E-rank Dungeon,
The echo of hurried footsteps filled the corridor as Lia led the group through the twisting dungeon passages—Lirael, Selene, Jax, and Torren following right behind. Aurelian, Maera, and the remaining students had stayed behind to guard the area, but Lia couldn't stop. She wouldn't stop.
"We have to find him quickly!" she said, voice trembling but resolute.
Torren, panting but keeping pace, called out, "Why don't you use your ring?"
"What?" Lia turned sharply, her voice caught between disbelief and irritation. "What nonsense are you spitting now?!"
Torren frowned. "You really don't know? A Life Stone doesn't just tell if the other partner's alive—it can also show their distance! Their location!"
Lirael's eyes widened. "He's right!"
Torren nodded firmly. "Just pour your mana into the ring. You'll feel where he is—how far he's drifted!"
