Chapter 83: CHAPTER 83 – What the hell happened here?!
Alice, Ann, the raiders, and Noctura who was now visible as she sat beside Ann whom she liked the most after Alex, were all waiting for Alex to return as it's been an hour or so since Alex had been gone.
The raiders were getting worried thinking that something must've happened to Alex, but they stayed calm as they could see that Alice and Ann were not showing any reaction.
But then they saw Alice smile lightly and the next second….
*Swish*
All of them heard the sound of air whistling and when they turned their heads to the place where Alice and Ann were looking, they could see Alex standing in the air.
"Sorry for being late, I was hunting some beasts," Alex spoke with his right hand scratching his head.
"It's fine, just tell me what you found," Alice responded with a light smile as she saw Alex descending.
'Master!!' Noctura directly jumped on Alex as he landed on the ground.
'There, there,' Alex patted Noctura while supporting her back with his other hand so as to not let her fall.
'Take me with you next time...' Noctura whined.
'Hm, I will,' Alex nodded inwardly.
"Yeah, I found out which direction we should move, and there were a lot of beasts there..." Alex replied to Alice's words.
"I see," Alice nodded and then turned towards the raiders who had already stood up, ready to move.
"All right, let us not dilly dally anymore.
The faster we move, the quicker we clear the gate, and the faster we clear the gate, the faster we get to go home.
I don't know about you guys, but I would prefer watching some movie while eating some chicken as I relax on my couch rather than roaming around in a gate filled with beasts."
Alice spoke with a smile causing the raiders to smile.
"Let's move now!" Alice spoke and seeing the raiders nod their heads, she turned toward Alex who still had Noctura over him.
"Lead the way," she said with a smile.
"Of course," Alex responded while placing Noctura on the ground who ran into the bushes and vanished in them.
What no one could see was that Noctura just went in the bush to activate her ability out of everyone's sight and after activating it, she started walking right behind Alex like his shadow.
Just like that, the Raiders slowly moved, while fighting and killing beasts on the way.
It took them some time as they were just walking while fighting as well but after three hours of walking, they finally reached the spot where they could see the end of the forest.
"Let's race!"
Maggie spoke as she ran ahead of everyone, the raiders exchanged glances and followed behind.
Alice, Ann, and Alex just smiled looking at that.
They didn't stop them from having a bit of fun as the last three hours of the journey were quite relaxing with not many beasts coming their way.
Then there was Alex who could just tell them if there were any beasts coming their way, and since he didn't stop them meant that there was nothing to worry about. see-more-MVLeMpYr
But then they heard Maggie's shout....
"What the hell happened here?!"
Alice and Ann looked towards Alex, but Alex didn't look back at them. He was acting like he could not feel their gaze and continued to walk slowly.
Alice and Ann exchanged a look and rank toward Maggie, they could tell from Alex's reaction that it was not some beast or anything, but they had some doubts after they saw Alex avoiding eye contact.
When they arrived at the outskirts of the forest, they instantly knew the reason for Alex's behavior.
"Sigh…..." Alice just sighed as she saw the scene in front of her.
"So, this is why he said that there 'were' many beasts here..."
Ann commented as she still remembered how she felt that Alex's tone when he said 'were' was a bit weird, and now she understood why she felt that.
""What!!!""
The raiders standing in front were shocked for another reason as they didn't think that the scene in front of them was possibly done by a human.
After all, no matter how far they looked all they could see was the charred body of who knows how many beasts, while the grass which was supposed to be green had turned red or black because of the heat.
They could still see a fire burning over some beast's body, burning them even now, when it had already been three hours since Alex had returned. That's just how hot it was here.
They could tell that this was supposed to be a vast green field where herbivore beasts would graze in herds. But all that was left right now was this....
There was no sign of life as far as they could see, which meant more than a kilometer radius.
"You could've taken care of them in a more civilized manner, right?" Alice turned toward Alex who had arrived beside them as well.
It wasn't new to her, she had seen Alex do that a lot, sometimes he would want to enjoy the fight and sometimes he would just end the battle in seconds. That's just how he was, everything depended on his mood.
She seemed to have forgotten that she does the same....
"Well yeah, but this was the easiest way..." Alex spoke with a shrug and the raiders just grew more and more shocked.
They couldn't understand how Alice and Ann treated this normally. Even Frank was shocked as he finally realized how silly his idea of revenge was in the first place.
All the raiders looked at Alex and then sighed…..
How could they have known that they had been moving along with a live nuke all the time?
But still, somehow, they didn't feel afraid of him, even after seeing all of this. The only thing that changed was that in their minds, Alex had become much more stronger and reliable.
"How are we supposed to cross this boiling land then?" Ann asked Alex with a sigh.
She somehow already knew how Alex was going to answer Alice.
"Oh, let me take care of it."
Alex spoke as he lifted his right hand up and the next second, everyone could see a large tornado forming in front of them, but it didn't end there as slowly the tornado started spraying water as it rotated.
Alex was using both wind and water elements to create a water tornado out of nothing and slowly the area started cooling down and the fire that was burning started to shimmer down.
The tornado slowed down after its work was done and then slowly it vanished into the air.
"There, done."
Alex spoke with a smile.
The raiders just looked at this with their mouth and eyes wide open.
"Anything else?" Alex asked Alice with a smile.
Alice just sighed, and so did Ann.
"No…." Alice spoke and after that, she turned towards the raiders who were still standing like statues.
"Get used to it, you guys. I did, and I know you will as well.
Now let's move!"
Alice's command brought them back to reality and after looking at Alex for a while they all nodded their heads.
"Oh? We already have a herd of beasts running towards us just to welcome us."
Alex suddenly spoke up as they were about to walk.
His words caused the raiders to get on high alert and they vigilantly looked ahead.
