Chapter 157 New Room


    Aleshia reflected on when they reunited in this space and agreed, "You''re right, Kailey. But as I''ve mentioned before, now that I have you with me, we don''t need the book." Still, she acknowledged Kailey''s point: "Although, if either Lucia or I get separated from you, the book would be useful." After settling the matter, Aleshia sighed and added, "All we need to do now is find a way out of this ruin, bring you back into your body, and help those people with their curses."


    Now that they had a schedule, Aleshia and Kailey resumed their search for an exit. With no other way out, they continued going through the doors. However, they continued to encounter blank rock walls. Kailey felt an increasing need for distraction, so she began casually flipping through the spellbook, hoping to uncover new information since she had only read a few sections. As she did this, her attention shifted back and forth between the book and the doors she opened, but she continued to see nothing but the same rocky surface.


    This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.


    Kailey mindlessly opened doors while flipping through the spellbook, skimming the pages for new information. Kailey was jolted out of her daze when Aleshia shook her and exclaimed, "Kailey, I''ve discovered a new room! It''s not just a rock wall or room with a mark; it has a completely different atmosphere from anything we''ve encountered."


    Intrigued, Kailey set the book down and followed Aleshia to the door to see the new room she had discovered. As she peered inside, Kailey asked, "What did you find?" Looking through the doorway, she added, as if recalling something, "This certainly isn''t just a barren rock wall; it looks like a graveyard."


    Aleshia and Kailey entered the room and walked toward the center, where several graves were. In one corner, they spotted a rundown hut. Kailey experienced a sense of familiarity and muttered, "I''m pretty sure I''ve been here before." As she focused on the gravestones, she recognized the inscriptions she had previously decoded, confirming her suspicions. "This is the hut where Lucia experimented with creating her own body. I''m certain this is where she found that wooden body you tried, Aleshia," she recalled from her earlier visit. Then she suggested, "We should search the hut for anything we can use to escape. Since this was Lucia''s storage for her unsuccessful creations, it could contain something we can use.
