Mythology Rebooted-Chapter 398 - 186 Void Worm_2

Don’t come any closer!

In Wayne’s eyes, Aub, facing death, still wanted to drag someone down with him; if he couldn’t live, neither would anyone else.

Aub didn’t realize that he truly thought he was a Legendary Mage, emitting a tempting scent that lured the Void Worm to crave his flesh, making him run with extraordinary speed.

He was betting, betting he could run faster than Wayne.

At this point, Aub was no longer concerned about Wayne’s body—his own was more important, surviving was better than anything else.

As for his unscrupulous act of betrayal, it wasn’t a big problem. Planck had taken the blame, and as long as he killed all the witnesses, he would still be the loyal Magic Department Vice Minister to the Queen.

There weren’t many witnesses: Wayne, Mona, Philomena, and Chris, just four of them.

Up ahead, Wayne suddenly increased his speed.

He transformed his limbs into tentacles, sporting a Great Eyeball on top, and carrying a Magician Girl. Running like the wind, he was the epitome of an oddity.

Perhaps due to stylistic reasons, the universe seemed to pair rightly with a Tentacle Monster. In this form, Wayne was even faster than flying. freewёbnoνel.com

This terrified Aub, who used all his strength, as if his life depended on it, fearing that Wayne would widen the gap between them.

Behind them, the Void Worm roared and pursued with equal ferocity.

Wayne wasn’t running blindly; he was leading Aub on like a kite on a string. After a long distance, they completed a circle, and as they passed by Mona, a tentacle wrapped around her and pulled her aboard the chaotic flight.

The Stigmata ensured that Mona didn’t lose her mind, but her condition was far from ideal. Her eyes were empty, and she quietly echoed the whispers around her, feeling very good about herself.

Gradually, she understood everything!

The tentacle wrapped around her, pulling her close to Chris, and their heads bumped together gently.

As she got closer to Wayne’s Great Eyeball, the whispering in Mona’s ears faded significantly, her thoughts tired and numb, and her trembling eyelids slowly closed.

Wayne made nearly a full circle and finally found Philomena. The Golden Mage had her Life Barrier open, making her way through space with difficulty.

The Golden Mage had the right to reject knowledge and could enter the Gate of Truth for a short duration. Philomena couldn’t last much longer, but upon seeing the tentacle Wayne sent her way, she gave the Great Eyeball a tired smile.

Three heads came together.

A Tentacle Monster carrying a Magician Girl, a Glamor Lady, and an aunt was sprinting without a clear destination. After saving them, he had no idea where to go next.

Things were different now; last time the Gate of Truth had an exit, so finding the target meant they could leave.

This time Aub had done the deed himself; the gate was sealed, making it impossible for Wayne to escape.

"I know how to get out..."

In a daze, Philomena said, "Give me a moment; I can open the Gate of Truth with the Moon Phase Card, and then we’ll be able to leave."

"Then why don’t you get on with it!"

A mouth opened on a tentacle.

"It’s not that easy..."

Close to the Great Eyeball, Philomena spoke in fits and starts, enduring the struggle, "My thoughts have been contaminated by the stars. It will take time to open the Gate of Truth, and... the creature chasing us is the Void Worm. It has solidified space. I need to get out of its hunting range before I can open the Gate of Truth."

Is it that troublesome?

"Damn that Aub, recklessly opening the Gate of Truth, and now look, we’ve got a monster on our tails."

Wayne cursed bitterly, The Book of Greed might’ve been thrilled, but he was being chased with no escape. Such an opportunity was better left unclaimed.

The Star Realm Space was too dangerous. If he came back, he’d be a fool!

Behind them, Aub couldn’t catch up with Wayne and was about to be caught by the Void Worm. He drew his bow and released a Divine Art with a backward shot.

The pure moonlight beam took on a layer of gray mist under the starlight, neither serene nor holy, full of decay and despair, lifeless and corrupt.

The pale figure of the Moonlight Goddess appeared, pushing with her hands, her halo pulsating, erecting an indestructible barrier.

Aub shot two more arrows. The divine powers of the sun and nature, manifested by two other Goddesses, joined the three lights into one. A life Barrier unfolded, blocking the Void Worm’s path.

That was his strongest defense!

At that moment, Wayne reached the vicinity of the shattered platform.

Half-conscious, Philomena realized they had left the solidified space. Suppressing her tired mind, she summoned four Stone Tablet Cards. With the cycle of moon phases, she forcibly opened the Gate of Truth.

A loud boom!

The Void Worm, gnawing at the Life Barrier, sensed its prey was about to escape. It roared and increased its wriggling speed, catching up to Aub in just a few breaths.

It wouldn’t let go of this tasty morsel, though it wasn’t the main dish. It was a suitable appetizer.

Swallowed by the Tempest!

Aub plunged into the whirlwind of the storm, falling into the feeding orifice of the Void Worm. His tattered Magic Robe flapped wildly, and his flesh was torn from his bones by the powerful suction, causing him to scream in agony.

In this life-or-death moment, without time to think, he desperately threw his longbow toward the worm’s seemingly bottomless gullet.

The longbow was no ordinary piece, a rare Magic Tool that Wayne would recognize as a treasured item he had lost years ago if he gave it another look.

Humm humm humm———

Dark red, pale, and ghastly green mixed together, three colors of flame meeting, symbolizing the cyclical power of destruction and creation. The strange fire ultimately merged into a dim gray, lifting a pair of wings that covered the sky, transforming into a Giant Dragon that rampaged through the digestive tract of the Void Worm.

The dim Giant Dragon was astonishingly hot, with a terrifying potential to twist space.

The Void Worm was tough and not scorched by the fire, but it felt as though it had swallowed a burning coal. It rolled in place, its mouth secreting a dark green liquid in distress.
