Chapter 259 - 212 : Thunderous God, Punishment for the Sinners 1 (1/2)

Standing at the top of the tower belonging to the MoonStar sect, Lissandra, Jackob, and Anastassia stared at the East, where an ominous aura could be felt even from their location.

After the first earthquakes, they didn't feel anything but a few seconds ago, they could feel the familiar yet chilling aura of Arthur's power. This was due to the first wave, which largely affected the environment around it. Although the sky didn't become jet black, the effect of the attack still reached them.

Even the heat from the Vermillion Bird assaulted them, causing Jackob to sweat profusely but apart from that, it didn't injure them in any way.

”It has begun... I wonder if Arthur will be able to do it.”

As he stared East, Jackob murmured with a worried tone.

”We can only pray for his victory.”

Anastassia clenched her fists as her eyes were fixated on that direction, she really wanted to go there and help Arthur but such thoughts were foolish and reckless. The difference in power between her and Arthur is unimaginable, she would be capable of doing nothing but make it harder for him, which is why she obediently agreed to all of his requests and remained here.

”Hmpf! You think your praying will do him any good? If I were you I would start preparing other plans such as an emergency evacuation in case things become worse.”

Lissandra snorted and left the roof, not wanting to spectate anymore, after all, it's not like watching from here would benefit here. The shockwave may even injure a mere mortal like her so it's best to stay inside the tower, where it's significantly safer.

Now that she doesn't wield Dark Magic anymore, just getting exposed to it may deteriorate her physical body and cause her mind to collapse, that's what Dark Magic is good at, after all.

Unlike Lissandra, Anastassia just stood there, expecting Arthur to return victorious. Jackob threw a couple of glances at her, then he said after some hesitation

”S-should I start preparing?”

”Mmh”

The woman nodded her head so without wasting any more time, the general left the roof to perform the task he was assigned to do a few days ago. Just as he entered the tower, an earthquake even more powerful than before occurred, thanks to the strong material the houses inside the MoonStar sect were created from, they didn't suffer a lot of damage but there are still some which couldn't hold up and collapse. As for the walls surrounding the sect, they were as motionless as ever, not affected by the earthquake.

The earthquake was followed by an ear-deafening roar that resounded all over Astria, just the roar caused large and deadly shockwaves that were sent in all directions.

Fortunately, the shock waves didn't last long and dispersed after traveling for a few thousand miles, nonetheless, this merely added to the shock of the spectators, which became even more fearful of the source of this angry roar.

...

Next to the gates of the MoonStar sect, there stood a large red minotaur with a domineering presence and a matching weapon on its back, however, such a monster was currently cowering behind a short red-haired youth that stood before it, calmly staring at the horizon with a deep gaze and a calm demeanor.

Sensing the heavy earthquake and the hearing the chilling roar, Swain sighed and mumbled

”Master... It's hard to fight when the fight ain't fair. Why must thou choose such a lonely road?*sigh*”

Swain turned around and waved at the minotaur dismissively while saying

”Let's go, there's nothing for us to watch.”

Although the minotaur was unwilling to leave, it still obeyed him and followed the youth reluctantly.
