One huge swing from the alpha gorilla comes. It’s not clear if it is trying to hug or to slam Mike’s face. But Mike immediately ducks down, and delivers a quick hook several times on the monster’s ribs.He follows it with some combos like a genuine boxer. The only difference is that he isn’t clenching his fists. He hits the monster by trusting his sharp and powerful fingers.Pieces of flesh and blood are flying around in the air. That monster groans so wild each time it gets hit. It tries to retaliate, waving his huge arms around, but the fight is really so one-sided.Meanwhile, Arifin has already reached his home. Tony comes to him looking so worried, but Arifin ignores him.“Have you seen Prof. Irwan?”“Oh, he is with your dad next door,” replies Tony.Arifin rushes out impatiently. He finds a few of Mike’s men are still in his house at the terrace. He tells them that Mike might be in danger in the woods. But none of them shows any concern.“Mike is in danger in the woods?” mumbles
That old man Acil shakes his head with some silly expression. He expresses how hard it is to imagine that Mike would find a situation that forced him to turn into his full form.That’s when Mike tells Arifin about the kind of monster he just encountered, explaining about the probability who might be the one who aimed their spotlight.“Its body looks like a big gorilla, about 4 or maybe 5 meters high. But the head is like the head of a T. Rex, with two fins and tentacles. Can you imagine it?”Acil just scrunches his face, thinking that Mike is only making a joke by exaggerating his description about the monster he was fighting.“That’s just like the kind of monster we found last week. But, are you sure about the height?” that old man doubts.“That’s the Alpha Dilophopapio,” Arifin affirms. “It’s like each pack has their own boss. I fought the same monster yesterday at the university.”On the way back home, Mike deliberately takes them to the place where he fought. He himself is only tr
They manage to get out of the woods. Mike immediately calls all his men, and tells them to stand by at the edge of the forest.They are ready with their guns and the assault rifles which they looted from the fake soldiers they killed today. But of course, those monsters don’t want to get near because of the strong floodlights in the backyard of Arifin’s house.A moment later, something big flies between the tree branches. It’s one Dilophopapio monster, which has just been thrown away by the boss.Unfortunately, it misses, and lands on the roof. It breaks the roof, and that one monster drops to the kitchen.“Arsih, let’s leave the house!” shouts Herman from the living room.The monster notices them, and rushes toward them. It sleeps a few times due to being too aggressive, making the kitchen a mess.When it just reaches the hallway, Herman comes back from the front door, and welcomes that monster with a powerful shotgun.Bang!Bang, Bang!!!Every time the monster tries to get up, anoth
As much as he wants to get to sleep, Mike finds it hard to sleep because of that last speculation that Arifin shared with him. He is not simply a war veteran, but also a leader of some organization that works like an intelligence agency. It’s indeed that he no longer actively follows the global issue intently since the end of the great war. He had only been focusing his intention in this province, simply to protect his assets and businesses. Even that had already gone because of the meteor, including his headquarters which was located in one small island in Pesisir Selatan. “I heard the rumors about them being hit by the meteors two years ago. I didn’t expect it would escalate this fast.” “Look! I only shared this from what I had in my previous life before coming back to the past,” Arifin clarifies. “Those mercenaries could just be hired by another organization. One thing for sure, the detector they used can’t be made from any countries in Asia.” Mike quite understands Arifin’s wa
The one monster that Arifin shot is still alive. And he knows Dilophocaballus monsters have sturdy exoskeleton-like armor in some parts of their body.The two shots he has released only left several small wounds on the monster’s left neck, not enough to kill it.“I need to use my bullets wisely.”It's an 8-Shot Pump Shotgun, and he only has 6 shots left. He then aims the monster’s leg, trying to hinder its movements.One shot, and one pump, and the other monsters come helping their friend by using their elongated tentacle from up close.Instead of blocking it using his barrier, Arifin decides to evade. Because he has that confidence he is able to avoid this kind of attack, and releases another shot aiming low to one of the monsters' legs.Two of the monsters are now having trouble moving. They can’t be as aggressive as before. Henry comes to help and opens fire, trying to distract the other two monsters' attention.“No!” Arifin shouts impatiently. “That gun won't be enough to kill the
He gets back inside, and closes the door. He cares not to lock the door. Instead, he rushes to a wooden cabinet nearby, and drops it behind the door.He goes to another wooden cabinet and does the same. The monster slams the door quite hard from outside, making those cabinets budge a bit.“No, get away! I’m already old, there’s almost nothing you can eat from me!”That shouting mixed with fear only makes the monster even more furious at the door. Harun can even see a bit of the monster's face and its ferocious jaws and big teeth in the middle of that slightly opened double doors.“Uurgh! Aaurgh! Aauurgh!!”The monster is getting so wild as it already sees its prey. Harun lifts a chair, and puts it above the fallen cabinets. He also pushes one desk and piles it behind the door.He then goes to one corner of the office where the monster can’t see him. He sits there, shaking in fear while holding his both knees. As the monster keeps slamming the door nonstop, he begins covering his ears.
One light bump on the door shakes her attention. She immediately gets up, hoping there’s someone coming. “Silvy?” she asks softly. Immediately, the monster outside slams the door so hard and so wild. Cindy can even hear the monster’s ferocious growl. She is petrified due to the mounting fear. She is aghast each time the monster slams the door. Until she finds the monster’s hand goes through the door. Cindy suddenly lets out a short screaming. It is so short, because she is immediately choked by the terror. The hand is stuck for a moment. The monster violently pulls its hand back, leaving a bigger hole on the door. As Cindy sees the monster’s frightening eyes, her face is becoming so pale, wet with cold sweat. The monster uses its ferocious strength to break the door apart, until it manages to destroy the handle and its lock. “Someone! Help me!” mumbles the girl terrifyingly. Out of nowhere, she hears the sound of continuous gunshots, and witnesses with her two eyes how the mons
Until Ethan stops shooting, intending to tell Eric to stop. But Jack immediately points the gun at him, forcing him to keep silent. “Are you going to risk these people’s lives only for one useless man like him?” “No!” Elma interferes. “You were the one who pushed my husband!” “Shut it! If we stop the truck to save one man, all of us will die here,” refutes Jack. Those words effectively influence the other people in that truck. They immediately hold her together while keeping her mouth shut, preventing her from asking Eric to stop the truck. “Ethan? Are you still there?” Eric shouts from the front seat. “Why do you stop shooting? They are getting closer!” Ethan doesn’t give any reply. Meanwhile, Yusuf is still trying his best running away with an injured right leg. Ethan can’t refute Jack’s words, but he can’t just ignore Yusuf either. Hence, he just ignores Jack’s threat and then jumps off the truck. Yusuf rushes to get closer to Ethan, while Ethan tries his best to ward off an
Meanwhile, in Westerpark. It’s a place that used to be a famous picturesque working-class neighborhood in Amsterdam. But it has been wrecked havoc by the alien monsters, and not so many people are still alive there right now. But there is still one beautiful mansion standing tall on one hill, with high concrete walls protecting that 2 hectares area. In fact, there’s only one family living in this area consisting of only four people. There is one underground lab right below that mansion. And there is one man in his white coat looking so desperate in front of his personal research book. “No, this is not what I want,” he cries slowly, grabbing his yellow hair in desperation. He leaves his desk, approaching one monitor which displays the work of his supercomputer in doing some kind of simulation. Not too far from that monitor, there is a unique wavy dagger with an asymmetrical shape being displayed in a glass case. That scientist only comes to observe the DNA splicing simulation being
Arifin also takes a glance at the other one who hasn’t done anything so far, which is Luis the lizard man. That man has grown his tail quite long, and no longer wears any pants at the moment. But his face is so pale, feeling intimidated by just Arifin’s gaze. Even right now, that man isn’t noticing that the bottom part of his body has turned into its beast form. He just turns by instinct, due to the danger he feels after watching how easily Arifin bullied Zaw Min. “So, you are going to turn into a cold-blooded reptile now?” asks Arifin as he prepares to handle that man, who used to be a hitman for the mafia. “But, what’s with that pitiful face?” “Ah?” Luis is shaken from his reverie, and only realizes that all the bottom part of his body has turned into the lizard legs and one big and long tail at his butt. “Well, I haven't had any big expectations from you since the beginning,” continues Arifin as he keeps walking intending to take his leave. At first, he did have an intention t
Those three are just the exact three men who betrayed Arifin in his previous life, especially Zaw Min and Jaidee. Just seeing their faces is already enough to provoke Arifin’s madness which helps him enter his Trance State.“Hey, Zaw Min!” calls Luis as he slowly turns his two hands into the shape of a lizard. “They said we only need to hold him down for an hour. We can’t kill him because the Colonel wants him so bad. Isn’t this an insult?”“Not really! I also want him to join us. You just don’t know what this man is capable of,” replies Zaw Min, who is currently looking so excited to see Arifin for the second time.“Cih! We can’t kill him, huh!” grumbles Jaidee with his annoyed face. “Then, let me handle him myself. It won’t be good if you accidentally kill him with your sabers.”“Stop bickering, you weak ass! Come anytime you want!” Arifin interferes by showing his mad face.Those words effectively make Jaidee so furious. He immediately demonstrates his skills in unarmed combat as a
He can’t simply tell that to Colonel Fermin. Because he doesn’t want to be seen as ridiculous any further.But then when he goes outside, he finds a few soldiers are lying on the ground. The situation becomes hectic as there are a few evil spirits infiltrating this medical area.Thankfully, those three shamans, even though they are not combatant-type of awakened people, they know some ways to repel those evil spirits. After all, they are not too many, since the corrupted aura that Arifin releases is somewhat weaker than usual.For the next two days, few dedemits and evil spirits keep coming during the night. Only in the next morning, Arifin is back to his consciousness.“Oh, you are awake?” One nurse approaches him and checks his condition.“Where am I?” asks Arifin as he tries to get up.But the nurse forces him to stay on the bed. “You've been unconscious for more than two days. You should just rest until you are completely recovered.”“Two days?” mumbles Arifin.He then checks his
Mike looks up, and sees Dr. Cohen hovering in the air in his beast form. And the one who just hurt Mike’s chest, Marcus, is currently perching on a branch.“That accent? An American?” asks Mike.“Yes, I’m an American,” replies Dr. Cohen nonchalantly.“Which means you are the people from the Defiance Atlantis,” Mike continues.“Hohohoo! You guess right for the second time. And guess what, our organization highly values beast-type awakened warriors like you. Why don't you join…”Mike doesn’t even let him finish his words. He jumps so quickly after running on the tree trunk, and catches Dr. Cohen off guard.“So fast,” mumbles Dr. Cohen as he holds Mike’s right hand who has stabbed his chest right on his heart.Mike makes a turn and throws Dr. Cohen to the ground. As he lands, three of Dr. Cohen’s men immediately cover their boss.“Javier, we have to buy time to let Dr. Cohen recuperate,” issues Roberto.Both Javier and Marcus intend to attack, but Mike just stands there by releasing a su
Right now, all the dedemits and evil spirits begin to look mad like before. However, they no longer hunt Arifin, but only the people who have been marked as the target.Some flesh tendrils also crawl to the building, and then pull so many female employees from the second floor, including Naomi.“Dr. Cohen, help me!”Roberto frees her and the other female employees by cutting all of those tendrils. But all of them who have been bitten, are now in the similar situation as Arifin. Their wounds are leaking the corrupted aura, which makes all those demonic creatures so eager to kill them.“Dr. Cohen! What should we do now?” asks Javier half-shouting. “We can’t stay here forever.”It’s not that hard for Javier to deal with the dedemits. But the evil spirit, he can’t even touch them until now. But those creatures have been stealing his life force every time he tries to hit them.There are some balloons made of viscous membrane popping out on that throbbing flesh. It then explodes like pus of
The kid then turns silent, waiting for Arifin to reply to his offer. He even draws his ear closer, as if provoking Arifin to plead.Arifin knows that the Grace she loves has already died in the future. And she admits that he hasn’t been that close with this current Grace either.They are still like strangers so far, and he never thought of getting close together with her like in his previous life. Because he doesn’t want to put her in a life full of danger.But he can’t just ignore her after knowing she is still alive. More than Andini, right now saving Grace is much more important to him. At least, to pay back what Grace did for him in his previous life.“Please,” he mumbles with a low voice.“What? I can’t hear you,” says the kid with a kind of childish manner.“Please, help me!”The kid chuckles again with an amused face. “Sadly, I’m just an illusion. There’s no way I can harm them. But that kris can. All you need to do is stab the kris to the ground, and tell the kris what you tru
Arifin looks so confused, mixed with desperation which starts to resurface in his eyes. Meanwhile, Dr. Cohen is just observing from above, grinning devilishly as he controls Andini’s mind and body.Oddly enough, the other four beast-type awakened soldiers are trying to make the dedemits busy with them, and prevent them from getting close to Arifin. But Javier, as he finds an opening with Arifin is still occupied by Andini’s oddity, slams Arifin’s from the side with his shoulder.>That last collision has left some cracks on two of Arifin’s ribs. He coughs up blood, and his physical condition is also dropping to 14 %.Dr. Cohen flies lower and starts persuading Arifin once more. It’s clear he really has great interest in Arifin and doesn’t want to kill him. He doesn’t care that much that all the facilities that Defiance Atlantis built for him in this place are destroyed, as long as he gets Arifin to join him.“Why? Why Arifin, why? Yo
Four floodlights have also fallen due to the chaos created by these unstoppable demons. More than half of the guards have died too. Those four beast-type awakened warriors have no other options but to help protect the few guards who still survive, while still keeping track of Arifin’s action.As they are busy in that chaos, a few people come out of the building through the main hallway. It attracts Arifin’s attention, and finds Jack and Rizal taking the ladies from the same group as Grace. But there’s no Grace amongst them.“Jack, where’s Grace and Andini?” asks Arifin as he intends to approach them.But his left leg is held down by one dedemit which has lost its legs. He just destroys the dedemits head by kicking it once.“Watt is still inside trying to get them out,” shouts Jack from afar.“What takes him so long?”“Unlike these people, their rooms are locked,” answers Rizal.Their conversation catches Dr. Cohen’s attention. That’s when he learns Arifin’s real reason why he is so in
