Section 1184: The Unknown Territory

The sky was oppressively dark, not the somber black of night, but a lifeless black of deathly stillness.

The earth, however, was ablaze with fires that seemed to spring from fissures in the magma, revealing the brownish-red ground that resembled a surface stained with blood.

Meanwhile, another familiar figure was slowly getting up…

Dororo's eyes snapped open, his pale pupils contracting to slits, his forehead slick with sweat.

Chills ran down his spine, and an indescribable sense of frustration filled his heart.
