"The enemy's goal is to kill all living things. They kill the locals."
Simon's voice rang out.
He noticed that none of the enemies had a common goal, each of them was moving towards more populated areas.
The goal of each enemy was crystal clear: to kill all living beings.
It was completely different from what they had previously imagined.
There was no breach of ritual or any ulterior motive.
It was just a massacre, a need for chaos.
"Roar!"
A dragon's roar came from the sky.
Urulius, who had been hiding nearby, flew in, cutting through the air in a straight line.
Rainbow energy burst out, rushing downwards.
A straight, iridescent beam of light passed over her.
A group of enemies turned straight into crystals.
"Break the crystals, kill them."
These words were heard in the frightened minds of the simple inhabitants below, who were being hunted.
The Crystal Dragon delivered the message and immediately left, heading in another direction.
Encounter with a monster sealed in crystal.
These ordinary inhabitants were gripped by fear, hesitant to attack the creature trapped within. They thought only of escape.
"Ah, ah!"
The little boy broke free from his parents' arms, grabbed a stone from the road and threw it with all his might at the crystal.
The stone formed an arc and struck the crystal without causing any harm.
"Abella, what are you doing?" his mother ran up in fear, trying to hold the child back.
"Didn't you say you would break the crystal?"
"But..."
Before the mother could finish speaking, the strong man grabbed a wooden stick and hit the crystal hard with it.
Instantly, cracks appeared in the crystal.
More people joined us.
"Eastern District 4, the defense there is weak, and the enemy is hunting for the residents.
Western District 8, the enemy is outnumbered and the soldiers are unable to hold them back.
There are two wounded soldiers in Eastern District 13 who are unable to move. They need help or they will have a hard time surviving.
..."
Various pieces of information began to appear, and Alka read the text displayed on the mirror in his hand.
At that moment, a pair of pitch-black hands extended from behind Alka's back.
A faint black, misty aura surrounded him.
His face was furrowed with dark wrinkles, giving him a sinister appearance.
To deal with so many monsters, Alka had to kill efficiently. Mirmi's form didn't offer any advantage in quick kills.
Looking at the maddened monsters around him,
With one wave of his hand, he released a black mist like a whip, wrapping itself around the monster and pulling it towards him.
A powerful force jerked the three-meter black monster back and dragged it forward.
Before he could come to his senses, Alka struck with his left hand.
One powerful blow landed on the monster's head, leaving a dent on it that looked like a flattened ball.
A strange liquid mixed with garbage splashed out.
Two mirror cards appeared in his right hand and were placed on the monster's body.
Two black hands behind him grabbed the corpse and threw it back.
The enormous force sent the two monsters, who were ready to attack, flying back.
"Clap!"
The cards on the monster exploded, killing two monsters behind it.
A blue ice bomb flew out, freezing one of the monsters in place.
And then a crystal crashed into him.
Jason came up from the side and smashed the crystal with his fist, shattering the monster's corpse into pieces.
"There's a problem. The emotions around us are filled with fear. These emotions of fear are merging into one.
"It's not just us, fear is spreading everywhere."
Alka frowned at Jason's words.
"Where do these emotions of fear converge?"
Jason shook his head and pulled out the mirror he used for communication.
Words appeared on the mirror.
"Emotions detected, South 3rd zone, light gray greenhouse."
"Tell Gillian."
...
The Sentinel patrol plane in the sky began to descend and fly quickly, making a buzzing sound.
"Yes yes yes yes..."
With the sound of bullets flying out, the monster was pierced by bullets before it could even notice the source of the attack.
His body was covered in bloody wounds. He collapsed to the ground, screaming.
"Help me!" came a woman's frightened cry from afar.
An undead monster, perhaps only at the second stage of its strength, slowly scratched at him.
The woman had a huge wound on her leg.
Invisible bullets pierced the undead monster.
He was instantly destroyed.
However, the enemy had been waiting for a long time on the petals above.
He jumped straight down and immediately grabbed hold of an invisible patrol plane that was hiding in the air.
"Ha-ha-ha! I get it!"
The monster laughed shrilly, desperately destroying the patrol plane with teeth and claws.
When he cut through the spell,
The patrol plane's camouflage disappeared, revealing its steel form.
Having revealed itself, the patrol plane rapidly deformed, releasing four claw-like devices that latched onto the monster's body. They latched onto each other.
While the monster was puzzled, a powerful blast erupted from the patrol plane, followed by a ball of blue light exploding.
The car and the monster disappeared from their original location.
"In Western District No. 1, a young girl was injured and left incapacitated."
When this news spread, Simon, who was standing under the Sky Flower, looked at Shi and said, "I'll leave the investigation to you."
Shi nodded, and the sleepy drowsiness vanished. Standing atop the structure, she looked up at him, her eyes shining with a blinding blue light.
The lower structure began to connect with it.
Invisible waves spread outward.
Mechanical devices scattered across six locations in the city also began to spread.
More and more sentry vehicles took off, attacking the monsters on the ground. A squad of soldiers clad in metal vine armor coordinated their assault on two enormous red-skinned monsters.
All the soldiers were at the second level of their strength, and the battle with two monsters was extremely difficult.
"Use shields to hold them back. Slow them down. Don't let them advance."
" said the captain, clutching his trident tightly. He lunged forward furiously.
However, the attack only left a few bloody holes in the monsters' bodies without causing them any harm.
He swung his fist forward furiously.
One of the warriors with a shield was thrown back several times, the pain in his arm forced him to endure it and continue moving forward.
Another monster clenched its fists, turned sideways and suddenly rushed forward.
Two soldiers with shields immediately fell to the ground and howled in pain.
The soldiers in the rear, armed with tridents, immediately rushed forward.
Using their weapons, they tried to restrain the monster's movements and pull out their comrades.
At that moment, a figure emerged from the shadows nearby.
The bloody blade in their hand sank straight into the monster's throat. Using their size, they grabbed the blade that had pierced the enemy and, with a single movement of their hand, crouched on its back.
With the other blade they slashed furiously across the back of the head.
With two sudden blows the enemy's head was cut off and hung on his neck.
The massive body collapsed immediately.
The figure on the back tried to move away, but the monster on the side had already noticed it.
A huge hand, like a mountain, fell down.
A magical shield enveloped the figure, counteracting the massive hand.
"Brother!"
The monster's strength instantly weakened: one eye was damaged. Covering it with its hand, it groaned incessantly.
A soldier standing nearby, noticing this, immediately pulled out his trident and plunged it into his joints, instantly stopping his movement.
A smaller figure jumped out of the shadows, the daggers on its forehead also flashing red as they pierced the back of its enemy's head.
There was a crying sound.
The monster immediately fell to the ground.
The man who dealt with the first monster was none other than Lu, the largest of the puppet army.
She stood up and said to the captain of the soldiers: "There are dozens of residents who need help."
"Yes, we'll be there soon. Thank you for your help."
The captain immediately began to organize his soldiers to carry the wounded and quickly moved in the direction indicated by Lou.
An invisible, conical spacecraft, over a meter long, descended from the sky. Externally, it looked very much like a patrol aircraft. On board the patrol aircraft were a puppet from the long-range combat team, a construct puppet operating the craft, and a human providing magical support.
It was a puppet team clearing the area of monsters.
"800 meters to the right, behind the flower, there are two level 2 monsters."
As soon as they gathered, Shi's voice rang out in their heads.
And San immediately disappeared into the shadows, and Lu hung his swords on the plane.
The three doll girls on board the plane quickly followed suit, operating the mechanisms.
...
"Damn it! Where the hell did these little people come from?" the man in the blood-red robe asked sternly, holding a massive scepter.
The subordinate nearby was dressed similarly, only now his robe was black and red.
Hearing the man's loud question, he only trembled and replied, "I don't know. I've never seen them before. They said they arrived here just a few days ago."
I heard that they used to help the church in the Emerald Fortress.
Hearing this answer, the growling man froze for a moment, frowning and thinking.
"How much fear has accumulated?"
Hearing this, the man standing below him was momentarily confused, not knowing how to react.
"Speak!"
"Less than half."
"What?" the man was clearly furious, his body shaking slightly under his robe.
Seeing this, a man nearby immediately fell to his knees.
"There are too many reinforcements here. Even though these guys are small, their strength is at level three.
This means we have no numerical advantage. This unexpected force is too great."
The sound of heavy breathing continued.
The man who reported this could only curl up on the ground and pray incessantly.
With a heavy sigh, the man was finally able to calm down.
"What other information do you have? Tell me all of it."
"The enemy is well aware of our movements throughout the city. Every time we almost achieve victory, they are stopped.
Near the altar are several powerful enemies, the likes of which we have never seen before, including a dragon.
A huge number of people gathered there, but not a drop of fear accumulated."
All news is bad.
"Complete knowledge?"
"Gather the blood slaves, gather them here."
"Huh?" the speaker was surprised.
"Can't you hear me?" His voice was full of impatience.
The man nodded several times. "Yes, sir. I'll do it right now."
He watched the man walk away.
Next to this man stood a massive, strong man, covered in blood stains.
"Why are we calling back these disparate blood slaves?"
Hearing the man's question, the man in black noticeably calmed down.
"Because we failed, these guys were just incredibly lucky."
"My God said we need more bloodshed and more gore. This isn't enough right now," the man said, his eyes glowing red and his face filled with rage.
Hearing this, the man in black frowned and looked at him.
"Since you want to kill, then I will instill all the fear in you later.
Whether you can meet your demands is up to you."
"That would be great."
Having said this, the man threw the axe over his shoulder and walked out.
We look at the man's back.
"What a brainless idiot! The God he believes in is also a madman."
Cursing, he turned and walked back.
…
"Giant blood-red monsters are moving in Eastern Sector 6.
Just like Northern Sector 3, all four are moving towards the place where fear converges.
That's where all the monsters gather."
Looking at the information that appeared on the mirror, Alka frowned.
Jason and Jilliana had already rushed there.
All of these giant blood-red monsters were in the fourth stage.
They were the most powerful of these monsters.
As they expected.
The enemy's advantage was the large number of third-stage monsters.
There were about 30 of them in total.
Add to this several second stage monsters transformed through special means and undead-like creatures that resisted the soldiers.
However, due to the appearance of the puppet girls on the battlefield and their special purpose,
the enemy did not gain any particular advantage.
Instead, because of their control over the overall situation, they quickly began to find themselves at a disadvantage.
However, casualties and death were inevitable.
The largest number of monsters were located near the altar in the square, but they had already been destroyed.
Looking at the situation around them.
A melodious song filled the ears of the crowd, and as it sounded, their hearts seemed to be filled with boundless courage.
It was thanks to Julia's courageous singing that the most crowded place here was the least dangerous.
After thinking for a moment, Alka said, "Juanlu, Julia. You two stay here and defend yourself with these soldiers."
"The rest of you, follow me. We'll catch up with Jason."
The group quickly rushed in the direction Jason had gone. "What's going on?" asked Sophia, standing nearby.
"Enemy forces are converging in the direction of fear, probably preparing for a decisive massive attack."
Their sudden appearance meant the failure of the enemy operation.
Alka and his companions had only been in the House of Fragrances for a few days, but the enemy must have been preparing for this for a long time.
Whether anyone noticed it at the time or not, many of their plans were already too late to be adjusted.
The damage caused by these monsters was limited.
But the investment is significant, and they are certainly planning to cause more destruction.
They were not the only ones involved: several detachments of soldiers in relatively good condition were heading in that direction.
"Come and see."
Sofia nodded, then immediately turned into a streak of light and disappeared.
Now they found themselves on the edge of the enemy's magic circle.
A squad of puppets hid secretly in the corner.
"Is this the place where the energy converges?" Er asked, turning his head.
San nodded, "I can sense terrifying forces gathering here."
"Do you want to come in?"
"Why not?" said Er.
Lily extended his hand and waved it, enveloping the group in pink energy.
They immediately disappeared from the scene.
"Be careful, don't let anything get out of control."
With these words, a small group of people slowly crept through the nearest corner.
Due to their small size, they could squeeze through tiny cracks that an ordinary person could not squeeze through.
At that moment, Jason and Gillian quickly ran towards that place with a group of soldiers.
The Crystal Dragon also moved upward, following their example.
A strip of light flashed next to them.
"Sophia? How did you end up here?" Jason asked, a little confused.
"Alka asked me to. They'll be here soon. All the surviving enemies are gathering here."
Hearing this, Gillian frowned.
The information she received indicated that the enemies in most territories were already on the move.
"Hurry up, let's hurry."
Everyone had a bad feeling about this.
Where was the enemy at that moment?
This place was once a grand hall filled with flowers and an elegant dining spot in the city.
But its inhabitants have long since been massacred.
Fortunately, there are only a few of them left.
A large amount of blood had accumulated in the center of the hall, forming a round, sickening magic circle with a Buddhist pattern in the center.
A blood-red sphere hovered above the magic circle, constantly expanding and contracting.
There was a man in black clothes standing behind.
And under the magic circle stood a strong man with blood-red marks.
"How long will it take!"
"Don't worry, it will be over soon."
