Susan's head was fuzzy but she heard the indistinct sound of the voice she won't forget in her life.
'Did he come for me?' the thought pops into her mind.
Justin jumps down from the Flesh eating crow and his weapon makes a whistling sound, traveling toward the two hordes at breathtaking speed.
? Bang!
The two hordes were sent flying by Justin's weapon and he arrived beside Susan. He stared at her for a moment before he averted his gaze.
Grow!
The hordes stood and glared at Justin. While in the sky, Kira rode her beast toward the ongoing battle.
Growl!
The hordes change and their physiques and defenses become stronger. After their changes, they stood 5-meter tall with their skin turning green.
Growl!
Their cry resounds throughout the surroundings and the rush toward Justin.
Seeing the hordes, Justin's expression didn't change. However, a bronze armor appeared on his body. He sprinted toward the hordes as his weapon revolved in front of him.
"Sound Annihilation." He whispered and three circles appeared on his head.
His weapon changes as their golden light shine brighter and hums, separating, going for a horde. The hordes didn't change their moment and swung their weapon toward the rings.
Boom!
A deep crater appeared on the road as clouds of dust rose into the dark sky. The hordes cried with green liquid flowing out of their mouths.
"^&*%*^$#@!&*" A horde cried, forcing himself to stand.
They jumped out of the crater and accosted another round of attack. They were sent back into the crater as their muscles tore.
Bang!
Justin jumped into the crater and punched a horde while his two weapons went for the other.
"Begone!"
"Sound Disintegration!"
A golden arc came from his fist and hit the horde's chest while his two weapons orbit around the other horde at greater, leaving afterimages.
The Fist sent the horde deep into the groin forming a shape of the horde as the other horde's body flayed like sand.
It cried and tried to escape from the encampment of the rings. But anytime he touches the boundary created by the rings. A greater pain assaulted the horde.
He used his weapon to attack the force field but the rebounding force made the horde puke a large green liquid.
He fell on his knee as he dropped his sword. He turned his head and fixed his gaze on Justin as he made a loud cry.
Thud!
Its head fell to the ground as all the skin flayed, leaving only its skeleton. A red orb floated from the corpse of the hordes and Justin picked them up and jumped out of the crater.
The confrontation lasted for half a minute. Justin received a couple of notifications about the death of the horde but he ignored them. He looked in the distance and saw the battle under control.
Meanwhile, Susan was levitating a couple of feet from under the heavens blessing. He waits for her to complete her blessing without uttering a word.
After a couple of minutes, the blessing was completed and Susan's feet touched the ground gently. All her injuries are gone with no traces at all. His long dark hair had a hue of purple. Her hazel eyes had a spark of purple lightning.
"Congratulations!" Justin said slowly.
A light smile appeared on her beautiful purple lips as she replied.
"Without your timely arrival, I won't have leveled up."
He looks away, walking toward the battleground. "Would it be a crime if you accept the compliment?"
"Hmm. No." She answered, walking after him.
"Don't forget to pick your spoils of battle." He pointed at the shining red orb in the distance.
Hmm?
'What is this!?' she thought but didn't ask Justin.
'',
On the battleground.
Bang!
Kira sent a Second Circle zombie flying while in the air. Her beast tore it into two with its sharp claw.
Caw!
The Flesh Eating Crow cried in elation.
"Well done!" Kira patted the beast back.
"Sky shot," Merab shouted.
An arrow disappeared from her bow and appeared in front of the zombie as it hit the zombie's heart.
Bang!
The arrow came out of the Second Circle zombie's back and continued to fly into the distance before it disappeared into thin air.
"Is that your new skill?"
Merab turned to voice direction and a smile appeared on her face.
"Your highness." She bowed.
"Why stand the ceremony?" Justin waves his hand.
His gaze swept the surroundings as he squinted his brow. He walked casually among the corpse as he arrived in front of two people. One was badly wounded while the other was barely conscious.
They were Mack and Madel.
The unconscious Madel lay in a pool of cold blood as Mack sat in front of him. Joe's condition was worse than the duo's. He sustained various deep injuries. If not for the rising and falling of his chest, everyone would believe he's dead. Although, his life was beating at the boundary of the netherworld. He was saved.
Two people sat on the other side of the group as their chests rose and fell. Bloods dripped from their nose and mouth. A deep cut appeared on their back and chest.
"Are you alright?" Justin asked.
"We live." Howard forced a smile and puked more blood.
Kira jumped down from her mount and stopped a couple of feet from Justin.
"What should we do?" She asked.
"Take those severely injured people back to the shelter. While the others will wait. Bring pipe man and Nasir with the full list of what we need."
Immediately, Kira with the assistance of Merab carried the injured to the beast's back.
"What about them?" Merab pointed to Joe and the unconscious lady.
Justin thought for a second and answered.
"Take her also."
Whoosh!
The Flesh Eating Crow rose in the air and disappeared into the horizon. Justin looked at Merab and asked.
"Tell me what happened."
After listening to what happened, Justin's expression didn't change. What happened didn't surprise him. Only the appearance of the hordes shocked him a bit.
"Let's help those injured to a safe place," Justin commanded.
Quickly, everyone got to work. When Justin arrived in front of Mack, he had a bitter smile on his face.
"Don't help me. I can still walk?" He muttered, gnashing his teeth.
"Alright." Justin nodded.
Meanwhile, Merab and Susan watch the short interaction in puzzlement. Seeing everything going smoothly, Susan breathes a sigh of relief.
'This idiot will be the death of me.' She thought.
After a couple of minutes, they moved those conscious inside the house camouflaging the hidden warehouse.
"The warehouse is right behind this place, right?" Justin asked, looking at Merab.
"Yes." She nodded.
"Merab check the Humvee if you can get it working. We can't stay too long in this blood-filled space." He commanded.
'ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ N(ov)elBin',
"Alright," Merab answered as she dashed out of the building.
"Susan, come with me?" He said as he headed deeper into the building.
Mack raised his head slightly as he watched the backside of Susan. He creased his brow and sighed.
After passing through a narrow passage and a myriad of steps, going deep into the ground. The duo arrived in another part of the street.
Justin looked at the corpse lying in cold blood and didn't blink. By the side were resources arranged, ready for transport to the surface.
"How did they detect this place?" Susan whispered.
She looked at her surroundings in awe. As the daughter of a business magnate. She understood what type of warehouse they were in.
This was a major resource point of a district in the underworld and only certain individuals know the location. There are a series of security measures put in place. But with the look of things, the apocalypse destroyed almost all the security.
She sighed and forgot about how this place was discovered.
"Let's get to work." She heard Justin's voice.
She turned and looked at Justin loading all the resources on a plank of flat wood.
"You're carrying it like that?" She exclaimed.
"What do you think?"
He arranges the carton on the wood as it creates a small mountain. The carton was higher than him but he lifted it like it was nothing.
He sauntered past her with a large stride. When he arrived at the exit of the hidden warehouse, he said.
"Are you going to stay all day gawking at me?"
Blood rushed to Susan's face as she averted her gaze. She bit the corner of her lips and quickly followed Justin's action.
Outside.
Kira and the others have arrived. While Nasir and Pipe looked at the destruction of the battleground and widened their mouths.
"What are you doing? Kira sends those injured back to the camp while the others should get to work." Justin said as he appeared inside the building.
"How's it?" He turned to Merab.
"It's working."
"You heard that. I want those vehicles filled with those resources in 2 minutes."
"We need to leave this place in ten minutes." He shouted.
…
Far from the Milky Way galaxy, two people stood in space and stared at Earth's direction.
"How is it going?" A sweet voice asked.
"The Weeding is almost complete. But —"
"But what!?" The angelic voice disappeared, turning into a raging inferno. The space around the duo shook and the person beside the sweet voice trembled.
"S-some of the beings living in a particular world is resisting" The man stuttered.
"How?"
"Those that survive the first waves found a way to grow stronger by killing the damned ones."
The sweet voice didn't respond immediately and strange runic symbols appeared deep on her forehead.
"So that's it." She murmured.
"How many gates of low life dimension have you opened?" She asked.
"One."
"Open everything."
Hearing this, the man beside the lady shook and wiped the bead of sweat from his forehead.
"Your highness, we can't tamper with their evolution too much. Else…"
"I understand." She snapped.
"Then open three."
