Alex set a fifteen minutes timer and began to wrack his brain to see if any of his weapons were conditioned to leave an imprint on the wall. His mind rushed to his Atlas spear and he quickly sent it towards the wall at full blast.

So they prepared a wonderful gift for him, planning to give him a dreadful death and burial
