Mag had a good sleep.
His wife, his child, and a warm bed.
Such a simple and blissful vision had come true for Mag.
Although he was sleeping on the floor, that did not decrease his sense of satisfaction when looking at the two soundly sleeping on the bed.
After getting up gently and was.h.i.+ng up, Mag went downstairs, wrote a notice, and pasted it on the door: Creating new addition to menu, closed for three days starting from today!
The arrival of the people from Moon Nation was a booster shot for the initially tense situation.
However, this did not mean that they would definitely be able to seal the devil back. The time left for them was limited, and any mistake could cost them a heavy price of facing a terrifying devil.
Although support from the various races was already on the way, if the first batch of powerhouses were unable to stop the devil, Chaos City, which was a mere 15 kilometers away from the Thunderstorm Mountains, would be the first to take the hit.
Telling the residents of Chaos City the reality of the situation would definitely cause widespread panic.
Where could they run to?
Chaos City was located at the center of the entire continent. That meant that the devil was also situated at the center of the continent. It could choose to go on a killing spree in any direction.
Most of the residents of Chaos City were ordinary people.
They did not have rides that could travel thousands of kilometers, nor did they have pa.s.ses that could allow them into the borders of the other races’ territories.
This was the reason the city lord’s castle sealed off all information leaks.
If even the strongest powerhouses were unable to stop the devil, running away would be futile.
Mag thought that Chaos City could not be blamed for that.
He could be certain that even until the very moment Chaos City met the devil, the people from the city lord’s castle and Gray Temple would die first, defending the residents from outside the city.
Mag also needed more time to take part in this battle. He could not continue to mult.i.task with running the restaurant and cooking.
Mag had already informed Miya and the rest about the restaurant’s closure, and they also understood that the current situation was tricky.
“Is it just the three of us for breakfast?” Irina asked Mag, who was bringing out the steak, while she sipped on her soybean milk.
“Yes. I told Gina to go home for a few days during the break.” Mag nodded as he cut the steak up into small pieces for Amy.
“It’s quite a huge loss to close the restaurant for three days.” Irina looked at Mag with a smile. She knew just how much Mag cared about the restaurant’s business.
“It’s alright. Whatever losses we make can be gotten back from some fellow sooner or later.” Mag was rather calm. As long as the people from Moon Nation could repair the seal, the system would then be able to build an octopus tentacle processing plant. When the time came, he would then do a huge launch on octopus tentacles, and earn the losses of these three days back.
Irina smiled and did not speak further. A man who knew how to earn money was naturally great.
“Father, what should Amy do if you are going to save the world?” Amy looked at Mag as she chewed on her steak.
“Amy just needs to be cute,” Mag said with a smile.
“Aight.” Amy nodded, a little confused.
“Where does Amy want to go and play today?”
Amy thought for a while, and said, “I want to go to Big Sister Miya’s ice cream shop to play. All the big sisters are there today. I’ll play all day there, then.”
“Alright. Then I’ll send you over later.” Mag nodded. He was also relieved for Amy to be with Miya and the rest.
“Are we letting them leave first?” Irina suddenly asked.
Mag naturally knew what she meant. He fell silent for a while before looking her in the eye, and said, “I think it’s not necessary for now.”
“If we really meet with the worst-case scenario, I will get Ah Zi to bring them away,” Mag continued.
“Mm-hm.” Irina nodded, and did not ask further.
After breakfast, Mag sent Amy to the ice cream shop, and turned into a small alley. When he exited from the alley, he was already geared up.
Mag took a trip to the Thunderstorm Mountains and went underground. However, he did not enter the cave. He stayed outside to chat with Novan for a while.
The good news was that the appearance of Jonas and the other professionals helped them decipher almost all the scriptures within a night, and they were now in the checking phase. This afternoon, they would be able to finish deciphering everything.
However, the troublesome part was that this spell formation was way more complicated than they had expected. Therefore, things were not looking optimistic for repairing it in two days with regard to the time and materials they had.
“Wish you good luck.” Mag turned to leave. He had no knowledge of spell formations, and had no materials to help them with it. Therefore, he would not meddle with these things.
However, he could get some information from what Novan said.
Even if they had sufficient materials, it would be very difficult to repair the spell formation before it lost effectiveness.
That meant that they would need to buy more time for the spell formation masters, and prevent the devil from leaving the area.
He, at 9th-tier, almost got killed by that octopus monster.
However, he had already gotten his strength. Therefore, he decided to find a place to electrocute himself so that he could get back to his peak.
Mag found himself a nice place, and was about to receive the thunder strike when he suddenly asked, “Oh, right, System, can this thunder strike pose substantial damage to this octopus monster?”
“According to experiments, once the electricity reaches a certain voltage, it could result in a numbing effect on any organism. The extent would depend on how strong the bolt is. Thunder and lightning are part of nature, and all these are the rules of nature.
“After you’ve upgraded your strength, you would be able to attract a strong thunder strike. Right now, everything within 10 meters of you would be considered as one with you. The magnitude of the thunder strike would be directly proportional to the strength of the person,” the System said.
“Fantastic!”
Mag’s eyes lit up. He immediately gave up the thought of striking himself.
Even if he regained his 10th-tier, he would merely be able to cut off a few pieces of the octopus monster’s tentacles with his sword. That would not make much difference to the situation.
However, if he could do the thunder strike with the octopus monster…
Hehe.
Just thinking of that scene felt exhilarating.
“Bro, if there’s a chance, let’s go through this ordeal together!”

“Aye… What a depressing day…”
Outside of Mamy Restaurant, Vanessa and Abraham sighed at the same time when they saw the notice at the door.
“Alright. Since it’s not open, let’s go,” Abraham said disappointedly.
“Luckily I had two rounds of hot pot yesterday. I have no regrets,” Vanessa consoled herself as she followed behind Abraham, and boarded the horse-drawn carriage.
“I feel that there is no need for me to return to Rodu. Look at how orderly Chaos City is. No one is treating it as a big deal,” Abraham told Josh, who was sitting opposite of him.
Vanessa took a sneak peek at Josh, and did not say anything.
“Uncle Abraham, this is Royal Father’s wish. You have also been out here for quite some time. It is time to go back to take a look..” Josh pulled out an envelope, and pa.s.sed it to Abraham.
