The impossibly large mass of stone connected to the top of the nearest chain turns the entire sky dark as it falls toward us at a speed impossible to measure correctly. The closer it gets, the larger the stone mass seems to become. What I assumed to be a few kilometers wide stone turns into a few dozen, then even larger, reaching too far out of the depths of my perception skill to even see. Ember and I airstep toward the outer edges at first, but as the huge mass of earth gets closer, we change our trajectory to head back down toward the sea where we came from. Our soul energy-powered air steps push us through the sky much faster than any of the other creatures trying to get away. As they fall far behind us, the rock mass keeps getting closer, catching stragglers and pinning them against its mass as it continues to fall toward us. The winds pick up, the echoing cracks of rock breaking and shifting fill the air, and the dangling chain sways and clanks together now that its links are far looser. The sky turns dark blue, and fragments of smaller stone fill the air. I pull two teleport crystals leading back to the shoreline where we left from my item storage and throw one to Ember with my telekinesis skill, speaking through our link to tell him we'll use them as a last resort as the landmass above us gets so close I finally feel its true mass and shape. We float upward past the point where the purple forcefield stopped this island from falling, and we pass through it like it was never here. You might be reading a pirated copy. Look for the official release to Visit NovelHub for more amazing novels and chapters. Still, moving away from the rock mass, I finally turn to see what's on the other side. It isn't what I expected at all... Ember responds while looking up at the sky, eyeing all of the other chains far off in the distance. "Well, you can't say I was wrong. We did find some solid land..." I nod while taking in the landscape of thick forest filled with massive obsidian-black trees stretching high into the air. Their bases are dozens of meters thick, and as I look upward I cannot even see their tops. Every few hundred meters, branches sprout from the jet-black wood and some of the leaves that grow from these trees are larger than my entire body. The black glossy plants shimmer and shine like they're chiseled out of volcanic stone, reflecting the orange light of the insect monsters that hurriedly jump into the forest. Many chirp and click as they fly by us from all of the nearby chains. At this realization, Ember and I continue to airstep away from the island covered in black trees, getting far away from the dangerous creatures that lurk there. We backpedal far away, letting the floating island of death fade away in the distance while approaching the nearest chain to stop and rest for a moment. I nod, then sit down next to him while staring ahead at the obsidian forest. My item storage opens and I take out an orange fragment of my own.
