Chapter 1097 - 1097 Battle of 555 begins (4200)_2

Chapter 1097: Battle of 555 begins (4200)_2 Chapter 1097: Battle of 555 begins (4200)_2 Casio’s gaze was profound, like a dark, pitch-black well.

“Black Rain Villa, the entire Magical Golem Sect, many Secret Martial Arts schools, all are moving northwards to the Imperial Capital, Florence, to assist the Dark Hunt Organization in defending against the Catastrophe Tidal that emerged there. Otto, Blood Mist, Nine Snakes, and the Ascetics…”

“You all should go as well.”

“Then, my lord, what about the weak points here in East Sea City?”

Otto asked, somewhat puzzled.

Casio’s expression remained unchanged as he spoke slowly, “Of course, I am going alone. This is the most rational division of strength at this stage.”

He was not being arrogant, nor was he showing off. He genuinely wanted to resolve this disaster that was nearly overturning the entire world.

On the contrary, Casio was very cautious.

Any significant event related to the World of Calamities was never something that could be easily resolved. Think about the terrifying environment of the World of Calamities, the endless Dark creatures, the fearsome Ultimate Dark Entities. They were entirely products born for the purpose of destroying the world.

In the face of these things, no amount of caution was too much.

Therefore, Casio had all the supernatural forces, except himself, converge to Florence. Black Rain Villa, the Secret Martial Arts World, the Dark Hunt Organization—the three most powerful forces in the world—joined forces to confront one of the weak points.

And Casio himself went to that weak point in East Sea City.

This was the confidence brought about by his entry into the Tyrant Fist realm.

Under the complete state of Saint Fist, all were as mere ants.

Casio alone was an army, alone he was the world. Bringing the strength of the Magical Golem Sect would add no advantage but would instead be a waste of manpower. In a certain sense, it might even distract him, preventing him from acting freely.

When Tyrant Fist was employed, the ground shook and mountains trembled, and a slight carelessness could result in collateral damage.

The Magical Golem Sect and other forces should go to Florence and lend their help.

As for the weak point in Gania County, leaving it aside for the time being was a reluctant choice. If forces other than Casio were to be divided into two groups, he doubted whether both fronts could withstand it for long without collapsing.

It was better to defend one point firmly and preserve some measure of success.

Suffering a heavy blow was still far better than losing everything.

Moreover, if Casio could get ahead in opening up the situation here. He could then deal with East Sea City before moving on to Gania County, thus perfectly resolving the Catastrophe Tidal in a theoretical sense.

In the Meeting Room, this discussion lasted for over an hour.

Many points requiring attention were mentioned one by one, repeatedly emphasized.

“Alright, let’s depart. To Florence, to Fal County, to assist the Dark Hunt Organization. Make sure to hold that weak point until I return…” Casio rose from his seat, and his entire form instantly became blurry.

He turned into a shining scarlet human silhouette and disappeared from the Meeting Room. The next second, he appeared on Lake Heart Island of God’s Tear Lake.

In the Magical Golem Sect Meeting Room, silhouettes rapidly streaked out like bats flying in the night, heading off in all directions. The whole of the Magical Golem Sect was mobilized, lights blazing. Its elite members, already geared up, swiftly raced along with the leaders and Elders.

Long lines tangled like a mass of black snakes stretched out.

Their direction was north!

Not long after the Magical Golem Sect had mobilized,

In Gania County, beneath the blood-red, glasslike crack in the sky,

A strange fluctuation had built up to the point where it could no longer be suppressed. At this moment, it erupted like a volcanic eruption, howling past the entire special realm. The air distorted, as if a hazy fog had enveloped the area.

Scouts who were constantly monitoring the changes in the special realm could no longer see clearly what was happening inside. They only knew that the fog was growing redder and brighter until it looked like a cloud with red lightning.

Bang!

A loud explosion reverberated rapidly through the sky.

The fog dissipated instantly.

All could see that the sky of this special realm was no longer covered in a web-like crack but had become a complete void. Projecting the night sky of another world, a faint blood-red hue covered the earth.

Making the air, the trees, the mud all take on a hint of eerie color.

Especially in the air, the sweltering sense of impending doom was almost tangible. This was the first phase of the Blood Moon night in the World of Calamities, causing Dark creatures to stir, Wild Beasts to riot, their aggressiveness far exceeding that of normal.

Hum…

Above the sky, the ancient and unchanging Blood Moon seemed to undergo a change.

Inside the moon, a black spot first appeared, followed by several more, quickly merging into one. Gradually devouring the middle of the Blood Moon.

A glowing but dim ring appeared—this was the second phase, the corona.

The activity of the calamity in the air increased dramatically, the index soared, even staining whole clouds. The Calamity Fog quietly spread.

In the World of Calamities, this was an extremely dangerous moment, triggering beast waves across the continent, and the immortal Hazard Spirits went into a frenzy.

Actually, if it were only changes within the World of Calamities, it wouldn’t matter much. However, what was terrifying was that the dark red corona in the special realm was emitting wisps of scarlet smoke. And this smoke was infecting the moon in the Real World, causing red spots to appear on the bright moon overhead, spreading like a plague.

Hum!!!

At a certain moment, the moon in the Real World was completely dyed red.

Although it was a pale red, not the rich fresh red or dark red. But, this was an extremely horrifying change—it signified that the World of Calamities’ invasion of the Real World had reached a certain stage.

And the Blood Moon in the Real World also brought other terrifying changes!

Almost simultaneously, in every place that could be illuminated by the moonlight. The bodies of Transcendent Beings with the aura of calamity within them suddenly shuddered.

In their ears, it seemed as if chaotic whispers appeared.

Men and women, old and young, overlapping echoes, as if an illusion.

An indescribable beastliness was aroused, flowing from every cell of their bodies, converging into a chaotic will.

That was of wild beasts, even more so of Wild Beasts.

Representing the most primal, barbaric desires of humans as a biological entity.

No one could completely resist this desire; they could only restrain it.

However, under the light of the Blood Moon, all individuals with the aura of calamity in their bodies seemed to lose the ability to restrain. Some of them trembled violently, with mane-like steel needles growing on the surface of their skin.

Some painfully covered their faces, their lips cracking, as two huge, ghastly tusks broke through the mouth, their sharp tips even reaching the chin.

Others were enveloped in dark energy, transforming into twisted and strange shapes.

This was exactly like the issue of beastial and Wild Beast transformations that once existed within the Dark Hunt Organization, except the arrival of the Blood Moon magnified the entire process by hundreds to thousands of times. In just a few breaths, it caused people to mutate.

It was so sudden, there was simply no way to guard against it!

This was a harbinger that the World of Calamities was invading the Real World!

Hum…

A massive wave of calamity slowly swept across the entire world.

In Florence, atop the high spire of the Dark Hunt Organization’s headquarters.

The Chief Inspector of the Black Mechanism trembled all over, his hairs standing up instantly. It seemed as if something inside him was squirming to emerge, but in the end, it did not appear.

“Phew…”

The Chief Inspector of the Black Mechanism slowly exhaled a breath of hot air, his sharp gaze scanning the entire headquarters of the Dark Hunt Organization; no phenomenon of wildness or Wild Beast emerged.

His body relaxed abruptly, the Chief Inspector raised his head to look towards the south.

Fortunately, in these past two years, Casio, the Demon Figure Gate Master, had collaborated with the Dark Hunt Organization, purifying the calamity from the majority of Dark Hunt members who had used the Holy Spring Water. The calamity that had been accumulating in their bodies, utterly untouchable, was driven out, leaving only a faint trace of the aura.

And these traces were not enough to trigger the transformation into wild or Wild Beasts.

Otherwise, just the prelude of the Catastrophe Tidal’s invasion, with the appearance of the Blood Moon in the sky, would inflict an unprecedented heavy blow on the entire Dark Hunt Organization. The stronger their strength, the more they would be twisted and affected by the Wild Beast transformation! Even an existence at the Chief Inspector’s level might not retain much sanity and strength, unable to fully marshal the organization’s resistance.

“The Dark Hunt Organization has escaped a disaster!”

“Casio, both I and the Dark Hunt Organization owe you a huge favor…”

At the same time, amidst the dark clouds in the night sky. The silhouette that was rapidly flying suddenly stopped, hovering in mid-air, looking towards the blood-red moon.

“So this was the reason for the Dark Hunt Organization’s annihilation in the original timeline…”
