The Guardian System: The strongest Summoner's quest to save his family Chapter 370: Straight Lines in a Crooked World (2)

He found what looked like a main road cutting through the center of the complex. It was wider than the other passages and paved with the sa black material as the walls.

The ash here had been disturbed recently by sothing moving through it. Multiple tracks led down the road in different directions.
