Splash—
In the silent underground space, a beam of white light suddenly pierced the dark, oppressive air, accompanied by the sound of water colliding.
In a location near the center of the island's underground.
Ronald and Hailbeth emerged one after the other from the underwater channel and stood within a deep underground space of the island. From encountering the hunters to finding a waterway to enter this place, their subsequent journey had actually been smooth sailing.
Not to mention dangerous creatures like the hunters.
They hadn't even encountered a single thing with hostility.
Now standing in a pitch-black underground cave, Ronald's calves were still submerged in water, but his upper body had finally escaped the scent of the ocean.
With the help of the flashlight held by the mermaid beside him.
Ronald's gaze swiftly swept around the area.
—Something was odd.
