Rhode held onto the handrail as the ground shook his feet. The crowd below were unperturbed, as they were powerful presences that had entered the Legendary Stage. Meanwhile, the guards beside him remained calm and didn't seem to react to the earthquake.

"Do earthquakes occur often here?" Rhode asked one of the guards. He couldn't recall that Soraka Mountain was prone to earthquakes. However, the guards seemed to be used to such a magnitude of an earthquake, which was somewhat strange. The guard turned around and responded respectfully. "It isn't the case, Sir. The earthquakes have only begun quite recently. Their durations were usually short and with low magnitudes, so everyone has gotten used to it."

"Oh? Since when did the earthquakes start to happen occasionally?"

"About two to three months back… Come to think of it, it has been quite a while."
