Chapter 2425
“Do you sense that?”
Nathaz Eloise paused in its efforts, its many limbs trembling from the exertion. It leaned back and looked at its ancestor, who had spoken. Around them, the massive working of their dreams unfolded, almost as though it already existed and they were simply excavating it. Adrenaline surged through Nathaz’s body, but the sudden voice brought him back to sloshing consciousness.
He looked around. He couldn’t believe how much his spinal column ached. His thoughts seemed sluggish. How long… have we been working on this…?
Nathaz blinked several times, shaking his head; obviously, it was for the best that he threw himself totally into the labor. Only then could they accomplish their goal before Elhume intervened. And while it seemed Randidly Ghosthound currently had the situation in hand, the dangerous rumbles of Aether and Nether spoke to a balance that could be shattered anytime. They needed to work quickly.
Just… would he really feel this much sense of exhaustion if they had only a small span of time to struggle?
After a moment, Nathaz recalled the question and cleared his throat. “Sense what, Honorable Ancestor?”
“This… shape.” Tuthak’s features scrunched together as it looked out across the sprawling working that would rearrange the hierarchy within the Nexus. Its powerful lines rippled and shifted, speaking to its status as a breathing and organic Engraving, certainly a masterwork achievement. The luminous radiance released by the growing working spoke to their accomplishment. Yet Tuthak seemed to hesitate. “This is definitely… the shape we talked about. Yet sometimes, when I consider the whole-”
A strange breeze leaned against all their efforts. The lights flickered and warped. Every time Nathaz felt like he was about to get some clarity on what he witnessed, a flicker in the corner of his eye distracted him.
He blinked slowly. Truly, he was frazzled by this toil.
