Chapter Ninety-Two: The Unstoppable Monster
"Goodbye." The middle-aged guard captain glared fiercely at the carriage where Xirik was, then turned and fled to the other side without looking back.
"Brothers, the baronate is doomed, and this country may be doomed too. After all, the monsters have already reached the core area of the kingdom. We can't afford to be foolish anymore."
"Now, let's escape together and try our best to survive."
The middle-aged head guard was quite cunning; he was inciting the other guards without even turning his head.
"The captain is right."
"Let's go, let's go."
"Wouldn't it be a bad idea to leave the Baron behind?"
"The Baron is dead, so be it. As long as we are alive, that's all that matters."
"Escape! I don't want to die here. I just got married last week, and my wife is pregnant. I absolutely cannot die like this. I need to go home as soon as possible, take my family, and escape the Kingdom of Philar."
...
In just a moment, all the guards were tempted.
Most of the guards also took direct action.
“???” Cyric was dumbfounded. “You bunch of bastards, you actually betrayed me? You swore an oath to the God of Knights to be loyal to me.”
"Aaaaaah, how could you do this?"
With a "crash," the carriage suddenly shook violently and then collapsed.
Suddenly, the coachman in front of them cut the ropes, separating the horse from the carriage. He then jumped onto the horse's back.
"Hahaha, damned Baron, I'm escaping too! Good luck from here on out!" The coachman shouted triumphantly and spurred his horse off into the distance.
“Holy shit…” Cyric was even more devastated.
"Don't abandon me, I'm willing to give you more bonuses."
"Otherwise, I will file a complaint against you with the kingdom's authorities. You have violated the noble treaty of the entire world, and you will die."
Sirik shouted in vain.
Unfortunately, nobody paid any attention to him.
"Human, you're so fat. I really don't know, between you and the pig-headed man, who tastes better?"
Zheke's voice came from the edge of the carriage.
With a deafening roar, before Xirik could react, two massive front paws shoved at him. The carriage exploded with a deafening crash.
"Aaaaaah!" Huge pieces of debris covered Cyric's body, making him scream in pain.
"Hahaha, you humans are truly cowardly and timid. You are not qualified to occupy such a vast world. Everything you have should belong to my great true dragon master!" Zheke laughed triumphantly. There was nothing he could do; Xirik was so cowardly. In fact, since he arrived here, he had not sensed any resistance from the humans.
Zheke was unaware that the powerful superhumans of the Kingdom of Feral had been drawn to the border. Otherwise, even though the majority of humanity remained ordinary mortals, the presence of numerous superhumans among them would have posed a significant threat to him.
Zhek opened his gaping maw, ready to eat.
"Don't eat me!" Xirik's crotch was wet; he was terrified and unable to control himself. He was like a respectable woman surrounded by thugs, crying out pitifully, "I'm willing to submit. I can be a rapist. I know the area well. I can give you intelligence to make your hunt easier."
“No need for that. With my nose, I can easily locate nearby human settlements.” Zheke scoffed and pounced on him, beginning his frenzied eating.
"Ah, it hurts, no, stop it..." Xirik struggled with all his might, but still couldn't resist Zhek.
At the same time, the demon wolves that followed behind were not idle either. They scattered and rushed in the direction the guards had fled.
A minute later, Zheke was full and satisfied.
The place was left in a mess.
"Although the meat is tender and not as firm as minotaur meat, it has its own unique flavor."
"Humans, you make me even more excited."
"I've heard that great dragons like to seek out human maidens. I wonder if the taste of a maiden is comparable to that of a delicate elf?"
Zheke's eyes were bloodshot. He seemed to have been completely awakened by the ferocity hidden in his bloodline by the death.
Indeed, that is the case.
Staying on Emerald Lake Island, although there was no shortage of fighting and battles, it was never as exhilarating as killing.
...
At the same time, monsters from other directions had also made initial contact with humans.
At first, humanity was caught off guard and had no chance to fight back.
The battle had only just begun, yet humanity had already suffered heavy casualties.
The monsters are encroaching and expanding wildly.
The legendary and master-level monsters are especially terrifying.
They proactively sought out a large town and launched a frenzied attack.
Because of the dense population, many people died or were injured.
Fortunately, humans quickly realized what was happening.
Furthermore, some unknown individuals, or those not under the official jurisdiction of the kingdom, emerged to stop the monsters from fighting.
Well, a master-level monster is manageable.
Even those legendary dragons couldn't stop them.
Everything that stood in the way of the evil dragon was destroyed by their dragon breath.
Wherever they went, towns were reduced to ruins, with endless corpses and collapsed houses remaining.
...
A thousand miles away, in the city of Bolan.
"Beep beep beep beep beep," a loud alarm sounded in the very heart of the city.
"Be on guard, be on guard."
On the surrounding city walls, numerous soldiers, seemingly having received the news, were hurriedly strengthening their defenses, even bringing out all sorts of extraordinary weapons and setting them up on the walls.
"What's going on?" Many citizens in the city were confused.
Soon, Boren, the city lord of Polan City, clad in heavy blue armor, soared into the sky. A faint aura of a master-level expert erupted from his body, enveloping the entire city as much as possible to draw the attention of all its citizens.
"The city of Bolan is facing a death crisis."
"The neighboring cities of De'an, Jäger, and Kama, as well as many small villages, have all been breached by monsters that suddenly appeared."
"Next, it should be our turn, Polan City."
"Everyone, if you don't want to die, you'd better hide properly."
"And those extraordinary individuals who wish to survive and defend the Kingdom of Philar, whoever you are, I am now forcibly conscripting you into battle."
Lord Beren shouted loudly, briefly explaining the basic situation.
Well, the human society in this world is somewhat ancient and feudal. However, thanks to various extraordinary tools and extraordinary individuals, the speed of information transmission is quite fast.
Some of the humans who were initially encountered and destroyed by the monster managed to leak the message before they died.
Upon learning of this news, some capable individuals immediately used the [Book of Communication] to spread the message to even more distant places.
Perhaps, before long, the royal family of the Kingdom of Philar will learn about the situation here.
"How is this possible?"
"This is the heart of the kingdom."
"What kind of monster is so rampant?"
The citizens were shocked.
"Don't be afraid. We are the largest city within a thousand miles. Those destroyed cities were all small cities, without even a master. But our Bolan City has a master like Lord Bolun. So, don't panic." Some people were unconcerned and reassured those around them who were frightened.
"Roar!" Suddenly, a roar came from afar.
Immediately afterwards, a giant black dragon flew over.
"Crackling sounds," the Black Dragon Soviet, though far inferior to peak adult dragons like Sofia and Luvika, still possessed legendary power that was not to be underestimated.
Especially when facing these humans, his legendary power was terrifying. Every move he made caused the heavens and earth to change color, and lightning to flash and thunder to roar.
In the area where he was, the dragon's might erupted, causing the sky to be covered with dark clouds, which transformed into a mountain that pressed down on the town of Bolan.
Those who had been full of confidence in the Lord of Beren City suddenly felt despair.
"It's terrifying." Most of the weak mortals were so shocked that they rolled their eyes and fainted.
In just a moment, the whole city seemed empty and quiet.
Because the vast majority of people here are ordinary people.
With their fall, Bolan City was practically turned into a dead city.
"Oh ho ho, how insignificant humans are! You so weak, yet you dare to covet the child of the great evil dragon? This time, I will show you that Lord Luvika's child is not someone you can covet."
The Soviets laughed triumphantly.
"We're doomed, this dragon is just too powerful." Lord Beren was also in despair; he was only a Level 1 Master, and a rather ordinary one at that, unable to fight against opponents of a higher level.
He couldn't stop this adult dragon at all.
But even if we can't stop it, we have to.
"Activate the Fortified City Formation!" Lord Beren shouted.
The weak superhumans who hadn't yet fainted immediately took action.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh," a semi-transparent protective shield appeared on the surrounding city walls, enveloping the entire city.
"Magic cannon, prepare..." Lord Beren continued.
He stared intently at the Soviets, and when they were less than a kilometer from Bolan City, he roared, "Fire!"
The magic cannons on the wall shone brightly at this moment, spitting out beams of light that hurtled towards the Soviet Union.
"Human power has never been limited to superhuman strength, but also includes incredible wisdom. These extraordinary artifacts invented by our ancestors possess power far exceeding mine. This is the true treasure of Bolan City," Lord Bolan thought to himself.
However, he still didn't think he could win.
"I hope the reinforcements from afar will arrive soon. Otherwise, my city of Bolan will be destroyed."
"Damn it, how did these monsters manage to enter the country so quietly?"
“If the kingdom’s elite troops hadn’t been sent to the border, my reinforcements would have arrived much faster and in greater numbers.”
Lord Beren had mixed feelings.
All of this sounds like a long story, but in reality, only a few seconds had passed.
Numerous cannon shots had already enveloped the Soviet area.
Magic: Dark Solidification.
Soviet didn't act arrogantly, nor did he try to withstand the attack with his strong body. He instantly used magic, creating a layer of active darkness on the surface of his body.
The cannon fire arrived, only to be met with a sniper's attack from the darkness.
"Gurgle, gurgle," the darkness was eerie, slowly swallowing the cannon fire.
"Ah, he's actually unharmed." Some sharp-eyed superhuman soldiers had already noticed that the Soviet was completely unscathed from this wave of attacks.
His mental state began to collapse.
"Monster, monster! How can we possibly win against such a monster?"
"Run away!"
"A legendary dragon, in legends, possesses the power to destroy a kingdom."
"We're doomed to lose."
...
Although the human superhumans were not immediately stunned into unconsciousness by the dragon's might.
However, they also bear enormous pressure, and they could faint or collapse at any moment.
Seeing how powerful the Soviet Union was, even human superhumans couldn't withstand it.
Moreover, just like an infectious disease, the number of people collapsing was initially small, but other human superhumans were also affected and began to collapse.
