Chapter 94: Explosive Escape / Systems Synchronisation. (1/2)

*BOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!*

Fiery flames instantaneously burst towards them with intense force. The surrounding walls collapsed, as the horned one exploded.

The young girl barely knew what hit her, she didn't have any time at all to react. Instead, she took a step back and reflexively closed her eyes upon doing so.

The face of her mother flashed through her mind as her tear evaporated.

But just as that happened, she suddenly felt herself move. Rather, she was moving at high speeds.

It wasn't her doing the moving, it felt strangely similar to being carried.

Opening her eyes, they dilated as she looked around.

She could see nothing but dark flames around them. Rather than burning them it seemed to be protecting them.

Delta's arms were wrapped around here, holding them as they travelled at fast speeds. Delta held on tightly as the flames propelled her forward.

They were being emitted out of her feet like jets. Upon a closer inspection, she noticed that they were quite literally flying.

Around them, she could slightly see other flames.

They were intense and glowed a bright orange.

They were most likely the flames from the explosion and had already passed them.

Delta's flames which were consuming the intense bright orange flames were what was stopping them from being scorched alive.

Despite that the entire infrastructure was collapsing. Pieces of debris was falling down ahead of them as the cracks progressed at a faster rate.

A large piece of rock from the celling suddenly collapsed ahead of their path.

Delta avoided it by stretching her leg out to the left, propelling her to the sides in the process.

*Swoosh*

Her eyes widened, as another large piece appeared before them.

Delta stretched her leg out to the other side, avoiding it by a hairsbreadth.

After dodging it, all that laid ahead of them was a staircase which they were supposed to ascend.

They were nearly there.

But it was then that it happened.

Everything collapsed.

Countless chunks of stone from the ceiling began to collapse ahead of them.

”Hold on tight.” Said Delta with a nervous smile.

The young girl closed her eyes and squeezed her tightly.

The dark flames which were propelling Delta, grew more intense and condensed. Their velocity suddenly leaped by bounds as it burst out.

[Dark Flame… Jet Cannon!]

Their figure almost seemed to vanish as they leaped in velocity.

*CRASH!* *CRASH!*

Gray sat quietly in the darkness.

For the last few hours, he hadn't said a word or moved a muscle.

He just sat there, thinking.

[…]

The system's orb on the other hand, seemed to be busy with something.

It wasn't moving either, but the sequence of numbers around it would constantly change as it levitated in the air.

Gray could feel that it was up to something.

”…What are you doing…?” Gray asked.

The orb suddenly turned to him, and replied again it's feminine robotic voice.

[Analysing…]

”With what…?” Gray asked.

[The Chronicles of The Chronos]

[By analysing, information over it will be updated.]

Growing tired of his position, Gray stooped to his back before letting out a sigh.
