Chapter 1117: The Vast Long Night Ends Here!

Klein strained to open his eyes wide, vaguely perceiving the environment behind the door, the aura there was all too familiar to him, as if it was Chains Gate!!

—But how did Meigaoosi end up there?

—The strategic goal that he and others had risked their lives to achieve was so easily accomplished?!

The drowsy consciousness could hardly think much, he noticed that Captain Dunn was still there swaying and barely holding on, even though the blurred vision made it hard to see clearly, he reckoned it was the end of a strong crossbow. The cold, slimy countless filaments became violent and impatient, like terrifying waves undulating, continually pressing down, trying to block that virtual door.

Yet, as the crying grew louder and clearer, countless filaments also dispersed one by one under invisible pressure.

The thing behind the door was also stubbornly crawling outward bit by bit, seemingly trying to return to this side of the space.

He couldn’t quite understand where the strength came from, Klein wobbled to his feet, biting his lip tightly, without thinking, he set his leaden legs into motion, sprinting towards that side.

Faster! Faster!

He didn’t know whether that woman would appear at any moment, ready to stop his action, he could only pray that fate would favor him this time, allowing him to seize this fleeting opportunity.

Using up every last bit of already reached limit physical strength, squeezing it as if every cell was crying out in unbearable distress, Klein’s speed reached an unprecedented extreme, almost in the blink of an eye, amidst countless filaments dispersing yet again, this young man charged into the tide, spreading his arms towards that virtual door without hesitation.

“Captain—!!”

A strained and weak cry followed immediately by silence.

“Klein!”

Captain Dunn’s eyes were wide with shock, he watched helplessly as Klein ferociously crashed into Meigaoosi who was almost climbing out again, his heart pained to the extreme. He resisted the grief with great effort, yet he understood what he should do now most, in order to not let his comrade’s sacrifice go to waste, forcing himself to manipulate the ash box in his hand, letting countless filaments rush forward again.

Meigaoosi’s sharp roar echoed, the dreadful cries of the offspring followed one after another, yet unable to easily break through.

Until that virtual door flickered, dimmed, and finally vanished.

The scene finally returned to calmness, as if nothing had ever happened on the empty street, no fierce battle, no sacrifice, if not for the traces of destruction and large patches of mottled bloodstains, then maybe even Dunn himself would be fooled. Or perhaps he was actually wishing for it, hoping it was all just a nightmare.

He kneels powerless on the ground, gazing blankly around, suddenly feeling difficulty in breathing.

This man slowly bows his body, covers his face with hands, starting to tremble slightly.

Yet at this very moment…

Rumble—!!

A deafening thunderclap exploded above Tingen City!

Or more accurately, exploded suddenly above the entire planet, sounding like a grand apocalypse that could tear apart the whole world!!

Belankede.

Hilton District, inside a house.

Hugh Dilcha restlessly paced back and forth in her residence, her eyes sharply scanning every potential trace, ultimately returning to the living room, standing at the overturned table and a mess of shattered teapots.

The petite girl pressed her lips tightly and clenched her fists, her gaze fixed on the sharp claw marks on the floor and the handfuls of hair being ripped off, a guess forming vaguely in her mind. She just couldn’t understand, even if Fors lost control last night, why did she completely vanish like that?

What exactly happened?

Damn it! If only she hadn’t been stalled last night and returned a bit earlier!

Hugh felt both angry and guilty, taking a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down, turning to go out the door, given such circumstances she could only seek help… She decided to find Viscount Glailint first, if that didn’t work, then consider asking the help of Miss Audrey whom she had met recently, ignoring any sense of propriety.

Yet just at the moment she stepped out the door, her pupils contracted sharply.

As if she saw an extremely terrifying scene.

…

Queens District, within a luxurious mansion.

Miss Audrey Hall was equally anxious at this moment, pacing back and forth in her bedroom, although Queens District belonged to the nobility and top wealthy merchants, security was the best, and surveillance the tightest, yet she could still feel the chaos outside.

Even though Ruen’s response was swift, or at least the reaction in the capital was swift, quickly dispatching troops to assist the police department in maintaining order, it was still difficult to completely calm everything down in a short time. After all, with over five million permanent residents, Belankede had become a metropolis of all metropolises, making the city’s security costs inevitably skyrocket to an astonishing level.

Audrey exhaled deeply, she cared about what’s happening outside, yet had no way to check.
