Ashes Of Deep Sea

Chapter 813: Chapter 810: Corrosive Sandstorm

Ashes… it’s easy to be assimilated by ashes…

The words of the young nun slightly startled Fenna; in that brief moment, she felt as if something in her mind loosened slightly. But just as she was about to ask more, the nun in the black dress suddenly gave her a faint smile and then dispersed into ashes before her very eyes.

“Ding… Ding Ding…”

The familiar knocking noise came from somewhere again, and then Fenna felt another presence in the church. She quickly looked in that direction, only to see a dim silhouette standing at the entrance of the church.

Then, the silhouette slowly walked towards her—with each step, the outline of the shadow became a bit clearer. Eventually, she could see that it was an old priest with a slightly hunched back, dressed in an old church uniform.

The old priest held a not-so-bright lamp in his hand, the palm showing a metallic sheen under the lamp light. It seemed that he had lost his arm in a battle long ago and replaced it with a steam-powered prosthetic limb. He slowly approached Fenna, yet his gaze never fell on her—the slightly sunken eyes seemed always fixed on something farther away.

A sudden, inexplicable sense of familiarity surged up, causing Fenna to rise from the bench and move towards the silhouette with a strange familiarity: “Hello, may I ask what this place is…”

The old priest finally stopped. His gaze still fixed beyond Fenna, he spoke calmly, “You have entered the wrong branch of history, Judge—hurry and find a way to leave here before you also become one of these ashes… He no longer discerns.”
