A hopeless endevour

Boom!

However, he barely even made it a few hundred metres, before something landed from above and blocked his path.

A Lux appeared before them through the smoky environment, with his gaze trained on the two of them, expressionless. If Alex could compare his look to a human, it would be 'indifference.'

Alex was naturally aggrieved by this delay in their retreat, and launched himself at the immobile Lux. He couldn't understand why it would just stand there if it had already made an entrance just like that, but he couldn't care less anyway.

If there was an obstacle in his path, then he would just remove that obstacle!

It only took a moment for him to arrive in front of the lone Lux, and he stretched Virtue's Edge out to attack hisneck, intending to lop his head off and be done with this delay in no time.

CLANGG!

However, his face twisted the moment his sword made contact with the Lux's neck.
