Chapter 29 31:Abysmal Descent[II]
TANG! TANG! TANG!
A bell of distress signal rang, sparking hope.
It was a sign of the City Lord taking the fort and commanding the city guards into motion.
Following it, a piercing voice rang out from above. "Warriors of Night Creak! Stand together!"
Soon, a figure flew into the air.
It was the City Lord, a towering figure with obsidian-black wings and piercing silver eyes, his voice booming over the chaos. He stood atop the highest fortress, his figure wreathed in dark, cursed flames, and his battle armor shimmered with enchanted runes. "Defend our city! Do not let this abomination run rampant!" he commanded, rallying his troops.
"Your sacrifices will be etched in the history of Night Creak and in the world of demons."
Without hesitation, the demon soldiers rushed to action, guiding the townsfolk to safety and forming ranks to defend the city.
A monster tide from the abyss, consisting of void lurkers, void growlers, and abyssal maws.
They had huge serpentine bodies, jagged teeth, and tentacles erupting like whiskers from the back of their maws, looking like miniature versions of the colossal monster.
Demons started to run around in a frenzy, but pieces of debris crashed into them, flattening them. The colossal monster sprawled forward, dragging its huge body through the houses, dismantling them.
"AHHHHH!"
"RUN!"
"RUUNNN!"
"Save me..."
Screams erupted as demons shoved one another to run away.
The City Lord turned to his commanders. "Organize the evacuation. Get everyone to the lower caverns!"
With swift precision, they sprang into action, and the City Lord himself stepped forward, unsheathing a massive, dark blade that shimmered with cursed power. His obsidian wings unfurled as he launched himself into the air, his presence formidable and commanding as he charged toward the beast.
Hovering above his troops, he raised his sword high. Dark energy crackled along its edge, radiating a powerful, cursed aura. "Face me, beast!" he roared, swinging the blade down and unleashing a surge of cursed fire.
"Is this the end of the world?"
"SAVE ME!"
"Ahhhh! Mamaaa!"
"Everyone, hold on, don't scream!" Gremlin shouted, trying to compose everyone alongside Saber, who suddenly paused to look at the boy of similar age who gazed through the gap in the ceiling with a trace of solemnity.
The situation was quite grave, so grave that chances... Knowing what was in store, I had already hardened my heart, but...
Looking back at the group of young ones, I wondered if I was too rash.
Can I even get out of this place alive without knowing the exact scenarios in detail? Everything that's happening now was a backdrop of cut scenes from Saber's past.
After staying here in this grim place, I didn't find it as hateful as I thought. It wasn't a gloomy place filled with outcasts, but rather a group of hopeful dreamers living every day while looking out for a better future.
Somehow, I developed a soft spot for them, and it was the same for Saber.
This rampage might have allowed Saber to break free in the original game, but looking at the situation, it seemed none of them survived except Saber.
So the question can I...no we survive.
However, no need to think so much.
"Lukas, you look so calm?"
Hearing Saber's voice, I spoke with a smile.
"It's here."
"What?"Gremlin and Saber asked.
"The opportunity to get out of here."
We will survive.
Because unlike the game I am here.
