"What's happening!!!"
"The Deities are angry!!!"
"What do you mean, the Deities are angry! It's an earth tremor—a surge of Magic Power in the earth's veins! Get to open ground, lie flat, and be careful."
As the Magic Crystal Ore deep beneath the center of the swamp began to upgrade in quality, vast quantities of new ore started growing explosively underground.
The new Magic Crystal Ore spread downward and outward, violently compressing the surrounding rock strata.
And so, a powerful tremor erupted within the Swamp Territory.
In the towns of the Swamp Territory, the people were in a complete panic. Some threw themselves to the ground, while others scrambled for open spaces and quickly crouched down.
Clearly, the people of this world had their own understanding of the concept of an earthquake.
Earth tremors—or a sudden, violent surge of Magic Power deep underground—were often the true cause of earthquakes in this world.
