Plundering in the Apocalypse



Outside the barrier of the Polaris city. On a certain route connected to the forest. A small group of hooded people could be seen standing close to the barrier.

From the general observation, their bodies didn't seem much different from humans. But the language in which they were talking wasn't local to this world.

"How is it?" A soft yet crisp voice sounded. It was one of the hooded figures who asked.

"Miss, it seems to be a Baron Rank demon with a small army of lesser demons and imps." Another hooded figure that was studying the barrier replied.

When she heard it was just a Baron Rank demon, a small sigh of relief escape her mouth.

It hasn't been long since they arrived in this world and they need time to adjust. If a high-ranking demon comes here, then it will cause a lot of trouble for them.

"Miss, what shall we do? The humans don't seem to have the means to escape this barrier and they are too weak to resist in front of a Baron rank demon." Another hooded figure asked.

They knew about the functions of the artifact. They had seen many similar artifacts in their long war against demons and were very familiar with them. So naturally they have means to deal with it.

But the humans are new to this. Moreover, from what they have observed, the humans have just started to grow and their strength is far too weak.

The 'Miss' in their mouth, who also seems to be the leader of their group, was silent. She was still pondering what to do.

On the one hand, it was a great opportunity to develop their friendship with humans, and on the other hand, she was thinking about whether it is right to interfere when there's a chance for humanity to grow and realize the threat of demons.

She was thinking of many things when suddenly one of her subordinates spoke up.

"Miss, there's a change."

"Huh?" She subconsciously turned their head.

The person who spoke up was the owner of the great 'All-Seeing Eye'. A treasured artifact in his tribe. He is also her most loyal subordinate.

With his strength and artifact, looking past the barrier wasn't a problem.

"What happened?" She asked.

His eyes narrowed for a bit as he continued looking in a certain direction past the barrier.

"Humans seem to be resisting the demons?"

When she heard this, an intriguing simple appeared on her face.

She never thought that the humans would have the courage to face those demons with their current strength.

It seems she needs to reevaluate her opinion of humans. Even if their current strength was weak, she still respected this mentality.

If they don't even dare to face a Baron Rank demon, how would they survive the war in the future?

"So, what's the situation? Were they able to fend off any demons? How many casualties?"

'Even if they can't deal with all the demons, at least they can defeat a few demons, right? Humanity still has hope to become a great ally in the future.' When that thought crossed her mind, a satisfied smile appeared on her face.

"Uh.. Miss."

"What is it? Tell me?"

"It's a small group of humans, they are slaughtering those demons."

"What?" She was surprised as she asked, "Lesser demons?"

Shaking his head, he said, "Imps."

She seemed a little taken aback, then smiled. "Hehe, I didn't expect things to become so interesting."

Revealing her smooth white hand, she touched her chin.

"Miss, what shall we do?"

"... Let's go in." She said and continued, "I am curious about their strength."

The subordinates nodded and prepared to open a hole in the barrier for them to enter.

"Let's see what surprises humanity has for us."

As she said that, the strong wind fluttered her hood, revealing her finger-long pointed ear and a smooth white cheek.

On the other side, Shin and others had been fighting continuously for nearly half an hour.

He had already killed hundreds of demons, but the number wasn't decreasing, as more and more demons came out of the castle.

"Purple Lightning!!"

Under the wraith of his SS rank ability, those demons fell on the ground like flies.

Shin's level was increasing rapidly and his proficiency in Purple Lightning also increased the more he used.

Sometime later, he found out that he didn't need to continue using Gravity Control to fly. As the Purple Lightning covered his entire body, he can fly with it and also under the effect of his ability, his speed was very fast.

This battlefield was the best place for Shin to improve his ability.

He flew around the battlefield with amazing speed and zapped the demons to death.

Even if those demons tried to attack him with demonic attacks, at his speed, it was easy to dodge.

At some point, he also took out Formless and tried using it in different ways, combined with Purple Lightning.

"Devourer's Touch."

That's when he noticed that the demons had stopped coming out of the castle.

"Let's finish them fast and enter the castle."

[Guys, how are things on your side?] Shin asked.

[Only a few demons are left. But they are running away from me, so chasing after them and killing them is taking some time.] Aurora said in an annoyed tone.

[Same here. No, Demons are coming close to me.] Alice's tone was also a little dissatisfied.

[What about Emily?]

[I have evacuated most of the people. Only one bunker is left.] Emily's voice sounded.

[Good, in that case, guys finish up fast. Then we will enter the castle.]

Shin looked at the remaining demons who were running from him. He activated Gravity Control and all of them were pulled back to him.

"Lightning Slash!"

In a few seconds, Shin easily solved the remaining demons.

Then he landed on the ground and looked at the pile of corpses.

Raising his hand, he activated, 'Devourer's Touch' and all his mana recovered.

Shin saw that no more demons were around him and the girls have yet to arrive here. So he briefly looked at all the notifications he got during the battle.
