Chapter 306 (Teaser)
An artistic masterpiece—that was what the gothic cathedral with its sharp spire looked like from afar.
But up close, the impression it gave was far from it.
It appeared to have been deserted for decades, with its cracked stained glass and corroded outer walls. And the shroud of black mist serving as its foundation allowed the cathedral to defy the laws of gravity, giving it an ominous look. But aside from that, the cathedral carried little presence.
