Chapter 444 Catastrophe
-----
While Mary approached the young Lord Eastgrain and a scene we never saw coming unfolded before our eyes, I felt a strange premonition. I saw two seconds in the future through my eyes out of nowhere, without even activating the Skill beforehand, and saw a woman entering the door and being shredded into pieces by a gigantic claw.
BAAAM!
And right as I saw it a few seconds in the future, the maidservant entered, crying while being covered on wounds and blood. Without thinking it twice, I ran towards her and enhanced by body with my Beast Spirit Aura!
"My lord, something is- HYAAA!"
Without hesitation, I grabbed the girl's waist and pulled her to the side, quickly saving her from an enormous claw falling from above her.
CLAAASH!
The ground shook, as cracks emerged everywhere. My parents and everyone else panicked. The furious draconic eyes of a creature suddenly peered into the room.
"GROOOAARRRR!"
"That's… a wyvern?!" Shade asked.
"ROAR!"
Without even waiting for our proper reaction, the enormous beast opened its gigantic jaws, charging mana within…! Wait, is it about to unleash a fire breath attack?!
FLASH!
However, in a split of a second, my father reached the wyvern's side.
"HAAH!"
SLASH!
His blazing sword unleashed a storming attack, impacting the wyvern's neck and slicing through its hard scales and flesh cleanly, blood spurred everywhere like a fountain!
SPLASH!
"W-What is happening?!" Mist quickly grew nervous as she saw everything happening.
"M-Monster?!" The Lord cried, quickly falling off his chair.
"Lord Eastgrain!" Mary cried, extending her hand to the lord to help him stand back up again.
Crack… crack…!
And then, we heard that sound.
That horrible sound that brought so much pain and destruction back then.
CRASH!
Space itself shattered right behind Lord Eastgrain and in front of Mary, as countless red eyes peered through, the presence of even more monsters seemed to be approaching.
But why?!
Why is there a Dungeon Break right inside this damn house?!
CLASH!
"UUAAGGGH…!"
"GYAAAAH!"
Lord Eastgrain and Mary were cut into pieces by enormous draconic claws and giant jaws tearing them into shreds.
No…
NO!
FLASH!
Suddenly, I went back to the present.
It was yet another vision?!
"FUROH!"
I quickly summoned Furoh, as he emerged right before me as space itself began cracking and shattering behind Eastgrain.
CRASH!
"Eh?!"
"A-A Dungeon Break?!"
Without even thinking it for a second time, I infused Mana into Furoh, as he swiftly extended his tentacles and grabbed Eastgrain and Mary, putting them into safety before several claws and the heads of draconic beasts emerged. They were all belonging to a single, enormous beast that stepped inside in a mere split of a second!
"ROOOARRR!"
That was definitely a Hydra!
Everything was happening so fast that only my own special Future Sight was giving me the insight to act and save the lives of these people.
However, after my father slain the giant wyvern that had gotten inside the house, an enormous mass of shadow extended over the entire floor, grabbing the unconscious aristocrats in the floor before the giant Hydra were to devour them like snacks.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
Suddenly, I saw several rays of light impacting the beast while I ran away with Furoh on his Fenrir form while carrying Eastgrain and Mary. It was mother, she unleashed a barrage of light rays against the Hydra, whose entire body began to be filled with enormous holes, and quickly created a commotion, shaking the entire house due to the sheer size of its body.
BAAAAM!
"We have to get out of here! Spatial Blink!"
My mother quickly activated her Ring's powers, teleporting us outside of the house, as we arrived at the house's gardens!
FLASH!
The imagery of what was happening was now clear to us, as an enormous Dungeon Break portal had emerged right in front of the house of the Eastgrain Lord, while several smaller ones were spread all over the Noble District! Monsters were crawling everywhere, giant wyverns, enormous three-headed chimaeras, giant birds with sharp beaks, large hydras walking around and destroying entire houses with their big, over ten-meter big bodies, and even goblins were doing as they pleased!
"Not again!" Aquarina cried in despair.
"A-A Dungeon Break, here?!" Zack panicked.
"This is… Could it had been set up by the Cultists?" Asked Nepheline, quickly summoning her rock hammer.
"Probably! I can sense the presence of several suspicious items around, and some people with blue and black robes over there!" Shade pointed out at a large group of people close to the house, who were hunting down the nobles running away.
Guards and soldiers stationed here were all getting easily massacred by these monsters, which were all high ranked monsters above Tier 4! Was there no elite fighters in the soldiers of this country? This place is really decadent!
"There's no time to think about this now, we have to wipe out the monsters and capture the cultists, quick!" My mother ordered everyone. "Sylphy, Aquarina, Zack! You three make a team with Ninhursag and protect Mist, Mary, and Eastgrain."
"Wait! Can't shade save them inside his shadows?" I asked.
"No, my shadow storage already reached a specific limit, more people will end up being too much of a burden for my fighting style. I trust you, Sylphy." Shade said. "Aquarina, remember our training!"
"Yes papa!" Aquarina said, taking out her two daggers.
"Faylen, you stay with everybody else, you can't come with us, you're pregnant!" My father said.
"Ugh… Fine, but you can bring my spirits with you! You, Shade, and Nepheline, prioritize saving the people! Nobles might be bastards but they're still innocents, this is an attack specially targeted towards them. If they die, it means we'll lose to these cultists." My mother made up her mind.
"Got it!" My father nodded, as he, Shade, and Nepheline quickly disappeared like flashes of bright light into separate directions. Each one of them accompanied by a mystical and bright spirit that my mother summoned.
