Episode 131. Disaster vs. Human vs. Monster (2).

The multiple screens spread out in the sky seemed to be connected as if they were each shot from different angles of a single movie.

Amidst the great disaster that has swept over the world and the empire, humans who are trying to protect what is precious to them each stand in the way of monsters that are trying to invade the capital to cause even greater chaos.

Kael, who was looking at all of the screens at once, couldn’t take his eyes off one screen. Anyone who saw the main character on the screen he was looking at would say that it was a beautiful young man wielding a sword that shimmered with holy white light.

The ground shook so violently that it distorted the shape of the ground they were standing on, causing the flat ground to split and rise, and sometimes even collapse, creating holes.

[Everyone, be careful because if there is a place with weak ground, the ground will collapse!!!]

[The flying monster is a gargoyle!!! Its wings are thinner and weaker than they look, so aim for the wings first!]

A calm voice shouted from the screen.

The protagonist… no, Lars went ahead and led the knights who were with me. The knights who had lost their composure and were flustered due to his voice and actions began to gradually straighten their postures.

White afterimages were left wherever he went, and monsters that came rushing towards him turned to dust and disappeared before the swords of others could even touch them.

It was clear that he had never properly faced a monster in this life, but his black sword was precisely hitting the weak points of the monsters and cutting off their heads.

Looking at him like that, Kael slowly opened his mouth.

“Was there any information I didn’t hear?”

He soon shook his head as my voice dispersed through the air.

No, just in case something unexpected happened, didn’t you ask Jack everything in detail from A to Z? Just a few hours ago, up until this morning.

“The most likely possibility is regression.”

If he had regressed, why did he act the same way as before? Was the innocent look I had seen an act and not his true self? And… did he really regress only once?

As countless questions swirled through his head, Kael closed his eyes and took a deep breath. The scene on the screen, the place beneath his feet, was noisy.

Even though I thought about it like this, it was difficult to find a clear answer, so it was right for me to do what I had to do for now.

Even though he knew that, Kael had a hard time taking his eyes off the screen that was reflecting Lars, so he completely deleted the screen and turned his gaze to another screen.

[Wow, send us to the palace too!!!]

[Why did we come here?! Are we supposed to die?!]

If we were to pick the most serious of the remaining places, it would definitely be the shelter at the central fountain where the largest number of people were gathered.

The palaces and temples protected by magic were in no danger of collapse except for the ground, but the central fountain area was different.

The surrounding area was full of buildings, and the buildings were cracking and making a loud noise due to the continuous vibrations. The people facing the buildings that were shaking as if they would collapse at any moment were becoming more and more anxious and rough.

[Please do not leave your seat!!!]

[It is dangerous to move outside the shield!!! Everyone, stay in your positions!!!]

[If a bigger earthquake comes, we’ll all die!!! We’ll get crushed by the building, so please send us to a safer place right now!!!]

Among those who had been holding their assigned seats, one or two people began to get up and try to get out of their seats, and the others also began to squirm as if they had been incited by their appearance.

“It’s just one or two people like that that are the problem.”

People who are so scared of the horror they face that they can’t even think properly and want to escape their current situation.

– Kukukung!

Another strong vibration struck the ground, causing people’s bodies to shake. People moved and their formations were disrupted as screams and cries mingled and the water pipes rang, and cracks appeared not only in the buildings but also in the ground.

At the entrance, monsters were being cleared out one by one. They weren’t real monsters, but puppets controlled by someone, so if there was a chance that they would get hurt, the monsters would stop moving for a moment as if they were broken.

“then….”

Kael looked at the screen that showed Cloris trying to stop the moving people, and then disappeared into thin air. There was nothing left where he had been, not even the screen or the chair.

Kael, who appeared where the central fountain had been, stepped onto the ground that was shaking so much that it was difficult to keep his balance, unlike the calm skies above, and soon frowned and lifted his body slightly off the ground.

I wasn’t a huge fan of moving around in the air, but now it felt better than moving around on the ground.

“Get out of the way!!! I’m going to the palace!!!”

“The palace shelter is already over capacity!!!”

“Wouldn’t there be room for a few of us in that vast palace?! Even if His Majesty the Emperor says no, he wouldn’t abandon the imperial citizens who came all the way to the palace, so he’ll at least make room for us!!!”

Kael looked at Chloris, who was confronting the sturdy men without even knowing that he had come. The white staff in her hand was shaking gently.

The palace and temple were occupied by elderly people, children, and their guardians and women. Those at the central fountain were mostly men in their late teens to their forties and fifties.

It would have been nice to be able to evacuate everyone safely, but no matter how large the palace or temple was, there was a limit to how many people could be brought in and controlled, and so when deploying personnel, they had no choice but to send those who were physically stronger to this place.

However, most of the few wizards were stationed here.

Kael clicked his tongue lightly and walked towards Chloris, and relief and hope passed through the eyes of those who recognized him.

“No! The distance from here to the palace is by no means short, so you may get into trouble on the way there!”

Cloris was stubborn, and one of the men whose faces turned red and blue at the sight of her continuing to block them raised his hand, forgetting that the woman in front of him was a noble and that there were knights around her.

Even though he knew the hand was pointed at him.

Knowing that the hand would not strike her, that it would not even touch her body, Chloris faced the one before her without wavering.

But even knowing those facts, it wasn’t that it wasn’t scary. But… once one person started leaving, more and more people would continue to leave.

He was the one in charge of this shelter.

So, I couldn’t back down.

– Taaak!

At that moment, amidst the constant, deafening rumble of the ground and the screams of those who encountered it, and the occasional shrieks of those who shouted at the ground that shook violently, the sound of fingers snapping was particularly clear in Cloris’s ear.

“Ugh, aaaah-! What, what is it!!! Put me down right now!”

The body of the one who had raised his hand in front of Cloris was lifted higher than her height. The man struggled and screamed as his body was lifted without any warning. Only then did Cloris discover Kael, and Kael bowed his head slightly to her, standing in front of the man who was floating in the air.

“It seems like you want to get away from here and be safe, so I want to send you up to the safest place, the sky.”

Before the man could say anything in response to the voice that flowed out indifferently, his body shot up and with a scream, he turned into a black dot and was stuck in the sky.

For a moment, all sound except the rumbling of the ground ceased.

People’s gaze was turned to the sky, not to the shaking and splitting ground or the buildings that looked like they would collapse.

“If anyone wants to get out of here, let me know and I will send you up to a safe place with the author.”

Everyone knew that there was not a single lie in his words. Hadn’t he already shown it himself?

“Isn’t there anyone who wants to go up further?”

“… … .”

Kael continued speaking after looking around at those who had no answers.

“Unlike other shelters, there are buildings here, so I can fully understand the anxiety. I wonder when they will collapse. I’m afraid and scared of what will happen if those collapsed buildings fall on me and us.”

His voice, not very loud, reached everyone’s ears.

“That is why we stationed more people here than anywhere else. More than in the palace where His Majesty the Emperor resides, and more than in the temple where the High Priest resides.”

Phew… Kael let out a long breath.

“Those who are not here now are risking their lives to protect you from monsters at the entrance to the capital.”

When I told them a story that had not been told before, in order to make people even more anxious about the monster invasion, people were suddenly stirred.

Memories of that day, when the sky was covered with ideas, monsters, and meteors, came to mind.

“Yes, the idea you are thinking of took advantage of this commotion to send monsters. In the midst of this disaster, they are even trying to stop the monsters.”

“That… is a lie!!! Aren’t you just saying that to keep us here?!”

Those who could not easily believe his words raised their voices, and Kael’s gaze turned to the one who had spoken out among the many.

The man trembled as he stared into deep purple eyes that were as deep as an abyss.

“If you don’t believe me, I will take you to the entrance of the capital. I hope you remember that the reason I didn’t tell you in advance was to ease your anxiety a little.”

As he finished speaking, Kael slowly moved his hand so that everyone here could see the movement of his hand.

As his hand moved, people’s bodies rose slightly, and screams leaked out from various places for a moment, but soon they noticed the translucent ground supporting their bodies and looked at Kael.

“At this point, even if the ground splits, gushes, and collapses, you will be safe. Even if the building collapses, Lady Flora, the magicians, and the knights here will protect you from harm.”

Kael turned to Chloris and asked.

“Isn’t that right, Flora Youngae?”

“Of course, that’s why we’re here.”

At the unhesitating answer, Kael took a step forward, and his figure disappeared from the shelter. In an instant, the commotion died down.

Cloris stared blankly at the place where the one who had calmed the people had done things she could not do, ways she could not have thought of.

* * *

The place where Kael reappeared was the basement of the Damier family.

In the basement where the monster dolls were, Kael disappeared in less than a minute, and on the shelves where the dolls were lined up, especially the ones that were densely packed with high-level monster dolls, there was an empty space the size of a single doll.
