Chapter 341 - 116: An Unexpected End
Seeing the light of the exit, those who were frantically escaping resembled drowning people clutching desperately at a lifeline, their eyes suddenly filled with intense hope, and their speed of escape unwittingly quickened.
Soon, before the darkness behind them could catch up, all the students who could still run had burst out of the corridor.
Luckily, the darkness in the corridor behind them did not surge out, but instead, after engulfing the entire corridor, it stopped advancing.
It was as if an invisible wall had blocked it, leaving a blurred circular dark patch on the stone wall behind them.
"Is everyone alright?"
Having just steadied their nerves from the calming darkness behind, Alisa let out a breath of relief and began to check on the condition of her teammates.
"We’re okay... Just a bit drained of magic power."
Mondolo, Roche, Matt, and the others responded one after another, but the squad’s numbers had decreased by three from their arrival, now down to just six.
After observing for a while and confirming they were truly out of danger, everyone finally had the leisure to survey their surroundings.
They were currently in a vast underground hall, unlike the artificially carved marks on the surface of the ruins, this place more closely resembled a natural, colossal cavern.
The surroundings were unbelievably quiet, with the air carrying a strange smell akin to moist soil. The cavern’s ceiling emitted a faint bluish glow, seemingly from a kind of unusual luminescent moss.
The door behind them, contrary to what everyone had imagined, was not set into a wall on one side of the hall, but rather opened onto the surface of an incredibly large, dark stone pillar.
