Chapter 1508: Ruined City
Chapter 1508: Ruined City
The people in the city, the guards and even the Deputy who is looking towards the sea from various positions saw the water snake coming at them.
Everyone of them only had one feeling coursing through their bodies.
Fear.
They are afraid of the snake that is coming like a blue coloured ray.
The city formation was instantly activated.
*BOOM* *SPLASH*
The snake hit the formation. The water splashed all over the fluctuation formation. There is not a single person in the city that didn't hear the impact. The water splattered over half of the city like rain.
The whole city shook and everyone is terrified.
The officials and the guards all gathered at high vantage points as they looked at the city and the next sight horrified them.
The water creatures started created vortexes on the sea surface that are turning to large water snakes.
And this time, there is a slight change.
The water snakes are glowing. If any of these people were daring enough to go to the sea surface where the whole water snake creation was happening, they would have noticed that the water creatures are pouring out some of their glowing blob energy into the water snakes while creating them.
Now all of the creatures created these snakes and all of them are glowing. Even the water snake made by the red snake is also glowing with red coloured lines and it is faster than the rest when it was left to rush towards the city.
*BOOM* *SPLASH*
The water snake reacted the same way as before, but this time, when the water has this red hue and went it went through the fluctuation formation and fell on the buildings, the water seeped into the building.
It is not even just normal wetting of the wall.
The water droplets completely seeped into the wall. The stones acted like they are made of some sponge or cotton.
At first, the people didn't notice anything different. But in the corner of the city, in the slums, one of the worn down building that was also soaked in this water started cracking all of a sudden.
The stone became corroded the roof fell off without any warning.
The rest of the blue water snakes also started coming they all acted the same. The water seeped in and started weakening the stone walls and roofs of the buildings and structures.
The deputy and the officials were shocked.
After ten direct shots of these water snakes, the formation is gone. It was destroyed. It couldn't take the constant abuse of this high-pressure water shots.
After the formations are gone, the first snake that came at the city, sent the chills down people's spines.
The city guard commander, who is the only one that had any guts left, used all of his strength and made a move at the incoming water snake.
*BOOM*
An explosive sound occurred as a huge sword ray hit the water snake before it could come into the borders of the wall.
But as soon as the clash occurred, the man was sent straight back into the walls along with the snake and it went directly to hit the administration office of the city.
*BOOM*
The water snake destroyed half of the whole estate in an instant.
The people that are still inside, didn't even have a chance to experience the pain of this attack completely before they died.
Only a few people with a decent cultivation level managed to escape this situation with their lives intact.
But none of them are ready to take another shot like this.
They immediately thought of only one thing and one thing alone. Escaping the city.
The Deputy city lord is in fact the first one to act on this thought and he made a run for it.
As he and some other people escaped the city, they looked as one snake after another hit the city structures and destroying them.
After ten shots that are mostly aimed at the city lord's mansion and the administrative offices along with some high level people's estates, the creatures took a rest.
They didn't attack anymore and the citizens took this window to come out of the city and run towards the main city up the river.
They didn't dare stay here anymore.
At first they are relieved that the commander from the main city came to save them.
But now, that he is also dead, they don't want to stay in this sea shore city anymore. After a few hours, the deputy city lord and the rest reached the main city and when the city lord saw them, he was stunned.
"What the fuck are you doing here? Where is my commander?"
"He died.. He died. The creatures, there are way too many, they are destroying the Port city."
The deputy commander said while panting.
The city lord frowned and said.
"What the hell are you talking about?"
"Yes, the commander died. The rest of his team also died. They didn't even make it out of the sea. After they are dead, the whole city was attacked by these creatures…"
Another official explained everything and the city lord's face changed with every moment.
"I need to report this to superiors. I need to see if I can spare any forces. We were asked to gather all of our forces for the war. We are on verge of making a move on the Gaja clan."
"But sir, what about the citizens and all of the resources. And how can we be sure that these creatures wouldn't come for this main city after they are done with the port city? We don't even know how many they are.
But from what we saw, there are at least a few hundred of them."
The city lord didn't even know what to say for that. After some time, he called his daughter.
"I want you to use the space gate formation to go and reach the superiors immediately. Take my personal token and ask for their advice in what to do in this current situation.
Take this deputy city lord. He will do the convincing for you."
"Yes, father."
The daughter agreed without any hesitation before she took the deputy city lord away.
Meanwhile, the city lord looked at the other elders that came running from the city and asked.
"Why did you all come here? If you are all here, who is defending the city?"
None of them spoke.
"Fucking cowards. Your official positions are officially ousted. Now, go and put on the gear and join the ranks of the soldiers. You will be within the first batch of the soldiers sent to the Gaja clan."
He coldly spat, before he left. He then some of his trusted subordinates to see how the citizens of the Port city are doing while he awaited his daughter's return.
After two hours, she came back. But without the deputy city lord.
"Did that cowardly old man find a reason to stay there?"
"Yes, father."
"I expected that. What did our superiors say?"
"They gave us the permission to deal with the cities."
"Really? Young master commanded our arrival to the main forces though."
"It seems like the young master Sivan had a falling out with the grand elder. He wants us to go to the war, but he wants us to delay our arrival for three days. From what the grand elder's son said, the grand elder wants to teach a lesson to Sivan.
He wants to show Sivan that not everything is under his control, just because he is a key person in one deal."
"Petty issues are hindering our clan again. Anyway, the matter is important. Gather everyone that has a cultivation of Astral Plane Transcendence and higher. Only leave the Deputy City guard commander and the rest of the city guards here.
We will be taking the rest.
I want to clear this sea problem as soon as I can."
"Yes, father."
The daughter nodded and went away to execute the orders of her father.
Within two hours, everyone gathered outside of the city and made their way to Port city. On their way, they came across many people that are trying to come to this city from the Port city and the City lord took his time to help them a bit before sending them to the city.
This delayed their arrival and by the time they came, all they saw is half-ruined city. There are some water creatures here and there that are scouring for the dead bodies.
Some of the creatures are even hunting in the surrounding area as they took the beasts and brought their bodies back to Port city.
The city lord immediately commanded an attack on them. Luckily, there are only a few strays left here and there in the surroundings and the city.
In the process of killing these creatures, some of his subordinates are injured and took the glowing blue liquid into their bodies.
Three soldiers died and this time the creatures didn't take the bodies away as they are not present in the surroundings.
The city lord gritted his teeth and asked his healers to examine the bodies.
