Bab 167: Plan in action

Alex moved slowly, each step deliberate. He knew the temple's layout relatively well since the last time he was inside, having explored a decent chunk of it the previous time he entered before he was scared away by The Whisperer.

'Nearly there.'

His goal was the thin corridor he had met The Whisperer in during his last encounter with it.

Alex's idea was that even if the explosion itself was somehow not powerful enough to kill The Whisperer, then the resulting collapse of the surrounding temple would finish the job.

The place was already practically falling apart, so the explosion would be all he needed to take the whole thing down on top of The Whisperer.

The only downside was that he would also be crushed alive within it as well…

But that was a problem for him to face in the future.

Besides, the test only said that he had to assassinate his target.

It didn't say anything about Alex surviving…

'Here!'
