The red-purple mist soon enveloped the entire fortress, and it was still expanding at terrifying speed.
10 miles… 20 miles… and as it approached the 30 miles, Albert City's west wall was slowly growing closer to it.
It was still 4: a.m., and it was quite dark. The red-purple mist appeared like a black cloud of dust that was quickly making its way to Albert City.
"What the…" A patrolling guard on the city wall finally noticed it, and he was bewildered as he clearly couldn't tell if it was really a dust storm or something else. Nevertheless, he still quickly headed toward the post to report this strangeness.
However, he didn't even reach the guard post on the city wall when he sensed something and turned around and saw the darkness, which seemed over a mile away was now only a few hundred away. From this distance, he finally noticed the red-purple mist, and his eyes winded.
"It's a dimension formation! Oh my god, a dimension is about to form over Albert City again!" He exclaimed in a horrified tone as he ran toward the guard post even faster with a pale expression.
He could tell this dimension's formation zone was something outside Albert City, so it might not swallow over 50 square miles of Albert City as a whole, but it will still be going to swallow a chunk of it, nevertheless.
Furthermore, its expansion speed was something he had never heard of before. Normally formation starts with an extremely eye-catching phenomenon, and then it slowly expands until it reaches its full extent according to its rank.
Afterward, people can easily judge its rank by its expansion size.
Usually, in the third-grade region, only iron rank or bronze rank could form because a dimension was attracted by the magic density of an area. A higher rank dimension would naturally need a high-density magic energy area to be fully formed.
Simply put, the third-grade region could only birth an iron rank or bronze rank dimension, and a higher rank dimension would never spam over this place. It was a proven fact.
However, this fact was challenged when a silver rank dimension appeared in the most ordinary area of the regal world, the forsaken lands where the exiles were imprisoned for over a hundred years.
That's why all ten overseer clans were alarmed, and they sent their upper echelon to investigate and also recover the oath relic.
A silver dimension expansion area was over 50 to 100 miles radius while the final formed dimension will be even larger since dimensions are formed in two ways. And it was only information on the normal dimensions. The concept of growth-type dimension was still unknown to this world.
But everything was about to change with Origin Lust Sword Dimension formation.
The system already told Cyrus when he unlocked the system function that his dimension would expand in 100 miles radius, and it was in case he had sown the seed right there and then, which would've resulted in the dimension being formed in the iron rank.
However, now, because of the Lust Sword Quest, its initial process has been completely skipped with the dimension rank as well.
Thereby, the red-purple mist expansion was not going to stop anytime soon, not like the people of this world know, at least.
The Origin Lust Sword Dimension expansion finally hit the western side of Albert City. Everyone, like the city guard, was caught off guard as they couldn't even process what happened before they were swallowed by the red-purple mist.
"What is happening?! I just heard a stray dimension has swallowed over 20% of the city, and it is still not showing any sign of stopping!" Wilder, in his night robes, uttered dumbfoundedly.
He had only just slept after mulling over how to deal with the Holy Spa Pagoda in the morning, was jolt awakened by one of his men, and reported about the situation of a stray dimension swallowing the city at a terrifying rate.
"We don't know, that dimension is expanding at a terrifying rate, and it will hit us in two minutes if it keeps expanding!" A tall man in blue attire grimly stated.
Wilder narrowed his eyes, "Are you suggestion it's the formation of silver rank dimension?"
"We still don't know its starting point. If it's not a silver rank, then it will stop less than five hundred meters away from the blue street. But it isn't; then it has to be a silver rank dimension!" The blue attire man replied matter-of-factly.
Wilder frowned even more as he looked outside the window, and now he could see the huge darkness coming in this way while swallowing in the path.
"Just when did the third-grade region become the target of silver rank dimensions? First, the forsaken lands, and now Albert City, which is only a hundred miles away from the forsaken lands. It's nothing but strange." Wilder muttered grimly as he saw the mist coming closer and closer and finally opened his mouth,
"Gather our men and anyone who is in the vicinity. We need to survive this until helps arrive. Those members of the ten families will still be around. They will definitely come running once they find another stray silver-rank dimension that has appeared in the third-grade region and this close to the forsaken land.
"Also…" His eyes turned sharp as he looked in another direction and could vaguely see the tall silhouette of a building, "We are going to the Holy Spa Pagoda. If that Boss Lust is as strong as rumor described him to be, then sticking with him is the best option!"
"Understood!" The blue attire man nodded heavily before he quickly left to make arrangements after glancing at the incoming red-purple mist.
Wilder sighed heavily as the mist was only a few meters away and muttered coldly, "I wonder what kind of creatures this dimension will connect us with this time…"
Just those words escaped his mouth; the entire magic union building was swallowed with Wilder…
The entire Albert City was quickly swallowed by the red-purple mist. Nothing escaped, and those fortunate enough to run away from the other gates, their relief turned into horror when they noticed the expansion was still not done!
Within five minutes, the Origin Lust Sword Dimension devoured 100 miles, and it still showed no sign of getting slower at all. Only when it passed the 140-mile mark did it show the sign of slowing down!
When it hit the 150-mile mark, it finally stopped!
At this moment, including the bronze dimension, Goblin Paradise, and the entire Albert City, the red-purple mist has devoured massive 150 miles, which includes four more iron rank dimension gates, all belonging to the Albert City.
Not only that, but it only stopped around after touching one more city like Albert City's territories which naturally alarmed the authorities there, and they quickly launched an investigation into this mysterious dimension that had appeared out of nowhere.
While the outside world could only see a red-purple mist glob from the outside, the inside of this mist was an entirely different story.
Because right now, everyone has come out of their homes, especially the entire Albert City was on the streets, and some are watching from their homes.
What they saw left all of them in shock as the sky was now shimmering in crimson color, but this wasn't the only thing that left everyone shocked because it was the color of only half the sky, and the other half was completely purple. It was a two-color sky!
People noticed another strange thing; the magic density was something they had never experienced before. It was too… rich!
At this moment, a static voice rang in the entire Origin Lust Sword Dimension,
"[The Origin Lust Sword Dimension welcome everyone in their new World!]
"[Origin Lust Sword Temple will be emerged in the center of the Origin Lust Sword Dimension shortly where the natives can greet their Dimension Ruler!]"
Everyone was gobsmacked when they heard every word loud and clear, even if someone didn't know how to speak or understand language. They were able to understand those words clearly.
"D-did I just hear Temple?!" Someone in the streets of Albert City exclaimed.
"Could it be a new Dimension Temple has emerged? And our Albert City has become its focal point?" Another one shouted in mirth.
"Didn't this mean can be like those temple cities?!"
Everyone's heart raced almost instantly as all the fear of swallowing the dimension vanished in smoke, and everyone's eyes shone with greed!
Because if this place was really a new temple dimension, then it was not a disaster but a huge opportunity that might never come in their lifetime.
According to the records in history, anyone who approached or entered a dimension temple first will become its overseer.
When this thought came into people's minds, almost instantly, everyone's eyes turned cold as they looked at each other vigilantly and the next moment.
They all started to run toward the exit, which caused huge mayhem as they all wanted to be the first ones to enter that temple and sour directly to the sky!
