When it was all said and done, the wall behind Reiji stirred. A deep vibration rolled through the entire area, breaking into violent surges that shook dust from the ceiling. The mechanical layer that had held him pinned then started to split apart violently.
Ren steadied his grip on the Pact Blade, getting ready. Its light was no longer as bright as it had been on other occasions, but he could still rely on it somewhat. He lifted it, even as his shoulders ached and his body screamed with fatigue and pain.
The surface of Reiji's wall was covered with a layer of sigils that were pinned chaotically all over the place. They were what had been holding him in place all along, but in an instant, they all tore aside like simple crumpling paper as the wall broke apart completely.
And from that cavity, Reiji pulled himself free.
