A Slightly Different Path

Some time in the past.

Azemo glanced over his shoulder, eyebrows lifting in surprise as he saw the dark wall closing up behind him.

He had not wanted to mess around in some maze and he had blasted the walls with (skill) Pure Flame, after he sensed the right direction. Searching for Spiren's mana signal was not difficult for Azemo and his heart began to race, his target was actually in the dungeon.

After watching the burnt wall slowly regenerate, Azemo looked around his surroundings, finding himself in a circular chamber.

Taking a break to regenerate some mana, Azemo opened the room bag to let Ima, Bella and Mr. Moon out of the bag. However, after a few seconds of waiting, Azemo stepped into the room and found it empty. There were no monsters relaxing on the bed and Azemo felt his heart pinch in worry.
