The probing light cut through the pitch-black space, revealing a low tunnel into which everyone jumped.
The tunnel was quite low and so narrow that they had to stoop and advance slowly, one by one.
Gami piloted the mechanical walker in the lead. Its four tentacles extended forward, holding the lantern, its weapon muzzle already pointing straight ahead.
Alka walked in the middle, while Jason guarded the rear.
The three maintained this formation, cautiously passing through.
The tunnel, apparently unopened for years, held a thick, somewhat pungent odor.
Simple supports lined the tunnel walls. It wasn't very long, and they soon neared its end.
"We're almost at the end," Gami said, sensing a stone wall in the dimness ahead.
Hearing this, the two behind them became more vigilant.
They slowed their steps further.
"I feel it! It's a Soul Body!"
Lucilia's voice suddenly came through. Hearing her, Alka hastily grabbed the back of Gami's vehicle, bringing it to a halt.
