章 109: 107: Race to the center

'Will you risk it and come here or will you turn tail and run away. Choose wisely' That was not a voice but a feeling Maria was having. The one-sided conversation that resonated with Maria's heart was not taking place in the real world.

But the cave had started to break down a little and Maria could feel the magic leaking into the cracks forming on the seal around the cave. It was badly damaged and Maria was sure that this place would collapse.

"Darn it. Nao, Suna, can you hear me?" Maria tried calling her friends to inform them about the changes in the plan but her system was still down. It looked like Maria was alone in the cave.

'Are you going to come? Or are you not going to?' The voice was right inside Maria's head and it was loud enough to cause a headache to her.
