Then, out of the darkness, shadows appeared behind Seong, glowing faintly with teal eyes.

Paragon, although aware of Seong’s allies, instinctively took a step back, startled by the sudden appearance of so many eyes.

* Hey, Noctrynium, is it still not working?

* It’s fine.

*

*

* She’s not someone you and your subordinates can handle alone yet.

* !!!!!!!

* Show them the fruits of your training, Leonic! It’s your turn to show what you’ve learned!
