Daniel stepped into the tunnel alongside him. The man lifted his palm and summoned a small flame that burst to life, casting flickering light across the dark passage.
"Umm… I know nothing about you mister mysterious," he said with a neutral expression.
"Hmm… Okay," the man replied without hesitation.
The tunnel was cold, with no light source other than the flame burning in the man's palm. A few minutes later, the man froze in his tracks.
Ahead, the tunnel split into two paths, one leading left and the other right.
"Young man, from here go straight left and you'll reach Arcana town," he said, his voice steady.
Daniel glanced toward the left tunnel. "But it's so dark."
"I know."
*Fwoosh*
With a horizontal sweep of his hand, the man summoned a fire spirit from thin air.
"Follow this spirit and it will lead you to exit," the man said. "But if you took a step back even by accident, it will explode on you. So be careful."
