"Should I use my mantle?" Avankor asked, perhaps assuming that Lucius's silence was due to the decay that blocked their path.
"Oh, don't worry about that," Lucius replied.
With that, he used his crux to inject his energies into the ground, parting through the decay that plagued the path in front of them. And just as he had expected, the decay began breaking down, before converting into usable energy.
However, something rather odd happened, as if the decay were alive, it began trying to fight back, slithering and snaking around the area he had just purged. However its resistance was futile, as the presence of Lucius's energy prevented the decay from reclaiming the area.
Unfortunately, that also meant that when he moved his energy, the area he left behind was immediately reclaimed.
~Hmm, this could work to our advantage though,~ he thought to himself as he moved the cart through the areas he had cleared.
