Reincarnated As The Hero Ring

"Before I enter, could you leave this open as I need to use this way to get out?" Vicar said that as he didn't want to jump from a cliff just to escape from the secret place. 

"I think I had built a proper way out of the place, you didn't discover it?" Sir Allen asks Vicar. 

Vicar shakes his head as he doesn't even know that there's another way to escape besides using the cliff. He then asks Sir Allen about the exit of the secret place. Sir Allen told Vicar that the exit should be in the library.

"Find the lever there and the exit would lead you to the slums area." Sir Allen said. 

Vicar was surprised to know that there was a lever there that could lead us directly to the slums, "How could we not notice the lever there?" Vicar said that to me. 

"Well, I could say that the library was kinda dark and it kinda makes us hard to see the lever at that time," I said that to Vicar. 

"But if you want I could keep this open?" Sir Allen asks whether Vicar wants this to be open. 

"Probably not as I already learn the exit of that place, besides leaving the entrance open might give the skeletons in there to escape," Vicar said. 

"I understand, I wish you good luck with what the thing that you must do there..." Sir Allen gave us some final word before we enter the tunnel. 

With the information of the exit, Vicar thanks Sir Allen and headed towards the tunnel once again. I just hope that we could find Tane here. On second thought, I wish that Tane didn't get teleported at this place as it would be horrible for him with those injuries. 

We wouldn't repeat the same mistake that we had done before which was bringing up a torch. Before we arrive at the dungeon area, Vicar did stopped and ask for some torches from the guards near the manor. They did lend some for us as Sir Allen order them to give us some. 

The entrance was closed by Sir Allen as we go further down the tunnel until we finally at the secret place. There weren't any skeletons in the area right now so we could look for Tane without needing to fight the skeletons at the same time as well. 

We search the area for some minutes but we realized that Tane wasn't here so we need to go in further to look for him. Vicar pulled out his sword as he knows that he gonna enter the area which there might be some skeletons there. 

This time around, Vicar did prepare everything that he needed before entering this place. He knows how dangerous this place would be if he doesn't have any weapon on him. The last time we were here, the best thing we could do was to run and not to fight the skeletons back. Right now that Vicar has a weapon, this place wouldn't be that dangerous but still, we need to be cautious. 

Vicar walks slowly as he didn't want to get the skeleton's attention, he tried to do this silently while searching for Tane and just fight when it was necessary. But it doesn���t go that way as the skeleton had discovered us when we were just about to take the right path. 

Vicar quickly took it down as he didn't want the skeleton to call out the other skeletons. Once again luck wasn't on our side as suddenly about fifty or more skeletons appear and seem to move around. We then realized that we finally surrounded by the skeletons right now. 

I then look at all the skeletons that were surrounding us right now and the skeletons were just basic skeletons. Knowing that I realize that we shouldn't be scared as I think Vicar could able to handle it perfectly fine. I then told Vicar about the skeleton type that Vicar would fight in a few seconds. 

"It looks like that we kinda lucky that we didn't encounter any elite, mage or lord here... If one of them was here it would be really bad especially the mage and lord type," Vicar said that. 

"So? why were you standing here, just defeat them already, and then we can continue the search,��� I said that to Vicar. 

Vicar then charges toward the skeletons that surrounded him and the fight has begun. All of the skeletons also begin to approach Vicar at the same time. Making Vicar hadn't enough space to move around but that doesn't even bother him at all as one by one the skeletons were defeated. 

In just a few minutes, Vicar successfully defeated all of the skeletons that were surrounding him before. With that finish, we could finally resume our search for Tane once again. 

Five hours have passed and we had checked all around the secret place but we didn't even found Tane here. The skeletons in the secret area have completely been defeated and making the secret place safe without any more skeletons. 

Clearing the skeletons here wasn't our main objective but still, it was a good thing to do as the skeletons here would never able to harm the people in the town anymore. 

"Where is Tane?" Vicar sits down in exhaustion as he said that. 

It's been tiring for Vicar as he needs to fight the skeletons in this place and even though it was weak the number of the skeletons here were quite many. 

"I wish I could answer your question as well Vicar but sadly I don't have the answer," I said that to Vicar. 

"I know but where could he be teleported too? We have already searched everywhere around the town and still not able to find him at all." Vicar clenches his fist and punches it's to the ground. He was clearly frustrate right now as he was not able to find Tane. 

"As I said, you're the one that knows where he teleported to. If you could remember and we will know where Tane was." I said that to him as that was the only thing we could do to help locate Tane right now. 

"You were right ring... It was me that teleported Tane into an unknown location. If only I do it right at that time, he would be at the infirmary." Vicar started to blame himself after hearing what I had said to him. 

"Vicar! I know you messed up the teleportation but you're panic at that time..." I said that to calm him down. 

"But because of that Tane might already be dead right now," Vicar said. 

"I don't think Tane is dead yet..." I said that to Vicar. 

"How? Tell me! How can you be sure..." Vicar shouted that to me as he really thinks that Tane has already dead by now. 

"Once you said to me that your power is belief right? If you believe that he still alive then he would be alive." I said Vicar's own saying on him as I think it would be able to make Vicar believe that Tane was still alive somewhere out there. 

Hearing that word, Vicar smile at me and said, "I'm glad that I'm with you ring... You're absolutely right about that ring, I should keep on believing that he still alive out there." 

With that, Vicar then stand up and headed to the library as he was about to exit this place already and continue his search once again. He was motivated once again to walk to the library really quickly. 

We soon arrive at the library and search for the lever that Sir Allen mention to us. It somehow took us more time as it was really hard for us to locate the lever. I realized that we both kinda dumb as not to ask where the lever was placed in this room when we had the chance and because of that we needed to waste some time looking for it. 

After a while, we finally found the lever as it was hidden behind a book on the shelves. At some point, I thought that one of the books here was the secret lever that could give us the exit we needed. Vicar then pulled the lever and we then hear a crack sound near us. 

We thought that the exit finally opens up but there aren't any exits. We waited for a few minutes as we think that it might take some time to open but still, nothing happens. 

"Vicar, how about pulling the lever once again?" I suggest him to try again. 

He agreed and pulled the lever once again but this time we didn't hear any sound at all. There isn't any exit open up and we both realized something. 

Vicar look at me and said, "Do you think the lever is broken?" He asks me that. 

"I do think that as well, this place does get build a long time ago and didn't get any maintenance..." I said that.
