John was visibly astonished upon receiving the news of Storm City's attack.
He hadn't anticipated that the Dark Faction's assault would achieve such significant success.
Moreover, the information provided by the quartermaster indicated that even the barracks and training fields of Storm City were not safe.
While parrying Karthus's attacks, John simultaneously opened his communication channel.
To his dismay, there was no incoming message from Emma and SkyStars.
Surprisingly, he also failed to receive any updates from Blue Sea and Adam, despite having an agreement to keep each other informed of their movements.
"Again, this happens. Why can every villainous faction cut off communication channels? The Mystery Faction could do it, and now the Dark Faction too," John muttered, frustrated by the situation.
