Chapter 566: Pursued
Examining the changes in his enemies, Sage noticed something a little more positive. While Hei Bai, Whitestaff, the Artful Life Alliance, and the Fu Clan were riding on the tortoises back, the tortoise was not the same as it was before. Previously, the Living Disasters joints glowed with flowing magma, and only when it curled up into its shell did it appear like a normal mountain. Now, those burning veins and glowing stones were gone. It truly looked like a giant stone statue. If it wasnt moving it would look like someone had decided to carve out the base of a mountain to look like a tortoise was supporting the peak on its back.
There was still a subdued flow of smoke from the peak on the monsters back, but compared to the violent explosion a day ago it was just a light smoulder. Before the eruption, when the tortoise was in motion, the mouth of the volcano on its back was constantly spewing black smoke and the tortoises mouth was constantly dripping with lava like drooling saliva. Its eyes were like giant glass orbs filled with raging fires, but now they were like hard gemstones. The smooth spheres were now multifaceted like a cut diamond, and Sage really hoped that reduced the beasts vision.
The huge tortoise didnt stop rumbling towards him. In fact, as if to spite him, he caught sight of Whitestaffs namesake and his gaze was drawn to the old woman beside her and a trio of powerful figures. They were staring right back at him and he knew that his escape had only just begun. With them having confirmed they were on the right track, Sage gave up on burrowing underground. The Warp Worm surfaced and disappeared, while the Soul Clone grabbed the Universe Ring and started to fly towards the swamp as fast as it could.
Sage was going to bring out another linked insect, but since he was in full view of the enemy he decided against it. Without a physical body his speed, and that of the Soul Clone, were drastically reduced, but he could also fly and pass through material barriers. As long as they could get somewhere with some obstructions, it would be a lot easier to lose their pursuers. The Soul Clone flew directly towards the Swamp, just the sort of place that would be crawling with insects for him to hide among. This chapter was first shared on the Ñøv€lß1n platform.
The Living Disaster followed behind him, each step causing a dull rumble of the earth. As they neared the swamp, Sage started to see the leaves and limbs of the trees shuddering from each of the tortoises steps. Unfortunately, being in clear view of the tortoise had boosted its speed and it was now closing the distance between them. Sage was getting ready to start avoiding molten boulders, but was pleased to see that the tortoise was no longer spitting them out endlessly.
How the hell am I supposed to get rid of Whitestaff when shes riding on top of a walking mountain?
While he was busy trying to think of a way out of his situation, fate seemed to have more fun in store for him. He heard the motion of water in the distance and he saw water lifting higher than the trees. Not a spout, but more of a swell, like a mountain of water rising into the air. As amazing as it looked, he knew what followed would not be pretty. On the plus side, the Soul Clone had no physical body, so it got to spectate the show without much danger. The watery hill then resolved into a massive wave rolling out in every direction. By the time it reached him it was still twenty feet high, and surprisingly when it passed through the Soul Clone he felt some resistance. The water parted around him, creating a gentle pressure like pushing through a beaded curtain. The Soul Clone had no actual sense of touch, but it did drag on his Spiritual Sense. It started to carry the Soul Clone along, but when he pulled back his Spiritual Sense it passed by easily.
The wave was only the warmup, because when Sage caught sight of what caused it, he burst into another wave of cursing. Youve got to be kidding me!
The source of the wave was a creature, an immensely large creature at that. One that was surfacing slowly from below and pushing all that water out of the way. The sheer size of the thing made him question the depth of the swamp he was passing through. Wasnt it only a few feet deep, how could there be something that big coming out of it?
The dim light of the sunset reflected off the monsters body and caused it to glisten, showing off the dark coloring of its exoskeleton. Many huge beady black eyes locked onto the mountainous tortoise and the beast released a shrill squeaking shriek, but with enough volume to burst a mortals eardrums.
