1276 The Danger Of The Holy Core
The heavens were furious!
And in this split moment, everyone was instantly filled with dread while watching the thick lighting bolt descend from above.
Zap!
The mighty bolt struck the floor below the object, breaking it into several pieces.
And before everyone could say the words Abracadabra, the stone-like object that stood at the tip of the volcano's mouth, was now falling backwards along with some of the crumbling pieces of ground too.
"No!!!!!!~"
Several people screamed in dread as it all happened in slow motion right before their very eyes.
Woosh!
Several groups of unprepared people were dragged in with the thing, as they suddenly found themselves falling into the Volcano's greedy mouths.
"Ahhhhhhhh~~~"
The force of gravity on the falling object caused several of them to get yanked into the air, flying across the scene and falling directly through the volcano's mouth.
Horrible! Horrible!
The weight of that thing was just so horrible that it caused such a reaction from those who were unprepared a second ago.
Just a while back, they had been holding onto the chains and feeling mighty proud for retrieving the object from below.
What were the words that some of them said?
Ah yes... Didn't they say that be it the heavens or devils, no one would be able to stop them from retrieving the item?
"Ahhhhhh~~~"
Instantly, several people fell to their doom as they got swallowed up by the volcano.
But of course, even with the misfortunes now, only a minority of people fell to their demise.
"Everyone, stand firm! Stand firm and pull! Pull! Pull! Pull!!!!!"
Drizzle. Drizzle. Drizzle~
Bang. Bang. Bang~
"Pull! Pull! Pull! Pull!"
In the heavy rain and thundering weather, the men all struggled to firmly plant their feet to the ground while exclaiming loudly and pulling as hard as they could.
"Grrrrah~~"
~Boeing!
The object now stopped falling, getting suspended in mid-air down below the volcano's mouth, yet again.
The volcano's mouth was very narrow, while its insides were so broad, vast and very intimidating for any who looked into it from above.
.
Dammit! Dammit!
Bonesaw gritted his teeth in anxiety while staring at the scene before him.
He had never failed a mission before, and he sure as hell wouldn't be failing this one.
So no matter the weather, forget it. They had to retrieve the core, even if it meant sacrificing half of the army.
This Holy core must never fall into the hands of those bastard Adonis people in Lampe, Ir any other forces that might use it to rise to the ranks.
No! No! No! He would never allow that to happen!
With fierceness in his eyes, Bonesaw quickly joined the gang of people, putting in his own efforts in retrieving the item from the volcano's mouth too.
That's right.
Because of his record and accomplishments, they had explicitly selected him for the job.
So how could he fail his superiors?
Bonesaw sneered deeply.
He didn't believe that this was the wrath of the heavens, but that this was the work of the Holy core.
Oh yes! He didn't know the detailed history of the Holy core, but he felt that given the secrecy of the mission, it should be the reason for the terrible weather above.
So... Was the weather somehow triggered by the fact that they were extracting the Holy core from its resting place?
The superior did say that the Holy core was a mysterious object altogether. So it's most likely that it was all caused by the Holy core.
Yes! Yes! The heavens were always by their side, so how could the heavens be mad at them?
Impossible!
.
"Pull! Pull! It's almost out again. Pull! Pull! Pull!~~"
The system watched the scene below as the men swarmed and gathered around like ants in a colony.
Sometimes, a person along their line would slip against the wet floors, causing a few disparities here and there.
The struggle was real.
And each and every person down there was fighting not just gravity, but the weather and the business of the ground too.
This volcano was indeed a dormant one, as it hasn't erupted for hundreds and hundreds of years.
So grass had already started taking root on it, and the ground had indeed begun softening and giving way for other species to nestle in it.
But whether the volcano was extinct or not was unclear to many.
That said, the rains here had done a great job of muddying the grounds, making the task a whole lot harder for these men.
But the system knew that soon enough, they would be able to bring out the Holy core from its resting place.
And just like they had said, for various reasons, it was already too late to stop the enemy's involvement in the matter.
Firstly, the enemy had over 5 different backup fleets stationed around the island and even stationed in other positions along the place too.
That is, if one team failed, another would always step in.
These Morgs had spared no expense to get the Holy Core in their hands.
But that wasn't all.
The Holy core had already begun reacting. So it was already too late, to say the least.
As for the Holy core's capabilities, heh... They were also shockingly frightening.
The Holy core was a gift to humanity ages ago when humans were still a minority of the world's population.
It was gifted during the time when the heavens gifted special humans with powers too.
The Holy core was sort of a last resort for humanity, just in case they couldn't overcome the giant creatures roaming around the place.
But you know, after things started looking good, the books on the Holy core mysteriously started getting destroyed.
And as time went on, those who knew about the Holy core died ages ago.
So now, who can remember anything about the Holy core?
It was something that the heavens had painstakingly tried to hide... That is, until today.
