Abnormal Moon

Her face was covered in dust and grime, making her originally beautiful face look dull and lifeless. She covered her eyes with goggles and was fully armed, wearing a bulletproof vest, with a dagger tucked into her leg and a fully loaded automatic rifle in her hand.

But at this moment, the weapon in her hand could not bring her any sense of security.

"Yes, Captain!"

Encouraged by her, the team members behind her seemed to regain their strength and quickened their pace.

The entire guard rushed towards the city wall two kilometers away without stopping, their running as if they wanted to break their legs.

"Damn it, this shitty world!"

While cursing this shitty world in her heart, the girl and her teammates ran desperately towards the city wall.

Her physical strength was not outstanding, and she could only stay in the middle of the team. Even so, she was almost exhausted and could not even maintain her breathing rhythm, panting heavily.

"Hululu——"

A deep, drum-like snoring sound came from behind them.

A multicolored black shadow, like a predatory beast, appeared from the horizon and followed the group at a leisurely pace, like a cat toying with its prey.

The monster was covered in black and white spots, crawled on the ground on eight legs, and had a total of six irregular eyes on its body. Its enormous size was over five meters long and more than two meters tall, completely beyond the range of firearms.

Its eyes gleamed with a cruel, almost human-like light. At its speed, catching up with a group of humans would only take a minute, and it could easily bring them despair. But it didn't do that. Instead, it toyed with its prey like a cat playing with a mouse.

It will suddenly burst forth and rush forward just before the group of humans reach the city wall, bringing them the deepest despair at the moment they see hope of survival.

"call?"

It suddenly let out a low murmur.

Those eyes, at different heights and in different directions, suddenly spotted a human figure approaching from afar, seemingly also heading towards the city wall.

Anyone else?

"Captain, there's someone over there!"

The guard hanging at the end of the line wanted to check the distance to the monster, but when he turned around, he suddenly saw a human figure in the distance and quickly spoke up.

"Refugees?"

"At a time like this, who cares about refugees!"

"Let's escape from the monster's jaws first!"

The guards didn't look back, only focusing on fleeing.

At that moment, they had no time to care about refugees; just surviving was a blessing.

Only the female captain in the team, upon hearing this, seemed to have thought of something and turned to look behind her. Her tired, dark eyes suddenly brightened a little.

"No, it might be... that magician over there! Please lend us a hand!"

She suddenly raised her voice and shouted for help to the figure in the distance at the top of her lungs.

"team leader?"

"Is he a magician?"

"How could there be anything like that in the wild..."

The team members all shook their heads.

Even the most powerful magicians could only perish in the belly of wild monsters.

None of the magicians they knew would be foolish enough to walk alone in the wild; even magicians would stick together before daring to venture out in the wild.

Magicians may be powerful, but they are still ultimately fragile human beings.

But the next moment, the figure in the distance shattered their decades-long preconceived notions.

Suddenly, the figure accelerated, running at a speed even more terrifying than a speeding train. The figure in their eyes visibly grew from the size of a sesame seed to the size of a red bean.

Before long, it appeared beside them in a gust of wind, as nimble as an incredibly agile cheetah.

"Are you the Tokyo City security force?"

The man slowed down beside them and ran alongside them.

What frightened them was that this person had just run hundreds of meters in a few seconds, yet now appeared calm and composed, without even breaking a sweat.

Is this guy really human?

Is it really not some monster disguised as a human?

"That's right!"

While the other team members were astonished by the opponent's performance, the black-haired female captain suddenly perked up, and her listless expression gradually brightened.

"We are being chased by a monster. Please help us save us!"

"Monster..."

Roy gave a noncommittal hum.

These guys were completely irrelevant to him, and he didn't want to get involved in such matters at all. He wouldn't even bat an eye as he watched them die in the monster's mouth.

"This is a special case, so I'll help you this time."

So saying.

Roy pushed off with his feet, turned around, and shot backward like an arrow.

"Let's go help!"

The girl captain rallied her team members, who seemed to have a high level of prestige. At her command, the team members gritted their teeth and charged towards the monster.

Unfortunately, they didn't get a chance to perform.

Roy covered nearly a kilometer in just a few seconds at an unimaginable speed, arriving in front of the monster.

The monster had noticed him long ago, but initially didn't take him seriously. Then it was startled by his terrifying speed and reacted immediately when it saw him rushing towards it.

Its eight spider-like claws gripped the ground tightly, and with a wriggling motion in its mouth, it ejected a white, viscous sphere nearly the size of a water tank.

The moment the sphere was ejected, it spread out like a spider web, covering Roy.

Roy's face showed no emotion whatsoever. He reached to his waist and a snow-white blade wreathed in jet-black infernal flames appeared in his hand.

With a single slash, the spiderweb was completely destroyed.

The monster showed a human-like expression of utter astonishment, never expecting that its spiderweb, which even magicians couldn't destroy, would be burned away by this person with a single slash.

It realized it might have provoked a monster it shouldn't have, and immediately tried to turn and run away, but then it saw the man take a step forward and a blade flash past like a streak of light.

Immediately afterwards, everything went dark before its eyes, and it lost consciousness.

Chapter 292 The Other Two Sisters (43)

"What a disgusting monster."

Roy stopped in front of this spider-like monster, whose organs were irregularly assembled, completely beyond human imagination and extremely sanity-draining, his face showing undisguised disgust.

"No, this isn't a monster, it's a cursed spirit..."

Roy squinted.

After the monster was severed in one strike, its form gradually dissipated like black smoke.

The most common monsters in the wild are magical beasts, followed by cursed spirits.

Of the corrupted Servants, only Iskandar, the Conqueror, remains, his whereabouts unknown, while demons are few and far between.

While monsters are full of demonic energy, they are not significantly different from existing creatures in general.

Cursed spirits are different. These monsters are born from the dark side of the human heart. Their appearance is not figurative, but rather full of abstract meaning.

Those monsters that seriously challenge human aesthetics are mostly cursed spirits.

Of course, this is how ordinary people identify them. From a magician's perspective, everyone can usually smell the strong scent of curses on the cursed spirits, so they can basically confirm their identity as soon as they see them.

"So strong..."

After waiting for a while, the guards behind him finally arrived, panting heavily.

Even though they were all panting heavily, they still immediately turned their shocked gazes toward Roy, their eyes filled with awe.

Upon closer inspection, the person was spotless and did not look like a refugee at all.

No, this person is not a refugee at all.

Rather, he is a legendary strongman who can traverse the wilderness alone!

They, as members of the escort team, had never seen a big shot like him who dared to traverse the wilderness alone in their entire lives. If we include the legendary mayor who was supposedly very strong but had never made a move, then we could barely count him as someone they had seen.

"Thank you so much for your help, Magician!"

The black-haired girl glanced at the spot where the cursed spirit had stood, now completely empty, and felt a mix of emotions welling up inside her.

This messed up world! I never imagined that besides magicians, there would be such terrifying monster humans.

No, can something like this really still be called human?

What can an ordinary person like her do after being transported to a place like this?
