Chapter 1788: Several Unexpected Events
It was like a combination between steampunk cities and the wild west, most houses were made of scrap metal and there were giant factories here and there. Large buildings in the center that seemed to be where the governing parties did their duties.
The entire town, or perhaps the small city, was surrounded by large walls made of metal, with giant towers with blue jewels on top. I noticed a powerful barrier surrounding the city.
[Civilization sighted! You have discovered the [City of Lost Souls: El Perdido], where people of all walks in life gather for a new opportunity.]
[Try visiting the city, perhaps you'll learn some things. However, what about the train? Won't you lose it?]
"We're out of the swarm!" Benladann cried. "Quickly, Drake, go down!"
"Aaagh, they're following us?!" Miranda panicked.
BBZZZTTTT!!!
Even as we were away from their large swarm, the scavengers quickly rushed down towards us, a swarm of at least another one thirty of them. These were weird though, burlier, muscular, carrying giant weapons made out of their own exoskeletons.
However, the rest of the swarm remained behind and didn't come down with us, meaning that they actually don't move too much out of their territory.
Unless they have a personal vendetta against us, and their alternative is sending their warriors to kill us and bring them our dead bodies, dammit!
[The Swarm of [Azure Sand Scavengers (Rank 10+)] has calmed down and decided to not engage against you anymore.]
[However, their personal vendetta doesn't end! Those that kill their kind must pay with their lives.]
[Thirty [Azure Sand Scavengers Soldiers (Rank 10+)] have seen sent to deal with you! Unlike the rest of the swarm, they will persecute you until the end of Earth.]
"Fucking hell, we're not done yet!"
I quickly spun my body, facing the insectoid aliens as they rushed towards me all at once. Quickly, I released the power of my Armor, all the damage it accumulated immediately summoning {Holy Abyssal Dungeon Monster Spirit Bombs}.
Hundreds of massive dungeon monsters made of golden light and darkness emerged one after another, clashing against all the Warrior Scavengers and pushing them back momentarily.
"SHYAAAH!"
However, these things were not only ugly and big, but fierce! With furious roars, they swung their weapons, slashing apart my summons within seconds.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
However, each summon that was killed exploded, the darkness summons released [Abyssal Dungeon Curse] to foes upon death, lowering their stats. Meanwhile the light summons released [Holy Dungeon Blessing] buffs upon all of us, decreasing damage taken.
Two out of thirty of them died after that initial wave of attacks, twenty-eight were left! "Prepare yourselves! We can't bring these to the city, and there's a barrier there too, I would rather not cause trouble to those people!" I said. "We're finishing them off right now!"
"Alright then! We're going all out now that we're out of the swarm?!" Benladann smiled. "Because I am!"Yôur favorite stories at novelhall.com
"Me too!" Miranda roared.
RUMBLE!
The two made the skies shook as black lightning and thunder surged from their bodies, miasma and chaos embraced them into temporary cocoons that broke down immediately after, revealing giant Chaos Dragons.
Covered with black, dark purple, and red scales, although primarily black, sharp ends and horns all over their bodies, long necks and small, xenomorph-like heads with sharp fangs, my two wives went wild.
Benladann's Chaos Dragon form was humanoid, fusing with her Titan Bloodline, her head looked gentler and her eyes bright and purple and red, resembling a lizardman dragon instead.
She was a Divine Primordial Chaos Dragon Titan.
Meanwhile, Miranda was more chimeric, with many arms and legs, dozens of tails and six wings, although they all had the black scales and purple scales to unify their appearance, each limb was as if they belonged to another creature.
"Then let's go!"
We quickly returned to our humanoid forms, as we reached the city's walls, reaching the gates
that were open, several guards were there.
And yeah, the people of this trial were... not normal. There were people made of scrap metal, others that resembled green-skinned humans with antenna, some were like grays, and a few
were just too alien to recognize.
"What with all these freaks?" Miranda wondered, as we flew towards the entrance.
"There's so many species I have never seen before, who are these people?!" Benladann was
slightly fascinated.
"Most likely aliens species..." I said. "The three suns, the scavengers, and this whole damn world, it's already clear we're not in any known world, not Earth, not Yggdrasil, not
Zipangu..."
"But does that means there's even more worlds out there?" wondered Miranda. "Or maybe...
was this recreated all on its own?"
"Maybe it could be a fictional world," I said. "It doesn't have to previously exist... Well,
whatever the case, we have to-"
CHOOOOHH! CHOOOOHHH!!!
As we were aiming to enter the city, the train already started departing!
"Wait, no!"
We were about to fly and catch the train midair but...
Crack, crack...!
CRAAASH!
A huge spatial portal opened where the train was going towards, only for it to be torn apart
even wider and...
For something to emerge from it!
It resembled a giant blue whale covered on black tentacles, with giant bug-like eyes.
"Ah shit! A Space Whalebug?!"
One of the guards complained, as the giant whale stood in the middle of the spatial portal, the
train quickly came to a halt before it was to crash with it.
"0000HHHHHH...! GROOOHHH..."
The giant space-traveling alien seemed to be in pain, groaning. Was it stranded?
What the hell is going on now?!
