With everything done, it was time to see what other rewards the chest held. Only then could Noa leave the tomb.
But first, he had to see what went through Thalia's mind.
The girl had seen how the Graveworm had devoured core fragments and then noticed Noa's strange condition that lasted only for a heartbeat.
The former scene wasn't strange at all.
Graveworms were known for eating ashes, so neither she nor the two other girls thought much about it.
As for the second scenario, thankfully, she was the only one to notice it.
That's why her eyes locked onto his, afraid that he was in pain.
Seeing this, Noa chuckled. "It's nothing," he said, keeping a warm smile on his face. "I am fine, so stop looking at me with puppy eyes."
Thalia's brows twitched.
She, too, smiled wryly, her voice going low. "Good to hear. Now, on to opening the chest—it's your turn, right?"
Just like always, she ignored both Liz and Lily.
