”What the heck, why can't I enjoy a good sleep?” Mo Fan yawned and rose from his bed. He was still wearing white sleepwear.
The others were woken up by the alarm, too. They all went to the balconies outside their rooms.
Mo Fan could see a red light flickering. It was similar to the light of a Blood Alert. His expression immediately darkened as he mumbled to himself, ”Are you serious? Are you telling me that every city I go to will have some kind of disaster?”
Mo Fan took a closer look and realized the light was different from a Blood Alert. It was only a signal for the guards in the West Guardian Tower.
The guards were busy patrolling around the tower. Many of them were heading up the stairs to the top floor. Mo Fan immediately blended into the guards and followed them to the top floor. He was curious to find out what was happening.Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please clickfor visiting.

Commander Takagi and Mochizuki Ken were standing at the top of the tower, with Japanese soldiers lined up behind them. They were all looking at the area on the sea around six kilometers away from the tower.
The sea was some distance away from the West Guardian Tower. The bright moon reflected off the surface of the ocean, and it was obvious that something there was producing irregular waves that were splashing onto the rocks nearby.
The disturbance had come from that area, yet no one saw anything suspicious, apart from the irregular waves.
”What exactly is it?” asked Mochizuki Ken in a surprised tone.
”We're not sure yet,” replied Commander Takagi in a deep voice.
The people of the West Guardian Tower had placed lots of buoys in the ocean close to Osaka's boundary. The sensors would only respond when they detected the presence of living creatures.
Occasionally, some creatures would trigger the buoys, but it was rare to see more than a hundred sensors being triggered simultaneously.
Most importantly, they had discovered that the buoys were all triggered by a single creature!
Each buoy was around four meters apart. In other words, the creature that triggered the sensors was a gigantic sea creature!
”Commander Takagi, the creature seems to have withdrawn deep into the ocean!” reported a captain as he landed on the tower and withdrew his Wind Wings.
”It fled?” Commander Takagi was puzzled.
If a gigantic creature had triggered the sensors, it was most likely that the creature was up to something. Commander Takagi was just about to have the soldiers prepare for a huge battle, but the situation was resolved just like that?
”Maybe it accidentally came into our territory?” said Mochizuki Ken.
”I don't think so, such a high-level creature must have a certain level of intelligence. There's no way it doesn't know this area belongs to us humans...” Commander Takagi stared into the distance and said after a slight hesitation, ”I should go and check, just in case.”
Commander Takagi summoned an enormous beast. It had a head like tiger, with gray wings on its back. The wings were eight meters long when they were extended, even more majestic than the wings of a giant eagle.
The creature carried Commander Takagi as it soared into the sky. It flew a few hundred meters away by just beating its wings a few times. It gradually shrank into a tiny dot as it proceeded toward the area where the sensors were.
”That's Commander Takagi's Sky Ridge Beast, I'm so jealous!” sighed a captain.
