Chapter 705: The Ancient Tomb

The Dead Forest in Onistead.

The magnificent and mysterious ancient circular altar, with its rough stone carvings, still exuded the imposing aura that once commanded the allegiance of thousands.

Yet, the desolation that surrounded it stood in stark contrast to the vibrancy of this burial ground.

Brushing away the weeds, a rare and massive stone statue slowly came into view, with fist-sized eyes that seemed to pierce through one's soul.

The red crystal glowed ominously under the sunlight, emitting a crimson radiance.

"Oh my god! Is this stone carving really an ancient relic? It looks so lifelike, like a masterpiece of celestial craftsmanship!" exclaimed Martha, Nora's college roommate. Meanwhile, Nora was capturing the scenery on her canvas.

After dropping out of Onistead University, she had enrolled in a second-rate art academy, where her previous outstanding performance quickly earned her the reputation of being an exemplary student in the eyes of the teachers.

This field trip was her first assignment since starting her graduate studies, a chance to impress her classmates and teachers.

She had decided on a theme - seek novelty!

Hearing about the eerie Dead Forest in Onistead, she promptly enlisted a roommate and ventured inside, prepared for whatever lay ahead.

The scenery here was undeniably eerie, markedly different from the outside world, and she immediately settled on the theme of "The Tomb."

As she was listening to the exclamation, Nora paused her brush and looked up.

In that moment, it felt as if she had transcended time and space.

The massive stone serpent sculpture, engraved with two crimson eyes, seemed to lock eyes with her, sending a cold and sinister energy rushing through her body, leaving her mind blank. Her petite frame, surrounded by an overwhelming wave of awe and sorrow.
