After Orion had entered the mouth of the cave, two more people followed. Reyes and the others had expected loud, bestial roars from the Elemental Beast or the cries of humans, but it was eerily quiet. So quiet that Reyes began to doubt if there was actually a beast inside, or if this was all a ploy by the Lich Court.
Reyes squinted his eyes, hoping to catch a glimpse of what was happening at the entrance of the cavern, but he failed to notice anything unusual. He then turned toward Captain Bofan and said respectfully, "Captain, can you check the outer perimeter of the cave and report back to me?"
The reason he specifically asked Captain Bofan was because the latter had the ability to fly and could escape if the Elemental Beast ever appeared.
Captain Bofan understood this and gave a simple nod. He slowly ascended into the air, flying in the direction of the frozen cavern where the pressure was at its peak. His expression was cold as he ignored the pleading of the people below.
