Chapter 159: Merman and Fairies
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?"
The question lingered in his mind, but for now, it remained unanswered.
His attention then shifted.
"Well... the only way to find out is to see what is on the other side."
One by one, the mermen dove into the glowing pond, each dragging a human behind them. Adam stepped forward, blending in with the group. When his turn came, he dove in as well.
