After a thunderous roar, the outer wall of the clock tower shattered, and the great bell let out a heavy lament. Belli tried to find Bologue's figure but saw a silhouette leaping into the air.
Bologue flung out a grappling hook, swinging towards the spire of the church.
Bologue was much more agile than Belli imagined, and in these days swinging around the Path of Uncertainty, his use of the grappling hook had improved significantly.
Belli, on the other hand, was fiercer than Bologue anticipated. From Belli's Ether strength, and his posture, one could easily discern his Secret Energy discipline—this was a Condenser of the Ascended Body School.
Most Condensers from the Ascended Body School have relatively simple Secret Energy nature, affecting only their own bodies. This makes them appear brute and straightforward, yet they are often tough to deal with.
