Not just the guild members but the government forces, the big shots and the three main authority figures all looked extremely confused. None of them had expected this to go down so smoothly without a single hitch.
But this suspicion only lingered on for a second, after which they resumed their arrogant stance. They were the government, after all. It was only logical that they take charge.
The mayor as well resumed his lofty posture and gave out the next order. “Everyone stand guard around that strange thing.” He pointed towards the portal. “I have already informed the higher-ups, and we will soon know what this is and how to shut it down.”
Immediately all the policemen started moving out without any questions, following the guidelines of the Mayor to the T. No one challenged the authority, and everything was finally under control as it should be.
The Mayor cleared his throat loudly, giving a proud, confident smile. The unthinkable had happened, and yet everything was brought under control. “Good. Good.” He muttered under his breath.
However, at this time, the person who was silently standing with his hands cuffed finally opened his mouth. “Are you sure? Do you not need our help?”
“Hmmm?” The mayor’s face twitched as the sarcasm in the voice was way too obvious. The person did not bother to hide it.
“Stay down. Whatever it is, we can manage. We only did not intervene because unruly youngsters like you decided to take matters into your own hands. Otherwise, we would have finished this disturbance a lot faster with even fewer casualties.”
“Do you even think before you act? How do you think you will take responsibility if something disastrous happened? Luckily for you, we were there to provide backup and take care of public safety. Hmph.”
The mayor wasn’t done yet as he continued to berate Liam as if he was hellbent on making it clear who was in charge here. However, just as he opened his mouth again before any words could come out, something behind him sizzled.
It was the portal. It sizzled and crackled as something else started coming out. It was big. It was huge.
Just its leg was the size of a human being! Its torso was thick like a car, and it was definitely a beast as it was covered with black fur from top to bottom.
Everyone’s face paled. They watched the scene in terror as right in front of their eyes, a giant-sized gorilla stepped out of the gate in its entirety.
“Arghhhhh!” The policeman closest to the gorilla screamed in fear and shock. His blood-curdling cry attracted everyone’s attention, but when they turned to look at him, the man was already missing. The thick tree trunk-like fur-covered leg was present in his place.
However, this leg had blood splotches at the bottom. As everyone’s gaze shifted to these blood splotches, they could clearly see the man crushed into a meat pulp by the giant gorilla.
OOOO! OOOO! OOO!
The beast let out a terrifying roar, waking up the whole community, who had only just now relaxed a little and retreated back to their homes to get some sleep. Apparently, their hell was not yet over!
“Oh! My bad, I forgot to mention that the beast wave was not yet over.” Liam sneered. He had indeed forgotten to mention a crucial piece of information. At the end of the wave, there was always a boss monster!
His mocking words, however, were drowned in the chaos and commotion that followed.
“SHOOT THAT THING!” Someone shouted.
The mayor was standing dumbfounded, not knowing what to do. He had just now given a long lecture about how everything was under their control, but all he could see at the moment was the giant beast. plete chaos.
Everyone saw that their guns were useless against this giant monstrosity, so they started to turn tail and run helter-skelter before death arrived, knocking at their doorstep.
The mayor, the police chief and the deputy chief was no better. They were also running away, along with all the big shots and their bodyguards.
In the midst of this mayhem, the mayor stumbled and fell down, coincidentally right in front of Liam. “Why are you standing still? Go and do something!” He shouted in anger and panic.
