At another location of the Undead Cradle, the moment the spatial turbulence subsided, Ace's vision stabilized once more.
Once again, the familiar scenery appeared. Cold abyssal winds swept across the barren land while the faint scent of Corpse Qi lingered in the air.
The sky above the Undead Cradle remained eternally dim, yet this time, the very first thing Ace noticed wasn't the ruined battlefield beneath his feet; it was the heavens.
A colossal devilish owl covered the entire sky like a supreme ruler watching over the world. Its vast wings stretched beyond sight while those hollow dark eyes overlooked everything beneath with eerie indifference.
Although Ace was expecting to see his thief symbol in the sky, he couldn't stop the faint astonishment that flashed through his eyes, as it was truly grand and somewhat excessive.
"...System, you could've warned me." He smiled wryly beneath Kharon Veyth's demonic face.
