Chapter 996 Invasion From A Higher Floor!
-----
The night sky trembled, a huge portal leading to a completely different world opened, shocking the entire town. The people panicked as they saw a gigantic swarm of Vampiric Beasts surge from within the portal, led by a group of five Vampires, all of them coming from a completely different world.
The news about their own world being connected to some place known as the "Tower" and that it was possible for other worlds connected to the Tower to invade their own was not something the people of this world would take kindly.
Perhaps for the rest of the population, far away from this conflict, they would only find this out as some sort of wonder, but for the people of this city in the middle of the desert, this event was the same as the apocalypse.
[Warning! A Special Upper Floor Raid Event is in effect!]
[Your Floor is now undergoing invasion from outside forces of a floor above yours within the Tower. Invasion Origin: [Floor 60: Umbralheim]]
[Fend off the invaders to gain Contribution Points you can utilize to purchase items in the Raid Shop! Or succumb to your invader's thirst for blood.]
The reality of this world was slowly being unveiled in front of these people, and also to the rest of the world. This wasn't a message only Maria and company could only see. Everyone in Yggdrasil could see it. This was, after all, the invasion from another world entirely!
"W-What is this message?!"
"What's happening...?"
"T-The sky is red; I've never seen this before..."
"The Crimson moon..."
The people panicked, seeing in horror as their own perception of reality was being shattered right in front of their eyes. This whole time, they were nothing but pawns inside a much bigger game, one so big they couldn't even fathom it.
"G-Graagh..."
Yet, their expectations were quickly shattered as they saw it was the bat that was bleeding. Half its head was missing, a gigantic mass of blood spread around the innocent civilians, taking the shape of countless jaws, which had devoured the attacking Vampiric beast.
"Gryyaaggh!"
The bat screamed in agony as the jaws quickly surrounded it and covered it on countless bites, devouring it and tearing it to shreds in mere seconds. Similar scenes happened everywhere across the city. Sea snakes made of water and metallic hooks trapped dozens of monsters, cutting them into pieces. Explosions of chaotic flames engulfed them and burned them into cinders. Ice froze them and then shattered them into countless tiny pieces, and more!
"W-What's going on?!"
"Those cattle, do they happen to have strong Rankers protecting them?"
"There's no reason! This is just a small city in the middle of nowhere!"
"That's...!"
Before one of the Vampires could speak, an arrow made of pure spiritual light flashed through the skies, ascending from below him and piercing his head, making it explode into pieces.
BOOOM!
Their leader swiftly glared down in anger. Her bloodthirsty eyes were full of wrath!
"Who dares?!"
