Chrysalis

Chapter 1375

It’s amazing how quickly a week can go by when you’re trying to make sure you haven’t jinxed your entire family. In a blink, we are back at the entrance to the fifth, waiting to descend back into the stratum. This time, we’ve scaled up the size of our exploratory team to double what it was before. A thousand wuffers, ten thousand ants, me and the crew, along with our Legion onlookers.

[Are you really sure you want to go down there?] I ask Morrelia. [It’s gross. And not in a casual way. The fifth is almost professionally disgusting.]

She glares up at me, her eyes dark and stormy, like they always are.

[I’ve been there before. Are you worried I won’t be able to handle it?]

[Handle it? Handle what? You’ll be all nice and safe, tucked away in a pocket of purified mana. I’m the one who has to run around in the acid and sludge.]

She looks a little surprised to hear that.

[You can survive in there?]

[Of course! Well… for a while, anyway.]

[I’m impressed. I know firsthand just how hostile to life the fifth is.]

[Bah, no you don’t. There’s no chance a human could get out there directly. At best, you were in a protective suit thicker than my carapace.]

Morrelia hesitates.

[Actually… there is a human who survived direct exposure….]
