Francis chose the southern path, where the ruins stretched as far as the eye could see. Crumbling walls and collapsed structures formed a haunting backdrop against the darkened sky. Nature had reclaimed the land, with overgrown vines and twisted branches entangling the remnants of what had once been homes and shops. The very fabric of civilization seemed to unravel, leaving behind a harrowing testament to the power of the monsters that had laid waste to the area.
Peter and Sora ventured to the east, where the devastation manifested in a different form. The landscape was marred by deep, jagged chasms that tore through the earth, as if the very ground had been ripped apart by an unimaginable force. The earth trembled beneath their feet, a constant reminder of the power that still lurked in the shadows.
