Chapter 258 [258] And Then It Happened.
?
"Thank you for your purchase!"
Sabrina left the clothing store after purchasing a lot of stuff.'
The ring was almost full at this point....and she was thinking of just buying a few more to completely fill it up.
[Spatial Ring]
Capacity:57/64
A spatial Ring created by Allan Peccator, It can store a maximum of sixty-four items regardless of size.
The weight of the ring will remain the same as an ordinary ring even if it is full.]
She was planning to fill the ring to the brim, and she will do so. If out of 64 things he did not like even a single thing...then maybe it would be pointless. But who cares?
She had enough money to not give a damn.
'...why am I even doing this?'
She wondered...what was the reason for her to go to such lengths? She didnt know.
"Hey...want some motivation?"
Suddenly, Elaine whispered into her ear.
Her voice was tempting and induced a certain curiosity in Sabrina that would not be quelled until she heard it.
"Now...Imagine someone like Alan, someone that tall and built as well...wearing what you want him to wear...It could be a buttoned shirt with dress pants, or a suit...
isn't that sexy?"
"..."
Ah, so it was just bullshit...
'...wait a minute.'
Sabrina...gave the idea some thought.
Someone as muscular...and tall as Alan Peccator...wearing Clothes she picked.
It could be a simple T-shirt with Khaki Jeans.
It could be a suit...
Or it could be the sexy Dark blue dress shirt with black dress pants...with no tie and the upper collar unbuttoned...along with the sleeves rolled up. Wearing black sunglasses as well.
Well, She'll be damned. She wanted to see that N.O.W.
"... thanks. For giving me an idea."
It was weird for Elaine to see THE Sabrina blush a little. She was oblivious that she had just given Her an Idea.
She was a teenage girl after all. And although past experiences had hindered her because of her eidetic memory. This was worth a shot. Alan wasn't like all the others anyway.
And so...she went inside the shop again.
"Hey, Wait for me!"
Elaine rushed after her. Mary had gone to the bathroom so the two were alone now.
"Oof!"
She bumped into Sabrina's back, who had suddenly stopped for whatever reason.
"What the hell? Why did you stop?"
Elaine asked in confusion. She had no chance to respond. She looked in front of Sabrina to see if she stopped because of something. But was confused when she saw nothing there.
And it was then that she looked at Sabrina's face. A face filled with confusion...but that confusion would turn into horror soon Enough.
"...The mana..."
Sabrina muttered...whilst Elaine tried to Understand her.
"Mana? What about Mana?"
She questioned, oblivious to the situation. She couldn't help it after all. Sabrina was extremely talented in anything related to Mana. Anything.
"... It's all moving...to one spot?"
Sabrina muttered...her face of confusion slowly turning into horror as she assessed the situation.
"What?!"
Elaine...hearing her was horrified.
'When the surrounding mana in an area all begins to move into one spot. It coagulates and forms something that you should know pretty well. It combines at one spot and forms a dungeon. The cause of this is still unknown why Mana just suddenly decides to do this. But we can accurately measure what type of dungeon is based on the environmental specialties and the type of attribute mana in abundance. Whatever element is more abundant. It is most likely that the dungeon will be related to it. And the amount of mana that is coagulating...determines the strength and grade of the dungeon being formed.'
She remembered a lecture in Shield...about the theory of dungeons and the effect of the environment on Dungeons...and what was happening now was truly it.
"Kya!"
A gust of mana collided with them, it was like the wind itself. Like a typhoon it merged at the center of the mall, on top of a fountain.
Both of them fell down as the wave of mana rushed forth. Other people, especially non awakened would think it was just a gust of wind...before they could even wonder why there was a gust of wind inside the mall. all hell would already be loose.
Standing up and looking down at the fountain on the bottom floor, Sabrina shouted with all her might.
"GET AWAY FROM THE FOUNTAIN!! NOOOOWWWW!"
She had amplified her voice with her own mana. And a lot of people heard it. Before they could question why she was screaming, the mana in the form of Wind had coagulated...and then it was done.
A dungeon had formed inside the mall, in one of the most populated areas of Aror.
*BOOOM!*
*******
[At Cafe le Peccatoria]
Emma was humming as she brewed coffee whilst Mathew Peccator, Alan's Grandfather took orders from new customers.
"Done."
She said and placed an order from one of the customers in a tray. Before picking it up and going to deliver it.
Mathew was also busy with work. There had been a large influx of customers ever since Alice And Kazikato were here. There were some fans and most shockingly, even some residents who were here to express thanks to them if they came once again.
This was all because the region In twilight's control was getting better and better by the day. Illegal operations were busted and the living conditions improved. Twilight had set up shelters and welfare centers as well. Most of all, Tax was lowered and The security provided by Twilight was great. Crime had been reduced 'by 60% in the area because Twilight Awakened would patrol the streets. Sometimes people would even give them gifts.
'I'm glad things turned out well.'
Mathew thought in his mind, He was worried that the guild wouldn't be welcomed. But whoever was managing this branch had a good head on their shoulders. Most awakened guilds would ignore the people because they didnt see them as a priority. But it seemed like the top 10 was different. They treated Normal people and Awakened with little difference and also tried a lot to adhere to the demands of the people. Even the Awakened from Twilight treated everyone with respect.
IT sure did go a long way. Most awakened in Aror were arrogant and treated people like trash. Awakened trained by large guilds were more well-mannered. It was mostly because the Guilds had a reputation to uphold, and they weren't lacking awakened as opposed to the guilds in Aror, who would turn a blind eye to the actions of their awakening. Unlike the major guilds...whose awakened were more on edge in fear of losing their job.
eaglesnov?1,?o? Whilst everything was flowing smoothly in the cafe...The HoloVision(Futuristic Television) channel suddenly changed.
"Alert! There has been a dungeon break in the Silver Mall, the Silver Wolf guild has issued a red alert. The rank of the dungeon is still being estimated and Awakened from the liver Wolf guild is on its way. A Barrier of Wind has been erected outside the mall, trapping those inside and restricting entry. Civilians are advised to hide and go to shelters. Awakened nearby, please give aid."
The attention of the people was drawn towards the Holovision and they muttered.
"The Mall?"
"Shouldn't we run?"
"It's an hour away from here on the train, we're pretty safe. besides this is Twilights area."
They muttered among themselves. Emma stared at the Alert with worried eyes.
'I hope it isn't serious...'
She hoped...but who would hear it?
The cafe was relatively calm, mainly because the mall was far away from here and the dungeon break was in the area of the second strongest guild, The SilverWolf guild of Aror. Although the ranks may need to be changed because of the emergence of twilight. That was a separate matter.
*Thump!*
Emma dropped the tray because of the sudden noise, and as she looked at where it came from. The door leading to the employee's break room...She found Sir Mathew missing.
"The Hell? Why did Mathew run into the break room? He needed to take a shit that bad?"
Someone muttered, judging by his tone it seemed as if he was a regular here.
They were unaware that the reason was far more serious than they had imagined.
******
A Panicked and worried Mathew went into the break room and locked the door behind him.
He hurriedly removed the carpet on the floor, The sense of urgency in his actions was dire as his face was struck with horror.
A hidden latch door was revealed under the carpet, one that was made of pure metal and had a passcode lock on it.
Mathew hurriedly entered the passcode and retrieved a box as large as his body from Inside.
Mathew was old, Although not at the age where he would be at death's door. There was a secret of him that only his Wife and deceased son knew...No one else, not even his grandchildren was aware of.
He belonged to the SNAMHF[ Special Non awakened Monster Hunting Forces.]
A unit in the United world Army that had long since been decommissioned, and it's members spread apart...
It was a unit consisting of Non-Awakened People that had been trained to their utmost peak physical state and provided with the best gear for taking down Monsters.
He was a former member, And he still had his gear. He was in the process of equipping it.
Amanda Peccator And Samantha Peccator, His wife and Grandaughter, had gone to that same mall today...And he just got his family back...
He wasn't losing it this time.
