Chapter 234: This is mine
’Should I enter or not?’
Hex looked at the entrance, torn between the two options. Any other time he would have entered. But this time he hesitated. Not for long. But still.
Hearing the howls of the turbulent winds, the wrecking of roofs, and the destruction of buildings, he glanced at the sky. The battle raged on.
The night sky wasn’t dark anymore. Fiery dark red clashed against the colors of the rainbow. All types of blue flashed in between them. Surges of water extinguished rains of fire. Between the howls, one could hear the loud hollering of a beast.
Hex couldn’t tell which powerhouse or group of powers swayed the battle in his or their favor. It was pure chaos. And literally so. He could sense it as he believed others could too. The clash of energies caused the refined or so-called Blessed energy in the air to turn berserk. The energy reverted to its chaotic state.
’Fuck it.’ He swore and made his mind up. ’I will just check and if it’s nothing major, I will leave them alone.’
He didn’t think the people who destroyed the wall had good intentions. But at times a choice between bad and worse was required. He could waste time on a bunch of infiltrators or try to tilt the battle in the sky in his favor.
After making sure the entrance was unguarded, he entered the building. The colors of the sky stayed on the outside. The corridor and the stairs were dark. Hex sensed one person at the end of the corridor.
As a scavenger, he knew to blend in the darkness and move undetected. The Knight at the end of the corridor didn’t notice him, not even when he stood within reach. Careful not to let his breath betray his presence, Hex chopped at the Knight’s neck.
Hex put his arms around the man as soon as he went limp. Hex dragged the man under the stairs and studied his general features. A quick application of the morphuse potions helped him adjust his appearance. It wasn’t perfect. But it would work in the dark. At least, that was what he hoped.
He quickly found a few more of his group. Hex didn’t recognize any of the Knights. Neither did he discover any clues. But Hex noticed they were searching for something. What, he didn’t know.
