Chadwick was running out of the stadium. Suddenly, he and Marco bumped at each other.

Marco smiled and said,

"Oh! Good thing! We need hel—"

But Chadwick shoved him away and started running away.

"Boss‼ Boss‼ Why are you running away??"

Chadwick stopped and looked behind

"You're just insects the I could replace anytime, why would I risk my life for you?"

Chadwick continued running away with the rest of the civilians. Marco looked at his back for a few seconds and then turned around to go deeper into the stadium. Meanwhile, Mikael and Katarina were running out of the stadium together while being chased by several cloaked figures. Mikael was the one facing them from time to time while Katarina was supporting him from behind. As they managed to get outside the stadium, they ran into Dylan.

"Oh‼ Mr. Lizard‼" Dylan said.

"Hi kid, good thing you managed to survive," Mikael replied.

"This ain't surviving..."

Dylan pointed at something in the open. It was Takasugi on the ground, cowering in fear, while there was a man wielding a bat protecting him. It was the low human, Hashimoto Rei.

Rei was already severely injured with his head already dripping blood. He may have managed to fight against Murdock, but fighting against multiple high humans was not an easy task for a low human. Seeing that, Mikael and Katarina immediately joined the fight. They thought that going outside the stadium was safer, but Yujin was right. Outside the stadium was filled with open spaces that enemies could come out in multiple directions. The group managed to fight against high humans. Suddenly, Mikael smelled something.

"Hey, what is th— Shit! Run away!"

Mikael screamed upon seeing a fireball coming at them. They managed to jump away, but the explosion managed to hit them. The students started coughing. Dylan said,

"What is that?"

Another cloaked figured appeared. He approaching them while casting another celestic circle. The man noticed the downed Mikael and said,

"Oh, so I hit a hybrid. That's why they survived. He received most of the damage."

Katarina quickly used her scanning noctian. Upon applying, he looked at Rei and whispered,

"On his right foot. His bones were already damaged, you can hit that."

Rei immediately stood up and threw his bat at it. But nothing happened. The man started laughing.

"Hahahaha, you thought those petty tricks would work on me?"

After saying, the man removed his cloaked and revealed himself to be another hybrid. His body looked like stones forged together that his legs managed to withstand Rei's bat. The Stoneman aimed his hand at them and it started heating up. He was trying to release another fireball. He unleashed it at them while they tried to run.

Suddenly, the earth shattered. Gigantic plants came out and ate the fireball, protecting the students. Catheryn appeared flying on top of the plants. She snapped her fingers and more plants appeared all over the ground. Suddenly, the plants also started heating up and then it unleashed flames at the Stoneman. The rock soldiers screamed,

"What the hell!?"

He tried to run, but upon turning around, he saw his soldiers couldn't breathe. Suddenly, he also couldn't breathe. He noticed a thick fog approaching them, covering the area. Inside the mist, a kid started walking out of it. It was Mark Bonsworth, a fellow Arukan student. The rock soldier managed to hold his breath. He stood up and faced Mark. Mark raised his fist and tried to punch the soldier. The soldier said,
