Kaze stepped out of a spatial rift on the side of the mountain, overlooking Meridian City. Only a day before, it was in chaos but still standing. Now, large sections of the city were on fire.
Skyscrapers had toppled from the recent air bombing, creating a distinctively jagged appearance in the distance. It was a terrifyingly dystopian sight.
"If they attacked the city, it meant the Killian faction cultivators created chaos for the military." He muttered pensively, "That must mean there's an event near the city."

Kaze had to run there and would be late. He was performing a covert operation to steal the Ergo Seeds for treasure cultivation and didn't want to attract attention with flight.
