Chapter 141 We Are The [Liberation Front Of The Bright Star]
That day, disaster struck the Holy City of Necronia once again.
A Stampede occurred, causing the Seal Temple at the city's center to malfunction and release a massive horde of monsters from the labyrinth.
The peaceful daily life was shattered in an instant, catching everyone off guard. Except for a select few, no one was prepared for this catastrophe.
As the sudden disaster unfolded, many people panicked, unable to contain the swarming monsters. The city was on the brink of chaos.
Just before the monsters were unleashed, a voice echoed throughout Necronia.
'Citizens of Necronia! Good day! We are the Liberation Front of the Morning Star!!'
The voice was amplified by Wind Magic, reaching every corner of the city.
It belonged to a man with a deep, confident voice, filled with charisma.
'The world is wrong! Why do disparities, poverty, and discrimination persist? Why can't we eradicate these tragedies?'
The voice lamented the injustices of the world. Its owner stood atop the massive dome-shaped roof of the Seal Temple, located at the heart of Necronia.
But he wasn't alone.
Dozens of people, clad in identical black robes that covered their heads and bodies, stood beside him. They seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, and their numbers exceeded fifty.
This group of mysterious figures exuded an eerie atmosphere, but no one was aware of their presence at this stage.
Therefore, there is no one to interrupt their speeches.
'There's only one reason! It's because the god who guides humanity in this world is absent! Since the end of the God's Era, many Gods have retreated to the God Realm and never shown themselves to us!!'
A man in black robes, holding a long staff, was shouting loudly, his voice amplified by magic.
Although the source of the voice was unclear, it echoed throughout the city.
'Then, if the Gods won't guide humanity, are we doomed to suffer many tragedies?! No, I refuse to accept that!!'
The man asserted strongly, glancing at the cheat sheet in his hand.
'This world still has a god who can guide humanity! Yes, it's the ancient god sealed in this [God's Remains Labyrinth]!!'
The black-robed figures on the rooftops had already readied their weapons.
The massive barrier deployed around the [Seal Temple] had also stopped functioning and disappeared.
It was only natural, then, that the monsters that had been secretly brought inside the labyrinth, fed with the numerous lives, would burst out of the only exit, driven by their instincts.
'Therefore!! We, the [Liberation Front of the Morning Star], declare that we will release the sealed god from this labyrinth and bring about complete world peace and human prosperity!!'
――The ground shook.
What had become a massive tremor that shook the very earth itself had, in the next instant, become even more enormous.
Right below them, from inside the [Seal Temple], screams and angry shouts echoed out. Before long, a vast number of monsters with diverse appearances poured out from the gaps between the pillars of the [Seal Temple] and burst into the city of Necronia.
――The stampede had begun.
"Well... That's enough of this farce."
Logan Abrams, who was giving a grand speech as the "mastermind of the stampede", put away his cue cards and turned to address the nearly 50 companions behind him.
"Well then, gentlemen, let the festival begin. Let's have a wild time and enjoy ourselves!"
"Woohoo! It's finally here!!"
"This is going to be fun! We can do whatever we want in the city today!"
"Hey, don't get too caught up in the excitement and forget your job!"
"I got it!"
"So, where should we start our attack?"
As they exchanged rough and rowdy words, they demonstrated superhuman physical abilities, clad in their robes, and leaped from the roof of the [Seal Temple] to the city of Necronia below.
Logan watched them with a cold gaze and muttered softly.
"What a carefree bunch. Do they not realize that we're being used as scapegoats by the organization?"
"Even if they've undergone the 'adept' treatment, they're just disposable pawns. They don't know anything. I doubt they understand why Chronosphere started the stampede either."
"――Ail."
When he turned to the side, Ail was standing there.
Now, there were only 2 people left on top of the [Seal Temple].
Logan had been in contact with four families. It seemed Aaron had been summoned by the Explorer's Guild. Apparently, they had predicted the "Great Outbreak" as of yesterday and had been gathering as many explorers as possible.
"Is that so...?"
Logan nodded and took off his black robe.
"Aren't you going to hide your face?"
"What's the point of hiding now? I'm already known as the mastermind behind the Stampede, after all."
Logan then took out a red potion called "Activator (Nectar)" from his storage ring and drank it.
He threw away the empty bottle and told Ail,
"You should drink some too. If you don't, you might get killed as soon as you meet."
"...That's the way it is."
Ail also took out the "Activator" and drank it.
A few seconds later, their eyes turned golden.
"Chloe is already hiding in the city. When the [Space Freeze] in the Temple is lifted, she plans to teleported you all."
"When is it going to be lifted?"
"I don't know exactly. Magus should have already teleported to the [Spirit Temple]. Normally, the [Space Freeze] would be lifted right before Magus brings the God's Remains to the Temple... This time, we're taking out all four remaining parts. Last time, it took about 20 minutes to unlock the first seal. But I heard it only takes time for the first one. It'll probably take around 30 minutes to open the coffin."
"30 minutes... That's long, but considering Chloe is handling the teleportation, we can't afford to be late."
"Right... If we're too energetic, we might get avoided."
"To a certain extent, I won't let you get too tired... umm."
Logan nodded.
"Then, let's go."
he said.
