Chapter 487 Crowds

The Ossara family might not be the ruling family of the bone race, but regardless, their influence was far from small.

Their numbers might have been whittled down, their influence diminished, but every single member of the bone race knew better than to mess with them. Their might could not be questioned.

Commanding the city guards, especially when they have a good reason for it, was easy as making pie.

A message was sent, reaching every single soldier and guard in the city:

"The same enemy who killed Prince Zekaron and many others is attempting to escape. The Ossara family is currently in pursuit. Activate the city shields."

Those words caused a ripple effect around the entire city. Many raged, many immediately acted.

The majority donned their suits, equipped their weapons, and marched out through the streets.

The forms of a staggering amount of heavily armed warriors ran through the streets, each of them chasing the blazing figure in the air.

A multitude of small portable objects suddenly streamed out of the hover cars that were hot on Atticus's trail, their forms spreading out in every direction.

Each of them suddenly lit up in a low glow, and then suddenly, all over the entire city, incredibly large screens started appearing one by one until the whole city was filled with screens.

Every single one of the civilians going about their day, some simply strolling, others picking their children from school, many on a date, all immediately stopped whatever they were doing, their gazes focusing on the large screens that had appeared before them.

On it was the clear live footage of the streaking form of Atticus along with the multitude of hover cars whizzing through the air at blinding speeds, closing in on Atticus.

Simultaneously, the city walls suddenly trembled, each of the gates of the city lighting up in a golden glow that illuminated their surroundings. At the next second, the golden lights shot up into the skies from each point, each of them meeting in the air.

A golden shield unfurled, instantaneously encompassing the entirety of the city in a golden dome.

Atticus's gaze narrowed, his thoughts spinning.

That same question rang in each of the observers' heads, and Isabella, Jared, and the other instructors weren't an exception to this.

They each got their question answered in the next second.

Atticus's blazing figure appeared inches away from the shield, and then, he disappeared.

Before each of the observers could question their sanity, Atticus and Aurora's figure suddenly appeared just outside the shield, their momentum uninterrupted as they continued streaking through the air, away from the city.

Each of the hover cars whizzing behind them immediately veered to the left and right, stopping themselves from colliding with the shield.

The world seemed to pause for a few seconds before a wave of different reactions erupted from each crowd watching the scene.

The citizens of the bone race flung whatever they could, each of them raging, while the students watching the scene underwent a different reaction.

The students erupted into deafening cheers, drowned by the exhilarated screams of Gon, who had the luxury of having a mic.

A smile found itself on Isabella's lips, the intense laughter of Jared resounding throughout the booth.

The Enigmalnk 3rd-year instructor who had been the reason for them to change the rules of the leader's summit gazed at the scene in disbelief.

'How is it possible for one child to be this talented?' he pondered hard before sighing. 'I'm sure he'll be pissed.'

Suddenly, a weird feeling engulfed him, and he immediately stood up from his seat and walked out of the booth.

But he wasn't the only one. Harrison, who had been completely silent throughout the competition, suddenly stood up and also left the booth without uttering a word.

After a few seconds, both Harrison and the Enigmalnk instructors simultaneously appeared in the skies above the coliseum, both of them touching a large door and disappearing inside the massive structure suspended above the coliseum.

Immediately they appeared in the middle of a large and circular hall, they both sunk onto one knee in unison, both of them greeting,

"We greet the esteemed Paragons."
