Leaving The City!

The footsteps of Damon who approached Yu Ang were nothing less than the sound of approaching death.

Amidst the sea of fire, Damon's tall figure appeared in front of the fallen Yu Ang, who was now on his knees, unable to speak or comprehend anything.

His back crouched down as his left hand grabbed Yu Ang's long hair under his cloak, pulling him up. Damon looked straight into Yu Ang's unwilling eyes as the bandages on Yu Ang's face began to fall, revealing his hideous figure.

"What did you achieve?" Damon asked in a calm voice as he raised his sword and placed its pointed edge on Yu Ang's neck.

"Tell me, what did you achieve? What did you gain by killing so many people? Adults, the aged, and even the kids?"

"What did you gain by this foolish massacre? And for whom?"

The sword in Damon's hand pressed harder against Yu Ang's neck, and the pointed edge began to pierce through the skin as blood started to slowly dribble down his body.

Facing his very death, Yu Ang's eyes were full of unwillingness, but the madness within him couldn't be hidden amidst it.

Without even giving Yu Ang a chance to speak, Damon drove his sword with full force, piercing his neck. The hilt of the sword finally stopped at the base of Yu Ang's neck, while the entire blade protruded from his back. Blood dripped from his neck without pause as the sword ignited with fire that spread through his lifeless body.

The sea of fire slowly retreated back into Damon's body as the dark hall returned to its previous state, burned thoroughly with cracks and holes all over, a reminder of the destruction it had witnessed.

Damon's four bodyguards, whom he had brought with him, completed their missions. The dark beasts nurtured by the Black Vatican, now without a master to command them, froze in place like statues twisting and contorting as they began to melt into dark viscious liquid.

"Let's leave"

***

The calamity of Bo City soon came to an end. The army forces wiped out the general and servant-class beasts within the city, while Zhang Kong and others took care of the Dark Wings Wolf Beast that had waited at the tower.

Backup from outside the city arrived soon, and the civilians were finally rescued.

The city was destroyed, and more than 20,000 people lost their lives to this event.

The number of deaths was lower than in the original plot, but still significant enough to be remembered by the survivors.

The infrastructure was severely damaged, forcing many to leave the city and seek refuge elsewhere.

Some significant changes also occurred in the plot. A rogue member of the Black Vatican attacked the students and took the underground holy spring for himself successfully, without killing any kids.

He Yu survived and finally confessed her feelings for Zhang Xiaohou. For the students, things ended relatively better than fate had planned for them.

But for the army, the situation only worsened. The underground holy spring was stolen but not used. High-level teams were formed to locate the cloaked individual using the fire and plant elements.

Previously, they had thought the Black Vatican would use the water to attract stronger and more dangerous beasts, but the man just disappeared with it, raising several doubts about the true intentions of the Black Vatican.

Yu Ang's and Bai Yang's betrayal came to the surface, causing a huge backlash for the Mu family, who were once the overlords of Bo City but had now become the object of scorn due to Yu Ang's involvement.

A large-scale investigation based on the list of traitors provided by Damon was carried out, with many arrests. Mu He, one of the people Damon had identified as a 'potential member,' was arrested on suspicion, though there wasn't enough evidence. While the impact wasn't as great as the disaster in Xi'an, it still dealt a huge blow to Mu Zhuoyun.

Ye Xinxia was also rescued this time, relatively easily, by Mo Fan, with no dark beasts chasing him as in the original plot.

All seemed better than before, but how could heaven let go of the chance for Mo Fan's character development...

"Father! Hic… hic…"

Under the dark sky of Bo City, Mo Fan, Ye Xinxia, and their aunt cried with all their tears as they sat beside his dead body.

Mo Jiaxing had heroically sacrificed his life to save Mo Fan's uncle as they returned to Snowy Peak Stronghold, under attack by berserk beasts.

The things that weren't supposed to happen had now become reality. The fate of the world had changed, and the future was now in chaos.

The knowledge of the plot and the future now held no value, as Damon was left to survive on his own.

"Boss, here, take this." The wind ran wild as the helicopter landed on the ruined lands of Bo City. Sky Eagle beasts surrounded the helicopter, and men in uniform sat atop them.

Xiao Yan, one of the five bodyguards Damon had hired who hadn't taken part in the mission to kill the Black Vatican members, handed Damon a small vial of clear liquid.

"Spring water…" Damon muttered to himself as he took the vial, placing it into his storage dimension.

"Thank you," Damon nodded as he thanked Xiao Yan before turning his back and walking toward the helicopter, ready to take off.

Damon had hired five bodyguards for his safety while living in Bo City. Xiao Yan was the one tasked with attacking Mo Fan and taking the spring water for Damon.

Whup-Whup-Whup.

The rotor blades rotated with full power as the helicopter slowly lifted off the ground.

The five bodyguards turned to look at the departing Damon. Their figures entered the black car they had been provided and left the city simultaneously with him.

Under Damon's watchful eyes from the sky, he observed the group of bodyguards who had protected him during the calamity as they left.

The underground holy spring, the quadruple elemental talents… all of Damon's secrets they carried with them as they departed from the city and the world.

Boom!
