Chapter 493: The night that will always come
: Boom -
It was nearing late August, and a sudden explosion sounded in the riverside area.
The deafening sound not only alerted the investigators and patrol officers in the city, but also ordinary spellcasters and Springs citizens were directly awakened from their sleep by the alarming noise.
Hurrying up in bed, Ronald grabbed a coat and rushed to the balcony. The sound of the explosion sounded far away, and the movement was definitely not something that ordinary casters could produce in a street fight.
Standing on the balcony, Ronald immediately saw an orange-red explosion wave lit up in the southwest of the city. Even the dark night sky was reflected like daylight by this exaggerated explosion.
Boom—
Suddenly, the orange-red color that began to weaken suddenly exploded again. The sound and power exceeded the last explosion. Countless red sparks dragged their arc-shaped tails and continued to scatter in the southwest of the city. to the surroundings.
In the dark night, a gorgeous flower symbolizing death and destruction is blooming.
From Ronald's safe position, he could feel the strong wind and vibration coming from the explosion!
"..."
After all, Ronald had just woken up from his sleep, and Ronald was still at a loss for a while.
He stared at the southwest for a moment, then bent his knees and jumped to the roof of the three-story apartment. From a higher position, Ronald saw the explosion over there more clearly.
At the same time, he also clearly felt it.
There were no large-scale magic fluctuations there.
"Its name is Styx,
and the black water flows down to the foot of the dark and steep cliff.
..."
Ronald activated the power of 'Rage' without hesitation, and then shifted the focus of all investigations To the southwest.
However, the result left him even more confused.
The southwest is now filled with pure wails and fear, as well as personal emotions that continue to be unresponsive in despair. Sudden explosions are wreaking havoc on people's lives, and almost no one can survive this disaster.
However, the problem is that Ronald did not notice the signs of fighting.
The quick-response people in the southwest had even begun rescue operations, but Ronald could not find any reaction to the battle.
"Ronald, what's wrong?"
Just when Ronald's eyes were blank, Heloise put on a skirt and turned over to the top of the building, then asked in a low voice next to Ronald.
"What the people of the Style School did, an explosion of this scale... can only be caused by the original magic of the mysterious side, right?" "
I haven't felt the magic yet..."
Ronald subconsciously wanted to answer Heloise.
However, mid-sentence, he suddenly shivered.
Hearing the words 'Only the original spells of the mysterious side', Ronald's memories before time travel were completely awakened. He had also seen explosions of this scale on videos on the Internet, even far better than explosions of this scale.
Chemicals, dust, high-explosive weapons, and even nuclear weapons...
any of these things can definitely achieve this level of destruction. Violent destruction and explosions are definitely not something that can only be caused by 'mysterious original spells'.
Things created by human beings in production activities.
Its power is far more terrifying than ordinary people imagine, and it also means unstoppable destructive power!
And think carefully about the urban planning of Springs.
To the southwest is the Springs Industrial Zone in the coastal area, where a variety of new factories stand. In this world where there is no sign of awakening environmental awareness, some factories that should be far away from human settlements are actually operating there day and night.
The system and consciousness are backward, and there is no complete worker training mechanism and safety system. After entering the industrialization era, it can only be said that it is completely inevitable that Springs will face such a crisis.
Maybe even one more sentence.
If there wasn't a mysterious side in this world that secretly controls everything, I'm afraid such a crisis would have erupted earlier!
Facing the unstoppable scene in front of him, Ronald couldn't help but murmured in a low voice:
"Is this world finally going to face these things..."
Hearing this murmur.
Heloise, who was still thinking about what school was causing trouble, immediately raised her head:
"Ronald, what did you say?"
Ronald immediately expressed his speculation:
"This matter may have little to do with the mysterious side of magic. , I think there was a major accident in the factory in the industrial zone. Heloise, I'm going to go over to see the situation first. Do you want to come with me?" "There
was a major accident in the factory...?"
Compared with those who had already made a conclusion in their hearts, Ronald and Heloise still had confusion and doubt about this matter on their faces. But the companion in front of her was inviting her, so she quickly nodded in response:
"Then let's go and have a look."
"Whether it's a factory or an original spell, I'm very curious about the situation." "
Be prepared for protection, we'll set off immediately ." Now I don't know if the problem is a chemical factory, so Ronald reminded Heloise first, and then recited the incantation from "Almagest", "From the understanding of the relationship between the entire earth and the sky. Departing will begin to form our cognition..."
[Epicycle] and [Derogene Chakra] are activated together.
Ronald casually arranged some black fog from hell to hide his figure, and flew towards the direction of the explosion with Heloise beside him.
Entering flight status, Ronald raised the position of the two of them for safety reasons.
In the air, which was much higher than the original apartment building, the two of them witnessed a tragic scene below.
Located about one kilometer from the seaside.
A place that was supposed to be a factory was completely surrounded by exploding fireballs, and the two people could not see through this layer of obstruction to see inside. Around the factory, the shock wave generated by the explosion immediately destroyed all the shoddy projects, and the scattered sparks continued to ignite new flames on the ground irregularly.
And this ruins that looked like they had just been bombed were still brightly illuminated by the huge fireball in the center that had not yet been extinguished. The whole scene was like hell showing the end of the world to the world.
Look at the scene below.
Heloise, who had undergone the most professional training, was also stunned.
"This...this...how is this possible..."
"It's really not the effect of the spell?"
Ronald looked back at Heloise.
For a normal mystical side magician, this is a picture that goes beyond common sense. Even though she had witnessed the terrifying power of "The Divine Hammer of Rain and Mist" on overseas islands, Heloise still could not adapt immediately to the tragic situation in front of her.
And as a person from modern society.
While facing this scene, Ronald found it difficult to explain to Heloise.
"Alas..."
He sighed slightly and began to lower the height of the two of them.
"We're going down."
"Look at this scene carefully."
