Chapter 172: Mobius Loop
Sunny approached the Sanctuary of Noctis in the middle of the night. He had parted with Sparkle, who said that she had something to look for at the Desecrated Grove, another island of the Chained Isles. Supposedly, it would help to return to the Seed of Nightmare...
Landing on the soft grass and hearing the familiar sound of water falling over the edge of the island, Sunny grinned.
’First things first...’
The moon was high in the sky, which meant that he was finally going to get his sweet, enchanting reward.
His desire to find the source of the miraculous coins the dead Chain Worm had brought with it to the Iron Hand Island started this whole ordeal, and now, the coins would be its end.
His prize was waiting for him up ahead...
Entering the Sanctuary, Sunny walked through the empty garden and approached the clear pond in its center. Stopping for a couple of moments to make sure that no one was watching him, he then crossed the stone path leading to the small island in its center.
There, a white altar stood in the shade of an ancient tree, and an obsidian knife lay on its surface.
’The moment of truth...’
Sunny summoned the Covetous Coffer, took out one of the gold coins out of it, and placed it on the altar.
The coin shimmered, reflecting the moonlight, and then disappeared.
