Chapter 476: The Chaotic Days

A few days later:

POV ???:

In the haunting glow of the red sky, an imposing wall stretched in a circle, surrounding a large city. The heavens bore an eerie luminescent hue, crimson-tinted with deep maroons and fiery oranges as if the sky was bleeding. The night air carried an intense aroma of death and blood.

Crystalline creatures prowled on the snow-covered fields outside, their crystal-covered bodies shimmering under the red moonlight as they refracted the light into the glittering snow beneath them.

They swarmed, moving with a cacophony of scratching and clicking, creating a discordant symphony that echoed ominously in the still night.

The sentries on the walls shivered under the glowing moon-like eyes of the monsters, who seemed to watch each of their movements as if waiting for them to slip on the ice-covered parapets and fall to their awaiting crystal-laden maws.
