Chapter 229: Clowns Can’t Be That Scary... (1)
Laughter and chatter filled the air as families and friends gathered around Hera’s temple, enjoying their time together in the Goddess’s embrace. But peaceful times didn’t last for long.
Out of nowhere, a deafening explosion shook the ground, sending shockwaves rippling under their feet. The tourists froze in terror as panic swept through them. Some stumbled and fell, while others screamed in fear.
"It’s an earthquake!" someone shouted.
"Since when were earthquakes accompanied by explosions?" another man yelled over the chaos. "It has to be the boss monster! I-It’s the only possible explanation-"
"Stop speaking out of your ass!" someone else argued. "There’s no way something like that would happen. The Goddess will not allow it!"
By then, the guards sprang into action, rushing to calm the panicked crowd and guide them to safety. But their efforts were in vain as hysteria took hold.
People were convinced the explosion had something to do with the boss monster and wanted nothing to do with it. Soon, no one cared about their surroundings and rushed towards the gates to leave the dungeon.
"The dungeon boss is secure! Nothing can free it without the Goddess’s will-" one of the guards shouted, his voice barely audible above the chaos. "Please, everyone, remain calm!"
Unfortunately, the guard’s words fell on deaf ears as the tourists pushed and shoved one another to leave the dungeon as another explosion went off.
