Ryu glided down the path at a pace that dwarfed most Spiritual Severing Experts. With his sharp eyes, any protections the Ruin Master left were next to useless. It didn't take much time at all for him to make it to the edge of a small opening.
The scene could only be described as horrid. The bodies of Amarice and Delonte, not to mention their fellow adventurers, was seemingly rotting from the inside out.
The entrance Ryu stood at was elevated far above the ground floor of this opening. If one was down below, his place would appear to be just one of many hive-like openings.
From Ryu's deep understanding of Ruins, he immediately understood this oddity. The path here was relatively short, but before the Ruin was cleared, it definitely wasn't so. Hecate's Ruins were probably a maze of forceful teleportations, so although the path to this place seemed short, the reality was that it would have taken Ryu several weeks to make it here had the Ruin not already been cleared.
