Re-Birth Of A Genius. Creator/Destroyer

As the red water creature enveloped the city lord's arm and he suddenly felt a sharp pain in it.

It is not a piercing pain of a stab, and definitely not the pain of his flesh torn apart. It is a very different kind of pain that he has never felt.

There is also something else that made his mood go from solemn to fear.

Because the pain came from his blood being sucked out of his skin and pores. There is a faint red spotted pattern on it and before his eyes, the red creature recovered at a visible rate.

"What the fuck is this?"

He cursed out loud with a shivering voice. The voice was quaking with fear and the subordinates in the surrounding area stopped what they are doing for a second, only to see the red water creature envelop the city and started sucking his blood.

Except for the face of the city lord, every part of his skin is releasing blood as the red water moved all over his skin.

He felt like he is being pierced with needles from the inside out.

He couldn't even scream out loud as he swallowed the red water and filled his own lungs quickening the whole process.

The other water creatures immediately, went and destroyed the distracted subordinates and caught hold of their deadbodies as they ran towards the sea.

"Don't let them escape. We can't let them humiliate us like this."

One of the righteous soldiers screamed and ran towards the water creatures that are escaping with deadbodies.

That left his back wide open for other creatures and he never came back. In his last second, all he saw is his fellow soldiers retreating deeper, not willing to get entangled along with him.

His dead body was also dragged by the rest of the creatures.

Some creatures died in the battle and exploded. The glowing substance penetrated into the skins of the soldiers in the surroundings.

The rest of the creatures that are completely fine picked a dead body each and ran towards the sea once again and the city lord is also taken away just like that.

The rest of the people immediately retreated. No one wanted to fight the creatures to death with their leader gone.

The deputy who is next in command is also quivering behind the city walls while his superior was taken away.

He was actually looking forward to the day when his superior died, but that day, he really wished that guy was alive that day. He doesn't want to face whatever the situation was in front of him.

The soldiers that retreated inside started approaching the Deputy.

But he is not responding to them.

He didn't know what to do and as the pressure mounted up more and more, he gave out one excuse that he could think of.

"Since even the city lord couldn't handle this situation, I am also clueless. I will go and visit the superiors in the city to find out a proper solution for this."

"How can you leave now, Deputy City lord? Since the city lord is dead, you are the one in charge. I will go and talk with the superiors in the city. You stay and protect the port city."

An official voiced his objections immediately. He doesn't want to leave the opportunity to move to a safer place.

But that official is not the only one with those kinds of thoughts. There are others too who volunteered with enthusiasm.

But the deputy who is the strongest obviously didn't let them have their way.

He adamantly took on the task and left the city.

Philip, Jack and Watt are just checking out the blinking images that are appearing on the screen. They didn't even care about what is happening in the city.

"So, how many red ones can we get now?"

"Well, with the corpses they collected freshly, a dozen wouldn't be a problem."

"The speed is also increasing. This is going to be a living nightmare."

"Well, it is just the beginning. There are three more towers left and I am going to plant them now. Let's see what will happen now."

"Three more towers, here?" Jack asked with shock.

"Of course, why would I not use them."

"The city will be destroyed instantly if you use them all. Isn't it going to be a waste?"

"No, it is not. We are going to let the creatures rest. They are going to stay in the sea for a while, let them accumulate in the sea for a while.

Let the people from the main city come back before we do anything. Meanwhile, if they grow excess, we can send them somewhere else."

As Philip said it, the crew already made their move and planted new towers in the surrounding sea and the creatures already started emerging one by one.

Meanwhile, the Deputy immediately left the city without waiting for the others to object to his journey.

He didn't even care what they would think of him. All he wanted was to escape and he went slowly without any trouble. He took his sweet time and reached the city by the next day.

Inside the city, the city lord met with the Deputy of the port city immediately.

"What are you here for? I heard that there is some trouble in the port city, shouldn't you be managing that trouble?"

"I am here because of the trouble itself. It is not manageable. The city lord died last night."

The city lord went silent and asked.

"The port city lord died last night?"

"Yes."

"Then why didn't I receive the news immediately?"

"I… I don't know how to handle the situation and I had to think it through before I decided to come by myself to inform you about it."

"What is there to think about? Bloody idiot. Do you know the kind of situation we are in? We are in a war with the Gaja clan? Can we even afford to lose people like this? Your city lord is one of the best fighters in his cultivation plane and you lost him just like that?

He was supposed to lead a special water elemental user team to the Gaja clan's territory. Young master Sivan asked for him."

The deputy was dumbfounded, he doesn't even know what to say.

"I don't know anything about it sir. The fight last night was very weird and unnatural. We were caught off guard by these weird creatures and the trouble went out of hand when the city lord died.

I immediately started and came here to inform you."

"What do you mean immediately started? You would have been here at midnight. You took your sweet time. You bloody coward.

The worst part is, I still cannot go to Port city now. I will send the guard commander, with you. Go and make sure that you take his instructions and work with him.

You need to avert whatever this problem is no matter what."

"Yes, sir."

The deputy left the room and soon he was met with the commander of the city.

Both of them travelled back at full speed.

They arrived at the port city by afternoon.

The city is as peaceful as ever.

There is not a single sign of attack from last night as the people already cleaned it up.

The blue creatures and red creatures didn't show up again and neither did the sea beasts.

The commander went to the port where the attack happened by himself as he checked the surroundings.

He is an Initial stage Consummate cultivator. He is not afraid of whatever killed the city lord, since he heard from the Deputy's report that it took a lot of effort from the red creature.

After checking that there are no signs of these creatures, he went back to the city and started questioning people.

One of the port workers had a rather perfect image of what happened and explained everything to him.

"So, you are saying that creatures that have a glowing inner structure covered with dark blue gel-like bodies with no faces whatsoever came out of the sea by themselves and attacked everyone randomly before they went back into the city along with the corpses?"

"Yes, that is exactly what happened?"

"Are you sure they are not some people in disguise?"

"I am sure sir. Because the beach guards actually killed one and it exploded in their faces."

"Are there any other triggers when they came? The environmental conditions?"

"No, Sir. I cannot think of any. Everything is perfectly normal."

The commander investigated along these lines, while Philip made the next move.

The sea in the surroundings is riddled with these blue creatures and now with his commands, they started moving in a different direction.

They swam to shore where it is connected to the river and entered the explosive stream.

They slowly started swimming upstream as they made their way through the river that is flowing through the forest.
