Chapter 89 Monster

Embedded in the wall was a huge gate, about 20 meters high and 10 meters wide.
In front of the gate was a large half-height parapet that formed an arc around the gate.
Qizi noticed there were many large black stains on the gate and the surrounding land, resembling mud or dried blood.
There were various marks on the doorways and bunkers beside the gate, including claw marks, knife marks, and blunt object impacts.
At this moment, Miruku and Walde were standing by the door, directing the crowd. They seemed to be trying to open the gate.
Lucia was fully armored and stood with her own group of followers not far away, watching.
Walden walked to a spot very close to the door, waving his wand, and the glowing patterns on the door responded, causing two huge winches to rise up in the empty spaces on either side of the door.
Milk directed some of his men to turn the winch, while the others stood by the gate, holding their weapons tightly and preparing for defense behind cover.
As the winches on both sides slowly turned, the massive gate slowly rose with a creaking sound. The gate still had a large section underground, and it was only after rising about a meter that a gap appeared at ground level.

From the crack that was just opened, a large amount of black smoke emerged.
The group of people standing at the door quickly put on specially-made masks.
Suddenly, a tearing howl came from behind the door, quickly overpowering the sound of the chains lifting the gate.

And extending from the smoke were a line of various claws and tentacles, all coated in a black, sticky substance.
It suddenly dawned on Chiz what had caused the various marks around the door.
Those eerie limbs had just stretched out when Milke waved a hand, signaling some of the knights in the queue to step forward.
Then, these strange limbs were all cut off by the weapons already prepared by the knights, spewing out more black viscous substance from the severed wounds.
The limbs of the monsters that were hacked off kept wriggling on the ground for a long time before finally ceasing and melting into a stinky, muddy puddle that emitted black smoke, like chocolate.
The smell quickly spread through the air, and even Kizzy standing far away from the station could smell that putrid stench. It was an indescribable odor, like a decaying corpse soaking in a dry toilet for a month and then being mashed up and mixed with the muck in a swamp.
随着门缝越来越大，更多的触手和爪子伸了出来，甚至一些怪物已经可以伸出它们的脑袋。
但无一例外的被守在门边的人一一斩碎。
As the gate was only raised to a height just over half a person, Wald ordered the people at the gate to back off and stop raising the gate any further.
Milke: "Get ready! The first wave of attack is coming! Hold your weapons tight and kill these scum people!"
"Yes! Captain!" the group shouted in unison.
Waldo also returned from the door and jumped onto a cover, waving his wand to shatter a dark figure that was about to rush out from the door. He shouted at the group, "Our mission this morning is to dash through this gate and establish a stable defense line behind it."
米尔克也跳上了掩体，高声的喊道，“小伙子们！打起精神来！
就像你们前两天做的那样，将它们砍成碎片就行。昨天你们也冲进去看过了，对不对？
"There's nothing to be afraid of on the other side of the door! Don't let the newcomers look down on you. Show them your strength and prove that you are the strongest."
"Hah! Ahh!" A group of people brandished their weapons and pounded on their armor, all becoming filled with hot blood.
Just now, those people standing by the door quickly retreated to the defensive line, followed by several of those monsters.
Qizi also came to Blanc's side at this time, and saw the true appearance of these monsters. They were exactly the same as Blanc had described to him a few days ago.
Only the few monsters that just rushed out of the gate have different shapes, some of which are humanoid, some are beast-like, and there is also a large stitched monster.
The only common factor is that their bodies flow not with blood, but with a strongly polluting black sludge that is spraying out from the severed limbs, spreading everywhere as they move.
The foul odor became even stronger once they fully emerged.
"Pay attention! You only have until this morning to see how they deal with these monsters!"
Blanca shouted to his men beside him.
"Yes, captain!"
"Blanca! Don't we need to help them?" Kiz asked, noticing that Blanca had no intention of commanding his men to go and assist.
“It is not yet the time for us to take action, they can handle it. Wait until the stone tablet arrives, make the oath to attract the attention of the heroic spirits, and then it will be the moment for us to fulfill our agreement.”
"So why didn't they wait for us to go together?"
"Our tasks are different. I guess they have already made an oath in front of the stone monument a few days ago. Their task should be to guard the door and block the monsters completely on the other side of the door."
"What about our mission?"
"We need to enter the secret realm and try to eliminate some scattered monsters, not allowing them to gather in large numbers at a barrier, and we also need to investigate the current situation inside the secret realm."

"So they want to establish a sturdy defense line at the door, in order for us to enter smoothly, right?"
"Yes! Of course, it also facilitates our future supplies and rest, after all, we don't know the specific situation over there now. It's possible that even the food and water sources have been completely contaminated."

Just as Chiz and Blanca were exchanging a few words, the monsters that had just rushed out were cut into pieces by several people jumping out from behind the U-shaped barrier.
He saw that the attack methods of these people were very special, first chopping off the limbs that the monsters used to attack, and then cutting them into segments.
After all the fragments were cut off, they were still active, but a portion of the fragments were particularly violent, and even the black liquid on these limbs could be seen wriggling constantly, as if wanting to grow new limbs.
Those people will choose the part of the monster that moves most violently after being cut off to continue attacking.
They will continue to attack until those parts lose their ability to move violently, or a black crystal burst out.
After completely shattering the black crystal, the whole monster immediately turned into a puddle of black mud.
After the first wave of these monsters was eliminated, there were sporadic sounds coming from the door, which were getting closer and louder.
More Black Sludge Creatures have discovered the commotion and are charging towards this direction.
