Chapter 14 - How to save a town.

It's not just here all the town is under attack, they had a reason to prioritize the cameras and communication cables. The summoner's influence not only can surpass our defences but also he can summon the monsters in the entire town.

I'm sure of it, Nixtel of the white banner runs to the whole town trying to save what he can. Thankfully even though our communications are busted the town itself didn't get affected.

She pulled her phone in there. The camera showed a young man barely 24 years old with pure white hair in a big ponytail. He had dark eyes and skimmed the town at speeds the camera couldn't clearly show. He wore a pure white robe that didn't have a speck of blood and dust. In his back was a huge illustration of wings with golden colours, they were intricately crafted and clearly showed his status as a leader. He was seen trying his best picking and killing any shadowy creature dared to stand his way, his face betraying a sense of despair and tiredness.

The camera then rotated and freely showed what was happening in the town humans fighting the monsters with all their might. A lot of them died but so did the monsters, it was clear a lot more of them were here but now they dissolved into nothing the buildings and road telling the tales of passed battles.

Both men's faces became grim. This was serious such catastrophe never befell in their town despair and hopelessness clawed to them.

What do you want me to do? The woman putted them out of their daze.

Can you approach him? It would certainly help.

Sure it just will look weird.

In the sky the young man runned to a building in there 5 people desperately tried to hold the door and wooden walls of th the house while a stickman tried to chop them down he was succeeding in a appalling rate until the young man landed from the sky plumbing the stickman then using a slash of wind so sharp it wistled he cut down a small ball trying to hide.

Afterwards he tried to take to the sky when a phone from above maked a pirouette and tried to hit him with fire the man easily defended himself and looked up to see the phone using the fire and air element in surgical precision to float quickly and effortlessly into the air.

You can talk now the woman said clearly tired and ready for the other world, her face was pale and her breath grew laboured. Still she had a pure smile on her face making peace with her situation.

The young man tried to grab the phone but it dogged him then it opened its camera showing the Chief and the leader of her guild looking at him.

God dammit Alosious do you have any idea how many times i tried to contact you where have you been your town is in serious trouble.

Yeah don't tell me, the mastermind behind that attack used its elite forces to keep us occupied cutting out the communication methods and cameras from here keeping us out of the loop. The phone that floats before you is the personal phone of one of my guild members. Thankfully the town's communication is still intact so for the time being we will communicate from here but now that we know we will move every cable member to the town hall as soon as possible.

Still the situation inside the guild is still a mess so i need your help to tell me how the town looks.

Well buckle up because your guild should be the least of your worries, the school got attacked and you have no idea how many kids and teachers lie dead on the courtyard,the private school of Count Lorford is still getting besieged the market and mall have at least 1000 monsters still on them and thankfully you have me emptying the streets because oh god the casualties would be much worse. Still I can't do everything alone. I emptied 5 streets and killed at least 200 of the creatures but I'm starting to get tired. We need a unified front and your guild is the only place where such a place exists you having all the adventures holed up to save your precious guild will kill your town.

Hearing the numbers both men became paler than her, if such a thing was even possible. This is worse than our biggest nightmare what are we even supposed to do? The Chief director was lost for words he simply looked at the ceiling lost.

As for Alosious he put on a mask of nonchalance, we need to give up the guild if the monsters here keep playing for time then we will never be able to do anything. Still this is too heavy indeed the second everyone sees what happened to the town they will run to their families ignoring the united good. Say Nolia i presume you didn't tell anyone and came here running.

She just nodded and stood up, i have some fight left in me i will run to the market and kill as many i can.

To that Alosious approached her slowly and putted his hands on her shoulders. No you are not you will stay on the town hall and heal your wounds, then he used his light to heal her wounds. A pure light enveloped the hole in her chest healing both bones and flesh she kneeled down out of tiredness she could feel her body trying to cope with her new flesh.

Don't worry.... I'm strong... i can handle myself.... and I want to help.... sitting comfortably on bed... is not my style.

I know you are strong today you proved that you are far stronger than me. That's why i want to save you for when the true horror comes.

Her face became shocked like she got electrified, i never told you about that how did you know?

The Chief director butted in, shocked that the woman knew more. Did you learn anything about the creature and didn't tell us, ARE YOU CRAZY? He screamed the last sentence out of his lungs.

Just that there's certainly a more powerful force behind all of this like think for a second if it could summon minions to the entire town why did it stood in front of our guild and didn't hide? Its minions were certainly smart and cunning so there's simply no way it wasn't smart too.

Wait what you are implying with this?

That this was just a test a appetizer a warning whatever the hell you want it to be and the true mastermind watches us struggle with its weakest of minions.

Now it was the Chief directors turn to knell his will to fight definitely exhausted.

Alosious nodded in agreement not reacting at all. She is right the guild isn't even in the centre of the town and yet it stood there aimlessly. Not only that but it didn't escape my notice that some of its minions desperately tried to destroy this building. Still it doesn't matter whether it's a test or not.

I will not allow my town to get obliterated without a fight. Still there is the problem of how to make the announcement. The monsters were thorough in cutting any communication inside of here. We lost the ability to make announcements long ago.

Well then there is only one way, by breaking the building and creating a hole throughout all the floors so the sound can pass. I can do that assuming i get permission of course, thankfully we are at the top floor so the only thing we need to do is find the place where us making a hole will destroy the least amount of information.

No do it here we don't have the time, it's a little worrying that you can so easily destroy the most guarded building in the town but I can't be bothered with such implications.

The Chief director, still looking paler than ghost, said: how can you still stand up and fight everything is lost the only thing we can do is run with our family's and get out of here.

Alosious looked at him with understanding and said: Do you know what the first step to save anyone is? To want to save them even if it looks hopeless.
