Chapter 339 Am I Saved?

His plan to silence them with fear was now futile. After all, he intends to make them unable to move so he can absorb them in one fell swoop.

But now, seeing the crowd going away, he knew that it would take time.

Brick Norty tried to find Lucian's figure, but the man was already mixed in with the crowd.

'Slippery Bastard!' Brick Norty immediately punched the ground in front of him.

Cracks started to form like a spiderweb. He took out a huge chunk of rock and threw it in the direction of people.

"Be careful! There is a boulder coming on our way!"

"What!? Where did the monster get that?"

"Who knows! If you still want to live, just shut up and continue running."

Lucian, on the other hand, watched the large piece of rock coming on their back with dread. He felt sorry for the others. After all, if one gets hit with such a large piece of rock, there's only one result.

Fortunately, the trajectory was a bit off from his direction.

In just a second scream of people resounded again.

BOOM!

The rock landed on at least eighteen people, and they turned into a meat paste. Blood splattered in all directions. And some pieces of internal organs flew out.

"Ahhhh!!! Please help!" A teenage boy cried out for help.

Half of his body was crushed by the rock. It's a miracle that he was still alive.

The people give glance at the boy and return to their own business. Who would have time to help when their lives are also on the line?

The boy looked at the faces of everyone and the look of pity and regret. Some had guilt, but no one came to step forward.

He couldn't feel half of his body anymore. With the passing of the moment, he also felt that he got weaker and weaker as seconds passed.

'Mommy, daddy.' Tears came out from his eyes and he felt sleepy.

"Boy, don't sleep!!" Suddenly, a voice appeared which pulled him out of his sleepiness.

It was the same man who shouted at the people to run from the monster.

"Just hold on tight, don't close your eyes okay?" Lucian wants to leave the boy, as he knew he would die if he stays, and he won't see his family even again if that happens. Yet, his conscience won't allow him to see a young man die in front of his eyes.

"Gotcha..." The monster grinned widely, showing the fangs that dripped with blue liquid.

His saliva is the combination of the deadliest venoms of every animal on the continent. Even a drop of it was enough to kill an adult man in just a minute. Even the most lethal snake venom would appear like water in front of his venom.

Brick Norty jumped where Lucian was, and at the boy that was looking paler and paler.

"I take back my thoughts. You are fucking stupid! You could have escaped, but you chose to stupidly stay for a kid that was going to die, anyway."

As he said this, Brick smashed the teen's face with consecutive punches until it burst like a watermelon. The head caved in, and he died without even letting out a grunt.

Seeing this, Lucian could only stare blankly at the busted head on the ground. His feet trembled and an unprecedented sorrow and anger emerged from his heart.

"What just happened? Where am I? What am I doing?" Lucian muttered quietly, feeling a little lost.

"Now, it's your turn to die!" An evil smirk appeared on the monster's face as his hands morphed into a sharp weapon-like spear. Then he thrust it into Lucian's chest, aiming for his heart.

"No, I have a family!" Lucian woke up from his state as death comes close. He knew that he won't be able to resist the monster's powerful attack as he was just an ordinary human through and through.

Lucian was ready to block the monster's attack, but it was too fast for him. He knew that he won't be able to survive at such a speed, but he still have to try to do his best for his family. He didn't want his daughter to be fatherless.

Thinking of this, a glint of determination flashed in his eyes. Then, he used the utmost force he could muster and moved his hands to at least block the punch. He had already prepared himself to lose arms in the process.

Yet when the monster's attack was about to land. A large vine as thick as a human's head, with wooden spikes, emerged from the ground and bind the monster's feet and waist, which made his attack slow down significantly.

Lucian didn't know who helped him. But won't he let the opportunity go just like that? He immediately retracted his fist and sidestepped, which caused the attack to miss.

BANG!

When Lucian looked back at where the attack landed. A deep depression appeared. He couldn't help but gasp at the result. After all, his only a normal human. For him, such a feat should be impossible and hard to accept. But this is reality, and he could only accept it.

'If that hit me, even if I managed to block it with my hands, it won't stop at all.' Lucian took a deep breath and reflected.

"Hey! What are you doing!? Run here!"

Lucian heard an unfamiliar voice not far away. When turned around, he saw three people fighting the monster. No, it's more like they were just stalling it and buying time.

In the middle of them was a man with green long hair. His eyes glowed luminescent, and they flickered from time to time. He has a white T-shirt, brown pants, and black shoes.

He kept waving his hands and making gestures. Weirdly, Lucian noticed the vine move as he did those strange things.

'He can manipulate plants?' Lucian, even though he's just a regular human. He knows a thing or two about degu users. So after seeing this, the fire of hope rekindled itself in his pupils. 'Am I saved?'

Then he looked at the two figures on the green-haired guy's side. He was sure that they were also a degu user like him as their eyes glowed with different colors.
