There was not a single hint of light within the pitch-black valley.
The calls of the Night Hawk echoed through the entire valley, like sorrowful cries filled with fury. Yet, Duanmu Huai remained unmoved, gripping his staff and striding slowly along the path leading to the peak of Sentry Ridge.

What Duanmu Huai intended to do next differed significantly from the usual Player Investigator. When faced with such circumstances, typical Player Investigators would armed themselves with certain tactics. They, however, tended to rely on external forces.

However, the spells in the Book of the Dead clearly weren't within the purview of human usage.
Truth be told, in Duanmu Huai's view, the plight of this world's humans was quite dismal.
