Everyone was silent as they stood in front of the Metallic Door. Even without speaking, everyone knew what the other was thinking.
The oppressive aura of whatever inside was leaking out, and thanks to that, all sorts of beasts and creatures stayed away from it.
"A-are you sure this is safe?" Seraphina asked, peering at Ryu under her long lashes.
"Whatever is inside couldn't go out from that door. So I think this is the safest spot," Ryu answered, ignoring everyone's doubt.
How did he even know? Ryu was not sure either. He just had to rely on his instincts.
Without arguing anymore, they laid Abby on a bedding while Seraphina took care of her. Marcus prepared their food while Halfjack watched the tunnel for any signs of beasts or approaching treat.
At the side, Ryu was studying the Metal Door. It wasn't sealed, nor was it lock and it seemed to open at any time, but whatever was inside couldn't do so.
