Chapter 572: G Odd jobs
The three remaining shrouds looked perfectly identical. They were made of what looked like fine dark-purple silk, embroidered with gold threads.
The embroideries were elegant and simple, their thin golden threads drawing a repeating pattern out of Sorrow’s rune that covered almost the entire shrouds, with a margin the width of a hand from the borders, which were themselves thinly decorated with a darker, almost black lining with very fine flowery patterns that could only be seen from up close.
Sitting on the floor, Sofia and Ihuarah observed the three shrouds flying in a circle for almost two hours, trying a few different things without producing any results.
Sofia broke the silence with a sigh. “I really can’t see or feel any difference…”
“I hate to admit this, but neither do I…” Ihuarah replied, “Do you maybe want to try the spiritual plane again?” he asked without much enthusiasm.
“A fourth time? I would rather just find a way to get to the Recessed plane again, at least I might be able to follow the essence.”
“If only it were that easy… I am normally able to see Divine essence carried by mortals, but down here in the forbidden layer I might as well call myself blind.”
“Can you usually see the essence in this?” Sofia asked, bringing out her dagger.
“Of course. This one makes it hard to even see the other ones, if I have to describe it, it is like… A cold sun.”
