Chapter 621: Unexpected Rescue (1/2)
Even after Lord Bahlzacs is dead, Duna did not spare his corpse. Just looking at the person's motionless body causes her to frown as she recalls the person's lustful gazes.
With a flick of her other hand, she destroyed the person's lower body with the power of Destruction Law.
Upon seeing this sight as he quietly arrived beside Duna, Leon could not help but flinch slightly as if he was the one getting his balls destroyed by her.
”There's no need to keep attacking. He is already dead,” Leon said with a forced smile before lifting her hand and admonishing her, ”Look at yourself. You're being overly reliant on the Destruction Law.”
”It doesn't really matter. I know you'll still be around to fix right up. Isn't that right?” Duna gave Leon a suggestive look while licking her lips.
Still, Leon smiled wryly in response.
”Don't think that your trick will always work on me. At least, not with your hands looking like this,” he pointed at her missing hands.
”What hands?” Duna waved her handless arms playfully in front of Leon.
Leon could not help but shake his head and sighed while transferring some Grandmist Energy to Duna, ”My power isn't always readily available. Please stop getting yourself hurt.”
”Hm, alright. I'll keep that in mind.” Duna stated after a slight paused.
As time slowly passes, more and more carcasses began to drop inside the clan, and the damage in the dome started to spread faster on its own, being unable to support the weight.
”Come, we need to leave. The structural integrity of the dome has already been compromised due to your previous attack.”
”Mm.” Duna nodded.
...
At the same time, the clansmen began to speed up their evacuation with fear and alarm despite their feelings of weakness due to the widespread disease.
”Hurry! This place is about to be buried! Move faster! What are you waiting for?!”
”Ahh! Faster, faster! The sky is falling! The rats are raining!”
The clansmen, young and old, all urged the people in front of them to move quicker with impatience.
Thud! Thud!
The rat carcasses dropped like hammers, smashing on top of buildings and roads, even fellow clansmen.
The weak and unfortunate were heavily injured after being struck while the strong sought to protect them.
”Be quicker! This place isn't going to last much longer!” Jorn and Lilith arrived at the exit point and frowned at the long queue of clansmen waiting to get outside.
”Uncle Jorn, the passage is too narrow. If it could be widened, more people would be able to evacuate at once.”
”I'll quickly arrange people to the task at once.” Jorn nodded.
Shortly after, Jorn hollered for all the Transcendents to gather. Whether they were warriors or aristocrats, all of them had to contribute.
The Transcendents were divided into two groups; one big and one small.
The small group was responsible for increasing the size of the exit passage while the other group protected the clansmen from the falling carcasses and dome fragments, which were made from the bones of beasts.
”Don't think that I have forgotten the matter of the Holy Water Fountain. I will deal with all of you after,” Lilith said with her narrowed eyes, gazing at the group of aristocrats who had been with Lord Naargoc.
”Yes, Your Highness...” The aristocrats shivered slightly.
Although the monopoly of Holy Water was Lord Naargoc's idea, they were accomplice for silently agreeing and not persuading Lord Naargoc otherwise.
Shortly after, the group of low-level aristocrats followed the clansmen to evacuate.
”Your Highness, what about Lord Naargoc's son? Do you need me to...” Jorn made a slicing-neck gesture.
However, Lilith furrowed her brows and said, ”We'll deal with this matter after getting clansmen to safety outside.”
”That being said, I distinguish between punishment and reward fairly. I heard Lord Naargoc's son was the only one who tried to persuade Lord Naargoc?”
”Yes, that seems to have been the case from what I have heard as well,” Jorn nodded, recalling some clansmen mentioning about it back then.
”However, we will still need to validate the truth of what happened back then before I pass judgment,” Lilith said.
After all, what they heard were only soft discussions in passing. Neither of them had been present to witness the entire event from the start.
”Little Princess, there is no need for you to stay back here where it is dangerous. How about waiting outside where it is safe instead?” Jorn suggested.
Lilith glanced around the crowd for a moment before she replied, ”Not yet. Let me wait a bit longer for my friends.”
”Fine. But if the situation deteriorates to a dangerous level before they arrive, I will take you outside,” Jorn stated.
”That's fine with me.” Lilith nodded.
...
”This seems to be the opposite direction of the exit, no?” Duna casually stated while following Leon's lead.
The exit was still in sight at their previous location. But now? They were getting further and further away. Or rather, they were returning to their original location.
