Every time a creature was killed by the red-haired man, a strange occurrence would happen near him. The occurrence in question was the complete disappearance of the creature"s blood essence, without leaving any trace around it.

Normally when one died, the individual"s blood essence would take some time to disappear and could still be sensed by individuals as the blood was still present in the person"s body.

"Oh, that"s quite interesting…", exclaimed Fell while paying attention to the red haired man"s next kill. It didn"t take him long, and soon enough, the red haired man took down another fierce beast.

As expected, he saw the creature disappear from his senses. Fell continued gazing at the man while pondering on the reason for such strange mysteries, and after a few minutes of patient a.n.a.lysis. He came to two very similar conclusions.

"Either his treasure is capable of absorbing an enemies" blood essence, or it is the red haired man itself who is executing a mysterious technique.", He mumbled with glinting lights flaring on the white of his eyes. "Well…", he said while raising his shoulder in a brisk manner. "None of those possibilities really surprise me.", he exclaimed before taking his sight away from the man.

He began walking on the wall while approaching the few figures standing near the numerous ray light canons. He continued looking at the battlefield and before long couldn"t help but let a hearty laugh escape from his throat.

"With them here, I don"t think the south wall will be in any kind of trouble.", he thought with a beaming smile on his face. He was truly content by the fact that other people from the core had come here to defend the city.

"I guess a promise is still a promise.", he thought as a satisfied grin flashed on his face.

The few people afar noticed him due to his eccentric laughter, and couldn"t help but throw the young man a strange look. But they soon ignored him and continued monitoring the ongoing battle. They only turned toward him when they heard their footstep approach his position.

"h.e.l.lo.", they heard the youth greet them and couldn"t help but return the greeting. He walked past them, and they soon ignored him despite the strangeness of his actions.

They knew that a bunch of eccentric existed among the cultivators, thus didn"t pain much attention to the youth. They saw from his martial attire, and with their seasoned eyes, they saw through part of his military strength.

"This young man is strong!", thought an old man standing among them. His eyes squinted into slits, but he still acted as if he saw nothing and only nodded toward the youth in an amicable manner.

Fall walked past them in an unhurried manner. As soon as he greeted them, he ignored them as his sight was locked on the beast wave in front of him. And in particular, he noticed a few friendly heads he had seen before, some from the a.s.sault team, while others came straight from the core.


"It might truly become a possibility…", he thought as he saw the main district and the core work hand in hand to defend the south wall. There were numerous beasts here compared to the two other walls, but Fell didn"t feel a beast of the level of the humongous spider creature.

"Although, even if one came to existence, he should be capable enough to deal with it on his own.", one last thought about the red haired man pa.s.sed through his mind. His steps took him further away from the south wall, and he continued advancing through the road in front of him.

Before long, the sounds of the battle turned distant before disappearing and left place to complete silence.

His steps reverberated with the chilling windy breeze and his thought constantly flowed in his mind in a constant stream. The experience of this day had left him confident in the future defenses, but he still felt that something was off and that nothing much had been shown from the other side.

Except for a few beasts that had evolved enough time to turn into a threat, the rest were ravenous cannon fodder that could be easily taken down with a few bullets. For the otherworldly guest that had told him about the beast wave in a scared manner, he couldn"t help but feel that the worst was yet to come.

"And there are still those unknown bombs…", thought the young cultivator between two steps.

His walk continued in silence, and time ticked at the same time as his thought flowed through his mind. The complete silence surrounding him eased his senses that had been a.s.saulted ever since the day started. After muddling over the many things that might happen over the battle, he decided to enjoy the silence for the next few minutes simply.

The terrain and many biome existents near the city entered his sight. Rocky fields that were void of any plan, surrounded by numerous small mountains and valley. At some point, the terrain changed, and a surreal meadow appeared in the middle of the deserted area. The young cultivator couldn"t help but stop in his track and gazed for a minute at the strange oddity.

"I can"t feel any soul power, heaven and earth energy, or even blood essence near that gra.s.sland…", he thought before concluding in a low mumble. "I haven"t even left the city, and I"m already meeting strange oddity in nature…", the young cultivator didn"t know that a few centuries ago, the face of the earth had changed after facing a ma.s.sive upheaval.

Ever since that time, the Earth had been scarred in atrocious ways that had taken many hundreds of years to heal. Those dark times had happened before the era where the many cities were governed by corporates and had turned into sovereign city-state that governed themselves.

No one knew if the cause of that was due to the disappearance of the nation behind those cities, or if it was simply a ma.s.sive revolution caused by the calamity that had caused shambles on the surface of the earth.

New Casablanca was one of such city-state that had been governing itself for many centuries. Its habitant only thought of themselves as natives of the cities, and had since long thrown the lineage of their nation. Fell wasn"t aware of those things, but that didn"t mean that those events didn"t shift the destiny of the young man.

Without the city turning into a sovereign city state that self governed itself, the core would have never appeared, and the baby cemetery would have never appeared on the face of the city. One couldn"t truly know if the self governing att.i.tude of those cities was a good thing or not, but what was sure was that this reality was the same everywhere in Earth.

A planet with vast lineage and ancestry, but that was in a terrible shape due to the many past mistakes. Those were the thought coming from the many civilizations that had received information about Fell"s planet. A lot of wasted potential that would sadly never be recovered.

Fell walked for thirty minutes before arriving near the outpost on the east wall. The vast battlefield once again entered his field of view, and he once again was pleasantly surprised to notice how well this outpost was faring.

They were holding the wall with such a firm grasp that most of their soldiers were shooting from the height of the wall. The reason of that was simple and laid on the numerous androids fighting among the ma.s.s of beasts. They fought using human martial art and the numerous weapon and blades they were equipped with.

The AI controlling them ordered a common battle plan, and the battlefield had turned into giant chess game where the android and the MechSuit formed New Casablanca"s p.a.w.n.

And as the android"s lives had been deemed less valuable than the true-blooded human, a sad choice had to be orchestrated, and the android was chosen as the solely grounded soldiers. Every dozen of seconds, one wave of flying MechSuit would plunge on the battlefield. They streaked through the air, and a sea of bullets would rain on the beast army that could only try and bite the metallic limbs of the many androids.

But even that was hard work in itself as they had been cast in reinforced steel plates. Their defenses could even be deemed slightly superior to a MechSuit as a lot less work needed to be done for a pilot"s comfort. In the case when an android would be too damaged, then a countdown would be started by the AI, and a ma.s.sive explosion would arise from the energy core of the metallic automated creature.

"What a refined battle plan!?", thought Fell out loud. He approached the position filled with numerous cannon, and only stopped when he noticed dozens of soldier wearing MechSuit jump out of the wall.
