Chapter 502: Anchored Bridge

Dazed by Cardinal Weiss' words, Kieran stared in disbelieving silence.

'Long enough?'

Kieran blinked away the remaining fog over his mind and craned his neck to see the jagged peaks above.

'What does he mean long enough? That's usually what you say when you have waited a long time. Or maybe Weiss is just impatient.'

Kieran wanted to believe that thought, but a glimpse of his surroundings told him differently. The Lifeless Pass seemed dimmer, darker… like a strange dusk had settled upon the expanse of death.

The noxious miasma also seemed deeper in color. Kieran was experiencing what he could only assume to be night in the Land of Ruin. Or the arrival of night. 

'So… not a couple of minutes. Hours then?'

Kieran's eyes swam to find proof to support his logic, but he was met with Cardinal Weiss' sympathetic gaze and consoling pats.
