Remnants anomaly

Leon calmed down after about an hour of rampaging in the forest and thinning the population of the grim in the area to record lows. after that he just flew up high to enjoy the conditions of the air so far above the ground. it was a thing that most people simply can't comprehend , the freedom and peace that could only be found in the sky. leon took a moment every now and then to appreciate the sensation before returning to thing real world were everything can and will go wrong.

Leon didn't return to vale immediately after he was done but rather went to mount glen to give the workers there a bit of help. magic had a lot of emphasis on the intent behind it as well as the image you hold in your head. this meant that for leon who had the entire blueprints of the new city perfectly stored in his head down to the last screw construction jobs like this were easy. despite this leon still had a habit of constructing things by hand at least once when it came to mass producing things.

This time wasn't any different as he fully assembled one of the outer walls laser turrets by hand still much faster than anyone else there before using his magic to construct another fifty in short order. four hundred and fifty turrets , that was the amount that the outer wall was going to have when it was complete. that sounds like a lot but when you consider that each turrets was the size of a person and the wall was over fifty miles long that no longer seemed like a lot. this was one of the few things that made cities in this world unique compared to earth as basically the entire population of a kingdom fit inside a single city comfortably.

Granted this was more out of necessity than choice but it was still true that unlike earth the majority of the population was centered around only four locations. There were of course exceptions to this such as with tye who lived far from the city in a house by itself. but most of the time these exceptions were created because of a hunter or group of hunters that simply didn't want to live in the city for whatever reason. very rarely will these small pockets of people evolve into towns and not once have they evolved into cities throughout history.

The reason for this was of course because of the grim who start to gather whenever a large group of people gather in a single location. leon had the city planned in such a way that the grim weren't a problem however. see the turrets were merely a single facet of the defenses that the city will have as there was an electrical field surrounding the city for a mile in every direction. This field was hidden most of the time but when activated it will create a massive area of intense electrical energy that anything walking over will get zapped into a crispy state in seconds in.

This was the protection mechanism for ground based grim while for the aerial ones leon had a massive set of four plasma cannons that had pin point accuracy for two miles and could fire twenty times in five seconds. this was enough too since each shot had the penetrative power to punch a hole through a small mountain in a split second. to put this into perspective if monstra were to show up at this city it would be full of holes before salem even had time to react.

Speaking of salem she was currently in a VERY bad mood since not only did she lose monstra by teleporting away before the explosion could claim her and her people but she was positive that the artifact that was in atlas is now under leon's protection. this was by far the worse outcome she could have expected as she knew without a doubt that leon would be next to impossible to steal from if he really wanted to hide something. She almost couldn't believe it at first but she verified that leon could indeed reach orbit or higher.
