Chapter 202: Deliverance
Sunny almost stumbled because of the terrible realization.
Was the mutilated body inside the nest of moss... still alive?
’That’s... got to be painful.’
Thousands of years must have passed since the flying ship crashed on this desolate island. How long had this poor soul suffered this harrowing torture? What sin had they committed, and who had doomed them for an eternity of ghastly suffering? How had the vines ended up growing from their flesh, and why?
But most importantly... how the hell was that mangled thing not dead?! Even divine flame was powerless to end its grisly, gruesome existence.
If Sunny could find the answer, maybe he would be able to kill the Corrupted Monster, after all.
Using the momentary lull in the onslaught of the vines that Saint’s appearance had bought him, he faced away from the fight and tried to understand what the host of the abominable growth was pointing at.
He desperately hoped that the ancient human was, indeed, trying to point at something, and not just convulsing in terrible pain.
’Where is it... what is it...’
His gaze flew to a certain point on the wall of the cargo hold and lingered on it.
At first glance, there was nothing different about it. That section of the bulkhead was just like all the rest, ancient and overgrown with brown moss. But as he looked closer, he noticed a small gap in the layer of moss, as well as a strange bend to the vines growing on that particular wall.
