The Soul System in the Apocalypse-Chapter 455: A Strong Existence
Chapter 455: A Strong Existence
As Jasmine and the others began retreating, Olivia certainly detected that there was a pressure that was being applied on the ice that she had solidified to prevent the tsunami from reaching the territory.
Currently, she was not trying to utilize the ice to spread further so that she could freeze more water, considering that it was better if she concentrated in a single place, to make sure that the wall that she had formed was extremely strong, to prevent it from being breached.
That was the exact reason why she had not been attacking. The moment that she decided to attack using the ice element, it was definitely going to increase the consumption of the energy, and it was definitely not going to be capable of matching the speed at which she was recovering the energy after taking the potions.
In order to avoid the risk, she decided to just block, while allowing Diana to attack. That way, with the two of them cooperating, it was definitely going to be possible for them to be able to deal with a large number of monsters before the monsters found a way of breaking through the blockade that they had set up.
But right now, for the first time, she felt that there was some kind of pressure that was being applied on the wall that she had formed. Previously, although there was some pressure that was being applied by the water, but even then, it was definitely not capable of breaking through the barrier that she had set up using more than half of the energy that she possessed.
But now, she felt that as long as this pressure continued, this wall that she had set up would definitely begin to crack. She could not help but frown, as she decided to utilize the ice manipulation in order to try and see what creature it was that was trying to break through the wall.
But although she was focusing, she did not notice any creature that was around the wall. It was as if the pressure that was being applied was due to the water increasing its pressure on it, but even then, Olivia believed that it was not.
After all, she could feel that the pressure was currently concentrated in a single spot, obviously trying to break through by using that point. Additionally, that was the very same spot that she had been using to allow Diana to attack.
Left with no other choice, Diana and Olivia changed their strategy, and they began attacking from another angle. At the same time, Olivia concentrated even more energy on that point, just to make sure that the wall was not breached.
The number of the sea monsters within the water was extremely high, and the entire water that had come in a form of a tsunami had already turned blood red. That was due to the blood of the sea monsters that had already been slain by the cooperation between Diana and Olivia.
Olivia suddenly began sweating. This was due to the pressure that she was feeling. She had suddenly realized that the pressure that was being applied on the wall had suddenly increased, and she had no choice but to begin consuming even more energy in order to solidify the wall even further, to make sure that it was not broken.
But even then, she just felt that the pressure was just continuing to increase, without a stop at all. She was not sure about what was going on, but this was definitely not a good sign.
Just as Olivia was planning to concentrate on that single part that was about to begin to crack, she suddenly felt that the other parts of the wall suddenly experienced tremendous pressure at the same time.
Since she was not prepared for the other parts to be attacked at the same time, wide cracks immediately began spreading on the ice wall. At that moment, Olivia acted as fast as she could, trying to make sure that the cracks would not extend that further.
But the moment that she spread her concentration to the other parts of the wall, the pressure that was being focused at the very center of the wall suddenly increased again.
Bang!
An explosion suddenly occurred, as the ice wall that had been blocking the water from reaching the territory was destroyed. Ice crystals immediately spread out due to the power of the explosion.
It was good that those that had been standing in that place had already retreated back towards the territory. Only those that possessed the combat professions were the ones that were currently remaining, but even then, they were quite a distance away from the wall.
So, as the ground was immediately devastated by the ice crystals, there was nobody that was injured. But even then, the ice crystals were not given much time to destroy the ground as the tsunami surged forward.
Olivia was not going to allow the tsunami to reach the territory. So, she immediately acted by activating the restoration pendant. This was a pendant that she had received from Henry during the time that they were still in this Crystal city, before they began traveling to the other cities.
The moment that the pendant that was around her neck was activated, Olivia was suddenly washed by a warm current. In the next moment, the energy reserves that were about to be depleted recovered immediately.
The restoration pendant was an item that was capable of helping a person to recover their full energy. It had a usage limit of two times a week. And so far, Olivia had not utilized it ever since they had left this city.
The moment that her energy recovered, Olivia struck once again. The moment that she attacked, the water that had already become violent, and was already charging towards the territory was once again frozen.
This time, Olivia was not careless at all. She had utilized all the energy that she possessed in order to make sure that the wall that was going to solidify this time was going to be more stable than the previous one.
At the same time, she immediately activated the restoration pendant once again, and the energy that had already been consumed once again recovered. At this moment, this item that she had gotten by luck from Henry was completely useless until the end of the week.
But even then, Olivia managed to recover the energy, and she even decided to strengthen the wall even further. With that the violent water of the tsunami was forced to stop once again.
Olivia was definitely not going to allow the water to rush over towards the territory considering that people were still moving towards the main territory building. They had to enter into the barrier.
It was a good thing that the territory had already been upgraded, and the area that could be covered by the invisible barrier of the main territory had already reached the level of covering the entire city. Of course, that only applied to the previous city before the expansion. And now after the expansion, it was 1/3 of the city.
But even then, this was enough to be able to accommodate everybody within the territory. It was just that moving them there was definitely going to take some time considering that the population here was quite high as well. Although it could not be compared to the other cities such as Lockwood, Hillstown and Rosha, but even then, the people still numbered in tens of thousands.
According to the calculations that Olivia possessed at this moment, she believed that it was going to take at least more than 15 minutes for them to be able to fully evacuate everybody into the main territory area where there was a barrier.
Additionally, they were also trying to rescue as many resources as they could, those that were very important for something like research and so on. Of course, they had no choice but to leave behind many other things considering that if they decided to save everything, they might end up dying without saving anything.
Diana and Storm did not retreat, but instead, they continue to stand in front of the ice wall, ready to attack at any moment. Storm had not made a move until now, but even then, he was already prepared.
Both Diana and Storm possessed the wind element affinity. And at this moment, they had already began working on something together. They had never tried it before, but right now, they decided to try it nevertheless.
Currently, Olivia was simply focusing on preventing the water from rushing over, and Diana was working together with Storm. For that reason, no attack was being launched towards the sea monsters within the water.
About 5 minutes later, Olivia once again detected that the pressure was being applied on the wall once again. She could not help but frown. Why was it that she could not find who it was that was trying to destroy the wall that she was setting up?
Could it be that the rules of the apocalypse were actually trying to help the monsters this time? But even then, she decided to continue holding on. She took several recovery potions, before she utilized half of the energy reserves that she possessed in order to solidify the wall even further.
The moment that the wall solidified, she realized that the pressure that was being applied on the wall had suddenly disappeared. Even though she felt quite relieved about the pressure being reduced, she did not try to be negligent at all. Instead, she was even more cautious, considering that whoever it was that was trying to destroy the wall was quite cunning.
But at this moment, at the very depths of the tsunami, blood-red eyes suddenly opened as they stared directly towards the territory. At the same time, a majestic pressure descended in Crystal city.
