When Malcolm and Syed saw the black stone pillar, their faces turned full of urgency and worry.
"Hurry, we're running out of time. Codex is almost out of control!" Syed shouted.
Aiden looked at the black stone pillar. Rather than a pillar, it looked more like a huge finger.
"So this is Codex? A giant finger? Or is this just one finger that Codex has stretched out?" Aiden guessed to himself.
He was standing at the edge of the magma, fairly close to the huge black finger.
A strange feeling came over him. Even though sweat was running down his forehead, Aiden felt cold.
"Killing intent? Yes, that's definitely killing intent. It feels a lot like when I faced the strongest killing intent in the remnant soldier trial," Aiden thought, his eyes suddenly lighting up.
This intense killing intent was actually a good thing for him.
