How To Ruin The Original Work (16 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 152

Meanwhile, Nigel climbed the mountain fearlessly, unaware that the egg which had warmed her chest had vanished.

In the mountain at night, all Nigel had to rely on was the map given to her by Jane, an employee of the merchant guild, and a faint magical flame that weakly lit her surroundings—but her steps never faltered.
