章 404: Volume VI - Chapter 37: Rust and Fear

~boom!

The shockwave from the explosion caused the whole place to shake like a tiny earthquake. Its sound echoed through the empty factory. Rust and dust rose into the air, and a foul odor filled my nostrils.

I pulled my knees closer to me, buried my head deeper in them, squeezed the necklace Aiden had given me and the jewel left by my brother as tightly as I could.

After the sky turned green and my vision and consciousness shut down, I found myself... inside this empty factory.

It was filled with the smell of rust that had turned to dust. Every explosion nearby, every scream... the slightest sound echoed.

And I... was hiding. Just hiding.

I narrowed my eyes, couldn't help gritting my teeth.

I had grown stronger.

I had become an Apostle of a Lord.

What had it done, then?

I never expected to suddenly become extremely powerful.

I know that getting stronger is not an easy thing to do.
