Will of chaos-Chapter 1599: Cap 1597: I will not be hunted

Flying wasn’t a good option in this place, you couldn’t count on the air you breathe or the gravity that surrounds you, space itself condenses and expands as it pleases, we could even change our direction without realizing it.

We were already used to this by now, but even so the situation was much worse now, every step we took was like walking on a path of traps, whether it was the Tree of End, we experienced more environmental accidents in a single day than we experienced during the entire time we were here.

It was all crazy, even walking on the ground we had problems, this swamp didn’t just have water, it had a lot of liquid, yes, but few areas of water.

There were patches of magma more frequently, there were also rivers of electrified sand and fog full of acid, even the patches of land could just be thin layers that hid holes or even be part of the bodies of large creatures, all this without counting the trees attacking us during the journey.

We were constantly being targeted, but we couldn’t do anything since the Tree of the End wouldn’t show itself, or so she thought.

"< Symbol of the Starry Dawn >" (Samara)

"All set?" (me)

"Yes." (Samara)

"Are you sure this will work?" (Diana)

"No, but it doesn’t hurt to try." (me)

"Wouldn’t Niryna be a better option for this?" (Aurora)

"No, your mind isn’t as unshakable as the master’s, only Callidora could do something that wouldn’t happen." (Hades)

"Actually, I would love to have that possibility, it’s been a long time since I corrupted a World Tree..." (Callidora)

"No, I know what you want." (me)

"You’re just postponing the inevitable." (Callidora)

"Let’s continue with the plan." (me)

"You know none of this is a coincidence." (Callidora)

"..." (me)

Being hunted in this passive way is not my style, I will not let things stay like this, with the Tree of End threatening us and hunting us like this while it is far away we may never get its head.

The longer I spend here the worse the things that can and will happen, Callidora is not wrong in calling me the bearer of misfortune, everything that can go wrong, will go wrong when I am involved and I learned to see these signs a long time ago.

"Shall we move on, Aurora?" (me)

"In that direction." (Aurora)

Aurora raises a hand, a mark lights up on the back of her hand rising a few inches into the air, it looks like an arrow drawn like vines pointing in a direction we follow.

As soon as we start moving forward once more, the space opens up in front of us, everyone dodges only to be struck by lightning that emerges from the ground, this interrupts our movements for half a second in which a tree that should have been dead but completely dry rises, its trunk opens revealing thousands of vines that look more like snakes coming towards us.

"Samara!" (me)

"< Symbol of the Star Dawn: Infernal Path >" (Samara)

For part of the way Samara was collecting remnants of the Aura of the Tree of the End to perform the extrapolation of a magic that she already knew, she had to adapt this magic to the current circumstances, which for someone like her was not very difficult.

She pulled out a bone knife covered in glowing symbols, then activating the power of this blade she pierced my back aiming for my heart that burns with the Infernal power of Samara, it was at that moment that all my senses went out leaving only my Aura, then in this void of information I saw thousands of strings light up and I extended my will to it.

As soon as I touched these strings it was as if I had changed the visibility of an intricate map revealing forests in multiple directions, all their roots intertwined with a thick root that was still revealing itself, there were dozens of these large roots that must have measured dozens of kilometers thick and were lighting up going in the same direction.

It didn’t take long for a large tree to reveal itself, its size so colossal that it reached the sky, its branches didn’t even show a single leaf, being covered in writhing vines, thousands of cracks were open throughout its structure but there were still two large cracks side by side as if they were its eyes, the feeling I was feeling was frightening, each of these countless cracks was devouring something that I couldn’t identify.

In this large tree there was only one thing that seemed alive, a branch that crossed at an angle from one side to the other.

As soon as I saw this tree, I was also noticed, its presence locked on me and without saying anything a large arm emerged from a large crack in its structure trying to reach me, the arm was burning in green flames and I didn’t waste any time.

"<Divine Curse: Corruption of the Anomalous Apocalypse>" (me)

I use my Will to move the Anomalous and Divine power within me to gather at one point in this place, then a Demon formed from black mist forms with the skull of a Dragon as its head, it dissolves into mist spreading through a tree following the flow to one of the large roots.

At that moment I am struck while I was still returning, my body that was retreating increased its speed greatly while a great pain shakes my Soul and I open my eyes hearing a voice from very far away.

"What did you do!!??" (Tree of the End)

When I looked around, I was in Diana’s arms, blood was leaking from my eyes, nose and mouth, when I looked at my chest there was a large depression in the shape of a hand burning in green flames, it hurts a lot, nothing I can’t bear, the real problem was actually my Vitality being burned faster and faster as the flames seemed to increase in intensity.

"<Cursed Sun: Devour>" (me)

Of course this wasn’t a problem for me, a part of my Divine Weapon comes out of my body in the form of a small Purple Sun, it appears sucking the green flames as if hundreds of small Purple Fire Demons were consuming those flames.

"<Nature Magic: Embrace of Life>" (Aurora)

After the flames were gone, the damage still wouldn’t heal on its own. A deep handprint was left on my burned chest. Aurora tried to heal me. An image of her 5 times her size tried to hug me while a pleasant energy flowed into me, but the wound wouldn’t heal.

"You don’t need that much." (Me)

I control my body and use my hand to cut off the entire affected part that makes up almost 80% of my chest before my blood begins to rebuild the part that was ripped off without any problems.

"How do you feel?" (Hades)

"I feel fine, how was it?" (Me)

"We’re not sure, but things seem to have returned to normal, at least by the standards of normality of this damn place." (Aurora)

"I can’t feel her presence anymore, so I think she succeeded." (Silvia)

"Then we should go now. We don’t know if she’s going to do anything else." (Diana)

"Then let’s go, lead the way Aurora." (me)

"Then let’s go." (Aurora)

Aurora once again leads the way for us, for the next few hours we didn’t encounter even half of the previous problems, at most we had to deal with a spatial earthquake that opened a large rift on our side.

Now night was falling and we all stopped for a short rest, looking at our condition it was clear that everyone was tired and strangely tired to the point that Diana looked pale.

"Something’s not right." (me)

"I told you he would notice." (Niryna)

"His perception is at least decent at least." (Callidora)

"What’s going on? Are we under attack?" (me)

"No, we’re just having our strength sucked, it happens every night, but normally it was a low and almost imperceptible amount." (Niryna)

"But today is different, the amount being sucked is too great." (Niryna)

I looked up at the sky and saw that Egg again, the sky was clear this time and by concentrating my Divinity in my eyes I was able to see everything in this world being sucked in, energy particles with all possible colors were flying towards the egg from all directions.

Looking at myself I could see energy particles that were condensed from all types of energy and even from my Aura, everything was being sucked in as if it were the most normal thing possible.

"It doesn’t seem serious, have everyone activate their Divinity or Essence power, that will solve it." (me)

I tried a few things, I couldn’t just be sucked out of my energy or power like that, the Aura was impossible to be useful when it was also being sucked in, but the Divinity was able to isolate me from this damn effect that was sucking my power.

After some time of rest, everyone recovered and we continued on. After several hours of traveling, we arrived at a strange place. It was a place we didn’t notice until we arrived. Space was folded in this place, preventing anyone from seeing this large hole with a circumference of dozens of kilometers and unknown depth.

"Aurora, tell me it’s not here." (Me)

"It’s here." (Aurora)

"It looks like there’s something down there..." (Zaya)

Suddenly, a shadow appears from the hole as the space of this entire area collapses.
