Chapter 556: Puzzled
‘You have defeated [Unison of the candles - lv. 299]’
Sofia’s hand dug inside of the tall zombie’s entrails, it had collapsed by itself when the last of the candle zombies had died. She soon found what she was searching for.
“Would you look at that, another Heart of Velania mana stone. Who could have guessed? I swear, these better be useful in some way.”
Sofia stored the thing and looked around. Since she had killed all the candle zombies, there was no more light around except for her own candle she had just brought out again. Bookie had been teleported back to his own trial as soon as the fight was over, so Sofia was just there, alone on a pile of charred corpses.
Curious, she checked the logs with Mr.Scribe’s help.
“Nine thousand five hundred fifty eight!” she read out loud. “That’s crazy. What a messy fight. Well, let’s not linger, this place smells horrible. The only question is, where to?”
Sofia’s first instinct was to go check the side entrance the zombies had been all coming from, but to her surprise, they had all collapsed a few meters in. She thought it was too weird to be a coincidence, so it must have been a sign that this was not the way to go. Thus she went the only way she could go, back to the entrance.
“Oh woah. Not what I expected.”
The candle zombies were all gone, it was obvious what had happened to them, but surprisingly the giant statue of Sorrow was also nowhere to be seen, in its place was a wide and steep staircase going down.
