Chapter 13 Open Source! _2

Of course, open the city gates.

With this thought, the cult leader swiftly approached the threshold.

Mountain City is a small city.

The moat outside the gate serves more as decoration than actual defense; even without lowering the drawbridge, a swimmer could make it across. The heavy city gates serve as the true defense.

This wasn't difficult for him.

He trained in martial arts in his early years and had passed the 'muscle' stage.

He was confident he could do it.

Just as he exerted force with his arms, a huge hand suddenly pressed down on the threshold.

Behind him, the flames in the firepit crackled.

In the interplay of light and shadow, a massive silhouette enveloped the cult leader.
