As soon as we entered this city we soon fell into some kind of illusion or should I say that I activated this illusion somehow, Ragnar and Hela say that this is not an illusion, Ragnar even says that it looks more like some kind of memory than the Ghosts do by continually reliving certain events.
It was in this strange environment that that thing appeared through the gates of the capital city.
I was shocked by the appearance of the monster which was some kind of crocodile with a humanoid head and tentacles instead of limbs entered the city, its body seemed to be made of a thick liquid substance that somehow managed to take the shape of this monster.
Screams! Screams!!!
“■□□?°■□●°”
Before this monster appeared no sound could be heard, the first sound I heard was the city gate being destroyed, after that, it was the screams of fear and despair of people who started to speak in a language I don’t know.
Rooooaarrrrr!!!!!!
The monster passed us, I tried to touch it, but just like earlier with the Adventurer, I tried to touch the place I touched it turned to mist before returning to the monster.
The monster passed destroying everything in its path, it crushed people simply by going over them, in addition, its tentacles swung around the surroundings destroying everything, while the monster passed the city was destroyed and everyone in its path was torn to pieces.
I saw Adventurers and Soldiers managing to land blows, spells, and techniques on the monsters using a strategy that sacrificed some, but it was all in vain, their attacks were for nothing as the monsters didn’t suffer any scratches.
The monster even ate the bodies, and after a few minutes the monster destroyed more than half of the city, in addition, a strong miasma spread from the monster to the whole city as the monster destroyed everything, so even the normal people who manage to keep away from the monster were slowly dying.
“■□□□□■■□○■□□●■□□□●●”
“< ■□■□□□□■□■■□ >”
Soon an old man appeared before the monster, he had come from the castle, he didn’t look at the monster, he looked at a six-pointed star-shaped jewel on the monster’s back.
When the old man saw the jewel, he started crying and said something in the same unknown language as before, he also started to use powerful magic, the old Demon’s fight against the monster took two days that passed quickly in a few minutes.
The fight of the two destroyed the city and caused the death of all the inhabitants, the worst of all was the monster consuming the bodies to heal which prolonged the fight and left the old Demon tired after such a long battle.
Because of that, the old man’s body was half destroyed, he had lost 2 legs and 1 arm keeping himself afloat using magic, all this time the old man was always crying with a sad look on his face.
When the monster was almost completely defeated, gray energy came out of its body like a wave spreading beyond the city’s leisure, at that moment the old Demon with tears in his eyes used an artifact that emitted purple and pink energy that turned the monster into stone that broke into pieces.
I saw the Old Man with this item in his hands from the beginning I felt he was using his vitality as a source of energy to run such a thing, that’s why it took him so long to use this thing, but now it’s too late, the city is destroyed and the His Kingdom’s population also disappeared.
Soon after the old man fell into a pool of blood, he stayed there for a little while before crawling over to the broken remains of the monster, he picked up and hugged with his one arm the star-shaped jewel of his spots that lay behind his back of the monster.
“□■□□… ■■■□… ●¤●… ■■”
The old man said something I can’t understand as he cried hugging the jewel that looking like this is almost as tall as a person.
As the old man was wasting his time I saw the broken parts of the castle in the middle of the city rebuilding itself into a ruined castle full of miasma, just beyond the castle gates came a wave of Undead monsters.
The old man looked towards the castle and ran to a tower that was close to the temple area while taking the jewel with him.
It was at this moment that this wave of undead monsters changed direction, now they were coming towards us as the image of the city returned to the current ruins covered in strange plants and trees.
“I guess this wave of monsters is not an illusion, right?” (I)
“Are they real, do you want me to deal with them?” (Hela)
“…” (I)
I spread my Aura with some difficulty this time as if something was trying to stop me, but even so, I was able to feel the general force of this wave of monsters.
“It has two Catastrophe Grades and almost all the others are SSS Grade.” (I)
“Can you take care of the spectral monsters, Hela?” (I)
“If it was just a few dozen or maybe less than 200, then yes, but with those numbers, it’s going to be difficult, and that’s mainly because of the favorable environment for them.” (Hela)
“If I weaken them, can you use the Phantom Orb to absorb them?” (I)
“Without help from the Skeleton Dragon or the magic I used before, so no, I can’t use either option at the moment either.” (Hela)
“I would have to take care of a few at a time, it would be faster and easier to just destroy the enemies.” (Hela)
“I take care of the Ghosts, so Sakura and Layla will distract the others and help us escape.” (I)
“Have we been discovered…” (Vanessa)
“We don’t have time to think about it right now.” (I)
“< Spiritual Web >” (I)
I manipulate lines that were created using my spirit energy, then use my Aura to increase their power while increasing my control over that line.
I create a large spider’s web in the sky that quickly captures the spectral monsters that try to break free, but I control the web and tie these monsters’ wheels into cocoons that I grab to drag with me.
I make the Fairies take this thing to the Dungeon and take it away from the city, I also left a message for the others to keep an eye on it until I get back.
“< Fairy Illusion >” (Layla)
“< Nature’s Prison >” (Sakura)
