Chapter 86: To Do What You Are Able To Do
Yuto expanded his [Presence Detection] and with extreme caution, determined the exact positions.
Once he caught their presence, he withdrew his Katana from its sheath and cut the floor.
A square shaped hole was cut and fell to the floor.
But the hole was blocked by the loosened block, and Yuto couldn’t peer inside.
He placed a hand on the block, and Yuto placed the block inside his inventory.
Then he was able to see within the hole underneath, one of the citizens who was laying on the ground.
“IーI’m saved…….”
Yuto: “Eliz!”
With Yuto’s command, Eliz stretched out a hand and cast a {Heal} at the man.
But…..
Eliz: “Mr. Yuto. His leg………”
Eliz quietly spoke up as she concentrated.
The roof caved in, and the man’s leg was crushed underneath.
Under these circumstances, even if they cast {Heal}, they would not be able to heal the wound.
Yuto: “.........I’m sorry. I know this will be painful, but please endure it for a brief moment.”
“Huh? Uh….okay…..” Yuto: “(exhales).......”
Taking out his Katana again, Yuto avoided the man’s leg and cut the floor.
The cut roof piece fell to the floor with a <THUNK>.
“AHHHHHHHHHH!!”
And the man let out a scream at the same time.
His leg now felt the entire weight of the roofing on his leg.
Yuto quickly placed the stone piece inside his inventory.
Yuto: “Eliz!” Eliz: “Yes, yes!!” She jumped down from the second floor down to the first floor and performed a {Heal}.
It might have been because she used the {High Heal} that the man's foot was being restored.
“Thー........Thank you...so much. Amazing. All the pain is gone!”
The man bowed his head in gratitude conveying his thanks several times as he left the collapsed house.
From there, Yuto and his Party continued to rescue the people who were trapped underneath the wreckage.
If Yuto sensed a person’s presence, he would cut open a way with his Katana and rescue them.
The pieces of the houses began filling up Yuto’s inventory.
“Hey, are you still rescuing civilians here?!”
As Yuto and his Party continued their search and rescue, an Adventurer popped his head inside.
His expression was that of extreme fear and anxiety.
Yuto: “YーYes. There may be more people buried underneath.”
“Right now, Monsters are attacking the city!”
Yuto: “Is that true!?” “Yeah, there was a Stampede!!”
Hearing those words, blood drained quickly from Yuto’s face.
That was well beyond what he would have ever expected.
But they had detected all the signs of a potential oncoming Stampede.
That was why the Guild sent Yuto’s Party a Request to [prevent the likelihood of a Stampede from occurring], and they were in the middle of completing it.
Yuto: (It can’t be………)
A terrible thought crossed Yuto’s mind.
In order to deny its possibility, he asked the man.
Yuto: “Where did the stampede originate?”
“They came from the southern forest. They are currently invading the Southern Gate.”
Yuto: “No……….” His worst case scenario came true.
Yuto’s entire body freezes up at the news.
“You guys are strong enough to take down an Ogre, right? Leave the search and rescue to the lower-rank Adventurers like us, and prioritize taking out those Monsters first!”
Yuto: “......................”
“C’mon! Now go!!”
Yuto: “YーYes!”
Yuto and his group left the search and rescue task to the unfamiliar Adventurers, and they quickly departed from the collapsed building.
The Stampede originated from the Kronos Forest.
Some Monsters that flooded out of the forest have managed to enter into the Kronos City limits.
The Monsters came in from the Southern Gate.
ーーIt is near the Hope Orphanage.
Yuto: “I’m sorry, Mr. Dannan, I’ll go up ahead!!”
Dannan: “OーOkay?”
Yuto: “Eliz, please guide Mr. Dannan!”
Eliz: “Yes, yes!”
Dannan tilted his head in confusion at Yuto as he did not know why Yuto was in such a panic.
Yuto relied on Eliz to guide Dannan to the Orphanage’s location.
Yuto: (Please…….please let them be safe from the Monsters……..!!)
Giving out the quick orders, Yuto jumped up into the air.
As he prayed to Heaven, he ran across the rooftops as fast as he could towards the Orphanage.
