Chapter 48: First Encounter [Part 2]

Mikhail and Shasha gripped their weapons tightly as they looked at the steel door in front of them.

They could hear something trying to attack the first steel door, which served as the basement's first line of defense.

Their breathing was starting to become ragged as the adrenaline pumped inside their bodies.

The two of them stood in front of Thirteen, who was covering Remi's lips with his hand.

Inside the Basement, there was a weapon rack with many different kinds of weapons on display.

Mikhail and Shasha took an Axe and Rapier, respectively.

Thirteen had trained them to hold real weapons during their training so that they would be able to get used to their weight and familiarize themselves with them.

Although Thirteen was confident that his siblings would be able to win in a one-on-one fight against a Rank 1 Monster, they were still too young to handle Rank 2 Monsters and above.

Also, this was a Monster Outbreak.

They wouldn't just be fighting one, two, or three monsters at the same time—they would be fighting dozens, and even hundreds of them, which was why most Wanderers prefer to fight inside the Gate than let the monsters attack them in their own world.

Suddenly, the sound of an explosion erupted, and the loud metallic bang that reached their ears made Remi start crying.

Although she was now four years old, she was still not ready for this kind of encounter in real life with the Monsters, which she had only seen on Television.

Even the faces of Mikhail and Shasha, who had been training to fight these Monsters for when they arrived in Solterra, were very pale.

Even so, they stood their ground, holding their weapons at the ready.

Another loud explosion resounded, and this time, Thirteen decided to let his sister go.

"Don't worry, everything will be fine," Thirteen said to the crying little girl who was crouching beside him.

"Wuwuwuwu!"

The dagger then bounced harmlessly away, resulting in a metallic clinking sound as it fell to the ground.

As if getting tired of teasing the children, the Alpha Vagabond Boar took a few steps back before ramming the steel gate with its body.

The indentation on the gate became bigger and bigger with each blow, making Remi cry louder.

Finally, the steel door fell on the floor with a loud thud.

Mikhail and Shasha subconsciously took a step back the moment the steel door was destroyed.

With their last line of defense broken down by the Rank 2 Alpha Monster, there was nothing that would stop the Boars from devouring their prey.

However, instead of being swarmed, the Rank 1 Boars didn't move, as if afraid to anger the leader of the Pack, who walked confidently inside the basement and eyed the delicious meat that was ripe for the picking.

"Mikhail, Shasha, don't move!" Thirteen ordered. "Stay where you are!"

Despite the hopeless situation in front of them, Thirteen remained calm and stood his ground.

He was like a staunch pillar that stood to protect his family from harm.

Even in the face of such a threat, his experience as a System made him calm like the surface of a still lake

The Alpha Vagabond Boar didn't like the fact that the boy in front of him wasn't feeling despair in its presence.

Because of this, it decided to eliminate the boy holding the daggers first before feasting on his siblings, whose faces showed fear and desperation.

"Come!" Thirteen shouted.

In reply, the Vagabond Boar squealed angrily as it charged forward.

Thirteen didn't back down and also lunged forward, his daggers thirsty for blood.

A moment later, a loud crash reverberated in the surroundings, and the ground was dyed with fresh blood, which painted it the color red.Read latest chapters at novelhall.com Only
