Chapter 525: My Territory
A hole was created in the Great Wall and the giant that was supposed to protect it was gone. Killed for a period of time that was unnatural. There were some figures in the Black Tower that were capable of killing the . That did not mean the hole was peaceful. People didn’t just walk through like it was a walk in the park.
Dasha mounted himself as the carriage on a rooftop. The Great Wall stood equal to the Dark Tower in importance to keeping the peace and for the past few weeks, there was an opening. A breach.
Gyges the Long-Limbed’s corpse was being used as a bridge.
’I get it. The inside of the Great Wall is dense with magic and mana, to the point that touching it burns the flesh. They need the corpse of the giant to walk.’
"Hm."
From inside the carriage, he heard Dr. Thornton muttering, "What’s wrong? Why did we stop?"
Dasha had sensed figures atop the corpse of a bridge. They did not move, however. They were preventing people from coming to and fro. They were trying to penetrate the corpse’s flesh.
’Scavengers. Attempting to harvest Gyges’ organs. Seems they have found limited success with their tools. However, sooner or later...’
He was going to need to keep an eye out.
"Aya, pull the lever," Dasha ordered. "Hold your breaths too. We’ll need to sneak through."
Creaak! Thud! The lever pull was tough and took some seconds to take into effect. An invisibility cloak, which had been bunched up from on the roof of the carriage, rolled out and covered the carriage. Both Dasha and his compatriots were unseen from the world.
