Bab 725: Flesh Clots

Step. Step. Step.

Unafraid of the unknown, Adam stepped forward confidently, completely immersed in the darkness. He didn't know what was beyond the Serpent Gates, he didn't know where he was going, but he knew why - that was all that mattered.

Though Adam couldn't see it, he could feel the crimson mist covering everything around him, curiously passing over him to venture beyond the gate.

"How strange... I no longer feel like I am in the caverns. There's no familiar echo of my voice here, but I don't know how wide or narrow the boundaries of the passage are."

Silvana didn't have an answer to that question either. For her, as for Adam, the Serpent Gates and what lurked behind them was a frightening mystery.

Suddenly, cracking sounds came from outside.

Cracking. Crack. Crack.

Adam alerted, preparing to fight as he assumed a fighting stance. If several Sacrificial Holders attacked him in total darkness, it would be a tough fight for him.
