Alice raised a brow and approached Zaria, then glanced in the direction her finger was pointing.
And immediately, her eyes widened.
There was a path carved out in the jungle, and while she didn't feel anything off, she knew it wasn't monster-made.
After all, there were dozens of slashes on the jungle trees, and she knew for a fact no monster could carve out something so precise.
Alice turned to Lar skeptically. "Did you send a scout ahead?"
But he merely shook his head. "We're the only ones here. I made sure to contact the ones managing this dungeon—the last time a person was in here was six months ago."
"Right... then should we go out and call for backup?" Alice said. "I'm a bit too young to be suicidal, so I'll head out now."
With that, Alice turned around and headed toward the portal, which was...
"...Where's the portal?"
"Fuck..." Zaria muttered, taking in the surroundings. "It was there when we entered. When did it disappear?"
