Chapter 115: The Origin of the Invisible Veil

The ethereal green Spiritual Body's fire flitted across the entire factory like a drifting play of light and shadow, taking only a few seconds. This disturbance, stemming from a higher Transcendent power, was like a gust of wind lifting the veil laid upon "reality," thus revealing the concealed truth underneath to Sherry and Duncan.

Ashes, nothing but ashes, human-shaped ashes, shapeless ashes, charred walls, melted rooftops, the twisted and brittle casings of machines licked by flames, and heaps of molten material that had almost lost their outlines were piled together. The entire factory area seemed like a flaming inferno that had just cooled down not long ago. The fire was out, but the might that had melted everything still seemed to linger in the air.

Sherry stood in the center of the remnants of the fire scene, her gaze somewhat vacant, while Ah Dog silently approached her side and gently propped up her body with his bony and jagged back.
