Chapter 2115 - 2110: The Well of Chaos
Chapter 2115: Chapter 2110: The Well of Chaos
Do not expect miracles, but that doesn’t mean you can’t create them yourself.
The "acceleration" just now, left unsaid, was actually quite simple.
On one hand, it is decided that Esther won’t find anything, so there’s no intention to keep waiting, but on the other hand, it’s not so wasteful as to leave directly.
Since it’s suspected that the Fallen Stars are probably watching her, ready to react at any time if there’s any discovery, then let the latter find something.
The specific approach was the witch’s action just now, letting the observer Glenn notice a strange movement that even Esther herself hadn’t noticed, even taking the shape of a door.
This move, undoubtedly swiftly stirs the situation in Rielertin through the focal character of Esther.
Even if there’s no special reaction, and the arriving Fallen Stars don’t have any anomalies, one can still leave people for a little exchange, efficiently obtaining information.
And under such proactive promotion, a pleasant surprise appeared—the Fallen Stars didn’t even manage to arrive.
They went wrong during the process of descending and ended up in another nightmare.
The miracle under subjective initiative is no more than this.
As for why the door must open behind Esther?
Actually, it wouldn’t make much difference if placed in front; it’s just that Pontiff showed a little mercy to this poor soul.
Meeting the goal without causing unnecessary fright.
...
Falling.
Accompanied by a particularly weightless feeling, the twist is so scene-switch like it’s uncanny.
This nightmare might have been well hidden before, but once exposed, the witch obviously handles it with ease.
The duo only stepped off the carriage, and they have seemingly successfully entered a new section of the nightmare collective.
Only the first impressions are somewhat peculiar.
The descent seems never-ending, the view a bizarre whirl of sights, much like getting caught in gaps between maps in a game, anytime a glitch might eject one.
That Fallen Star who went astray, did they perhaps have a similar experience?
In the strange experience, Fu Qian thought instead of an earlier victim.
Although a hidden map has already been found, the best development would be to have a chat later, offering a bit more information.
"What a confusing place."
While pondering silently, the sensation of solid ground appears, with no transition in between.
While observing the surroundings that seemed to load in an instant, the witch beside comments casually.
Truly deserving of the "handle with ease" evaluation, not only successfully pinpointing the new nightmare, there wasn’t even the common mishap of the team getting split.
As for the comments... Fu Qian looks around.
At first glance, one might find it imbalanced, for the scene in front still bears a fair number of man-made marks, even with the ceiling intact.
Yet, the scenery is indeed somewhat special—it’s a graveyard of gravestones?
Though dim, the place where the witch and he manifested is fairly spacious, the ground uniformly paved with stone bricks.
But from underfoot all the way to the stair corner, the graves are startlingly paved with similarly colored stone sculptures, almost identical in shape.
No names are visible on the gravestones, replaced entirely by decorative patterns like watery ripples.
If it were just this, it might be understood as a sort of abandoned factory.
The eerie part is, the fallen gravestones are all facing the same direction, towards the stairs, with many overlapping as if in a vaguely human posture.
Indeed, at first glance, they seem to be struggling to surge towards the stairs.
They don’t resemble, but are expressive, embodying not the tranquility of the deceased, but a yearning for life.
"Mastering the dream will meet unique interference, the pathways out are also abstract, but I seem to know the reason for the earlier lapse in descending."
Evidently noting this scene, the witch’s gaze falls on the gravestones, continuing the evaluation.
"Let me guess, was the distance crossed in descending too far?"
And Fu Qian remains determined, even lacking perception, still attempting to deduce conclusions.
...
"Very much, how did you figure it out?"
Generous with tangible rewards, the witch spares no verbal praise for the knight, quickly affirming with a smile.
Walking along the direction of the gravestones, she remains curious about Fu Qian’s deduction process.
"Heard of something similar before, in that previous world, someone mentioned to me that space crossings are highly dangerous and can lead to unforeseeable consequences."
Fu Qian speaks without reservation.
"Though there are many differences in specifics, I think they might still serve as references."
The "someone" he spoke of was naturally Chief of Shangjing.
On one occasion, while traveling together to the indulgent Night Holy City, the latter solemnly warned.
Though vague about the reasons, Fu Qian thought it mostly unrelated to the chaos at the transcendent level.
In this regard, it feels like the world the witch inhabits may even surpass it.
Originally, due to the nature of the dreams, Rielertin’s internals might have been stable, with no errors in the Fallen Stars’ descent.
However, amid the background of nightmare grand fusion, many things have changed.
As to why the specific guess is that the distance crossed in descending caused issues, this point evidently also crossed the witch’s mind.
The nightmare has fused for a while; it’s hard to believe that the Fallen Stars, under stress response, haven’t always used this move; why did an error occur this time?
Although specifics aren’t well understood, an easy-to-think variable is just that the distance in this descent was too far.
The further the cross, the higher the risk—a simple logic.
She even mentioned earlier, that the West District Church was a bit distant from here.
In summary, this "risk" is the way this nightmare connects with Rielertin. It’s a well where a mistake in a space jump could get one trapped.
Under their acceleration efforts, the Fallen Stars’ response was relatively hasty, ultimately turning victims.
But things should be optimistic; regardless of the process, the goal was achieved, they truly found another passage to the nightmare.
Though the party concerned might not see it as such, they’re evidently under great pressure at the moment.
At the next moment, upon reaching a higher level, Fu Qian stops with the witch, staring at the two figures not far away.
Living entities, even moving.
The one in front has an exaggeratedly burly physique, hard to classify as human.
Its thick arms are crossed behind its back, bending under a heavy gravestone almost as tall as it.
The one behind is much smaller by comparison, identifiable as the long-lost Fallen Star Xia.
Unfortunately, everyone bears the same-sized load, an almost double-height gravestone, weighing heavily on her back.
