Shin and Lilia reached the next wall and climbed it without much trouble. The walls here were much smaller than the outer walls and looked maintained. The people of this city have never needed to defend the inner wall until the monster overran them.
Instead of a watch tower, Shin and Lilia camped at the top of a lighthouse this time. The lighthouse was massive, over a hundred meters in height, and climbing the stairs was more than exhausting.
Shin looked at the pale walls of the lighthouse, tracing his hand on them as they climbed the ashen stairs. Soon they found the first sign of life, ancient human life.
Countless ancient skeletons were sprawled on the stairs like broken dolls.
Even Lilia noticed that those skeletons were whole, not wounded by monsters, as none of the bones were broken or scratched.
