It was a bit of a tight fit, but I was able to enter the cave in the end.
After entering the cave, I found myself in a secret underground beach.
This cave was still connected to the lake since the rocks were just on the side of the lake, but there was also a sand path that was beside the lake that seed to be leading underground.
It seed that there was so kind of hidden cave that was under the water.
I didn’t really understand how the cave wasn’t flooded with how it led deep into the ground, but it seed that there was sothing there that was keeping the water from reaching the sand path.
This wasn’t a place that I was familiar with, which made a bit doubtful that this was the right place.
I only knew that the dungeon would appear sowhere near this area because that was how it had happened in the ga, but I had no idea if this cave would actually lead to the dungeon that Undine was in.
So I asked Ifrit, "Ask them what is deeper in."
After a mont of silence, Ifrit said, "They don’t know. They aren’t allowed to go deeper than a certain point since they’re just low grade spirits."
I gave a sigh hearing this before saying, "Then what do they know about the places that they were allowed to go? Get them to give us an idea of what this place is so we know where to go from here."
After another mont of silence, Ifrit said, "They say that as long as you keep going forward, you’ll be able to reach the place that you’re looking for. After that, they won’t be able to follow us any deeper since they just aren’t allowed any deeper."
I shook my head with a bitter smile before saying, "Alright, then let’s see what is there."
But I didn’t rush as I headed deeper and instead slowly made my way forward.
There was no telling what was here, so there was no telling what would happen if I kept going.
I could only move without hesitation when it ca to Ifrit’s dungeon since I knew exactly what was waiting for . It wasn’t the sa here since I had no idea what was waiting inside of this cave.
After a while, I arrived at what seed to be an entrance of so sort, but it was one that I was familiar with.
Seeing this, I couldn’t help revealing a smile.
"What are you so happy about?" Ifrit asked in my mind after I suddenly revealed a smile like this.
I didn’t answer him as I looked at the door.
After a mont of silence, I walked over to the side of the door and looked around as if I was looking for sothing in particular. It was only after a while of looking around like this that a smile appeared on my lips.
I reached down and pulled out the thing that had been hiding behind the rock that I had been looking at.
When I lifted up this necklace in front of , I couldn’t stop my smile from becoming even wider.
"What is this thing?" Ifrit asked in my mind while I was looking at it.
This ti, I answered, "It’s going to be sothing useful later on."
I could hear more questions that were coming from him, but I didn’t say anything else as I put this necklace away and moved towards the door.
This was a door that seed like it was firmly locked and it didn’t seem like it would be opening that easily.
But I didn’t panic as I looked at the pattern that was on the door.
There was this strange pattern that was engraved on this door, one that didn’t seem to make any sense.
However, I just looked at it for a bit before suddenly reaching out towards this pattern.
Without hesitation, I tapped a few spots on the door that was also where the pattern on the door was.
After I finished tapping these spots, there was a sound that ca from the door.
"Click! Thud!"
After this sound, the door started to open all on its own.
"How did you do that?" Ifrit asked in a surprised voice in my mind.
I just ignored him as I continued forward past this door.
When I stepped through it, another smile appeared on my face when I saw what was behind the door.
Others might have been surprised to see this, but I looked at this place as if I had been here before.
That was because in another world, I had indeed been here before.
Spread out in front of was a magnificent palace that had been hidden under the ground.
The problem was that this place was completely filled with water and it was a palace that was subrged under the water. This one spot by the door was the only place that hadn’t been subrged under the water.
I didn’t hesitate as I took out sothing that I suddenly brought to my mouth. After putting that thing in my mouth, I swallowed without any hesitation and then dived into the water.
Once I was in the water, I just breathed like I was on land.
The thing that I had just swallowed was a special item that I had gotten from the sea witches that would allow to breathe under the water.
Since I already knew that this was a place that was related to Undine, the Water Spirit King, then I knew that this was a place that would be completely subrged in water.
If I knew this, then it would be a waste not to bring sothing that would allow to breathe under the water.
After diving into the water, I headed right for the palace that was in front of .
But instead of going for the main gate, I was heading towards one of the towers of this palace.
