Chapter 270: Descent

Despite the initial shock that had overcome everyone left on the sled as the colossalfor the ascenders to snap back to reality However, thanks to Regis’ second warning, I was the only one able to react in tie the wide tip of the beast’s tail Everyone else had been too focused on its grotesque face

Time seemed to slow as I watched the chain of events unfold after barely ju out of the way The beast’s leathery tail snapped down, crushi+ng the sled like a twig Taegen had somehow barely reacted in tiside Trider underneath the large tail The shockwave of force generated by the impact scattered the rest of us eren’t directly in its range

‘Let’s go!’ Regis urged

But my eyes shi+fted between Daria and Caera, both unconscious, and both falling off the risen earth that I largely suspected was the body of this titanic beast

Regis Get Daria, I sent with a pleading tone

A surge of eroan Despite the situation, a sis leap out oftoward the unconscious Daria

Meanwhile, I released the li forth in a shroud of aether as my eyes took in the situation at hand

Daria’s teammate was nowhere to be seen while a pool of blood spread froed to avoid being co sword embedded on the side of the titan’s body, his face bloody and his free arle

I cleared the distance betweenCaera, her face lost in a curtain of navy hair I barelyoff the cliff of the risen earth, more annoyed at myself than I ith the situation

How many more options would I have had if I was able to use mana? I could’ve flown safely out of harether

Before I could even pull Caera and myself back up, however, I looked up to see the titan’s violet eyes glaring down at ed jaas a ht at us

I could feel ainst my chest as I considered e the attack? What would the width of the blast be? Would I be able to dodge it if I let Caera go? Or should I jump down the steep body of the beast onto solid land?

Cursing under e of the cliff and pulled myself up just as the titan released its breath attack

Caera stirred awake after landing on the ground, utterly confused as to why I had suddenly scooped her up and slung her overof—” Her words fell short as a bright white light bathed the surrounding area

I looked back to see thein its path as it let out a shrill hum

“Can you run?” I asked as we passed the broken sled I noticed that while Trider’s remains could be seen in the bloody pool where the beast’s tail had struck, I couldn’t see any sign of Taegen

“No My left ankle seems fractured at least,” she stated matter-of-factly

The destructive beam of pureon the broken surface of the raised ground resting on top of its body “Then do soo”

I could feel Caera subconsciously tighten her grip around me at my words, but she remained silent as we neared the far end of the rocky platform

“I don’t—” the red-eyed ascender let out a scared yelp as I loosenedto leave her

I knew as I watched her fight in the previous waves that she was hiding so with the fact that she had two very coer to sacrifice the her hadn’t been out of the kindness of my heart

“Okay!” she relented, heron for her life “Just keep running”

“There’s nowhere to run!” I retorted, the cliff edge drawing closer Caera stayed silent though as I felt an o within her that I hadn’t felt before

Trusting her, I navigated away fro ground becaround atop this s and back and pushed off with all ic to redirect the air resistance, I could only grit ainst our bodies as we sailed high through the air

As the er around Caera, as still slung over uardian that had erected froht that literally standing on the gigantic beast and seeing it up close would’ve prepared

Despite all of the ht over the years in Dicathen, it tookthis creature as a single entity—my brain just didn’t want to believe that there could be so

The creature was about as tall as the tower holding the power source, but it looked irth of the beast

From this far away, the colossal s Both its long tail and neck were attached to a leathery torso that could beits weight were six legs, each as thick as its neck

“Caera!” I roared as the shi+ froan descending

At the height we had jumped from and the speed of our descent, I had no confidence in surviving the impact from the fall let alone the beast’s breath attack steadily approaching us

Twisting an concentrating all of ht hand I knew the bea platforh to counter the beast’s attack but I had little choice Caera re over my shoulder

Just as the two of us were about to be swept into the destructive tidal surge of mana and just as I was about to release rasp She hooked one arm around my neck to keep herself stable as she withdrew her curved sword from a dimension item

I stoppedblack aura wrap over the cri down

Her once-red blade extended into a fla white cone of destruction, severing and creating a path just wide enough for us to fall through before the black fla by how the path of the monster’s attack continued up, I could tell that it would be hard for hie its direction back toward us
