Saga of Atlantis

Chapter 75  Destruction of Marinthalis City 2

"A tsunami", I mumbled, looking at the incoming colossal wave that felt taller than the largest building in this city.

"Not just a tsunami," I said, sharpening my gaze. The wave felt unnatural; the wave only covered a small part of the ocean, and that's not how a tsunami works.

I focused more, and there I glimpsed the solitude of a creature, a lurking presence within the wave that sent a shiver down my spine.

"Kraken", I mumbled, understanding what was going on. The dungeon outbreak happened 15 days before it was supposed to happen.

"Not like I didn't expect it".

I have changed many plot points of the event since I arrived in this city, and no way in hell will I relay the game's story. The only thing I can think of that will not change due to my interference is the main core point of the game. The rest of the story is bound to be affected just by my presence.

"Let's get the mobs out of here", I mumbled, turning my attention downward and observing the city below. Panic had taken over the civilians; their movements were erratic and disorderly.

The ground shakes beneath us, reminding us that the earthquake that accompanied the impending disaster was still their main focus. It was clear that the city was not aware of the upcoming tsunami.

"Sigh..."

With a sigh, I reached into my inventory and retrieved a wooden spear. As the situation below is right now, no one's going to listen to me. I need to make them stop panicking for a while.

*Snap*

With a quick, deliberate motion, I snapped the spear, breaking the upper, sharp part of it.

My gaze then shifted towards the central bell in the city square. The bell is only used as a symbol, but I have better uses for it.

Strengthening my muscles with aura, I leaned backwards, and with every ounce of strength gathered from my torso, I threw the broken spear with a force that sliced through the air.

"BANG!"

The sound of a bell reverberated through the chaos, capturing the attention of the scattered populace. The people below, disoriented by the impending threat, turned their eyes towards the source of the disturbance.

Taking advantage of the moment, I raised my voice by strengthening my throat muscle with Aura, shouting with an urgency that matched the incoming danger.

"Run! A tsunami is coming!"

My words echoed through the city—well, not really throughout the city, but enough for most of the people to hear.

Their initial confusion transformed into a sudden realization as the gravity of the situation settled in.

The urgency in my voice was enough for them to take action; like a chain reaction, a wave of movement surged through the panicked crowd. Their focus shifted as they started to run towards the main gate.

With a swift motion, I jumped down, grabbing the edge of the window, and moved inside the inn where Elysia, Nadya and Linda were present.

"We need to move out," I insisted as soon as I arrived in front of them.

"But didn't Lady Sylvia just order to be here?" Elysia countered, bringing my attention to her.

"I was shouting right above you: A fucking tsunami is coming. Let's go," I urged her as I moved towards the staircase.

"Lady Sylvia can take care of it," Elysia argued, and I was starting to have enough of her nonsense.

"Aren't you the smart one? Use your brain. You know what? Don't use it; just follow me." Grabbing her hand, I yanked her towards me, forcefully making her follow me. The rest followed us behind.

It wasn't that Elysia is dumb or anything; she just has enough faith in Sylvia that she can take care of the tsunami, and even I would have been chill instead of running if it was just a tsunami.

Sylvia is more than enough to stop it, but that is an ancient monster that was imprisoned for centuries and that she had to take care of. That monster is filled with madness and hunger; she won't have the time to look after us. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

As soon as we arrived outside of the building, I let go of Elysia's hand and looked towards Sylvia.

"Do your magic, Master", I mumbled, and as if she heard me, she looked towards me. The wave of the tsunami was just about to hit the city.

Sylvia stretched out her hand, and following her motion, the wind around us tightened. She then moved her hand upwards, and the wind beside us did the same, making us float in the air.

I looked around and noticed that around one-third of the city population was lifted into the air with us, and most of them were panicking. That was the reason I warned all of them about the tsunami, so they could come out of the house.

If any of them were hiding under a table or something, it would have only made Sylvia's work harder.

"Take care of them,"

My gaze returned to Sylvia as I heard her voice beside me. Looking into her eyes, I nodded my head, and with that, she waved her hand. The wind moved, sending us out of the city walls.

*Rumbling*

The wave hit the coastal area as all the buildings that were getting in its way were destroyed.

'She will need time to evacuate all of them', looking at the next batch of floating people, I thought to myself. During this time, the Kraken will have enough time to eat hundreds of people, and his target will be those who are in large groups.

"We need to move back!", I urged them as I remembered an unpleasant detail from the game.

"Why? Aren't we safe now", Elysia replied, and she is seriously getting on my nerve now.

"Someone might target you guys; we need to move", I said once again as I grabbed Nadya's hand, making her follow me.

"Who will target us? And why do you know that?" Elysia asked again, following us and Linda, who was on high alert after listening to me.

"Are you on your period?" I asked, glancing back at her.

"No!, You shouldn't ask a lady–", she replied, a little taken aback by my question.

"So why are you grumbling so much? Can't you be quite like Nadya? She is much better than you." I interrupted her, my words laced with frustration.

"We are surrounded", Linda's word brought us to a halt. All of us are on high alert now.

At first, there wasn't anything out of the place; everyone present here was panicking and running around, moving away from the city wall, but then I noticed a few people whose gazes were fixated on us; they weren't even trying to hide now as they started to move towards us. They soon encircled us.

"Looks like the tip was true: these little rats are really hiding here", the one at the forefront said out loud as he looked towards Elysia and Nadya.

I swiftly took out a spear from my inventory, and so did Elysia, taking out a spear from her space ring. Linda also took out her sword from her scabbard.

'Edda, show me his status', I thought, looking at the guy with a well-built body structure in front of us.

=======================

======================

For starters, fuck the guy who sent him to kidnap them. I mean, really, these 10 people were not enough. They even sent a person at level 8 here. Come on, he can become a Marquis with his power level, and here he is kidnapping little girls.

'And that bastard still hasn't arrived', I thought, remembering the guy from the dark church who kidnapped Nadya in the game.

'Linda can take care of the big guy; I should focus on the small fries.'

I thought as my gaze landed on her, she was the one at Level 8 and had the power to content him.

'Hmm?'

As we got into the battle stance, ready to confront them, my whole focus was on them, but then I felt a little movement around my legs.

"NEIL!"

Nadya shouted as she reached her hand out to grab me, but before I could understand what was happening, a sudden force grabbed me and three other members of the Noble faction, dragging us towards the city.

"FUCK!"

I cursed out loud as I understood what it was. The unpleasant detail that I remembered was the fucking tentacle of the kraken dragging people to eat them. I tried to move, but I was firmly stuck in one place with three more people.

"AHHH!"

"HELP!"

Looking around, I found hundreds of people wrapped around different tentacles, all moving in one direction.

Soon I crossed the city walls, and inside the city, what awaited me was an opened mouth with thousands of razor-sharp teeth.
