Chapter 653: Apostle (5)
While Lucy and Nevera were moving underground, chaos erupted above ground.
The Apostle of Magic, a highly respected sorcerer in the Empire, had jumped down below to rescue a young girl.
Seeing their revered figure in danger, many other sorcerers tried to follow her, shouting for the knights to be summoned, and the chaos that had begun among them quickly spread to the citizens, throwing the city into turmoil.
A few individuals, who remained calm, shouted to calm the situation, but their efforts were too weak to quell the panic that had already spread.
In truth, even if those who tried to stabilize the situation had some power, it would not have made a difference.
The confusion in the city was not just because of the people's bewilderment.
The unsettling energy emanating from below ground was controlling and shaking people's emotions. With such a disturbance, it would have been impossible for anyone to calm the city's chaos.
"Miss."
In the middle of the chaos, Erin, who was looking at the hole, clasped her hands together and prayed.
"O great God, please protect our kind and righteous Miss."
At that moment, a sudden tremor started to reverberate from the earth, which had been calm until then.
The shaking, so intense it made standing difficult, caused people to scramble in every direction.
