Chapter 589 A Third One Returns



The statue of liberty, one of the most famous landmarks in the world.

It was currently visible to Reign and Wolf, albeit it was quite far away and they couldn't see the entire thing that well. From where they were standing, Wolf and Reign guessed that the statue was tens of kilometers away, and it was only thanks to their improved eyesight and the fact that they were currently standing on a hill that was used as a nest by the monsters was enough to allow them to see so far away.

"It's New York, but how could it be, it makes no sense, just no sense at all." Reign said as Wolf nodded his head in agreement. For a city as large as New York to suddenly be so close to them, even though it was far away before the system arrived and the Earth was enlarged made absolutely no sense.

They knew that the Earth had changed and that nothing was like before, but this was still a huge deal. Upon seeing the city, Reign's eyes were opened wide, there was a slight smile on his face, one that was quickly wiped off after a large serpent came out of the ocean and wrapped itself around the statue.

The serpent simply coiled around the statue before stopping its movements, but the sight of a massive snake that was tens of meters long coiling around the statue of liberty was enough to make Reign and Wolf freeze.

Not only that, but the two were also able to see some buildings in New York, many of which were in ruins. Even though it was difficult to see the buildings and the state they were in Reign and Wolf still knew about it.

After all, it wasn't as if they didn't expect the entire city to go through an uproar, plus, they had already heard from Shadow's father about how bad the situation in the city was and knew that monsters were running rampant and that most of the citizens of New York were dead. The safe zones that had appeared were simply not big enough for everybody, in fact, they were enough for perhaps 10% of the population of New York, no more.

With the barriers slowly scattering and the safe zones being changed, it would be a miracle if all of the current safe zones were able to continue existing and not get destroyed by monsters. The safe zones in the city were controlled by groups, some had one definitive leader, like the safe zone that was under the control of Shadow's father, while there were others that were being run by a group of people.

Compared to how it was for Reign and the others, the situation in New York was much more dangerous. There were no barriers inside the city that divided the monsters by their levels and realms.

Instead, monsters kept to certain places in the city, and one would generally face monsters of a certain level in a couple of areas in the city, with the possibility of a more powerful monster suddenly dropping by being highly likely.

That led to many people dying even when fighting against monsters they were supposed to be able to defeat. No one was safe in the city, and even the outskirts of the city could sometimes have powerful monsters that would kill anyone that they came across.

With all of that in mind, Reign stared at the city, fully aware that this was no longer the place he grew up in. The city had its problems, that was certain, but it was still the one place he called home, and now it was being occupied by numerous monsters.

"Let's go," Reign told Wolf before turning around and making his way back to Doncaster.

"Oh, I have to admit that I half-expected you to try swimming over to New York immediately after seeing it." Wolf joked as Reign smirked.

"Don't be ridiculous, one can only imagine what kinds of monstrosities can be found in the ocean, not to mention that we have already seen one such monster come out and coil itself around the statue of liberty, I don't have a death wish, so I will wait." Reign said with a calm voice.

"I can get in touch with uncle Hwang at any moment, telling him that we can see the city from the shore will be enough to make him and auntie happy, what is left is to check how powerful the monsters in New York, and between us and New York are."

"If possible, I would like to have Beast's tamed beasts available to fly us to New York, but we would first have to check just how safe the air is, one can never be vigilant enough."

"I agree, traveling by boat or even by using an aquatic monster that Beast might be able to tame would not be that safe, the giant snake alone is more powerful than anything I have seen so far, there's no telling just what other kinds of monsters we might find down there," Wolf said with a serious tone, fully aware of what dangers might await in the oceans of the world.

"But first, we have to take care of the mountain range, with our powers being this high, it shouldn't take us long to become more powerful than all the demon tribes put together, after that we can slowly start making our way deeper inside the mountain range before finding out just what is happening there and why the monsters are coming out and attacking those nearby." Reign said in a serious tone before looking at Wolf.

"I will also help us as we will be able to get a good look at New York from the many mountains there, of course, we can do that even now, but where's the fun in that, right?" Reign asked Wolf who shook his head and smiled at him.

"Oh, and don't forget to slowly bond with that bastard, even though he is annoying, he can be of great help, you have already seen just how he was able to call forth the chaotic flames, with his help you may not only have an easier time controlling the sword and its flames, but you also might learn how to use the flames for yourself."

"I know, this is probably the most important weapon any of us has ever received, to think it would rise to Rank SSS like that, we were really lucky, luckier than I ever thought we were," Wolf said as he glanced at his sword that was firmly placed on his back.

Even though they all could use the marks to summon their weapons, Reign and the others preferred carrying the weapons with them in most cases. They weren't the only ones as there were many people in the universe that did that. Even with the marks that the weapons would go into, most would carry them around simply because they wished to.

Some did it to look strong, others in order to intimidate, but most people did it for one specific reason, and that was to form a bond, a link, with the weapon.

Many would say that that is just dumb and that no such would happen merely by carrying a weapon around, but many disagreed and said they had seen a difference when they carried a weapon around.

It was partly true that it helps as the person will get acquainted with the size and weight of the weapon, but other than that, it was a primarily mental thing. By carrying around weapons, people would create a mental image of themselves and their weapons being one and the same.

That would help, as mentality was incredibly important. If a person truly believed that they had bonded with their weapon merely by carrying it around and now knew how to use it more proficiently, that could very well happen.

Reign and Wolf slowly made their way back to the first mountain before entering the base and using the portal. They appeared back in Doncaster, and the first thing they did was go to the prison and take out the young man they had previously captured.

The man stared at them hatefully as the two locked the cell and left him there. For today, they had done plenty and were planning on resting a bit before exploring a bit of the mountain range. They had just slaughtered everybody from the enemy organization, and they needed to allow the young man to gather his thoughts before talking to him, which they would do tomorrow.

As the two were walking through the town, a bright light suddenly in front of them them. The two stopped and looked ahead, they already knew that this was what happened each time one of them was coming back, and they were quite excited to find out who was arriving now.

As the bright light disappeared, a figure appeared on the ground about 3 meters in front of them.

Upon seeing the figure, both Reign and Wolf opened their eyes wide. It was Beast, but he was in a bad condition.

His entire body was bloody and full of wounds, his armor cracked and even broken in some places while blood gushed out, quickly creating a pool of blood on the ground.

The biggest shock was not just Beast's condition, but the small dagger that he was holding in his hand. The dagger was shining an ominous light, and both Reign and Wolf knew what that meant.
