The Author's POV
Chapter 328
[Northern tower.]
"How long do you think they will keep the barrier this time?"
Leopold asked Ava, standing next to her. He glanced at her for a moment, wondering what was going through her mind.
"I don't know."
She replied in a soft tone, her eyes transfixed, gazing into the distance. She seemed preoccupied, an endless stream of thoughts rushing in her head.
From time to time, ripples would appear on the barrier. Whenever that happened, waves would form around it, enveloping the mountain.
Ever since a week ago, the situation was getting more and more out of hand.
The attacks of the demons were more ruthless and relentless than ever before. The lower-ranked demons even threw themselves at the barrier, turning into a mush of blood and gore. It was honestly gruesome.
If not for the barrier that had been activated, things would've been extremely dire for everyone.
"Are you going somewhere?"
Hein asked from the side.
Lifting her head and looking at Hein, Ava nodded.
"Yeah."
"Where are you going?"
"To fix this."
Ava lifted her hand, in the middle of her palm lay a pale green flute.
"You're fixing that?"
"Yeah."
It became apparent to her from the last fight that the flute had some serious flaws.
If she did not fix it, once the barrier stopped functioning, she would be in big trouble.
"Great, I'm coming with you, I've got to fix my shield too."
He raised his shield, showing it to Ava.
"Oh, wow. You fought with that?"
She was surprised to see it. The state of the shield was quite bad. Not only was it filled with cracks, but it was also marked with numerous indentations.
In its current state, Ava wouldn't be surprised if it would break at a simple touch. It made her wonder if buying a new one would be better.
Putting the shield away into his dimensional space, Hein looked towards the barrier in the distance.
"Yeah. I need to get it fixed before the barrier goes down."
"You guys planning on going to the utility center?"
Disrupting their conversation was a familiar, tired voice.
"Hua~ If so, I'm coming too."
Yawning, Leopold walked over to them and flashed his gun.
"I've run out of bullets."

"Ah, I'm starving!"
Sitting on a round table, Jomnuk, alongside Waylan and a few other individuals, stared at the beautiful dishes presented in front of them. It looked sumptuous, to say the least. Meanwhile, Ren remained standing. He kept his back straight and stared intently at the food on the table.
"Shall we get straight to eating?"
Pulling his sleeves up, Jomnuk eagerly looked at the food in front of him. His eyes shone brightly. Picking up the silverware beside him, Jomnuk prepared to dig into the food.
"Please wait, sir."
But just as he was about to eat, he was once again stopped by Angus, one of the dwarven guards assigned to him, and the one that had previously checked up on him.
