The Recorded Footage

Those present included Kannari Rin.

No one understood Bono's frustration; no one knew what was making him angry.

But.

The many V5 organization leaders present were all well-informed and had all heard of the name of this incompetent cabinet minister's son.

But.

Just as Bono was about to launch another attack...

Among the crowd below, Akaru stood up and, accompanied by Berudo, slowly walked to the front of the stage, speaking in a deep voice.

"I believe everyone has heard Group Leader Kannari Rin's report."

"That monster named Sashado is completely different from any Nen Ability -related incidents we've dealt with before..."

"A kingdom from four thousand years ago..."

"It's hard to imagine what kind of abilities this monster possesses to be able to revive at this point, after such a long period of time..."

"We humans... are once again facing a major threat!"

He sighed softly, his white beard trembling slightly, then waved his hand and said to Berudo beside him.

"Go and show everyone the latest relevant information..."

Upon receiving the teacher's order, Berudo immediately went to make the arrangements.

The crowd below also began to murmur amongst themselves.

They thought the meeting would end after hearing Kannari Rin's report, but little did they know, there was more...

Bono still wanted to get some more information from Kannari Rin.

However, even though he had a cabinet minister as his father, he didn't dare to act recklessly in front of Akaru.

Because of the other party's identity.

He is not only the director of the Institute for the Study of Abnormal Affairs in Lusen, one of the V5 member states, but also one of the key personnel in charge of the V5 Joint Strategic Weapons Development Center.

Don't be fooled by their scholarly demeanor.

However, to some extent, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the other party is a major military industrial leader, and moreover, the head of a joint management agency of five countries.

If the other side gives the order, it's not impossible that they might cut off the supply of certain military weapons to Bono's country.

If something like this happened, his father wouldn't let him off easily just because he was his son. Bono knew his father's temper very well.

Soon.

The projected images in front showed some scenes of the city.

The screen was shaking violently.

Clearly, the footage was taken by a highly skilled and agile individual; due to the extremely fast movement, many scenes flashed by in an instant.

However... the image stabilized very quickly.

At the same time, everyone present witnessed a brutal massacre...

Even Bono, who secretly enjoys torture and killing, straightened up from his crossed-leg posture, frowned, and stared intently at the scene in front of him.

Kannari Rin and Wilson, who were already seated, understood that this was probably footage of Sashado attacking a city in Congo.

They were also glued to the screen.

The entire conference hall was unusually quiet at this moment.

The heads of some key departments all frowned, staring intently at everything unfolding before them with grave expressions.

The photographer quickly moved aside.

It appears to be located atop a tall building, and the scene depicts a nighttime view.

Suddenly, a huge, blurry black shadow appeared in the city, moving like some kind of fluid. Wherever it passed, the streetlights went out and emitted a shrill scream.

The dark figure was like a monster that devoured everything, roaming through the city streets and silently engulfing everything.

"What... happened there!?"

Some people were puzzled by what was happening in the video and couldn't help but ask.

But his words had barely left his mouth.

The camera slowly zooms in.

Then everyone could see clearly that the howling, swirling Skeletal Winged Dragon and the Black Mud sweeping everything away below it were like the Styx River washing away all flesh and blood. Countless pale, twisted, and ferocious monsters roared and howled within it, bringing an extremely strong sense of unease!

Most importantly, they saw it.

The large crowds running in the streets were swept away by the Black Mud and fell silent, completely still.

Everyone present turned pale, and someone couldn't help but say something.

What exactly is that Black Mud?

"What happened? Were the people in that city turned into monsters?"

Which city is this?

In an instant.

There was a lot of discussion on the field.

Everyone present was smart enough to understand immediately.

The pale, skeletal humanoid monsters that appeared out of thin air from within the Black Mud were the source of many doubts and questions.

But.

Just then...

The image projected in front of us changed.

The scene showed daytime, with ruins everywhere and the faint sound of bombing could be heard.

"The military has intervened!"

Just hearing the deafening roar of artillery fire, many officials below who had served in the military instantly realized what was happening and had this thought flash through their minds.

Soon, they saw it.

A neatly arrayed armored force was advancing towards the city, continuously bombarding the large number of monsters flying in the sky along the way.

Only through the shaky battlefield footage could those present make a clear view.

They were surprised to learn that the flying monsters were some kind of Pterosaurs- like magical Magical Beasts.

After all, the number is simply too astonishing.

Bono knows this best; he himself is the head of the Magical Beast Affairs Management Agency, so he understands the responsibilities involved to some extent.

Despite the presence of many wondrous magical Magical Beasts on the continents currently explored by humankind.

Even... in those remote and uninhabited areas, there may be strange and undiscovered magical Magical Beasts.

However, the number of Magical Beasts capable of flight is extremely small.

If there were enough of them, they would probably have been domesticated by humans long ago and used as one of the flying machines to replace Airships.

That's why he was so surprised to see so many flying Pterosaurs.

However... what he saw next was even more terrifying.

A vast Pterosaurs of pterosaurs descended from the sky.

Some were enormous, lifting armored vehicles into the air; others spewed flames, showing no fear of the soldiers firing at them relentlessly, burning everything to ashes.

Besides.

On the ground were more pale, humanoid creatures. They looked as if they had never seen the sun and had been skinned, which was very strange. They moved quickly and pounced on people they saw, and were not afraid of bullets at all.

Then.

Everyone present felt as if they were witnessing a biohazard unfolding in the city during the day.

What shocked everyone even more was...

All the soldiers who were knocked down by the monster soon stood up and transformed into monsters themselves!

This bizarre scene.

It sent a chill down everyone's spine.

The scene ended quickly.

However, those present were stunned for a long time.

What are those monsters?

"What happened? Where is Sashado? Why haven't we seen him in the footage?!"

"What happened to those soldiers in the end? Judging from their uniforms, they seem to be from the southern continent. Which country are they from?"

Someone couldn't help but ask.

In response to everyone's questions, Akaru, standing at the front of the stage, looked calmly at the crowd and slowly spoke.

"These two images are real footage from the Gemstone City Feilieka..."

"As for the source of the video, it was conveyed by a disciple of Netero, the Hunter Association Chairman..."

"As you can see, that monster named Sashado never personally lifted a finger, yet... an entire city was destroyed, with no one spared..."

He took a deep breath and said in a low voice.

"This monster is the greatest threat humanity is about to face. This is not an exaggeration, but a predicament we must confront!"

"How to destroy the enemy is the topic of our meeting today!"
