Death… And Me

Chapter 2702  Bring It Down!

Rean and Roan continued to work on the ceiling. This was a delicate formation and delicate runes. However, just a single rune wouldnʼt be enough. Kafan and Rean would need access to at least a few tens of them.

Fortunately, they had already opened a hole in the ceiling, so they only needed to work sideways, which saved a lot of time. Wonder Beasts appeared now and then. After all, it wasnʼt like they stood still every second. Some roamed around, and a few eventually found their way to the twinsʼ group.

Kafan, Kentucky, and Celis didnʼt let them bother the twins, though. The work proceeded without issues. There wasnʼt any kind of defense against what Rean and Roan were doing, and the reason was actually quite simple. No one was supposed to be able to do what the twins were doing. Their own existence defied logic, thanks to the Soul Gem System.

Nonetheless, the fact the ceiling was extremely resistant didnʼt change. Even though they were opened space sideways on the ceiling, it took them almost a week to get access to enough runes. To make sure they would get what they needed, they also uncovered a few more until they got to a hundred.

”Phew...” Rean looked at the last rune with a smile. ”Now we have everything we need.”

Kafan approached and nodded, satisfied. ”Yes, this will do just fine. The only doubt now is what is going to happen once we break this formation.”

Indeed. This was a Spatial Formation. If they broke it, they might be thrown into the spatial storms and spatial rifts of the fabric of space. At their level, they would be able to survive, but they would also end up somewhere else in the Universe. And even that wasnʼt guaranteed. There were a few things with enough power behind them to cause the Spatial Storm to be deadly even for them. This formation might as well be one of such.

”Just do it already,” Roan wasnʼt with patience to discuss the possibilities. ”Itʼs either that or stay trapped in this shit forever. It should be pretty obvious which is the best option.”

Rean and Kafan nodded. Roan was right.

”Rean, Iʼll take care of half of the runes,” Kafan positioned himself as he spoke. Rean accepted that and positioned himself as well. ”How do you wanna do it? Chaotic Frequency?”

Kafan pondered a bit. There were many ways to destroy runes. Attacking it was obviously the most common, but that wouldnʼt be enough in this case. This formation is just too big, so destroying these runes alone wouldnʼt work. They had to use them to destroy the formation as a whole, and a good way was to mess up with the frequence of the circulation of energies of the formation.

”I donʼt think the guys behind the construction of this formation wouldnʼt have accounted for it. If it doesnʼt work, we will simply get these runes destroyed, and the formation will continue to work,” Kafan refused the idea in the end. ”Letʼs go for a more certain method. How about foreign energy? It will take longer, but pretty much no formation can deal with it, especially a formation like this one that uses such delicate and intricate runes.”

Rean considered that and saw it as a good option. ”Alright, Dark Element just so happens to be perfect for the job. I will match your output, senior Kafan.”

”Good!” Kafan immediately prepared to work. ”Start with the part of the runes responsible for the conduction of energy. Do it slowly so the Dark Element can be carried through the formation without causing much problem. Once enough gets accumulated, the entire thing should come down.”

Rean identified the necessary runes and started to work with Kafan. It was quite a simple plan if you just mention it. Corrode the foundation of energy circulation and the rest would follow. Yet, to actually do that, one had to truly be well-versed in high-level formations, which Kafan and Rean definitely were.

The work was slow, but not as slow as opening the ceiling to reach the runes. When a little more than two daysʼ worth of time were gone, the runes Kafan and Rean were working with showed some reaction.

*Crack...*

The first one cracked, and the circulation of energy inside it went chaotic. Not long after, the entire rune broke apart. Seeing that, Kafan and Rean smiled, knowing that was only the start.

*Crack... crack...*

A few more runes broke, and the energy circulation inside the formation as a whole began to fall out of place. The sound of cracking runes didnʼt only come from the runes Kafan, and Rean had access to. Soon, they also heard muffled cracking sounds around the corridor where they were staying. Kentucky, who was further away in the corridor, shouted. ”Rean, I can also hear the same sounds here.”

On the other side, in the distance, Celis also spoke. ”Same thing here. Also, I can feel the Spatial Powers of the area changing.”

”Alright, you two can come back now,” said Rean. he and Kafan came down, looking at their work with pride. ”Anytime now.”

Kafan and Roanʼs Dark Element had pretty much spread everywhere through the runes. Far away, in other locations, the Semi-Celestials and Divinity Realm experts also began to hear the same sound a few hours later. The down of the formation was close, and the Spatial laws of the environment quickly began to go crazy.

Spatial Rifts soon started to appear everywhere. The walls and ceilings, which seemed almost impossible to get through for the rest of the experts, now began to crack due to the sheer force of Spatial Chaos.

The twinsʼ group then created a barrier around themselves. ”Hold on! Things are just starting to get interesting!”

*Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom...*

Cracking sounds were now explosions. Chaos Laws and Energy got even more chaotic, fuelling the Spatial Disorder and opening many cracks in space itself. Finally, the formation couldnʼt maintain itself anymore and the entire thing came down. With that, everyoneʼs visions went blurry. They all understood that the warped space of the tower was returning to its original state. If they donʼt get swallowed by the Spatial Rifts and Storms, the real form of the tower will soon be revealed to them all.

Suddenly, the twins heard a sound directly in their minds.

*pin!*
