As Sera carries on with destroying everything in her way, Cruella also follows her trail and arrives at the ruined town of Angladur.

Seeing the gruesome sight of that eerie midnight, Cruella furrowed her brows in curiosity.

What monster ruined a town into such a horrendous state? She saw no survivor at all and blood splattered everywhere.

She looks down into the huge crater and observes the situation.

"Hm, this attack carries dark energy. Is it demons who attack this town? But it seems this explosion is only done by one powerful blow. And how come all the trees and plants withered like their energy was absorbed?"

Cruella couldn't help but ponder this situation.

Suddenly, she saw something moving at the edge of the crater. Someone is hiding in broken blocks and a small head slowly peeks out.

Their gaze met and the innocent yet fearful eyes immediately glistened with tears as if they saw a monster again.

The wind blows and Cruella snaps out of her daze and quickly scurries over to the child not far away from her, who hides back fearfully.

When she looked down, she saw a small child curled up, trembling while bursting into tears. The child looks so pitiful.

Seeing this situation, Cruella doesn't know what to do for a moment.

However, seeing the pitiful state the child was in, her heart clenched and softened her gaze.

She held out her hand and softly said, "Little one, don't be afraid. I won't hurt you, I promise. Come, take my hand."

The child looked up and blinked her eyes as she examined Cruella's face. Slowly, the child took Cruella's hand and Cruella immediately lifted the child out of the blocks.

To Cruella's surprise, the child wailed loudly and hugged her tightly while trembling.

Cruella couldn't help but sympathize with the child. She soothes the child's back while saying, "There, there... I know it's scary being left alone, but I'm here now. You're safe..."

The child chokes on her tears and look at Cruella's face while blinking away her tears. Cruella smiles gently and pats the child's head.

"Do you know what happened?" Cruella asked.

The child shook her head no. In a cute baby voice, the child uttered, "I was asleep in the basement and I woke up with the explosion. Everything is ruined and no one's around. Wahhh, it's so scary!" the child sobbed again.

Cruella lifts the child and carries her. Then they look for a survivor.

However, it seems everyone died in the explosion. Cruella saw some bodies scattered around but it was incomplete. Some were even blasted and cut in halves.

The scene looks grotesque. Whoever did this seems to despise humans the most.

Was it an act of revenge?

Cruella narrowed her eyes as the faint aura left in the surroundings was very familiar.

She has her suspicion but she has to see the culprit herself.

Cruella took the child with her and continued her journey. This time she followed the trail of the culprit that destroyed the town.

The child fell asleep in her arms and only when Cruella stared at the child did she find how cute this little girl is. Her heart softened seeing the innocent face of the child.

The child became an orphan at such a young age. Just like her...

She couldn't help but saw herself in the child.
