I ducked down instinctively, but since nothing came flying my way, I decided to have a look for a tiny bit longer. Enough to realize that they all were focused on the tower itself, and had no idea I was down there.
Why? Well, now I know the reason, but back then I had no idea.
Since they weren't doing anything I was unsure if I should get closer. The numbers were on their side, not to mention the fact they were actually in the city, which meant that they were stronger than what I encountered before.
I wasn't sure if I should try to fight them.
"Maybe they were the ones who pushed Ixa away?", I asked myself.
Despite the worry, I had to make a decision. Either turn around to come back later, stronger, or go there and try my luck. I knew that I was powerful, the question was if I was powerful enough. The worries wouldn't leave my mind, but I wasn't really worrying about myself. I was worrying about the Arc.
