Chapter 132 End Of The Line
In the center of the cursed city, a tall hill towered above the ruins At its base, an arch made of pristine white marble stood ah protected fro darkness by some sublime force Beyond the arch, a wide road paved hite stones scaled the hill
Sunny looked up as they passed beneath the arch, trying to i the sa thinking about how the ancient city must have looked before theher head, Effie said in a wistful tone:
"There are areas in the ruins that htmare Creatures tend to avoid for some reason The castle is one of these places I was told that back when the original group of Sleepers ca to carve a foothold in the city, there was only a single Spire Messenger nesting in the throne rooed to kill it"
Nephis gave her a glance
"Spire Messenger?"

"What are their rank and class?"
Effie shi+vered a little
"Fallen beasts That's why I said that those guys were a little rew silent and then added in a quiet voice:
"It must have taken a lot to kill theht into a solemn mood by that last statement, they continued forward in silence The stone road coiled around the hill, slowly cli stretches of stairs and forraceful fortifications No one was standing guard, though The whole road was eestured to one of the stone barricades and asked:
"Why are there no watch has barely enough people tothat approaches the hill, though The whole city is in clear view from up there, and there are different protective measures put in place They have already spotted us, too"
Sunny shi+fted his body a little, not enjoying the feeling of being watched by soers
…After a long ti road of white stone, they finally reached the zenith of the hill and saw the lory
Up close, it looked even nificent
Built from the same pristine marble as the arch at the base of the hill, it stretched into the sky like a white mountain , with a tall decorated gate and a grandiose staircase leading down from it to a vast stone platform that the road ended with
On both sides of the fronthtly forth, two other stood as bastions, connected to it with arched aerial bridges and accompanied by smaller companion towers of their own Behind the to challenge theCrimson Spire that loomed above the world far in the distance
S a coely harmonious formation
The whole structure was incredibly beautiful, striking, and at the sa of unassailable firh the castle was built for Gods, notthat spoiled the picture were dozens of huates on rusty chains
Sunny griht
His gaze fell lower, only now noticing dozens of crude, makeshi+ft hovels huddled on the stone platfor wood and pieces ofto the stones as if afraid to be bloay by the wind
An unpleasant, strangely familiar smell hit him in the nose a few moments later It was the motley, but un like the poisonous reek of the outskirts, and at the same time exactly the same
Sunny couldn't help but smile crookedly
