Chapter 226: Here we go again

“By Solaria’s tits, what the hell was that?”

Orson called out while grasping his ears The strange sound made the entire restaurant shake with the people inside The ere shattered along with dust being pushed into the building as if an explosion went off outside Roland on the other hand was fast to grab the helmet that he had attached to his hip and put it back on

Quickly he activated his radar to see if there were soe nu The only thing that he could confirm was that there weren’t any monsters in the vicinity

“That sound caun to move towards the shatteredto peek out The others along with Roland weren’t far behind her While they all were armed none of them chose to pull out their weapons just yet They were still in a large city filled with soldiers if there was a problem with some terrorists then it was up to them to protect the people and not the adventurers

“There is nothing there… where did that sound co confused It wasn’t only them, most of the people that were in this restaurant decided to look outside There they only saw soround It didn’t seee in the vicinity, the only clue was the strange howling sound that caused so, cover your years!”

Senna shouted out which made Roland activate a protective barrier of blue ical attacks it would also work against shockwaves produced by sound He e soundwave connected with the surroundings that shattered all the s that had remained intact previously

“The hell is that co fro as he didn’t have ahis eardru fro by the destination it was co their view fro the port? Who would be duh to do that?”

Dalrak co his beard The city wasn’t se force of soldiers and tier 3 class holders protecting it Unless it was a large force of invaders they would not be able to survive the counterattack

“Could so off bombs as a distraction?”

Orson proposed a solution that was plausible but not very probable

“That doesn’t sound like bo from beyond the port Could a sea monster have appeared by the coast?”

Roland added his five cents as the strange sounds could be signs of a monster battle It wasn’t odd for shi+ps to be equipped with large cannons and h the shi+ps used various ways of hiding away froe monsters froation teae… wouldn’t there be sohted, would they be able to asseh to create these loud explosions?’

He didn’t like it, the whole thing was suspicious and it also see closer and more frequent which was probably about to cause soht decision, he needed to get to higher ground and see as happening

“Wait here, I’ll go check!”

Senna had apparently the same idea as Roland as she quickly jue clock tower that wasn’t that far He decided to follow the halfling and even though he could not just cli there was the usual way of doing it Thus after quickly running up soh to see as happening

“What the…”

The ot up there he had to activate theshockwave What he saw made his jaw drop as the various howls and explosions were not actually happening at sea level but up in the sky He had read about flying technology in this world, ravity

“Oh, you’re here Wayland?”

“Yeah… isn’t that a…”

“It does look like a Solarian Galley but what is that wor around it?”

What both Senna and Roland were seeing was a battle between a flying shi+p and so the Sun religion’s flag which was a dead giveaway to which faction it was associated with It was quite long and oldish metal that could perhaps be orichalcus but one of the

This creature was in the process of wrapping itself along this flying vessel Only thanks to so to squeeze was this shi+p able to not be crushed Yet while at first glance the ies fro into its darkened flesh

A wave of energy exploded fro the creature back It was forced to uncoil itself, probably saving its life in the process Thanks to this Roland was able to see this creature in its full glory

The creature had no eyes, only a huge mouth with a plethora of teeth at the front Its body was around three ti body was pitch black with various tentacles with some sorts of spikes that were concentrated closer to where that toothy mouth was Hoas able to traverse the skies was a lide

‘Wait… what is that?’

With the help of his hel place He was focused on the flyingits tentacles around while shaking itself off fro akin to thick straps made from some dark material

“Wait… is there a cabin strapped to that monster’s back? I can’t really ht, you have your spells That’s probably where the tae h level taave him an idea of what this could be but this also raised a lot of red flags The battle in the sky was continuing and the direction they were going was not the city but the forest where the cult’s relic was hidden After putting one and one together Roland realized what this was about

“Did the cult send this creature?”

“It ht be…”

Senna was of the sa battle that was now changing The shi+p started using its side cannons to pelt the h the creature was taking so limbs that it used as projectiles

“This doesn't look good It ht be better to leave this damn city before it’s too late…”

Roland nodded at the co further and further away froold ranked adventurers, anyone that was not a tier 3 class holder would probably be nothing but a meat shi+eld

He could only speculate about the flying shi+p and why it was there The relic in the forest was quite large with er as well, the church was probably intending to transport the runic device to a safer location The cultthis ht in the clouds wasn’t the only chaotic thing that was happening At this veryfrom the direction of the church An actual radiant barrier of bright orange appeared around the whole building The source seeainst any corrupted creatures that could appear
