Chapter 294: The War that Decides the Fate of 'The Bridge' Part 97

"Let's wait before getting inside," Gilbert suggested as he turns to look at Kayn and Wesley.

Wesley stopped before looking behind him to see how's the entrance of the Dream Dungeon is doing and whether their plan is progressing well or not.

Contrary to the duo.

"No need," Kayn didn't hesitate to disregard Gilbert's idea as he pushed both Gilbert and Wesley inside the small path in between two boulders.

Although they are far away from the Dream Dungeon and could use the darkness of the night as cover to blend in and hide while awaiting for Chief Dennis' supposed bodyguards to get out from the burning and suffocating cave, there's this possibility that one of those people possess the capability or Gift to see them in the darkness.

He can't risk that.

"Then how can we know their identity," Gilbert wonders.

"I'll take care of that, just trust me," Kayn could only hope that they'll both believe him.

"This…"

Both Gilbert and Wesley don't understand how on Earth Kayn would be able to achieve that. Nevertheless, they still choose to believe him.

"Just get inside and wait," Kayn pushed Gilbert and Wesley inside the cave before stepping away from the entrance and looking in the direction of the Dream Dungeon.

As expected, because the entrance to the Dream Dungeon was blocked by countless pieces of debris, it prevented a majority of the smoke and light from the fire from escaping.

Although there was still some smoke pillaring the sky, it was thin enough that it could barely be seen in the darkness, and that is even despite the fact that he is already close to the Dream Dungeon. It also disperses before it could reach high enough.

As for the light coming from the burning cave, it could barely be seen even in the darkness due to the cover of some debris and rocks that he and Wesley had strategically set up in order to block the view from the north.

He believes that unless the Freedom Fang Brigade specifically observes the west and focuses on this certain location, they would never see the light.

Time quickly passed and there were still no signs of changes inside the Dream Dungeon.

"Were those people actually telling the truth or were their words perhaps just a lie?" Kayn started doubting Kardo and his men. "I shouldn't have let them go that easily,"

The reason why they immediately let Kardo and the rest of his men go was that he doesn't want them staying and possibly disrupting their plans in the future on how to deal with Chief Dennis' supposed bodyguards.

"I suppose this works too," Kayn mumbled to himself. He understood that their actions could likely indicate that the Dream Dungeon was empty, thus confirming their assumption about this dungeon leading to the entrance of the underwater cave system where the Kraken currently resides.

"That is as long as nothing burst forth from the Dream Dungeon,"

"How's the situation outside, Kayn?"

Gilbert's concerned voice sounded outside the cave where they are hiding.

"Still no changes," Kayn quietly responded.

"Are you sure? What if they were able to crawl out of the fire without you noticing," Wesley decided to make a joke out of Kayn's extreme cautiousness.

"That can also be a possibility. And suppose that happens, that means our time left to live is now ticking closer to its end," Kayn rebutted.

"Do you seriously believe their words?"

"I would have left you here and gone back to the Dream Dungeon if I didn't believe Kardo's and his men's words,"

"What if it was a lie though,"

"Then it simply means they had successfully fooled us,"

"That doesn't sound sweet at all," Wesley doesn't like the thought of them being fooled by a group of low-level soldiers.

"We all have our times," Gilbert could only sigh in regret.

"Are you telling me that each of us will eventually get a turn of being fooled?"

"Exactly, we're not immune to that,"

"Fair enough," Wesley acknowledges. "I guess that just makes Kardo and his men lucky,"

"Right…"

Boom!

Their conversation was suddenly disrupted as a loud sound of explosion erupted in the direction of the Dream Dungeon.

Numerous boulders and logs were launched into the air, causing the small area at the entrance of the Dream Dungeon to be showered with burning and dry leaves.

With no obstacles in its way, the smoke finally billowed upwards, reaching high into the sky without any hindrance.

Not long after, five figures jumped out of the thick smoke and landed not far away from where Kayn and the others were hiding.

"I guess they weren't lying," Kayn muttered after diving inside the cave.

"That was close," Wesley quickly helped Kayn stand up from the ground.

"How was it? Did you see their faces?" Wesley hurriedly asked in concern.

"Yes," Kayn pretended to have seen the faces of the five men. "It was dark, but I saw their faces quite well,"

"Do you need a pen and paper?" Gilbert took out the two items from his Storage Ring.

"I'll draw them later. For now, let's make sure that we won't get caught," Kayn approached the vines before waving his hand, immediately taking out a few logs that he wasn't able to use inside the Dream Dungeon because there was no more space to put them. He started piling them up in order to completely block the entrance.

Seeing Kayn's action, Gilbert and Wesley swiftly went forward to help.

"We have to hold it down, otherwise, it will all fall apart," Kayn reminded everyone.

"It would have been a lot nicer if we had brought Jude and Charles with us," Gilbert can't help muttering a remark.

Jude would have made it easier for them to block the entrance of the Dream Dungeon and make a hiding spot for them close enough to the dungeon so that they won't have trouble trying to see the identity of Chief Dennis' supposed bodyguards.

On the other hand, Charles could pretty much handle blocking the entrance of this cave all by himself.

"There's no use regretting now since we are already in this situation," Wesley shook his head.
