:::[Third person POV]:::

Before the second portal opened, Julius was feeling hopelessness, anger, and regret surging from deep inside his heart.

He held his beloved wife in his arms but her smile was gone and was replaced by a face full of agony.

'How did it come to this?'

Julius thought, cursing his negligence and the fact that he didn't even think about the probability that a high-level artifact could be used in such a way in broad daylight without anyone noticing.

"Marie, hang in there. A healer! Quick, I need a healer!"

Julius shouted at the top of his lungs but the turmoil overwhelmed his voice, and since people were busy trying to save their lives, most of them didn't even twice before running away as fast as they could, ignoring the injured ones.

In his anguish, another thought crossed Julius, and then looked around, his heart almost stopped after seeing Adam lying on the ground helplessly.

"Wha-what happened? Adam!!?"

He couldn't leave his wife alone, but his son looked like he was about to die in front of his eyes, and even though Julius was a mentally strong person, at that moment, he didn't know what to do.

The chaos, the sounds, the smell of blood, the clouds of dust, everything made him lose his ability to think rationally.

But when he was in a state of desperation, a voice came from behind him.

"I shall help Lady Marie," Sister Gracia said, approaching Julius who was in a state of indescribable shock, and the tough-looking priest next to her annihilated the monsters around them. "This is a delicate process. Marcel, no one should interrupt it," She added.

Marcel was a level 7 gift holder, and he was about to overcome the barrier between level 7 and level 8, so it would be no exaggeration if someone said that he was the strongest person present on the planet at that moment.

"I understand," Marcel answered with a deep and calm voice then more than fifty cross-shaped beams of lights appeared around him.

He was very efficient at controlling the primordial particles surrounding him, and since the light particle was more abundant than the other particles, it gave him more options in defending and attacking, but his biggest advantage as a light elemental user was his speed of attack. 𝗳r𝗲𝙚w𝐞𝚋𝘯𝚘ѵ𝗲l.𝑐om

Marcel waved his hand and the beam of lights moved around the area at an incredible speed, penetrating hundreds of monsters and killing them instantly, and because the light elemental attribute had great destructive power, only slightly inferior to the fire attribute, and a wide range of attacks, he could deal with multiple monsters at once.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

While Marcel was eliminating the monsters that approached them, Gracia took off her special glove and began to heal Marie, using her particular gift that could restore things she touched to heal Marie.

Julius looked so worried as he watched the process but he couldn't do anything. "I leave her in your hand," he said, feeling a bit powerless then he tried to go to check out Adam's state but suddenly, he heard an ominous sound behind him, and when he turned back, his face turned pale.

"Protect the Lord!" The head of the shadow Corps and the Royal knights were among the first people who reacted as soon as they realized what was happening.

Sylvestre used his lightning elemental power and slashed the monsters around Julius and Marie with a sword made of Stellarium, and using his momentum to create a huge shock wave, he sent the monsters flying away.

Stellarium was one of the rare metals that be used used to absorb, store and control primordial particles, then compiled them into powerful elemental attacks that could inflict damage up to ten times more than normal ones, that was why gift holders below level 8 like Silverstre tended to use weapons made of Stellarium when fighting monsters.

"Filthy monsters," shouted Silvestre, realizing that he was one step too late, "how dare you!!!"

The cracking sounds of lighting resonated around the area and then the thunderous impact struck the monsters.

Sylvestre was a level 7 gift-holder and he could efficiently control the lighting primordial particles inside of his body and in his surroundings, creating an area of effect but He was still far from rising to level 8 which was seemingly a world apart from his level.

Nevertheless, his current power was not something to scoff at because the lightning elemental gift had great destructive power and it also increased the holder's level of mobility when they reach a certain level like Sylvestre.

Slah! Slash!

As for Brad, the head of the Shadow Corp, he quickly assisted Julius and protected Marie by rapidly eliminating the monsters with one-hit-kill attacks.

His darkness elemental gift was perfect for assassination and sneak attacks because darkness elemental particles had the particular characteristic of absorbing other elemental particles that came in contact with it, making it hard to defend against the sneak attack of someone who possessed this elemental gift.

Moreover, when the holder of this type of elemental gift reached level 8 or higher, they could create a certain area where other people wouldn't be able to control the primordial particles efficiently.

However, the holder had to reach a certain level to be able to use it in daylight when light particles which were the most abundant primordial particles in the universe were active, but obviously, the opposite could also happen during nighttime and it would be the light and other elemental gift users who needed to reach a certain level to avoid being overwhelmed.

Since Brad was a level 7 gift holder, he could slice monsters which were mostly made of primordial particles as easily as slicing a piece of bread, but it was apparent that the darkness elemental gift lacked pure destructive power at the level and his area of effect was greatly limited in daylight.

Boom! Boom!

The situation quickly escalated to an all-out battle against monsters in which Brad and Sylvestre continued to demonstrate their power and killed as many monsters as they could.

The rest of the Royal Knights and the shadow corp also joined the battle and even though most of them were level 4 and 5 gift holders, they were still of great help to the normal soldiers who were giftless and were tasked to evacuate the guests and t civilians he proa safer place.

Nonetheless, the situation was dire and it took a certain amount of time to evacuate people a certain artifact was needed to close the portal permanently.

Unfortunately, the situation became more alarming and desperate when a second portal appeared even though a single one was already hard to deal with.
