After sorting themselves out, Jake and Aria finally began moving through the dimly lit tunnel.
The tunnel was narrow and strangely quiet.
Their footsteps echoed against the stone walls, occasionally mixing with the distant sound of water dripping from the ceiling.
Jake didn't keep the sword of light active, since he wanted to conserve his energy.
Instead, they relied on the faint light coming from deeper within the tunnel to see their surroundings.
However, Aria kept glancing at Jake's short sword.
And her appearance had changed slightly from earlier.
Since his shirt was no longer in a state she could properly wear, she had tied it around herself to keep her large chest covered, leaving her toned abdomen exposed.
Combined with the sword firmly held in her hand and her calm, focused expression, she no longer looked like an ordinary maid.
She looked like a female warrior who had just stepped out of a battlefield.
