Although they didn't travel with Maria and Lann, Mark and Henrik continued supporting each other as they advanced towards the upper levels of Yan'an.
However, the scene they expected, where "everyone would run towards the higher Church Town," was not what they encountered.
The road to Church Town was eerily quiet.
Flames were burning, buildings were collapsing, and the air was thick with a suffocating smoky smell and... the scent of blood.
"Splash~"
Mark and Henrik were nearly in a daze as they looked down at the ripples in the water caused by their footsteps.
So much water in a city where fires were out of control should have been something to be grateful for, but the problem was... this liquid was blood!
The passage to Church Town was not yet fully repaired, with only a brick road squeezed between the mountain rocks on both sides.
And the massive amount of blood made Mark and Henrik almost mistake it for a puddle.
"What on earth is happening here..."
