Survival Records Of 3650 Days In The Otherworld Chapter 248 - Fight for survival (2)

Khalodian Mountain was in chaos as all kinds of movements and sounds filled the area. It was made by the Magnos Siege Team. With the help of machines that Joonb.u.m provided, they were now creating more walls and traps to fight the monsters. Also, Durans and various Krakuns had been brought in to help with the construction.

“Traps should be deeper!”

“Stop talking and move!”

However, they weren’t the only noise source. In between the newly set traps, the number of monsters coming through the Gate had increased even more. They were now trying hard to fight across the traps.

“Dammit.”

“It’s sickening.”

The monsters were even more vicious and were adapting to the hostile environment with no problems.

“They eat their own like it’s nothing.”

“They survive by eating their corpses…”

The Ainos sighed in shock. Joonb.u.m had warned them of such an event for a long time but most Ainos had just considered it a slight possibility.

“We should’ve been better prepared.”

“But with the Magnos helping, it has gotten much better.”

“Yeah, those catapults are great.”

About thirty catapults fired boulders into the skies, showering the Gate area. The heads and bones of the monsters were crushed. With the arrival of the Magnos, new traps and walls were built.

“They don’t stand a chance!”

Everyone turned to the monsters. It had been terrifying when the monsters first came through the Gate. But now, they were dead on the ground with giant eight-foot stakes jutting out from their bodies.

“Magnos steel is so powerful.”

“Yeah, it’s supposed to kill Krakuns.”

With the help of the Magnos, the situation was overturned and it was much easier to deal with.

“It’s beyond imagination.”

“What did I say?”

Doral nodded at Joonb.u.m’s comment. At that moment, a Magnos catapult launched a huge jar with a long cloth attached to it. The cloth was lit with fire just before it was released.

As the jar fell and broke open, it seemed like the fires of h.e.l.l had broken loose. Monsters screamed in pain and agony as the fire spread all over them.

“It’s terrible.”

“Yes, but we have to do it.”

“Right.”

Doral nodded at Joonb.u.m’s words and watchdd. The fire burned all the monsters alive and a terrible stench filled the area.

“I hope it ends here,” Doral said. Joonb.u.m also wished for that, but he instantly frowned as more monsters began running out from the Gate. The area was filled with fire, but the monsters did not hesitate to jump out and began writhing in agony as the fire burned them alive.

“More incoming!”

“They are mad!”

It was as if they were moths flying into a fire.

“They’re being chased!” Doral shouted. It instantly resolved everyone’s question. The only reason why the monsters were running out of the Gate even with the fire was because they were being chased.

‘Who is chasing them?’

Those monsters were powerful beings. Joonb.u.m could not believe there would be a being that could drive away such powerful monsters.

“F-Fire…”

“It’s been put out!”

As more monsters jumped out, the fire eventually lost and was put out.

The Ainos and the Magnos renewed their attacks with arrows and catapults, but the number of monsters was endless.

“Sir, all the people have successfully evacuated to the Magnos fortress. They will then move to Khalodian Capital as soon as it’s ready. We have a message that Sir Jackson has entered the mountain with a million troops. Also, it seems the monsters like the Keroxes are behaving erratically.”

Doral asked back, “Erratic?”

“Yes, sir. The monsters are forming groups. Even the ones that normally only form groups in winter are grouping up now.”

“That would make it hard to feed themselves.”

Doral mused but he could not think of a reason.

“Do they sense this situation too?”

Doral wondered. Maybe the native monsters in the mountain were feeling an imminent threat.
