RUMBLE...
The ground beneath Gambling City trembled ceaselessly.
A terrifying beast tide surged forward, vast and unstoppable.
Even with Gambling City's gates shut tight, the people inside were frantic with panic.
Most had barricaded themselves in their rooms, trembling with fear.
They could clearly feel the constant vibrations of their homes, which only made them more terrified and uneasy.
Escape? Where could they escape? The beast tide had already encircled Gambling City, cutting off all hope.
In the end, Lord Wen appeared on the city walls.
Standing at the highest point, Lord Wen brought Wen Shixi with him to watch the approaching cloud of dust.
His face was drained of all color.
"Father, the beast tide... it's here."
Wen Shixi stammered, his voice trembling.
"I see it."
Beneath his sleeves, Lord Wen's hands were shaking, a slight, uncontrollable tremor.
Pang Yuan had long since noticed the Sovereign's panic.
