The unknown was cause for great fear and there was a saying that people feared what they could not understand. All of this was true, and it was clearly reflected in all the team members as they watched with bated breaths the unknown thing that was making its way towards them.The thing about soldiers is that they were trained to head-on into battle where the certainty of death was unknown. Having been trained to overcome their fear of the unknown, every soldier was able to face whatever danger posed a threat to their lives.It was the same now as, despite their fear of what was coming, these soldiers braved those fears and stayed in formation as they continued fighting without panic.The doom world was a place that was filled with countless unknown dangers. The things that could kill a human in a world that was completely hostile to mankind were so numerous that they couldn't be counted. This was a place where the cowardly and timid had no chance of survival. As trained and battle-har
Inside the sandstorm, a brilliant flash of white light spread out for about two kilometers, forming a path of light that trailed into the distance. A massive explosion sounded off from the center of the path of light, carrying with its intense heat and powerful explosive force that blasted everything within a two-kilometer radius to dust. Shock waves traveled from the center of the explosion, which ended up pushing the sand and winds of the sandstorm away from the center of the explosion.Right in the center where the explosion had originated, the only figures that could be seen left standing after the explosion were those of Constantine and the fifty soldiers who were not far from each other. Right now, there was a small smile on Constantine's lips as well as a slightly exhausted look in his eyes. He still maintained the posture of him punching the ground, and a crater was formed at the place his fist came into contact with the ground.Surprisingly, the crater was not actually that l
"Hello, how are you all doing? Are you guys okay?"As Constantine approached the team of soldiers, he asked out of concern. Not wanting to spook the soldiers, Constantine called out loudly from afar as he slowly approached them.The team of soldiers was just about recovering when they heard Constantine's voice and they looked over and saw him closing in on them. Immediately, as if on reflex, the soldiers picked up their weapons and aimed them at Constantine and while the twenty with the shields hoisted the battered and cracked shields against their bodies as if preparing to defend against a great enemy."Stay back! Don't come any closer!""Don't move!""If you so much as move a single muscle or I swear to god I will blow brains all over the sand!"The soldiers screamed as they told Constantine not to get any closer.Seeing the reaction of the soldiers, Constantine hurriedly came to a stop and raised his hands in the air in a non-hostile manner to signify his friendliness. Just like th
The tension was high between Constantine and the soldiers as both of them stubbornly faced confronted each other.As soldiers, it was understandable that they would be rather rigid in their approach toward unknown entities in a hostile environment. No one could fault them for being cautious and expecting Constantine to meet their demands.Unfortunately, Constantine could be rather stubborn himself, too. As a teenager, Constantine was in that phase where his hormones raged and he became unruly and rebellious. Most of the time, he was well behaved due to this proper upbringing, so his stubbornness was not clear normally. But now that Constantine had come in contact with the extraordinary and he came to experience an incredible burst in strength, his unruly behavior was normally suppressed came to light at this moment.Facing the energy rifles of the soldiers, Constantine showed no signs of fear as he directly made his discontent known.After lowering his hand, Constantine made provocati
There was no time to waste. The commander had to come to a decision immediately...Seeing the sandstorm swarming towards them, the commander could only grit his teeth and say to his fellow soldiers."Everyone, lower your weapons now."At the commander's command, the soldiers could only reluctantly lower their shields and weapons. Although they were very reluctant, they understood that unless they cooperated with Constantine, they might not be able to survive at all. In that case, they could only take a gamble and trust Constantine for now.After the soldiers lowered their shields and weapons, the commander quickly turned to Constantine and said, "Alright, we've done as you said. Now what?""You said you have a way to get us out of here. How are you going to do that?"Constantine nodded his head after seeing that the soldiers were willing to cooperate. It would have been a real pity if they didn't want to do so. Constantine had been fully ready to leave them in the lurch if they insist
Did they have a better idea?The soldier commander could not reply because he admittedly didn't have a better idea to get out of this situation. If he did, he would have already done it and he wouldn't have to wait in despair to die like now. But now wasn't the time to think about this.As soon as the storm covered them once again, the commander quickly ordered his men to raise their rifles and shields and resume their defensive position. The dooms attacked swiftly without giving any chance for the soldiers to gather their thoughts.This time, Constantine did not help the soldiers to defeat the dooms. He didn't even lift a finger to defend himself as he simply erected a lightning barrier around his body that directly vaporized any doom that came close to him.It was not that Constantine didn't want to help them like before. It was not much of a problem for Constantine to casually throw another nuclear fist down on the ground to repel the dooms as he did before. Although the nuclear fi
As soon as the stronger dooms started attacking Constantine, the soldiers noticed this change immediately. The pressure on them had not lightened, but the soldiers subconsciously eased when they were no longer under the scrutiny of those dooms.It was very uncomfortable being looked at like prey. That was exactly the way the doom saw these soldiers, prey. And it was the duty of the weaker dooms to serve as cannon fodder to exhaust the strength of the soldiers so that the stronger dooms could swoop in and slaughter them like lambs.Now that the stronger dooms had seen a more delectable prey, they no longer watched the soldiers like hawks, which eased the psychological pressure they felt.Unlike the other soldiers, the commander frowned as he watched the dooms attack Constantine. he was wondering why Constantine was able to draw those stronger dooms away. logically, Constantine's treatment should not be any more special than theirs was. So what was it about Constantine that was differen
The commander was starting to understand why Constantine was more threatening to the dooms than his team combined. It probably had something to do with Constantine's extraordinary powers being more developed than theirs were.There was a study conducted by researchers on earth that tried to determine the behavioral patterns of dooms and how they picked their targets of attacks. After extensive research, the researchers were able to come up with a few results.The first conclusion the researchers arrived at was that the dooms picked the locations they would attack based on the density of human habitation. In other words, the dooms mainly attacked places where humans gathered on a large scale. For example, in cities and towns. These places were always the key locations for dooms to attack.Another finding saw that the doom determined their targets based on the overall strength of the individual humans in an area. In other words, they always targeted places where powerful, extraordinary
