Just as he was about to approach the site of the chaos, a large patch of sand suddenly gushed towards the sky like a geothermal fountain. At the same time, a huge black beast suddenly jumped up.
Peter jumped back in time and ran to the top of a black stone behind him.
He raised his palm to block the incoming sandstorm and observed the situation through the gap in his fingers. However, the sandstorm was too thick. Even with his outstanding vision, he could only see a faint black shadow.
Peter could only ask Donna, who was behind him, loudly.
“Donna, can you see what that is?”
“I can’t see clearly. The sandstorm is too strong.”
.
At this moment, if they wanted to figure out what the black shadow was, they could only enter the range of the black shadow.
As Peter prepared to activate 50 times more rage, he cautiously walked through the rows of tilted and collapsed boulders.
Suddenly, a row of huge black spears stabbed down. Peter agilely dodged and the row of spears stabbed diagonally into the ground. At the moment they stabbed into the ground, they dug up a patch of sand.
Peter looked in the direction of the black shadow again and vaguely saw the figure of a huge black beast in the sand. It looked a little like a giant tortoise. He had seen this huge mutated creature on the island before. At that time, he had extracted the genes of the mutated black tortoise and obtained enhancement in his physique.
Sand whistled by his ear. The dense sand was like countless blades sliding across his body. Meanwhile, the fine sand was blown by the wind, like a swarm of locusts covering the sky.
Just as Peter approached the black figure, a sand screen rose behind the black figure, and the huge black figure instantly disappeared underground.
Peter waved his fist and punched in the direction of the black shadow. Then, he jumped continuously and turned around to look at the pit that had been dug out of the sand in front of him. After that, he asked Donna, who was beside him.
“Did you see what it was this time?”
Donna shook her head.
“Although I didn’t see it clearly, from the sound it produced, it should be a mecha.”
“What kind of mecha is so big?”
To Peter’s knowledge, the smart mechas of the Holy War Organization were already huge. Thus, he didn’t know what kind of mecha would be as huge as the one in front of him.
At this moment, the black rocks in the distance poured down again. As the black rocks fell, huge black beasts continuously broke out of the ground and disappeared into the ruins.
Donna saw the direction where the black shadow disappeared and quickly told the God of War Peter.
“It went into the town.”
“Let’s go.”
Peter didn’t say anything and quickly approached Donna. Then, Donna let out a surprised cry as he picked her up and ran towards the town.
At this moment, Cinthya had already gathered all the people in the town who could fight. As she faced the fallen stone walls in front of her, she ordered the Genetic Warriors to use the giant trees that she had created in the town. The roots of these giant trees quickly intertwined with each other and formed a natural shield for the Genetic Warriors.
Soon, these trees began to shake violently from underground. However, even though the shaking of the trees grew stronger and stronger, the complicated roots in the soil firmly stabilized them and kept them standing on the periphery of the city wall.
At this moment, a few giant black beasts suddenly broke out of the ground behind the trees. As the sand rose, those large beasts agilely coiled around the tree trunks. The moment they climbed to the top of the trees, they immediately jumped up.
“Prepare for battle.”
Cinthya ordered as she placed her hands on the ground. As she chanted, rune formations appeared under her feet one after another, extending along the streets.
If Peter and the others were here, they would definitely be surprised by her magical skill. It turned out that Cinthya was actually a very rare Runemaster.
As the other Mecha Warriors strengthened the rune formation with their chants, the runes in the circular arrays glowed silver.
In the light, metal elements from the soil and rocks rapidly gathered on the ground below the rune formations. In the blink of an eye, the streets and houses reflected the light from the sparks, making this abandoned town seem like a steel city.
At this moment, the black shadow in the distance had already passed through the giant tree. The moment it landed on the ground, there was a metallic sound.
A mucus-like liquid shot through the sandstorm from a distance. Then, the mucus was blown deeper into the town by the wind. The moment the mucus-stained sand settled, it was like a giant’s whip that struck the houses and the streets, producing a dull sound.
“What is that?”
Someone cried out in horror.
Just as this person finished speaking, clusters of red shadows appeared in the sand in front of them again. In the blink of an eye, fireballs were shot out from the red shadows. The moment they landed, they exploded into flames. The flames intertwined and surged in the explosive shock wave, burning the colloid mucus that had just landed.
In an instant, a sea of fire had spread through the town.
Cinthya looked at the panicked people around her and spoke loudly as she continued to transform the runes in the rune formation. The function of the runes was to mobilize the various elements in the surrounding air and use the combination of elements to create a protective layer that could last for a certain period of time.
However, the attacks of the giant beasts in front of them did not stop. Wave after wave of colloid mucus and fireballs shot over. The fire even passed through the water giant, and some fireballs even hit the water giant. Under the impact of the fireballs, the giants exploded into water that filled the sky. Their bodies also constantly disintegrated as they boiled.
“Genetic Warriors, evacuate.”
Cinthya wanted the Genetic Warriors with weak defenses to leave this place for the time being. She wanted the Mecha Warriors to withstand the attacks of the black shadows first.
Those Mecha Warriors also understood that this was a critical moment. Furthermore, if they escaped this place, they would quickly be hit by the grenades. Thus, they might as well guard this place and have a chance of survival.
Another reason was because of Cinthya. This Runemaster had already begun to chant an incantation loudly. As she chanted the incantation, the rune tattoo flashed with an icy blue light. In the blink of an eye, the giants in the rune formation stood together under Cinthya’s control.
At this moment, the Genetic Warriors escaped from the town. After all, they understood that this kind of battle was not something they could participate in. This was a thought that many Genetic Warriors who lived in the wilderness had.
“We can’t last long like this.”
Someone shouted.
“Lord Cinthya, these giant beasts are too powerful. Let’s retreat.”
“No one can take the abandoned town from me. I’ll kill whoever dares to say that they want to escape from this place again.”
At the same time, Peter had returned to the entrance of the town with Donna. They passed the giant trees summoned by the rune formations.
“Since when did these giant trees appear?”
Peter looked curiously at the few giant trees that had appeared in the town.
However, this was not the time for Peter to be curious. He suddenly became vigilant, because he was the target of a fireball attack.
Peter looked at the huge black beasts in front of him from the light of the fire. Then, he activated the Thunder God genes in his body and charged at the shadow in front of him.
