Chapter 294: The Escape
The Heart-Root Chamber didn't collapse like a building. It died like a beast.
The massive, subterranean organ of the World Tree spasmed. The golden veins that lined the walls turned a necrotic black, and the bioluminescent moss that provided our light began to wither and flake away into ash.
"Leon, move!" I screamed over the roar of fracturing wood.
I was draped over the Hero's shoulder like a sack of potatoes. My legs refused to work. The [Mana Rebound] from the overclock had turned my muscles into lead and my nerves into fiery wire.
"I'm moving!" Leon grunted.
He didn't run; he bulldozed. With the [Breaker's Hammer] in one hand and me secured with the other, he smashed through a falling curtain of vines that tried to block the archway.
CRASH.
We burst out of the Heart Chamber and into the tunnel leading back to the Chasm.
