May Soul Dissonance Bow Before Me

Chapter 9

TCF!Zed let out a sigh of resignation – he understood why Cale's thoughts were liberal, but it still hurt his pride because he knew something even more embarrassing was about to come up and he was certain the smart and cunning Supreme Commander wouldn't miss it like he had.

"Huh?"
Cale could hear Eric's confused voice.
"What is that?"
Cale then heard Taylor's anxious voice. Cale leisurely raised his head to look at the top of the Bell Tower.
"What?"
"Who is that?"
"What is going on?"

The mumblings of the crowd started to get louder. King Zed looked behind him, and then moved his gaze up the Bell Tower. Cale looked at the top of the Bell Tower and started to smile.
King Zed started to shout.

While TCF!Zed wanted to bury his head in the sand, TBOAH!Zed was gawking in both awe and jubilation – where in their world the bombs had already gone off, in the TCF!World, Cale Henituse had prevented it so smoothly that no one noticed at all. TBOAH!Alberu was also in awe and could only sit silently and hold his breath waiting for the main culprit to show himself like he had in their timeline.

"Who are you?!"
The knights and mages headed to the Bell Tower. The citizens started to get nervous about what was going on. They had no choice. A person appeared on top of the Bell Tower, and then more people in black attires started to appear on top of the buildings nearby as well.
"Get down this instant!"
"Everybody, head up to the top of the buildings now!"

Cale heard the voices of the knights nearby, and looked toward the man standing on top of the Bell Tower with black attire and a mask. It was the blood-crazy mage, Redika.  
'I was worried this would be different than the novel as well.'

If Redika did not show up, he would have needed the Black Dragon to reverse the flow of mana coming to the mana bombs in order to locate the hidden Redika, and allow Choi Han to kill him.  

The TCF!Dragons nodded in approval at Cale's logic, Raon at this age would have been more than capable of using such a request as a learning experience and growing from it, however it could have been dangerous since the child had only just started to understand and make use of his mana for the first time in his life recently. Regardless, they approve of Cale's back-up plan, especially because it didn't involve him overexerting himself.

Cale was relieved that he would not need to do that, and remembered the description in the novel. Redika's hand became covered in a red-colored mana. This punk was unique, in that people could see the color of his mana, even though he was a mage. He then swung his hand and announced as he had in the novel.
<"Should be fun.">
"Should be fun."

A chilling voice that sounded like metal screeching against one another, filled the plaza. Then, the red mana shot out to different spots in the plaza. That moment was exactly 9:01 am.

The sound effects from the Palantír filled the room – making the experience for everyone watching the records all the more captivating.

A vibration started from underneath the Bell Tower.  

Long beeps were heard from different locations within the Palantír alerting the audience that these were the places where the new mana bombs were disguised and hiding in plain sight.

Magic devices started to go off in multiple locations. The red mana that was flying toward the detonation devices inside the magic bombs suddenly lost strength and started to spin aimlessly in position.

It was the result of the mana disturbance. Then, it happened inside the plaza as well.

The beeping noise similar to what was heard that day in the Plaza come once again from the Palantír.
