Chapter 528
At 4:00 pm in the afternoon on Year 7, 5th month, 13th day of the Dawn Generation, a powerful earthquake shook Starwood City which was located in the central portion of the Sala Dukedom . This earthquake's cause was unknown, and although it didn't cause that much destruction relative to its power, the shock waves spread out surprisingly far .
The nearby residents of Starwood City experienced violent trembling which caused some buildings to collapse . Fortunately, the great majority of residents was already in hiding for their safety .
The earthquake's ripples spread so far and wide that even countries thousands of kilometers away could feel obvious tremors .
According to the witnesses, the earthquake occurred right after the undead started retreating for an unknown reason . And, the earthquake's epicenter was in the middle of the undead's territory . Apart from the earthquake itself, some golden lights could also be seen .
If that was all that was known to the public, this earthquake wouldn't have even been worthy of mentioning in history . But in the next week's edition of the Mage Country's most authoritative weekly magazine named "Truth", there was such a report about this earthquake .
"The most powerful magical energy shock waves ever recorded in history were detected emanating from the Sala Dukedom . According to magical energy wavelength theory, the only possibility for why this occurred is that the greatest energy explosion ever recorded in history must have happened here . This energy explosion has already surpassed the energy potential of all known forbidden spells . If this was accomplished by some senior archmage, then we must all congratulate this individual for creating a new record .
"According to our mages that went out to investigate, they didn't discover any evidence of a large explosion as expected . Theoretically speaking, the strength of such an explosion should have been capable of sending an entire mountain range into the skies, changing the continental plates, and even creating several new volcanoes . Strangely, our mages didn't discover any signs of these at all . Not only that, even Starwood City, the city closest to the epicenter of the earthquake, was completely intact…"
Although the great majority of mages wouldn't focus purely on magical might, it would be inconceivable for them not to react to such a powerful magical energy wavelength . But since theory contradicted what they'd found at the scene, this incident caught even more attention from the mages . And after this weekly edition of the mages' "Truth" magazine was published, countless archmages began to research this incident .
The magazine stated a hypothesis that some archmage must have made a breakthrough and cast the most powerful forbidden spell in history . However, not only was there no sign of an explosion anywhere, there wasn't even any evidence of a mana vacuum that should have been caused by such a powerful magical energy wave . Although there were signs of an archmage's activity, there were no traces of such a powerful forbidden spell .
In that case, that meant that either there was something wrong with the mages' standard accepted theories on magical energy, or this explosion that should have been strong enough to explode half a continent didn't even manage to kill a single fly . The unknown would always make people curious, and nobody could stop the mages' curiosity .
News started spreading that the magical energy sent out from this explosion was seventy percent greater than the strongest recorded forbidden spell in history . Then, the mages received another abnormal piece of news that made them all fall strangely silent . Suddenly after that, large-scale destructive forbidden spells became the mages' most popular research topic .
"If it's only destructive force and the explosion's radius, we won't lose to those old artifacts…"
Alright then, this explosion which the mages ended up attributing to the work of some several tens of thousands year old artifact actually harmed the pride of the mages who researched destructive explosions as their ultimate goal . In the next two years, the mages actually succeeded in inventing three new mega powerful forbidden spells . It seemed that giving the mages some stimulation wasn't such a bad thing after all .
Anyways, I should stop talking about the mages' boring sense of pride now . Neither will I talk any more about the effects on history that this incident, later called the Starwood Explosion incident, caused . At the very least, this explosion's power had definitely been recorded in history .
"Is Conservation dead? She should be dead, right?"
"I don't know . My clone was destroyed instantly . Also, I strongly object to what you've just called me . What do you mean, treasure chest mimic Harloys? If you ever put my name together with such an ugly creature again, I'll… I'll… what are you even afraid of? You're so shameless and you're not even afraid of death . It's so hard to threaten you . "
As the silly cat insulted me, she kept trying to think of something I would be afraid of, while I was analyzing how much easier than expected things were this time .
