His figure slowly descended onto an ancient stone road.
The moment his feet touched the ground...
A cloud of dust rose into the air.
The silence was absolute.
Not even the wind dared disturb this forgotten place.
He walked slowly through the deserted streets.
Collapsed buildings surrounded him on every side.
Ancient inscriptions covered countless walls, though time had weathered them beyond recognition.
Occasionally...
His perception detected the presence of dormant monsters hidden beneath the ruins.
Yet none dared approach him.
It was as though they instinctively recognized the overwhelming danger he represented.
Several minutes later...
Alix stopped before an enormous structure near the center of the city.
Unlike the surrounding buildings. This one remained remarkably intact.
Its massive bronze doors had long since collapsed, leaving the entrance completely exposed.
He stepped inside.
The interior resembled an enormous hall.
