Two days later, the outline of Pangaea Castle's walls in the Fire District finally emerged beneath the setting sun.
Flame totems were carved into the reddish-brown walls, and towering spires pierced the clouds!
Levi stood before the city gates, watching the people coming and going, the ancient city's bustle reflected in his gray-blue eyes.
The gates slowly opened, and they stepped inside, their shadows stretching long in the twilight...
"It's magnificent!" Hange's eyes widened as she marveled at the grand, ancient city.
Ninja spat streams of water to wash the streets, while others lit the roadside lamps with a wave of their hands.
Levi and Kurusu paid more attention to the powerful figures hurrying past.
Erwin recognized Hiruzen Sarutobi speaking with several elders in the distance. Lord Sarutobi Sasuke stood beside him, as imposing as ever.
His gaze swept over the merchandise displayed in the shops along the street-rifles and kunai shared a shelf, a samurai sword identical to the one in his hand was prominently displayed, and Vertical Maneuvering Equipment hung beside it.
"It seems the Shinobi World's control over the other worlds runs deeper than I thought."
Hange stared fixedly at the scrolls in a shop, her eyes filled with longing and a thirst for knowledge.
A young man in plain gray clothes standing in a corner caught Levi's attention, and he could not help giving him a few extra glances.
This man was an expert!
However unremarkable and ordinary the man looked, Levi had reached that conclusion by analyzing his gait and the sound of his footsteps.
It made Levi instinctively tense.
He narrowed his eyes out of habit, his steps pausing slightly, his gaze like an unsheathed blade.
This was an instinct honed over years in the underground city and on battlefields against Titans.
