Ashes Of Deep Sea

Chapter 750 - 750 747 Sunset

?Chapter 750: Chapter 747 Sunset Chapter 750: Chapter 747 Sunset Seventy-two hours later, this prolonged sunset was gradually drawing to a close. At the edge of the Endless Sea, the brilliant orb of the sun now remained only as a thin golden rim and parts of the Rune Circle still lingered above the water surface. Amidst the cloud refractions, the twilight’s splendor grew even more magnificent, yet also increasingly dim.

The people of this world had no time to admire the beauty of the sunset—the grandeur of the twilight meant only the approach of night to most, and now, the entire world was slowly stepping into what might be the longest night in history.
