The Spirit Rank aberration appeared in East Sixth District and is now speeding underground toward East Fifth District. No one knows what it looks like yet. But judging by the violent tremors shaking the surface, it doesn’t take much thought to realize this is another colossal creature.

Silver Frost is located in the central region of the Dragon Kingdom, where aberrations are more likely to appear across a wide area. Human Rank and Ghost Rank aberrations often pop up and cause trouble. Nether Rank and higher aberrations, on the other hand, have always been rare. What shocked everyone now was that two Spirit Rank aberrations had appeared just days apart.

A few days ago, an aberration was dealt with by a Mysterious Person before it could even enter Silver Frost City. They’d been lucky; it hadn’t caused any major damage. But this time was different. The aberration had appeared right in the city and was heading toward the center. For now, it was still underground, and all it had caused was panic. No one dared speculate what might happen once it burst out of the ground.

Every street in the city had emergency alert sirens. The civilians in East Fifth District received the warning soon after and scattered in every direction. They stumbled and jostled against one another. The scene descended into utter chaos.

As civilians in East Fifth District evacuated to safety, those in East Fourth District were also on the move, evacuated in a more orderly fashion.

The underground aberration kept moving forward, and the tremors grew stronger and stronger. That meant the creature was getting closer to the surface.

Slowly, pebbles on the surface began to bounce. Then cracks appeared in the road, spreading at great speed. As they stretched farther, they grew wider and wider.

At that moment, the cracks began to spread more slowly. But although their advance had slowed, they widened rapidly in a very short time.

Just then, a monster covered in black scales emerged from the crack.

The scales weren’t limited to its head. They covered its entire body, and their thickness was obvious to the naked eye.

Its head emerged, bearing a pair of blood-red eyes and a row of long fangs. The rest of its body soon came into view. Amid tremendous tremors and a thunderous roar, the aberration finally revealed its full form, supported by a pair of sturdy legs.

It was enormous, standing about thirty meters tall, with a powerful build and thick scales. Most striking of all were the sharp claws, two or three meters long, embedded in its limbs.

The aberration could move at high speed underground thanks entirely to those claws.

If Lin Xinyan and Shi Ji had been there, they would’ve immediately recognized this Spirit Rank aberration as extremely similar to the Ge Sila they’d encountered before. Apart from being larger, with longer, sharper claws and a more ferocious appearance, it was almost exactly the same in every other way. It looked like a lizard.

Once it had fully emerged from underground, the aberration lifted its head and let out a roar.

Roar!!!

Its enormous shriek rang out in every direction, echoing through the sky. It seemed to be building up its own presence, as if announcing its arrival to humanity.

As soon as the roar ended, a red glow appeared in the aberration’s mouth. It gathered energy for a moment, then opened its jaws and unleashed a powerful beam of light.

Rumble!!!

The red beam blazed with heat. Even from far away, people could feel its scorching temperature. As it fired, a blast of wind swept through the area. Before the attack even arrived, the gale had already toppled some old buildings. Then the fiery beam struck. In the blink of an eye, everything before them lay in ruins. Flames raged, turning the area into a sea of fire.

The aberration showed no sign of stopping. Its first attack seemed like nothing more than an appetizer. The second was clearly much stronger. It charged up for longer, then slowly turned as it unleashed its power. By the time it had turned full circle, everything around it had been utterly wrecked. The peaceful scene from before was gone without a trace.
