The group rushed ahead once more, we ran into the passage ways of the palace to make our way to the throne room at the back. I could sense the presence of everyone very clearly, there was no reason for us to be lost.
As we passed through another turn, I noticed the people behind me slowly pulling away.
I slammed my feet on the ground and looked back.
All of them, were walking like snails.
"What happened to you guys?"
I noticed a slight resistance in my movements.
Ah…
The second of the last ones…
Max Timez was here.
Just as I prepared to break the dome of slowed time surrounding us, a swift slash filled my sight.
The world turned white for a moment as space itself seemed to have been cut through.
[Hoh? You broke that?]
Behind, heaving heavy breaths, were Luka and Kai.
"Eugene, keep moving," Luka said.
It was not just those too, even Cosmos and Yvas had intervened in the battle, the one who seemed to the most spent was Bael, though.
