The impact of the impact brought with it a great pain.

It was as if my soul had been shattered, and my consciousness had become unconscious.

After breaking through the boundaries of my body once, my soul felt as if it had hit something, and it was squeezed, little by little, out of that object. The soul itself has changed, something grows out of the body and pierces the skin.

I should have no skin now, only pure soul left. But the tingling, tearing sensation was so clear.

When I came back to my senses and all the pain was gone, a feeling of exhilaration, filled my consciousness.

Something was liberated.

But then came an instinct that made me shudder.

I want to destroy, I want to kill...... It was as if there was a voice constantly echoing in my head, ordering me to do something.

Boom!

Heavy sound, I don't know what heavy object landed.

It's not a bag of rice, a bucket of oil, not even a body. Something heavier...... Lions, elephants, dinosaurs...... I can't tell.

The ground seemed to shake.

I also heard screams.

Screams of fear, hoarse cries, and terrified roars from the bewildered.

Something hit the body, it didn't hurt or itch, there was only a feeling of being touched.

I finally opened my eyes and saw the sky close at hand.

The sky above the city was gray. It should be a bad day, with haze and dark clouds...... Or something.

The tops of the skyscrapers are like the tips of giant swords, piercing the sky.

Above the clouds, there seemed to be lightning flashing, and then it disappeared immediately.

If there is no sun, there is no sun. The whole world is cloudy, and it is not known exactly where the light source is.

Suddenly, I could tell that it was not clouds, haze, or fog that were covering the sky, but the yin energy of ghosts.

The yin qi that filled the whole world almost turned into another kind of canopy, making people lose sight of the light of day.

Where is this?

I was stunned.

The huge head is lowered.

Just one action, the wind pressure brought up, pressed the tiny human under the feet to the ground, unable to move.

Out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of the skyscraper next to me. On the glass curtain wall, there is the hideous figure of a monster.

One-horned, scaly, on all fours, with a soft belly covered with long hair. The monster's face was like a horse, and it was like a dragon.

Kirin!

The term popped into my head.

A legendary beast.

But this monster is a little different from the legendary unicorn. Its quadrupeds are not hooves, but fleshy paws similar to those of felines. Its eyes are also strange, like the eyes of a fish, without eyelids.

But who knows what a real unicorn looks like?

No, that's not what I'm supposed to be thinking about right now.

How did this monster appear? Where is this again?

I remembered that I was looking at Aoba's file and saw that the temple had taken out the scales of the unicorn. I entered the dream because of this, and I dreamed of the unicorn?

I found it unbelievable.

It's really a unicorn, how can it be in a modern city?

The crowd fleeing for their lives is like ants, too small for the unicorn.

White breath erupted from the unicorn's nose.

I felt a layer of red on my retina. That desire to kill came back and overshadowed reason.

The Kirin began to run. Every step caused the earth to shake. The skyscrapers around are shaking.

The people on the ground were trampled into the concrete floor by the meat pads, and became one inconspicuous pit after another.

Waving claws tore through the glass façade of the skyscraper.

In an instant, collapsed houses were reduced to rubble, burying more people underneath.

I heard the monster roar.

On the ground, the screams of those people were drowned out. It seemed that only this long roar was left between heaven and earth.

Angry, restless, bloodthirsty...... All kinds of negative emotions washed over my consciousness over and over again.

This monster just wants to destroy.

In its head, the whispering voice was repeating, urging it to keep killing.

What's going on?

What the hell is ......

The monster's movements suddenly stopped, and it shook its head and looked behind it.

Behind it is a corner of the city it has just destroyed.

Suddenly, I realized that this monster probably appeared out of thin air.

The ruins of the city stretched out from the soles of the monster's feet, to where my dream began.

Elsewhere, there were also screams, but they were not destroyed.

A monster falling from the sky?

No, it's not like that.

In the yin qi that filled the world, I saw a little bit of yin qi that was different from the eyes of the monster.

It was a ghost.

He stood at the beginning of the monster, looking down at something, and leaned down, reaching out to grab something.

Collapsed roads and buildings block the view of monsters.

But I felt the wrath of the monster.

It roared again.

The ghost looked up.

That face—

I was so startled that before I could react, the monster had spread its limbs and ran towards the ghost.

The ghost picked up something on the ground and quickly retreated.

The chase of these two inhuman things in the modern city will lead to a catastrophe!

Roads collapsed, houses were destroyed, and countless people died. I can't catch it with my eyes or ears.

But such a scene makes me a little inexplicably familiar.

When and where have I seen something like this...... More than once......

It's not movies, it's TV, it's like seeing such real scenes with my own eyes.

I didn't have time to rummage through my memories because the monster was already in a pounce to catch the ghost.

The distance between the two things was reduced to within ten meters.

I could see the ghost's face and what he was holding onto.

In a blink of an eye, yin qi gushed out from the ghost's body.

A massive amount of yin qi condensed in front of him with a whistling sound that broke through the air. The three-headed, six-armed giant appeared out of thin air, blocked in front of the monster, and collided with the monster's unicorn.

Defeat with one blow.

The yin qi dissipated, and the ghost was gone.

The monster angrily circled in place, looking for traces of the ghost.

Its claws gouged into the ground, dug up pipes underground, and dug out a subway that passed through it.

Such a city should be regarded as a first- and second-tier city.

There are people who have evacuated inside the subway. None of them were spared.

The monster wasn't targeting them, but it crushed them into powder in the process.

It roared through the city and searched for the ghost.

The entire city was almost flattened.

To my surprise, no one came to stop it.

There is no army, there is no armed force.

It seems like it's just an empty shell of a city.

There were some vehicles speeding on the road, all fleeing out of the city. There are some lights in the city, but they are not brightly lit.

The city is very eerie. There are modern cities everywhere, with a large population, but there is no breath of life.

From another point of view, the people here seem to have anticipated the monster that is about to appear out of thin air, and they have begun to evacuate first.

Or maybe it's just a transit point in itself......

The monster's movements suddenly stopped.

It's sharper than I am.

One turned, and it pounced in the other direction.

The yin energy belonging to the ghost flashed away.

The city was completely destroyed. But I still recognized the location with some ruins as coordinates.

That's where the monster appears.

The ghost was carrying something, and it reappeared there.

The monster pounced, its front paws falling hard.

The ground was dusty, but it was empty again.

Wait a minute!

I suddenly felt something.

The monster felt it too, roaring and spinning in place, its claws digging down.

A large pit was dug into the ground.

The city became quiet at some point, and only monsters were left digging holes here.

As the monster moved, the air around it began to change.

The monster roared again.

The claws fell, not into the hard, or soft rocky soil, but as if they were poking beneath the surface of the water.

It slammed hard, tearing open the claw.

At the same time, some sharp object grazed its claws.

It let out a deafening cry of pain and subconsciously withdrew its claws.

On that claw, a small scale disappeared, leaving a small wound.

Under the claws, ripples rippled in the ground.

I felt a tremendous pull from it, my soul was pulled again, and I felt that tearing pain.
