109 Rewards Rough Draft experiment Revision 2 (2/2)

Once he approached Hartley exited his own spatial crack engaged his time domain and with the assistance of his modified spiral circulation technique Hartley managed to splice his way into the Chang Lee's unstable spatial crack.

Once he merged with Chang Lee's spatial crack he could see the chaotic black energy roiling and raging on the interior mesh like walls, Chang Lee and the commander were up ahead but had yet to discover his intrusion. Hartley chose one of the flawed and unstable spots in the spatial crack andthen struck out a punch which made the space inside the crack rumble as the black energy started to behave unstable and erratic.

Hartley immediately exited the spatial crack and a second later there was an almighty explosion of black ink-like energy that rented the airand two screaming people were shot out of the void....

After experiencing the horrendous backlash of a ruptured spatial crack commander Haiyuan was flung out into a a thick forested area missing his left hand from the elbow down spewing a trail of blood as he landed and rolled like a rag doll..

Chang Lee managed to keep all his limbs but he was cannoned into the side of a hill and rebounded rolling down the hill and into the abyss of foliage at the bottom coughing up a large amount of blood..

A few minutes later, soaking wet and covered in blood and dirt Chang Leegathered his wits as he recovered from his pain and shock a little and looked around frantically tryingto locate commander Haiyuan in the vicinity, with no sight of the commander he began anxiously shouting out the commander's name.

After a short moment he heard the wailing screams of the commander at the top of the hill and was about to make his way there, he had staggered forward for a few steps when suddenly he saw thethe youth appearing like a specter from hell which sent fright down his spine.

He abandoned his quest to rescue the commander and decided to safeguard his own life, even if he initiated a battle with the youth in hopes of rescuing the commander he knew it would be a battle he couldn't hope to win in his current state, heck, even at his peak he didn't think he could compete with the youth..

As a man of few words, the image of the youth had etched a frightening entity into his mind that could only be described by one word ”monster.” The things he had seen during this day would stay with him for life, the youth had disposed of Kan Jin who was being touted as the next saint in Sasko without taking any injuries, not even a scratch.

Chang Lee disappeared in a flash of black energy, in his weakened state he wasn't even sure how far he could make it through another spatial crack immediately after suffering a backlashbut he didn't care, any distance he could put between himself and the youth was a blessing.

Hartley saw this and didn't give chase, instead he headed to the top of the hill where the commander's screams and the smell of his leaking blood were capturing the attention of the many fierce beasts prowling the area.....

Commander Haiyuan was trapped in dense undergrowthsurrounded by a grove of thick, tall treesbleeding and wailing trying to pull himself together, his three remaining limbs felt as though every ounce of energy was sucked out of them, he was obviously suffering the backlash of the spatial crack as he barfed up a mouth of blood.

Hartley spotted the commander as he came to an area with sturdy trees shooting towards the sky, the sound of the rain was amplified by the broad green leaves of the trees as he approached carefully guarding against any possible sneak attacks, he heard the growls of a massive ape-like creature twenty meters away on the other side of the commander.

The volume of the grating growls of the animal increased when it spotted Hartley moving towards the commander as if the animal was warning Hartley and the other fierce beasts headed their way to not dare think of deprivingit of an easy meal.

it closed in on the commander, its long arms thudded in the soill as its short legs swung forward. The beast had thick glossy silver fur soaked by the rain.

The weakened commander Haiyuan spun his head around to see the sight of the beast and he screams somehow got louder, he then spotted the youth on the opposite side of the undergrowth..

At this point he had to pick his poison but who would want to end up the belly of a beast? ”Help me,” he appealed to Hartley with wild eyes. ”Help me, I've got information your prince could use, bring me back and I will tell all.”

When he saw Hartley still standing at the same spot the commander started to speak quickly, ”The count discovered a mine even more valuable than the gemstone mines, that's why we wanted to take over the country if you help me I can tell you where it is. Just help me!”
