Chapter 159: In the Central Hall

The staff of the City Forgotten by Time, who had gathered in the central hall at the manager’s command, watched the room’s massive screen mirror with transfixed concern. They had seen the magical device plenty of times before, but never had its imagery been so hard to accept.

“Are those...golems?”

“Why are there so many?”

The rolling sand dunes beyond the city’s walls were an ordinary sight to the city’s employees, but the advancing horde made them harrowing to behold. Those who watched found it hard even to breathe. Nobody knew what was going on—all they could do was continue to watch. Melissa had given them strict instructions not to venture outside.

“Wait... Is that the new boss—Mr. Noor?”

“Sure is. But who’s that next to him? Must be one of us, judging by his black suit.”

“That’s Mr. Rashid’s bodyguard. I’ve crossed paths with him in the hallways.”

“Why’s the boss out there, though? Isn’t it dangerous?”

“Maybe he...went out to negotiate?”

“What, with a horde of golems?”

“How should I know? I can’t think of any other explanation.”

“What do you think the golems want? They look like they’re headed straight for us.”

As the staff watched the two men on the screen, even more people started to pour into the hall, all packed together despite the wide entrance. Many led children by the hand or carried them in their arms; the residents of the outer market districts must have come to take refuge.

“They’re even letting the outer residents in?”

“I guess that confirms it—the golems really are coming this way.”

“But why?”

“Maybe conflict broke out on the northern border, and they’re just passing by.”

“I don’t know... You’d think we would’ve heard a rumor, at least.”

“Wait. Do you feel that?”

Tremors shook the entire complex, growing in severity as the sand-colored titans continued to advance. Stone monsters were closing in, and no one had a good explanation for why.

The City Forgotten by Time was a recreational facility for the rich; the veteran staff knew it lacked a standing army large enough to match the oncoming horde. Some in the hall were already preparing for the worst, trying to make peace with the fact that these would be their last few hours among the living.

Yet, as it turned out, their resolve was wholly unnecessary. The events that followed, shown clearly on the room’s screen mirror, caused the jaw of every staff member to drop in shock.

“What...in the world?”

Noor, the new proprietor, held some manner of black club in his hand. Then his arm twitched, the club vanished, and dozens of golems were reduced to pieces. A cloud of sand obscured the screen’s image, and delayed explosions rang out somewhere beyond the complex’s thick walls. So violent were the impacts that even the central hall started to crack.

“What just happened?”

When the shaking subsided, the staff members looked at each other, completely bewildered.

“Is it just me, or did the boss just throw that thing?”

“He’s not fighting, is he? Against those golems?”

“Nah, he can’t be. You’d need to be insane to take on a force that large with only one other person to help.
