Chapter 205: Taking the skies (1)
’Damn. What now?’
His path down stopped after descending thirty meters down. The darkness remained as cover but the vines and plants stopped at this height.
’They removed them to maintain the walls. This is bigger than I expected.’
The fact that the walls were cleaned and maintained may seem simple but it told Hex something more. It showed that the royals had a complete system set up in this ruin, hidden from the eyes of the rest of the kingdom. Their planning was so thorough that they took note of the smallest details.
’And I have to ruin a plan of such a scale?’
Hex almost turned tails and ran away. Although he could be fearless at times, the prospect of facing an opponent with such preparation and resources depressed him. He rather faced the mindless Heartless and bloodthirsty beasts.
But he suppressed his nervousness and tried to find a way down without attracting attention. He briefly considered trying his luck by going further away from the Temple District’s wall but decided against it.
’I prefer to take my chances with the Knight below than the dangers lurking deeper in this district.’
The lack of grip on the wall held him back. Using his immense strength he might be able to poke his fingers into the massive mall but the debris might alert someone below. It was too risky.
’Wait,’ suddenly his eyes lit up. ’What if instead of breaking, I try burning a hole?’
He immediately put his thoughts into action. He bent his fingers like a claw and touched the wall. Nothing happened at first but Hex focussed the energy on the tops of his fingers. The color of the energy cloaked around his tops turned black.
