I will Save this Doomed Plot

Chapter 15: First Power(2)

And as if the voice heard his thoughts. The voice answered.

• That stone is what keeps the monsters from escaping here.

Luke's eyes opened wide. He then thought.

'I didn't know... It was not mentioned in the novel.'

Actually, the power [Hercules Strength] is just a passing power that the author mentioned. The main characters didn't take the memory of this magic container because it was only something the author, and me, the reader knew about.

When the main characters already accumulated the information they needed, they didn't look for more, and then the extra forgotten powers are mentioned at the end.

It described their names, abilities, and location. Although it was really weird, I thought it was just an excuse for making the chapter longer so I just brushed it aside.

He then heard the voice in his head one more time.

• Are you still going to take it? You're friends and the people in the city might die base on your actions.

Luke bit his lip and frowned. He then slowly opened his eyes and saw Nash's teary face looking at him.

He patted his head and walked past him. He then stood in front of the stone emitting blue light and grabbed it. He then heard the voice once again.

• Are you sure about your decision? Your companions might die and the city below might be destroyed.

Luke stared at the blue stone and started to speak.

"They won't die easily. They're strong. And, if I get this power I could kill those monsters before they could even get into the city."

"What are you talking about?"

Nash asked a question but Luke ignored him. He then started to crush the stone. The stone crushed easily like it was made of wet sand and a blue light started to surround his body.

His body then absorbed the blue light and felt an extreme amount of power stored inside of him.

Luke was then about to leave but felt an enormous amount of pain in his whole body. He fell to the ground and saw Nash shouting something at him but Luke didn't hear it and instead heard the voice in this head.

• This is the first time that you absorbed power from ancient people. Your body might need to adjust... I hope you could make it to the city in time.

Luke gritted his teeth and cursed the owner of the voice in his mind.

'You son of a bitch! You should've told me earlier!'

He then felt his mind shutting down and everything went black.

Selena and Spencer were sitting on the edge of a fountain with the kids while drinking and eating.

They all bought new clothes from an expensive boutique store with Luke's money. Luke's money basically plummeted down and only a few gold coins were left.

They looked around the plaza filled with people and Michael asked in a bored tone.

"It's been several hours since brother Luke disappeared. When will he come back?"

Spencer answered him while eating skewered meat.

"Forget about that bastard, I bet he'll return at the time we least expected in."

Then they heard Lily's sad voice.

"I wonder when brother Nash will come back?"

Jessa followed after her.

"Yeah, we even bought his favorite candy."

Josh then talked in a sad voice with his arms on both cheeks.

"I miss them both."

The children nodded at the same time and Spencer and Selena looked at each other before consoling the kids.

"Don't worry kids they will come back. Nash is with him so I bet that he'll take care of that bastard-"

BAAANG!

"Aaaaaahhh!!"

Selena, Spencer, and the kids turned their heads and saw the people running away. They then heard someone scream.

"Monsters! Monsters are attacking us!"

Selena and the crew all looked shocked and looked at each other with wide eyes. The children then heard someone scream again.

"It's the monsters! Monsters from Mount Ceb!"

"What is happening?! I thought that the monsters are sealed in the mountain?!"

"How did they got out?!"

The children suddenly thought about one person and Jessa exclaimed.

"Brother Luke! Didn't brother Luke just went to Mount Ceb?! What happened to him?!"

Spencer gritted his teeth and looked around.

"Shit! Now is not the time for that! We must evacuate the citizens!"

All the crew members nodded and then started to assist the citizens who couldn't run away like the elderly, and children from the orphanages.

They guided the citizens to the other entrance of the city but they saw people rushing back in.

When the crowd cleared a little, they saw monsters rushing in through the gates. Spencer cursed and shouted with his voice amplified with magic.

"Shit! Everyone! Run gather to the plaza! We'll activate a shield! Hurry!"

The citizens then ran towards the plaza. The children and Selena assisted the people in the plaza, some of the knights in charge of security of the City also helped the citizen rush towards the plaza and once all of them are gathered, the children gathered their mana and created a large shield in a form of a dome covering the whole people in the plaza.

Spencer, Selena, and some knights took a step out from the shield and prepared themselves. Spencer released his mana and Selena created a martial art stance with her hands and feet covered in golden light. The knights looked shocked for a moment but focused when they heard Spencer's shout.

"Here they come!"
