Versatile: Alternate World

p "A beam?"

"Yeah, you know, the same beams you see in movies like laser beams? However, the beam here is much bigger like some sort of laser beam fired by aliens in the movies from their spaceships. It was so sudden so we didn't even get to react to it as it only happened in split second and it only happened once. That is also the reason the soldiers around are deployed and are investigating the area for any signs of where the beam came from," Dolly explained.

I tried recalling many weapons or monsters capable of unleashing a beam and the only one I can think of is the Draconic Metal which can turn the surrounding air into a laser beam that it can shoot out from its eyes and mouth depending on the situation. But still, its attacks aren't capable of wiping out a huge carcass of the giant turtle in a snap. No, it's impossible already, to begin with, given the size of the Draconic Metal and the carcass alone.

"Did the two queens already issue an explanation already?"

"No, the two have no idea about that. They deployed the soldiers already to see what is going on and to check whether it is safe to stay in this area or is it time to move on, Right now, we just need to stay here and be on standby in case that sh*t once again happened," Hagane answered.

Then, a few soldiers started shouting not too far from us while waving their hands.

"Oh, looks like they found something," Topaz pointed to the soldiers.

"Should we look and see what is going on over there?" I asked.

"No. We will only go if they specify us to go. Until they say so, we remain on standby," Sigma answered while keeping herself relaxed.

I looked around and realized that my parents are nowhere around with us alongside Chase.

"Where are the others?" I looked at Dolly since she is always with my mom.

"They just logged out earlier. Unlike us, staying in the game for too long would not be a good thing. As for Chase, he said he was a bit tired so he logged out for now. He will be back once he gets sufficient rest," Dolly explained.

"Then what about you guys?"

"We already logged out earlier when the situation from the beam didn't happen just yet. When we log back in a few hours earlier, the beam appeared, and now it's happening."

So all we can do is wait for the command and stay put until everything is done. It's a boring thing but that might be the reason why they just decided to kill time while talking with Almira who is also staying, waiting for the command.

"Although it's unfortunate that all the remaining materials that we needed are gone, we already accumulated quite a lot of stuff already and my work has finally been halted which is a good thing for me since I can now have a relaxation time for myself," Almira smiled as she sits down on the chair and looks in the distance.

"So that only means we are almost done with this  quest huh?" Dolly sighed in relief.

"No, we are still gonna go to that route but not just yet. The last thing we will be doing is to gather the relics we can find and right now, we have yet to do that. Of course, it is reasonable that we have yet to begin anything just yet. Since we have yet to begin the expedition, I can assume that we will begin once we have accumulated enough weapons and armor. But since the disappearance of the carcass and our source of materials is gone, the only way we can do right now is to just wait for their command and I can assume that sooner or later, we will be going to begin to dive deeper into this frozen land."

"Sounds quite complicated," Iron scratches his head.

"Of course and it's quite bothersome but as someone who does not hold the power to do anything to the army, all we can do is remain and wait."

As everyone continued doing idle chatter, Queen Tori and Queen Tanya appeared from their tents. One of the soldiers who has a loud voice climbs onto the makeshift stage that was used during any announcements has announced something.

"Everyone that is part of the expedition, please gather around. Your Majesties, Queen Tanya and Queen Tori are going to start a speech! Please gather around and I want everyone to be assembled here in under three minutes!"

The soldiers immediately followed the commands and they quickly lined up. The blacksmiths also followed suit while we also gathered in the backline. Just like the soldier wanted, everyone has gathered around excluding those who are still busy investigating as they are needed to determine whether it is safe to go or we have to escape the place before another beam appeared and vaporizes everyone.

"Attention soldiers! Queen Tanya and Queen Tori are here!"

The soldiers stopped talking and the two queens appeared but this time, they are no longer wearing the casual outfits for the royalties that they usually use when they are in the castle or in their free time. I haven't seen Queen Tori's before but I have seen Queen Tanya's and it's her battle gear as a Reaper class. Her outfit looks like a jacket hoodie but it's stylish enough that she wouldn't look like an actual grim reaper. Her scythe, however, is creepy enough and emanates death.

As for Queen Tori, her outfit is similar to a winter coat but has an obvious armor pattern that made it look comfy enough to move around. I don't know her class since she has never been into an actual battle compared to the battle maniac Queen Tanya so I have no clue what she is capable of doing or what her abilities are like.

"Looks like everyone is lively, huh? Today, everyone needs to temper their souls and body, for we are about to dive deeper. After careful investigations, we have concluded, that the event that occurred earlier, is one of the effects of one of the relics of King Arthur. And since someone indeed confirmed that the relics are scattered underground, the wait is over. We are now going to start the raid. Collect all the relics we can find, and get out alive. Although I don't doubt there will be an enemy down there waiting for us, I will officially assign it as a raid. All personnel available for combat who are still capable of moving and fighting, gather up your arms, the raid shall begin!"
