Chapter 463: In the Killing March Toward Eternity Chapter 424 Discovery One

These vortices were the result of air currents altered by the massive energy gathered from the golden formations below. It was the high-speed flow of air friction driven by the energy.

The vortices formed by the clouds spun rapidly, generating a profusion of blue sparks, spreading across the entire layer of clouds like a spider’s web. Thunder rumbled intermittently.

The skies above Norsent were filled with countless dark clouds, bringing vast shadows.

The sky grew dim as if it were the end of the world.

The golden pillars released a powerful airflow and magnetic field. High-energy radiation and force fields twisted and shattered everything within tens of meters around the pillar, which then slowly levitated.

The buildings slowly tilted, and glass shattered instantly into fragments.

Vehicles, accompanied by roaring noise, levitated and were twisted into twisted hunks of metal. Those people still within range who didn’t manage to flee were instantly vaporized by the invisible force field, turning into clouds of blood mist.

Cries of agony and explosions followed one another incessantly.

Annis happened to be within this range. She watched in utter terror as her body slowly floated up.

"No!!" she screamed. Waves of force invisibly tore at her limbs, and intense pain continuously flooded her brain.

Boom!!

A young woman beside her exploded suddenly, her bright red blood and fragments of bones and brains instantly mixed into an indistinct mass.

The streets cracked, and as the severe vibrations continued, black fissures like vines kept branching out. They densely covered the entire street beneath Annis.

"No!! I don’t want to die!!!" Annis’s mind blanked, her intense agony nearly overwhelming her.

"Hmm?" Suddenly, a puzzled voice came through. "It’s you." It was a gentle male voice.

Annis suddenly felt all the forces tearing at her vanish. Although her body was still suspended in mid-air, it was no longer the excruciating pain she had felt before.

Suddenly!

A strong yank pulled at her. Annis felt her chest tighten, and in an instant, she was flung upward, flying towards the towering golden pillar.

Lin Fei beckoned with one hand.

The woman with flaxen hair below instantly flew towards him.

Hiss...

After a soft noise, the golden pillar slowly shrank and thinned.

Eventually, it grew fainter and thinner until it finally dissipated in the sky.

The golden ring slowly turned a few circles, emitting a sharp screeching sound as if it were the cry of some unknown creature. Then, with a snap, the entire golden formation suddenly shattered into pieces.

It broke into five fragments that flew off in all directions. However, after flying about a dozen meters away, they disappeared completely into the air.

It was only then that Lin Fei had the time to turn around and look at the woman who had just asked him for directions. She was suspended in the air by his power, floating on the edge of the big clock tower.

"Are you okay?" he asked gently.

Annis was still shaken as she swallowed her saliva, her face pale as she tried to speak but couldn’t make a sound. Due to extreme tension, her throat seemed to have spasmed and torn.

She quickly glanced below. To her surprise, she was still suspended in the air.

"Ah!!" she screamed. Her voice was hoarse, but in an instant, her eyes rolled back, and she fainted completely.

Lin Fei gestured with one hand, and Annis immediately flew to the rooftop at his feet and lay down.

The others behind him couldn’t help but laugh in unison.

"Lord Yan Fei, have you taken a fancy to this native woman? To go to the trouble of protecting her alone," the Serpent woman said with a sly laugh.

Lin Fei smiled.

"I just had a chat with her on the street; she’s an acquaintance. I saved her in passing."

Griffin glanced indifferently at the woman on the ground, then lifted his gaze to the enormous vortex in the sky.

"My people have arrived."

The rest looked up at the sky as well.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!

Several figures fell from the dark cloud vortex, flying in the air. Each figure was enveloped in a powerful aura of energy.

Then, again with the sound of whooshing,

A large group of figures fell like rain from the vortex, all suspended in mid-air.

Griffin’s mouth curled into a slight smile.

"My Crown Troop, has arrived first."

Lin Fei looked up to see more figures continuously dropping from the sky, densely packed, numbering in the hundreds.

Among them, there were at least thirty with the aura of B-level. None of them were below C-level.

These individuals varied in dress, male and female, young and old, but they had one thing in common: a gold lightning symbol on the right side of their chests.

Golden lightning, this is the mark representative of the Griffins. It signifies that these people all belong to the Griffin’s troops.

Masses and masses of figures were rapidly descending, getting closer to the big clock tower.

Then, another group descended from the black vortex. This time it was the troops of the Dark Night Castle of the Night King. His forces were somewhat fewer, with only five or six having B-level Auras and totaling no more than twenty or thirty people, much less than the hundreds under Griffin’s command. Their mark was a golden bat worn on the right chest.

Following them were the Serpent Demon Troop under the command of the Serpent Woman, with three B-level and more than twenty C-level members, identified by a golden cobra head emblem.

Loga’s forces, making their first appearance, were the Obsidian Squad, comprising four B-level and fifteen C-level members, marked by a gold-rimmed diamond-shaped Black Crystal.

Lin Fei, however, had no extra manpower to send over.

Lin Fei carefully observed the powerful figures suspended around the clock tower, their Auras undoubtedly seasoned and restrained. Any one of them plucked at random was surely battle-hardened. Anyone entering here for the first time was undoubtedly the most elite and reliable force under each Council member. To think that such forces could exist in such numbers gave an idea of how strong and vast the potential power behind those Council members was.

Whoosh!

A slender black figure suddenly flew down from the black void with extreme speed, appearing beside Lin Fei almost in the blink of an eye.

"My lord, I have arrived."

Yuan Yicheng, dressed in a black suit and carrying four Black Longswords on his back, stood quietly behind Lin Fei.

"This time, apart from needing hands in the Overworld to stabilize the situation, I could only send you over. After all, we cannot compare with the others," Lin Fei said with some emotion.

The other four were assigning tasks and giving orders to their subordinates.

One team after another flew out, landing in the streets below. The number of people quickly dwindled, but the spread of Energy Auras was rapidly expanding.

Down in the city, a vast throng of people and cars were jammed together. Some had even gotten into accidents, and everyone was frantically racing toward the suburbs outside the city. The sound of car horns, cries, and gunshots mixed with the wailing of police sirens.

The entire vicinity of the city plunged into complete chaos.

In the distance, some helicopters were slowly approaching, and a large number of police cars and officers were gathering around those blocks and setting up red and yellow warning tape. Rows and rows of riot police, carrying riot shields, were jogging tensely outside the cordoned area to set up.

"To those inside, listen up, you are surrounded! Drop your weapons immediately, raise your hands and squat down, and we will consider leniency... To those inside, listen..." a chubby middle-aged officer shouted loudly through a megaphone, repeating the message.

A few young officers stood by his side. One of the female officers whispered, "Boss, the Snipers are in position."

The chubby officer nodded slightly, put down the megaphone; the previous words had been recorded and were being replayed loudly. The volume was probably enough to ensure that the surrounding blocks could hear it and sufficient to cover the sound of their own conversations.

"Is everything ready?" the chubby officer asked softly.

"Yes, the special bullets brought from above can knock out an elephant in one shot!" the female officer said with a smile. "No matter if they are aliens or any other creatures, as long as they are biological, these will definitely work!"

"Wait for my signal!" the chubby officer said sternly.

He looked up at the clock tower in the distance, where groups of figures were rapidly descending and spreading out.

"We’re only responsible for sealing the perimeter. The rest is none of our business. There are special forces to handle that. Pass the message along; free shoot any suitable targets you see!"

"Will do!"

An officer responded and left.

*****************

Lin Fei, holding the woman named Annis and accompanied by Yuan Yicheng, flew up and hovered outside the clock tower.

"Everyone, I don’t have as many people as you do, so I’ll have to make a move first," he conveyed telepathically.

Griffin and the others had long noticed that Lin Fei had come alone. They were secretly pleased, for the fewer people Lin Fei had, the slower he would be at gaining advantages and reaping benefits in this world.

Loga, however, smiled and said, "I would like to invite you to join me, but only if Lord Yan Fei is willing."

"No need," Lin Fei replied with a smile. "I’ll take a look around this world first. By the way, Lord Griffin, has your research team come up with a detailed analysis report?"

Griffin nodded, raising his hand, and a speck of black light shot straight towards Lin Fei.

Lin Fei caught it accurately, and it turned out to be a small USB drive, similar to the method used by the spider to pass on information.

On the chip inside the USB drive, however, were inscribed microscopic characters with vast amounts of information, which only a High Level could easily read by harnessing Potential Energy.

After thanking Griffin and taking the USB, Lin Fei turned, carrying Annis, and he and Yuan Yicheng quickly flew down into the streets.

Griffin watched as the three figures of Lin Fei quickly disappeared into a corner of the street and then turned his head back.

"I suppose each of you has your own plans. How about we go our separate ways from here?" he said with a smile.

***************

Lin Fei walked slowly along the empty streets. He seemed unhurried, but each step spanned more than ten meters instantly, extremely eerie.

The sky was still overcast with dark clouds, and the black vortex remained. This was a permanent Teleportation Formation established with a scroll bought by Griffin using his influence in the world of Magic.

This Teleportation vortex was in fact a giant Teleportation gate, with the other end linked directly to the exit in front of Elisa’s Gate in this world.

That is to say, as long as someone entered Elisa’s Gate, they could directly enter this Teleportation Formation and arrive in Norsent city, United Kingdom, in this world.

"What are your thoughts on this world?" Lin Fei asked quietly.

Yuan Yicheng, following behind, pondered for a moment before answering, "It’s very similar to Earth, with the absence of the various large and small forces being the primary difference. The most critical point is that there is no Potential Energy here. The power of Psychics will be significantly weakened out of thin air, possibly even disappearing completely. However, the air is thick with the energy of dreams, making it a paradise for Awakeners and Dream Eaters." (To be continued.
