CHAPTER 239
"Right there. I can see light!" Van shouted, a surge of urgent joy vibrating in his voice as he pointed straight ahead.
Quickly, the group's pace increased.
They rushed forward without a second's hesitation, walking directly into the brilliant radiance which consumed them one by one.

"Huh?" Van muttered as his head finally peeked out.
The scorching sun slammed into him with full force, causing his skin to tingle and his vision to blur for a moment; he had entirely forgotten how intense the daylight could be.
He raised a hand to shield his brow as he surveyed their surroundings.
His upper body was currently peeking out of a... a hole?
"Hey! What's the holdup? Move it!" Felix shouted from the depths below.
This jolted Van back to his senses.
He gripped the edges of the hollowed earth and pulled himself out with a grunt of exertion.
He rolled away just in time to see Kai pulling himself up and over the ledge.
