[Outskirts of Tekoa Town, Forest]

After completely destroying the bounded field, Asagi and the whole group then walked on cautiously, as everyone doesn't know what to expect once the have broken through the bounded field. With both Azrael and Jophiel at the front, the rest of the force then focused on guarding the other side of the formation, while the ranged users stayed in the middle.

Not long after, they then soon come into the clearing, with nothing but a wide circular land and a pile of rocks on the middle.

"Is this it? Seems anti-clamatic" commented by Hino

"What do you think?" Asked by Zaheer as he nudged Ester

"How am I supposed to know? This is the first time I've come to this place" answered by Ester

As everyone was pending on what to find in this wide open area, Ban and Sato then heard Asmaveth stating something in his weak voice.

"That's... the entrance.... I don't want to go there"

Upon hearing that, Ban quickly raised her voice as she said.

"Everyone! Asmaveth said that the pile of rocks is the entrance"

"Entrance? Those piles of rock?" Asked by Asagi

"Yes! I heard it too" assured by hero Sato

In tha moment, Jophiel them landed unto the ground, after checking something in the air, the mental he heard Ban's exclaimed point.

"They're right! Those rocks, aren't actually pile of rocks, but rather a formation of rocks that surrounds the entrance of a cave to somewhere"

"Formation? A formation so pinpoint to hide the entrance?" Asked by Azrael

"Conveniently yes, whoever made that formation deliberately, is a genius, using an optical illusion to hide something... a complete hide within plains sight"

Not long after, all of them gathered around the entrance, as ea h of them tested multiple stuff to determine the inside figure of the cave. Apparently the cave itself only goes downward in a slope, plus there were no lighting, so meaning the cave itself pitch-black.

"I don't want to go in there" said by Asmaveth

"Well sad to say, your also coming with us" said by Takahashi

"Were almost at the truth of this incident, don't back away now" encouraged by Hino

However despite what they had already said, Asmaveth doesn't seem to be able to control his fear, as he shook uncontrollably, while slightly moving away.

Fear is an intensely unpleasant primal emotion in response to perceiving or recognizing a danger or threat. Fear causes psychological changes that may produce behavioral reactions such as mounting an aggressive response or fleeing the threat. Fear in human beings may occur in response to a certain stimulus occurring in the present, or in anticipation or expectation of a future threat perceived as a risk to oneself.

The fear response arises from the perception of danger leading to confrontation with or escape from/avoiding the threat (also known as the fight-or-flight response), which in extreme cases of fear (horror and terror) can be a freeze response.

In humans and other animals, fear is modulated by the process of cognition and learning. Thus, fear is judged as rational and appropriate, or irrational and inappropriate (or unconscious). An irrational fear is called a phobia.

Fear is closely related to the emotion anxiety, which occurs as the result of often future threats that are perceived to be uncontrollable or unavoidable.[1] The fear response serves survival by engendering appropriate behavioral responses, so it has been preserved throughout evolution.[2] Sociological and organizational research also suggests that individuals' fears are not solely dependent on their nature but are also shaped by their social relations and culture, which guide their understanding of when and how much fear to feel.
