Chapter 129: Training in the Cyclops’ Lair
---
The mid-level dimension gate shimmered as Dabi, Zen, Kiba, and Jeni stepped through its translucent barrier, entering a vast cavern.
The air was thick and humid, with an earthy, damp smell that hinted at lurking danger.
Dim torches lined the stone walls, casting long, flickering shadows, and the echo of their footsteps quickly faded into silence.
Dabi moved ahead, alert, leading the group. He glanced back at Jeni and Kiba, sizing them up. "This gate isn't just about defeating enemies.
It's about teaching you two to rely on your instincts, to read your opponents, and to act swiftly."
Jeni smirked, tossing her hair as she walked beside him. "Don't worry, Dabi. I've got this." She shot Zen a teasing look. "I mean, it's not like Zen ever taught me anything useful."
Zen rolled his eyes. "Maybe if you'd actually listened, Jeni, you would've learned a thing or two."
