Boom –

It was close to late August, and a sudden explosion sounded in the riverbank area.

The deafening sound not only alarmed the city's investigators and patrolmen, but even ordinary spellcasters and citizens of Springs were awakened directly from their sleep by the astonishing noise.

Hurrying up on the bed, Ronald ripped off his coat and rushed onto the balcony. The sound of the explosion sounded some distance, and the movement was definitely not something that ordinary spellcasters could do in a street fight.

Standing on the balcony, Ronald immediately saw a wave of orange-red explosions lit up in the southwest of the city, and even the dark night sky was reflected as if it were day.

Boom –

Suddenly, the orange-red color that had begun to weaken suddenly exploded again, and the sound and power surpassed the previous explosion again, and countless red sparks dragged their arc-shaped tails and continued to be thrown around in the southwest of the city.

In the dark night, a gorgeous flower symbolizing death and destruction is blooming.

And in the safe position where Ronald was, he could also feel the wind and vibration blowing from the explosion at this moment!

“……”

After all, he had just woken up from his sleep, and Ronald was still in a daze for a while.

He stared at the southwest for a moment, then bent his knees to the roof of the three-story apartment. From a higher position, Ronald saw more clearly the explosion over there.

At the same time, he also clearly perceived.

There weren't any large-scale mana fluctuations there.

"Its name is Styx,

The black water flowed down to the foot of the dark and precipitous cliff.

……”

Ronald did not hesitate to activate the power of 'Fury', and then shifted the entire focus of reconnaissance to the southwest.

However, the results left him even more confused.

The southwest direction is filled with pure wailing and fear at the moment, and at the same time there is a constant loss of personal emotions in despair. Sudden explosions are ravaging and claiming lives, and almost no one can survive the catastrophe.

The problem, however, is that Ronald did not perceive any signs of fighting.

The people who reacted quickly in the southwest had even begun rescue operations, but Ronald did not find a reaction to the battle.

"Ronald, what's wrong?"

Just when Ronald's eyes were dazed, Heloise put on a skirt and turned over to the top of the building, and then whispered to Ronald to ask.

"What the people of the style school are doing, this scale of explosion...... Only the original canon spells on the mysterious side can be tossed out, right? ”

"I haven't felt the magic yet......"

Ronald subconsciously wanted to answer Heloise.

But in the middle of his words, he slammed into the spirit.

Hearing the phrase 'there are only original spells on the mysterious side', Ronald's memories of the previous time trip completely awakened. An explosion of this magnitude, even far superior to it, he has also seen it on video on the Internet.

chemicals, dust, high-explosive weapons, and even nuclear weapons......

Any one of these things can definitely achieve this level of destructive effect. Violent destruction and explosions are not something that can only be inflicted by the 'Mystery Side's Original Spells'.

Something created by humans in the course of productive activities.

Its power is far more terrifying than ordinary people can imagine, and it also means unstoppable destructive power!

And think carefully about the urban planning of Springs.

To the southwest, the coastal Springs Industrial Zone is home to a variety of new factories. In a world where environmental awareness has not yet awakened, some factories that should be far away from human settlements are actually working there day and night.

With backward systems and backward consciousness, no perfect worker training mechanism and safety system, after entering the industrial era, Springs will face such a crisis can only be said to be a completely inevitable result.

One more could even be said.

If it weren't for the existence of a mysterious side in this world that secretly controls everything, I'm afraid that such a crisis would have erupted much earlier!

Faced with the scene in front of him that was difficult for manpower to contend with, Ronald couldn't help but murmur in a low voice:

"Is the world finally going to face these things......

Hear this whisper.

Heloise, who was still thinking about what school was making trouble, immediately raised her head:

"Ronald, what did you say?"

Ronald immediately voiced his speculation:

"This incident may not have much to do with the spells on the mysterious side, I think it was a major accident in the factory in the industrial area. Heloise, I'll go over and see what is going on, do you want to come along? ”

"...... there was a major accident at the factory?"

Compared with Ronald, who already had a conclusion in his heart, Heloise still had a blank and skeptical look on her face. But the companion in front of her was invited, so she quickly nodded in response:

"Then let's go check it out."

"Whether it's a factory or a canon spell, I'm curious."

"Get ready for protection, let's go right away." I don't know if it's a chemical factory or something wrong, so Ronald reminded Heloise before reciting the mantra from the Almagest, "Starting from the relationship between the whole earth and the sky, it will begin to form our cognitive ......"

[This Round] and [Average Wheel] are activated together.

Ronald casually arranged some hellish black fog to cover his figure, and flew in the direction of the explosion with Heloise beside him.

Entering the flight condition, Ronald raised the positions of the two for safety reasons.

In the air, where the apartment building was much taller, the two of them witnessed a tragic scene below.

A location about a kilometer from the sea.

A place that was supposed to be a factory was completely surrounded by exploding fireballs, and the two of them were completely unable to see through this barrier. Around the factory, the shock wave generated by the explosion destroyed all the tofu scum projects at the first time, and the scattered sparks continued to ignite new flames on the ground irregularly.

And this piece of ruins, which looked like they had just been bombed, was also illuminated by a huge fireball in the center that had not yet been extinguished, and the whole scene was like a scene of hell showing the end of the world to the world.

Look at the scene below.

Heroise, who has undergone the most professional training, is also amazed.

"This ...... This...... How is this possible......"

"It's really not the effect of a spell?"

Ronald looked back at Heloise.

For a normal mystical side caster, this is a picture beyond common sense. Even though she had seen the terrifying power of "The Hammer of Rain and Mist" on the overseas islands, Heloise could not adapt to the tragic situation in front of her.

And as a person from modern society.

While Ronald is confronted with this scene, it is difficult to explain Heloise.

"Alas......"

Sighing slightly, he began to lower the height of the two of them.

"We're going down."

"Let's take a closer look at this scene."
