Bab 360: Volume V - Chapter 78: The Body in the Cocoon

"Ugh…"

A slight tremor spread through my body, accompanied by a slight ache.

It wasn't bad, though. It wasn't even something I should take seriously.

I opened and closed my eyes several times to clarify them, trying to sit up from where I was lying.

The first thing I saw was... darkness. Darkness with no end in sight.

Immediately after that, something fell on my face... a drop of cold water.

For a moment, my whole body froze, my eyes widened. I remembered where I was, why I was in this situation.

I stood up as fast as I could, turned to the cocoon of vines, and took a defensive position.

There were about twenty-five meters between me and the cocoon. It had completely disintegrated, the ground was covered with a strange liquid that looked like water. A body was barely visible among the fallen vines. It was lying on the ground. Part of its body was covered with vines, so I couldn't tell what it was, but... it looked like a woman.
