"Therefore, the Mana Crystal Vein must not be lost!"
Jonathan’s words silenced the crowd of Heroes.
Ethan nodded in agreement, saying: "There’s no time to lose. First, let’s dismiss everyone in the underground city. This time, we must uncover all the hidden dangers. I want to see what exactly is causing mischief beneath the ground."
A group of Heroes, fully armed and ready, once again headed to the underground city.
