Chapter 20: Disaster

Kraftvoll and the others continued their hunt in the Valkyrie Forest while Belle was watching from the sidelines. She came here because she wanted to know about Kraftvoll's recent progress in seishin cultivation. Although the two of them became closer to each other all these years, she can't help but become jealous of Kraftvoll.

Without Kraftvoll, she will be considered the most talented person in her peers in Schild City. Even on the national level, she can be considered top among the talented among her peers because she had affinities in three elements. But given Kraftvoll's six-element affinities, he stole all the spotlight that she was supposed to receive given her top-level talent.

Although Belle came to their hunt, she was not allowed to fight by Stark because of the dangers that might happen to her in doing so.

Stark wouldn't want to face the wrath of Earl Blaire, a mighty seishin practitioner of the Seishin Overlord rank. Even if Stark flees to the ends of the world, he still wouldn't be able to escape his wrath, that's how terrifying it was for Stark.

Hours have passed and the day was almost over. Kraftvoll and the others decided to finish their hunt. "The dawn is upon us. We've already collected many Seishin core and my interspatial storage is nearly full of the seishin carcasses that we have hunted. It's time to go back." said Stark.

Kraftvoll and the others started to go back to Schild City after a day of the hunt. "Kraftvoll, you can go hunting with us once every week as part of your training. And if ever you want to go with us more hunting more than once a week then you are welcome to do so." Stark said.

After hearing what Stark had stated, Kraftvoll nodded in response. Doing this will, not only be a way for Kraftvoll to earn battle experiences but also, give him a chance to earn seishin cores which were beneficial to his cultivation.

As Kraftvoll and the others got nearer and nearer to Schild City, their guts gave them the feeling that something's wrong. These feelings started to grow bigger after they had a slight sight of what was happening in the city.

After getting near enough to the city, a cloud of smoke was visible going up from the direction of the city. This made everyone in Krafvoll's hunting squad feel unease. After a few moments, a wounded soldier came into their direction. "Your Ladyship, thank goodness, you're safe." the wounded soldiers said.

"What happened to the city!?" asked Stark. "Sir Stark, Schild City has been attacked by the Dark Alliance! Currently, Earl Blaire was fighting against two lower seishin overlord rank practitioners. He ordered me to go find you to tell you to bring Her Ladyship, and Kraftvoll to the royal capital, to His Majesty, the King." The soldiers said urgently to Stark while panting from exhaustion.

The wounded soldier continued, "They started attacking the city to find the new prodigy of the Walkiria Kingdom. They killed countless people and destroyed a lot of infrastructures in the city until the Earl stopped them with his mighty power. They brought a Seishin Royalty rank practitioner that made us unable to fight back. The Earl can't even help us because he was occupied fighting the two lower Seishin Overlord practitioners."

"Damnit! All the city's powerhouse soldiers are currently enlisted in the frontlines of the interracial war." Stark cursed.

After hearing the situation, Kraftvoll panicked and quickly ran to the direction of Schild's city. He became extremely worried about his parents' current situation.

"Don't go in there, Kraftvoll! Damnit! Go ahead to Yorkshire City, and tell the situation to Earl Garen. I'll go follow that kid." Stark commanded before leaving them.

"Let's go, my lady!" said the personal guard of Belle. "How about father?" Belle worriedly asked. "The Earl is going to be fine, my lady. He's the peerless experts of our city!" Belle's personal guard said in assurance. Belle nodded in agreement, "Let's go, then."
