Chapter 2522 This Is It...
"Kentucky, Aelrie. We aren\'t going to fly at full speed anymore," Rean warned them. "We don\'t know what to expect, so we need to be careful. From now on, Kentucky and I will fly at one-tenth of our speed."
Kentucky couldn\'t be happier. "Great! This place is giving me the creeps more and more. Even if you didn\'t ask, I would have slowed down as well."
With that decided, they resumed their journey. The rubbles they were seeing weren\'t that many. There were just one or two pieces now and then, making them wonder where the construction of these rubbles came from.
Yet, days upon days passed, soon turning into over a week. They noticed that the number of rubble increased during this week, now finding four to six pieces now and then. Nonetheless, the constructions they were expecting to see were nowhere.
Finally, another week went by, and Rean began to wonder if asking Kentucky to slow down with him was a good idea. If things continued like that, perhaps they would spend months moving without any significant change.
However, that thought didn\'t last long. The very next day, Kentucky approached the Chasm, which was the signal for a conversation. They found a point in common before Kentucky used his Divine Energy to talk. "Rean, I was watching the distance from high in the skies. I can barely see several constructions in the distance."
Rean sighed in relief. "Finally... So, what else did you see?" Rean knew that Kentucky\'s eyes were much better. That\'s why he hasn\'t noticed anything yet.
"Sorry, that\'s as far as I can tell. I immediately called you to talk when I noticed it. However..." Kentucky looked in Rean\'s side. "It seemed like the constructions also extended to your side of the Chasm, so you should be able to see them soon."
Rean nodded. "Aelrie, can you feel anything?"
"No," Aelrie shook her head.
"Then let\'s continue," Rean didn\'t mind. "Also, the Chasm\'s Spatial Power has been decreasing quite fast in the past few days. Keep an eye for an opportunity to cross from one side to another."
"Alright," Aelrie and Kentucky nodded.
Their group continued flying at the same speed. Sometime later, Rean and Aelrie also spotted the constructions far in the distance. It was hard to identify them, but they were getting there. As for Kentucky, he was able to see even better now. He confirmed to everyone that most of the buildings they were seeing were hundreds of stores high. Not only that but they were supposed to be even higher. Yet, they were all destroyed. No doubt all the rubbles they have seen so far came from that ruined place.
At some point, they also noticed a huge wall. It wasn\'t as high as the broken buildings they initially saw, with some definitely over a thousand meters high, but it was at least half a kilometer tall. That wall then extended to both sides, going as far as their eyes could see.
Another point to take notice of was the ground between where they were and the wall far in the distance. There were some gigantic holes of several kilometers in size, covering all the distance. However, so much time seemed to have passed that those holes were quite smooth by now, being the effect of countless years of erosion.
At the same time, the Chasm\'s Spatial Chaos was also reduced. Thanks to that, Rean, Kentucky, and Aelrie could now talk without having to find a place close enough for their voices to go through. And if things continued like that, Kentucky or Rean would indeed be able to cross to the other side.
As they looked at the wall in the distance, Kentucky was able to notice a small curvature. "It doesn\'t seem to continue forever. However, this ruins, city, or whatever is ridiculously big. I doubt it loses to the biggest cities in the Realm of Gods," he commented.
*Argh!*
Suddenly, Aelrie put her hand on her head, feeling a pain piercing her Soul.
Kentucky narrowed his eyes as he noticed something also piercing through his Divine Energy barrier, the same barrier he was using to keep Aelrie in place. He then immediately tightened his grip of Divine Energy around Aelrie. That way, she wouldn\'t be able to struggle even if she wanted to. "Aelrie, are you okay?"
Aelire nodded while still holding her hand at her head. "Just now... something seemed to try to enter my head. However, I was able to fight it back even though it truly hit me hard."
Kentucky nodded, but he kept his Divine Energy around Aelrie going strong. After all, something seemed to be able to control her back in the Altar event, so who could this is truly Aelrie talking or something else trying to get free from his grasp. "I see..."
Kentucky then looked at Rean on the other side. "Rean, just now, I felt something hitting my Divine Energy barrier right where Aelrie\'s head is located. I couldn\'t stop whatever it was, but I managed to weaken it a lot. Alerie seemed to be able to depend on her own after that."
"Something?" Rean asked. "Can you describe? Was it Soul Power?"
Kentucky shook his head. "I don\'t know. I wasn\'t expecting anything to hit my barrier in such a weird way, and it only lasted a split second. I couldn\'t really pay attention to what it was."
"What about you, Aelrie?" Rean asked the victim herself.
"I think it was Soul Power... but it was very, very different from all the Soul Power I felt in my life. If not because there were a few similarities, I wouldn\'t be able to tell," Aelrie explained. "I think this is it..."
