Chapter 801 The Situation of Saltstar City



Chapter 801 The Situation of Saltstar City?

When the development of the Saltstar City & Metal City railroad was finally completed, Vicente reached the last hill on his way to this city, where he and Nova were standing now.”,

From their position, where Vicente and the survivors of the tragedy caused by Dax and Malik had first arrived in this area over 15 years ago, the two could see the coastline and almost the entire urban sprawl of Saltstar City.

The place that had once been beautiful, with good quality buildings visible from miles away, with exquisite beaches, very well-forested, was now a gray place with almost no vegetation and many abandoned buildings.

“We don’t really understand what the monsters were trying to do here. One day they just launched a massive attack on the entire state, destroying railroads and cities.

About eight months ago, Saltstar City was still standing, coping with the disaster like the rest of the kingdom’s cities. But then things suddenly took a turn for the worse, with a massive attack that forced over 180,000 people to flee the area in desperation.

The remaining inhabitants could not escape. If they stayed behind, they were killed, taken by monsters, or forgotten by human forces.”

“So it’s not impossible that there were survivors here.” Vicente said to her.

“There are probably survivors here and in all the other ruined cities.” Nova nodded positively. “Unfortunately, we could barely defend our cities and the refugees from destruction. We could not even try to rescue possible survivors.”

“Don’t worry, Nova. I’m here now.”

With these words, Vicente jumped off the cliff above Saltstar City and flew towards the city, where monsters roamed the streets as if it were a dark forest.

Nova followed behind her man, seeing more and more of the destruction of this place that had been her home for years.

It was painful for her to see the city like this. This was a place that meant a lot to her, where she had lived with Vicente and spent many happy moments.

To see it destroyed, surrounded by monsters and with so many traces of death, was hard for her and made her lose the good humor of being at Vicente’s side to reveal a solemn, dark expression.

But she wouldn’t have to worry about dealing with creatures in this city. As soon as Vicente landed there, he activated his Throne of Darkness, bringing the darkness of the city under his control.

“Kneel.” Vicente muttered as a terrible pressure surged under all the monster bodies that were present in the ruins of Saltstar City.

Nova saw all the hundreds of creatures obey Vicente against their will, each one freezing in the position he had commanded.

From the shadows of these creatures, demons of darkness rose from the ground and mercilessly attacked each of the “subjects” of Vicente’s dark realm.

Before killing them, however, Vicente moved his powers to create the seals for the spell he had recently created.

Black flames appeared beneath the bodies of these hundreds of monsters, while a metallic arch rose from the ground at Vicente’s command, creating a magnificent dome beneath the city.

Nova had already seen him do this in Millfall and Martell Village, so she wasn’t surprised when she felt the mana and elements in the surrounding area becoming denser and easier to absorb.

This was Vicente’s technique of sacrificing creatures to temporarily turn weak places like this into cultivation areas capable of nourishing even Paragons.

“We’ll be here for a few days, so let’s take the opportunity to cultivate the area.” Vicente said as he finished activating his spell, while the painful screams of the monsters being sacrificed echoed throughout the city.

As the symphony of death played, Vicente spread his senses over the surroundings, noticing every living creature, valuable artifact, and more as he closed his eyes.

“It looks like we have a few hundred survivors hiding around the city. Let’s bring them the good news.” He looked at Nova as he identified the positions of each of these individuals.

Several of them were hiding in the train station, an interesting place to hide since it was made entirely of metal, with the characteristics of Metal City.

But there were people living underground in the area, in some buildings that once housed the city’s major powers, such as the Awakening Temple and the Blacksmiths’ Association.

Vicente and Nova moved on to one place with the most survivors, the train station.

With the entire city under their influence, the survivors were already safe, even if they didn’t know it yet. But that was about to change!

When he arrived at the station and opened the entrance to the area, which had been completely sealed off by the survivors living there, Vicente was at first startled by the hundreds of people in the area. ๐‘“๐‘Ÿ๐‘’๐“ฎ๐“Œ๐‘’๐’ท๐˜ฏโ„ด๐‘ฃ๐“ฎ๐“.๐’ธโ„ด๐˜ฎ

But as the two sides looked at each other, Vicente and Nova noticing how miserable these malnourished, dirty and tired people were, and the survivors fearing them both, someone there recognized him.

“Vicente!” shouted a young man with blond hair as he left his position behind several people.

At the sight of the man, Vicente identified the person as his old academy buddy, with whom Rory and he were great friends.

“Ian?” Vicente identified the Mid-level Mage.

Ian cried when he was recognized by Vicente as he kneeled before his friend, unable to contain his emotion at being rescued.

He knew that with Vicente there, they would all be saved from the monsters!

As the two old friends recognized each other, the survivors relaxed a bit as they looked at Vicente and Ian, but also at the woman in the royal army uniform.

These days, monsters weren’t the only threat. Unknown people were also a threat to the group of survivors!

Two groups of survivors could join, but sometimes one would need a resource from the other, or they would compete for the same things for their own survival. In a scenario where you had to be selfish to save your own group, groups of survivors were not necessarily allies in the fight against the monsters!

Even after Ian introduced Vicente to these people, some of them still looked at him with doubt, afraid this would lead them into an even worse situation than the one they were already in.

Nova and Vicente saw this when they introduced themselves and said what they were there for. But there wasn’t much they could do at that point. This was a job that had to be done one step at a time. The goal was not for everyone to trust them immediately, but for them to have the trust of these people when they left the area!
