Chapter 32: Chaos

However, Lex's attention was drawn to distant plumes of black smoke, prompting him to ponder, 'I wonder where that's coming from.'

The possibility that more towns were under attack crossed his mind, and he didn't immediately consider the safety of Celestial City. Lex gave Midnight a reassuring stroke before resuming his journey.

Lex noticed Hivesfiends rushing through the distant forest as he walked along the old road.

He felt relieved that he had cast the spell, knowing it could keep him hidden from them because he didn't want to fight.

After hours of traveling, he couldn't help but notice an increasing number of Hivefiends heading north in a rush while they ignored other monsters.
