Chapter 159: Encountering the Heartless
Debris. Overgrown walls. Silence.
That was Hex’s first impression of the ruin as he entered it. The gate was a hundred meters wide, followed by a path tens of meters wider than the gate.
After an empty area, he saw broken buildings on both sides of the path.
’According to the map, this used to be the market district, similar to Notrelune.’ Hex believed that they built Notrelune mirroring Notresol.
There were no markings on the map for the market area, indicating no to few Heartless roaming around. It made sense. If the scouts roamed these places frequently, they perhaps cleared it.
Hex raised his head. The sky was still clear, and the sun shone brightly, but Hex didn’t feel its warmth. Neither was there any breeze inside the city.
’Even though this place is open and well-lit, it gives a similar feeling as a crevice inside the mountains.’
Hex split with the others in the market area. Unlike others who moved carefully and with caution, which slowed them down considerably, he could move faster. He relied on his senses to scout. It didn’t mean he became reckless but he didn’t have to check each nook and cranny.
’There seems to be a few Demons inside the building up ahead.’
The building he referred to had two stories. Based on the energy waves, he believed two Heartless to be on the first and three on the second floor.
He preferred hunting Fiend-stage Heartless but didn’t mind taking a few weaker ones out. It would also help him compare these to the ones he encountered in the Mountains.
