1008 Awakening Of Madness (10)

"Naviir!! Keep it tight, tight! You are straying from the path."

"Damn it, Naviir has lost half his head, Urhos, take his place, we cannot…"

"I am sorry, this is my last resurrection, I don't think I can.."

"We have crossed the halfway point, everything from this point gets harder, but we are nearly there, we are Explorers! We move…"

There was no need to wait for the corruption to kill him. Noah thought he was dying so fast already that dying from the corruption would be a blessing. The Deific Explorer encouraging the rest had been frozen, then diced before he was crushed to pieces, and somehow his voice still lasted long enough to encourage them all to push forward.

Although for a brief moment, every Deific Ranked Explorer here had seen the ocean of Purified Aura, and they had all understood the significance behind such a thing. For all the many reasons to die in this world, dying for something that could lead to the salvation of your entire world was near the top of the list.

They pushed forward even as their numbers began to drop, making sacrifices that would ensure that their Null Charges reached their destination. They blew past countless traps, and none of them hesitated even till the end.

They fell faster and faster, drawn by an implacable force, and even if they wanted to stop, they could not. Noah had been roaring his defiance since the moment he fell, and alongside him, every Explorer did the same, they roared, and they died, but they never stopped jumping back into the Abyss.

Madness? Maybe, but they were Explorers.

Noah had died three times already and for the fifteen hundred Deific Rank Explorers that began the journey of laying down Null Charges, there were barely sixty of them left. The dangers as they fell deeper into the earth did not reduce but increased with every mile that passed.

They had penetrated hundreds of miles into the earth, and the Null Charges they had dropped along the way had nearly reached a million, the effects of so many Null Charges were beginning to spread ahead of them, clearing everything along their path for miles, making the passage safe from any anomaly, either spatial or otherwise.

Behind them blazed with red, the light from the Null Charges made the passage behind them appear like the insides of a throat and they were falling in its gullet.

The Explorers were a few miles away from the bottom, which in their Aura Senses appeared gray.

"We are nearly at the end, I don't see anything, are you sure that the treasure is below?" An Explorer whom Noah did not know his name called out.
