Chapter 622 - Raising Pillars

"Y-Yes, doctor!"

after being urged by Leon, the group of clansmen finally gave up on extracting every ounce of Holy Water left in the fountain.

"Quick, let us get out here! We've already stayed for too long!"

"Doctor, please leave with us! It's dangerous to stay here!"

The clansmen barked at each other to wrap things up to depart before urging Leon to leave as well.

"Oho, so you also know it's dangerous, huh? Since you know then why haven't you left yet?!" Leon snarled.

"R-right! We'll leave right this instance!"

Leon watched the clansmen pick up their pots of Holy Water and leave under the protection of the clan warriors.

Shortly after, Leon spread out his divine sense to search the area survivors that may have been overlooked.

"Seems like there isn't anyone left. Let us go too, Duna."

"Okay, but I'm going to borrow your back."

Duna suddenly hopped onto Leon's back weakly with her eyes closed before refining the True Grandmist Energy and beginning her self-repair process.

"Finally feeling the toll, eh?" Leon muttered before stomping the ground and shooting off into the distance.

Within moments, Leon returned to the exit point where many clansmen still queued up, waiting their turn to leave.

"Leon, Duna, you're both back!" Lilith approached with Jorn following behind from a distance before noticing Duna's state. "Is Duna going to be alright?"

"Un. Nothing can happen to her with me around," Leon stated confidently before asking, "You were waiting for us?"

Lilith admitted with a silent nod before Jorn said, "Since the people arrived, it's time for us to leave, Little Princess."

"Alright." Lilith nodded before frowning shortly after, "However, there are still many clansmen here."

"I'm afraid the dome would not hold until everyone gets out."

"Come to think of it, the dome should have reached its breaking point and collapsed already," Leon suddenly mentioned.

He realized the frame holding the place together was still breaking piece by piece.

"For this to be happening... The weight pressing down on this area must have been greatly reduced...!"

"That's right." Jorn nodded before adding, "We have another team working outside, removing the carcasses from this section to buy us more time."

"Aria and Soft Feather must be lending their assistances on the surface as well." Leon understood.

Boom!

A massive section of the dome suddenly collapsed on the other side of the clan, causing its surrounding parts to collapse with it.

"Talking about timing," Leon muttered.

He watched the section above them being mildly affected by the big collapse in the other areas.

Three-quarters of the clan was buried in immediately, leaving them with one-quarter of the dome left standing, albeit not for much longer.

"Ahh, the dome collapsed! Move faster! Get me out of here!"

"Hurry up! Why the people in front so slow?! Even turtles move faster than this!"

Panic spread through the crowd as they began shoving people in front of them to increase the pace, causing disorder and chaos in the mix.

With sickness coming into contact with everyone, it was not strange that the crowd's pace was slow. The clansmen living closest to the exit were also the farthest from the fountain of Holy Water.

Nevertheless, the pot-carrying group of clansmen managed to arrive safely before they began shouting, "Holy Water! We got the Holy Water here! Who is in most dire need of Holy Water?!"

"Please pass these bowls of Holy Water to those in urgent need first! Please, everyone! Don't fight, and don't be greedy! In times like this, we must stand united more than ever!"

The pot-carrying group of clansmen began swooping small bowls of Holy Water and distributed them to the crowd.

"Thank you, young heroes! You're all lifesavers! We will remember your heroic deeds!" The crowd cheered.

It was the least they could do.

Some of the pot-carrying clansmen glanced back buried section of the clan before their lips twitched. They had cut it a bit too close and nearly got themselves buried with the clan.

"Fortunately, we were urged by the doctor to leave. If we had stuck around for a bit longer, some of us—if not all of us would have been buried," a pot-carrying clansman spoke with dread and cold sweats breaking out.

"We're out of time. Time to leave, Little Princess! Pardon the offense!" Jorn immediately picked up Lilith upon seeing the situation.

"Wait, Uncle Jorn! What about the rest of the clansmen?" She asked urgently.

However, Jorn shook his head and said with a sigh, "Sorry, not everyone can be saved. It's regrettable, but there's nothing else we can do."

"Not necessarily. I will buy them more time," Leon casually stated before muttering, "I don't really use this ability often... it's the most neglected of all my elemental abilities..."

Shortly after, Leon stomped the ground, shattering it like a giant earthworm burrowing through the earth.

Rumble!

The ground shook before a colossal earth pillar rose in the distance, supporting one corner of the remaining quarter-dome.

"Earth Manipulation?" Jorn muttered with surprise before wondering how many more abilities the human prince still has.

At the same time, Leon furrowed his brows before stomping the ground again, shaking the ground and raising another colossal earth pillar to support another corner of the quarter-dome.

'Strange... When did my Earth Ability become so strong?' Leon silently wondered.

Although the power was not greater, the range and amount of earth he could control has far outstripped that of a Preliminary Accession-stage Transcendent.

'My comprehensive understanding of the Earth Law definitely has yet to reach the Transcendent level. Only Earth Transcendents could borrow the limitless power of the earth...'

'Did becoming Nihility Transcendent remove the limiter on my other elemental laws?' Leon made a wild guess before he quickly ruled out the possibility with a shake of his head.

He had been using some of his other elemental abilities since he achieved Nihility Transcendence. They were not as powerful as his Earth Ability.

Clearly, this was not the reason.. Or at the very least, not the sole reason.
