The Primordial Record novel Chapter 1030

1030 Revelation

Three long beams of white light emerged from the chestpiece of the Explorers, and with it, they began to peer around the gloom. The eyes of the Explorers closely followed the path of their light, and their demeanor went grim when they noticed that the grounds were mostly empty, it was the first male Explorer who saw the cause and he shakenly pointed his hands towards it,

"Wha….what is that?"

The two others saw his reaction and pointed their light beam towards the source and they all went pale with fear, staggering backward and nearly falling off the platform.

At this time they were a few hundred feet away from the bottom of the crater since the descent of the platform was never paused and the light revealed something out of a nightmare.

From the last census conducted inside the crater, there were 11,347 Shiiks inside the crater, and from what they could see, every single Shiik had compressed themselves into a large ball of flesh that was stacked nearly a thousand feet tall.

The sight was ghastly, as the ghastly and decaying faces of the Shiiks were all persons downwards and although their mouths were all opened wide, no single sound was escaping from them.

The panic of the Explorers soon diminished when they discovered that although the eyes of the Shiiks reacted when the light passed over them, they did not move from their weird position. They were Explorers and their mental resilience was greater than the average mortal, and soon they could look at the pile of monsters with a clear eye. "What is happening with these monsters? Have you ever seen anything like this or is there any record that shows the Shiiks behaving in this manner?" one of the male Explorers whispered, This question was directed towards the female Explorer who had shown competence in the area of research, "I have never come across anything like this," she shrugged, also replying in a whisper, "I have read about the evolution of the Shiik to the Heroic Rank, but it is nothing like this. How could they compress themselves in this manner? Surely hundreds of Shiiks below would be crushed to death."

"I don't think they are worried about that," the male explorer who had been firmly against their descent into the crater moved back a bit, "We have seen what is happening here and we cannot understand it, we should leave and bring this information to the relevant authorities."

"You are right. We don't know how long they will stay this way. We have the recordings, begin the ascent." The female Explorer sighed and began the procedure for the ascent of the platform.

"did you notice that there are very few vitality-infused remains?" "I don't care if there are a lot of these remains, there are strange things going on in this place that we have no business dealing with. I suggest we…."

An absolutely unearthly shriek the likes that none of the Explorers could have ever imagined emerged from within the mound of Shiilks that seemed to freeze time itself.
