Chapter 60 Bone Ridge

Back then, it took hi about

"The spire from your vision? The one with seven seals?"

Cassie nodded

"Yes In my dream, it seemed to be as tall as a mountain I could even see it fro in the distance like a cri the skies When the sun sets, the Spire's vast shadow falls over the castle and stretches east, as far as you can see"

She was silent for aat the Crimson Spire was very similar to what you had described, onlyto remember the exact words Cassie had used to describe her vision Seven severed heads guarding seven seals… a dying angel being devoured by hungry shadows… feeling of extreme terror and loss…

What was the deal with that Spire, exactly?

"Is it crimson because it's made out of the same stuff as the labyrinth?"

ReadNovelFull them was not, in fact, coral It's just what they called it based on some resemblance, for the sake of sie material remained a mystery

Cassie hesitated

"Maybe it's the other way around Maybe the labyrinth is made from the same stuff as the Spire"

In other words, the Criht have been the source of all this madness Still, it was just a theory — there was too little information to confirm it

However, Sunny did feel that the Spire was, in one way or another, at the center of all things that they had encountered He just hoped that it wouldn't be their final destination

Knowing the reason behind his restlessness, Sunny was able to endure it much better He even found a hidden benefit to this situation — as long as he sensed the shadow of the Crimson Spire, he could pinpoint the direction to the human castle, since it was situated somewhere between their location and the source of the shadow

In a sense, the Crimson Spire had become his inner compass

"Get ready"

Neph's voice took Sunny out of his reverie Shaking off the distracting thoughts, he focused on the task at hand

They were getting close to the Bone Ridge

This name came to their minds as soon as they had first laid their eyes on this towering landmark It was visible froainst the crirey sky in all its ivory splendor

The Bone Ridge was, in fact, made of bone The skeletal remains of a colossal seacoral, with its arching spine protruding especially high above the ground It was i creature had looked like while it was still alive, but one thing was certain — it was gargantuan even by the standards of the dark sea

This wasn't the first giant skeleton they saw during their journey In fact, the labyrinth was littered with re natural arches and palaces throughout it They were easy to spot because the coral formations were especially tall and dense in their vicinity, as though trying to bury any sign of whiteness in the sea of cri that the situation was actually reversed To hi out of the old bones and spreading in every direction, slowly consu the world When he looked at the cri the colossal remains, he couldn't help but see them as rivers of ancient, solidified blood

He was alh into the black mud to find the roots of the cri but endless layers of bones

What a scary iht about the nature of the labyrinth, the beast whose ree Thanks to that, a portion of its long spine was tall enough to reht That's why they had chosen it as the next stop on their journey

With the evening approaching, the next task was crucial They had to scale the dead leviathan and make sure that no other creature had decided to take shelter in its re did, they had no choice but to try and kill it, since there was no time to retreat to their previous safe haven

The last step was often the riskiest

Coroupfor a convenient path up Eventually, they arrived in front of the creature's cracked,or buried under the mud, the upper for shi+vers running down his spine, Sunny passed beneath the terrifying palisade of teeth and entered the cave With his shadow leading the way, they made way to the back of the creature's skull and soon entered the hollow expanse of its spine

Inside the spine, the bone surface under their feet was as wide as a road Actually, it looked a lot like a highway running through a long tunnel, with stark beaaps between the massive vertebrae The tunnel was inclined upward,
