===Aoe’s Continued Sight Mode: In DT Castle===

'''<Aoe’s Over Reload>

Aoe ran down the hallway.

“Damn,” he swore with Monkey taking the lead, sniffing the floor as he went.

Based on where Monkey was taking him, their destination was likely the audience chamber at the center of the first floor.

The artillery fire shaking the castle earlier had since ceased.

It had taken precisely 5 minutes for the low-altitude blasts to stop. That was at 1:30 PM. The large blimp doing the bombing had spent that five minutes moving along the major road linking the castle to Babel. It had eliminated the Yard forces encircling the castle and waiting near Babel.

When Aoe had checked outside from Yuo’s room after the glow of the bombing had faded, the road connecting Babel and the castle had already collapsed.

The heat had been visible and a few windows had appeared on the collapsed ground to inform of obliterated objects.

His vision was still burned by the light and he recalled the image of the aftermath while he ran.

“Damn.”

Telyb and Fooblicky had said they needed to attack when the initial shield went down, but they had been wiped out instead. Now there was only a deserted wasteland between the castle and Babel.

“They underestimated their opponents.”

Just before leaving the window, Aoe had seen a change in the bundle of light stretching from the top of Babel to the castle. It left a few thick strands there in the air while spreading out over a wide area. That formed a wall surrounding a vast space containing both the castle and Babel.

That was the second, larger defense shield.

Unlike before, the shield generated by Babel covered Babel, the amusement park at its feet, and the now-deserted road leading to the castle. The boosted bundle of light extending from Babel became an all-encompassing shield.

Then a new window appeared in front of Aoe.

'''<Preparing to alter some DT settings: The space within this shield will increase to a boost setting of x1000 in 90 minutes.>

'''<If you have yet to evacuate, please hurry to the south park. Creating additional defense shield.>

Aoe knew this was all the enemy’s doing.

He kept running. He parted the castle air that felt so thick due to the heat and shaking. He jumped down the stairs to reach the first floor of the castle now void of NPC Bodies.

He simply made his way to the location where Algo was waiting: the audience chamber.

He ran down the hall, raced through a large corridor, and saw his destination up ahead.

Large doors sat open at the end of the corridor. He ran full speed there and leaped.
