"Is the demon that destroyed the town this powerful or was it an unnatural event?" Timothy frowned as he pondered what could have caused the entire town to be destroyed and sunk into the swamp in a matter of hours.

If it was just a demon he had some confidence that Yoze might be able to handle it. Timothy truly feared if the town was destroyed by an unnatural event as it meant they were dealing with a bigger problem.

Having been a soldier for many years now, he had witnessed numerous incidents that were considered to be unnatural. Such as a time when a boulder that was worshiped by a village suddenly gained life.

At that time he and River were only first-rate martial artists and were sent alongside 20 other first-rate martial artists by the city to kill that boulder that gained life. At first, he and River didn't understand the reason why the city was so determined to kill the boulder when it seemed peaceful.

Luckily, they were sent with experienced soldiers who dealt with these unnatural events before and followed orders. It was only when they fought the living boulder did they realize that it had somehow turned the village people into puppets that followed its bidding.

They even tossed their lives away to block their attacks. It did immense damage to Timothy's and River's minds to see the tragic scene of innocent people getting cut down causing them to almost turn into the boulder's puppets that day. Even with so many first-rate martial artist-ranked soldiers working together, they had lost half of the soldiers that came with them.

Emerald Town was an unnatural event that Yoze personally experienced and he knew firsthand how terrifying these events could be if left unchecked. Yoze frequently reflected on the time he spent in Emerald Town and could only feel that he was lucky that he found the town so early in its development. 

If Yoze entered the town a few days later or if he didn't have his Spiritual Sensing talent he might have been killed the moment he stepped into the town. If the Mutated Mother Zombie evolved one more time before he found her or if Jade City's army didn't hold down the tens of thousands of undead he would have died in that fight. 

Yoze knew that if things changed just the slightest bit for the worse the chances of him surviving Emerald Town would fall to just a small sliver. And he wouldn't even have been safe if he decided to rely on Jade City's protection.

If he didn't discover the town so soon then the City would have also discovered that there was something wrong with Emerald Town much later. They wouldn't even know the severity of the matter until a week or two passed by due to the Emerald Town and Jade City relationship between them not being as strong as New Swampscott City and Deepshed Town.

This could have resulted in the Mutated Mother Zombie undergoing more mutations and evolving further. If she went through a fourth, fifth, or even sixth mutation she could have been able to kill Martial Grandmasters. Alongside the Mutated Mother Zombie's and the other mutated undeads' abilities to use the Death Spiritual energy, they generated as weapons to suck out the energy of their opponents would have made them a monstrous threat to all living creatures.

These factors already placed Jade City's survival in question and that was when they ignored the root cause of the event, the Death Rejecting Baby. The baby that rejected death and was attempting to come back to life to meet its mother again. The baby that even the fundamental laws of the world couldn't keep dead.

If it wasn't for the Death Rejecting Baby choosing to stop rejecting its death after the Mutated Mother Zombie died Yoze had no idea how he was supposed to stop it. Much less stop the endless black pillar of Death Spiritual energy that caused Emerald Town's destruction. 

If they couldn't stop the Death Rejecting Baby then the threat would never be gone and would just turn every living being into the undead. As for if Jade City might of had a method to stop the Death Rejecting Baby and contain the death pillar Yoze had no clue. But this incident showed how dangerous unnatural events could be and why Timothy would have rather encountered a demon than another unnatural event.

Luckily Timothy breathed out a sigh of relief after he heard Yoze found a clue to the real culprit of the town's destruction. As Yoze was scanning their surroundings for clues to what could have destroyed the city his nose smelled a unique scent.

It wasn't an ordinary scent that came from his normal senses but from his spiritual sense of smell. It had the scent of thick mud and had a thicker swamp smell than the Grand Swamp itself.

"There is the smell of a demon around here. " There was only one creature that Yoze knew of that could have such a strong spiritual energy that he could smell it. Even though he wasn't sure of his guess Yoze still decided to let everyone else know his guess.

In a split second after Yoze finished his sentence, he felt his Mindless Legs technique act up and took over his body. Knowing that his Mindless Legs only acted like this when there was danger Yoze didn't resist as his body leaped dozens of feet in the air.

In that exact moment that Yoze left the ground he saw the ground he was just standing on, cave in before exploding as a giant demon covered in thick brown spiritual energy.

"Impressive as expected of a demon who has such a complex aura." A deep and husky voice rang from the demon but its mouth was closed.

Yoze's pupils contracted as he saw a truly massive leopard demon below him. It was as large as the Elephant demon and strangely covered in holes that went through its body. However, the Leopard demon didn't seem to mind the holes and didn't even bother to have its spiritual energy armor cover them up.

"Talent mark that demon," Yoze sent out his talent to get a general understanding of how strong this demon was.
