?285 Chapter 285 – The Red Sea

The Grey Room charged into the room by crawling along the wall.

The Agonizing Wait threw itself in as well.

"What?!"

Nick heard a shocked shout coming from inside the room.

Nick immediately turned into black smoke and joined the other black smoke in the surroundings.

For the first time in a while, Nick's ability activated again.

As he slithered across the walls, he heard the sound of things crashing.

DING!

Nick's eyes narrowed when he saw a green flash.

In an instant, Nick turned corporeal and jumped forward with all of his power.

BANG!

Nick's metallic nails hit John Keyweather's green Barrier, and another green flash appeared.

Meanwhile, a middle-aged man with black hair looked with terror at the black figure that had just appeared in his sight.

He had just lost over 40% of his Zephyx with that attack!

Even more, the appearance of this black figure was terrifying!

It was like it was some kind of servant of death itself, and the black nails were extremely frightening and powerful!

Was this a Specter?!

SHING!

A white shield manifested in John's left arm, and he moved it toward the black figure with all of his power.

Yet, just before he hit the black figure, it seemed to disappear like smoke!

DING!

John's Barrier activated again, and he saw the Grey Room attacking it from above again.

'How the fuck did those two break out?! What is that third Specter?!' John thought in frustration, rage, and terror.

John jumped to the side and used his shield to slap the Grey Room to the side.

The Grey Room was one of their most important Specters, and even though it was attacking him right now, he didn't want to kill it.

Then, John saw a hand clawing at his Barrier, which activated again.

BANG!

John kicked the Agonizing Wait to the side.

BOOOOOM!

The black figure appeared again, its black nails brutally tearing at his Barrier.

John's face turned white as he felt himself running low on Zephyx.

'I have to flee!'

John attacked the figure with his spear, but the figure just vanished again.

Then, he turned to his right and punched the wall.

BOOOOOM!

The wall exploded, and the hallway was covered with pieces of metal and steel!

Then, John immediately ran out.

He left the smoke cloud and saw the Agonizing Wait and the Grey Room running down the hallway in front of him.

'They're running away?!' John thought in shock.

Why were they running away?!

BANG!

John's green Barrier appeared again, but the next moment, it broke into pieces under his shocked gaze.

He couldn't see it, but right now, a black figure was behind him, and it had just left the black cloud of smoke behind them.

The black figure's nails stretched towards John's head.

And then, they engulfed it.

CRKSH!

The nails dug into John's eyes, crushing them.

Then, the nails rammed into his brain and violently moved around.

The nails tore out by tearing the socket apart before finally burying into John's head with one final attack.

John was dead.

The CEO of the Spartans had died.

At this moment, two people ran out of an office in front of John.

They were the two other founding members of the Spartans, and what they saw terrified them to the core.

A completely black figure with terrifying nails was on top of their friend!

The figure's head turned forward, and for just an instant, time seemed to stand still as the two sides looked at each other.

CRKSH!

Then, the black figure violently pulled the corpse back into the black cloud.

"JOHN!" Kallum shouted as he and his friend charged into the cloud of smoke.

Kallum quickly found John's corpse inside the black cloud and looked at it.

Since John's head had faced the ground earlier, Kallum hadn't seen the true extent of the damage.

When Kallum saw the ravaged head of his friend, he felt like the world was ending.

This was his friend!

They had been best friends for decades!

The next moment, a terrifyingly loud alarm echoed throughout the building.

The third founder had activated the alarm as he searched through the black cloud for the black figure.

More and more people came out of the rooms at the side.

Suddenly, a second alarm joined the first alarm.

When Kallum and his friend heard that alarm, their eyes widened in horror.

No!

This was the alarm of the Containment Unit suppressing the Crimson Sea malfunctioning!

Moments later, the walls of a certain Containment Unit started to bleed, and the blood rapidly covered the floor around the Containment Unit.

The people in the hallways looked with shock as a wave of blood gathered in the hallway before thundering towards them.

Everyone started to flee in horror, but the wave still caught many of them.

As soon as they were touched by the wave, they started to smoke.

This was acid!

The normal people dissolved within ten seconds, while the others took much longer to dissolve.

The Peak Johns managed to run away from the water, but the Newbies weren't as lucky.

More and more red water filled the hallways.

BOOOOM!

Eventually, the two entrances of the building exploded outward as they couldn't resist the pressure of the red water.

In the Inner and Outer Cities, the bystanders looked with shock at the entrances.

And then, they also got engulfed by the red water.

There was more and more red water!

It just didn't stop!

The guards quickly noticed and rang the city's emergency alert.

Meanwhile, a black figure thundered through a door before closing the door behind it.

"No corpses?" the rat asked, but before it could finish asking, Nick already jumped through the hole.

The rat raised an eyebrow, but a moment later, the door broke down, and a wave of red acid covered the room.

"Oh, fuck," the rat said before it was engulfed by the acid.

The rat died almost immediately, and the red water entered the hole, flowing into the sewers.
