The sound of their footsteps are echoing in the hallways of the underground dungeon. Along with those sounds, the chains that are connected to Sinbad's wrist are chinking as they walk towards the cell he's about to be locked up in.
Diretso lamang ang kaniyang tingin sa medyo madilim na pasilyo. Hindi niya gaanong napapansin ang kaniyang paligid dahil sa lalim ng kaniyang pag-iisip. Hindi mawala sa kaniyang isip ang kaisipan na maaari ngang may alam ang dalaga sa nais gawin ng diyosa. May alam ito na isang bagay ngunit hindi nito sinasabi. Tila ba naghihintay pa ito na mabuo ang lahat.
He clenched his hands. Hindi ba mas mainam na sabihin nito ang kaniyang nalalaman upang may kaalaman rin sila kahit papaano sa sitwasyon?
"All we have to do is go through that cave? That's it?" Bonzo said with a slight grimace on his face, not convinced on what Asta just said.
Asta nodded, "It's a cave where exceliums and magic circles can't occur because of the presence of Yules. Nadiskubre 'yan ni Sir Arnock isang dekada na ang nakaraan."
Patuloy naman nilang naririnig ang paghampas ng alon sa mga bato na nasa kanilang likuran. Umuulan na rin at mukhang ito'y magiging isang bagyo pa.
Ero spoke, "So that's why it's not affected by the barrier.." tumango naman si Asta rito.
Asta grinned and scratched the back of her head, "The only problem is.."
"It's underwater." sabay-sabay na saad ng mga ito sa dapat niyang sasabihin. They sighed because of that problem. Ngunit kalaunan ay wala na silang nagawa kundi ang lumapit sa dagat.
"Be careful. The waves are strong enough to push your body to a rock and give you some major injuries." paalala naman ni Ero habang iniinat nito ang kaniyang braso.
Bonzo chuckled and rotated his shoulder, "You hear that Shane?"
"Oo narinig ko!" Shane retorted and frowned. Muli siyang tumingin sa mga alon na malakas ang paghampas sa mga bato. He sighed and shook the bad thoughts away.
Ero was about to speak ngunit bago pa siya makapagsalita ay sumisid na si Zai sa tubig. He sighed and just followed behind her. Gano'n na rin ang ginawa ng iba. Pagkalubog sa tubig ay nakita naman na nila ang dalaga na lumalangoy na patungo sa kweba na naroon. She's swimming like she's not carrying a heavy sword and wearing some clothes that are drenched in water.
