The rain was still falling when Holden climbed down from the wall and walked back toward the crater.
The mud sucked at his boots with every step, while the ash from the Siege Turtle was already turning into a grey paste, mixing with the rain and dirt until the crater looked like a giant had dumped a bowl of wet cement on the ground. Steam still rose from the edges where the heat had baked the mud solid.
Holden dropped into the crater.
The center was pure ash. He could feel the residual heat through his soles.
The glow appeared before he reached the center.
A Platinum Chest.
It hovered three inches above the ash, spinning slowly.
Holden's fingers closed around the metal surface, and the chest dissolved into his System Inventory instantly.
[Platinum Chest Acquired!]
[Stored in System Inventory.]
