Chapter 598 You Must Atone

Not far ahead lay a sheer cliff, empty and exposed; the ground dropped away on all sides. Looking down, the steep mountainside was wrapped in thick clouds, and the orange glow of dusk spilled over the vast white mist, refracting into a kaleidoscope of brilliant light.

This mountain was incredibly high–Jean had never seen anything like it.

The peak beneath her feet seemed to pierce straight through the clouds, stretching into the depths of the sky.

From up here, she could see the dense, impenetrable layers of cloud pressing down in clusters, each one bringing with it a crushing sense of suffocation.
