Vale took out what seemed to be a compass.
After opening it, it spun wildly before settling on a particular direction.
Narrowing her eyes suspiciously, Vale pointed in that direction.
"That's where Sophie is. Remember to stay cautious, everyone," she said calmly, glancing at everyone, her eyes filled with wariness.
The two girls nodded. Meanwhile, a sword appeared in my grasp as I scanned the surroundings.
Strangely enough, once again, I didn't feel the discomfort from the cursed energy that Vale spoke of.
Attributing this to my cursed nebula physique, which could adapt to any cursed energy, I decided not to inform Vale of this unique development.
With that, we began walking at an even pace, following the direction of the compass.
Naturally, there was no need to rush, as that could easily lead to the loss of one's life. As such, we walked as calmly as possible…
Still, no matter how calmly we walked, it couldn't offset the dangers inside the cursed gate.
