Chapter 1029: The Aftermath
-----
"Master is unconscious right now, so I'll take over the command of the summons by his request," Skadi said as the summons left behind, both her fairies and other beasts and dragons, nodded.
The Familiar Generals were also all alive, barely, some had been wounded but Elizabeth healed them back to full health, she did the same with all the survivors, making sure they stayed healthy.
As Skadi commanded the summons, they quickly started clearing all the rubble blocking the streets, while a specialized group gently carried every survivor on beds to the cathedral, one of the few buildings that didn't collapse.
However, the cheer amount of people would require more than just the cathedral, so they occupied every single other building surrounding it, placing the people there while resting. The man fairies attended to their needs, some quickly beginning to administrate elixirs left behind by Blake too.
At the same time, Elfriedden helped the groups carry the people to safety, looking for his mother, brother, and his girlfriend amongst the many people. He couldn't move them away like rubble though, helping the fairies gently bring all survivors to safety.
"Mother... brother...!" he muttered. "Where are you? I remember that you were quite close by..."
He kept looking desperately, until finally, he found them, his eyes widening as he ran towards them, all three of them were together, little Sapphirus was being hugged by his mother, while Rosenheim was close to the two.
"T-There you are..." Elfriedden gasped for air, looking at them in disbelief. "Hahh... Hahah... Aahhh..."
He started weeping again, crying tears of both happiness and relief, as he fell to his knees and started hugging them.
"I'm so relieved you're okay... Ngh... I couldn't... I just couldn't keep with this anymore..." he kept crying. "If you have really died, I wouldn't... I couldn't have... really been able to move on..."
He hugged his brother, his mother, and his girlfriend tightly, trying to give them his warmth.
"I'm so sorry for not being able to protect you... This was all my fault..."
But how long would that take, after every single citizen, children, elderly, and adults have gone through such a traumatic experience?
It all depended on if they remembered what happened or not...
"Hah... We can finally rest, I'm so exhausted..." Erika yawned.
"Yeah... Blake hasn't woken up yet..." Elizabeth sighed.
"I'm sure he's fine, you've been keeping a close eye on him, right?" Eric tried being optimistic.
The group of friends, led by Cattalina, made their way back to the port city, where most of the people ended being transported for temporary accommodation, including many of the nobles of Rosenheim.
The news about the King being secretly an Archdemon that had parasitized his soul reached the surviving elves rather late, but this news had to be stated openly so the people could know what had truly happened.
Naturally, the elves were devastated, and the morality of their kind had gone down to the dumpster. The people had lost all hope, and many of them had already begun planning to leave the continent entirely and migrate to the nearby continents, either the Dwarven Continent or the Human Continent, which were the closest.
"The army of monsters and demons outside hasn't gone anywhere..." said Erdrich. "Mammon most likely controlled them too, but I guess there's still Fafnir."
"Yeah, technically, we have not even started our job here yet... the whole thing with the King was so sudden..." sighed Eric.
"Yet, if Blake hadn't done a single thing, everything could have been even worse..." said Elfriedden. "I regret having gotten furious at him and even fighting him... I was so reckless and driven by emotions, I couldn't even sit down and think what he was truly doing."
"It's fine... he sometimes does things like these anyways," sighed Erika. "Let's just go rest for now. Blake and Chris deserve to rest on comfier beds."
Like that, the second day after the entire incident ended.
