The earthquake shook the city to the core, the building collapsed, and the river overflowed. The chaotic sky rumbled as thunderous thunder echoed with a flash of lightning.
Under the heavy change in the atmosphere, Mullen and his friend stumbled backward, falling on their butt, gnashing their teeth.
Susan looked at Justin's face and said slowly. "It is about to begin."
"Hmm! Hmm!" Justin nodded. "Let's try our luck"
He turned and entered the 10-story building — a private hospital. Quickly, everyone followed him. Their hope is high since their last findings.
After entering the building for a couple of minutes, Susan's voice echoed throughout the building.
"I've got something."
At once, everyone rushed in her direction. When they arrived at her location, a brick of debris scattered with a steel door was thrown to the side.
This was a VIP section of the hospital and everything was secured and intact. Various health equipment, beds, and machines lay motionlessly waiting for them to pick up.
"Do we need everything?" Patrick, one of the young men following Mullen whispered.
Justin didn't bother to answer him as he commanded.
"Start packing."
p After a couple of minutes, everything on the VIP floor was swept clean. In front of the building, tons of loads pile up like a small mountain.
"How are we going to send them to the camp?" Mullen whispered.
"Let's chest the parking space for any available vehicle," Justin answered after thinking for a moment.
"You.." He pointed to Patrick.
"Guard them" With that, he disappeared.
Patrick rolled his eyes and looked at the chaotic atmosphere and shivered.
"Please don't keep me waiting." He murmured.
Justin and the group rush to the parking spot, searching for any available car as the dreadful rumbling in the sky continues to get chaotic every second.
"These cars had all been damaged. This is just a waste of time. We should find an alternative." Mullen said as he looked at the sky that seemed to collide with earth at any moment.
"Shut up and keep searching," Susan said coldly.
Justin moves from one packing spot to another scanning the space with his perception as he arrives at the underground parking space.
He stopped for a moment and looked at the almost empty parking space. Dry blood splattered on the ground with broken glasses scattered everywhere.
'Is our luck that bad…' He thought as he searched for a usable vehicle.
Suddenly, the deafening cry of a beast echoed outside the hospital and he halted his tracks turning to the cry direction.
'I guess we're running out of time.' He twitched his lips, trying to contain his annoyance.
He wanted to return to the camp but the fear of what was about to descend frightened him. He rather took a chance in the city than went back empty-handed.
Suddenly, he creased his brow and halted his track, looking at a particular. A damaged ambulance stood a couple from him but his attention was not on the ambulance. He quickened his pace and moved past the ambulance.
Behind the ambulance lay darkness that obstructed another ambulance. Seeing this, he rushed into the vehicle to check it out.
Vroom!
The ambulance roared to life and a loud laugh escaped from Justin's mouth. Quickly, he got off the vehicle and waved his hand, sending the damaged vehicle in front of him flying.
Outside.
Susan stood between two giant lizards as her whip danced toward one of the lizards. The back of the lizard was covered in thorns and streams came out of its mouth.

____Fire Thorn Lizard___

Circle: Second.
Ability: Fire thorns.

Seeing the incoming lighting attack, the Fire Thorn lizard tried to evade the attack but the attack was swift, hitting it back. Albeit, the second Fire Thorn Lizard shook its body as many red thorns flew out toward Susan at extreme speed.
Bang!
Hiss!
One of the lizards cried in pain, stumbling a couple of feet backward. However, there was a grave expression on Susan's face as she twisted her body while trying to avoid the red thorns.
Her purple robe dances back and forth as she evades the dangerous attack. When the last waves of the red thorn arrived a couple of feet from her; she swung her whip, creating an arc and a bolt of lightning flashed out.
"Lightning world." She muttered.
The lightning world swallowed all the thorns as it continued on its trajectory. The Lizard screamed and opened its mouth, shooting a ball of fire.
Boom!
The two attacks collided, raising a cloud of dust but a streak of lightning flashed out of the dust and came crashing on the lizard.
Bang!
The Lizard was sent flying as a deep cut appeared on its neck. It cried, grimacing in pain, shaking its long tail.
Vroom!
An ambulance appeared a couple of meters from the fight scenes and Justin jumped out. He looked at the fight for a moment before he looked at Mullen and his friend.
"What are you doing? Get to work." He commanded.
"Y-Yes." Mullen nodded as he quickly rushed to the mountain of equipment. Seeing Mullen racing toward the supply, the others swallow the lumps in their throat and chase after him.
"Are you that weak that you can't deal with two Second Circle beasts?" Justin's voice echoed in Susan's ears.
"I may have overestimated you." He clicked his tongue and shook his head.
"Don't talk nonsense. I'm just training my attack with them." Susan snapped as three golden circles appeared on her head.
"Lightning world." She shouted as she swung her whip twice.
The two Fire Thorn Lizards just recovered from the previous attack, ready for another round of battle when lightning flashes before them.
Bang! Bang!
The two lizards were sent flying a couple of meters as they destroyed houses on their path. When they finally stopped, their bodies were covered in rubble and burnt as smoke rose from their bodies. Deader than dead.
Susan turned her head in Justin's direction but she couldn't see him.
'What a frustrating prick. If I didn't teach him a lesson, he wouldn't respect me.' She vowed.
Vroom!
Two vehicles race in the chaotic atmosphere. They were moving at extreme speed but the continuous hole and debris on the road slowed their speed.
Horn!
The ambulance honked from behind as it stopped in front of a 3-story building. Quickly, the car ahead stopped as two people came out.
No one uttered a word as everyone rushed inside the building to ransack it. Suddenly, the balding shook as if it was going to collapse.
Justin raised his head and looked at the shaking building and creased his brow.
'',
"Everyone hurry up. We're almost out of time." He shouted as he sped through the building from one room to another.
"I found something," Patrick exclaimed in happiness.
"Don't tell us. Park it outside." Justin said hurriedly.
Suddenly, the trembling of the building increased as cracks appeared on the walls, glass shattered and the roof fell.
"Everyone get out now!" Justin shouted.
"I've parked everything," Patrick screamed as he carried a bag of supplies, rushing out of a room.
"Go. I'll bring the rest." Justin said.
The building was distracted gradually, walls breaking into two, pillars falling from the top, floors breaking into rubble.
Susan and the others rushed outside as half of the building collapsed. Beads of sweat dripped from Patrick's face as he looked at the collapsing building.
"Can he make it?" Mullen asked, glancing at Susan.
Susan didn't bat an eye at him as she replied. "If anything was to pose a threat to him. It won't be a collapsing building."
Hearing this, Mullen and the others creased their brow. How strong is he? They thought.
Boom!
The building finally collapsed and a whistling sound shot out of the rubbles. Justin appeared in front of the group with bags of supplies in their hands.
"What are you doing? We need to leave." He said casually as he dropped the supplies inside the ambulance...
Susan felt Mullen's gaze on her body but didn't turn back as she entered the car.
Boom!
A deafening sound came from a couple of meters from Justin's group direction. Another building collapsed and it seems it was just the beginning.
"Where is our next location?" Justin asked with urgency.
"South" Susan answered quickly.
…..
In the southern part of the city, at the basement of the building. Suddenly, a gust of wind appeared out of nowhere. The wind grew stronger quickly and a sucking force was created.
Everything in the basement was sucked into the wind. When the sucking force reached its peak. A deep black tunnel was created and it grew bigger every second. After a couple of minutes, the tunnel stopped expanding and something crawled out of it.
___Dimension tunnel created___
___Dimension world tunnel___
___Insectoid race___
In the western part of the city, inside a forest, another tunnel appeared, scaring all the beasts inside the forest.
____Gobbling Race____
In the Eastern part of the city, on empty farmland beside a river. Another tunnel appeared and everything on the farmland froze immediately.
___Frost Giant Race___
At the top of a mountain, a silhouette stood majestically and looked at the tunnel directions and a frown appeared on his face.
"Earth should be mine. Why did this maggot appear?"
"Since they've appeared. Then, I'll move my plan forward." He grinned, showing his green tooth.
"My children, wait for me."
