Bab 1052: Stone Reach

Two Ascendant Explorers were fleeing, their speeds of movements were so quick it was almost as if time had been frozen in place, because nothing around them was moving, even the molecules in the air were frozen in place, and if not for a green flame covering the two Ascendants that pushed away the frozen particles in their paths aside, then every motion of their bodies would be like a nuclear explosion going off, but this protective green flame was slowly dying out.

Their bodies which seemed to be made from black smoke left long trails behind, but their form appeared shaky and on the edge of dissipation as if both Ascendants had suffered grievous damages to their bodies.

This was when the true reality of their situation was revealed, their speeds were ridiculously fast, that was true, but the reality they were traveling past had been frozen in time, and their only protection against this time stop effect was the rapidly vanishing green flames covering their bodies.
