Chapter 687: Chapter 687 - The Capital’s Frozen Hope
As the massive blazing behemoth emerged in the sky, the entire battlefield froze. Panic and uncertainty gripped everyone, halting the once-ferocious clashes.
But the shock wasn't limited to the players or NPCs defending the city-the demons themselves began to scream in terror. Their bodies ignited with flames, writhing as though the very fire descending from the sky was consuming them.
"Why are they burning?!" a player shouted. "Isn't that their own attack?! The meteor is coming from their side! It shouldn't hurt them!"
The chaos was overwhelming. Some players hesitated, unsure whether to press forward or retreat, while others resumed fighting in smaller, scattered skirmishes. Yet, the once-brutal intensity of the battle had diminished, replaced with a chilling sense of dread.
"This isn't a fight anymore," one player muttered, his weapon trembling in his hands. "This is a goddamn nightmare!"
"We're doomed..." a nearby archer whispered. "It doesn't matter what we do anymore. Nothing will stop that thing!"
From the sidelines, an NPC soldier screamed in despair. "We're all going to die! That fire... it'll consume everything! RUN!"
"Is this what defeat feels like?" another soldier asked as he fell to his knees. "No... this is worse. This is the end of the world."
