Padraig, not stopping to think who the woman was, yelled, "Quick! We're ditching the trailer!" He pulled the trailer door open and continued, "Elayne, get your students and jump over to the top of that truck."Without any time to think, Elayne led the children out of the trailer and did their best to jump over. However, one of the children, Dustin, was a little too heavy and fell over the side. A sledgehammer instantly swung toward him."Aaah!"Dustin screamed in horror, but a woman immediately dashed out of the front passenger seat and kicked away the sledgehammer. She then held Dustin in her arms and somersaulted to the top of the truck.Padraig and the others fired their weapons, killing the nearby monsters. When everyone was gathered at the top, he yelled, "Let's get out of here!" Everyone jumped to the top of the truck and lay low."Hold on!" The woman got back into the driver’s seat and said, "We’re out!" The truck revved and rammed the monsters over as it sped out of th
As everyone studied each other, Helen smiled and said, "We're the ones who saved you, my friend, so you first. Who are you people and what are you guys doing here?"Padraig decided not to refuse any further and said, "There were six children trapped inside the school, so we came here with the legate to save them. We weren’t expecting to go up against that many monsters.""The legate? Which one?" Helen grew excited when she heard this. The other women went wide-eyed as well, eagerly waiting for Padraig to answer. "War Legate Draco. We've been following him since the chaos started. Sir Draco's trying to gather more forces, but right now, he's trapped in that school."Padraig felt helpless for not being able to assist Adrian. If they were to return to the school, there was a high chance they would sacrifice their lives before they could even save him. Helen and the other women jumped in joy when they heard Adrian's name."It's him, Helen!""He's alive! He's really alive!" "Ha
“Susan, fetch me the wireless radio enhancer, please," Helen said. "Sure thing."A beautiful woman of about twenty-two grabbed her backpack and took out some equipment before jumping off the top of the truck. Her name was Susan Heart, the youngest among the women, but the most tech-savvy one with excellent hacking skills. Susan quickly set up the wireless enhancer and adjusted the frequency. "Done. Try contacting him. You should get a response.""Okay.” Padraig picked up his communicator. "Sir Draco, Sir Draco. This is Padraig. Do you read me?"Meanwhile, the monster kicked Adrian into a wall, causing the entire school to shake. Not only was the monster ridiculously strong, but it also had impressive speed. Adrian was unable to find any weakness even after fighting it for a while.That was when he heard Padraig's voice. "I read you, Padraig. What's your status? Did you manage to get out?"The women jumped for joy when they heard Adrian's voice."He's alive!”Adrian could h
Adrian was not exaggerating in his statement. Helen and her group had gone through hellish training while in Bloody Rose and were experienced fighters. Just one of them could easily take on a hundred of Padraig and his men. Under such circumstances, the power of all thirty-seven of them was a force to be reckoned with. Their assistance would be of great help to Adrian's forces.Helen asked, "Are you sure you don't need our help, sir?""Gold Haven will be besieged at dawn, and the sun is almost up. The people there don’t have enough experience in battle, so I'm afraid they won't be able to hold out for long. They're going to need your help.""Understood. Stay safe. Over and out.” Helen turned around and said, "Sisters, Sir Draco has instructed us to assist those at Gold Haven. It’s just nearby, so let's hurry over.” "Will he be okay alone?" Susan asked. "Relax, he'll be just fine. Let's go." "Yes, ma'am!" “You guys should come with us too," Helen said to Padraig, who nodded i
The human’s firepower was unable to fight off such a large monster army. The monsters began to try and break down the defensive walls. Although it was a difficult task, it would not be long before they succeeded in breaking through Gold Haven's defenses. "Something's up in the sky!" someone suddenly yelled. Everyone looked up and saw giant bird-like monsters with razor-sharp claws. "F*ck, f*ck, f*ck!!!" Cian cursed, never expecting flying monsters to exist. "Focus on your fight! Leave them to me!" Rozi yelled.She jumped up as her sword emitted a powerful light, slashing at one of the bird monsters. After being cut in half, the creature fell to the ground. Rozi used the carcass as a stepping stone to cut down more bird monsters. Meanwhile, on the ground, bullets were being fired as the survivors yelled at the top of their lungs. The monster army seemed to enter a maddened frenzy as they attacked the walls, while the bird monsters swooped in to kill the humans. Rozi grabbed
Adrian raised Dragonbane into the air, lodged the sword into the monster’s foot, and rolled away from the attack. As the monster jumped from the pain, Adrian held up his hand and recalled Dragonbane to his grasp. He then jumped above the monster’s head and slashed its neck. Slash!Drangonbane managed to slice into the monster's weakest part. Screaming in agony, the monster lashed out and tried to grab Adrian. However, he had already retreated to a safe distance. The pain the monster felt infuriated it. The monster stared at Adrian with its deadly gaze as it swung its scythe once more. It was going to be difficult for Adrian to eliminate the monster thoroughly. More importantly, he could not find any weakness that would allow him to kill the creature with a single strike. Thus, he could only return to dodging the monster's attacks while looking for another opportunity.But Adrian’s stamina was depleting, while the monster’s seemed endless. It tirelessly launched attacks, each on
All living beings had emotions, be they gods or humans. And Adrian's provocation was aimed at the Creator who was controlling the monster. After all, he was the only one who could make the monster more powerful.Sure enough, the large shadow in the sky suddenly shifted, revealing a human face. It had eyes and a mouth, laughing away as it hovered above Adrian. A voice came down, saying, "Puny human. I'm going to destroy you for challenging me, your creator.""Hmph! So you've finally decided to show yourself, huh?" Adrian said with a smile. "Grim, kill him!" the giant face yelled. The monster called Grim suddenly went on a rampage, launching another volley of attack at Adrian. The monster had no idea that was exactly what he wanted. Adrian retreated a hundred meters till they arrived by a lake near the school. Grim continued to chase after Adrian until the latter stopped by the water. The monster tried to stomp Adrian once more, but he quickly jumped over to the opposite side of
After the face disappeared, Adrian heaved a sigh of relief. He sat on Grim's corpse to catch his breath. His clothes were completely drenched, and he was exhausted. However, he did not dare rest for too long as he was unsure of the situation at Gold Haven. After a few minutes, Adrian got up and was about to leave, when he spotted something black on Grim's body. The thing was lodged in Grim's head as if someone had performed surgery to implant it on the monster. It was a black metal block with runes on it, similar to the ones Adrian had seen in the past. "This again?" He frowned. Adrian carved out the stone with his sword and held it in his hand. The stone was the size of a goose's egg with runes all over it. This was not his first time coming across such a stone. The first time was at the basement in St.Elmer's Church, the second being at the top of the Apex Obelisk. However, this one had different runes. "Is this used to control the monsters?" he muttered.Adrian quickly push
