Chapter 84: He wants you
After a long period of time, the whale opened its mouth and sunlight flooded the inside, making Riven wince in pain and cover his eyes. But like a thirsty man with water, his eyes turned towards the sun even as they watered.
Just how long was he in there?
He stood up shakily. Fortunately, the whale was moving much slower. He was able to crawl his way to the front, where the sharp fangs stood like small trees.
Malum once again showed himself upside down, but this time two of his bandages snapped down and wrapped around Riven. "You’re up!"
Before Riven could utter another word, he was lifted up straight into the air outside and dropped at the head of the undead monster whale.
Riven took a deep breath. He had a lot to say, and he would use up all the remaining energy in his thin body to say it if he had to. But just then, his gaze turned down to their surroundings.
They weren’t flying as high up as he thought. A city spread below him.
But unlike the glorious city he saw back when Kivara was traveling with him, this one was in ruins. Tall towers lay broken, buildings lay shattered, and here and there were large holes, craters that would swallow the whole of the Green Clouds Sect without any issues.
Large ditches decorated everywhere, overturned buildings, and between them all, forest had begun to reclaim the land. And among them all were the bones, white against the background. Hundreds of thousands of them, picked clean and just left discarded like broken toys.
And the city was big. Even though Riven was standing so high up, he couldn’t see the end in all directions.
