Earthling in Uncharted Dimensions

Chapter 144: Victim Name: Piscerent City

"Earthquake!"

An Immediately grabbed Mia's hand and shouted out. Ruella almost fell down stumbling, but Tera supported her. Lee was astonished as D swore that he did not sense something like that approaching.

"The city."

Gauthama uttered as his eyes watched a small portion of the Piscerent City's wall breaking down, in a distance. Lee witnessed this and deduced that Gauthama was unaware of the impending extinction level disaster!

Perrafin and Fero came running at Lee while constantly observing the surroundings. They became more vigilant and exposed their fangs, as the ocean began to produce turbulence. Large amounts of water were thrown onto the land and the beasts increased their pace towards Lee.

[An enormous fissure closing in. Gather everyone in EsGen!]

Foresight was activated the moment D shouted out. Lee instantly reached for those who were near him, and brought the ladies and the beasts into the EsGen. As Gauthama watched, an index finger slowly drifted towards his chest and poked, and the very moment, he lost all contact with reality.

*CRACK*

Something shot up into the sky with so much velocity, that a sonic boom was produced. A cloud of dust rose up and the fissure opened its mouth under its disguise. Lee missed the gigantic fissure literally by a hair's breadth. Flight was powered to its peak by his desire to live. Four Mana constructs covered his palms and feet, through which jets of air exited. All of these stacked together, and fuelled by an unrivalled threat on his life, took Lee more than a hundred metres into the sky!

Villages were sunk, and its residents were drowned to death. Like a demolition site, the Piscerent city walls were partially reduced to a heap of stones. Three parallel fissures brushed past Piscerent city and only broke the city wall in the process. They are incredibly lucky, when compared with the situation of Lorin.

[We might get spotted, if we stay airborne for long. Better descend fast.]

The Piscerent city was in controlled chaos. The quakes came from the ocean, so the guards were scouting around the city for any potential survivors and clues of the disaster. The chance to be spotted was not zero, so Lee decided not to take any risk.

Lee was slowly walking towards the city, while helping those who are trying to save their lives. He saved many hanging on their thread of life by some fortune. Since he too was in shags, and as drenched as them, his messed up hair partially hid his face and identity. Most of the villages have suffered losses from the fissure outbreak.

'The Tubian's presence caused the Essence extraction to skyrocket, eh?'

[That is not it. Gauthama somehow had figured out that EsGen is related to you. With complete trust, he had let his guard down. Though cannot move or act, he is able to maintain his chain of thoughts.]

'I better thank him later.'

After a short pause of observing around, he probed-

'D, what about the timer?'

[These are appetizers, while the continent formation after about 3 decades is the real meal. There is no change in the schedule.]

Lee tried to help others as he moved towards the city. There were carriages which had the beasts drawing them run away in fear. Lee pulled them and brought them to a safe point, away from the fissures.

Without much fuss, Lee entered the city. The turmoil in air, and his ragged and drenched appearance made others assume that he is another survivor of the sudden calamity. Some gave him a piece of bread, and an old woman gave her blankets to Lee. He was actually speechless by these actions.

[I found that we have no need to oversaturate the affinities. The oversaturation is only for those who have Lesser or Medium grade affinities. But those with Greater or Absolute grade only need to spend the same quantity used for all other parts.]

'Thanks for the info, D.'

Lee entered an alleyway and climbed onto the nearest building roof.

'I have an idea worth experimenting.'

[And I am looking at it. It looks feasible. Go for it.]

Lee covered his whole body in a thick layer of Mana. He and the layer around him began to disappear as Light Affinity was attributed to it. As he expected, the Light Affinity can refract the light rays around someone and can make one go invisible.

'Flight.'

The normal Flight was slow when compared to Air affinity attributed aerial dash. Lee gave precise commands and he promptly hovered over the Gauthama's Inn. Entering through the fence door, he had no choice, but to break the wooden lock inside the backdoor, to get in.

After silently entering, he shut the door behind him and released Tera, An, Mia, Gauthama and Ruella, from the EsGen. They were in a daze, as they went blackout near the beach, and then woke up conscious in their bedroom. The Tubian turned to Lee and asked, while maintaining the gratitude on his face-

"Lee, I am curious as to how I and my sister reached here."

*huff*

Lee was sitting leaning on one of the bed's legs. He stood up and went near the table and took a seat. Others followed his lead as he waved his hands. The brother and sister were doubtful, but trusteded Lee to their core. As the trio apart from the siblings sat down, Lee took on the role of a storyteller!

Five minutes after the notification vanished, Lee concluded his story and crossed hands on the table. He decided to be honest, and gave a concise account on his arrival, the Dimension Sovereign, the progression and the untold history of Tubians and Utopia, in a single stretch. D advised him to strategically conceal the presence of the system, and he cleverly avoided anything that could possibly suspect the presence of it. Even if a doubt arises, Lee had attributed the reason for their doubt to his unceremonious arrival here.

Gauthama's revelation, that he was an incarnate who previously lived on Earth, from where Lee had come, was the greatest surprise of the century. Tera could not believe that her brother was such a powerful, yet passive character. She felt herself proud and blissful to have acquired him as her brother.

"All Tubians are incarnates. And it is the very reason that we did not involve ourselves in the great war. We were unknown of our life's extent, and thus, decided to stay dormant."

Gauthama was shedding light on the lives of the Tubians, those beings which were worshipped as gods and living for millennia!
