That girl...

Noan fumbled for a long while before finally accepting that he was the only one who had entered the Crypt.

He sighed deeply, feeling fortunate that the Abyss Cube was still by his side. Without it, he truly had no idea how he would be able to fight.

Noan walked along the stone path, moving forward. Every step he took was accompanied by a glowing spot emitting a blood-red light, illuminating a short distance ahead.

He didn't know how long he had been walking, but he had the strange sensation of still standing in the same place.

Turning back, he saw only darkness, devoid of anything else.

Each time he passed one of the blood-red glowing spots, it would vanish immediately, giving him the illusion that he hadn't made any progress.

Noan frowned and raised his hand. The Abyss Cube instantly transformed into a torch, its flame fueled by his magical energy.

The torch burned, but strangely, its light could not illuminate the surroundings.
