The two headed deeper into the staircase.
Luca remained cautious, his eyes constantly scanning the darkness ahead. Michael, on the other hand, stayed close behind him, his body tense as he nervously glanced into the darkness.
"Are you sure we should be heading deeper?" he couldn't help but ask.
Luca scoffed. "Quiet."
This crazy bastard! Michael could only curse in his heart and reluctantly follow.
The deeper they went, the colder the air became. The cold felt unnatural.
Luca stopped several times along the way. Each time, he carefully examined the stairs before discovering another hidden trap. Some were concealed beneath the stone steps, while others were triggered by pressure plates or hidden mechanisms in the walls.
Fortunately, Luca noticed them before they could be activated. He carefully disabled each trap before continuing. After what felt like a long descent, the staircase finally came to an end.
The two stepped into a small empty chamber.
