When a suspicious object appeared on the beach,

Wiiing!

Sirens began to sound throughout Hawaii. Since there had been strange signs beforehand, the United States had already issued an evacuation order for all of the Hawaiian region, and most of the people living in Hawaii had already evacuated via boats or airplanes.

Boom!

Kaboom!

Thanks to that, tanks and fighter jets waiting on the shore could freely launch shells and missiles towards the black entities approaching, darkening the sea.

After hundreds of shots and missiles were fired, it seemed like the enemy had vanished.

But then,

Wriggle, wriggle.

The scattered black flesh on the ground began to gather towards the sea, and then

Boom!

A gigantic black entity burst forth from the sea.

“What the?! Is that a leech?!”

“A leech?”

The black entity was indeed a leech. The soldiers finally recognized the identity of the enemy and were relieved. It was just a leech.

Boom!

Tanks and fighter jets resumed their attack on the giant leech. The leech was slow and large, making it an easy target for all their attacks.

However,

Squish, squish.

Despite the attacks, the giant leech’s body quickly regenerated.

Moreover, the giant leech did not remain passive. It expanded its head and then lunged its body to cover the fighter jets and tanks that had attacked it. Although the attack was simple, its enormous size made it sufficiently threatening.

Crash!

The fighter jets could quickly fly away to avoid the leech’s attack, but the tanks were crushed under it.

“Move at full speed!”

“Yes!”

The soldiers inside the tanks didn’t panic and tried to escape by breaking through the leech’s body.

Then,

Crunch. Crunch.

With a crunching sound and the smell of fresh blood, smaller leeches started pouring in like water through the gaps of the tank.

“What the?!”

Bang! Bang!

The tank commander accurately shot the heads of the approaching leeches.

But,

Wriggle, wriggle.

The fragments of the dead leeches were simply absorbed into the bodies of other leeches.

And then,

Wriggle, wriggle.

The leeches clung to the soldiers’ bodies, sinking their teeth in and starting to suck their blood.

“Aargh!”

“Save me…”

Eventually, they were buried under thousands of small leeches, their blood drained and becoming mummified like fish floating in the Pacific Ocean.

23rd Floor of the Purple Tower.

[Fire, blaze up!]

Whoosh.

Along with Flamie’s incantation,

Screech!

Hundreds of approaching venomous centipedes were burned to death in the flames. True to Flamie’s talent in fire attributes, Flamie skillfully used the basic fire magic as soon as she learned it from Aileen.

However,

[This is still as annoying as ever.]

While it was easier than before since Flamie could kill hundreds at a time, the need for vigilance remained the same.

[Isn’t there a better way? Ah! There is! The Detoxifying Green Onions from the master!]

Flamie was excited at the thought of the Detoxifying Green Onions but then realized,

[But how do I get them?]

Not having a clear way to acquire them, Flamie quickly became dejected.

[I’ll have to ask Aileen for a solution!]

Flamie decided to seek Aileen’s help.
