Chapter 128 Attacking The Base (2)

"Damian!" Aurora said when she saw the man waiting for her on the other side of the hole.

Damian changed his face to his original one before meeting them again, so no one found it strange.

The happiness on their faces when seeing him was evident, but they still had important things to do, like finding a ship or a plane to leave that island for good.

"We can do the hugs later. Let's go," Damian said, moving his hand in a come motion.

They wanted to find a way to leave the island, but the tribe men with them tried to destroy the military base for good, and Damian would help them, just like they would help him get his hands on a vehicle.

"Everyone, kill them!" the shaman yelled in their local tongue, raising his arm.

A massive group of tribe men ran toward the soldiers, fighting against them using various means, such as spears, bows, and abilities! Each of them had an ability, and soon the military base turned into a battlefield, with both sides clashing.

Dead bodies and explosions happened everywhere; Damian and his friends had to duck over multiple attacks, using the destroyed buildings as cover.

"Natives are attacking! Kill them!"

They hid behind a military tent, and someone grabbed Damian by the arm at that moment, and it was Ashley.

"Remember, we have to find Creed!" Ashley said.

Damian had spent an entire week inside the military base, and despite having other things to do, he still looked for Creed, primarily through the cameras, yet found nothing. It was like he was not there anymore!

"Ashley, I checked the cameras daily, and no sign of him. Are you sure the militaries took him?"

"This is impossible. Creed should have been here..."

If she said Creed got taken away to the military base, then it must be true. Damian did not see it happen, but she had no reason to lie.

So, Damian called out the shaman who spoke his language. The shaman pierced a spear into a soldier's belly, "what did you say? Look for someone called Creed?"

"Yes. Creed is a survivor, like us," Damian said.

The shaman did not say he would look for that person but did not deny the fact, which was enough for Damian.

Ashley got calmer after hearing that, so they returned to their first task: finding a way out of the island. The only place they could think of was the harbor area on the other side of the military base, so that was where they headed next after speaking with the shaman.

Despite being close to where they were, the entire base was a mess, and Damian fought against some soldiers on the way, controlling slime swords using his Telekineses, slashing soldiers as they went, and cutting their limbs.

No one could stop him, and those who tried sneak attacks would miserably die at the hands of Magnus, who was so fast the soldiers could not retaliate.

They cleared the way up to the harbor, descending the staircase to a building near the coast.

That was the best place for them to find something like a ship, and Damian was sure they had something like that, or else they would not have donuts to eat.

Everything went according to plan, and that was the problem. It looked way easier than it should be, but someone showed up when Damian and his friends got close to the harbor.

A man wearing a military uniform, but different from the others, he had a few stars on his chest and wore a beret. With a glance, Damian could tell it was one of the important figures of that base.

"Stop right there, you. Did you think it would be easy to grab a ship and leave this place?"  the colonel said.

The colonel had a bulky body and looked to be in his forties. He had a scar on his neck, making him look even more intimidating. Not that he needed it. His angry face did the job very well.

"He's strong," Magnus whispered to Damian.

They could tell that was the case, so Damian prepared for a brutal fight ahead of him. Magnus wanted to help, but Damian dismissed him, "You need to protect Aurora and Ashley and find a ship for us. I will deal with him."

The colonel heard their conversation and had a hard time holding his laugh.

"A young man like you trying to fight against me? Boy, you will die here," the colonel said.

Damian ignored the words and continued fighting against the colonel alone, but Magnus and the others left the area, going inside the nearby building and looking for a ship.

The colonel did not even try to stop them, fully believing his fight against Damian would not last long, and after that, he would go after them, giving them no time to find a ship.

Both men stared at each other with thoughtful gazes, trying to analyze each other's capabilities. No one made a move for around one minute. The first one to try something? The colonel was tired of waiting.

He dashed toward Damian with a military knife in hand, and the power he exerted with both legs was astonishing, even higher than Magnus'!

Damian quickly reacted, moving his head to the side, yet he still felt the knife cut through his skin, a minor wound to his right cheek. Then, after noticing the first attack was not enough, the colonel moved his left knee, hitting directly at Damian's belly, sending him flying away.

Based on that quick exchange of blows, Damian could tell his opponent would not be easy, and he could even lose his life there!

"See? You can't win against me."

A bold statement for someone to make, but Damian did not see the man as cocky but as someone who acknowledged his power.

"Nice move for a grandpa. But aren't you celebrating too early? Our fight is only beginning!"

"Ha! Beginning? My knife had poison, so you should die within one minute."
