Return to Civilization

Exiting the cathedral, as expected, the three of them found themselves in the cave where the cathedral was located.

But the cocoons and eggs were nowhere to be found, as well as the acidic blood of the colossal spiders that had dropped here through the hole before.

The colossal trees were still there, but the atmosphere around them seemed to have changed somehow.

"This is… peaceful," Eric remarked as he glanced around in awe.

"But if they're scared of it, how does a cathedral get corrupted then?" he asked.
