Group two!
The group two had already advanced through the tunnel.
The entrance they had passed through—Veilshroud Gate—had long disappeared from view behind a bend in the cliff wall.
The only thing ahead now was the unknown.
Forty-five students, most of them still inexperienced even though they were ranked, walked forward under the watchful eye of Professor Yulia.
Her sharp violet eyes scanned the path ahead, but she let the students take initiative—this was their trial, not hers.
Kael Ashford walked near the middle of the group, his sword was strapped to his back, eyes calmly reading the terrain.
His face couldn't tell what he was thinking, but inside, he was fully alert.
Every turn, crack, and creepy silence in the dungeon reminded him exactly of what he had read in the novel before."
He had a personal mission—find the location of the Ancient Coin, a key item mentioned only briefly in the novel's world lore.
