The man woke up in the ruins.

Fires were rising into the sky, thick red mist floated in the air, the chest seemed to be burning, and the bloody smell in the nose made him almost unable to breathe.

The man tried to get up from the ground, and a severe pain immediately came from his lower body, which made him faint almost again.

Looking down, my legs disappeared at some point, and the wound was neatly cut off with one-size-fits-all.

The floor under him seemed to have suffered the same fate. Not only that, the whole house seemed to have been cut off by an invisible sharp blade, and the arc-shaped cut surface was as smooth as a mirror.

The thick fog made him only see the situation a few meters away. The man endured the severe pain and crawled two blood marks on the ground.

Pick.

Pick.

The viscous liquid dripped on the neck.

The man turned his head with difficulty and saw the most terrifying thing in his life.

Something was hanging from the charred ceiling.

It was a scarlet piece of meat, like the things in the meat bucket of the neighbor butcher's house grew together.

The red muscles are wrapped with irregular white fascia and yellow fat.

It has no organ that can be called a head, but it has five limbs of varying lengths and thicknesses. It grows twisted white bone spurs, making them look like the claws of skinned beasts.

The flames crackled, drowning the man's screams.

———————————————

Aegasa and the Administrator Pullman finally arrived in the east of the city.

Behind him were more than a dozen trainee mages from the academy and administrative hall, leading thousands of city defense and security teams equipped with revolver carbines.

They kept going deep into the fire, using the Zero Ring spell to suppress the fire, connecting the safe zone Zach had created before, and finally opening up escape passages.

Fortunately, most of the residents went to Kingdom Square, and not many people were still "staying at home" at this time.

With the joint efforts of everyone, the fire in the east of the city was gradually controlled, and most of the surviving residents were rescued.

Aegsha and Pullman looked up and searched for their teacher's figure. However, the smoke and dust generated by the fire and the water vapor caused by the frozen hand had already enveloped the entire eastern city, completely isolated the eyes of everyone on the ground.

Just as everyone was about to continue to advance towards the center of Dongcheng District, Zach fell from the sky and landed in front of everyone.

"teacher!"

"teacher!"

The black-haired mage nodded, but his eyes were kept staring at the heavy red fog at the end of the street.

"You should have seen it too, it's very similar to the phenomenon described by Grantham."

He stroked his hair that was wet with water vapor, but felt a little sticky on his hands. He looked down and saw a bright red in his palm. He frowned. Zach turned around and said to his students:

"Telos should have arrived at the Mage Tower. You must be careful before the support arrives..." After thinking for a moment, he continued:

"Pulman, spread the city defense forces, surround the area covered by red fog, and set up defenses outside five hundred meters to ensure the field of view."

"yes!"

"Aegasa, let the trainee wizards focus on the defense of the west side and guard the wizard tower to ensure the smooth evacuation roads of residents."

"Yes. Teacher"

After saying that, Zach took off again and flew into the sky, and the trainee mages also led their respective troops to start their separate operations.

Seeing the people on the ground scattering according to their orders, the dense city defense teams "flowing" along the gaps in the building room like ants, Zach turned his gaze again to the red fog that was hundreds of meters away.

In the open view, Zach saw a little movement at the edge of the red fog.

Something "walked" out of it.

It was a red deformed piece of meat, slowly squirming on the bluestone road.

Before Zach found a better word to describe the creature, more and more pieces of meat crawled out of the red mist.

Some pieces of meat are two stories high, while others are only as big as cats and dogs.

In just a few breaths, hundreds of pieces of meat of different sizes and shapes appeared at the edge of the red fog.

At the same time, everyone on the ground also came to a place not far from the red fog and saw the strange phenomena that were happening.

The air became quiet for a moment, and no one knew what to react.

However, the monsters who saw the living creature suddenly became restless.

The miserable white spurs stretched out from the flesh and blood. They twisted and deformed, growing tentacles and limbs, and then stood up staggeringly.

Just as everyone was stunned by the scene in front of them, these pieces of meat of different shapes suddenly moved.

They used their own twisted and weird movements, either crawling, squirming, or bounced towards the city defense team surrounding them.

From Zach's perspective, the dense scenes made him remember the thrilling scenes when he stepped on a female cockroach to death in his previous life.

"Everyone! Fighting queue!"

A soft and loud voice calmed the riots.

Aegas frowned slightly. At this time, she had already put on a tight leather armor, and her long silver hair was tied into a ponytail that reached her waist.

Behind her was a team of people in brown robes, all of whom were professors, chairs and even rookie mages who were promoted several months ago.

Hundreds of fully armed urban defense and security teams were shuttled through the streets and quickly deploying defenses.

Hundreds of meters away, countless blood-red monsters were approaching quickly. They filled the streets and climbed over the walls and roofs on both sides of the street, as if a rushing red tsunami was flooding one building after another.

"Open fire!"

Bang bang bang bang bang bang.

The muzzle ejected flames. Bullets flew out, forming a fire net 200 meters away. Mars suddenly shot up on the bluestone ground, and wood chips flew on the houses next to the road.

‘Roller carbine.’ Agesha thought.

It is said that his teacher invented this weapon when he was an apprentice. Since then, this weapon quickly replaced the sword, spear and halberd, and became a standard weapon in the security army.

Although it cannot pose any threat to formal mages with regular defensive spells, it is enough to deal with ordinary humans and beasts.

It is said that when the teacher was still an apprentice, he had several lives of a trainee wizard.

But at this moment she was surprised to see that although the flesh and blood monsters that were shot in the distance fell to the ground under the influence of impact, and even clogs of flesh and blood fell from the roof from time to time, the injured monsters quickly got up and continued to rush towards the human defense line.

And further afield, more and more monsters are gushing out of the red fog, as if endless.

Soon, the red wave approached people's defense.

The female mage took a step, spread her five fingers, and an orange-red fireball flew out of her palm, and exploded a bloody and flesh column in the rushing blood tsunami.

Behind her, more trainee mages began to release their magic.

With the cover of spells, the carbine team quickly alternated in front and back rows, and continued to maintain uninterrupted blocking firepower while filling.

Gunshots came from all directions, and the same battle was being staged elsewhere.

Zach, who was floating in the air, still stared at the red mist intently.

The vaguely shaking shadow made him tense up.

The shadow was very huge and did not look like these flesh and blood clumps on the ground.

‘So many unknown creatures, is there a large portal in it...but this kind of monster looks very primitive. How could it master such advanced reality twisting ability...’

But there are too many monsters on the ground. The city defense line is constantly retreating, and casualties have even occurred in several blocks.

He finally couldn't help but take action.

A bright white [Wall of Flame] appeared out of thin air on the ground, covering the most jeopardized streets of war, instantly burning dozens of pieces of meat into coke.

However, just as Zach was distracted, the red mist suddenly became restless and tumbling.

A huge shadow shot out from the red mist and stabbed directly at Zach in the air.

Zach's mouth smiled.

‘Catch you!’
