Chapter 159 – Runes
"Do you have any ideas about these lines?" Kaden asked, as he and Asael studied the strange markings carved into the cave walls, searching for anything— literally anything—that might help them conquer this dungeon.
Asael didn't respond right away. He examined the markings with a serious gaze, running his fingertips along the lines slowly, deliberately, as if feeling them would give him a better grasp of their meaning.
After several seconds—almost a full minute—he pulled his hand back and frowned slightly.
"It's weird. Very weird. This looks like something made by a human—or at least, a humanoid being—but… I've never seen another being here that wasn't corrupted like me." Asael said, tilted his head slightly.
"And I've been here for a very, very long time," he added, his expression unsettled.
That meant someone like him… or like Kaden… had been here before. That alone wasn't shocking after all this was a dungeon, people entered all the time.
