292 Chapter 292 Crimson

The black figure flapped its wings and jumped away from the red hands.

Apparently, it did not want to get close to any of the hands.

The governor put his spear to the side.

He would capture the Specter alive and interrogate it!

CRACK!

Time seemed to stand still.

Everyone looked with shock at one of the red hands that had suddenly exploded forward to grab the black Specter!

The governor immediately took out his spear again and struck forward.

WHOOOOM!

The thousands of red hands were severed, including the one that held the black Specter.

But then, the red hands turned into red liquid.

The red liquid encompassed the red-haired man, Kallum, and the black Specter.

And they dissolved.

"HAHAHAHAHA!"

The laughter of the Crimson Sea seemed to become louder and brighter.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

And even louder.

"HAHAHAHAHA-"

And then, it suddenly stopped.

Silence.

A moment later, all the hands seemed to collapse and fall into the sea.

The faces in the Crimson Sea vanished.

The Crimson Sea stopped moving.

Right now, it just looked like a smooth sheet of red metal below the city.

A moment of silence passed.

And then, everything below the city seemed to turn red.

Eyes!

Millions of eyes opened on the surface of the Crimson Sea!

In silence, the Crimson Sea was staring at Crimson Fungus City.

The governor realized with horror what had happened.

The Crimson Sea had advanced again!

It was now a Fanatic!

"Hahaha!"

Suddenly, somebody laughed, but it was not the Crimson Sea.

A man had suddenly jumped off the edge of the Outer City!

He was the one who was laughing!

"Hahaha!"

"Hahaha!"

"Hahaha!"

More and more people started to laugh as they jumped off the edges of the city, right towards the Crimson Sea.

A mere moment later, over 200 people were falling towards the Crimson Sea.

"Catch them!" the governor shouted.

The governor and the other Heroes quickly grabbed as many people as they could, but they could only hold so many people at once.

On top of that, they couldn't accelerate or decelerate quickly since the g-forces would kill the people.

In the end, the majority of people landed in the Crimson Sea.

Every person perfectly landed in the middle of one of the eyes.

"It has the ability to control minds now! Do not look into the eyes!" Aria Light shouted at the people of the city.

Everyone who thought about looking at the Crimson Sea immediately recoiled in horror.

They didn't dare to look at what was going on beneath them anymore.

Suddenly, the millions of eyes gathered together into 100 huge eyes, every eye nearly a hundred meters wide.

Luckily, none of the normal people were watching anymore, and the power of the Crimson Sea didn't seem to work without eye contact.

"Hahaha!"

The governor felt the hair on his neck stand up as he heard laughter from close by.

Then, he watched four Experts jumping towards the Crimson Sea!

For a moment, the governor couldn't believe what he was seeing.

The Crimson Sea could even manipulate Experts?!

Luckily, Experts were not as fragile as normal people, and the governor could intercept the three of them easily.

"No one is allowed to look at the red sea! That includes all guards!" the governor shouted solemnly.

Everyone immediately turned away.

Meanwhile, the Heroes gathered beside the governor.

All five of them were hovering between the city and the Crimson Sea.

Luckily, as Heroes, they were far more powerful than the Crimson Sea.

After about five seconds of silence, the eyes gathered again.

Now, there were five eyes left.

And the five eyes all focused on the five people hovering above them.

Silence.

For several seconds, the Heroes and the Crimson Sea just looked at each other.

Even though the Heroes had met many Specters in their lives, this one was definitely one of the scariest.

The way the eyes were staring at them made them think that the Crimson Sea was sentient.

Yet, they were certain that it wasn't.

This was all just instinct.

The five of them were the only beings the eyes could see, which was why they only looked at them.

Luckily, they were far stronger than the Crimson Sea.

Its ability had no effect on them.

But then, the five eyes gathered again.

And in the end, only one enormous eye was left.

The eye covered almost the entire Crimson Sea, and the pupil almost perfectly encompassed the round shape of Crimson Fungus City's foundation.

When looking at everything from above, one would see Crimson Fungus City stabbing out of the middle of the humongous eye.

Silence.

The arms and the laughing faces had vanished, but the red mist was still coming out of the Crimson Sea.

The red mist was slowly rising from around the city.

From far away, it looked like a wavy pillar of red.

From inside the city, it looked like a wall of red smoke.

The entire Dregs had collapsed.

Over half of the Outer City had collapsed.

Only about a kilometer of Outer City stretched out from around the Inner City before breaking off into a domain of red smoke.

The domain of red smoke was almost two kilometers wide and encompassed the domain outside the new Outer City.

For now, nobody could access the outer world from the city and vice versa.

The singular eye just silently and motionlessly stared at the city above it.

The sewers were gone.

The underground was gone.

Instead of black water in a dark and disgusting place, there was now a silent and motionless red eye.

The underside of the city was illuminated in an ominous crimson glow.

Looking below the floor was forbidden now.

Anyone who dared to poke a hole into the ground to look would die.

Even though the governor had saved many people from their jumps into the Crimson Sea, they would never return to their normal selves.

They continued laughing.

They didn't even stop to inhale.

The laughing only stopped when they died of asphyxiation.
