Chapter 719 Situation



"We're going to fall!"

The ground crumbled, and the people on top of it began to fall. The hole was so big that it swallowed the entire village.

They ended up falling together with the buildings as they became an obstacle to them.

Noel looked around. It started to be hard to see the surroundings due to the sunlight not reaching this far. Noel could hear a lot of noises from the sides.

"What is going on?"

"Why are we falling down?"

"Help me!"

The situation was chaotic. The people were panicking because it was something they had never seen before.

However, Noel tried his best to remain calm. He immediately activated the Moon Blessing, allowing him to see in the dark. Even so, he had a hard time finding the bottom. It seemed that they would fall from a tall place. This way, a lot of them would be heavily injured.

'They are using the same strategy. Creating a tunnel that leads to the passage. But they use the tunnels to swallow the village and the secret passage as…' Noel instantly understood what they wanted. '…An executing ground.'

Even if they managed to survive the fall, they would be surrounded by demons and enemies if his prediction wasn't wrong.

'Should I tell Jonathan and all Wind Element Spirit Users to fly? No, they won't be able to carry all of them in this situation. Then, should we just let them fall like this? We will be exterminated. How about reaching for the wall?' Noel glanced to the side, finding all the debris. 'No, the buildings and debris are blocking us. Even if some of us can stop, the people below will be slaughtered. What's the plan that can ensure the survival of all these people?'

Noel didn't hesitate to shout, "Wind Element Spirit Users, create a blast of wind to become a cushion for our fall. Don't reach for the wall. If we don't have enough people, we will be slaughtered by the enemies that have waited for us at the bottom! I have the Moon Blessing, so I can tell you when it's time to release your power!"

The people were still panicking, so not all of them could hear Noel's voice. However, the two captains and vice captains who were not far from Noel immediately shouted at the top of their lungs and even used their Spiritual Energy to transmit the messages.

This was the only option to survive.

They said the same thing as Noel. It seemed that it was pretty effective, considering that a lot of people suddenly became quiet. In addition, there were four people who were ready to use their Wind Spirit Ability. And another person who planned to use his Telekinesis.

Noel could see the bottom after falling for a moment. It seemed that the secret passage was located at least 200 meters beneath the village.

"I can see it. Get ready!" Noel didn't even count, as they didn't have enough time left. He could only shout, "Go!"

The instant they heard it, they hurriedly released their Wind Spirit Ability, forming a powerful wind that reached the bottom. Then, the wind dispersed and even bounced back, pushing them back up for a split second and allowing the people to fall safely down as if they just hit a cushion.

However, the buildings shattered into pieces as their power wasn't enough to lift up the house. Some of the buildings seemed to have reached the ground first. But those who were lighter dropped only a split second before they reached the ground.

The woods and rocks scattered upon impact, causing a ruckus all around the floor. All the people that had just landed immediately covered their bodies with Spiritual Energy, trying to prevent any injuries.

However, some of the splinters and rubble were far too big and quick, and when they hit a body, it felt like they were being struck by a Peak Level Demon.

"Aaahhh!"

"Aaahhhh!"

"Help!"

A series of screams filled the area. Noel wanted to help them, but he had to ignore them for one obvious reason.

Since they had set a deliberate trap to bring them here, they would surely station their people to kill the people who survived.

The two captains were the first to notice the serious expression Noel had. They also wanted to help their subordinates, but it seemed that the danger hadn't passed yet.

He was grateful for his Moon Blessing which allowed him to see his surroundings. The secret passage the Count Family had seemed to be bigger than he originally thought. But when the dust settled, he realized that this area had been dug up specifically.

Two hundred meters in front of him, the path became smaller. He realized that this was the real size of the passage.

However, beyond this shrinking passage was what made him panic. He could see demons and people standing side by side. He couldn't calculate their number, but they would surely be pincered in two directions.

He didn't have time to look back, but if there was a need for rough calculation, he believed there were at least a few hundred people and demons in this place.

'We can go up with the help of Wind Element Spirit Users and Jonathan, but the people who don't get picked will be slaughtered. In that case, the best option right now is to fight back and break through the enemy ranks. It's better if we can leave this place by charging in a single direction.'

'In that case, we should reach the exit that is supposed to be nearer than the entrance.' Noel pointed to the back and said, "Calculating the direction, the exit is a better option if we want to break through. There are a few hundred enemies, demons and humans, in both directions."

The two captains who saw him glanced at each other. Although they wanted to discuss the current situation, it seemed that the moment the dust settled, they would be ambushed from two sides. It would be better if they took the initiative and disrupted their plans.

"I will take the lead and create a path for us," Igor stated with a serious expression.

"Then, I will take the rear and protect us." Faust nodded while raising his bow, ready to shoot another arrow for a counterattack.
