Unaware of what had happened in Red Lightning City, the two young men hopped up and down the trees to the meeting hall. Both of them paid full attention to their surroundings and were on the lookout for any dangerous incidents. Still, nothing happened and they arrived at the meeting center.

  After Alan and Jack landed in the meeting center, they took a deep breath and started walking, while Jack turned his head and started to examine the nearby stone pillars. This place was really ancient and definitely special. Not only was it the highest concentration of emotional energy on the island. It was also the center of the island.

  "I didn't expect this kind of danger the last time we were here, life is really interesting."

  Alan also turned his head and looked into Jack's eyes. Although Alan had killed Hunters many times, Jack was only 17 or 18 years old. He had faced Hunters, too, but that danger was nothing compared to what he was facing now. Back then, thanks to Kai's seal, no one's development base was revealed. Now there were so many half-step Step 2s of terrifying power.

  "Maybe the next time we come here, we will face a much greater danger. Don't get tired thinking about the future. There is nothing you can do about it."

  Jack shook his head and looked at Alan.

  "It's not the possibility of a greater danger next time that I'm afraid of. It's that there won't be a next time..." Jack said and fell silent. Alan thought the same but didn't say it. Anyone could die at any moment, a city could disappear in a day or with a wave of a hand. Only power could decide that. If they could have power, then they could control their destiny.

  Jack and Alan entered the conference room. There were 26 other people like them inside. Alan and Jack froze when they saw this number. Like them, the other academies were staring at the floor. Even though they had heard that the hunters were here, they had been confident in their numbers, but now that they realized the frightening number, they were afraid.

  There were only 13 academies left.

  "When did we become so few? Are there really only 13 academies left? "

  Jack's voice caught the thoughts of the people. Everyone was thinking the same thing, but they couldn't put it into words.

  "They destroyed over 40 academies in 3 months. Maybe they were after the academies for even longer than three months. It's too bad it took us so long to realize it."

  This was said by a Legendary Leader named Dani. He was the Legendary Leader of Blood Sand Academy. Standing next to him was Alain, the King of Lies. His face was also covered with a rarely seen serious expression.

  "In that case, the World Tournament can no longer continue. The dead can no longer be resurrected. The formations will be destroyed. We must unite and destroy the Hunters!"

  It was Klaus who spoke. He was the youngest of the 13 Legendary Leaders, but he was also the strongest. He had reached the peak of the Purple Lightning.

  "Join forces?!! We must leave this island immediately! We need to swim to land and avoid as many casualties as possible. We must at least build a ship!"

  The speaker pounded on the table, but his hands trembled. He was afraid and didn't try to hide it. He was the fat and cowardly one. It was his fate to die first. As far as he was concerned, they should run away right now.

  "We can't do that. It's too hard to swim from the island to the mainland! It's too far! And we have a bigger problem!"

  The speaker was a young man with a shotgun. Among the developers, those who used projectile weapons were a minority, but some projectile weapons could be mana weapons. These weapons would not last long though.

  Alan frowned and looked at the map of Sky Island. There was one very important point where they had to go straight to land.

  "The Bermuda Triangle!"

  The Bermuda Triangle was steeped in legend. Ordinary people didn't know about it, but developers and hunters knew what it was. The monsters there were terrifying even for people at the 6th level. It was nothing but a dream that they could pass through there and survive.

  Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.

  "So what can we do? We must do something to solve this problem! As soon as possible!"

  After Ramas spoke, everyone was lost in thought. Every moment they stayed here was dangerous. They had to hurry, come up with a plan, and get back to their city quickly. If the hunters discovered them, it would be hard for them to survive. Even Kai couldn't defeat one of them. He could only run away.

  "I think... Let's go to Atlantia... " Jack had the last word, but no one spoke and some of them even started to glow. Because if they went to Atlantia, they had a chance to survive.

  Atlantia was a large city on the tip of the Sky Island. It was probably the capital of the area before the island rose into the sky. It has a large enough area to house 13 academies at the same time. Most importantly, it was a city with very strong defenses and very strong walls. Because it had such good characteristics, no academy took it. After all, whoever took the strong city would have a huge advantage, and the other academies would not let that happen, so they would unite to destroy the academy that moved into that city. Who would do such a stupid thing?

  Jack's main reason for suggesting this city was its distance from the hunters. Atlantia was a long way from where the hunters were. It would be easy to move.

  "That makes sense. Let's move all the academies there. Our defenses will be maximized and we can hold out until we are strong enough to take them on."

  Klaus spoke one last time and the other tables nodded in agreement. Everyone agreed that this safe route was the right choice.

  "Get all the academies there as soon as possible. Don't forget to put on your cloaks, that's the only way we can recognize you. "

  Finally, the meeting was over and everyone took a deep breath. They couldn't fight the hunters with their current powers. Atlantia was a mysterious place. They could not imagine what treasures might be hidden in the capital. After all, it was not only the capital before Sky Island. It was also the capital after the Sky Island began to fly.

  Alan stood up, folded the cloak he was wearing, and put it in the bag on his back. Their title cloak was white and in this case it would draw too much attention when it should be hidden. In the same way, Jack folded his own cloak and put it in his bag.

  "We're leaving. Don't wait too long-”

  BOOOOOOOOOOMMM!!!

  CRACK!!

  (...)

  Suddenly the roof of the meeting hall, a sacred place, collapsed and something fell on the large table of the meeting hall. Everyone jumped back and drew their weapons as the table exploded into pieces. No one could see anything as dust and smoke billowed around them, relying entirely on their sixth sense.

  "I didn't expect there to be so much food here, this looks like it's going to be really fun!"

  The dust cleared and a hideous figure emerged from behind it. This figure had four arms and a pair of eyes. Its ears looked strange, and a disgusting stench emanated from its body. It was like the living dead.

  This hunchbacked man looked weak, but his body radiated unimaginable power. Upon realizing this, the developers tightened their grip on their weapons.

  "You bastard! You dare to call us food, you must be hungry for death! Let me feed you!"

  This was the pretty blonde girl next to the cowardly fat man. Unlike the cowardly fat man, she was brave and rushed forward. She wanted to prove her strength by killing that monster.

  But at that moment, one of the monster's extra eyes moved and looked at her.

  "Wrong move..."

  Moving faster than she could see, the monster suddenly turned and ripped off both of her arms, but before she could scream, another hand grabbed her tongue and pulled it out. As blood poured from her mouth, the monster bit down and ate her arms and tongue before her eyes. It wanted to eat her whole, but she was dead, drowned in her own blood. It could not eat the limbs of a dying person. It was of no use to him.

  But the sudden threat of death behind him spurred the beast into action again. This time there was someone who moved much faster than the other girl. Even more frightening, the monster was completely blinded.

  "Misty Thief!"

  Ramas said through clenched teeth. Like the others, he wanted to seize this opportunity and move forward to kill the monster. The monster was blinded. They were all about to attack and kill it with all their might when something happened that no one expected.

  The monster suddenly turned and hit Jack hard in the stomach before he could dodge. Jack's eyes opened wide and he vomited a glass full of blood. Just as he was about to fly into the wall, something even more terrifying happened.

  The monster reached out a hand and ripped out Jack's right eye with the palm of his hand.

  AAAAARGHG!!!! AAAAARGHG!!!!!

  Jack's scream echoed in each of their ears. The beast, however, had a smile on its face. It put the eye in its mouth and ate it. Its hands went straight for Jack's heart.

  "DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT!!!"

  The sound of cold metal echoed and the arm that went for Jack's heart was sliced in two by another cold metal.

  The Cannibal King had not expected that. He didn't care that his arm was cut off, but it was surprising that someone had done it before he realized it. The attack had come right at his blind spot, his most invisible weakness. Who could have had such a vision?

  He looked up in surprise and saw those eyes. The left eye was normal, but this young man's right eye was lush green. There were no pupils or whites. It was completely green.

  "Jade eye!"

  At that moment, when Jack fell backwards, Alan caught him and was immediately pulled backwards. At that moment, all the academies realized that they were facing a hunter. Even Fatty was overcome with fear and filled with rage. The girl with him was his sister!

  A terrifying aura began to emanate from all the Legendary Leaders. They surrounded the beast.

  "You bastard!"

  "How dare you!!?"

  "We'll make you pay..."

  "We'll make you pay!!"
