The Author's POV

As predicted, when the countdown reached zero, the world descended into chaos as dungeons began to overload and monsters entered the human world.

The Monolith then turned on the mana compressor, which caused the tear in the sky to grow and sucked in the incoming mana, turning it into demonic energy, and making the monsters go even wilder.

Domick square, Ashton city.

"Will you be fine?"

I asked while looking at Angelica, who was facing the other way from me.

At that moment, we were perched on the roof of a structure, and we gazed off into the not-too-distant horizon, where a massive portal was located.

While we were talking, thousands upon thousands of monsters poured out of the portal, wreaking havoc on everything that was in their immediate vicinity.

To everyone's relief, there were already multiple heroes stationed near the portal, and things seemed to be holding steady for the time being.

Having said that, we required that portal right now in order to get Angelica back into the demon realm.

"No problem."

Angelica responded while calmly looking at the portal in the distance.

"If you manage to distract everyone for a moment, I will have no trouble entering the portal."

"Well, okay…"

I shrugged my shoulders.

"If that's what you want, I can easily do that for you."

Distracting everyone was as easy as me lifting my hand, literally.

Plus, with the cameras shut off thanks to Ryan, I didn't need to worry about the others seeing the full scale of my strength.

It wasn't time just yet.

"So are you ready?"

"I am."

Angelica nodded solemnly and gazed into the distance with a complicated look.

"You can start."

"Okay."

I did not waste any time and immediately thrust my hand downward after raising it into the air. The ground began to tremble almost instantly as a result of my actions, and the area around the portal also began to shake.

The area around the portal began to fill with cracks, and suddenly hundreds of sword energies appeared out of nowhere.

Then, as if rain had fallen upon the land, the sword energies shot toward the beasts that were rampaging next to the portal at alarming rates.

The wails of the monsters could be heard throughout the entirety of the city as blood spilled into the air and the city fell into an eerie state of silence.

In that moment, all eyes gathered on me, and I gently mumbled.

"Go."

Angelica vanished from the spot beside me, and I clenched my hand into a fist.

The rain of sword energies shot toward the ground at a faster rate, and at the same time, a large cloud of dust began to diffuse in the air, which obscured everyone's vision.
