Scattered all across the battlefield were the shattered pieces of the bodies of the Ouroboros Serpents. The implosion that ripped them apart, had sucked almost ninety-five percent of their body mass away.
If it were not for the constant influx of energy by the other two Ouroboros Serpents relentlessly feeding on the Calamity God below, then the fragile avatars of the Serpents would have been thoroughly destroyed.
Despite this fact, the Ascendant could have been the one to win this battle, with the bodies of four of the serpents all but destroyed, they could have been easily contained, and with the dangerous nature of the present battlefield, they would have fled this place with their price, these serpents would be taken apart and understood, their powers suppressed, controlled and of possible, duplicated, but the scales once more tipped away from their favor, for a deluge of Purified Aura slammed into the earth, and sank deeply into the body of the Calamity God.
The ends of the Ouroboros Serpents never left the flesh of the Calamity God, and despite the terrifying battle ongoing, the serpents had never revealed more than twenty percent of their entire length. They were just too massive, and unlike their normal bodies, these stone flesh could not accurately channel the impressive powers of their bodies, but that was all about to change.
"These creatures are not dead." An Ascendant Explorer watched in fascination as the rocks on the ground began to vibrate, "Take what we can contain, and let's leave. This site deserves to be treated with utmost importance and priority."
He pointed at the seemingly unending flood of Purified Aura entering the ground, "Look at all this Aura, our battle may have shattered nearby continents, but the amount reaching this place is almost as if ten thousand continents were destroyed. This is the final proof we need."
Even as thy Ascendant Explorer was speaking, they were already making motions with their gaseous bodies, linking up with the ship and readying the containment unit that would ferry the pieces of the serpents they could gather."
In a part of the battlefield that was not yet within the gaze of the Ascendant, a piece of rock which turned out to be a broken piece of an Ouroboros Serpent's eye saw what was transpiring, and its cold gaze was replaced by cunning. Scattered around the battlefield, four small pieces of rock in the shape of a heart began to glow. This caught the attention of the Ascendants. Gathering the parts of the serpents left was ultimately a result of them failing their mission and wanting to flee this place with something to show for it.
As far as they could tell the entire bodies of the stone serpents were still deep inside the flesh of the Calamity God and without enough of it, they would never be able to duplicate the ability to purify Chaotic Aura that these serpents had shown.
The presence that suddenly erupted from these glowing pieces drew their attention, and they did not even need to deliberate among themselves before they shot towards the pieces, all of them separating to claim them.
This could be the central core of the serpents or if not, it was important enough that leaving with it could change the direction of this conflict, and they would not be leaving without tangible results after losing an Ascendant to this mission.
The stone flesh that they discarded, chasing after the glowing hearts began to bleed. One golden drop at a time. The greatest volume of blood emerged from the eye, and this blood, apparently having a mind of its own, began to pool together, but all these changes were hidden. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
