Chapter 136 City H
'Frost Lion huh, this beast was strong but not as strong as Dracos was even though it was level 10. Maybe if I had this sword back then my fight with Dracos would have been easier as well.' I thought to myself as I looked at the corpse of the once beautiful lion. I sighed and flew back towards the buses and as I did, I saw that more of the forest was frozen than I thought and I couldn't help but acknowledge the power of the lion.
"You look terrible." Sera said as soon as I landed on the roof of the bus.
"Well yeah, I guess my clothes can't stand my flames." I said while looking at my mostly destroyed clothes but then a thought entered my mind. I have seen Synthia fight a few times and she used had an Affinity to fire just like me but her clothes never gets destroyed. Why is that?
"I was talking about your hand." She said, pointing to my right hand that was still encased in thick ice. I channelled demonic energy into my right hand and activated my [Hell Fire Affinity] and small flames were ignited on my arm and I could feel the ice slowly start to melt.
"Hey I have a question, how come yours and Synthia's clothes don't get destroyed when you guys transform?" I asked and she looked at me confused
"What do you mean?" She asked
"When I transform, my wings and tail rip my clothes apart but when you guys do it, it's almost like your wings just go through your clothes." I said and a look of realization appeared on her face.
"Oh that, I always keep forgetting that you were born here on Earth and not the Underworld." She said and then she lifted her hand, on it was a silver ring with a beautiful blue crystal on it's band.
"This ring is called holy regalia. It basically allows me to create any clothing I can imagine. Since these clothing are created using your energy and imagination, they are custom made and they will fit your body no matter the changes in size or added body parts. Oh, and they are immune to your Affinity and resistant to the attacks of others." She said and I was left thinking, everything she said made sense except that I have never seen Synthia wearing a ring like that and I decided to ask her about it.
"Oh that, holy regalias come in all shapes and forms not just rings. If I remember correctly, Synthia's is a necklace." She said and I nodded her head. I have seen Synthia wearing a silver necklace a few times but I've never really paid any attention to it.

We managed to arrive at City H at late noon, I managed to defrost my hand, although it still felt numb, and also got a military uniform from one of the soldiers. Sera spent her time reading through the diary with an emotionless expression on her face.
'So that's City H.' Just like City J when I first saw it, it looked seemingly untouched but I knew that was unlikely, the next thing that I noticed was that this place was full of red auras, almost a hundred of them, and I could also see a few of them with blue auras tainted with red spots.
"This is going to be tough, we'll have to force our way through, we can't fight all of them with our current numbers." Sera said with a grim expression on her face.
"You should go calm your followers down." If even I felt nervous at what I was seeing, the one's in the buses that can use [Aura Vision] must be downright terrified. Sera sighed and flew into the bus to calm down the panicking people, I decided to fly ahead and see if I can secure a safe path for them but as soon as I arrived at the entrance of the city, I could see a muscular man with black hair, a slightly pale green skin, predatory yellow eyes and green crocodile like tail. He was wearing baggy pants and a sleeveless shirt showing off his bulging muscles, I could feel his predatory gaze on me and I felt cold sweat drip down my face.
'This guy is definitely stronger than Dracos.' I thought
