Rewrite System 83 The Prelude To Chaos 2

Muttering that, Lucas could feel the questioning gaze Elea give from beside him but his focus quickly return to the ma.s.sive formation up on the sky.

A trigram with a single eye at the center are hovering over the entire city and layer of circles slowly forming around it tells them that it is not a lower tier spell.

"Let's head back quickly, I don't want to be caught up by whatever that thing will do." Elea suggested and Lucas approve of it as the two rush through the gawking crowd.

As the formation form it's third layer, the duo finally reaches the guild warehouse and are greeted by most of the members being top side along with the guild upper echelons.

Lucas was about to make his way to them when he quickly change course towards the entrance of the hideout.

"Ma watch your steps!" he said as he quickly catch her as she stumble over last of the stairs.

"Hmph unruly child, is this how I taught you to talk?" the woman said, softly pinching his cheek. Not minding that he just caught her from a possible bad fall.

"Urg.. Mother why is it you are out of bed, should you not be resting?" although the pinch barely have strength in it, Lucas still wince from it as he feel numerous amused gaze from behind him. It is rare for them to see him being submissive to anyone after all.

"Why, I am here to give a piece of my mind to your father. How dare he left me without giving any goodbye kisses!" she said with a pout, that accompanied with her fairy like look made it really adorable and one could hardly take her seriously. but to those that knows her, she is not one to be trifles with.

Some of the new members however, question why such a young girl are being called mother by the young master. No matter how they look at it, she looks more like his sister than his mother with her youthful face and short fairy like stature. But none dare to voice their opinions when some of the older members signal them not to.

"Very well Mother, I shall guide you to him but please-"

"I know I won't push myself or be selfish about staying up here. anyone with high enough skills would probably be able to feel the fluctuations of mana in the air and that the situation must be serious for him to act that way." she cut him mid sentence, she knows her husband best so of course she knows something is up. but that is even more reason why she wanted to be by his side.

Carrying his mother to where he last saw the group of upper echelons they quickly spotted the person they are looking for with Elea waving to them next to a brown haired man in grey clothing.

As soon as they reach the two, the man opened his mouth with a stern look but before he could say anything Lucas's mother cut him off.

"Mitch.e.l.l Laviska Von Vermont how dare you leave I, your most beautiful wife, alone in our room as you run off with another woman!" she bellows out, attracting everyone attention from the sky towards them as Mitch.e.l.l abandon the thought of scolding his son and start defending himself from the wrath of his wife with many explanation of what is going on and the excuse of duty.

As the people close to them and able to hear her clearly, most of the upper echelons gave Mitch.e.l.l a look of disgust while others with look of empathy.

Those disgusted not because of what was said, as they know how the two act to one another, but because of the self praise the woman said when she look more like a middle schooler than a mouth watering mature woman.

Those with empathy because with such a scene witnessed by a lot of new members, he will be subject for gossip once again and will have to work hard to clean his name as well as appease his wife after this.

Although there is one person who gave him a look different from the others, Mitch.e.l.l's right hand man, second in command as well as Lucas's uncle, are looking at the exchange with growing interest as if it was some kind of show.

Lucas who watches everything from the sideline.. or however much of a sideline is as he support his mother to stand, let out a sigh. even with the ever growing magic formation above them, his parents are always able to embarra.s.s him and his uncle, as always, never done a thing to stop them until he lost interest then remind them of the situation at hand. and with a glance, he can tell he's not the only one embarra.s.sed by this as Elea is already as red as tomato while he is carried by his mother who also enjoys the show.

It took almost half an hour before Lucas's father able to clear his name and get his wife forgiveness. but, it was also at this time a voice bellow through the whole city.

"Greetings and salutations resident of this world! I am Saruman, Hero to my world and king to my people. As all of you might noticed, I have cast a spell through the entire area. No one could go outside the boundaries of it and vice versa.

But I'm afraid that is not all it does, no. I am sure your skilled mages have noticed this but the mana in the area have been enchanted, purified in quality. they may have also noticed that all the mana are pulled towards the center of your city.

Now as we witness the activation fourth and final phase of this spell, I pray that you may entertain me with a worthy struggle.

After all, a hunter must first observe and gauge his prey before engaging it in battle. Now without further ado, let the blood feast begin!"

The voice said with a tone that tells everyone should be grateful that he is magnanimous enough to grace us with his presence.

Many of the guild members around them start to mock and cuss the voice while searching the source of it, it wasn't long till one pointed out towards the center of the city.

The area turn silent as the sight shocked them. The once glamorous and ma.s.sive castle at the center is no more, leaving a crater spanning over a few kilometers that seems to even eradicate the n.o.ble estates around it and leaving the surrounding buildings in complete rubbles.

Through the silence, a bell resound eerily from the formation above them as the fourth circle fully form around it.

As he was staring at the sky along with the others, Lucas felt something cold and sticky touches his cheek. wiping it with his hand, he turn to look at whatever he removed. It was blood.

Some people around him start shouting about the same thing he discovered while some quickly tells everyone to be on guard for possible a.s.sailant and to check for any casualties.

But he have a different thought as more drop of blood fall to his stretch out hand and it was quickly confirmed when the weather turn into a drizzle, then to a light rain and continue to escalate. It was raining blood.

The moment the rain turn heavy, the bangle on his hard let out a radiant glow and burst into a blinding light. When it subsided, an approximately 40 meters around them are covered in a golden dome that covers all the members and the building they use as base and shield them from everything outside.

Many of the people look in wonder at the dome, while some look at him, the source of it.

The upper echelons of the guild however are unperturbed by this as they are in the knowing of what that bangle might be.

What concern them more are what is happening outside the dome, although there was no noise converted from out there. they could see some of the people in the distant start to take out their weapons and start attacking one another.

There was no discrimination, be it men or women, children or animals, all join in a bloodbath as they kill one another. It did not matter if they were once lovers or husband and wife or even siblings, there was only kill or be killed then look for another victim.

Lucas couldn't process what he is seeing, he couldn't comprehend why everyone suddenly killing each other. But he was brought out of his reverie when his father start barking orders.

Him, his mother, and Elea then escorted by a couple senior members back inside the building, and the last he saw outside was a few mages, raising the earth into ramparts and walls.

.. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..

Shaking his head, Lucas refocused his mind to the present. He had left his best friend to take care of his mother as he go out to ask about the situation. but it seems nothing has changed other than the dome had dissipate and the rain had return to normal.

Moving to another side of the wall, on this side, there was barely any crazy people left. Any who remains are either not bothering with the walls or are after another out there.

Seeing everything down below, he couldn't help but feel sad. even though he had his fair share of experience with dead bodies in his past life, it was not to this extend where there are enough bodies to fill one ma.s.s grave to the brim and more to spare for another.

As he was observing the dead below, he caught one of the bodies twitch. Focusing on that one body of a man, he could see the man weakly moves his arms.

He was about to call out to one of the person on watch of this side when the man suddenly rises to his feet in a creepy way. He did not get up slowly like a normal person but suddenly rises as if an invisible strings pulled it up.

The man then start hunching it's back as it's arms elongate and his nails grows into a long blackish claws.

The man start looking around and when he spotted him on the wall, he let out a loud hair raising screech and rush out on all four towards the wall.

The person on guard quickly blow his whistle to inform the others before firing his crossbow. His aim was true and it hit the man on the head, at least it should have. At the last second, the man nimbly evade to the side missing the bolt by a hair breath and continue it's mad dash.

Raising his hands, Lucas prepare to fire off a fireball spell he was forced to learn with Vayne back in the academy to help take the man down. He was about to launch the fist sized fireball when he noticed that more and more of the bodies below start to twitch as well.

When two more guys come to this side and help the guy, he redirect his aim towards the bodies below. The fireball hit one of the bodies as it rises and quickly burn the helpless body to charcoal black but it still continue to transform much like the previous man.

Shooting a few more, he turn the body into ashes before turning his focus towards another risen.

He was not the only one noticing all these as others start to lobe their own spells towards the bodies below them as well as take out any that has complete it's transformation.

Even with all their combined efforts, some of them still reaches the wall. Unlike the crazy people before they are not scratching or attacking the wall, they jumped to it and start climbing using their claws to hook on the wall.

Lucas couldn't focus on whatever was being shouted by the people on the wall, he could only focus on taking out as many as he could while some of the people have exchange their bows and arrows with spears to push back any dead that climb too close for comfort.

"Let go you d.a.m.n creature, let go!" a shout sounded near him.

He turn towards the person shouting and spot a guy trying to yank his spear free from the grip of one of the dead. It was a fruitless endeavor, infact the dead man pulled the guard spear along with its wielder off the wall. As the guard fall, the dead man jump off the wall and caught him and many more followed it's action as they fall lower and lower.

The guard hit the ground with a splat along with all that jump down from high up. those that previously climb the wall however stop in their tracks before turning and rushing towards the freshly deceased guard.

Lucas could felt his stomach stirs as he watches how the nearest risen tear the dead guard apart and start devouring his flesh greedily.

A hand clasping his shoulder made him jump in surprise and he almost lost his balance as he quickly turn.

The person clasping him quickly catches him before he fall and steady him to his feet. He is one of the senior member of the guild and he saying something to him but all he hear are buzzing noises.

It took the man a few tries before it finally register to him. His father wants him to go back inside and help his mother, she is preparing a warp gate spell and they are abandoning the capital.

Once the man's word register into his mind, his feet react faster than his mind and already take him towards the stair leading down. He only prays those he left will be able to hold off until the spell is ready.
