Chapter 517.1

At the Airfield (2)

A heavy, gut-wrenching thud echoed through the air.

Flames erupted, and at the same time, debris scattered over a wide area.

The explosion occurred at a control tower-like structure attached to the airfield.

Followed by an ear-splitting scream.

People were burning in the fire that was fueled by the explosion.

Smoke from the explosion and the collapse of the structure rapidly deteriorated visibility.

“Tsk...!!!”

I hit and smashed the chunks of debris that flew towards me, and then generated chunks of water one after another with primordial magic, and splashed them on those whose bodies were on fire, extinguishing the fire.

The explosions themselves had stopped, but my [Crisis Perception] skill continued to tell me of the surrounding threats, and more than anything, my five senses were telling me that this was not the end.

I had already noticed that the evolution of my race had made my perception more acute, but now I could experience this change in a very tangible way.

“No, if I’m the first one to evacuate under the current circumstances, it might create troublesome rumors! Besides, there is no safer place than Yuki’s side!”

“I’d like you to evacuate first as well though, you know?” (Yuki)

“No, Yuki, but thank you! I’m sure I promised to help you with this problem not long ago!” (Finar)

“I didn’t expect them to move earlier than expected...!” (Yuki)

After receiving a few more commands from Finar, his subordinates immediately started to take action.

In the blink of an eye, they took control of the airfield guards, who had been caught off guard by the situation and were still unsure of what to do. Next, they focused on evacuation and rescuing the injured people. With the Demon King Finar at the head, everyone was moving in an organized manner.

He certainly had some great leadership skills.

I guess I could leave this side to him.

“Enne!”

[I’m ready for battle!]

I took out Enne from my item box as I started putting out the fire, just to be prepared for anything that might happen.

–Preparedness was always useful, even if things became unpleasant.
