Chapter 622: Raising Pillars (1/2)
”Y-Yes, doctor!”
after being urged by Leon, the group of clansmen finally gave up on extracting every ounce of Holy Water left in the fountain.
”Quick, let us get out here! We've already stayed for too long!”
”Doctor, please leave with us! It's dangerous to stay here!”
The clansmen barked at each other to wrap things up to depart before urging Leon to leave as well.
”Oho, so you also know it's dangerous, huh? Since you know then why haven't you left yet?!” Leon snarled.
”R-right! We'll leave right this instance!”
Leon watched the clansmen pick up their pots of Holy Water and leave under the protection of the clan warriors.
Shortly after, Leon spread out his divine sense to search the area survivors that may have been overlooked.
”Seems like there isn't anyone left. Let us go too, Duna.”
”Okay, but I'm going to borrow your back.”
Duna suddenly hopped onto Leon's back weakly with her eyes closed before refining the True Grandmist Energy and beginning her self-repair process.
”Finally feeling the toll, eh?” Leon muttered before stomping the ground and shooting off into the distance.
Within moments, Leon returned to the exit point where many clansmen still queued up, waiting their turn to leave.
”Leon, Duna, you're both back!” Lilith approached with Jorn following behind from a distance before noticing Duna's state. ”Is Duna going to be alright?”
”Un. Nothing can happen to her with me around,” Leon stated confidently before asking, ”You were waiting for us?”
Lilith admitted with a silent nod before Jorn said, ”Since the people arrived, it's time for us to leave, Little Princess.”
”Alright.” Lilith nodded before frowning shortly after, ”However, there are still many clansmen here.”
”I'm afraid the dome would not hold until everyone gets out.”
”Come to think of it, the dome should have reached its breaking point and collapsed already,” Leon suddenly mentioned.
He realized the frame holding the place together was still breaking piece by piece.
”For this to be happening... The weight pressing down on this area must have been greatly reduced...!”
”That's right.” Jorn nodded before adding, ”We have another team working outside, removing the carcasses from this section to buy us more time.”
”Aria and Soft Feather must be lending their assistances on the surface as well.” Leon understood.
Boom!
A massive section of the dome suddenly collapsed on the other side of the clan, causing its surrounding parts to collapse with it.
”Talking about timing,” Leon muttered.
He watched the section above them being mildly affected by the big collapse in the other areas.
