Chương 255: The Lost Lords of Skardia (Part 3)

The group walked the tunnel for hours. It led in a straight line until they were far beyond the village limits. Eventually, a speck of light appeared in the distance. 'Seems like we've found the exit.' Bjorn thought while gripping his weapon.

"Skalr, extinguish the runestones. If there's anyone waiting out there, I don't want to warn them of our arrival." Ania said while glancing sideways. 

Skalr nodded, and the light around the group dimmed to nothing. The group shuffled along silently, listening for anything out of the ordinary. As they came closer to the exit, all they could hear were the normal sounds of a forest in winter.

"Wait here," Bjorn whispered as he moved forward slowly.

Ania chewed her lip at the thought of letting Bjorn go on alone. However, she knew he was the most likely to survive a trap or ambush due to his blessing from Exile. The tension rose in the tunnel as Bjorn disappeared for several minutes.
