«REPORTS COMING IN SAY AN UNKNOWN FIGURE WAS SIGHTED IN THE SKY REIGNING DOWN DESTRUCTIVE ATTACKS ON THE DISTRICT!»
«WE NOW HAVE FOOTAGE OF THE SCENE»
The panic across the city increased as every media outlet displayed the scene where the entire vicinity had crumbled into the ground.
The district had become a ma.s.sive crater now. It was devoid of life, and only destruction could be seen all around. It had practically turned into a wasteland.
MBO officers and other authorities were arriving on the scene to conduct investigations. The entire city was in fear seeing this as they had no idea what they were dealing with.
Just as this was ongoing, the entire city began to tremble again as an explosion went off in several areas.
Booom! Booom! Booom!
Within every part of the city, everyone could see the ma.s.sive mushroom cloud that rose up to the sky.
The craziest part was the ma.s.sive explosion was happening in fourteen different places all across the city at the same time.
The media outlets spread their forces across the city, sending out multiple reporters to cover the different areas where these destructions were ongoing.
It was truly a crazy day in Burning Sands city as these happenings would go down in the annals of history as one of the scariest since the city was created.
Choppers and other aircraft filled the air as the authorities moved swiftly to the different areas where the incidents were happening.
Mixedbloods with different abilities helped to put out the fires caused by the ma.s.sive explosions spreading to other parts.
They noticed that these areas where the incidents had occurred were mostly business areas and rich neighborhoods where the rich and powerful lived.
This made the case of even higher priority than it was earlier.
«BREAKING NEWS! THE AUTHORITIES HAVE SHOCKINGLY DISCOVERED THE HEADS OF MR VANISHER, MR HARLO, AND MRS BANs.h.i.+A STAPLED TO THE CENTRAL CITY MEGA SCREEN!»
"BREAKING NEWS!"
"BREAKING NEWS!"
As the news of the death of these three influential people spread, it caused distress and confusion across the city.
These three were the most influential figures in the city, and now they had been killed, and their heads hung in a part of the city for everyone to see.
It was a great humiliation to them and their families and the authorities who were unable to trace the culprit or see any signs. It was as if the heads just suddenly appeared in that part of the city.
It struck fear in people"s hearts and curiosity as to who was responsible for such.
The city government had already issued out a state of emergency, informing all citizens to stay indoors and those currently out doing one business or the other to find a place to stay in the meantime.
They were h.e.l.lbent on discovering who was responsible, and right now, the looks of the figure had been put on display for everyone to see.
The person had a human figure but was covered in a black and reddish kind of energy that extended above their head.
Wherever such a person went, they would be spotted, so they asked the citizens to immediately call the authorities the moment they spotted someone looking like that.
The news kept coming in about the different destroyed places, and the death toll kept piling up.
Over thirty minutes had gone by since the first destruction, and not a single living soul had been found in one of the places where the incident went down.
It was pure chaos in the city of Burning Sands at this moment, and everyone felt like the shadow of death and destruction was looming over them.

Currently, a team of MBO investigators was at the first scene where Gustav and the three had battled.
The people who were left after the whole incident was around twenty-five, Charisas and Marshall subtracted. They had already left the scene long before the authorities arrived.
At the moment, they were questioning the victims and asking how the over three hundred storey tall building became a pile of sc.r.a.ps.
Up to ninety percent of the victims were traumatized by what they had witnessed and could barely speak.
The only connection the authorities could use from what everyone had been saying was, "The kid saved us, but he became a monster,"
They already knew this was connected to the incident, but they couldn"t ask the remaining ten percent who survived because they were seriously injured and undergoing treatment.
Corpses upon corpses kept stacking, and a lot of DNA tests would have to be conducted to find out who these people were since most of the corpses were immensely disfigured.
"How could this happen?" One of the MBO officers voiced out as he moved across the scene of devastation with his subordinates.
"Obviously, they were powerful mixedbloods," One of the subordinates voiced out.
"Yes... But how was such a thing occurring right under our noses, and we didn"t know? There was no alarm. None of us could sense anything," The MBO officer said with a tone of disbelief.
"One of the victims mentioned a crumbling gla.s.s that covered the sky... My guess is, the culprits used a cloaking barrier," Another one of the subordinates voiced out.
"That seems feasible... Still... To cause so much destruction without care..." The MBO officer felt the culprits must either be very powerful and confident to the point where they were sure they would not be caught by the MBO, or they were just stupid.
"But whoever this kid is that was mentioned.... We need to figure out his ident.i.ty as soon as possible. He is the key to finding out what has happened in the city today,"
