After mutually confirming that they were all safe and sound, the four of them continued observing their surroundings.
This place was a wide corridor, dimly lit and with a high ceiling. Even a giant could walk freely through here. The flickering flames of faraway torches provided unsteady illumination and in their light the long shadows seemed to dance. Ahead of them was some kind of crosshatched portcullis, and from the square gaps in its surface, rays of white, magical light shone through. Behind them, the path stretched into darkness, and along the way, several doors opening into the corridor could be seen, lit up by torches.
With everyone remaining quiet, only the crackling of the torches could be heard.
It did not seem like they were in any danger of being attacked immediately. After they realized this, their tension eased.
“Although I don’t know where this place is, it has a completely different atmosphere to what we have seen up until now.”
The style of this place was completely different to the tomb they had just left. In fact, signs of civilisation could be seen here. The members of ‘Foresight’ surveyed their surroundings, and whilst they were trying to grasp where this place was, only Arche’s attitude was different from the rest.
“—This place is…”
Keenly perceiving the meaning behind the words, Hekkeran asked Arche:
“Do you know? Or perhaps you have a clue?”
“—I know of a similar place. The Empire’s Grand Arena.”
“Ah… indeed, you are right.”
Roberdyck grunted in agreement. Although Hekkeran and Imina did not say anything, they also shared Roberdyck’s opinion.
When ‘Foresight’ had made their debut at the arena, there was a place similar to this one when they were making their way from the waiting room to the arena.
“Then behind that should be the arena.”
Roberdyck pointed towards the latticed gate.
“That should be the case… then being teleported to this place means that… is that what it is?”
“Give me a fight to watch” was probably the intention here. Although, they had no idea who or what might be waiting for them.
