Kapitel 144: Artifact Spirit

William groggily opened his eyes after an unknown amount of time. He was on his side, lying on the cold stone floor of a dimly lit room. He could barely make out a glowing blue figure standing in the center of the room in front of a tall stone pillar.

"Did I die...? This doesn't look like the courtyard..." he mumbled to himself as he placed his hands on the floor. The color of his skin was a shade darker than normal, and his hands felt a bit rougher than before, but he assumed he was just exhausted, and the poor lighting was probably messing with his head.

"Dead? Hahaha, no my boy." the glowing figure spoke. The figure bent slightly and released a slight chuckle, "Although I'm surprised you were able to survive two entire floors of the trial while asleep. Maybe you would be dead if I hadn't intervened and stopped the next trial from starting."
