Chapter 285: Corruption (2)
"Come on, let’s see what you’ve got," Adrian muttered, gripping his dagger tightly.
Unfortunately for Adrian, that couldn’t be realised in time.
Just as he was about to charge, something unexpected happened. Ropes shot out from nowhere, wrapping around the demon. The demon roared in anger and confusion, struggling against the ropes that held him in place.
"What the...?" Adrian mumbled when he saw George, Vesper, Amelia and a bunch of strangers jumping out of their vehicles.
They moved with expert efficiency, their actions coordinated and precise as they dealt with the demonic human. Vesper jumped on his back, tightening the rope around his neck while George, now sporting a thick beard, began chanting softly.
Adrian watched in amazement as a glowing magic circle formed beneath the demon, further immobilising it. At the same time, Amelia and the rest prepared their strongest attacks to let loose on the demon. Within moments, the demonic human was turned to dust.
Adrian smiled when their eyes met as the old group, looking worse for wares, walked towards them. However, they seem to be in a hurry.
"Come on, in the cars now!" George yelled.
They didn’t argue and did as they were told. Once everyone was inside, they made a mad dash through the place. It was then Adrian and the rest got their first look at the new world they had returned to.
The world around them had turned unrecognisable, vastly different from the one they were used to. Everywhere they looked, they saw devastation and destruction.
Buildings were reduced to rubble, and roads were cracked and broken with vehicles scattered about. It was as if they had walked into some zombie apocalypse movie set.
