Chapter 354: A different kind of human.
Upper Bloodlands – Caelid.
Here, in the heart of the continent, at its very core...
Under a sky stained crimson by the slowly setting sun...
A bizarre and inexplicable sight stood— a city built as the capital of this cursed land.
Deserts and barren wastelands surrounded it from every side, sealing it off completely. Yet the moment one neared Caelid, the desolation would inexplicably transform into verdant, vibrant terrain, so alive that even the air felt different.
Between life and death, there existed a thin, invisible barrier .. an unseen line that separated the Upper Bloodlands from the filth beyond.
There was no comparison between the chaotic cities where the elite class wandered and this flourishing capital known as Caelid.
The city stood tall with skyscrapers and advanced structures, brimming with vitality and elegance.
Its people looked like nobles from the Victorian era, strolling with grace through the clean streets built just for them.
This was Caelid—home of the Upper Blood. Those rare humans who had managed to assimilate demonic blood and were chosen to leave the forsaken hell they were born into.
It was terrifying .. how a minority came to possess everything millions outside that barrier could only dream of.
