Chapter 1449: Shattering Space
After just two hours of waiting, Mathilde looked up at the branches in the middle of her training with Dalla, ending in her taking a hot slap to the face.
"Don’t suddenly stop moving!" Dalla gasped; she was already in the middle of an attack and expected Mathilde to be able to dodge it. She didn’t intend on slapping her like that; this was just training after all.
"Arad, we need to move at once. The gap won’t last long, and this place will soon get drowned in a wave of space magic." She turned around, and everyone was suddenly lifted up with golden radiance. She was using her divine magic to carry them as she rushed up Arad’s back as he transformed.
"Where to go?" Arad asked, and she flicked her foot, kicking a tiny ball of light into the horizon, "Follow that. Closely."
Arad flapped his wings and pushed on the ground with his massive talons, causing the branch to shatter as he burst into movement, flying faster than sound in a second. If not for his gravity magic and Mathilde’s divine magic, everyone would’ve had their organs minced.
At first, Arad was worried that he might not be able to keep up with a ball of light, but to his surprise, the thing wasn’t moving at the speed of light. It was just a glowing ball of magic that Mathilde controlled to show him where to fly and how fast to move. Sometimes it moved painfully slow, and at other times it was hard for him to keep up, but he could still stay close to the ball’s back.
"I can sense the space shifting around us, but is it really that dangerous?" Arad asked, and Mathilde frowned. "You had to ask? Brace yourself, your tail won’t make it in time."
At that moment, Arad felt something engulf his tail. It was soft and warm, like warm water or cotton. He looked back with one eye, and it was just in time for him to see the true horror of this place. He felt a sharp pain across his whole tail as it was forcibly stretched like dough, pulled apart, and disintegrated in the crushing space.
"What the hell is that?" He asked as his tail regenerated. Arad wasn’t a stranger to painful wounds, and such a thing won’t even make him flinch.
"Yog call it spaghettification. The process by which space is forcibly stretched alongside anything inside it. Your tail survives a second in that pressure, I bet that it wouldn’t have lasted that long if you weren’t an adult void dragon, so keep flying as close to the light as you can, and keep your tail pulled in if you can."
