Chapter 740 Investigation
Rain, instinctively attuned to danger, remained vigilant, attempting to discern the source of these unexpected seismic disturbances. Despite his initial assumption, the absence of any immediate hostile presence perplexed him.
The unexplained nature of these seismic events left everyone on edge, grappling with the uncertainty of what might come next. The whole population of the capital began to move to the underground shelters, but Rain was starting to think that even those could collapse... the tremors kept going for a while, and they didn't show any signs of stopping.
Roan dashed toward his home with all his might while Rain decided to use his rain spell to check the whole country. Much to his surprise, he didn't find anything odd... not even in the dungeons.
"What is this? Is everyone around all right?" Terra asked since the tremors were still going even after half an hour.

"... I don't know, but I don't sense anything weird or mana changes in the air," Rain said. "No dragons in the sky or suspicious auras."
"... Shouldn't you try to talk with Isa?" Seara asked. "I can only imagine that the dragons are up to something with this."
Rain nodded and grabbed his magic radio... It didn't take long for Isa to accept the call and by the look of things, something was happening there as well.
"I assume that you want to know what is going on," Isa said. "I am not sure, I heard that something like this happened during the time the dragons fought the giant beast, but it is only a rumor."
"Their fight made the whole world tremble?" Rain asked while frowning. "I imagine that such a thing should be possible for the dragon god."@@@@
The unexpected turn of events left him and those around him on edge, anticipating the unknown and bracing for whatever might follow.
"We will have to use magic to keep the dust away," Rain said to his sisters. "Select those who can use wind magic to keep the dust away. We can't breathe it and the dust will be too dangerous for the crops as well."
"... Why now of all times?" Dana asked while clenching her teeth.
"It was just an unfortunate coincidence," Rain said. "This won't last forever... Once I am done finishing the walls in other areas, I will work on a solution to this."
"... Be careful," Leiah said. "We have things under control here now, so don't work too hard."
Rain nodded... he still wanted to comfort Dana a bit more, but she was already nineteen, she had to understand by herself that some things are just bound to happen.
In any case, Rain created an ice chamber and flew in the opposite direction. He figured out that Jori and Reca would have some help from the sea folk and they also had more mages from the academy there in case they had to fight against ocean monsters, they should be able to fight the dust for a while.
"I never thought that we would have to use the potions we just got like this," Liss said while she was helping Rain increase the walls of Teria and the few cultivation fields they had there. "This isn't something that the magic people had done, right?"
"I don't think that they did it... they have some obscure knowledge deeper than Isa's, but they shouldn't be able to replicate a natural disaster that happened thousands of years ago," Rain explained. "If they could, they had to use a lot of mana and they would have been able to use all that mana in a more efficient way to crush us.
Also, Artisia said that their magic barriers aren't protecting them from the dust, and that is the final confirmation that they were caught off guard as well."
