A gigantic Spatial Rift, a hundred meters tall, abruptly appeared on Mondstadt soil.
Black mist and filth surged out of the rift like floodwaters that had finally found an outlet after building up for ages!
In an instant, thick, pitch-black mist engulfed all of Stormterror's Lair.
Then filthy black sludge swept through like a raging flood.
Wherever the black mist and sludge passed, every plant rotted away, leaving only blackened earth that gave off a foul miasma.
The small animals dissolved on the spot after the sludge swallowed them, becoming filth.
The effects of the filth and darkness were still relatively minor; they were merely some of the things that gushed out when the rift opened.
The truly terrifying things were the monsters from beyond!
A pack of Rifthounds charged out of the rift, followed by a mass of black monsters that resembled desiccated corpses.
These savage beasts and monsters had no emotions, only the instincts to destroy and devour.
They seemed born for destruction. The moment they appeared, they began destroying and devouring everything in a frenzy!
Animals, humans, plants, trees, buildings-every living thing and every trace of existence became a target for their destruction.
They attacked and destroyed everything around them with wild abandon.
The Knights of Favonius ordered to stand guard and investigate there barely managed to fire a signal flare after noticing the anomaly before the sludge engulfed them, dissolving them on the spot.
Space throughout Mondstadt was now incredibly fragile and unstable, like a water-filled balloon with a hole in it. Once this first rift appeared, another could open anywhere else.
After Stormterror's Lair, Spatial Rifts of varying sizes appeared one after another in Dadaupa Gorge, Windrise, Starsnatch Cliff, Cape Oath, Windrise, the Whispering Woods, and Eagle's Soar Coast.
Disaster descended upon all of Mondstadt
