Chapter 569.3
It was a stone shrine that seemed to be an integral part of the garden, but for some reason, this shrine was different from the other things in the garden in that it was noticeably older.
But Shii’s eyes were not focused on the shrine.
What she was looking at was the center of the shrine – something white, bone-like material.
Floating by itself in the center of the shrine, as if it were a sacred object, it was so battered that at first glance it was difficult to tell what it was… But from the shape of the handle and sword guard, it was probably a sword.
However, it did not have a blade. The blade was broken completely at the root, so this sword could not even be used as a knife.
Even if one were to touch the only small portion of the blade that remained with bare hands, it was so mangled that one would most likely not be injured at all.
It was a sword that seemed to have no offensive power left… However, the pressure emanating from it said otherwise, indicating that it was not just a broken sword.
It was a pressure even stronger than the hostility Lefi showed when she saw any adversaries.
Shii, who had never shown fear up to this point, became frightened for the first time.
