Chapter 342 Our Mayhem [Part 2]

"What do you mean?" Northern inquired, eyes darting around the darkness.

"This darkness, doesn't it feel familiar to you?"

Northern was silent for a short second, then a dark grimace creased his brows.

She was right.

'The tunnel...'

The darkness in the tunnel which he needed to help Raven pass felt alive. They felt thicker than usual darkness.

This one too, everything was totally obstructed, which made it impossible for anyone to see the way forward. It was like sight was taken away.

Not Northern though, it was a bit stressful and his sight distance was short but he still could see.

He decided to shift his point of view and enter into the sight specialty of Chaos Eyes.

Peering into the ligatures of the darkness.

Unlike Northern expected, there were no ligatures. Everything was pitch black.

Northern stayed in his head thinking for a while.

'No ligatures? What could it be? What could it be?'

Only one answer came to mind.

The fact that the darkness had no ligatures meant it wasn't real. Because even real darkness and light have ligatures.

So most likely... this darkness and the one in the cave...

"It's an illusion..." he announced grimly.

Raven's voice found him immediately.

"How are you so sure about that?"

"Well, my eyes are special enough to tell."

Northern crouched and jumped off the stone pillar he was on, landing on another.

"We need to leave here before it shows up. Whatever this your mayhem is..."

Northern suddenly felt a strong force crash on him from behind.

Of course, the attack did not reach him, but it carried so much power that it caused him to lose balance.

Northern faltered his steps with Raven in his hand and tripped down.

It was a branch. Majority of its farther bodies had blended with the darkness so it was hard to see them, they also had stretched from a very far place.

Northern extended one finger and muttered:

"Chaos Flames."

Either Chaos Flames, or Black Flames, the black ominous fire knew to respond anytime he called upon it.

From the point edge of the branch, the black flame surged forth like a river of plague, running along the trail of branches and enveloping everything in vicious plumes of flames.

Immediately, a loud, sky-shattering scream pierced the heavens, causing tremors to run even through the floating pillars.

They all seemed to stagger down for a moment, as if the force that kept them floating had completely disappeared.

But it was only for a single second. In that second however, Northern, using Shunpo, had appeared at the farthest stone his eyes could see.

Now, the mountain at the end came into view and only two pillars of stones were in their way.

Northern instantaneously disappeared, and as he appeared right on the mountain, another force much stronger than the last, hit him.

Of course the attack did not get through. But the shockwave was enough to send him and Raven careening through the air.

They crashed into a tree and slumped to the ground. Northern tried to stand but coughed up blood.

His hand trembled a little.

He looked at Raven, who seemed quite fine. She also slowly stood up.

The weird darkness had gone or to be accurate, it did not reach this side.

She helped Northern up and also looked up with a slight frown on her face.

The darkness was like a wall above, blocking that side from this side.

Northern heaved a sigh and also looked up.

He didn't know what that was...

'If ordinarily the force of its attack was able to make the force of my Limitless Void shake, just how crazy would getting hit by its attack be?'

Northern couldn't fathom.

Death was certain if one got struck by those branches.

"I'm glad we were able to escape it. Raven, we should go."

But Raven did not respond, she kept staring up, her eyes slowly narrowing.

"Raven, what is it?" Northern inquired.

She took a moment before she responded with a heavy tone.

"The darkness... It's spreading."
