Chapter 236: At the mansion (2)
The crystals disintegrated under his control.
Hex sensed two people on the lower floor. The intense energy fluctuations coming from below warned of a fierce battle.
’Two Refined Knight...or one Refined Knight and one Knight? I...can’t tell.’
It was the first time he couldn’t gouge someone’s strength. Hex, however, wasn’t fazed by it. Ever since he entered the Temple district, he experienced many first times. At this point, he expected things to take twists and turns.
’If I descent the stairs now, I might suffer attacks from both sides,’ Hex thought with a frown. ’Let’s check things out first. Perhaps there will be an opening I can take advantage of.’
A small burst of flame occurred beneath his feet and the ice around him melted. How long before it froze once again? Hex didn’t know but he hoped he would be able to make his move before discovering it.
Despite being an ice element user, not to mention someone with a Dragon Bear Soul, Hex sensed a certain level of danger from the ice around him. The ice seemed...alive. It was hard to explain. The feeling came from within.
The Dragon Bear, however, roared in his mind. Without exchanging a word, Hex understood its desire to devour the ice crystal. Someone with a weaker will might have succumbed to the intense desire. Or they would have gone mad. Hex remained sane.
Hex stuck his head out. The battle continued. He lowered his head. The battle still continued. He pushed his body through the hole and hung half of it at the edge.
