....

After reading the message on the panel in front of me, I turned to look at Emma, who had also turned to look at me.

Emma spoke first, as we locked gazes.

"It was really hidden," she stated.

When I heard this, I nodded because it was exactly what she said.

We would not have noticed this location if it hadn't been for Anna.

It was truly hidden seeing as our senses couldn't detect anything wrong with the surroundings.

That shows how well-hidden it was.

And, now that I think about it, those flaws outside that I assumed were left by someone were not flaws in the first place, but might rather be something done by the primordial chronicle for anyone who happened upon traces of the dungeon.

It was meant to stay hidden, but not forever.

Of course, all of this is based on assumptions, and nothing has been proven.

As I considered these things, I focused my attention on my surroundings.

We appear to be in a small room, and the walls appear to be made of rocks, but instead of looking rough, they appear to be done properly, as there is no obvious rough edge.

There was a bronze door in front of us, and the steps we used to get here were behind us. When I realized we were in a dungeon, I half expected the stairs to vanish and the dungeon to be like the one I entered before, where we could only leave when it was cleared, but things appear to be different from what I imagined, or it could be said we haven't entered the dungeon yet, and the primordial chronicle was just informing us we had arrived at a dungeon.

As I considered this, I turned to gaze at the bronze door in front of me, which was emitting mana a few meters away from where I was.

Perhaps it is similar to the gateway and dungeon I previously entered, and here is the entrance.

No, this is the entrance, and I only need to enter it to begin the dungeon, but unlike the last dungeon, which displayed the difficulty of the dungeon before we entered it, this one was like a black box, as we may encounter anything inside.

As I considered this, I looked to Emma to see what she would like to do.

Thinking of this, I moved my gaze to Emma, who turned to look at me as she noticed it and asked what it was as I replied and gave her my thoughts.

When she heard this, she just responded with a single question.

"Are you intending on not entering?" she inquired.

"Was never my idea in the first place," I said, returning my attention to the bronze door in front of me when Emma responded.

She asking me that question meant that, while she understood what I indicated, she still wanted to enter, which matched my thoughts, so everything was fine.

'Guess like me, she is also a curious creature', I thought as I started to make my way to the door when Emma called out my name and spoke.

"Shouldn't we go call Anna and Chris and invite them to come with us?" she questioned.

"There's no need. It's better they're outside since if we tell them to come in, they'll insist on bringing Mia, which is a hidden danger in and of itself because it might produce a slew of problems ", I replied as I made my way forward to the bronze door.

Emma remained silent after hearing my response, holding her staff to her chest level as her body began to emit mana.

Seeing as Emma prepared for whatever lay beyond the door, I began to prepare myself by circulating the mana in my body as I made my approach slowly to the door.

As I reflected on this, I arrived at the bronze door and was about to open it when I came to a halt, turned to face Emma beside me, and held my left hand out.

"Hold me so we don't get separated," I said, and Emma immediately understood, holding my hand with her free hand.

We don't know if we'll get separated from each other if there is no physical contact between us, thus this stops us from getting separated if this dungeon is like the others.

As this thought flashed through my head, I held the doorknob, which felt cold to the touch, and opened it; as soon as I did, my vision went black.

...…..

[Third Person POV],

While Anna and Chris remained outside the hill, keeping an eye on the surroundings, Chris addressed Anna.

"Sister Anna, they've been down there for a few minutes now, no?" Chris remarked, turning to Anna.

When Anna heard this, she responded without looking at him, instead focusing on the crows soaring in the sky.

"Don't worry, they will be OK", she stated as she paused before adding; "Or you can just contact one of them if you're worried", she said.

Chris, who heard this, was about to respond with a nod when he halted and spoke again.

"But I don't even know what their names are," he said as Anna responded.

"Really? That reminds me, Chris, what is your full name? I won't be able to contact you if I don't-" Anna was speaking when she abruptly stopped to stare in a specific direction and spoke again.

"Get ready, Chris, something's coming," she said as her wings rose from behind her.

"What's coming-" Chris was going to question when he noticed a figure approaching from a distance.

"You know what? Never mind I said that", he muttered, gripping the blade tightly in his hands.

'We really do get no rest'
