Chapter 208:
It was three hours later when the Witch Hunters entered the sewers. With their arrival, this Ghoul Rampage had already passed the initial chaotic defense phase and moved towards counterattack. As Murphy also personally led people into the sewers, tonight’s battle entered its most intense stage.
Thanks to the time gained by the fearless little players in the beginning, not many ghouls had burst out to the surface before the hastily mobilized Kadman People’s Army established several defense lines.
However, some ghouls accidentally found the rock walls torn open at the city rift. They rushed out from those almost 90° vertically cut rock crevices, plummeting to the bottom of the deeper rift below, and were then swallowed up by the rolling Astral Realm aura there.
What exactly lies at the bottom of the city rift remains an “unsolved mystery” to this day.
The impact of over a dozen dimensional meteorites was enough to leave a thick chaotic spirit energy aura lingering there for a long time, making it difficult even for Spirit Sovereigns like Tris to probe the true situation below.
But it’s not that they truly can’t enter, it’s just not necessary.
Whatever is down there, it won’t affect the surface construction in the short term. Moreover, as time passes, the chaotic spirit energy there is dissipating. Murphy has enough patience to wait for those hidden things to see the light of day again. Most importantly, Murphy simply doesn’t have that many resources to invest in this exploration that might not yield any returns at all.
Back to the sewers.
With the entry of experts in dealing with ghouls and wraiths, the offensive of these “stinky things” continuously bursting out from underground was quickly contained completely.
