The volcano continued to erupt, consuming the entire town at the top of the mountain and later spewing lava over the crater. The ash cloud from the crater was immensely large that it hid the Red Moon from plain sight. In the meantime, Jin asked Itori, the white fox he was riding on to stay on guard for King Hamu.
However, there was no sign of him coming out of the lava at all. The System then stated that it did not detect the presence of Diabolos Shatian powers anywhere in the volcano. "Did we capture King Hamu?" Jin was curious if the System was hiding the fact it captured the Orc King and wanted to make a joke out of it.
More or less finishing with this grand arc. A few more loose strings to tie and it will be over. Meanwhile, I feel this is a (somewhat) logical end for a successful and thorough massive war operation.
cheers and thanks for bearing with me for the odd update timings. (will continue on for the rest of the week until my military retraining is done.)
