Chapter 902: No, something's wrong
Chapter 902: No, something's wrong
While the Awakened Associations were preparing to be drafted to Ironcreek, in the east of the Federation, in the city of Radclay, the situation was more tense.
Redclay was much bigger than Ironcreek, and due to the lack of city leadership, the city plunged into panic and chaos, which the Kingdom Guild members faced.
Hazel, dressed as a Sand Valkyrie with four massive wings made of sand, appeared at the next point where riots broke out. The crowd began looting one of the city's shopping malls, stealing various items and clashing with each other.
She had already seen many similar situations that night, and it seemed to her that it would never end.
Hazel unleashed her Soul Force, suppressing all the troublemakers.
"Ah!" The pressure of the Gold-ranked Valkyrie was unbearable to ordinary mortals, and everyone who fell into the range of her power fell to the ground, unable to move.
With her eyes closed, Hazel waved her hands like a conductor, creating spells one after another. She bound all people into chains of sand, and no one could escape her Soul Force. In a matter of minutes, she caught and tied them all up, after which she smiled with satisfaction.
"We just have to wait for Irene," she said, opening her eyes, enjoying the result of her work.
Then, using her connection with her Doppelganger, she checked on the other side of the city. Soon, she nodded, pleased that her Doppelganger was doing well too.
Her gaze turned to the large square where many people were flocking. There was almost a second sun in the sky above this square, illuminating the city center.
The light emanating from his body in the form of an Alpha of Light with wings of light on his back had an incredible effect on ordinary people. He not only healed them, but also instilled peace and hope.
Idan is like a messiah who descended into this doomed city to save its inhabitants. His presence greatly simplified the evacuation process.
She and the others only had to deal with the areas of the city where Idan's power did not reach.
Irene, following Hazel, used her full power to manipulate the residents and convince them to pack up and evacuate. From time to time, she glanced anxiously at the bright dot above the square.
Every time she looked at her brother, her anxiety increased. She could feel her heart racing. Irene understood that her brother was taking a big risk by taking on such an important role.
His levitation not only made him very visible, but also took a lot of energy, exuding a huge amount of the element of Light. Moreover, his actions became a symbol of hope for the residents of the city, but at the same time, he was an enemy to the Federation and others.
"I hope you know what you're doing, brother," Irene said, taking another look at Idan. She then continued to carry out her task without restraining or limiting her strength to moral principles.
Meanwhile, at the city border, the group led by Arslan was finishing the battle with another wave of evolved beasts.
"Finally!" one of the group members exclaimed as he watched the last silver—ranked wolf fall. There were many corpses of various kinds of beasts lying around them, and there was a thick and unpleasant smell of blood in the air.
There were not only humans among the Guild members, but also their tamed gold-ranked beasts. Immediately after the battle ended, they began to devour the meat of silver-ranked beasts without asking to restore their strength.
"Collect the corpses of the Golden—ranked beasts," Arslan commanded, and the others, obeying his order, began to search and put the bodies in magic bags.
Everyone understood that the Guild would need the bodies, and the meat of some beasts would be given to Sofia so that she could cook her delicious dishes.
At the memory of the delicious dishes that Sofia cooks, some people's stomachs rumbled.
However, just as they finished and were about to rest, there was a signal of a new wave of beasts approaching, already not far from their location.
"What is it again?" One of the group members exclaimed.
Arslan frowned. This was the fourth wave in such a short period of time. They usually had plenty of time to rest, but this time new waves started appearing too often.
"No, something's wrong," Arslan said. "There's definitely something wrong here."
Taking out his {Whisper Talisman}, Arslan contacted Nayla, whose group was operating on the opposite side of the city.
"Do they have the same situation?" he asked, and the concern in his voice increased when he heard the same thing from her.
"Get ready for battle," Arslan commanded his companions, and although they looked a little tired, they obeyed with alacrity.
Only Arslan's doppelganger was beaming with a wide smile, anticipating new challenges and looking forward to the approach of a new wave of Beasts.
Arslan himself, unlike his doppelganger, began to realize that something was amiss, and he was gripped by a bad feeling.
***
In the city of Nordist, refugees were continuously coming out of the newly opened Kingdom Guild branch. Their flow did not stop for a minute and seemed endless.
City services were working hard to cope with the influx of refugees. Even in the morning, despite the fatigue, local services continued to work, distributing refugees to new accommodation points.
A group of suspiciously dressed armed men appeared in one of the dark alleys of the city, overlooking one of the main roads along which the refugee convoy was traveling.
There were both mortals and bronze-ranked cultivators among them. Only the leader of the group, who had a silver rank, stood out from the general background.
All their eyes were fixed on the approaching refugee convoy.
"Get ready," the leader commanded, and the others, nodding silently, began to take out their weapons and prepare for battle. Some even pulled out grenades and waited for the command to throw them.
As they waited with bated breath for the moment of action, none of them noticed how the black shadows behind them began to move, and a lone figure came out of the alley.
This figure had long black hair and an elegant black Kingdom Guild uniform.
He had a big smile on his face, and his eyes were as black as the abyss itself.
