Chapter 258: Abyss (1/2)

Swoosh!

BOOM!

Just as Seth used the Shadow Walk to instantly move away from that area, a big and heavy crystal figure descended with full force at the place he was previously standing, completely destroying everything.

Seth was getting out of Mana from using his Shadow Walk skill too many times in a row already. He had battled against two powerful enemies prior to this and his Mana was already partially spent. Now, he was feeling like he was getting closer and closer to a dead end.

He kept running away with everything he got, until he suddenly felt an uncommon aura in a certain area.

At that moment, he noticed that some thousand meters ahead of him, there was an area where a gloomy and dark energy existed, but it wasn't an energy compatible with darkness, but something more sinister. Other than that, there was a smothering silence around there and the looming sensation of danger that made Seth think twice if he really wanted to go there even though he was running for his life.

Seth quickly used his Soul Sense to identify what was actually laying ahead of his path, but he instantly got shocked. Just a single second after he used his Soul Sense, he felt it was totally blocked by something. His Soul Sense wasn't able to penetrate that area and reveal its secrets for him to see.

The fact that his supreme scan skill wasn't able to see anything, brought him some uncertainties. However, behind him, there were no uncertainties, but certain death!

”There isn't a choice...”

”There is! Drop her down and leave!” Lexi's voice urged him to take the most correct path for his survival, but Seth didn't think about doing that even for a brief moment.

”I won't!”

”Then you're going to die and drag me along with you! Why do you have to act like that? You're not only living for yourself!”

”I'm sorry Lexi, for putting you in this situation... But I will never abandon her behind. I'm going to survive; we all are going to survive!”

He kept running forwards, totally concentrated on finding a path to escape, until he suddenly felt he had arrived at that different place and was finally able to completely see the scenery. There was an abysmal crater lying ahead of his path, covering an area that was more than a hundred kilometers wide.

Actually, it was not a crater, but an endless abyss, where no one was able to see the ground, just an everlasting darkness that covered the whole field of view. Seth instantly stopped moving forwards while at the same time, he started to remember Lan Xue's words. That place was not safe and he needed to find another route. Even the air there seemed gloomier, making him feel threatened.

But suddenly, he heard a ripping noise of something cutting the air at full speed. Not even thinking twice before acting, Seth once again teleported with Lan Xue while using his movement skill, avoiding a huge crystal shard that would have killed them instantly.

However, the distance he was able to cover now, was not even two hundred meters. His Mana was getting thinner at every passing second, but that was the smallest of his problems, because just as he appeared, there was already a gigantic from descending towards his way.

The red crystal golem descended like a crimson star, fully charged with an explosive layer of Mana, that threatened to destroy Seth and Lan Xue.

”Shrouding Light!”

Seth casted his dark defensive ability, creating a veil of shadows that didn't even let light penetrate. But instead of staying inside the darkness cocoon, he immediately left it while holding Lan Xue and using that cocoon of darkness as a decoy.

Seth chose to jump into the air, since he would be less affected by the energy wave from his enemy's incoming ground attack there.
