They caught a glimpse of City E around noon time, as the sun's rays shined brightly onto the city.
"I don't have time for this." Colin muttered when he sensed the hundreds of red auras within the city.
"I'm going ahead, no matter what, do not stop the buses...and try to stay on the main road." Colin said to Sera before flying off under Lily's curious gaze. As he did, he heard the sound of buzzing wings and when he looked down, he frowned.
'Are those....bees? No wonder nobody this city is left untouched on the map.' He thought, as he saw hundreds, possibly thousands of bees buzzing around the city. Each bee was about the size of a football and had a fiery red and black pattern on their bodies along with a terrifying black stinger that glistened in the sun. He decided to fly high into the sky above the city before the bees spotted him.
'Hopefully this works.' Colin thought and summoned as much of his demonic energy as he could from his body. A bright crimson aura surrounded his body, and the bees instantly sensed it as they formed a dense swarm and flew towards him. Colin was internally frightened but strangled his fear as he created a giant fireball above his head, and started channeling his aura into it. To the bees, the giant fireball looked like a mini sun that got hotter by a few thousand degrees per second, but they were unafraid and continued flying towards the mini sun. As they got closer, their eyes felt like they were on fire, and soon, their wings started to catch fire, quite literally. They had no choice but to retreat, but that was nowhere near the end of their torment.
"Hellfire Rain." Colin said calmly, and smaller fireballs started raining from giant one landing everywhere in the city. The bees immediately rushed to a large building where their queen was located and created a flesh shield around it with their bodies along with a red barrier made of demonic energy. By the time they did this, the entire city was already on fire, turning it into a hellish landscape. The bus soon arrived in the city and everyone was more than terrified at what they saw, the hellish landscape, one that they have only seen in movies. Lily looked at the scene somberly and Sera immediately conjured a bubble of water around the vehicles, which instantly started to evaporate and she struggled to maintain it. Colin flew down from the sky and landed onto the bus' roof and the two girls instantly started glaring at him.
"Was that necessary?" Sera asked with a frown
"Yes, I want to get back to City B as quickly as possible which means I don't have time to play with a swarm of insects." Colin said with his arms crossed and both girls scoffed.
'Although, I wish I didn't have to use so much DP.'
[DP: 20/64]
Colin used his [HellFire Affinity] to push away the flames from the bus which eased the burden from Sera, but not by a lot. It took them thirty minutes to escape the burning city and Colin could hear a collective sigh of relief from the humans within the bus.
*******************************************
It was night time before they arrived at City D and although Colin couldn't sense anything with, he knew that the house of Greed was here.
The buses suddenly started to slow down and the military vehicles behind them soon followed.
"What's going on?" Colin asked Sera
"Not sure, I'll..." But before she could complete her sentence, Colin jumped down off the bus on walked towards the driver of the bus.
"Why did you stop?" He asked and the man shook under his gaze.
"S-sir, the bus has re-run out of gas....a-and I think the engine is overheated." The poor man said fearfully and Colin could only sigh.
"I knew this would happen soon, we have been driving the buses for more than a day straight and that last stunt of your must have overheated the engines. I'm surprised it didn't blow up on us." Sera said while looking Colin in his eyes and he just sighed again.
"We'll have to find some gas and give the engines time to cool." Sera added
"You do that." Alex said and walked away
"Where are you going?" Sera asked
"For a walk." He replied
"Wait, I'll come with you." Lily said and flew over towards him.
