Ethan had actually already used his senses to investigate.
The cave didn't reveal any hostility, so for now, it was safe.
But caution was paramount.
He didn't let Anya follow him inside.
Holding the magical staff, Ethan slowly jumped into the cave.
The cave was quite dark, but the light from the magical staff spread out, and instantly, the darkness was dispelled.
The only one uncomfortable was Kaster, who was tied to the magical staff.
"Could you dim it a little? It hurts too much."
He wailed in plea.
But Ethan ignored him, continuing to carefully observe the cave's interior.
There was nothing there, except for what appeared to be a dug-up tomb.
"Where's the altar?" "At the back, at the back, there's a mechanism!"
Kaster shouted loudly.
Ethan finally dimmed the light from the staff slightly.
