章 54: The Tower of Ruins II

Grimm had made his mind to explore this arcane tower.

The yard reeked of a smell of rotten grass, which had run rampant. The moment Grimm stepped through the gate, he noticed two peculiarities—the noise of the academy was gone and he couldn't hear a thing, not even the striking bells; the brilliant light was gone as well.

As Grimm was hesitating on whether to enter the Tower of Ruins or not, he heard a rustle of the tall grass behind him. He jerked his head about and found a pair of green eyes staring at him, which then disappeared in no time.

The strange thing about the eyes was that Grimm didn't feel their existence, neither through his mask's echolocation nor via his sharp sense of smell.

But Grimm was determined that the tower was just under the control of some fancy sorcery instead of being haunted. So he walked towards it. The sound of his footprints echoed the noise produced when the grass was stamped down.
