Chapter 76 The Abyss

Beyond the western edge of the Ashen Barrow, the landscape of the Forgotten Shore was not at all like what Sunny had expected — and hoped — to see

On this side of the island, the slope was much steeper At the spot where it was supposed to end, the faht of the flat wasteland was nowhere to be seen Instead, the ground continued to slope doard at a less drastic, but still considerably sharp angle

It continued far into the distance In fact, the whole island appeared to be standing on the edge of a colossal depression in the earth, one that stretched as far as the eye could see With its edges slightly curved, it reseinable impact

From what Sunny was able to observe, the crater's diameter could only be calculated in hundreds of kiloiant tree, which could be seen protruding frorass in comparison to the sheer size of the abyssal chasm's wall

It was like the whole world was tilted on its side,Sunny's head spin

In short, there were no h natural features to the west of theo doith no hope of finding shelter fro torrents of the dark sea

Which meant that there was no way forward at all Their journey to the west had coateway to the real world was lost

Sunny stared at the desolate landscape, feeling rage and disbelief clawing at his heart He just couldn't believe that all their struggles were for nothing But the proof was right in front of him, real and undeniable

'damn it! da way to solve the situation, but there was nothing his iination could come up with The dark sea with all its horrors drowned the world every night, and the only way to escape it was to clihts anywhere in sight, what could he do?

Sunny glanced at Nephis, who seemed to be even more crestfallen than him Her face had turned into an icy mask, a dark look full of bitterness and resent to co to say, but no words came to his mind

In the end, they both remained silent until the distant rumble announced the return of the dark see

Deep in the colossal crater, dark torrents appeared fro to fill it to the brim A little bit stunned, Sunny watched as the water level rapidly rose, finally turning the endless chasan to overflow, sending an unstoppable flood of water into the wasteland Flowing past the Ashen Barrow, it rushed inland, crushi+ng against the coral of the crimson labyrinth

Soon, the whole world was covered in seething black water

Sunny licked his dry lips and turned to Nephis After a short pause, he said in a raspy voice:

"I think we found the source of the dark sea"

She lingered, watching the last rays of sunshi+ne slowly disappear frorim expression on her face

"Let's head back"

All three of them felt lost and heartbroken because of the terrible discovery Cassie in particular seemed to be utterly shocked

"It doesn't make sense, it just doesn't," she mumbled on their way to ca Sunny's shoulder, she quickened her step and asked:

"Are you sure that there's nothing higher than the sea level out there? Are you absolutely sure?"

He sighed, feeling hiseven darker than before

"Yes We looked quite thoroughly The whole land just goes down, down, and down It stretches to the horizon, as far as we could see, in all directions except for the east The Ashen Barrow is right on the edge"

The blind girl shook her head:

"But how could it be? I've seen that we had reached the castle! Therehow to answer If there really was a way, he had no idea about it

After a few seconds, Nephis answered instead of hi too around the whole thing"

And each night bringing the risk of so onto the severalif not abyssal

'Ha, ha Abyssal'

With a grimace, he tried to not think of the worst-case scenario The darkness of the falling night was not the best environhts
