Chapter 23 - A Strange Place (2/2)

Short Teleportation: Teleport to short distance]

Varian read the description and decided to test out his neers

He equipped hiauntlet on left hand He channeled the space power and focused it on his right hand

He felt soht hand It was like his hand was in a sticky liquid He needed to exert htly punched at his right hand with his left

"Krr"

Varian felt an unusual resistance when his fist was about to punch his hand It was like he was punching in the water, but the water was much viscous

"Click"

His fist connected with his hand, and the dath, there should at least be a minor fracture

'As expected'

Varian reht hand It felt like there was a layer of invisibleforward

He pushed through this invisible barrier and finally touched his hand

'So space binding ives defense That means I can add a layer of protection to any part of the body'

He figured out the pros of the skill Then came the cons

'But I can't move my hand freely when I space bind it But all the space Awakeners I've seen in battles move freely So this must be a problem that will be solved if I advance' He concluded

'What if I use this on other objects?' he channeled the "space power" to the gauntlet he wore on his left hand

Varian tried to touch the gauntlet and had the saauntlet solidified, preventing hi?" Kyle's voice sounded frohts

Varian waved his hands "Just an experiment I'll tell you later"

He didn't want Kyle to know, for his own good Varian didn't think kyle would leak his secret But secrets are best kept buried

'Maybe if I grow strong one day' Varian thought

"Where are we?"

"I don't know But somewhere temporarily safe Now that you're awake, let's find a way out" Varian urged

The only reason he didn't venture carrying kyle was if they encountered an Abyssal, an unconscious kyle would be in fatal danger

"Good" Kyle nodded, and they exited the room sneakily

Varian and Kyle tip toed in the corridor The walls were inscribed with murals The buddies found, to their surprise and horror, that these murals were the depictions of humanity's history since the blink

The corridor had divergences, halls, and… labs Despite a conservative estimate, Varian counted at least two hundred skeletons Kyle counted another three hundred

Connecting the dots, Varian came to one conclusion

'We are inside the hill This is secret facility of sorts Is it just for research?'

They continued to walk in deliberate silence They passed through various eht… tremor

Then…

"Run!" despite the fact that he ht alert the Abyssals in this structure, Varian yelled

Kyle and Varian ran down the corridor, trying to find an exit to the outside world, to the city

"Boo started to collapse, and the duo had to dodge the debris

"Boo to filter the noise He had been trying to find an exit

"There!" he signalled and dashed to the left

He heard the "flow" of wind Taking left and then right, Varian saw an exit It was a small exit, and the outside was at the bottom of the hill

"Boom!"

They had no time He knew it But at least they can make it

"Humans!" At the worst possible ti at him His speed was faster than Varian and he'd catch up before either of them could exit That meant they'd both be trapped here

Varian looked at kyle and yelled "Go! I'll co back, he continued, "If you stay, you'll be a burden Now get out!"

Kyle looked at Varian rushi+ng to the Abyssal and muttered "I'll save you one day" He rushed to the exit and through the falling debris, he juh of relief

"Boom!"

Debris completely covered the exit Since it wasit without spending a tonne of tiht be another exit' He glanced past the Abyssal and saw the trail of its green blood

'I can follow its path' He decided and dodged the Abyssal's attack He chased the green blood trail

The Abyssal Knight chased Varian but his injuries continued to take a toll on him and in a few minutes, Varian threw him off

"Boo debris and barely ed to find the end of the blood trail or, to be precise, where the Abyssal knight was injured

He saw a large chunk of adae?' Varian passed through the large adamantine block and peeked inside

"Hiss!"

Varian saw a huge room filled with Aura crystals In the center of the roohts

They were desperately protecting the altar and the aura crystals

'What are they protectingno, where is my exit?' Varian tried to find a way out but he realized he was in trouble

The Abyssals locked their eyes with him
