From MC's perspective:
After killing everyone, I felt more relieved. I should have done this before. Then shaking my head, I walked out of the mansion.
Outside, the condition was even worse. There are mutilated bodies everywhere. Then I saw Jonathan standing leisurely under the tree.
"Let's go and meet the City Lord. Except the women, children, and elderly. Everyone is dead," Jonathan said.
Hearing that my eyes flickered with complex emotions.
Jonathan saw through his thoughts.
"We will ask the City Lord to provide them with the shelter," Jonathan added.
Hearing that I nodded my head at him.
Swish!
Then we rose from the ground and in a blink of an eye, we came to the huge mansion. When we got there.
The patrol guards are not allowed to enter inside. But we ignored everyone and went directly inside.
After witnessing our flight ability, the guards are petrified. When we walked into the hall. We saw the City Lord was already waiting for us.
"Two, esteemed Lords. Thank you for coming to our city," The City Lord said.
There is no one else besides him.
"You know us?" Jonathan asked.
The City Lord broke out in a cold sweat before replying, "I received the death news of Red Stone City's City Lord some time ago."
"Now the next heir of the former crimson hall's family is dead. So I guessed 2 Lords might be coming here."
An appreciative look flashes in Jonathan's eyes.
He didn't expect this City Lord to be this attentive.
"Well, don't worry. We won't do anything to you. But you have to take care of Crimson Hall's elders, women, and children," Jonathan said.
Hearing that, the City Lord shuddered. His bad premonition came true. When he first heard about Ronald's death. He knew former Crimson Hall members' family would meet their death soon.
But he didn't expect the situation to come true.
Then he fiercely nodded his head.
"Alright, we can leave. I don't want to waste time here," I said to Jonathan.
Then we both left the place.
Flying in the mid-air.
Jonathan asked, "It would take some time to investigate Henrick. What do you want to do now?"
My eyes flickered.
I replied, "I want to go back to the academy."
Jonathan was surprised. He thought Zack would spend more time with his family. Then thinking about Hansen's destruction.
He understood the reason.
Soon, we reached the white snow city. Jonathan stayed back. I entered the house to bid goodbye to Uncle James.
"Are you leaving?" James asked. He thought Zack would stay here for some time.
"Yes, uncle. I decided to go back," I replied. I knew it must be hard for him. But I have to wipe out the remaining remnants.
"Okay, but don't forget about your parents' identity. If you have time, you should look for their background," James stressed.
He remembered It was reported in the Army Federation that many descendants from influential forces had entered many outposts to train.
At that time he thought the information was fake. But only after coming across Zack's parents' background check. He understood the truth.
On the other hand, I shook my head in denial. I still don't believe his words. But for his sake, I nodded my head at him.
Then I went back to my room to pay for things.
A few minutes later,
I appeared outside after bidding goodbye to Uncle James.
Meanwhile,
Beyond the boundary, there is one of the luxurious Tier-6 cities. This city is different from other Academy's Tier-6 cities.
Here the main force is the Parazam Hunter League. There are other small and big merchant organizations operating in this city.
Apart from this, there are families connected to these organizations established in this city.
Among them, the Palmer Family is one of the major families connected to the Parazam Hunter League.
People from this family are working for the Parazam Hunter League. The head of the family is part of the inner circle.
At this time, the head of the family is visiting the Parazam Hunter League's office. But before he could enter the office.
He saw his son rushing towards him. Looking at his son's worried expression. He paused his movement.
"Henrick, what are you doing here?" He asked.
"Father, I heard someone wiped out former Crimson Hall members," Henrick said in a solemn tone.
He is aware of Hansen's destruction. He was the one who ordered it. But before doing that he had to make sure that no trouble would follow.
Palmer furrowed his eyebrows. He recalled the events that happened 3 months ago. At that time, his son had collected various treasures from some source.
But the source demanded the removal of his enemies instead of money. To prove himself, his son readily agreed to it.
Now, seeing that his son is having trouble. Palmer has guessed his son has missed something in that plan.
"You told me there is no backer for that small organization. So what happened now?" He asked.
"This?" Henrick hesitated. Looking around, he saw people roaming around here. Any strong warrior can easily listen to their conversation.
Palmer saw through his son's thoughts. He then decided to return home with his son.
10 minutes later,
In his study room, he asked his son again.
Henrick answered, "The Hansen Academy was small. But one of their students has managed to get into Viper Academy."
The next second, Palmer's expression becomes dignified. He is not thinking about the student. But about the Viper Academy.
The Viper Academy is known for protecting its students. On top of it, the Viper Academy has a strong backer behind them.
"Army Federation," He said in his heart.
His expression turned ugly. The atmosphere becomes solemn for a moment.
A small sweet bead appeared on his forehead.
"Father, what happened?" Henrick asked.
Palmer's thoughts returned to reality.
He looked at his son and said, "Don't worry, that student may not know you. He must have heard about the destruction of the academy."
"He won't be able to find you," Palmer said with a smile.
Hearing that Henrick felt relaxed. But they don't know both have heavily miscalculated.
When Henrick left the room. Palmer frowned.
Even though he assured his son. He doesn't want to make the slightest mistake.
He then ordered his subordinate to come.
A few minutes later,
A Super Elite Rank Warrior walked into the room.
"Family Head," He greeted Palmer.
Palmer looked at him before saying, "I want you to collect details about a student named Zack Lockwood studying in the Viper Academy."
Hearing that Super Elite Warrior nodded his head before leaving the room.
Time flies,
Jonathan and I returned to the Tier-6 region a few hours later. Soon, we reached the Viper Academy.
After landing in front of the dormitory, I started walking towards my room. On the other hand, Jonathan left to continue the investigation.
The next day,
I woke up earlier. After doing the morning routine, I entered the training room to cultivate.
After arriving in the middle of the platform, I sat down cross-legged. Then I took the Class-6 Monster Core from my storage ring and held it in my hand.
Then I started to run the blood element method. The next moment, the bloody rune in my mind starts to flicker.
Slowly, I started to absorb the monster's energies from the monster's core. When the energy entered my body.
A red light appears above the bloodstream.
Then the red light starts to convert the monster's core energies into mysterious white energies.
The next moment, the white energy starts drilling into my bones. A heart-wrenching pain quickly followed.
Right now, all of my bones are dyed red. I don't know what the next operation of the blood element method is.
Slowly, I saw the process. When the skull was completely dyed red. I saw the process was continued again. Like a 2nd layer. I feel more blood energy from the 2nd layer.
Seeing that a hint of surprise flashes in my eyes. If my guess is right, then I can draw more formidable energy from bones.
Then I continued to repeat the process,
3 hours later,
The monster core in my hands crumbled into pieces. Then I opened my eyes to check myself.
I saw black filth covering my skin. Then I stood up from the platform and walked out of the training room.
Then I went to take a bath.
20 minutes later,
I changed to an academy uniform. After getting ready, I walked out of the dormitory room. Then I started walking towards the dining hall.
On the way, I couldn't help but think of yesterday's event. I thought the trip to my hometown would be fruitful.
But instead, it wounded my heart.
"Elder Thornton, students, teachers, and staff," I said in my heart.
I paused my movement before removing the distracting thoughts from my mind. I have to wait for Jonathan to complete his investigation.
Then I resumed walking towards the dining hall. When I arrived at the dining hall, I saw Laverne and Ernest. Seeing them made me feel better.
