Chapter 2834: The Disaster At Magic City
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The sky at the Magic City was covered with holes, as if magical crossbows had pierced it relentlessly.
Sea water poured down through the holes in the sky, splashing against the skyscrapers and disintegrating the concrete buildings.
They were greeted by a destructive sight. The strong flow of current struck the streets, causing the sewer system of the entire city to be stuck. Garbage and sewage flooded everywhere.
The Ocean Demons were covered in scales. They treated the chaotic place as their nest. They roamed in groups among the streets and houses. Heaps of eggs piled up into mountains within the residential areas. The mucus membranes were sticky and covered in strange demonic liquid. The latex-like mucus was everywhere as if someone had simply sprayed the walls with them.
Quack! Quack!
The strange sound caused one to palpitate in fear. Several Ocean Demons in red broke out of their shells. They resembled giant salamanders. They had powerful claws and they screeched like crying babies.
The Ocean Demon Babies were hungry. They screeched and screamed. Some mages and residents had assumed the sound to be of some abandoned human babies. When they had reached the monsters, they had ended up as food to the Ocean Demon Babies.
Jing An was the most prosperous ancient city. The residential and office buildings were closely lined up, depicting the artistic and modern high rise buildings that belonged to the city, as if one were in the old Shanghai’s Longtang!
The Clearsky Hunter Agency was located at Jing An. However, by the time Zhao Manyan, Mu Bai, Song Feiyao, and Jiang Shaoxu arrived at their destination, Jing An was covered in a huge white sticky membrane. When they looked down from the sky, they were shocked to see that the Magic City had turned into a terrifying sea cave. It did not look like the Magic City they had known. Instead, it looked more like a huge Ocean Demon nest!
The large expanse of urban area that led to various directions were covered by a layer of white and sticky membrane.
The sky was filled with holes. Sea water poured into the city endlessly. The white mucus membrane nest looked like a sponge that kept absorbing the sea water, and it continued to expand!
“Do we really have to get down there?” Zhao Manyan’s face turned as white as a sheet.
‘Was this the same Magic City that they had been to? How did it turn into this lair in just a day?’
It did not look like an urban city where humans had once lived. It had turned into a Demon Kingdom with various Ocean Demons wandering around and hunting down the mages!
The population of the Ocean Demons was overwhelming compared to what they had seen from the video footage. The Ocean Demons were as big as the skyscrapers in the Magic City. Their hideous and horrifying figures were visible from afar. Their shoulders almost touched the sky as they roamed about on the streets. It looked like the end of the world!
“If we don’t go down, how are we supposed to find Dean Xiao?” asked Jiang Shaoxu.
Dean Xiao was in Pearl Institute at Jing An. Jing An was covered by a layer of white mucus that resembled a spider’s web. The spider web was so large that it could cover the entire city. What sort of Ocean Demon had cast such a terrifying spell?
Zhao Manyan sighed. “Let’s go to Pearl Institute and get it over with. We have nothing to lose, after all.”
“The Green East Sea God cannot not land down there. It’s best to let it hover in the sky,” said Song Feiyao.
“Okay. That’s a good idea if we need to flee,” said Zhao manyan shakily. “Why did the city turn out like this? Why? How can the peaceful Magic City become this way?”
The water poured down from the sky like transparent waterfalls that resembled demonic dragons. The continued flow of water destroyed everything in the city. Dust flew everywhere in the air. The destruction of the city did not look like it was going to stop anytime soon.
Zhao Manyan, Mu Bai and the rest entered through the white membrane, they realized the white fluorescent membrane had spread everywhere. Some of it spread across the street, some of it penetrated more than a dozen buildings, and some suspended in mid-air. The white membrane had formed its own traffic system.
“Little Green Kraken, since you’re more familiar with the Ocean Demons, lead the way for us.” Zhao Manyan summoned the glutton through his ring.
Little Green Kraken had mastered the art of changing its body mass. It could swim around Zhao Manyan like a small green fish or transform into a giant whale huge enough to carry everyone through.
The sea water did not flood the nest within the white membrane. The white sticky membrane must have absorbed most of the water. However, Jing An was wet. They felt as though they had fallen into the stomach of an ancient demon.
When the light shone, the space inside the membrane was not entirely pitch-black. But there was some strange luster to them, and that made it even more horrifying.
Most of the buildings were covered in a layer of white membrane. As a result, it was difficult to identify the terrains. Fortunately, Zhao Manyan was very familiar with Pearl Institute.
Little Green Kraken had a good understanding of Ocean Demons. It could use a special sound wave to lure the group of Ocean Demons to another place and pave a safe path for Zhao Manyan and his group to continue to their destination.
The Ocean Demon babies shrieked. Song Feiyao wanted to take a look, but Zhao Manyan stopped her.
“Listen to me. Trust me, that sound is not from human babies. Most Ocean Demons are capable of imitating human voices. If you go, you won’t come across human babies, you will meet ferocious Ocean demons, instead. They will tear you apart!” said Zhao Manyan.
Song Feiyao nodded. It was best not to act alone.
“Hmph! Since you monsters like to cry like babies, I’ll kill you in one shot! Little Green Kraken, imitate the sound and lure them over here. When they come, you can eat all of them!” said Zhao Manyan.
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. Since the Ocean Demon Babies liked to imitate the human voices to lure people to them, Little Green Kraken would gladly return the same favor. After all, Little Green Kraken was not a picky eater.
Little Green Kraken was famished. It opened its mouth and imitated the sound of a group of people talking and engaging in a discussion.
True to their nature, the Ocean Demon Babies came rushing into the trap. They gathered and headed in the direction of the sound anticipating an encounter with humans so that they could eat them.
Little Green Kraken crouched at a corner. The Ocean Demon Babies had no idea they were about to enter a large devouring maw. They slid into Little Green Kraken’s stomach like rotating sushi.
