Roar!
Roar!
The people in the city were startled. They looked up. "What happens?"
"There are monsters out there?"
"I donāt know whatās going on either. But this is the first time Iāve heard a roar."
"I know, right? Arenāt aliens supposed to release a cry instead of a roar?"
"Then, whatās this? A familiar?"
"There are no beasts around, so familiars are the only possibility."
"Hey look!"
Suddenly, someone pointed up. They raised their vision to the sky and saw the culprits.
A few divine beasts suddenly appeared in the sky. The people didnāt know that they had roared earlier just to catch their attention.
Fenrir stood in the air before letting out a howl. He expanded himself and opened his mouth. The ash cloud started to flow into his mouth, disappearing completely.
"That is a wolf?"
"Wait. I heard the rumor about the divine beast summoner..."
"Donāt tell me, itās his doing?"
"The wolf is sucking the cloud."
Anubis activated his domain. Unlike the others, he focused on his healing abilities.
"What?"
"Iām healed."
"My injuries are gone!"
Nidhogg roared and released his breath, burning the cloud. He was trying to clear up the cloud as quickly as Tiamat, but unfortunately, his skill hadnāt reached her level yet.
"Itās really the ash cloud."
"But itās supposed to be impossible to clear up those clouds."
People were confused.
However, the divine beasts continued.
Jinwu activated his domain, elevating the sunās presence. Normally, people would be grateful just to see the sun since they could only see it once or twice a day.
And the opening wasnāt that big either.
But seeing the sky clearing and the sun showing its mighty presence, they couldnāt help but start tearing up.
"Oh sun... How I miss you..."
"The sun is back?"
Kunās massive body suddenly covered the sun again, startling everyone.
"What is that?"
"So big?"
"Is there a fish so big?"
People couldnāt help but become scared. Kunās size was simply too much for their rationality to explain.
However, it was thanks to this size that more clouds would disappear, getting swallowed by Kun.
Mae had turned into her fox form and used her illusion to make the ash cloud disappear like that of an illusion.
Qilin, on the other hand, restored the harmony of the area. As a result, people would feel refreshed and their minds would become clearer.
Thanks to this harmony, bad thoughts wouldnāt disappear. Although it was a bit manipulative, the people shouldnāt think badly of them, or else the karma would become different.
Last but not least, Orochi. Because he wasnāt able to fly, his presence couldnāt be known to the world. Still, Orochiās size was extremely big.
In addition, he was supposed to be related to the natural disaster.
Orochi created a typhoon made of water and elevated himself into the sky. Then, he spat out his poison, melting the ash cloud to nothing.
With the combined efforts of the divine beasts, a huge hole was opened in the sky. The size was at least three times that of the city, and it only took them two minutes to do it.
They continued doing it so that they looked like they were working, not just to show an image.
Then, Nathan appeared on top of the tallest building. Using his own energy to spread his voice to the people, he said, "I am Nathan Reckmoon. I donāt know if you have heard about the rumors about me visiting another continent or not, but the rumor is true.
"I have gone and found the original source. After looking at the situation, Iāve concluded that this is the perfect time to clear up the ash cloud.
"Although the cloud will disappear naturally, we will speed this up at least a year or two in advance. This way, everyone can finally live a normal life again.
"So, there is no need to panic, and please continue doing your daily activities as usual.
"After we move to another area, you will probably realize that the cloudās expansion has slowed down a lot. We will do it fast enough so that not only the people in this kingdom but also all the people in this land will have the sun in their heads. Thank you."
Everyone widened their eyes. They never thought they could live a normal life anymore.
When the ash cloud came, they thought the gods were punishing them.
If Nathan were right, they couldnāt help but imagine the life they used to have.
"Really...?"
Nathan only stayed for five minutes in this city before he started moving to other places while destroying all the clouds on their way. The people on top of the walls could see the huge trail of their actions.
They couldnāt help but cheer.
"Ooohhh!"
"Look at the clouds!"
"Itās really not expanding anymore!"
"The expansion is much slower!"
"If theyāre fast enough, all the ash clouds covering us might be gone!"
"Can we really live like we used to?"
"So, the punishment is over?"
"Oohhh. Nathan Reckmoon! The unique summoner!"
"The wolf is so cool as well. The wolf that devours the sky."
"But the fish can swallow more clouds. Itās so big. How big exactly is the fish? The fist that covers the heavens!"
"Iām even more grateful to that black dog. Look. I can walk again!"
"What? Arenāt you supposed to have your bones broken?"
"They are healed. Thanks to him. His healing ability is like the pope."
"Still, I am more thankful for this sun. Itās so rare for us to feel this warmth. The crow that calls forth the sun! I praise the sun!"
"I donāt know why, but this city has become much more refreshing. Is it because of that deer?"
"But the fox is able to do everything beautifully. The fox mesmerized me."
"Though, whatās wrong with that eight-headed snake? Heās so funny."
"But you canāt deny the fact that he is also destroying the ash cloud. Heās probably one of the fastest."
"Yeah, but you canāt deny how funny he looks!"
"I know, right?"
"Iām just grateful to Nathan Reckmoon for allowing us to return to normal. I hope this time we really return to normal life."
