Chapter 101: Chapter 101

Perhaps it was the eerie silence, or maybe it was the way the shadows seemed to move on their own. Yuno shifted on his feet, an ominous feeling engulfing him. Seconds felt like hours as he wondered whether Mika and Austin were safe or if they had fallen prey to the rogues.

The last rays of the sun disappeared behind the horizon, his heart wrenching at their lost sight. He took solace in the fact that no rogues had emerged from the cave since Mika and Austin had entered, which must mean that they were fighting them off before the monsters could venture into the forest. At least, that's what he told himself to ease his anxiety.

He rolled his eyes at Elliot who returned the cave entrance for the fifth time. Mika was thorough and she had checked already, so he knew there was no other entrance.
