Chapter 110: Falling into the Endless Void
Luna’s POV:
I felt the wind crashing against my face. Consequently, my hair was blowing back and forth, which to me, was truly annoying.
But that didn’t bother me in the least. My attention and concentration were drawn away by the constant questions that were tormenting my mind.
But, finally, I decided to give those questions a STOP, erasing any insecurity from my mind with my willpower alone. My concentration and attention were fixed on only one thing: to get out of here stronger and, above all, alive.
Darkness surrounded my body, but I didn’t care. Certainly, I am afraid, very afraid, but will fear lead me to anything?
That question I always asked myself every day, fear will never lead me to anything. And even though this is quite dangerous, even suicidal, the risk-taker doesn’t win, right?
‘It’s already been several seconds since I’ve been falling,’ I thought.
I had been counting every second since I jumped and so far, I hadn’t stopped counting.
But, considering that I had already been falling for a considerable amount of time, and since I couldn’t see in the slightest. I decided to spend some of my mana and make some shadow wings.
‘I’ll test my shadow vision now’.
Gathering Mana in my eyes, my eyes turned completely black and dark, but fortunately, my spell activated… But not in the way I wished.
All I managed to see was shadows and shadows, darkness and more darkness, almost in an endless loop.
Without knowing it, I swallowed saliva, and my nervousness increased again, but still, I deactivated my spell, not wanting to spend more mana than necessary.
Thanks to my wings, my fall was softer and slower. It’s not that I wanted to stay here, but I also didn’t want to hurt him by a bad fall. So flying gently is the best option.
I stayed like this for several more seconds, each one counted by me, until I reached one minute, then several minutes, and … An hour.
Yes, I had been here, trapped in a hole full of darkness for over an hour.
I wasn’t even scared anymore or nervous; being for more than an hour in this place made me get used to it.
‘I have the Mana Theos gave me, I can still get back if I use it,’ I thought, calculating the Mana I had left with the Mana Theos gave me.
*boom*
But before I rephrased my plan to flee from here, another explosion rang out, so loud it almost ruptured my eardrums.
But thanks to that, he could see more clearly… A bright purple light, pulsating with each explosion.
Looking at my surroundings, I also realized that the explosion was so big that it made the cracks even deeper, minimally letting out the sunlight.
However, my 100% attention was directed to the purple light at the bottom, I didn’t know if that light was a possible end to this hole. But it had to be tried.
“We go all out” I muttered, gathering all of me, I propelled my body with my wings.
I flew so fast I was like an almost blur; my speed reminded me of Theos the first time I met him and saw him fight. Unfortunately, I had not yet reached that speed.
Even so, that did not impede my continuing my efforts, even using some of the negative mana that Theos had given me.
I was going all out towards the purple light, which little by little, each time, was getting bigger and bigger. In fact, not only was it getting bigger and bigger, but… It was gigantic.
It was not 5 meters or 10 meters, but… The light covered the whole hole, and I had the feeling that the closer I got to the purple light, the wider the space to fly became.
As if the hole got bigger as I got closer, but narrower if I moved away.
It was a weird feeling, maybe spending more than an hour here, alone, with no one to talk to but myself, and the darkness fucked with my head? Am I that mentally weak?
I didn’t know, not that I wanted to know now.
My speed reached heights I never considered possible for me to achieve… There was also a merit in gravity, as I was plummeting, my speed was even greater because of that.
Every second that passed, I felt I was getting closer and closer to that purple light… Until my vision again turned completely dark and black.
“Eh?” I couldn’t understand this sudden change.
I quickly stopped my flight, being hovering in the air, suspended in the air.
‘What just happened,’ I wondered inwardly.
I had been so close to that light, that light that was possibly the object or there was something related to it… Why, why did the light suddenly disappear just like that out of nowhere? I could not understand.
However, I felt something on my feet, my feet that had not had contact with anything for more than an hour …
It is the ground; I had touched the earth.
I quickly bent down, touching the earth and the ground that my feet felt. Indeed, my hands also confirmed that it was real; I had finally landed on the ground.
Why was it so sudden? I didn’t even realize it, but that didn’t matter, I had finally reached the end of the hole.
The next step was to look for the object, possibly because we both have something in common: shadows, but I felt a stronger connection now, I felt the object quite close to where I was.
I walked. After spending more than an hour falling and flying, the best option is to walk to activate the muscles in my legs and feet. In addition to saving the mana.
My walk was slow, I could see absolutely nothing, so the best option was to take my time.
I didn’t want to rush and suddenly, without realizing it, fall into another hole that had no bottom.
“New fear, unlocked,” I muttered to myself, searching through the dirt and soil for the object I’d been looking for.
The intense search made me let my guard down. I hadn’t remembered, but there are humans here too, and according to Theos’ words, they are humans who have searched for Treasures in this real world, and being here so long, they become corrupted and mad.
I had forgotten just that, just one thing.
But that alone took me to the limbo of life and death.
