The rumbling continued, and the tremors grew ever more violent.
Every building in Ring City flew into the air at once. Then the ground began to collapse, as though a devil lurking underground had opened its jaws and swallowed the entire city in one gulp.
Songshi's eyes widened.
They were filled with disbelief.
Her gaping mouth was wide enough to fit a duck egg.
What happened?
Why had Ring City, which was right in front of her a moment ago, disappeared?
It had clearly been right there.
How could something so big vanish in an instant?
The chaotic thoughts left Songshi's head spinning. At that moment, she paid no attention to Qin Ran carrying her swiftly along by the collar.
In fact, she wished Qin Ran would move even faster.
Because...
The explosions were still going!
Songshi was lucky. Qin Ran had been prepared and was carrying her away.
The Anomalies inside Ring City were not so fortunate.
Most of them were blown to pieces before they could even figure out what was happening.
Some of the stronger ones were severely injured and lay groaning in the rubble.
Others, stronger still, were unhurt, but utterly bewildered.
Who am I?
Where am I?
Why did my home suddenly disappear while I was inside it?
And...
Why does it stink so much?!
As they looked at their ruined homes and smelled the stench clinging to their bodies, the powerful Anomalies' bewilderment gradually gave way to rage. Their eyes reddened, and they began to roar.
"Who?!"
"Who was it?!"
"Come out!"
Their roars traveled far through the underground.
Qin Ran faintly heard them.
But he did not care.
He ran even faster.
Because he could sense two terrifying presences rising from the Royal City in Ring City.
The Liao King!
The Qi King!
