Chapter 2233 Increased Danger
Chapter 2233 Increased Danger
As Rean asked Kentucky to move direction constantly, they continued moving forward.
Luan always warned Jeskli about Spatial Rifts closing onto them, which Jeskli easily defended against. Even without Luan’s help, he would still be able to protect everyone. Nonetheless, he was satisfied to be able to save energy by knowing when they were coming through Luan’s eyes.
“What?!” Suddenly, Luan was taken aback. “Hundreds of them!”
Jeskli narrowed his eyes and immediately thickened his Spatial Bubble.
*Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang…*
Many of those Spatial Rift missed them, but a lot also hit them straight on. Nonetheless, Jeskli blocked and closed every single one of them. It’s just that doing that so many times in a roll began to drain his own energy. “It’s fine for now, but I won’t be able to keep this for a long period of time.”
“It’s time,” Luan mentioned as he could predict it through the interaction Time Powr had with the Space he could see in his eyes. “The time around us is still quite messy, but it is also accelerating the generation of Spatial Rift. It’s incredible how Space and Time are so closely related.”
Yet, that didn’t last for long. A minute or so later, the Spatial Rifts crashing against Jeskli’s Spatial Bubble returned to normal. “Are we out of the area of danger?”
Luan nodded. “Yes, it seems like so.”
Yet, Rean shook his head. “It’s not that simple. You know how messy Space and Time laws are here. We are entering and leaving pockets of Spatial and Time Power messed up in different ways. We will most likely enter many more of these areas. No, to be more specific, we don’t even need to enter them. They can simply appear around us since the environment changes nonstop even if we stay still.”
Luan and Jeskli nodded. “We will do what we can.”
Lily, who had been just following them until now, couldn’t help but say. “Perhaps it will be better to go back. If we bring more Space-Time Minokawas or wait for senior Fifi-Li and Klovis-Bu to return, it will be a lot safer.”
“Are they also Divinity Realm Minokawas?” Kentucky asked her.
Lily nodded. “Yes. Together with senior Jeskli, they are the three Divinity Realm Minokawas our race posses at the moment. They are both working with the Demon Beasts in the war against the Devils.”
Kentucky then glanced at Jeskli. “Let me guess, you were the lucky one who was tasked to stay and protect the Floating Islands of Time while the other two cursed while going out.”
“Hahaha!” Jeskli laughed. “I’ve always been quite lucky, and so I was during the time we decided who should go or stay. Naturally, all three of us wanted to stay and do nothing, but I was the winner.”
Roan coldly smiled. “I wonder who was really the winner in the end. We don’t know what will happen further in, you know?”
Jeskli’s smile disappeared after hearing Roan’s words. “Well, I’m curious about my own territory, so I guess it is still worth the effort.”
Lily felt like she was forgotten. “Hey, do you still remember what I asked?”
Jeskli then looked at her. “We can’t go back. If we wait for the time Fifi-Li and Klovis-Bu are back, that means the war is over. At that time, we will once again have a lot of eyes watching over the Floating Islands of Time. Forget about Kentucky. Now that we know there is a way to enter the Central Area, we won’t be the only ones interested in what is inside. We need to go there now.”
*Bang!*
Another Spatial Rift hit Jeskli’s Spatial Bubble, just to be closed right after. “Besides, if this is the level of danger, then it is not a danger at all.”
However, Lian’s mouth twitched a little. “You just had to jinx it…”
This time, Jeskli didn’t even need Luan to point out the direction. That’s because the Spatial Rift coming in their direction carried so much more power that even Jeskli could feel it before hitting his Spatial Bubble. “Shit!”
*BOOM!*
Jeskli held tight to everyone’s bodies while keeping his Spatial Bubble active. Yet, the impact was so big that a Spatial Rift big enough to swallow several islands took form. As a result, their group was sent flying like a cannonball.
That didn’t last more than a split second, though. The Spatial Rift obviously tried to swallow everything around it, including their group.
“Don’t overestimate yourself!” Jeskli immediately burst with even more Spatial and also Time Power. The swallowing strength quickly reduced in speed as Jeskli used his Spatial Laws at a faster speed. Finally, the gigantic Spatial Rift began to close. It still took Jeskli around ten seconds to completely make it disappear, but he held on in the end.
*Gaps, gasp…*
Jeskli’s Spatial Bubble then became quite frail as Jeskli gasped for air. “Holy shit! *Gasp* That was scary…” He then looked at Kentucky and remembered what he said about the entire Floating Islands of Time being swallowed by a Spatial Rift. “This kind of Spatial Rift is not normal. If our territory had this thing since its creation, there would be no floating islands in this central place anymore.”
Kentucky nodded. “I told you, something is not right. We don’t know what it is, but we reached a conclusion the Floating Islands of Time might be swallowed by a Spatial Rift if things continue like this. It’s not only the central area but the entire territory.”
Jeskli couldn’t help but think about just how powerful a Spatial Rift had to be to swallow the entire territory. That’s definitely not something he could defend against with his power. No one could. “Do you believe the reason for that is inside?”
Rean and Roan nodded. “From what we can tell, it should be. We don’t know what we will find inside, though.” Well, they knew they would find a fragment, but not what was causing it to be removed from there.
