"Back to the Dungeon," Ethan declared, his tone brooking no argument.
Mia and the others, sensing the gravity of the situation, didn't press for answers.
They followed Ethan out of the black market, and once they found a secluded corner, Ethan swiftly activated a space gate.
Together, they stepped through, finding themselves back inside the Dungeon.
Only once they were safe within the Dungeon did Mia voice her curiosity. "Ethan, what did you discover?"
Ethan lifted the Dragon sculpture, "There's a distinct power hidden within this sculpture."
"What kind of power?" Mia examined the Dragon closely but couldn't discern anything unusual.
"Mia, can't you sense it?" Ethan questioned.
He then proceeded to extract the latent energy from the sculpture, pooling it into his palm where it manifested as a smoky essence.
Mia, finally registering it, nodded, "It is... peculiar."
