Chapter 996 Invasion From A Higher Floor!


    ??-----


    The night sky trembled, a huge portal leading to apletely different world opened, shocking the entire town. The people panicked as they saw a gigantic swarm of Vampiric Beasts surge from within the portal, led by a group of five Vampires, all of theming from apletely different world.


    The news about their own world being connected to some ce known as the "Tower" and that it was possible for other worlds connected to the Tower to invade their own was not something the people of this world would take kindly.


    Perhaps for the rest of the poption, far away from this conflict, they would only find this out as some sort of wonder, but for the people of this city in the middle of the desert, this event was the same as the apocalypse.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    [Warning! A Special Upper Floor Raid Event is in effect!]


    [Your Floor is now undergoing invasion from outside forces of a floor above yours within the Tower. Invasion Origin: [Floor 60: Umbralheim]]


    [Fend off the invaders to gain Contribution Points you can utilize to purchase items in the Raid Shop! Or sumb to your invader''s thirst for blood.]


    The reality of this world was slowly being unveiled in front of these people, and also to the rest of the world. This wasn''t a message only Maria andpany could only see. Everyone in Yggdrasil could see it. This was, after all, the invasion from another world entirely!


    "W-What is this message?!"


    "What''s happening…?"


    "T-The sky is red; I''ve never seen this before…"


    "The Crimson moon…"


    The people panicked, seeing in horror as their own perception of reality was being shattered right in front of their eyes. This whole time, they were nothing but pawns inside a much bigger game, one so big they couldn''t even fathom it.


    The portal kept growingrger until it reached its limits, and from within, a dozen figures leaped out,rge and powerful, floating in midair. They judged the "livestock" with cold crimson eyes, licking their lips.


    It seemed this number was the limit of Raiders from another world that they could send using this pitiful catalyst. But twelve Vampires was more than enough to ughter this entire city and offer Yin Shang his sacrifices, while they would reap fresh blood from a world rich in mana such as Yggdrasil.


    And above all, they would get to feed their little army of Vampiric Beast pets!


    "Fufu, alright everyone! How are you doing?" The strongest of the twelve Vampires stepped in, her figure beautiful and slender, her long red hair waving by the wind, her scarlet eyes staring into people''s souls. These Vampires were not the same as Yggdrasil''s Vampires.


    Nay, the Vampires of this world were nothing but their failed descendants, weaklings that had children with inhabitants of Yggdrasil and chose to live peaceful lives with the Demons. However, these Vampires came from their own world!


    A world of darkness and bloodshed, of eternal night and endless ughter. The World Of Endless Night, Umbralheim.


    "You seem a bit confused! I can tell! Well, me your "Gods" for that! All those Gods you worship so much, they''ve been keeping the existence of the Tower and other worlds a secret from you this WHOLE time!" Laughed the Vampiress. "Could you believe it? To live with so much ignorance! I guess it can''t be helped that you''re nothing but cattle to us. I am guessing the Gods won''t mind it, right? After all, they never truly cared about any of you to begin with."


    Her sharp crimson-red eyes shone brightly, the people felt stiff, paralyzed. They wanted to escape as gigantic bloodthirsty bats descended from the skies but were unable to move an inch. The vampires only watched for now, they wanted to see some people screaming and being torn apart before they started. A warmup, they would say. So they can get a bit more excited and start hunting themselves.


    "We''ll let our little pets hunt a few of you guys, it is our customary ritual before a big hunt! I hope you don''t mind." Sheughed out loud. The rest of the Vampiresughed too, their wicked smiles full of thirst, as they licked their lips.


    A Giant Vampire Bat, a mighty A Rank Monster from Umbralheimnded on the city''s floor, rushing towards the closest victim, a mother and her daughter. They were looking at the gigantic beast open its jaws, soon to engulf them into a single bite.


    "SHAAAAH!"


    The Vampires crimson eyes shone brightly, they expectation rising their blood pressure and making them excited. Theyughed as they celebrated yet another Blood Festival, a celebration they did on unsuspecting "lower worlds" where they would briefly visit, devour and drink as much as they wanted, and then leave. Usually in ordance with special deals they had with the rulers of such realms.


    CRUUUNCH!


    The Bat''s jaws closed, blood sttering everywhere. The Vampiresughed, looking down to expect the half-eaten bodies of the mother and her child. Nothing but walking blood bags for them, they held no empathy for any being, only themselves.


    "G-Graagh…"


    Yet, their expectations were quickly shattered as they saw it was the bat that was bleeding. Half its head was missing, a gigantic mass of blood spread around the innocent civilians, taking the shape of countless jaws, which had devoured the attacking Vampiric beast.


    "Gryyaaggh!"


    The bat screamed in agony as the jaws quickly surrounded it and covered it on countless bites, devouring it and tearing it to shreds in mere seconds. Simr scenes happened everywhere across the city. Sea snakes made of water and metallic hooks trapped dozens of monsters, cutting them into pieces. Explosions of chaotic mes engulfed them and burned them into cinders. Ice froze them and then shattered them into countless tiny pieces, and more!


    "W-What''s going on?!"


    "Those cattle, do they happen to have strong Rankers protecting them?"


    "There''s no reason! This is just a small city in the middle of nowhere!"


    "That''s…!"


    Before one of the Vampires could speak, an arrow made of pure spiritual light shed through the skies, ascending from below him and piercing his head, making it explode into pieces.


    BOOOM!


    Their leader swiftly red down in anger. Her bloodthirsty eyes were full of wrath!


    "Who dares?!"
