Chapter 24: Battle City

They stopped just a meter away, at a high cliff overlooking a distant city surrounded by green lush trees and forests.

"Now I say, we're really lost." Thorn said and he couldn't help looking at Siva on his left.

Volt on their right checked the map in his vision and true enough, the locator signal of the city they were looking at right now said that it was a city that goes by the name of Warjillis.

Siva could only grit his teeth but he couldn't do a thing about it. Their escape from that forest was made in haste and they had less chance to change directions because of the number of the monsters that were hot on their trail.

Truly, the rumors about the north continent being a paradise for monsters were not a joke.

Even without Siva's Killing Zone, just as soon as they stepped in the lands outside of that forest, they were immediately chased around by the slowworms and frozen salamanders. Both were at the peak of the A-Rank monster list and were herding types of monsters –those who like to group together when hunting for food.

Thus, with how Siva was in a hurry... they had no time to fight them and so immediately used Volt's Cyclone to escape the area.

Good thing that the base of that mountain forest was in an altitude that allowed the use of the Cyclone. Till a few days ago that they ran out of Firestones to fuel the cyclone engines, they were now forced to use their next fastest mode of travel to get away.

The Walled City of Warjillis is actually located further north west of the City of Dragona.

"It's because of that Snow Giant!"

Siva cursed but he knew that even if they resisted, even adding all their luck fighting that monster head on, they would still ultimately be defeated.

That Snow Giant is a Dragon Race descendant, after all. It may still be too far offed on evolving into a complete Dragon Kin but given that it has its blood roots into the Dragon Race, its might is still too formidable than even 10 Forest Dragons that he once fought in Hagonoy combined.

Eyes blazing with determination, Siva clenched his fist as he stared at the city upfront.

If one hadn't seen a megalopolis before, then one can start imagining a megalopolis now.

The sheer size of this city can be measured with a thought by just imagining how a seemingly infinite number of buildings and roads were all stacked and lined together to stretch further into the horizons... even further beyond what the eyes could see!

If the Port City of Dragona was the same size as twice the size of Manhattan and covered most of the coastal stretch of the southeastern region of Tiara, then imagine five times the size of that... and add the fact that it's only what the eye could see at the moment... you might even begin thinking that Warjillis was an exaggeration of the word "humongous" in every meaning.

But no... Warjillis is, in fact, still too small when compared to the Castle City of Jeremiah back in the continent of Zenturo –the world recognized biggest city in Terroa.

Looking at this scene, Thorn murmured upon himself, "According to records, Warjillis is Top 19 in the world's biggest known cities!"

Although right now they were deep in the snowy regions of the Continent of Tiara, this city can still be called a paradise for it was surrounded not by the endless white of snow but of the green of forest and the scintillating aurora light curtain dancing from above.
