Earthling in Uncharted Dimensions

Chapter 306: Catalyst Fero

The turbulence in the atmosphere had begun to affect Pyro and Cryo as they exhibited signs of tiredness. They have been airborne for quite a while and it was a surprise for all of them that they have such immense energy reserve and endurance!

[Ruella, how would you define the catalyst?]

"I only have speculations about it.

But, the catalyst should have an affinity of Death energy or any element related to the element to break the stability.

If the catalyst has consciousness, then it would keep the two contenders away from devouring it and attaining the first possibility.

If the first possibility is on, then the catalyst would trigger a self-destructive sequence that might level a range of, I don't know, maybe a hundred kilometres from the point of origin. The shockwave is sure to go beyond the range in all directions.

But if the second possibility is stimulated, then the catalyst we invested in would have a chance to assimilate with the Death law fragment. Even if the assimilation is impossible, we would be left with a piece of the entire law fragment."

The need to find a suitable catalyst became a necessary higher than ever. D then sensed that the perpetual cycle of the stability is increasing the amount of accumulated energy and warned that the field of destruction will increase with each passing second!

Initially, Lee Shen blindly thought of jumping in but Ruella severely scolded him for such reckless decision.

Zena was out of the question as she was quite the opposite of what the Fallen was fighting for. If she was to jump in, they would conjointly disintegrate her and then focus on the battle.

Aero, Pyro and Cryo were already exhausted and wanted to rest as soon as possible. But they reassured Lee Shen that they can continue to stay airborne by gliding around the ship's location.

Hudson and D crossed their hands in front of their chest at Ruella's glance. They were the only remaining wisps of their complete souls and they did not want to die for something reassured by a Druid bad in mathematics.

Somehow, every single one of them had forgotten the most favourable existence at the moment. Fero had overheard about all that was happening through the conversations. He was actually ready to go in but laid down waiting for his master's call.

And his wish was fulfilled!

'Fero!'

Lee Shen's voice resounded inside the System Space at the very moment Ruella turned around to see the black fur figure. She had also reached the same conclusion as Lee but was a fraction of a second late.

Fero was the only one with an affinity close to Death. Though it was Dark element, it fulfilled the criteria for destroying the stability.

Moreover, he was an intelligent being with consciousness and superior control over his element. Thus, even if he failed to assimilate the energy, he would be alive. The maximum he would have to go through would be the pain of his soul and some physical tortures.

Fero jumped up with vigour and enthusiasm. A spatial tear was formed which was big enough for him to go through. At the other end of the portal was Lee.

"Boy, can you do this?"

Lee asked in doubt as he felt the usual enthusiastic expression on his face. The hyena nodded and then conveyed that he had been ready for quite a time.

Without wasting a moment, Pyro flew high into the sky and the slowly hovered over the glossy black object. The aura emitted from the ship was slowly burdening Pyro with pain and he promptly told Lee Shen to speed up.

When the time was right, Fero jumped out of the Draconic Wyvern's back and nose-dived into the glossy object. It had deformed greatly and did not resemble a ship anymore.

It looked like a glossy mass of slime floating over the ocean while maintaining the shape of the ship's hull. There were no disturbances over the surface of the object and it signified that the equilibrium was perfect and balanced.

As Fero drew closer and closer to the ship, the slimy object formed a funnel-like shape above the object to receive the oncoming object.

And into the funnel, Fero disappeared!

"Let's hope for the best."

Though it was an informal comment, those words infuriated D and Hudson. They criticised the True Druid's humour sense and engaged in a verbal war.

------

For almost a minute, the object was abnormally stable.

Then...

Intense tremors began to ripple through the surface of the object and the Fallen was stretching and breaking at many places. The slimy entity became skewered like a mosquito net and the remaining was absorbed into the ship's hull.

When the Fallen disappeared, there was no sign of the Chief Raider and Fero. The wooden construct had been deformed greatly and it no longer resembled a ship.

Instead, it looked like a large pile of wood floating in the ocean.

The ocean also produced ripples in resonance with the tremors of the pile of wood. It was only for a brief period and it vanished.

Many pairs of expectant eyes were fixed on the raiders' ship. The Draconic Wyverns completely forgot about their tiredness and their focus was unwavering.

Along with Ruella, the remnant soul of the Dimension Sovereign and the final wisp of the Mana user stared at the cracked deck of the ship.

D could not sense any kind of presence from the wreckage. He conveyed to the others that the ship is on the verge of disintegration and that something is puzzling inside the hull.

No matter how much he tried, Lee Shen failed to establish a communication channel with Fero. Though he could not communicate with him, Lee assured himself that Fero would be alive.

Ruella and Hudson joined forces and then pondered on the next possible outcomes. But their effort reached nowhere and drew nothing.

When the eyes expected a silent transition, the ship exploded with a bang that created intense spatial fluctuations in the vicinity.
