Chapter 340 - 115 Dark
Minutes before the real passage’s gateway opened, another mirror passage held a student squad trying to return, who had already sensed that something was amiss.
It was precisely the squad consisting of the female Knight Alisa, the Child of Destiny Roche, Matt, and others.
Unlike the combination of Claire and Anvis, they did not encounter the altered murals, but they were likewise unable to pass through the time-space turbulence at the end of the corridor.
After trying various methods without success, they could only choose to return the way they came, but even after half a day’s journey, the stone gate exit from earlier was still nowhere in sight.
At this time, their location had left the area adorned with murals and entered the narrow rock corridors they had traversed on the way there.
Judging from the time spent walking, they had almost traveled twice the distance of the outward journey, yet the corridor ahead remained shrouded in darkness, with the anticipated exit still absent.
The only thing illuminated by the cold white halo of the Magic Lantern was more darkness.
The monotonous sound of everyone’s footsteps echoed in the cramped corridor, gradually swallowed by the darkness. No one spoke; a faint oppressive atmosphere quietly spread amongst the squad.
"Captain Mondolo, everyone, have you noticed that the length of this corridor seems different?"
Once he noticed this, Roche decisively broke the silence and addressed the air of discomfort within the squad.
"What have you found, Roche?"
As he spoke, everyone in the squad immediately stopped. To the left and front, a tall and burly student with brown hair and red eyes, clad in Magic Light Armor and holding a long Magic Wand, looked over.
