Blood Mountain Range, a place of commerce and one of the largest black markets on the continent. This is a lawless land, anyone would do anything for money, even killing family. And it happened, 3 times this week. A bustling city despite the reputation, has people trooping in and out of stalls and shops. Occasionally, people are tossed from said shops with bruises and a bottle in hand, walking to a bar for a refill and back to shops.
This lawless land is where the Spirit hunters reside and trade, they even have a spirit farm where they initially wanted to breed the spirit-kin and are still doing. Spirit-kin hunting isn't the only thing these people do, from kidnapping, assassinations, politics, racial persecution, mercenary, slavery, you name it.
Some nations have tried to cleanse the earth of such filth but things didn't end well for some, especially the weaker nations. Anyway, down in the streets, trade is going on as usual. A man walks up to a vendor, "How much for this potion?"
The vendor pulls his moustache with a grin, "This here costs 3 gold coins. Better poison you'll ever find and comes with an anecdote." The man pays 3 gold coins and receives the potion, "Pleasure doing business."
Further down is a raised stage with people standing on it, the people are chained and not in good condition. A slaver walks up to the stage, "Ladies and gentlemen, today we have one of our high-quality goods on display. We've had elves, exotic beastmen and human royalty." He moves before a young woman and pulls her forward, "A princess of Yulto, and untouched. Let's say 50 gold coins." People start to bid and purchase them. Yulto is still standing despite it's princess being made into a slave.
Up the streets is a nifty looking shop and a vendor stands before his shop, "Check it out everyone. I've got goods from Azuria, the legendary potion that can make you grow stronger and even Azuria weapons." He brings out a shiny looking sword, "This sword is so sharp it can cut rocks like butter." He grins displaying it unaware this is some of the trash Azuria sold to make business. He displays more stuff, "Dwarven weapons, elvish sacred elixir..." and he goes on.
Further down is a shady looking character, he spreads his arms wide. "Drugs? Anyone want drugs? I've got every kind." His jacket does indeed look like it has every illegal addictive drug, "You won't find this anywhere else." He picks up a potion, "This'll make the world shi~ne!" looks like he has tasted it.
People are doing business until they heard it, *AAARRRGGGHHH!* a scream from the gates of this mountain city. *AARRGGHHH!!* the screams continue spreading, getting closer to the place. Then they finally see it, *RROAARR!* the corrupted abominations have arrived. Horrifying monsters ripping people up as they make their way into the city. Their disfigured proportions striking fear and disgust in those who behold them but mostly fear. Some had an arm too big reaching the ground using it to walk, other no skin continuously bleeding corrosive poison and gasping gases. They're bigger than average humans about 3 meters hulking over the people.
Surprisingly, the city had guards but level 14 or lower guards clearly didn't last a moment against them. A guard draws his sword and swings it to cut an abomination's neck, "DIE SCUM!" *CHUK* his sword is stuck in the fleshy monster. The abomination turns and grabs him lifting him up as he begs, "No STOP! NOOO!!!-" *CRUNCH CRUNCH* He was eaten alive. The abomination spits on the ground and the remainder of the guard slowly turns into another abomination. That is how their numbers reached 100s, some even have traces of clothes remaining.
An abomination sees a woman walking with kids and starts running towards her, tears start streaming down the face of the abomination because it knows the woman and kids. The woman sees the hulking beast rushing towards her, "STAY AWAY! AAHHH-" *BOOOM* the hand of the abomination smashed her, the kids are terrified screaming but they met the same fate.
A group of guards arrive at the scene with the leader recognizing the beasts, "Isn't that Shawn? And those symbols, they are the spirit hunters. My god what happened to them?" A guard rushes over to the captain, "Sir!" He reaches the guard captain, "Sir, these monsters ju-" The guard captain sees a long object coming, "LOOK O-" A long bladed arm pierced him through with the captain. The others turn to see an Abomination with really long arms over 30 meters, it dragged the 2 towards it as other abominations caught them and devoured them.
The abominations spread through the city, some people had legendary weapons pried from the corpses of heroes. Even they who could cut the monsters were defeated. A man holding a sacred treasure of some kingdom cuts an abomination but it keeps regenerating, "WHY WON'T YOU DIE!" He swings his arms and the abomination got bladed limbs and cut his arms off, *AAARRGHH-* he got crushed.
It was a horrid scene, a girl by her dead father, a woman crushed by a building screaming for help, a man being eaten and the drug dealer is impaled on a very long pole. No one knows when or how he got there, maybe the drugs had a play. In mere hours, the only major moving beings were the abominations whose number is reaching 300. Some people weren't targeted by the abominations but even they got caught in the carnage, some stayed still hoping they won't be seen. Some people gained their lives and others lost it.
After those involved with the Sprit-kin in the city died, all the abominations ominously turned towards the top of the mountain city. An extravagant mansion on top of the mountain was before them with many soldiers of over 10,000 with more being gathered. Powerful people of Legendary rank, that is a demon king or monster king rank, only a few levels below the abominations. But the abominations weren't in the least intimidated.
An abomination raised its hand high and smashed it into the ground, an eerie aura emanates from it spreading ahead of it. Undead skeletons start to rise from the ground, the corpses that didn't become abominations convert into zombies. The undead reach about 5,000 and they charge at the soldiers before them. The other Abominations start using their skills, it was pandemonium!
Some abominations start spewing fire which burns them but they keep doing it, they burn the solders and crush them. Some abominations jump high and drop their bodies on them, some also blend into the shadows and stealthy slay the soldiers and 3 of the leaders with powerful artifacts like mobs.
One of the leaders of the soldiers start casting magic with his hand stretched to one abomination. *BOOOOM* He hits it with a fire bomb, "Hmph." He looks pleased with a smug grin. The grin vanishes when he sees the abomination remolding itself back up, "Impossible! HOW IS IT STILL ALIVE?!" He keeps casting spells from the back of the army but he only exhausts himself and gets swallowed.
The number of soldiers kept increasing by 1,000s every moment but so did the abominations, they had already reached 2,000 and the undead they were commanding 7,000. By nightfall, fear and despair spreads among the soldiers, they try to flee but are trapped in the middle of their reinforcements. They break their formations and scatter, making easy targets.
