The Primordial Record novel Chapter 1052

Chapter 1052 Stone Reach

Two Ascendant Explorers were fleeing, their speeds of movements were so quick it was almost as if time had been frozen in place, because nothing around them was moving, even the molecules in the air were frozen in place, and if not for a green flame covering the two Ascendants that pushed away the frozen particles in their paths aside, then every motion of their bodies would be like a nuclear explosion going off, but this protective green flame was slowly dying out.

Their bodies which seemed to be made from black smoke left long trails behind, but their form appeared shaky and on the edge of dissipation as if both Ascendants had suffered grievous damages to their bodies.

This was when the true reality of their situation was revealed, their speeds were ridiculously fast, that was true, but the reality they were traveling past had been frozen in time, and their only protection against this time stop effect was the rapidly vanishing green flames covering their bodies.

One of the Ascendants noticing the rapidly fading flames, sighed and spoke loudly, breaking the silence that had been their companion all this while as they fled,

"We won't make it. The fort is gone, and the Blight has overtaken us."

"Yes, we won't make it, but it does not matter if we don't make it, from here we should be able to transfer the data about the spread of the Time Blight. Give me your flames, I shall complete the process. I shall send a small packet of information across to the Council, the flames should be able to protect such a minor amount of data until it escapes this zone." _{freewebnσvel.cøm}

There was a slight pause before the first Explorer nodded, and touched the second Ascendant passing the remnants of his flames over to him without any hesitation even though he knew he was condemning himself to a date worse than death, and immediately he was frozen in place.

The second Ascendant looked at his brethren for a short while before he began to gather his flames also in a large green orb and a bright blue mist emerged from his smoky eyes and fused to the green flames, about to launch it, he felt a chill crawl past his spine, and his body turned involuntary to beheld the creature that had appeared behind him.

It took the form of a Deific Explorer, with hands spread outwards as if crucified, from his body, came a flood of blood and pus, black smoke, and dead snakes. From his thin chest came an unending sound of laughter.

Every Ascendant knew the form of Noah Rithmast, the originator of the Time Blight that had swallowed ten million continents, placing everything, both Ascendant and Calamity in a zone of null time, yet the sounds of anguish from countless multitudes resounded from the bodies.

The Ascendant knew he would not survive this encounter with this unknown terror, but not backing down he pushed his arms upward to launch the ball of green flames carrying the message that the Time Blight was beginning to spread once again, and its originator was on the move once again, the higher Ascendants would need to interfere before more of the world was lost.
