Chapter 16: The Second Month in Hell (Part 3)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After half a day of nearly non-stop running and one shortstop for eating, we reached a hole with steps leading into the darkness underground and it seems they have entered the underworld of this place.

I mean they cannot just vanish into thin air randomly so the only possibility is that they have taken these steps downwards.

'Why are they going there? What is there to find? No other choice I have to follow them, maybe they've used some kind of spell that I am unaware of to find something that is leading them down there.': In just a short moment I had made up my mind.

"Wait! You don't intend to go down there do you?": Scaredy-Cat cried out when he saw me standing in front of the hole and contemplating for some time.

"No other choice. I have to find those people and save them and they've gone down there.": I said.

"How can you be so sure of that? Maybe they have just stood in this place for some time and went into a different direction."

"Let us just say that I have my own set of special abilities just like you do when you have your little wand."

In fact, what I used to track them down was my skill [Third Eye of Chronos]. I went to our starting point and tracked them by literally rewinding time and watching them move.

But as I had to always return back to the base and take care of Ignotus I could only slowly find their destination, the other reasons besides Ignotus were not knowing the possible dangers, being unprepared, and finally not being aware of what this world might throw our way.

I cannot use magic like my brother's and as such this world is much more dangerous to me than to them.

In my agenda the first point is that I have to guarantee my personal safety, the second is that I have to win against my brothers and the third is making sure they don't die on me.

So I let them play n the underground for some time so that I can see what they've encountered and how they dealt with these problems and then we will use the same or a better method to follow them.

In this way, we won't raise any suspicions and we will be outside of their radar and we will be ready to attack when they least expect it.
