Walking through the market, the duo made their way towards a secluded alley and entered a small tavern that seemed to be giving off a shady vibe.
Once inside the tavern, a frown appeared on Allen's face as he noticed that the entire tavern was empty and devoid of life.
"That's… odd. This is supposed to be the secret entrance to the underground meeting hall… but there's no one here? That's weird..."
Bela was just as confused as Allen as she muttered to herself,
"I don't sense any lifeforce in the underground area either… could it be that we arrived before everyone else and the others have yet to reach this place?"
"But that doesn't make any sense; at least the regular staff members should have been here all the time…"
Just when Allen and Bela were feeling confused, powerful spatial fluctuations appeared all around them.
"What!?"
