Chapter 58: CHAPTER 58 – Aftermath.
Luna was fighting with three trained S-ranked raiders with everything she had, but she was still saving her trump card as her trump card was not something that could be revealed easily.
As Luna continued fighting, she suddenly saw Argon somehow push three S-rank raiders away like nothing. This made her realize the difference between her and Argon as she was having a hard time dealing with the same people that Argon could thrash anytime.
But her attention was soon attracted to a capsule-like thing that every one of the intruders took out. She could see them taking it in their mouth and she had a very bad feeling about it, so she finally used her ability.
A strange pinkish aura left her body and entered one of the six guys, who suddenly stopped his movement and dropped the capsule on the ground. Then he ran towards Luna and just before the other five guys exploded, he was standing in front of her, shielding her with his body.
*BBBOOOOOOMMMM*
The explosion was so big that it caused the wall next to the stage to blast off along with the roof and mind you, the Auction Hall was made of a rare ore found in a gate. The wall is strong enough to take a full-powered punch of an A-rank raider and remain unscathed.
The same wall exploded and the debris was sent flying everywhere, killing many low-ranking raiders and unawakened people. But no one there was in a situation to look out for others as the Auction Hall seemed like it was crumbling and might fall in a while.
Everyone was evacuating the Hall in a hurry, causing complete mayhem. Everyone was running for their lives as they knew that the hall with a diameter of 100m was falling down.
They knew that they were asking for their deaths if they waited for the authorities to take control of the situation.
So, they (Weaker ones, i.e. low-ranking raiders or unawakened people) ran with all their might, disregarding anyone else which caused more deaths among the crowd as many people got crushed below the crowd.
............….
"Where's Alex??" Alice was pacing around in the compartment as she was still there in her compartment just like other high-ranking guild masters.
S-rank raiders could blast off the wall behind them and jump out of the compartment, directly coming out of the Auction Hall. Every one of them waited just because they wanted to see what had happened as it was too fast for them to notice.
*Click*
Just then the gate of their compartment opened on its own without anyone standing there. The girls just sighed in relief as they saw this, instead of being scared as they knew who it was.
"Miss me already?" Alex spoke as he deactivated his disguise skill.
The girls, however, were not in the mood to joke right now.
"What happened?" Alice asked, completely ignoring the words Alex had spoken before.
"Things happened and I will explain it to you, but I guess we should move out of here," Alex spoke gesturing towards the sealing that no one was focusing on.
Alice and Ann turned towards the ceiling and widened their eyes.
Everyone was underestimating the explosion or they were just too engrossed in the situation that they didn't notice, but the ceiling of the hall was already covered in web-like cracks.
Just looking at the wall was enough for both Alice and Ann to guess that it would not be long before the ceiling came falling down on their heads.
They nodded their heads and Alice pressed her palm against the wall of the room to blast off a hole in it.
"Let me do it," Alex spoke before Alice could activate her skill and launch a fire blast on the wall.
Alice nodded and backed away as she also wanted to know which ability Alex would use.
Alex conjured a sharp wind blade, 70 cm in length, and slashed that blade on the wall four times. There was a rectangular mark left behind after he was done, and this made both Alice and Ann confused.
They didn't know what Alex was trying to achieve and they thought that maybe he was going to use another one of his abilities now, but…
"Let's go," Alex spoke as he moved towards the rectangular mark on the wall.
"Eh?" the girls only got more confused but then they saw Alex placing his hand inside the rectangular shape made on the wall and he did nothing.
He just pushed the wall lightly and they were shocked when they saw the rectangular shape was not just a mark, it was just the surface of the cuboid shape.
They saw the cuboid made of a 3-meter-thick wall sliding smoothly out of its place. The wall was cut so smoothly that it didn't even make a scratching sound as the cuboid was pushed out of the wall with a swish.
*BAM*
It was when they heard the sound of who knows how many tons of heavy pieces of the wall falling outside that they broke out of their reverie.
"Amazing," Ann spoke as she caressed the smoothly cut wall. Alice also nodded her head at her words.
"Let's go out, you can observe the piece of wall that I cut out as this is something you would be able to do as well if you just focus on my training," Alex spoke with a smile and patted their backs.
The girls nodded their heads and jumped out of the Auction building.
Alex looked towards the center of the Hall and his eyes happened to meet two golden eyes staring right at him, but then those eyes were filled with shock as they realized that someone could see her.
It was Aurora who was checking up on Argon as he had to take the explosion up front. Even though his injuries were not life-threatening or something major, he was still weak right now.
After all, he withstood the explosion caused by five raiders with just his abilities, and it really is not something anyone in this world could be able to do, except Alex of course.
The full power attack of an S-rank raider is enough to destroy 100 meters of their surroundings, let's not talk about them exploding.
The explosion was not able to show its full glory as much of it was absorbed by the Auction Hall or it would have caused some great casualties. Alex ignored the surprised eyes of the Aurora and turned towards the other person who was right in the middle of the explosion.
Alex smiled a bit as he saw Luna coming out of the debris, and although she was not in good shape, he could tell that her life was not in danger and she could still fight if needed.
Alex then jumped out of the building and landed next to Alice and Ann who were waiting for him.
They were now waiting for everything to settle down, so they decided to move back to the car.
It was just then….
*Crack* *Crack*
Everyone inside the Auction Hall heard a loud cracking noise and they automatically turned their heads toward the ceiling which was the source of the noise.
"Shit!!!"
This was the only thing everyone had in their minds, be it the high-ranking raiders or the lower ones.
Low-ranking raiders or the normal people knew they would die if they stayed behind while the High-ranking raiders knew that they would survive but didn't want to take risks.
Luna looked at the ceiling as well and sighed deeply. She was now blaming her luck as this day was one of her worst days and she knew that it was not the end of the day.
Everyone hurriedly did whatever they could to run out of the hall and as they ran, they kept looking at the Hall's ceiling was now filled with cracks and some debris was falling down.
*Boom**Boom*
Then it happened, the whole Auction building that had been standing strong for some years collapsed in its place, killing who knows how many people who were still not able to come out.
