Chapter 409: The Weight of a City
After I managed to catch up to the floating city with Yoru, I quickly flew upwards and saw how the people were holding onto any structure around them.
The entire city had essentially become a flying island, and the more it went up, the more it shook, so the citizens were bracing themselves with pure fear on their faces.
When I looked up, I could see the Earth Dragon above the clouds with his wings fully extended, but I couldn’t simply attack him and bring down the city.
’What the hell can I do...?’ I thought, and my doubts made my awakening wane.
I could see plenty of soldiers unconscious on the ground. Since Melina killed Baelzor, all of the imps that were possessing them had left their bodies, so most of them lost consciousness.
It wasn’t easy to detail people’s faces from the height where I was flying, but somehow, when I looked to the side and spotted a man lying face up on the ground, I could see his face clearly.
’Is that...?’ I wondered.
I had the feeling that I had seen that man before, but I couldn’t remember where. Moreover, it wouldn’t make sense for me to know any of the enemy soldiers, so it took me a few seconds to figure it out.
’Ah... I remember,’ I thought, reminiscing about my time in The Pit before it got destroyed by Drakzen and Baelzor.
