Eventually, at the center of the relic they saw a large opening for a cave. Just outside of it were 5 of the second-years that had entered, including Alexei and Jin.
"Why are you guys waiting outside of the cave instead of going in?" Kain asked.
"We suspect that the core of the relic is inside of this cave, but NJ," Jin said while pointing to a plain-looking freckled boy with sandy brown hair, "has a gift that allows him to sense danger and strongly suggested waiting for more people to arrive. Aside from you two, only 3 others have yet to arrive."
Kain nodded in understanding. Even if they have enchanted items that help to resist infections, there is no guarantee that the only source of danger would be getting sick. Kain had already seen how dead bodies were being controlled by an unknown creature. Even his own contract is capable of controlling other spiritual creatures to cause physical and elemental damage.
