The mist moved upward and entered the floating organ.
More bodies followed.
The survivors struck the barrier, attacked Andrew, and tried to protect one another. None of it changed the result.
Every person who died became more power for the formation, and the growing formation pulled even faster from those who remained.
An old man held an injured boy against his chest. He used the last of his qi to protect the boy, but the red lines passed through his protection.
The old man's body turned into mist first. The boy fell to the ground.
He looked at Andrew in terror before his body followed.
It did not take long for the screaming to stop.
Blood mist filled the barrier. No bodies remained inside.
Andrew watched the mist circle the organ. The red flesh absorbed most of it, while the rest flowed through the lines beneath the service yard.
