Chapter 261: Torch and Runes

Mizuto huffed and placed the items he held onto down, panting from how unexpectedly heavy they were. From their small sizes, he would never have guessed that each item weighed a ton. Sweatdropping at the dent they made on the ground, Mizuto exhaled breathily in return.

He crooked his head up and tilted it to the sides, stretching his neck that was stiff. The male also squatted several times to relieve his aching knees and calves from all that crouching he did. Not to mention, carrying those items he found was hell. "Now then... did they climb up?"

Mizuto rose his head and furrowed his eyebrows, "How in the world did they have the energy to climb this tree? It's a tower."

He deadpanned at the tall tree spiralling over him. Inspecting the tree, the twisting trunk was larger at the bottom, with its roots bulging out of the ground. The chances of Mizuto tripping over the roots was larger than fifty.
