RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE!
The ground beneath them was no longer just shaking—it had gone completely mad!
It was as if a slumbering, ancient titan had been violently awoken and was letting out a furious roar.
The solid ground instantly transformed into a raging sea, heaving, collapsing, and tearing itself apart.
Massive chunks of earth were flung into the air by an unseen force, only to come crashing down. Sturdy trees groaned, a sound that set one's teeth on edge, before snapping in half like brittle reeds. Countless fragments of rock rained down from the fractured cliff faces.
But the deadliest of all were the black maws that suddenly gaped open.
Bottomless fissures spread across the ground at an astonishing speed, widening as they went.
They devoured fallen trees, scattered cargo, and anything else that lost its footing.
The echo of earth and rock plunging into the Abyss sounded like the chewing of Hell, a bone-chilling noise.
"Damn it!"
