Chapter 558: Memories Of A City

I look at the destroyed gate and look at what I can see in this haze on the city walls that are damaged but still standing.

An image of the destruction path that we saw having destroyed two walls and having made a destruction path in the previous city comes to my mind, so I look at the main gate of that city.

"(Was it the same monsters?)" (I)

"Now it's time for everyone to leave, we can't fight like we've been doing anymore, this is still a rescue mission." (I)

"I still think you should bring more people, master." (Ivan)

"We don't know who the enemies are, we don't know their numbers, we don't know the strength of the Undead inside this city, and we only have a rough idea of where the prisoners are." (I)

"Under these conditions, the best I can do is go alone with my Family." (I)

All my Familiars have a strength above Lower Catastrophe Grade, besides they will be able to help me in many things, Hela and Vanessa stayed with me for now since we don't know what kind of monster there is in this city.

"The monster must have been dead a long time, these are ancient ruins." (rica)

"But that could also mean that this giant monster has turned into an Undead." (Irina)

"I admit I'm curious about this monster and the reason it came here causing so much destruction, but I also don't want to take the risk of having to fight an Undead monster of that size." (I)

"We can be sure that the place of a temple or church would be the right place for us to go, as we saw in the previous city, it would be the best place to stay being in such a hostile place." (Vanessa)

"I wonder how these people got here with hundreds of prisoners." (I)

"They might have some artifact, magic, or technique to ward off the Undead." (Hela)

"If this is true, then our theory of them being inside some Church or Temple could be wrong." (Vanessa)

"(Is this a dream? An illusion?)" (I)

I kept looking at people loading their carts full of ingredients to street stalls being opened, children playing in the street, stores opening, and even a street robbery.

There was a mother carrying three young children down the street, there were Adventurers coming out of town heading our way, and there were soldiers walking down the street greeting some street stall owners.

I've reached out to one of the Adventurers coming towards us and my hand goes through him leaving a trail of mist as the Adventurer continues on his way unchanged.

"I can feel different Auras from each one, this is not an illusion or dream, this feels more like a memory..." (Ragnar)

"Some of them are Ghosts, this is normal among their race, to get lost in past memories reliving them over and over again." (Hela)

"But I feel something else, an urge within the mist itself as if the mist is acting as a medium for something else spreading one across the city..." (I)

"..." (Ragnar)

Ragnar in his human form closes his eyes and I feel him spreading his Aura before opening his eyes again.

"I could feel it now, a feeling of regret, sadness, loneliness, and guilt." (Ragnar)

"The mist and the miasma are separate, but I can feel the curse energy contained in the mist itself." (I)

We kept walking down the street and seeing a thriving city full of people going about their daily lives, but we weren't able to hear anything, it felt like watching a silent movie in virtual reality.

Boom!

Screams! Screams! Screams!

But everything changed after a few minutes, when we were a little further away from the city gates a noise happened suddenly it was the city gate being destroyed and something that looked like some sort of crocodile with a humanoid head and tentacles instead of limbs entered the room City.
