Plundering in the Apocalypse



Looking at Emily's confused reaction. Aurora explained to her briefly. Understanding the crux of this matter, Emily's expression became solemn.

"That is to say, they are demons summoned by a group known as demon worshippers?"

She couldn't believe such crazy people existed, forgetting she was no less crazy than them.

"We have wasted enough time. Let's go," Aurora said, to which Emily nodded.

With that, the four of them left the building in search of the artifact.

When Shin used his ability to fly with them. Both Aurora and Emily were surprised, but given the situation, they quickly calmed down. Soaring through the sky, their eyes widened as they looked at the terrible situation in front of them.

Fires and smoke broke out everywhere, car sirens were heard as everything was in disorder, and the screams and wailing of people were coming from whichever direction they concentrated. The situation was very tragic and the slaughter of demons continued.

Awakeneds were trying to fight together, but taking down even one of the demons was a very difficult task for them. Because of the vast number of demons, the situation wasn't optimistic.

On their way, Shin activated his Enhanced senses with Magic eyes. Because he had formed a demon core. He was familiar with demonic energy and was able to sense the nearby demons with his ability.

His goal this time wasn't just to find the artifact and lift the barrier, but also to plunder as many demon core fragments as possible.

So he won't waste his chance. 'But first I need to send them there.'

With that thought, even at the expense of high mana, he immediately shuttled with high speed, and with the three girls, he appeared in front of a large building.

Seeing the familiar place where they caused a genocide last night, Aurora and Emily couldn't help but sigh. They never expected that they will have to come here again just the next day after doing such a massacre.

Alice, on the other hand, looked around with a frown on her face. She also felt weird energy inside the building. But more importantly, the bloodstains on the ground revealed a lot of information.

"It seems those people in uniform were also attacked."

Shin used his ability and senses to scan the surrounding and a moment later nodded with a serious expression.

"Guys, this building has only one demon inside, but there are also some humans hiding in different places."

Sensing something, Alice also uttered, "The death aura here is very chaotic. I think many demons will be attracted to this location soon."

"Yes, if those demons come here and absorb such dense aura. Their strength may increase."

Hearing this, Aurora and Emily couldn't help but feel tense.

"What should we do?"

Shin looked at them solemnly and said. "Find the artifact as soon as possible. I'll kill all the nearby demons."

Emily wanted to say something but remembered the scene where Shin dealt with four demons alone. She swallowed her words instantly.

Aurora and Alice thought about it and agreed.

"But how will we communicate with each other? All the network devices are blocked."

Listening to Aurora's worry, Shin didn't explain much, just used Mind Control to establish a telepathic link between all four of them.

[Can you hear me?]

When they heard Shin's voice inside their minds, they looked at him, surprised.

"How did you do it?" Aurora asked. Emily also looked at him curiously. This man has a lot of secrets.

[Just think about what you want to say. Anyway, I'm going first. You guys try to find the artifact as soon as possible. If you can't find the artifact, Alice, deal with the death aura here. We can't let those demons get such power up.]

With those words, he took off, leaving the sight of three of them.

To be honest, Alice wanted to go with him. But she knew she can't always stick with him. Then she glanced at Aurora and Emily. Although she didn't like these mosquito bitches, given the situation, she can handle them.

"Just how many skills does he have?" Glancing in the direction Shin flew off to, Aurora asked.

From Shin's earlier performance, she was certain he had many skills. But how many? She didn't know.

Alice didn't bother to answer her question and said, "Let's hurry. Before the demons arrive."

***

"Haah, it seems the artifact is inside the labyrinth." Shin sighed while flying. There were not many demons inside the building and those demon worshippers won't leave the artifact unprotected.

'It's better to let Alice deal with the energy there.'

While he was thinking, he arrived at the location where the demons were making chaos.

On the ground, those demons rampaged and destroyed everything they came across. When the humans try to escape, they will hunt them down and kill mercilessly.

***

A man hugged his wife and the newborn child as he desperately thought of a way to escape.

Unfortunately, all the ways were blocked by demons.

He muffled the newborn's cries as he silently prayed that the demons won't find them.

The woman kept crying without making any noise. Their bodies trembled with the sounds of destruction caused by the demons.

The man saw the piles of corpses and the blood pools on the road. He knew the awakeneds who were facing the demons earlier had already died. He was an E-rank ability awakened but trying to keep his wife and child safe; he didn't fight any demons.

*Grrr*

He heard the sound of footsteps of a demon approaching their direction. He didn't dare make any sound afraid of being caught. As he muffled the cries of the newborn. The baby started crying even more.

The demon was too close and all the chances of escape were blocked now.

There was no hope in the woman's eyes. She had already accepted her death. But she didn't want her child to die with her. Only if she could save him.

The man saw demon was already too close to them. Looking at his child and wife, there was sadness in his eyes.

Determination flashed in his eyes as he looked at his wife.

"No matter what happens, don't look back and escape." The man whispered.
