This is totally a dead end!
In front of sothing extrely imposing.
An extrely dark cloudish humongous wall with streaks of lightning-like purple lights inside.
Perpetually in motion without any logic to it. Even I that cannot feel mana can sense the deadliness of these purple bolts. Wherever one passes the space itself seems to crack giving off a deadly vibe.
All of it looks extrely chaotic. Entering the area a death sentence.
I focus and try to examine this phenonon. At first, all I see is a wall, but then I realize the nature of this thing. A huge-ass sphere covering this place. Kinda how at first glance the earth looks flat
It cages us in. There is no way we can go this way anymore. If I'm not mistaken this thing will appear on the opposite side of this realm too.
"This is the end of this world. Fuck."
Indeed this is what it is. The end of the world. You'd expect it to loop around but nope. This space seems to be a special area after all.
[Any way to pass through?]
"Nope, unless you are sturdier than space itselfyou would get shattered instantly."
We would need a way to sohow dodge the lightning. This would usually be where the MC charges in, to his wit's end, and survive through sheer luck or a sixth sense. No matter how much I keep bragging about my luck fact is I think this ship has sunk. As for a possible sixth sense I have trouble even using my other 5 senses. Yep, that's a big Nope too.
To make matters worse our pursuers are gaining ground. Slowly and inexorably.
[Alright, let's go. We still have a chance if we follow the periphery of it.]
But now we have an issue. While we need to cover lots of distance to loop around they can just head straight to us. We need to be even faster.
This is bullshit how much they have the ho ground advantage here. That and the number advantage. We are totally the underdogs here.
Oh don't get it wrong, this is bad. You know the saying the underdog wins the race? Well, it can happen. The thing is 99% of the ti the underdog will fail lantably. It's just that people love that shit and that the 1% that is successful will have a movie made about them and inspire a generation.
No. Gotta stay optimistic. I am still alive and breathing. As long as there is life there are hassles! Oh, wait I ant hope there.
Thus resus the chase. The worst being that we know we need to move fast, but we still don't see the shadow of our main opponent.
From ti to ti we encounter small skeletons groups. But I have a good way to handle it. I use this magic sentence:
[They are all yours mace-dude! Good luck!]
Does this seem lazy of ? Perhaps, but so whatit works. Now don't get mistaken, I am doing sothing. I am here for moral support! That is plenty! Then again, I am also scouting non-stop, god is this annoying!
In this manner we keep going. I wonder how long such a .
"What is that?! Look above us!"
Fuck, what now? Let's see. I don't notice anything. All I see is the red glow of the moon on an otherwise dark background. Waitthere is movent there.
A shadow just moved. It blends almost perfectly into the surrounding atmosphere. That explains why I didn't notice. Let see what we are against. oh fuck.
I know what this is. Phantomatic and looking almost immaterial. Dark and seemingly dragging along oversized robes, except it's its body. An indistinguishable visage under a dark hood.
A motherfucking wraith. Or is it a specter? I don't fucking know. All I do know is that these things are a huge pain in the ass to deal with and that it flies.
This ans it is fast as fuck. Fast compared to us, even faster compared to the skeletons. It can easily excel in guerilla attacks. We'll die of exhaustion if we need to fend off its attacks while we are fleeing.
[We need to get rid of that thing.]
"Agreed. I think we'll need magic for that. Hopefully, I'm wrong."
It locks onto us and lowers its altitude. It floats to one of the rcenaries that counters by slashing it rcilessly.
The blade passes through its incorporeal form and the creature's claws reach out for the rcenary's throat. Good thing he manages to dodge at the very last second.
Either we can get rid of it using the leader's magic or we'll have to sacrifice soone to drive it away. I really hope this works.
[Cast so support magic. Ti to get busy.]
I hear a slight chant from him then the blades alight with fire. Damn, that's aweso looking. One fiery set of weapons coming right up! Now is not the ti for jokes actually.
They coordinately surround the creature and hack away at it. Every slash makes it beco fainter until finally it shrieks and disappears. Are you fucking kidding ?! No loot whatsoever! Who designed such a bullshit monster! Seriously whatever God designed this place is an asshole!
The good thing is we finally dealt with that wraith. We would have been in trouble if there was more than one. oh crap. As I check the sky carefully, I realize there are so more. Many, many more. The skeletons are swarming the groundand the wraiths are swarming the sky. How we encountered the first one only now is a miracle. Actually no. They are flying lower and lower. Guess they sohow detected our presence. They were probably farther away before.
Most don't seem to be in a hurry to get to us. Are they toying with our party? Are they receiving orders from so being? Are they simply slow and acting on instinct? I do not know. All I know is that the more ti we spend here the more dangerous it becos.
At this rate, we'll face a new enemy every chapter. That's how I'd describe the situation if this was a novel.

You get it. If we stay here, we are royally and officially fucked.
Not the good kind of fucked. The really horrible one.
That ends with our bones ground to dust and our soul essence sucked by so specter.
What do we do?
What can we do?
There is always that.
Such a plan is insane.
Actually as good as not having a plan.
Death is almost but assured with this new idea of minebut you know what?
Let's fucking go for it. I would rather leave in a blaze of glory than to slowly perish from exhaustion.
All or nothing, ti to get serious!
