Miles ran behind the car and occasionally looked at the scenery around him as they left and began to feel slightly guilty.
"All these people had to leave their homes because of a simple event that I casually wrote about."
The eighth wave of mana was an event mentioned several times in his work because it was an event that had to do with the quest for power of the protagonist of the book whose father died in this event.
This world could be an illusion created by God, a world that existed before he wrote his novel or even a world that appeared after he had written his novel, but it didn't matter because it was his fault that misfortune was going to befall this world, all this to entertain his readers, he slaughtered billions of people with his pen and ruined the lives of billions more.
Lost in his thoughts, Miles, whose body was uniformly covered with a white aura, continued to run after the car that was quickly leaving.
Lost in his thoughts, Miles, whose body was uniformly covered with a white aura, continued to chase the car that was crossing the large bridge at the exit of the city, which was quite wide and made of concrete and steel.
Miles followed the car and looked down at the river water below with slight disgust.
The water was dark in color due to the lack of ambient light and some sort of dark slimy substance, countless dead fish bodies from the slowly flowing water gave off a smell so strong that Miles immediately pinched his nose to resist the urge to vomit, forcing him to slow down his run.
Miles, looking in the direction of the pickup, stopped running with surprise when he saw Aron jump out of the driver's cab before shouting a few words to Taewook and Fujiwara while running quickly towards him followed by the two.
All this lasted only two seconds, then Miles felt a strong draft sweep through his hair and saw drops of water floating in the air as a huge shadow darkened the deck.
Above the bridge, a fish with green scales, gigantic teeth and a body of more than 18 meters fell rapidly towards them, its mouth gaping like a predator preparing to swallow its prey.
Miles, still in shock, was suddenly thrown by Aron as a powerful red aura emanated from his body, followed by Fujiwara whose equally terrifying dark aura exploded from his body.
Miles came to his senses and fell off the bridge, landing awkwardly on his legs as a small amount of mana surrounded him.
*Bam*
The earth shook beneath Miles' feet, nearly tipping him over as river water gushed over the banks of the bridge that stood proudly six seconds earlier, breaking into pieces and falling into the water, releasing a thick layer of dust and concrete debris.
Miles closed his eyes and shielded his face with his arms from the debris thrown in his direction by the powerful air current produced by the shock of the bridge while holding himself firmly to the ground as the unhealthy water of the river flowing on the ground tried to wash him away.
"What the fuck is this monster."
Miles, having gotten used to the peace of these last days, had almost forgotten that he was in one of the most dangerous places on the planet.
This terrifying monster that could crush him a million times had reminded him.
"Where are the others? Fuck! I can't see anything."
Miles walked slowly slowed by the water at his feet before being stopped by the water that was now up to his knees pushing him backwards and forcing him to grab onto a nearby street light to keep from being swept away.
The dust cleared a few seconds later and before he had time to react he saw a sight he would never forget.
The dust cleared a few seconds later as the amount of water at his feet diminished and before he could rush forward, he stopped at the sight he would never forget.
Black flames swallowed the water of the river below creating a void of more than thirty meters that revealed the depths of the river in which Fujiwara stood with his body surrounded by these flames, while Aron's fists frantically crushed the lumpy body of the gigantic creature that destroyed the bridge earlier.
"Aron stop picking on that damn beast and get the hell out of there."
Fujiwara shouted at Aron who was frantically crushing his overpowering fists on the creature's body which was unrecognizable.
Hearing Fujiwara's words Aron finally stopped before spitting on the creature's body while clicking his tongue.
Fujiwara's flames dissipated as the two knew how to get out of the river whose waters engulfed the wretched creature in lint again.
"Hurry up guys, we have to get to the rally point by tomorrow morning."
Miles hearing the familiar voice turned his head to the left and saw Tae-Wook standing on the roof of a building while shouting in exasperation to Aron and Fujiwara to hurry up.
At that moment Miles couldn't help but reassess the power of the people he was accompanying.
