Captain Niles had a dark expression as he reviewed the latest reports.
Thousands of ordinary humans, along with low-level cultivators, had perished. The entire Crimson Wall settlement was in chaos, an explosive atmosphere gripping the town.

No matter where one looked in the town, people were crying and despairing. Lives had been suddenly and inexplicably lost, leaving those who had been happily chatting and laughing just moments ago in utter devastation.
Despair was rapidly turning into doubt. Were they next? Madness was slowly beginning to consume their minds.
