Darkness enveloped everything.
An absolute silence and darkness surrounded him.
This scene, deep as an abyss, was enough to drive anyone with a less mature mind insane.
"Calm down, just calm down."
Chad's body immediately curled up from the sofa, cautiously sensing every stirring from the outside world.
"There are invisible and visible Eerie Beings."
"Generally speaking, invisible Eerie Beings are more dangerous and harder to deal with than visible Eerie Beings."
"But Kiadan is in the first zone, so there's a high chance that the Eerie Beings encountered are visible..."
"Likely some strange and peculiar monsters..."
Chad began quickly searching through the knowledge he had gathered about Eerie Beings in his mind.
Although he hadn't become a powerful awakened one, his sense of crisis as a transmigrator had already prepared him.
However...
Whether visible or invisible, the common characteristic of Eerie Beings were bloodthirsty!
Once caught by them, there was no other choice but to fight back!
Therefore, Chad's best strategy at the moment was: Hide well! Don't let the Eerie Beings find you!
He wasn't foolish, so he wouldn't choose to go out.
Nevertheless.
"Awoo~!"
A bloodthirsty wolf's howl suddenly echoed through the small room.
At the same time, a faint red glow appeared.
With the help of this faint red light, a wolf-like creature with two heads appeared in Chad's vision.
And, the cold, bloodthirsty wolf eyes met Chad's gaze!
"Damn it!"
Chad was startled by the cold, ruthless vertical pupils, and cursed under his breath.
His luck was really terrible. The mist had just descended, and an Eerie Being had directly found him.
Could things get any worse?
After cursing, Chad wouldn't sit idly by. He seized the opportunity, nimbly got up from the sofa, and then, with the help of the red light, found the rope he had prepared long ago—tied to the balcony, with a secure knot every 1.64 feet for gripping.
Then, holding the rope, he descended from the fifth floor, stop by stop.
The situation downstairs was also not optimistic.
As soon as Chad steadied himself, he saw another ugly and fierce Eerie Being chasing a group of people.
He was forced to join the fleeing crowd.
But it wasn't even ten seconds.
The two-headed wolf-like monster from upstairs appeared on the other side.
The two Eerie Beings worked together, completely blocking all escape routes for Chad and the others.
A fearful atmosphere permeated the scene.
Many people even covered their mouths and noses, sobbing quietly.
Chad clenched his fists, took a deep breath, and his chest heaved.
He looked at the dim, abyss-like environment and the bloodthirsty Eerie Beings on both sides. A deep sense of powerlessness and suffocation filled Chad's chest.
"If I were an awakened. I wouldn't be in such a dangerous situation! If only I could control my own destiny!"
At that moment, Chad's desire to become an awakened was extremely strong.
He hated his current inability.
...
"The awakened have arrived!"
"Great, we're saved!"
Just then.
Excited voices came from the crowd.
The word "awakened" quickly drew Chad's attention.
He followed the sound of the crowd and their line of sight, and indeed spotted five people wearing uniforms, with appearances and demeanors unlike ordinary people.
"Are these people the awakened?"
Chad keenly noticed that there was a golden five-pointed star on the shoulders of their uniforms.
"All non-essential personnel, retreat immediately!"
The five newcomers, upon seeing the two Eerie Beings, also had grave expressions.
The leader made a quick decision and ordered the crowded ordinary people to retreat.
This gave them space to fight without worrying about hurting everyone.
Chad quickly squeezed to the corner of the wall with the crowd, but his eyes were still fixed on these five legendary awakened.
He wanted to see what was different about these people from ordinary people and what strange abilities they had awakened.
"Splitting Wind!"
The five-person team quickly engaged in a fierce battle with the two Eerie Beings.
The team leader shouted, and a semi-elliptical green wind appeared in his palm.
Then, with a swipe of his hand, the green Splitting Wind struck the neck of the two-headed wolf-like Eerie Being.
Instantly, a large amount of wolf fur and crimson blood sprayed out.
"Awoo!"
The two-headed wolf-like Eerie Being let out a painful roar, and its body swelled by another third.
A pair of huge, sharp wolf claws swiped down at the leader of the awakened team.
The leader looked in horror at the enlarging wolf claws in his pupils and realized with fear that they had underestimated the strength of these two Eerie Beings.
"Second stage! These two Eerie Beings are nearly at the second stage realm..."
However, the leader's shocked words were not finished.
The giant wolf claws had already torn a bloody hole in his chest.
His internal organs and blood clumps flowed out, bloody and brutal.
"Leader!"
The other four team members couldn't help but cry out in sorrow.
However, in a moment of distraction, another team member was killed on the spot by the other Eerie Being, whose strength was close to the second stage.
Just one encounter!
Two members of the five-person awakened team were lost!
The scene fell into a terrifying stiffness.
The ordinary people huddled at the wall, including Chad, watched this bloody scene in the middle of the street, not daring to breathe.
Many people's legs went weak with despair, trembling and almost collapsing to the ground.
Despair!
Coldness!
Terror!
Even the awakened were no match for the Eerie Beings. Weren't they, a group of ordinary people, just lambs waiting to be slaughtered?
Everyone trembled and huddled in the corner, their eyes dodging as they looked at the two Eerie Beings that stood tall, constantly emitting cruel laughs.
The remaining three awakened members also constantly swallowed, feeling immense pressure.
The atmosphere was tense like a fully drawn bowstring.
Suddenly, a low, sonorous sound pierced through the night sky from afar.
Before everyone could react, the entire street was filled with bluish-purple thunder.
"Ah!!!"
The two Eerie Beings, locked down by the violent thunder, let out painful roars.
And in the blink of an eye, they turned into two charred black corpses.
Everyone stared in astonishment at what was happening in the middle of the street.
They saw that a graceful figure had appeared there.
Like the previous five-person awakened team, she also wore a specific uniform.
Only—
"Four stars! She's a four-star awakened!"
"Heavens! To see a powerful four-star awakened in Kiadan!"
"Kiadan is in the first zone, with only second stage Eerie Beings at most. I didn't expect a four-star awakened to come and rescue us!"
"Great! With the support of a four-star awakened, Kiadan will surely turn crisis into safety!"
Many people in the crowd noticed that there were four golden five-pointed stars on the graceful figure's uniform.
This represented that her strength had reached the four-star level.
A four-star awakened, a solid pillar!
At least much stronger than them!
......
However, among the crowd, unlike everyone else who was excited to the point of boiling over, Chad looked at the girl in the center of the street with surprise.
"Four-star awakened?"
"My sister, Gabrial?!"
