Chapter 138: Knight of Suffering
“The first phase of ‘The Homesick Witch’ is done. Next, I need to find out if there’s any way to obtain information on the ‘Witch’s Forest.’ I’m really interested in the rewards for those tasks…”
Colin took a deep breath and bent down to pick up the witch’s head. After placing it in his backpack, he glanced at another vague area illuminated by the surrounding light.
In the next moment, his figure transformed into a streak of light again.
Before long, outside the saltpeter mine, a streak of light flashed from afar.
Colin’s body materialized from the tip of his toes, from transparency to solidity, emerging from the void. He stepped onto the damp ground, his foot sinking into a sticky “puddle” full of blood, fragments of organs, and other gruesome mixtures.
At the same time, a faint warm breeze brushed against him, carrying the smells of charred flesh, rotting meat, and acrid smoke, all mingling unpleasantly.
“This…”
Colin didn’t pay attention to what was beneath his feet or the foul odors. Instead, his gaze fell ahead, momentarily dazed by the sight…
A four-meter-high “wall” made of corpses—a combination of flesh and blood—stood like a dam around the entrance to the saltpeter mine.
