Chapter 172 VOLCANO
Back to Sean’s group, at the moment, they arrived back to Zone Z but their expressions are quite ugly.
In front of them were the destroyed army base of City Z1, what left behind was utter destruction.
"This was caused by the undead race, if I’m not wrong, the corpses are either used to replenish their numbers or strengthen themselves."
"No, no, no! I don’t believe the base is destroyed, the commander, yes, the commander wouldn’t sit and let it get destroyed!" Xi Mu roars, his emotion is actually resonates with those from City Z1.
Sean sighs. "That would be the case if he’s here, if I’m not wrong, the Innates are called back to the Core Zone, that meant, it includes your commander."
They turn pale and they can’t help but fall in their knees in despair.
"Let’s continue, John, points us to the direction of your city!"
John quickly leads them to City Z2, seeing that the city is still standing, everyone was relieved and their hope can’t help but rise.
Their cities are probably safe too if even the closest city to City Z1 is still standing.
Sean’s expression is the only one that’s still ugly, he didn’t lower the cloud and didn’t even stop.
"What are you doing!? We should-" Jericho grabs her, even though his rank is lower than her, his status is quite special.
"Sean, can you tell us what you discovered?"
"That city is now being controlled by an organization similar to Genetic Upgrade, the city is basically their testing site, currently, I can’t fight them without risking the lives of the people in the city."
Everyone was shocked, John’s expression turns pale.
They continue, when they saw the state of City Z3, their expressions turns bleak, unlike City Z2, there’s nothing left in their city.
They continue, City Z6, Z7, Z8, Z9, and Z10 were all destroyed.
When they arrive at City Z4, they were shocked, a giant ice covers the city, seemingly protecting it.
Seeing the ice, Witch cries bitterly, it was the supreme skill of their lineage but using it cost the user and the people that was with her during the ritual their lives.
Frost and the two surviving students from their city was also crying.
"You guys must return and help stabilize the situation."
"We can’t, the ice they use is everlasting ice, it can’t be thawed by normal means and it locks the entire place."
"Don’t worry, I have the perfect person to deal with such a thing."
"Dorgaron, it’s your time to shine!"
Dorgaron was confused as to why he was summoned, after listening to his master’s explanation, he turns his gaze to the ice dome and with a thought, a part of it transforms into water but his expression changes.
"Hurry! Using this skill on such a high level magic technique is very draining!"
Frost grabs her students and throws them inside, turns to the people and flash a smile before diving too.
Seeing that they managed to return to their home, the rest can’t help but feel gloomy and envious.
"Don’t worry, we’ll rescue your city, we just need to regroup in our city and create a plan."
He turns Bear and the others. "Don’t worry, we will find the ones that destroyed your city and avenge the people that were killed if there’s some of them that are captured, we’ll rescue them."
Bear and the others can only believe him, they are actually trying to fool themselves, if they don’t do this, they’re going to be depressed.
Sean was relieved that they seem to be believing in his words, without hesitation, he wills time cloud to travel as fast as they can, no longer stopping.
Those from City Z5 were worried that their cities had also suffered just like the others.
"Don’t worry, have you forgotten? Jasmine and the two bunny sisters were sent back in advance!" Jericho quickly snaps them out of their state.
"What do you mean!?" Hina grabs him and asks him while shaking him.
Sean is too focused to notice all of this, Jericho looks at the girls for help, thankfully, Missel decided to help her boyfriend.
"Before we arrive at the Core Zone, sensei has told Jasmine, Scorchy, and Bun Bun to return to our city ahead of us, don’t be afraid, Jasmine is currently as strong as Sean, she has broken through gold rank!"
Hina can’t help but gulp, she didn’t expect that the fox back then would transform into a powerhouse comparable to that of an Innate.
"Scorchy and Bun Bun are also not weak, you might not know but they are known as our human race war generals, especially Bun Bun! She’s as strong as big brother Wuk."
Tsu smiles, she has accepted those girls as her adopted children, hearing someone praise them makes her proud.
It didn’t take long for them and they return to their city in just two days, seeing that there some traces of destruction, the expression of everyone changes.
Jasmine flies towards them, she was relieved that Sean has returned.
The cloud slowly descends, the people below were nervous but seeing Jasmine smiling, they feel relieved.
The protector of their city is the moon goddess, they don’t really know her, they just knew that she and her sister are staying in a house that doesn’t have anyone and are quite close to Gold Family, Black Ape Dojo, and Evergreen Family, especially the latter.
"You have grown stronger, what did you do?" Looking at the person in front of him, he was a bit startled.

Her innate trait, Blessed By the Moon has some changes and it was a shocking one.
Blessed by the Moon (Unique): Under the moonlight, the user exhibits strength comparable to one rank higher than her rank.
Charming Skulks (Active): Use the power of the moon to transform vixens into demon foxes capable of human transformations.
There’s also a new skill that is considered a buff.
Soul Stirring (Unique): Use charm to increase the power of male targets.
"You really are quite competitive, aren’t you?" He knows why she has learned this skill and why her trait has also undergone some changes.
She wants to create her own power and it seems that she had chosen her race.
"Where’s your two little sister?" He’s confused, he knows that they can sense his presence if he’s nearby.
"Scorchy is mapping out the area and Bun Bun is now fighting against any hostile entities nearby."
"That’s good, after all, we’re going to increase the size of this city to host the survivors of the other city."
He doesn’t believe that everyone died during the invasion, there’s definitely some stragglers amongst them.
"Sean, if you’re going to create a rescue team, I want to join!" Bear hurriedly shouts, his expression is full of desperation.
"I want to join too!" Xi Mu also shouts.
"Me too!"
"Count me in!"
"I’m going to join!"
The soldiers also wants to join, the brotherhood they have with the other soldiers made them feel intense grief after seeing the state of their base but knowing their training, they hope that some of them manage to survive.
"Good, then, we will try to rescue as many people as we can but of course, we will reward those that joined such cause."
"Before we can create the guild, you should rest in the city while we try to create some sort of rules and regulations for such power."
As he lands on the ground, people rushes towards him, they were people that he knows.
Dorothy, Priscel, Flowery and the lady Evergreen.
Reina and her father, Zack.
Nima and also her father, Harold.
Jericho’s relatives.
Also, there are people that he doesn’t know but are family members of the students.
Masamyushi, Kommi’s father, the orphanage nun that raised Sweet Fruit, the members of the Ignacia Family and the relatives of the other students.
The reunion is filled with tears and cheers, Sean smiles and let them be, he knows that they just missed each other.
"Let’s go home." Hina grabs his hand and looks at him with a hopeful gaze.
He sighs. "You guys go home, I need to facilitate the others first, they just suffered the grief of losing their homes and families, I don’t want to be insensitive to just leave them be."
His words snaps his family of their melancholic state, they look at Bear and the others with guilt and pity.
"Bring me to the city lord." Everyone was stunned by his words, they look at Jasmine with odd expressions.
"He’s dead, plotted by a hidden member of the Genetic Upgrade, if we hadn’t returned just in time, there would be no city left."
"The city lord was killed!?" He was shocked, so was the other students.
"Who killed him!?" He quickly asks, the students also prick their ears.
"Black market leader, Nightmare, he’s actually a member of the Genetic Upgrade, he ambushed the city lord while he was keeping the others at bay."
Taking a deep breath, he was shaken, so was everyone else, they can’t believe that the long time elite gold ranker of their city is actually a traitor, a member of Sean’s most hated power no less.
"Hmph! He should be glad that he’s dead or else." His killing intent suddenly surges out of his body, enveloping the area around them.
Everyone becomes silent while those that have weak wills faints.
"Hold yourself!" Bear grabs him, his killing intent recedes.
"What about the rest of the elite gold rankers? Are all of them clean?"
"Flame Emperor died after fighting against the traitor, in fact, every single one of the elite gold rankers in the city were killed, they were targeted first during the invasion, currently, I serve as the city lord."
"You’re the city lord?" He was stunned once again.
"Yes, everyone appointed me, I can’t refuse their pleas."
"Then, just be the city lord, you just need to practice your clone skill and let it serve as the city lord in the future, while you’re at it, facilitate the stay of Bear and the others, their city has been destroyed and they might be staying here for a long time."
"We can actually go home." He smiles gently, he turns to Ganko and Chika.
"I’m going to rest for a few couple of days and I’m going to your homes to propose to your parents!"
His loud shout startles everyone, only the two girls blushes knowing what he meant.
Their group finally walks back to their home, the scene of destruction can be seen everywhere as they get closer to the center of the city.
"So many people were killed by the traitors of humanity, I don’t know why they are doing this." Yana sighs.
"For their desires, for them, anything and everyone is nothing but a way or a hindrance for them to obtain greater power."
The Genetic Upgrade was once an offshoot of scientists that only wants to help humanity grow but their research was stolen and copied by the very people they are fighting against, those poor souls might not be able to rest in peace knowing their kind intention was turned into weapons against their own race.
A ball of flame appears in the sky and lands in front of Sean.
"Master!" Scorchy’s eyes lights up and she leaps towards him.
Looking at her happy expression, he knows that she has discovered something good.
