Chapter 2326 - Run! The Glass globe disappeared, sucked by my runes that not a single trace of it has remained. Without the globe and burning fire inside it, the place looked even more barren but still as hot as before. There is no chance that I would be able to get my hands on those energy crystals; even a tiny piece of it would bring a lot of change to me, but it seemed like I could not obtain it even if it was so close to me. Hun! I was just thinking that when I saw the retreating primordial runes, they were seeping back inside me as they do; they are sucking up any heat in their path. A few seconds later, all the runes have come back inside me, and now I have a clear way toward those energy crystals. I took a step toward them before the heat began to fill up the way that the runes had sucked dry. I had just taken a step when I suddenly stopped with a great change on my face; I had sensed something which had scared me extremely. "Run!" I said in my mind and immediately activated the retreat formation I had created in my armor. If I went for a crystal, I am going to be in deep trouble. I have to get away from this place as soon as possible and get the hell away from this ruin before it is too late. Boom! The armor had sucked a huge amount of spatial energies from the feather and formed a thick protective cover of them around me, and just as the cover appeared, I shot back at incredible speed. As I moved back at sonic speed, I could feel the heat is tearing apart the spatial layer, but I could also see the heat is weakening the more distance I retreat, and according to my calculation, I would make it. Thud! I landed near the rift, and just as I did, I flew up with all my speed; I did not hold anything back at all. I used all my boosts and also used my pure internal energy to gain as much speed as I could. I have never flown this fast in my life, and I hate to admit it; I do not have complete control over this speed but thankfully. I do not need to have control; I only need to be as fast as I can to get as far away as possible before I can leave the ruin safely. The ruin looked the same; there is no change that could be seen in it, but for my spatially sensitive senses, the earth is spitting, and volcanos are bursting. This ruin is dead; it won't last more than an hour before it breaks into pieces. The globe of fire had become an integral part of this ruin in thousands of years, connected to the very fabric of this ruin, so when it suddenly disappeared, the ruin began to destabilize fast. I am currently trying to get away from the most affected space and move toward the most stabilized space where I will activate my beacon and get the hell away from this ruin. If I activated the beacon now, there is a very high chance that something would go extremely wrong due to spatial disturbance, and one of the things that could happen is that I could plunge into the cosmos, which is an extremely dangerous place that would kill me within minutes. Only those with the power of the Grand Lords could think about surviving there for a considerable time, and even they don't venture into the cosmos unless it is absolutely necessary. Three minutes have passed, and I am flying at my highest. If I had not run away for my life and was busy making the changes in the runic formation of the rock armor, I would have really enjoyed flying at such speed. Hun! Around seven minutes had passed when I noticed something very far, and just as I noticed it, it had noticed it me too and came at me, and its speed is five times faster than mine and would reach me in four seconds. "Fuck!" I had cursed loudly; I had been rapidly approaching the stable space even though the tiny fractures had begun to spread in this ruin; in ten or so minutes, I would have reached the space stable enough to activate my beacon, I could now forget about that. The thing that is coming toward me is the peak Grimm Grandmaster, a Grimm that is more famous than the Horseman and is powerful enough to have fought against the council member and survive. This bastard would finish me off in a second if it caught me. Still, I don't understand why this bastard was standing like an idiot before it had sensed me. With its power, it should have sensed the changes in space and would have run away, I would have if I had been in its place. Seeing it coming toward me, I had instantly made the decision to leave the run, no matter how dangerous it was, and thanked myself that I had made preparation for it the moment I sensed the changes in space. Buzz! I activated the formation I had created in the past few minutes; as it did, it had immediately sucked away all the spatial energy present in the feather and sent it into the runes, and just as that happened, I activated the beacon. Energy covered me, and I disappeared. The last thing in the ruin I saw was the angry face of the Grimm Monster, who was a few miles away from reaching me. "Ahhhhhhhhh!" I was breaking through the ruin when suddenly, I felt tens of spatial cracks tear through my armor before entering my body. Thankfully, it was failed to tear me apart, and I fell into the spatial tunnel, which is barely keeping itself stabilized. I kept myself conscious forcefully; it was an extreme struggle seeing what was happening in my body. Thud! It felt like hours before the spatial tunnel ended, and I was thrown into the familiar hall; seeing that a faint smile appeared on my face and I let go of my strained conscious. I have saved a lot of people, and now I hope they will save me. It would not be easy seeing what is happening inside me, but I hope they would be successful.. As them failing me means I would die, and I don't want to die, seeing the things I have accomplished in this mission.
