It escalated quickly.
The street that had once remained quiet, despite the chaos spreading across the entire world, was now filled with animalistic growls and roars, mixed with the guttural screams of teenagers as they were gradually torn apart.
All the teenagers who had joined the group, including the naked one they had rescued from the giant goblin.
Every single one of them had been devoured.
The street was littered with pools of blood and heaps of corpses, a strong and pungent odour spreading through the air and clinging to the walls.
Yet despite the destruction, the monster horde was still unending.
The three friends fought with everything they had. Their only mercy came from the level ups they gained during combat, brief bursts of strength and stamina that barely kept them standing before being quickly exhausted once again.
Ashton's aether reserves had long since been depleted.
