The gentle breeze and the sweet air once captivated Kory on Earth... But that was in the past.
Now, Earth felt like a hell of endless torment to Kory!
Because behind him, the two spirit pets of Sequence Two, that big dog and a bizarre creature that looked exactly like Sequence One, were closely tailing him!
The big dog was manageable; Kory understood all of its skills. As long as the super destiny fight was not triggered, he could choose to fight or flee at will.
However, that fake "Sequence One"... completely exceeded the level of power that Kory could handle!
Even though Kory had memorized all of Sequence One's skills flawlessly, the absolute difference in physical quality made him feel incredibly vulnerable in front of Faceless.
Lying quietly in a pool of foul-smelling mud, the unpleasant odors filling his nose did not disturb Kory's judgment at all.
The current situation was very tricky for Kory!
Before Wen Yu's actions had even begun, Kory had already headed to the dimensional maze, preparing to check the defenses of the East African Rift Valley and the status of the Rift Device—the most important task for the commander of the African war zone.
Moreover, this was something Kory had done countless times before, so he was naturally familiar with it.
However, just a few hours after arriving at the dimensional maze, news of an attack suddenly arose from outside.
The first news came from Lord Sig's team that was surrounding Arcade. The message was only a few short words: "Mission failed, Sequence Two has struck..."
Before he could finish, the overwhelming sounds of shouting and explosions interrupted.
Hearing those words made Kory's heart skip a beat. Before he could sort out the complex situation, news of attacks in the African war zone began to flood in!
Hillgrue Gathering Place was attacked.
Valu Gathering Place was attacked.
One after another, the messages made Kory's head spin, his brain feeling like mush, until the news of the central command being attacked reached him. Only then did he collect his thoughts, and a single thought rose in his mind.
"The African war zone is finished..."
As for punishment, that could wait—Kory could already imagine Regas's immense fury. There’s a saying that misfortune comes in threes. Once the African war zone collapsed for the third time, after the Beijing war zone and the India war zone, Regas's expression would surely be quite spectacular!
Holding on to the sense of responsibility as the commander of the African war zone, Kory made a quick decision, preparing to minimize losses as much as possible during the collapse of battle.
The Rift Device must not be lost! As the only strategic weapon that allowed external life forms to enter the Demon Realm, Kory had to ensure its safety.
However, the installation and disassembly of the Rift Device were not simple tasks. This process consumed a lot of Kory's time, and before he could complete it, he encountered the one-eyed and the white figure.
Thus, the following situation was no longer something Kory could control.
...
Lying in the mud, Kory carefully listened to the movements around him while constantly devising his escape plan.
The quickest escape method was to use the Demon Realm Gate for a reverse cross-border transfer—currently, the full reverse transfer had not been opened, but with Kory's identity, he naturally had a special teleportation token.
However, as a mere level six demonic creature, even though he appeared to hold a significant position, he was still a minor character in the Demon Realm and could not obtain a higher-level token. The token he had in hand was merely the lowest level token corresponding to a single Demon Realm Gate—the one closest to the New Hope Gathering Place.
In other words, Kory had only two options before him—one was to wait until the full reverse transfer opened, allowing him to return through any Demon Realm Gate, saving his life. The other was to head to the Demon Realm Gate near the central command and leave directly using the token.
