Monster Paradise Chapter 144

A strange noise came from the sky as a black sigil appeared in the air. The sigil looked like there was a black, ferocious scar that caused a crack in the sky. It extended both ways and stopped when it was more than 10 meters long. After it had stopped growing horizontally, it began to grow downwards and soon, a gigantic black eye opened. It looked like it was God’s eye looking down on the world.

“A Virtual Eye has opened…”

Although Lin Huang had never seen an actual Virtual Eye before, he knew immediately that it was a Virtual Eye when he witnessed it firsthand. The first ever Virtual Eye was opened 800 years ago and ever since then, it became something frequent that happened almost everyday almost everywhere. It could happen outside the safety zone, within the safety zone, places that are less populated or even those that are more densely populated.

This time, it happened less than 20 kilometers from Daxi City, it was considered a dangerous distance as it would take 10 minutes for the monsters that traveled on land to arrive in the city. There would be a bigger problem if there were many flying monsters. However, when the Virtual Eye appeared, the siren in the city went off and defensive shields of footholds went up. Lin Huang would not know about all these as he was outside the foothold.

Now that the Virtual Eye was opened, he did not have the time to run away. He used a Specific Transformation Card instead and hid in the tree in his specter form. Many monsters were coming out of the Virtual Eye on invisible parachutes. Lin Huang’s jaw dropped as he watched helplessly. It almost looked like monsters were raining out of the sky.

“There are so many silver-level and gold-level monsters…” Lin Huang frowned, “At least the monster crowd mostly consisted of nightmare-grade and even disaster-grade… Hopefully there won’t be many transcendent monsters..”

The monster crowd grade was categorized chronologically into frantic-grade, nightmare-grade and disaster-grade…

The monsters of frantic-grade were mostly monsters of iron-level and bronze-level with minimum silver-level monsters. Most of the transcendent monsters would not involve in the frantic-grade. For the nightmare-grade, most of the monsters would be silver-level and part of gold-level monsters with some of the transcendent monsters. As for disaster-grade, most of the gold-level monsters would be involved and there would be at least one transcendent monster.

From the amount of gold-level monsters, Lin Huang could tell that it was a disaster-grade monster crowd. The only thing that he was not sure was how many transcendent monster would there be.

“Please don’t do this to me, I’m only four days away from leaving this place through the space door.” Lin Huang was upset.

A disaster-grade monster crowd would be difficult even for a grade-B huge foothold. It was impossible for Daxi City which was a grade-C middle foothold to handle such monster crowd. Lin Huang could predict that the entire Daxi City would be completely destroyed in less than one day.

There would usually be one transcendent guarding the city in a grade-C foothold but there would be at least three transcendent monsters when it comes to a disaster-grade monster crowd. There were not many gold-level hunters resided in grade-C foothold, much lesser than the gold-level monsters that were descending from the sky. It was sure-lose battle.

As soon as the city was attacked by monsters, the space door would remain close and Lin Huang would not be able to leave the foothold like he planned to. He could use a small destruction card to wipe out all monsters below the transcendent-level but that would not stop the transcendent monsters from destroying the city. The fate of the city would still be the same but his fate would change, in that he would then be targeted by transcendent monsters.

There was nothing he could do to help. It was chaotic in Daxi City. Ever since the warning of the Virtual Eye opening was out, everyone rushed home to seek refuge. Ordinary people could not join the battle with monsters and they were fearful of the monster raid. It is unfortunate because as soon as a person’s fear of monsters was discovered, he would be forced to go for a psychotherapy session to overcome his fears.

Staff from the Purple Crow did their best to calm the situation and within minutes, the streets were empty. Most of the Purple Crow staff headed to the west of the foothold while a small part of them guarded at the east gate. Fortunately, there were only two gates in the foothold so that the battle staff could gather and focus on these two gates instead of being scattered everywhere.

Xie Yu was the guardian of Daxi City, he was an old man with white hair. He chose a secluded location because he wanted to enjoy his life in peace. He never expected for such thing to happen within two years from when he took position. With his vision, he could see the monsters coming out of the Virtual Eye clearly. He knew very well that it was a disaster-grade monster crowd. It was impossible for him to fight the transcendent monsters on his own.

“Should I fight or should I run?” Xie Yu hesitated and finally made his decision.

“Gah, since I am only left with few years of Life Light, I’d rather die here with dignity and not shame in a couple of years to come.”

After he made up his mind, he flew towards the sky and headed to the west gate.

Two men and a lady were enjoying their drinks at a roofless restaurant.

“The guardian from the Purple Crow has headed out. I have always thought that members of the Purple Crow would run away to save themselves in such situations.” It was the lady who spoke.

Her hair was red with two braids, she wore short denim skirt revealing her legs. From the length of her legs, anyone could tell that she was tall. Just that she was sitting down so nobody could tell how exactly tall she was.

“Purple Crow has their own rule. If he was to run away like that, I don’t think they would just let him go like that.” The man in sunglasses said. He wore a Chinese suit with his hair neatly combed.

“Boss, this is Purple Crow’s territory. Don’t you think they would handle this?” The lady with red hair said to the middle-aged man on her right.

“Although this is Purple Crow’s territory but the people are innocent. If we don’t do anything about this disaster-grade monster crowd, millions of people would die because none of them would leave.” The man in sunglasses disagreed with what the lady said.

“But we intervene, our identities would be revealed and we would fail our mission. Liang Song, don’t you forget what we are here for.” The lady with red hair looked at the man in sunglasses.

“If the city is destroyed, our mission would fail as well. If we are going to fail our mission anyway, we might as well save the people.” Liang Song pushed his sunglasses up while saying calmly.

“Alright, stop arguing. The safety of the people is our priority.” The middle-aged man who was sitting aside finally spoke. He then looked at the lady with long legs, “Zhou Qian, when you get back, copy the Hunter Code a hundred times!”

“Boss, please don’t be ruthless…”

“200 times!” The middle-aged man stared at her. He had big eyes and thick eyebrows with a four centimeters scar on his life lip. His kind face was now ferocious.

“Leader, should we fight now or should we only fight when the guardian is dead?” Liang Song asked.

“The transcendent monsters has not arrived yet, let’s wait.” The middle-aged man waved his hand.

Meanwhile, Xie Yu arrived at the west gate. Before the monsters landed on the ground, he started killing them. A purple sword appeared, he pointed his sword in the air, countless aero blades were formed and sliced towards the monsters. Countless monsters were cut into half by the aero blades, they were like pieces of papers.

Lin Huang was watching from far.

“A sword skill combining the wind element, its coverage is stunning!”

Not only Lin Huang, the three people at the roofless restaurant saw that too.

“The attack coverage was not bad but such sword skill’s strength was nothing to shout about.” Zhou Qian gave a negative comment.

“If you compared your advantage to someone else’s disadvantage, nobody could ever be better than you.” Liang Song criticized her, “Why didn’t you say that his coverage is much stronger than yours, which is more suitable in handling such monster attack?”

“Liang Song, why are you finding faults?” Zhou Qian stared at him.

“I’m just telling the truth.” Liang Song said in all seriousness.

“Alright, shut up the both of you. Before we participate in the battle, nobody talks! Who talks first, that person would have to copy the Hunter Code 100 times, second time 200 times!” Once the middle-aged man said that, the both of them dared not talk anymore.

In mid-air, Xie Yu had been killing the monsters on his own for more than an hour. He had no idea how many monsters he had already killed. It was Lin Huang’s first time seeing a transcendent fight at such a close distance, he looked like a weapon that would never ran out of ammo.

Suddenly, the monsters that were coming out of the Virtual Eye slowed down. Lin Huang could hear a strange roar from within the Virtual Eye. Soon, gigantic claws with scales were seen at the edge of the Virtual Eye. Lin Huang knew that the transcendent monster was coming…
