Chapter 245

Lucky 245 

General Bronal looked up at the sky and confirmed that the sky returned to normal. The red sky could not be seen and the Blood Moon completely vanished. 

The heaviness in his heart disappeared together with the Blood Moon. It might sound obvious but the Blood Moon was something that he was afraid of. Perhaps everyone living on the planet was afraid of the Blood Moon. 

'Our country is protected by the Obice so we are safe. But for the other countries, I'm sure they are suffering right now.'

Especially the poor countries that didn't have the financial ability to protect their citizens. 

That's why a lot of people were hungry to acquire the Obice, to be precise, they were hungry to steal the Fragment of Excalibur which has infinite energy. 

In a way, Bronal was satisfied with how Dellia handled this situation. He was convinced that their country was better compared to the others right now. 

"The most affected are the Border that blocked the monsters from the forest of Death and the Port of Aoneon..."

He mumbled. He was not sure about the Border because the line of communication was destroyed, and he was currently stationed in the Capitolium. 

As for the Port of Aoneon that Bronal was standing on right now, half of the island was impossible to salvage. Still, it was better than nothing. 

After all, building the island cost a lot. Especially the tower that attracts the water-type Aberrants. 

He glanced and found that the tower was standing from afar. It was a good thing that the tower was still intact because that was the most important thing on this island. 

The tower attracts the Aberrants so that the other places would not be affected. 

"In a way, the tower is the reason why half of the island was destroyed. Because it attracts too many monsters."

Well, at least the outcome was not disappointing. 

They save most of the citizens and killed a Demon-God, so it was not that bad. 

Even right now, Bronal could see the soldiers helping the citizens to leave the island. 

Bronal took a step and reached the place where Athena found Scarlett, however...

"Eh?"

He was confused as he found no one. There was no one in the surrounding. 

Except for the melting ice and scorched road, there was nothing to see at all. 

"I thought they are here..."

He was disappointed as he sighed. His worries alleviate but he still had to see his daughter after all.

In the end, they left him on the island. 

"Master!"

Suddenly, a Shadow crawled on the ground and approached Bronal. 

"Where are they?"

"Yuna Garcia took them to the Capitolium, they are going to the hospital."

"Athena is with them?"

"Yes sir!"

"Good."

He nodded. He was satisfied that Athena was there to protect Scarlett. Right now, the Capitolium was far better than the other cities. Only a few monsters attacked the capital and the soldiers could easily subdue them. 

"Shadow, follow them. Make sure that Scarlett is fine."

"As you wish Patriarch."

The Shadow had a coordinate in the capital so he could teleport to the place. The Shadow began vanishing and jumped into another place. 

A few seconds later, Bronal was left behind. A lot of things happened and he had to patch things up. 

He turned around to leave the place, however, he found someone running. 

The guy was breathing hard as he reached the place. 

"You..."

Bronal muttered as he looked at the scar-faced guy. 

"Strange, I thought they were here?"

Devon was confused while looking around. He decided to return when the Bakunawa showed up, he was worried that the others might be attacked by the monster. 

Devon is a true homie. My boy returned just to help Calix. 

"Huh? G- General!"

Devon was shocked as he saw General Bronal standing not too far from him. He immediately raised his right arm and presented a salute. 

"Sergeant Devon Artson, reporting for duty!!"

He was already retired but he still stated his position in front of him. He was nervous. 

"At ease."

"Sir yes sir!!"

"You..."

Bronal narrowed his eyes. 

"Who are you?"

"Eh? Sir, I was under your platoon 18 years ago."

"Is that so?"

Bronal averted his gaze. He didn't remember the guy. Anyway, he changed the topic.

"Sergeant Devon Artson, right?"

"Sir yes sir!!"

"Tell me what happened here."

.........

......

...

On the other part of the planet, people start cheering as they looked at the sky. Their hearts feel reassurance as they confirmed that the Blood Moon was no more. They began celebrating. 

Their surroundings were covered in blood and the debris of destruction could be seen. Yet, their smiles were much wider. Despite knowing that millions of people died, the living ones feel blessed as they know that they were going to see the sunset. 

"Ah, what a waste. I was hoping that it will be a little longer. I want to see more bloodshed."

A woman clicked her tongue when she confirmed that the Blood Moon ended. 

"It was not even half a day and it's already gone."

The woman was disappointed, hundreds of Aberrants were all around her but she didn't appear to be afraid. After all, the monsters were all statues. 

The woman covered her eyes using a scarf and began walking away. In her boring life, the Blood Moon was the only time when she could release all her frustration. 

Since the Blood Moon vanished, the monsters started losing the battle. The source of their strength was no more and one by one, they fall to their death. Nonetheless, those that successfully breakthrough and advanced to a higher rank initiated retreating to control their newly acquired strength.
