The Fallen Formation

The citizens of Donglin City lost any semblance of rationality as a collective sense of panic overtook them.

They started to rush toward the red wall of light in a hysterical fit. Quite contrary to what they had expected, the red walls of light were intangible—the stampeding citizens just phased through them.

Those who came behind stopped dead in their tracks as they watched their predecessors phased through the walls. Their mouths were so wide, their expressions were borderline grotesque.

All that was left of those who had rushed through the shroud of light were piles of pinkish skeletons. Their boney frames wobbled a little after crossing through the other side with a soft weak thud, not a single tendon in their body left.

The remaining citizens were beyond appalled. Dread pulled their knees down to the ground as they crashed onto the earth, sobbing and wailing helplessly at their fate.
