The Primordial Record novel Chapter 1211

Chapter 1211 What Lies Below

It took several hours of excruciating rounds of hide and seek with various close shaves with death, as the remaining four Ascendants dodged the forests of tentacles until the opportunity for escape came once more.

In the months they had stayed in this maze of darkness they had learned to adapt their movements and reaction to this place, throwing out everything they knew about Calamity gods and relearning how to survive.

This was a terrifying concept because, after millions of years of endless battle, the capabilities of Calamity were documented and understood, nothing in all of history could explain this number and the weird nature of this darkness that had imprisoned them, plus the clear sign of intelligence that had lured the Ascendants into this place.

They needed to escape, this was bigger than them all, and if the Ascendants were not warned of what was coming, they would not understand that the world was already lost.

Ascendant Verana took the risk and whispered to the three Ascendants beside him, "We are at the final stretch of this journey, and we shall make it out alive. Everyone needs to understand that this war has changed. Be steadfast and aim for the light, none of us would have made it to this point without each other, and we shall make it out of here together."

The tired bodies of the last three Ascendants straightened, they had sacrificed a lot to reach this point, many of them giving their lives so the Ascendant Verana their leader could survive as long as possible because they believed in his leadership and visions, and in times like this, there was no better option to give them faith.

Now that Ascendant Verana was watching for it, he was the first to observe the changes, and without hesitation, he manifested three more arms, drew a rune on the other three Ascendants, and injected it with three percent of his Core Aura, with their frayed nerves the three Ascendants discovered his actions a little too late and their bodies were unwittingly launched to three different directions while burning with intense light and repulsive force. _{fɾēewebnσveℓ.com}

Their cries of rage and despair were swallowed by the excited shrieks of the Calamity gods and Verana used the opportunity to disperse the last of his Aura around himself and launched himself towards where he thought his salvation lay using only his physical abilities.

He tried not to consider the fact that if that was the truth, then he was the best candidate to create that diversion, since he was the strongest but not necessarily the fastest, and he could have become the bait and allowed the Ascendants three chances to make it out of here alive.

Ascendant Verana knew this was the only way to escape this place, it was a fool's hope to think that the Calamity gods wouldn't be defending the outlet of this crater with everything they had, and the only way anyone was making it out was if there would be a diversion.

He tried not to consider the fact that if that was the truth, then he was the best candidate to create that diversion, since he was the strongest but not necessarily the fastest, and he could have become the bait and allowed the Ascendants three chances to make it out of here alive.

Ascendant Verana believed that he would survive and the sacrifice of the rest, was a normal part of war.

With the majority of the Calamity gods' tentacles reaching for the three bright lights, Verana made great progress flying past the massive bodies of the Calamity gods, until he reached a barrier and his wispy heart shivered in excitement.

If he was correct and the Ascendant Sun was currently overhead then even if he drew attention now and went all out in breaking this barrier, the Calamity gods would not be able to follow.
