"Well, it is going to be tougher than I had expected," I said as I looked at the scene ahead of me.
I had just opened the door and looked at all the broken formations. The chaos had calmed, but the formations had changed their places, which means now, the earlier route is useless.
I will have to forge a new one to get out of here, and it would be extremely dangerous.
As not only was the broken formation of the area around the gate changed, but of the whole space, as far as I could see. The chaos had been far bigger than I had expected.
I feel scared just seeing it, but I am not without options.
It will not be the first time I will walk through the maze of broken formations. I have done it countless times, and I have devised a few methods.
I recorded it all, and my clones begin to study it.
A few minutes later, I took a deep breakthrough, and hundreds of tiny formations, like rose petals, moved from my hand.
These runes are made of my soul energy and the forbidden power. They will test many broken formations and find me a safe route through them.
The method is excellent, but not perfect. There will be a danger, but it is the risk I have to take.
Two minutes passed, and I released another badge of the resources, and a few minutes later, and then another. I released the runes seven times before; I am finished.
Now a route is flashing in front of me. Created by my clones, after studying the data.
I took a deep breath and walked toward it; my pace is not slow, but it is not fast either. If everything goes well then, I will reach safety in three and a half minutes.
Hun!
I had just taken a few steps when suddenly one formation moved toward me at a very fast speed.
Burst 100%
I activated the full power of the burst and moved at a quick speed, avoiding the formation by an inch before once again sealing my power.
I was relieved that no formation had been activated by my inheritance energy.
I had expected something like this might happen and made the preparations. They were quite simple; I had created a thick layer of forbidden power around me, which sealed any aura that might leak.
Even now, that thick layer of forbidden power is covering me and will be till I am safe.
A minute passed, and no broken formations have been activated. Though two more formations came attacking me. If I am not wrong, they are reacting to my presence.
I am isolating everything with the forbidden energy later, but these formations are too close and powerful.
I couldn't fool them with the forbidden power.
A few seconds passed and I could see what was left of the corrupted. They have been vaporized. Not a single drop of their blood or strand of hair had remained.
Everything had been vaporized, except for the artifacts. They are difficult to destroy.
I could see their storage rings and bands and I really want them. Those bastards were peak Sovereign, most importantly. They were corrupted.
The last corrupted I had met, have given me amazing things, and I am very sure, these two also have amazing things in their storages.
Regretfully, they are out of my range; enveloped in the broken formation. No matter how precious things are inside them, I am not going to touch them or even go close to them.
They are not for me.
Another minute passed, and in this minute, I have been lucky. I am only attacked once and now; I had reached the place where the corrupted had been resting.
I could even see a few bones of the people they ate; I don't know how these bones have survived.
I would have liked to take them and bury them, in respect of those unfortunate people, but they are very close to the broken formation, and I am not going to take the risk.
I feel bad leaving them as such, but it is the right decision. My survival is the most important.
Hun!
I did not stop and continued moving ahead, when suddenly. A formation bigger than shot toward me.
Burst 100%.
I activated my full power and retreated, avoiding the formation by a palm distance, but unlike previous times; the formation didn't stop being a danger, after avoiding me.
It clashed against a formation half of its size and its lighted and begin to shake unstably, which in turn affected the surrounding formations.
"Fuck!"
I cursed and moved. This time I didn't seal my power again and instead moved with its full might.
Things are becoming unstable, and I have to get out of here. Thankfully, with the speed I am moving, I will need less than five seconds, which didn't seem like a long time, but it is seeing how fast things are turning back.
A lot more formation had lit up, and some even started to release wild attacks.
One broken formation released a disk, which I was able to avoid by inches, but I would not be able to avoid all of them.
Puch!
I had just thought that a finger size formation came and pierced through my shoulder blades.
I grit my teeth in pain as it left something nasty about it, but did not stop and kept moving toward the last door, which seemed to be repelling everything that came in their way.
"Fuck!"
I cursed when I saw some of the broken formations on the planned route had changed. Seeing that, I have moved toward the next safest route that is still intact.
My clones had not mapped only one route, but several of them.
I had asked to do that. As I knew, the journey wouldn't be safe, and I need to be as prepared as I could to reach my destination safely.
Puch!
I got hit again, but this time by an energy attack, which is burning the very bones it had struck.
Buzz Buzz Buzz!
More than ten formations activated one after another and poured their energy into my body, which is painful and harmful, but it clashed against the energy, that is burning my bone and stopping barely.
I didn't stop moving; only started flying instead of running because of the new injury on my leg.
It increased my speed faster, and I moved toward it, before crossing through it one and a half seconds later.
I moment I crossed the gate; I stopped.
It is not safe to go behind the gate, but I have more important things to worry about. The bone-burning energy is burning the energies that I released at it and begins to move forward again.
I have to stop it before it took my leg and my life.
My clones are trying, and I joined them and throw the resources at formation. It didn't matter how precious they were. If I think they could help me, I throw them at the formation.
I could get the resources again, but not my life.
