Chapter 125 Underground Shelter
Chapter 125 Underground Shelter
As Logan was fighting his own battle, Rubina quickly reached the center of town.
She had ridden her father's mount, Ruben, on War using a pre-made self-adjusting saddle, one of two he had since he wanted to gift the other to his girlfriend.
This time, though, Marie used the saddle on Solar, who was leading the team as they entered the town.
Nocturn followed close behind, looking for any signs of infiltration. It had yet to need to fight but kept itself busy nonetheless.
Explosions and fighting could be heard outside the town, making them have to hurry as the population was slowly entering a state of chaos.
Rubina took out a communication device and a megaphone.
She needed to start giving everyone orders and directions as most did not know what to do.
People were going crazy as yells and screams were heard throughout the place.
Although no notable damage was happening, they knew that the unrest from the alarm would cause such things within the population.
It did not take long for a few soldiers to start calming those who were too loud and began preparing to guide people to the barracks for protection.
Rubina knew that Logan needed help, so she had to hurry to gather and guide the people. She also needed to send Logan's tamed beasts back to help him in the fight.
For instance, Terra, the large worm, was still on standby and would be useful if any real danger came to the town.
She had dug tunnels that would be useful for guiding people safely.
"Everyone, calm down! Lord Logan has created tunnels for this situation. Follow me; we will guide you to safety!" Rubina yelled. Seeing as it was dark, she commanded Uriel to create flames that would light the way.
"People, calm down! We need order!" they heard a soldier nearby call out in exasperation. Seeing that they needed help, Marie knew she needed to use her magic.
As the townspeople panicked in the face of the loud alarms, Marie made a radiant figure appear in the sky.
The image she wanted to use was of an angelic being that descended from the sky.
Taking out a large mana crystal, she began concentrating on her particular illusion magic to create a big show over them.
She groaned a little as she overloaded the crystal with the image she tried to picture in her mind.
Marie slowly created a bright figure, with various white wings that overshadowed the dark night and moons.
As the wings spread, they released feathers that glowed like miniature stars.
It had a majestic halo hovering over her head that had a beautiful, sculpted face whose features were hard to see as a strong light like sun shone over it, calming all who saw the vision almost instantly.
Her divine presence helped Rubina, who kept yelling out orders to calm down and begin guiding the townspeople into an underground tunnel that led everyone near the mansion and into the barracks. Stay tuned to My Virtual Library Empire
As they waited for everyone to finish entering the tunnel, the group of three kept hearing various explosions on three sides of the large walls in town.
Out of the three, they could see Silis's large form in the distance.
Scorch's flames, which created an inferno was also visible on another side of the great wall.
As for the third side where Logan had run off to fight, they saw tornados blowing small figures around and an ice storm that caused snow to its surroundings. Even at their distance, they could see small flakes of ice falling near the town.
Rubina wanted to join Logan just to know that he was safe but kept giving orders to the townspeople who kept an orderly line thanks to the figure in the sky.
"Say, Rubina, I think we are almost done. Do you think we should stay here, or should we join them in hiding?" Ruben asked. He might not have been a fighting-type hero, but his stats made him no less strong than Logan's powerful Hog. He had even created a large Warhammer in case things like this happened.
"Let's go with the townsfolk. There are enough soldiers here to help those who stayed behind. As for the tunnel, it will be closed after we enter," Rubina said while also telling Nocturn to keep an eye on the town just in case.
The group of three entered the long tunnel that used mana crystals to light the path, something Logan planned as he saw the live crystals absorb surrounding mana to keep growing.
As his creatures got stronger, Logan noticed that the mana around his town had been enriched somehow.
This helped the small crystals, no larger than his fist, to grow abnormally fast.
They were currently as big as an American football, each glowing in a different color, which was also something they needed to re
"Hey Terra, can you help Silis? They seem to need help. Take War, Uriel, and Solar with you."
Rubina also wanted to join, but they needed her here now that their force was slowly being spread out throughout the fight.
