Ashes Of Deep Sea

Chapter 439 - 439 440 Sea Mist and Frost

?Chapter 439: Chapter 440 Sea Mist and Frost Chapter 439: Chapter 440 Sea Mist and Frost The night deepened, and the light snow that fluttered down showed no signs of stopping even as it continued into the late hours. Though not heavy, the snow still gently and silently covered the entire city—like pale bandages wrapping around the many wounds the city had sustained from the disaster, concealing everything that had not yet had the chance to heal.

Ruined buildings, bloodstains not yet cleared, decommissioned steam walkers, barricades awaiting dismantlement, and the dried “mud” that clogged nearly every corner of the city, the cleanup of which was an unknown time away.

The mirror invasion had receded, but this supernatural disaster’s “by-product” had been left behind in the city in the form of physical matter.

The church had already taken over the city’s operations after nightfall.

Guards carrying lanterns were watchfully eyeing the streets under the cover of darkness, on alert for any sinister sounds that might emerge from the shadows not fully illuminated by the gas street lamps.

The air was filled with the scent of incense burning, and the whispered prayers of the Night Watch Priests carried a reassuring power.

“It seems quite peaceful tonight…” A guard dressed in black stared at the dim spots on the street for a long time before suddenly muttering to a companion, “I thought there’d still be a harsh battle tonight.”

“Everyone thought so,” another female guard in black spoke softly, her lantern at her waist fixed with prayerful scripture ribbons sealed with fire lacquer, indicating her as the leader of their squad, “After all, we’ve just been through such a severe Transcendent disaster, and a large number of priests have been sacrificed… Logically, the City-State’s defenses should be at their lowest tonight.”

“It seems like there are no reports from other night watch squads—there hasn’t been a single whistle all night.”

“…Anyway, stay alert. Until the sun rises, we can’t let our guard down for a moment.”
