Chapter 50-60

Chapter 50
In the pitch-blackness of the third level, Rydel and the party were currently sitting and resting. They were still tied together, apart from the unconscious Jack on Rydel’s back.

“We’ll rest here, this should be far enough,” said Rydel, coming to a stop. He sat down and laid Jack on the cave floor.

“But what if they find us?” asked Brunar. If anyone could see Brunar’s face at that moment, they would notice the first real hint of fear in his eyes as his right shoulder was being healed by Slivia.

“If they find us now, then chalk it up to bad luck. Just sit and rest. We need Jack awake to move further with the plan. Besides, there are some things we need to discuss,” answered Rydel.

Maynard was the next to sit and speak, “The goblins are far stronger than we had anticipated. Those two goblin captains were both at lv. 30 and I have no clue why. Imagine how strong the goblin king might be.”

Everyone started to better understand how far off their expectations were from reality. The goblins would be more troublesome, plus they failed to sneak into the third level and were easily discovered. Now the goblins know that there’s a threat to them and would be able to prepare or track them if necessary. Their original plans might still be possible, but the odds of success had plummeted.

“I knew this was too good to be true,” whispered Slivia, letting the darkness hide the tear rolling down her cheek.
