《Devour》Chapter 20: The Call
Advertisement
While helping everyone in the colosseum, the principal's holographic phone rings, and the four figures with dignified expressions in the other line started to show up one by one.
"We have a problem! The Blood Moon Cult attacked major cities, sects, tribes, including schools," said the Dragon School's principal. (Top 1 School)
"My school only survived thanks to my wife... She sacrifices herself to save everyone," said the Promise Land School's principal while tears roll down his face. (Top 2 School)
"My School gathered enough Intel before the attack and activated our protective shield just in time of the attack and minimized casualties," said the Apparition School's principal even many people died in the hands of the cult. (Top 4 School)
"Also, our intelligence gathered information that the Nether Sect and Barbarian tribe joined with this Blood Moon Cult to get powerful... This means war! Hope everyone is ready," the principal from Black Turtle School angrily shouts. (Top 5 School)
"Yes, and we need to prepare for what comes next," Hell School's principal said
All sects and tribes, big or small, declare war on Nether Sect, Barbarian Tribe, and Blood Moon Cult. The State despatch soldiers to the front line while the schools send students they know can help with the war effort. Students can do special missions like assassination, taking small enemy camps, and blocking supply routes.
It is an excellent opportunity for all selected students to gain life experience like honing their skills, and they don't need to hold back anymore.
Before Mr. and Mrs. De Vil left, they told the principal that if their son picks his teammates or decided something outrageous, he must comply since the De Vil family helps the school eliminate the invader.
"Buddy, the Patriarch of the family, called us. So Ma and I need to comply with the request," Mr. De Vil said to Jio, "We are on the run for a very long time, and sooner or later, they will find us. Your Ma and I decided to contact them first and return."

"I'll be okay, Pa. I still need to say goodbye to Ma or else..." Jio replies since Mr. De Vil already told him before about them running away from the De Vil family.
"I know; you still remember about our family?" Mr. De Vil asks.
"Yes, I still remember. A very dangerous family in the continent Ailar," Jio answers
"That's good enough for me," Mr. De Vil said
After Jio talked to Mrs. De Vil, they gave him supplies he can utilize during the war and told him to be careful. They believe in Jio, and they don't want to leave him here all alone, but they must. Jio gives one black marble each to his parents, the same as his sworn brothers and sister, and explains what it can do.
Jio and his brothers and sister send Mr. and Mrs. De Vil goodbyes and head to the principal's office and talk about their plans during this war. They want to go together on a mission, but their family or tribe wanted them to return home.
Jio walks out of the office, cutting all ties with the school.
The group went out for the last time before they part ways and hope to meet again in the future.
Five months later,
A black skull mask man with a scythe cuts three cult members' heads while the remaining member tries to run and beg for mercy, "Reaper.. yo.... you're the Reaper, right? I promise you; I can give you anything you want!"
The cult member tries his best, but the Reaper splits the man into two, and the blood splashes everywhere. This way, the Blood Moon Cult receives the Reaper's message that he doesn't believe in mercy.
The Reaper then walks into the shadows and disappears without a trace. The skull mask slowly melts out of his face, and it's none other than Jio. A door with a special mechanism opens in the middle of a cliff, and Jio holds the key to open it. The door opens, and around ten people with different uniforms talk about the war and making names on their own since the war broke out.

"Have you heard, Dino and Kiba with other ten people just destroy the 4th strongest stronghold of Blood Moon Cult," One girl said to her friends while Jio listens as he walks.
"Oh, men...you heard the Angel of Dawn?" Some guy said to his friend in the opposite corner of the room.
"You mean Aera of Midas family?" The man replies.
"Yes... Apparently, she's with a guy already, and he's strong," The other man let out.
Jio feels happy after hearing all his sworn brothers' and sister's stories.
Everyone shuts their mount, and everyone stands in attention.
"In the next few weeks, we will take over a stronghold that supplies the front line according to the intel we received this morning... Also, this mission would be difficult and our last mission in this area, after this we move location to a less dangerous place," The leader of this particular group announces.
