Chapter 112: The Time of Parting
The closer they got to their destination, the faster the colorful scenery around them faded. The space was dissolving in a strange way, and the edge were like the ends of moldy rotten rags. The sound also began to blur, as if it was separated by a thick wall. They could no longer discern the contents of the broken scene and could only concentrate on moving forward.
It felt odd. The first foot was still on the soft, thick grass while the second foot was on hard stone bricks. When they approached the source of the nightmare, the surroundings had become extremely quiet; so quiet that only the breathing and footsteps of two people were left in the entire space.
Therefore, the sound of crystal fragmentation was particularly loud.
The robe of the Abyssal Church was simple in style. Nemo had put the crystal piece given to him by Virgil in his only pocket. Even if Oliver was standing by his side, Ann was outside waiting for them. Cognitive interference had no effect on Nemo. He carefully calculated the time since they had entered. It was not sunrise yet. In order to prevent exposure, it was reasonable that Ann wouldn’t take the initiative to contact him.
The crystal chip was not a communication crystal. Once contact begins, no one could decide whether they want to receive it or not.
Nemo hurriedly took it out and quickly isolate it with magic, so it wouldn’t be crushed into dust by the monitoring magic here.
“I know this isn’t appropriate. Sorry.” Accompanied by the clattering sound of the crystal fragmentation, the voice of the female warrior came from the crystal chip. The speed of her speech was so fast that they could barely here the content. “The armies of other surface religions will intervene. Be careful not to meddle too much. If the momentum doesn’t seem right, retreat immediately. They want to pick up a leak. Not only this church, but all around here will be sealed…”
Before she could finish speaking, the crystal broke into pieces.
There only a one crystal chip left in Nemo’s possession, and three more were with Virgil, which couldn’t be borrow for the time being. The two held their breaths and stared at the only piece left.
