Chapter 422 The Unexpected Guest [Bonus ]



Everyone turned in the direction from which the growl had come.

This was a sight that no one had ever seen before.

From up ahead, the sand part like the red sea as it appeared.

At the borders of this usually peaceful dystopian city, a nightmarish scene had finally unfolded as a colossal mutated beast emerged from the barren desert sands.

This abomination, an octopus of monstrous proportions, defied the laws of nature as it slithered through the arid terrain. Its tentacles, thicker than ancient tree trunks and covered in gnarled, armor-like scales, writhed with malevolent intent.n0VeLusB.c0m

The creature's eyes, eerie orbs that gleamed with an otherworldly intelligence, fixated on the city beyond.

The city of Milk and Honey was a fortress, surrounded by towering walls that seemed impenetrable. The people who dwelled within believed themselves safe, shielded from the horrors of the wastelands.

After all, that was the way it had always been.

The Aura of the Primordial beast ensured this was so.

But this mutated octopus, a product of relentless experimentation between mother nature and the amalgamation of different magic, and an unforgiving environment, was a harbinger of doom.

Its beak, sharp as obsidian and capable of tearing through steel, hungered for destruction. As it approached, the ground shook beneath its massive bulk, causing tremors that rattled the city's very foundations.

First was the Awe of the appearance of such a creature and then came the realization that it did not stop in its advance.

Instead, it progressed even further. Next came the screams as they ran for safety.

Suddenly, desperation filled the hearts of the city's defenders as they gazed upon the approaching monstrosity.

The octopus's deafening roar echoed through the desert, drowning out the cries of fear from the inhabitants.

Those guards that had gathered to fight Perseus all paused as they were now faced with a much larger, significant threat.

For many of them, it was the sudden screams of people that brought them out of their heads.

This was just outside the City of Milk and honey, but there were still hundreds of people camped here.

These people, many of them, had lived very peaceful lives here for a very long time.

It was said that the City of Milk and Honey was so peaceful that even the mosquitoes were scared to cause problems here.

This was such a place. At least, it used to be.

Lenny had already advanced a certain distance into the city when he heard the roar of the beast.

Instantly, he turned about to see the monstrosity as it bravely approached.

instantly, Lenny remembered the Mission Statement that had come from the Satan System.

He could not help but coil a smile.

After all, the Mission statement was that he would be awarded five hundred points for defeating such a beast.

Without a waste of time, he kicked against the ground with extreme force as he leaped high into the air, and over the high walls.

Lenny was already a ranked 5 lesser demon, his abilities were very far reaching and at this stage, he was already a monstrosity of his own.

Meanwhile, the octopus, with its many tentacles stretched for a snack.

Its tentacles wrapped around a vessel like bread around a sausage, tightening its hold around the Vessel. Its tentacles closed the gaps between one another as it tightened up.

"Abandon ship! Abandon ship!!" the pirates screamed as many of them dived out of the Vessel for the safety of their lives.

Unfortunately, Victor was on this very vessel.

Like the others, he ran for safety.

However, as he tried to jump, his hoodie got stuck on a pole, holding him in place.

He struggled and tried to free himself, but it was no use. He could not help himself out of the pole.

Meanwhile, smaller tendrils shot out of the Octopus's body, Catching the humans that had tried to escape the vessel.

It wrapped them up, and slowly, it pulled them into its mouth.

Many screamed for help and others tried their best to escape, but it was all no use.

The creature opened its wide mouth as it threw them into the abyss that was its stomach.

Victor saw this and struggled even more, but it was no use.

He just couldn't get loose.

Meanwhile, the moment the creature appeared, the city bells in the City of Milk and Honey went off in blazing alarm.

For a city that had a very long history of being peaceful, this alarm was a total surprise.

In fact, most people in the city were not aware of what to do during an emergency situation.

They just stared at each other blandly.

Then again, such was the nature of peace. It had a habit of dulling the senses.

Outside the city, many of the guards rushed for the giant creature. As they did, they morphed into their Werewolf form.

Each one of them became ferocious white wolves with fangs and claws.

~AWOOOL~ AWOOOL~ AWOOL~

Loud howls went out as they rushed for the giant beast. These guards, at no matter the cost, were going to defend their home.

They attacked with a ferocity that originated from their incredible bloodline.

They were incredibly organized as many of them mounted the giant mutated creature that towered over a hundred meters high.

Their incredible jaws, biting and chewing, ripping apart the creature's tough flesh as best they could.

This made the Octopus wail in pain.

Its tendrils no longer targeted the pirates, but it attacked the soldiers, swatting them like flies.

For many, their armor helped them defend against the attack. But most guards ended up getting injured.

After all, these armors were all of different grades according to rank.

Nevertheless, that did not stop them from rushing for it.

It was only a matter of time before, the beast's blood gushed in all directions.

It whined in pain.

And it was at this time that it happened.

Little openings appeared all over its body.

And then an echo went out in all directions. It was low, but in the minds of all that were unfortunately too close, it was as loud as if they could hear the drowning beat of their own hearts.

Instantly, the guards fell off the beast's body, many of them bleeding from their orifices.
