Chapter 295: Falling Onto the Battlefield (2/2)
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…!”
Before Stingham could finish preparing himself, he felt his body suddenly become weightless as the ground under him gave way and he plummeted.
Ayrin had originally prepared to jump between all of the falling rocks and boulders to slow his fall, but as his body fell, he felt countless chaotic currents of arcane energy slam into his body from all sides and angles, preventing him from jumping around.
“That is…”
As Ayrin fell, he squinted and forcefully looked down. What he saw caused his eyes to widen in shock.
The ground below them was basked in a golden glow, as if it was bathing in the rays of a setting sun. The surface constantly rose and fell like waves.
There were at least several hundred arcane teams densely clustered atop this area fighting against each other.
Various strange monsters, toxic insects, zombies, orcs, and even flaming skeletons filled his vision.
As for in the sky, outside of the black stones which were falling like mini mountains, there were also meteor-like falling clusters of light. Each one was a beast or arcane master wreathed in flames and arcane energy.
Further in the distance, at the very limit of what Ayrin could see, was an area covered with blackish red volcanos. Crimson red lava could be seen roiling within their mouths as they spewed intense black smog.
What seemed to be a human construct stood in the center of these volcanos and constantly released billowed clouds of dark purple arcane particles.
“There are so many arcane teams fighting… to think that the war has intensified to such a stage…”
Ayrin fell into such deep shock that he momentarily forgot to invoke his skills.
“Ayrin, hurry and use your arcane skills!” Rinloran shouted anxiously as he watched Ayrin remain in a daze.
Seeing how the arcane masters on the ground looked like ants to them, it was likely that the distance between levels was even greater than Lotton had expected.
Rinloran was certain that death would be inevitable if Ayrin remained in his dazed state and just fell without using any arcane skills.
“Puff!”
Rinloran had only just started yelling at Ayrin when something flew up from below them and collided with the two of them.
Upon realizing what it was, Ayrin and Rinloran were speechless.
It was Stingham.
The chaotically blowing winds around them must have contained many dandelion seeds as at this moment, Stingham was currently covered with massive, wildly sprouting dandelions. As a result, Stingham’s body had begun floating through the wind instead of falling.
“He’s truly become a walking forest,” Ayrin thought to himself. Currently, he couldn’t even see Stingham’s face. He only recognized that it was Stingham because of the screams coming out from within.
“If we float down like this, we will definitely survive,” Rinloran thought as he observed the vegetation growing around Stingham become even more prolific. Furthermore, of the massive dandelions and other plants, many had already grown to a size far beyond their normal size. As a result, they didn’t plummet, even with their added weights, and instead slowed down.
Puff! Puff!
Two more objects collided into the cotton fluff ball moving forest which Stingham had practically become. They were none other than Lotton and the Dark Queen Mermaid, who had utilized the forces released by their arcane skills to glide over.
Boom!
After a while, their moving forest crashed into the ground alongside numerous boulders.
The battlefield, which had seemed extremely chaotic to begin with, became even more chaotic.
The originally open plain was now covered with countless rock fragments.
“Indeed useful. We are fortunate Stingham swallowed the entire remaining Lunar Spring Essence and fully awakened his bloodline. Otherwise, we would definitely have all turned into meat patties,” Ayrin said as he clawed his way out from under the mass of weeds and dandelions. As he patted around him, he couldn’t help but exclaim, “It’s so soft.”
“Ayrin, you bastard, that is my belly!” Stingham’s annoyed voice rang out from below Ayrin.
“To think that we would fall into the midst of a battlefield, and that it would be the main one of the war.”
As Rinloran stood up from the mess of weeds and vegetation, he immediately felt the countless terrifying arcane energy fluctuations rippling all around him.
“Is there no way for me to prevent these plants from going nuts?! If it remains like this, then how will anyone be able to see my handsome self ever again?!” Stingham screamed as tears fell from his eyes.
“This reaction is caused by your arcane energy fluctuations. It should stop as long as you compose yourself and control your arcane particles,” Lotton replied.
“Really?” Stingham immediately controlled the arcane particles in his body. Indeed, the moment he regained control, the plants around him immediately stopped growing.
Zap!
At this same moment, a loud crack sounded as an arcane master tore through the sky above them.
