To the Blood Pagoda (I)

One way to reach the island would be by swimming, but Cain was not dumb enough to jump into a sea full of blood. There was no way to know what kind of Wave Beasts where there it or if the blood itself was toxic.

Luckily, a large city was built on the shore. Unlike most cities built in the Godslayer Humankind Empire, there were no walls around it. That would be deadly in most cases due to Wave Beasts hiding in the forest, but the place was completely barren of such vegetal life.

Humans focused on keeping a stable balance with the ecosystem but did not go out of their way to create forests or the like. Usually, no large settlement would form in such barren terrain, but it was clear to Cain that the sea of blood proportionated all the energy and vitality that people and cultivators could need.
