Chapter 129 - 129 - Labyrinth of the Nurturer [1]

(Adelle's POV)

It's been about a minute since me, Raven, Alec, Aoi, Curtis, Eve, and Blake entered the [Labyrinth Of The Nurturer].

During that short span of time, we've been descending an endlessly long staircase that feels like it has no intention of ending. The air is cold, the stone walls are damp, and every step echoes faintly, bouncing back to us like whispers.

Our pace is steady, neither rushed nor lazy.

We're moving at a careful rhythm, the kind of speed that keeps us alert but not reckless. Everyone is watchful, cautious of what might appear in this dungeon.

Especially me and Aoi. Both of us carry the responsibility of making sure no traps or enemies catch us off guard.

My skill, , doesn't cover an enormous area— it isn't the type of ability that can map out the whole dungeon. Instead, it reacts to danger only when it's relatively close. That's why positioning matters for me.
