If so, then I greatly underestimated that core! It looked like a nuclear weapon of old human days, not just a mere and simple source of energy.
Should I stop? Retreat back to the chariot and shield myself there?
For a moment, I seriously considered doing this. But the next moment I ditched such an idea.
I looked back, and all I saw was fear, doubt, and confusion over the faces of the youths here.
They… Were like kids playing with fire without realising they could start a big fire that might take away their entire home.
So I had to go deeper, unlock more of this energy so they'd learn what they were dealing with.
If I wasn't around, and one of these youths triggered the explosion of that energy, then things would go south for all of them.
Even with my presence, all I could help with was to summon my chariot to help them.
