Outside of the dungeon
Half an hour has passed since Zam entered the dungeon, and the two were already on their edge, the captain and others took too long to arrive.
Shortly after, the two's faces lit up seeing a group of people in the distance, it was Arnoux's group. The two instantly go toward the group.
"Ohh, where is Zam?" upon arriving Arnoux immediately found one person missing.
"Captain, Zam go in alone... We tried to convince that idiot, but he won't listen at all." The two then explain what they experience.
"What!, a teleportation portal!" Everyone was surprised, but Arnoux was much more surprised.
He didn't even see a teleportation array much less a more advanced teleportation portal. Even in the Oland Kingdom where they were located, a teleportation array was super rare. There were only three cities in the Oland Kingdom that has a teleportation array, you can imagine how rare it is for a kingdom that has dozen of cities.
