Death... and me

"Hahaha!" Rean laughed from the other side of the Chasm. "Don't be ridiculous, Kentucky. We are in a Dimensional Realm. There is no space outside the Dimensional Realm, only endless Spatial Rifts, Storms, and Power."

Kentucky bitterly smiled as he pointed his wing upwards. "Are you sure? It is moving extremely fast. Why don't you take another look."

Rean then looked up, and sure enough, the red dots also multiplied in Rean's vision. The closest one, now much bigger in this vision, truly looked like a small rock in flames. Another second went by, and that small rock grew to the size of a boulder, and it continued to grow nonstop at a frightened pace. Obviously, the speed it was falling was ridiculously fast.

Not long after, Aelrie and Rean were able to see that all the other red dots were the same thing: meteors... "What the hell?!"

"No wonder there were so many holes in the ground; they are all craters!" Aelrie added.

Rean quickly turned around, preparing to flee. "Kentucky, we need to get out of here."

"Rean, stop!" Kentucky shouted. "You can't see it yet, but I can. The area behind us will definitely be much further affected than the area ahead of us! We need to fly forward! The city seemed to be outside of those meteors' landing range." Without waiting, Kentucky flapped his wings and darted forward.

Rean gritted his teeth but did the same thing. His cultivation circulated to the limit as he flew in the city's direction as well. He was slower than Kentucky while flying, but the difference wasn't that great.

Yet, both Rean and Kentucky could tell they would get to the city before the meteors started to bombard this land, so they went all out, releasing their Time Power and accelerating the time around them.

*Zush, zush!*

Two streaks of light cut through the air as they approached the city walls in the distance. Nonetheless, they greatly underestimated the speed of the meteors. In only took a few seconds for the very first one to land a few kilometers behind them.

*Boom!*

An explosion that wouldn't lose to Rean or Kentucky's full-power attack immediately took place, spreading a burst of energy in all directions. Following that, one meteor after another began to hit the ground.

"Dodge!"

*Boom, boom, boom...*

Rean and Kentucky couldn't escape the meteor shower by simply avoiding their landing areas. There were too many of them, and it was difficult to keep track of all without Divine Sense. Without another choice, both bird and man redirected their Time Power upwards, slowing the time above while keeping the time around their bodies running faster.

*Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom...*

Rean and Kentucky maneuvered right and left, front and back, up and down... Flying straight was already not an option anymore. That wasn't the worst part. Slowing the time of the meteors doesn't mean they got weaker. Instead, the events unfolding around them happened at a slower pace, but the outcome continued to be as powerful as it should be.

*Argh!*

*Fuck!*

The explosions coming from all sides finally hit Rean and Kentucky's bodies, and they were at the mercy of the meteors' powers. The best they could do was to always be in some place where the meteors didn't land directly, only taking the aftermath explosions of their collisions to the ground.

Of course, Rean and Kentucky didn't know how long this meteor shower would last, so they also forced their way forward as well as they could. Because the power of the explosions was so great, both couldn't simply use Divine Energy to protect their bodies. Instead, their light blue Sky Energy was shined around their bodies, being wholly focused on the protection of their bodies.

One would think that Kentucky was slightly better since he has the highest defense in the twins' group. However, his body was also several times bigger than Rean's or Roan's. He had to eat much more of the explosion than Rean did, so it put him in a more or less balanced position with Rean.

Only twenty seconds had passed since the meteors began to hit the ground, but Rean and Kentucky had already consumed more than half of their total reserves of Sky Energy. Judging by their speed, it would take at least a few minutes to reach the City Wall since they couldn't just charge ahead anymore. Obviously, they would be dead way before that.

It was then that Rean had an idea. He was still very close to the Chasm. The craters on the ground also appeared near the Chasm. However, the Chasm itself was still normal. There were only half craters on the borders. That meant the meteors that had fallen here in the past and fell into the Chasm, but they seemed to have caused no change the the Chasm's Spatial Chaos.

Rean immediately gave up flying to the city and turned to the Chasm. At the moment, with the Chasm's Spatial Power weaker compared to the initial areas, Rean felt it was easier to resist it than it would be to continue within the explosions of the Meteors, and that's considering he won't be hit directly by one of the Meteors.

'Kentucky, I hope you notice it,' Rean couldn't help but think. He definitely wanted to use Divine Energy to shout and let Kentucky know about his plan. However, how could his voice ever reach Kentucky with all these explosions? His voice, even with the addition of Divine Energy, already had some difficulty traversing the Chasm, let alone now. Rean was hopping Kentucky would notice through their system connection where he was going.

As Rean approached the Chasm, Kentucky did indeed notice Rean's movements. 'He is going for the Chasm?!' Kentucky was surprised to see that. However, another explosion hit his protection, depleting even more of his Sky Energy reserves. 'Fuck! It's better than just waiting for death here!'

Kentucky immediately changed direction and flew to the Chasm as well. A few seconds later, both Rean, Kentucky, and Aelrie on Kentucky's back dived into the Chasm.
