Chapter 118: Exception 2
Before them stood a large bronze gate, its surface weathered by time.
At the center of the gate was a giant bull’s head, carved with intricate details. The horns curled threateningly, and the hollow eyes seemed to watch them closely.
This place, whatever it was, had once been home to a civilization with primitive technology.
The rough design and stones of the bull’s head suggested it was crafted by hand, not with modern industrial tools or lasers.
Index didn’t pay much attention to the design of the structure. Her thoughts were elsewhere, consumed by the mysteries of the void and the conversation they had just shared.
“Let’s talk about the child topic later,” she was the first to break the silence.
She blushed, and he quickly realized his comment about having a family had probably come across more aggressively than he intended.
They loved each other, yes, but what he said was in a league of its own.
He scratched his head and pushed the heavy door open, eager to escape the awkwardness. It groaned under the weight but slowly creaked inward, revealing the other side.
The hallway stretched on, the ceiling towering overhead, supported by massive pillars on each side.
Old, worn walls displayed faded statues and symbols, hinting at a forgotten history.
He studied them and noticed the figures depicted had long hair and appeared immaculate, reminiscent of the elves he had seen in movies. Their clothing was also more fantasy-themed, and the weapons they held were bows and swords.
This confirmed his suspicion that the void was linked to another world, not just his own.
It opened up many possibilities but also uncertainty. Even if they somehow managed to escape, there was a chance they could end up in a completely different world.
Then again, any other place would be better than this one.
They didn’t waste any more time and continued forward. They hadn’t come here to sightsee but to find the source of the space disturbance before the void claimed this place entirely.
Once that happened, anything, including them, could be erased. The only safe place was their house, which had the ability to withstand the void. It was a feature that had been there since the very beginning.
In addition, according to her notes, only items they brought inside would survive after a certain period, as the darkness would eventually consume everything.
It was a good thing she found him when she did; otherwise, he would have suffered the same fate.
CLICK!
They pushed open another heavy door, the creak of the hinges breaking the silence as they stepped into a dimly lit corridor.
The air was thick with dust, and flickering shadows stretched endlessly. The corridor led to a stone staircase, its steps jagged and worn out.
There were also no railings, only a dark descent into what could be an even more dangerous part of this place.
CRACK!
Index frowned, her boots scraping the rough stone with each step. She could feel the vibrations, the sense that the structure was no longer stable.
She glanced at Asher, who was already thinking the same thing. “We can’t trust this,” she muttered.
He nodded in agreement. “We’ll need something more solid.”
Raising his hand, he cast “Lux Aeris.”
The air around them hummed, and from the stone beneath his feet, a translucent, shimmering platform appeared, shaped like his feet. It hovered just above the fragile stairs, glowing faintly with a golden hue.
This magic was subtle, but strong enough to support his weight, the edges shimmering like liquid light.

Index followed and cast her own spell.
With each step, their feet lit up—his glowing golden, hers purple. The glowing tracks lingered briefly before vanishing into the darkness.
Finally, the staircase began to widen, the jagged stones giving way to a smoother surface.
At the bottom, the air felt colder, and the space opened into a vast, dimly lit chamber.
The floor beneath them was made of polished stone, cracked in places but more stable than the stairs above.
“It’s there,” she said, her tone steady but tense.
“Once we cross this point, we’ll be near the origin of the disturbance. But we need to be careful. The closer we get, the greater the danger. The space around it will be less stable, which means it’ll be the first to be devoured by the void.”
Asher nodded, and both cast defense spells along with life-saving ones that would trigger in case of an emergency.
Index, with her experience in ruin hunting, had developed many skills and strategies to increase their chances, which made it easier for him to adapt to the situation.
Unlike him, she had grown accustomed to living in the void and had been forced to get stronger to survive. In this place, there was probably no one more experienced than her.
“Don’t use powerful spells,” she said, her voice filled with worry. “If you do, we’ll become targets, and it won’t end well.”
She flicked her wrist, sending a spell into the air. Seconds later, the air vibrated, and a black hole appeared, swallowing the spell along with everything nearby before vanishing into nothingness.
“I call that rapture. If you get hit by it, even our Magic Bodies won’t survive,” she warned.
Asher nodded, his gaze fixed on the spot where the walls had once stood, now completely gone. The entire area had vanished at an atomic level.
Worst part, he couldn’t tell if it had been erased or simply transferred to another part of the void. The thought of it being relocated was far worse—death would be a far better option if that happened.
After all, if he found himself floating in total darkness forever, he would prefer to die.
“I’ll lead the way, follow me,” Index said, sprinting ahead without using any magic for now.
She relied on her instincts, her eyes scanning the surroundings to predict when the rapture would strike.
When she sensed the danger, she quickly dodged sideways, avoiding the destructive force with ease.
Asher followed closely, trusting her lead, and together, they used this tactic to cover a great distance.
For a while, things seemed to be going smoothly. It was still very dangerous and reckless, but they moved quickly and efficiently.
However, as they neared a corner, Index suddenly stopped and cast a spell to bait the rapture into appearing further.
She then jumped back just in time as the wall and floor before them vanished, swallowed by the void.
“Not good,” she muttered, her voice urgent. “The place is collapsing faster than I expected. We need to hurry!”
Without wasting another moment, they took off again.
The ground trembled beneath their feet, the rapture striking unpredictably. Each time, they dodged just before the destructive force could reach them.
Index’s spells was minimal, only enough to give them a split-second advantage to avoid the deadly rapture that threatened to erase anything it touched.
The walls, the floors, the very air itself seemed to disintegrate, and with each step, the risk of being swallowed by the void increased. But they didn’t stop. They couldn’t.
Right now, he finally understood why she normally didn’t hunt for the origin of the space disturbance inside these ruins—it was too risky.
They couldn’t even use more powerful spells because it would make things more complicated.
