Surviving As An Extra In Fantasy World Isn't Easy-Chapter 192:Prelude Of Chaos[2]
Chapter 192:Prelude Of Chaos[2]
"Run to the safety area."Frederick didn't scream it openly but everyone could understand that you can live as long as you can reach there.
Rose, Helena, Monica and Humphrey reacted swiftly and without needing to say anything, and made their way.
Following them, others screamed frantically while running away as fast as possible.
"Run!"
"Run!"
"Godd…..Why is this happening to me?"
The remaining students ran for their lives under the waves of the aftermath of fights assaulting them.
Charles, who was about to run, saw Tiffany standing there with a dazed expression.
Sensing a mass of destructive energy, Charles's eyes narrowed slightly. Forming a whip made out of rocks, he shot it towards Tiffany and pulled her towards him after which the ground at the place was pulverized and obliterated.
Tiffany's body shuddered and she was startled as she flew towards Charles who caught her swiftly.
"What are you standing there for? Let's run."Charles shouted seeing Tiffany's colourless expression.
"I...I..sprained my ankle previously."Tiffany spoke in a small voice lowering her head with a blush.
Charles squinted her eyes and noticed a huge swollen bulge over her ankle that was even noticeable through her shoes.
It didn't seem like a simple sprain.
"Okay."
"Huh!"
Under Tiffany's bewildered haze, Charles lifted her and holding her in his arms, he sprang into action.
Parth and Axel who saw this scene looked beside them and question marks appeared over their heads.
"Wasn't this guy standing beside us? When the hell did he go there?"Parth screamed and added.
"I am also thinking the same."Axel tilted his head in confusion.
"Did he just choose hoes over bros?''
'Hey, don't say that. Tiffany is a good girl. Don't demean girls like that."Axel reprimanded, folding his arms.
"Huhh!!That…"Parth felt weird being scolded by Axel.
"How did you know that?"
"Instinct…Instinct of a man."
'Don't people say he is dumb? However, why am I feeling that this guy is more of a man of culture than I am?'
BOOM!
A loud crackling sound echoed like fireworks.
"By the way bro, shouldn't we run?"Parth asked.
"Yes, we should."Axel nodded his head with an understanding look.
"Then why aren't we running?"
"Tha…"Axel stuttered a bit and then answered while scratching his cheek.
"That's a good question."
''Let's run." Axel said.
"Wait! We need to take Lucas."Parth stopped his feet and turned towards Lucas who was still squatting down with a frozen atmosphere. 𝙗𝒆𝙙𝙣𝒐𝙫𝙚𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝒎
...…..
Lucas, who still sat squatting at the place where they killed the Ice Witch, just watched the series of events that transpired with a blank expression.
He looked indifferent but his clenched fist was trembling slightly and his eyes were shaking.
The moment Safrina tore her chest, Lucas immediately wanted to scream that he quit.
He knew trouble was in the way.
He wanted to escape this place.
But he couldn't open his lip due to his body having frozen and was in the state of frostbite as cold mana had invaded his body when he used Mana Devour and froze him.
For a few moments, he couldn't even feel his body. In such a paralyzed state, he feared that even a small splinter might kill him by rupturing his neck.
Moreover, the recent events had shocked him to his core.
The plot….the plot deviated way too much.
Till now, many events deviated from their original but all of that which happened didn't deviate much from the original until they interfered to pull up the events.
The orphan incident happened because they delved deeper instead of retreating and the Church scenario occurred because they visited it earlier. If they hadn't interfered thoroughly, it wouldn't have gone astray to that extent.
However, this time what happened was something unbelievable.
Those damned people entered The Tower.
No matter how many scenarios he envisioned, he did not expect that.
Bypassing the Tower of Miracles isn't as easy as it sounds. The planning done behind the scenes and the minds put together to execute all this was too terrifying that it chilled his heart.
The outside of the Tower would have already been attacked and filled with chaos. When Frederick and others would leave the Tower after winning, they would be greeted by a group of people thirsting for their lives.
In the plot, Duke Frank, Duke Kai and the Emperor did not appear in the Tournament.
The Emperor was supposed to join during the Third Year event of the Tournament so without their power, it was very hard to segregate the common people and group of offenders leading to a large-scale massacre.
But now, the presence of those Powerhouses would foil the Omen's plan.
Thinking about the events happening before him, Lucas was sure...no he was damned sure that the plan of Omen had been revised and it was them who pulled these people of Dark Church and these weren't just any normal people but the upper echelon of Dark Church.
That blood Chalice was supposed to be used in the Second Year and was the same artifact stolen from Alphonso and needed a sacrifice to get activated but it is used now and the bloody tattoos with thousands of red symbols on David were drawn from an SS rank artifact that takes sacrifice to conjure a ritual to form a portal connecting to the place the artifact is placed.
With the chalice creating a whole independent place to put a restriction on the Tower, you can use artifacts of higher level as you wish and now if you die, you die for real.
The lowest level of the people that enter here was at 6-Star and that man named Calvin, Lucas couldn't feel his level but as per he knew he was a Deacon or Elder though he was fodder that was supposed die under Church's relentless pursuit lead by Luna and Frederick during the Third Year at the Church of Damita.
However, Lucas didn't know the reason for his appearance here.
Unlike Omen, The Dark Church doesn't carry out meaningless slaughter or attack just for fun. They always have a clear goal and insight.
Their goal to attack Luna was to use her as a sacrifice but unknowingly they found that Luna had an Angel of Light as their guardian beast.
'What did they want here?'
'Did they come for Julian's unawakened Guardian Dragon or Frederick Thunder Loach? And how did they know that they had guardian spirits.'
'Maybe they knew it from the remnant of Julian's mana during The Church incident where her Dragon spirit awakened for a moment.'
Upon connecting one dot to another and the way things unfolded, Lucas felt the enormous pressure of a shadow that hung behind him and played them within their palm.
'The plan...The entire plan for this incident had been revised. Since we acted early Omen must have come up with counter plans and they even pulled the Dark Church into the play but Omen doesn't have....'
A sudden memory of a grey hairy man appeared in his head accompanied by a head-splitting headache.
Lucas' back was drenched in cold and the cold words of a person resounded in his ear.
"Azrail."
A blurry shadow invisible to anyone seemed to materialize around Lucas and bending down started to whisper in his ears.
[I don't partake in anything but I am behind everything.]
[I create puppets of chaos for the world to ponder.]
[Letting the good people watch the wonder.]
[I set the stage for others to play.]
[I pull out the fake mask of sanity and give them a chance of freedom, letting them unhinged by this world's fake chain of morality.]
