The fireball, carrying the Anomaly with it, slammed into the building once more. A deafening chain of explosions rang out, and it blasted diagonally through the other side of the building—
With a thunderous boom, smoke and dust shot dozens of meters into the air.
"All reinforcement units, change your mission objective to rescuing and evacuating the residents within the complex! The area within a three-hundred-meter radius of Night Fiend's battle with the Anomaly is now a restricted zone!" The door to the temporary command room opened, and the elderly director rolled in in an electric wheelchair. "Colonel, have your men take Yang Lian and Ye Xuan and leave that place immediately."
"That hunter called Night Fiend... doesn't she need support?" the officer asked doubtfully.
This officer was not part of the local garrison in Shu Province, but a reinforcement commander transferred from Chunming City. As for Night Fiend, all he knew was that she was an exceptionally powerful Anomaly Hunter. He had not had the chance to review any of her detailed mission files.
It was not because he was arrogant, but because time had simply been too tight—they had been busy nearly every minute since being transferred to Tianfu City. Merely remembering the names of the chief personnel in Tianfu City's various departments had already been difficult enough, let alone learning the specific abilities of subordinate hunters.
"She doesn't need it." The Old Director shook his head. "Allies would only hinder her performance."
In the greenbelt between Buildings Thirteen and Fifteen of Xingcheng Gardens, a crater more than thirty meters in radius and nearly two meters deep had appeared out of nowhere. The blast wave had swept the surrounding shrubs and trees away like dead leaves, while blue flames raged within the pit.
"It's Blue Flame!" Song
