Chapter 123: Daisy Town Attacked
"Arghhh!"
A man was impaled through the abdomen and lifted into the air, screaming in agonizing pain. The one responsible was a humanoid figure with bony protrusions jutting out from its body. It wielded a long, sharp bone, grown from its own arm, as a weapon. With a swift motion, it threw the now-limp man off the tip of its bone, sending the body crashing to the ground. Its face bore two deep sockets glowing with red eyes, and it stood at about two meters tall.
Boom!
A thunderclap roared in the sky as heavy rain poured down.
"Roger!"
"No, Cain! He’s already gone, we have to get out of here!" one of the men shouted, grabbing Cain by the armpit and pulling him away. Their faces were pale with terror after watching their friend die so gruesomely.
"Come on, you two! What are you waiting for?!" another man shouted, wielding a sword in one hand and a shield in the other.
Cain stood up shakily, rubbing his eyes before unsheathing his sword. He then dashed off with the rest of the fleeing men.
Rain soaked their shirts and sloshed into their boots as they splashed through muddy puddles.
"Damn it! Damn it! What is happening here?!" Cain shouted in frustration.
He was one of the guards assigned here as part of a temporary rotation. It had only been three days since he arrived. And now, out of nowhere, just this evening, three massive yellow magical arrays had appeared in the sky, and with them came a horde of monsters.
At first, the guards managed to hold off the monsters as they tried to evacuate the townspeople. But over time, the portals that had appeared continued releasing more monsters until they simply couldn’t hold the line anymore. The ones they encountered just now, the bony, humanoid monsters, were the worst of them.
