Chapter 1083 Kill! Kill! Kill!

These beasts were dangerous, yet predictable, but today turned out to be different.

The Calamities did not stop pouring out from the ground in ever-increasing numbers even after hours of fighting, and although this group was an elite army forged from many years of battle, they had begun to lose some of their members to the fangs of the Calamities, and with growing pressure and fatigue in their minds and bodies, it was only a matter of time until they would all fall, a single mistake and a domino effect would spiral among their group and their extinction would be a foregone conclusion.

Rowan assessed this group of Blood Bound, currently, there were almost tens of thousands of similar groups scattered across hundreds of miles of terrain battling against an endless tide of Calamity Beasts rising from beneath the earth.

These seemingly endless mines were spread across the entire continent, but this outbreak was focused primarily around this area in a region that was a few hundred miles in circumference.

The death toll among the Blood Bounds was in the thousands but in a short moment as the weight of the endless assaults crossed a threshold, this number would reach hundreds of thousands and then millions. In a battle like this, there were no survivors.

If the Calamities were free to break out of the earth with no resistance, then the death toll would quickly rise to tens of millions even hundreds of millions in a short time and that was the least of the damages that could occur.

This breakout would scatter the delicate balance created around the entire continent, and the Blood Bounds keeping the other mines in check would be overrun by the sudden enemies bearing down upon them from above, and it would not be long before this continent would be buried under an endless tide of Calamities.

The Ascendants would not care, they would wait a while and clear the surface of the continent before bringing back a new batch of mortals to take over the land, this would cause them losses in the short term, a millennium or two would go by before things return to normal, but what was such a short time to an immortal?

Rowan knew that this would not be the first time such a thing had happened, and he did not know whether to laugh or cry when he figured out that the Ascendants were unerringly doing the same thing that this World's Will was doing to them, but on a much greater scale.

It made him think about the nature of reality, and how those at the top treated those at the bottom, while not knowing that there was a higher power treating them in the same way.

"Someone must break this chain… End this endless circle of despair."

Whatever activities the Resistance was up to, they had decided to sacrifice millions of their people to the jaws of death, and this was against their known operational parameters, from what Rowan could infer, members of the Resistance were the oldest of the Blood Bounds and supposedly the wisest. How could they condemn their people to death, or did they no longer see any hope of survival?

Previously Rowan would have simply walked past all these people, his focus alone would be on his curiosity about what could hide the resistance from him, and not about the reason for the actions of the Resistance or the potential death of billions.

The Vanguards were astonished at first at the actions of the beasts before a quick call for retreat and regrouping was made, and after a few more minutes and more beasts kept pouring out of the earth while still moving around with no aggression or purpose, the Vanguards decided to attack because there would no longer be such a great opportunity again to massacre these beasts. _{fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm}
