章 252: On the sidelines

Kouske stared at the huge cave in silent contemplation. Normally, he liked to explore a place, understand the lore behind it and examine each tiny thing in detail.

But now was not the time for it. He shook his head and forced himself to scan through everything in this cave hurriedly.

Except for the greenish black moss that covered the walls and the numerous skeletons chained to the same, nothing else of value seemed to be there.

No matter how much he looked, this was all that he could find.

"Okay. I should go to the next one." He wiped the sweat off of his forehead, and then letting out a long sigh, he opened the huge iron door again.

This time he was truly pushing his luck. From this side of the door, he couldn't exactly see where Liam's concentration lay. He also couldn't hear anything.

The best he could do was push open the door slightly, creating a small slit of space through which he could peer outside and see what was happening.
