Kapitel 158: Bottomless Malice

Moving on the path he resolved himself to move along, Ren found himself surrounded by gloomy formations of bones presented in the shape of cedar, looming over him with their ivory limbs. 

"I'm guessing this is bone-oak then...Must be close."

A valley of white within the abyssal caverns; a harrowing sight to find, juxtaposing the scenery he had become accustomed to. The soil-like ground beneath his step was embedded with the shavings of the bone-oak, caking it in a layer of dry snow as this same substance floated in the air. There hadn't been any monsters to interrupt his path beside the giant--coming to the conclusion that this area was one definitely occupied by other people. 

The path in front of him remained illuminated by the presence of the minuscule but plentiful bugs of light that filled the air, moving onward as he approached what was unmistakable a quarry.
