Chapter 313.
Another city. Another continent.
Crowds gathered near the gate, trembling. Breath snagged in their throats. Some stumbled backward, some collapsed to their knees outright, hands shaking as if the air itself had become poison.
Because in front of their city stood something no sane person ever wanted to see.
Space twisted like it was melting. The ground felt wrong underfoot. The temperature dipped and spiked as if the world had caught a fever. And at the center of it all, pulsing with a pale, sickly glow, was a portal.
Not blue.
Not green.
Not yellow.
Red.
A red portal. The nightmare of every continent. The kind that didn't wait weeks or days. The kind that broke fast and killed faster.
Two days had already passed since it appeared. Which meant the chances of it breaking now were sky high.
If it did, the number of dead would be beyond counting. And this city… this city was filled with mundanes and low rankers. They had no chance. No power. No time.
