Chapter 161: Evacuation efforts - Successful! (1/2)

-Hue, Nam Viet-

The residents of the city scrambled to find higher ground in a disorganized manner.

The topography of the local area was generally flat, so their best bet was climbing up a hill.

Alex guided the panicked crowd and occasionally turned his sight towards the sea.

From their position, the wall of molten glass glowed in a red and threatening manner and blocked off the entire shore.

'Hopefully, it can barricade off the first wave...' Alex's felt his Adam's apple move up and down as anticipation and anxiety crept up inside of him.

A gargantuan wave approached the coast at a breakneck speed.

Then, Alex felt a sudden burst of nausea and fatigue.

He held his head and rested his body on a sturdy tree nearby.

”Crap, I used too much faith energy,” Alex breathed heavily in intervals and soon recovered his footing.

The prolonged flight and the smelting took a great toll on him, and he probably couldn't use it anymore.

As his blackened vision returned to normal, he heard a scream and his body jerked awake.

Someone from the evacuates had turned around and fearfully screamed when they saw the oncoming wave.

Their body fell to the ground, and they stared hopelessly at the disaster.

Alex approached them and gently held them back up.

”Go on with the rest of the group, you'll be safe.”

They listlessly nodded and ran to catch up with everyone else.

Following that.....

*Fssssssshhhh*

The mortals plugged their ears from pain.

From the coast, the sound of water touching a hot pan reverberated towards them, except it was on magnitude thousands of times greater.

The first wave came into contact with his wall.

The rushing water instantly vaporized at the point of contact with the searing glass, but this couldn't last for long.

As the immense quantities of water continued their barrage, the glass gradually lost its heat, and only the height of the wall could protect them now.

Alex observed the event attentively.

The onslaught of the first wave continued and spilled over into the nearby lands where the wall didn't reach, but the barricade helped enormously.

A few dozen seconds later, a fortunate phenomenon occurred.

The speed of the wave slowed down and then reached a climax.

After that, Alex perceived the water slowly receding.

The residents of Hue looked at the completely intact city and cupped their hands in prayer.

”We've survived the first wave, but the second wave is still on its way.”

Alex clenched his fists.

He knew that their prayers were futile, and the second wave would tear down the wall completely.

As the water retreated back into the sea, it began rolling again.

This was the precursor to the second wave.

'I hope it's weaker than the first wave....!'

Fortunately, the water didn't retreat as far, and a smaller wave instead attacked the coast.

However, this second wave instantly broke down the wall of glass.

This was inevitable, but the residents all turned around and unanimously let out a gasp as they saw the death reaper of the ocean invade their precious home.

In the face of tsunamis, even modern buildings didn't stand a chance.

The wooden structures of Hue were all torn down, with varying degrees of damage.

”Stop Looking! Move on!” Alex reminded them to focus on the evacuation.
