Jed looked up at the sky where nine creatures of storm raided the base with lightning and thunder, heavy rain that came out of nowhere drenched him in seconds.
He saw them. All nine of them.
Large reptile body covered in reflective scales. Massive manta ray-like wings with undulating membranous texture that stretched wide, and long flexible tail with a series of electric discharge nodes along its length.
One of them, the nearest monster, flailed its tail and electricity gathered around it. In three seconds, a streak of thunder crackled from it, strucking a tower somewhere in the base. The monster opened its hooked beak widely, and Jed felt something worse was about to come.
His instinct told him to close his ear as the monster emitted a powerful roar. It generated shockwaves that shattered all glass windows and damaged some nearby bu

The heavy rain still pounded against the damaged buildings and the open ground of the Nevaksha Base. Lightning flashed across the sky as thunder followed a few seconds later. The manta ray reptile monsters teamed up to bring their advantage of storm to raid the base, how clever.Eyes sharp, the strongest captain of the EADF tried to locate where the invisible humanoid boss was. But, the manta ray reptile monsters attacked first. Their electric tails crackle with energy, sending precise thunder to strike him.Max dodged to the side, rolling to avoid the thunder.

Max barely managed to block the attack with the butt of his ri

Jed got paralysed.Freaking pathetic.He should have known better not to dip his hand on someone’s cookie jar. He didn’t even hesitate then.The moment his fingers made contact with Max’s specialised weapon, the warhammer’s security system activated, paralysing him in excruciating pain. His muscles locked, his vision blurred, and he crumpled to the floor, unable to move or call for help.The roars and shrieks of the manta ray reptiles echoed through the dark halls, the louder one being on the other side of the armoury’s steel doors. His heart pounded as he got paralysed, knowing the creature was moments away from breaching the armoury.A blaring roar from the flying monster made the steel doors shudder, an impact from the shockwave it generated. Metal screeched and bent, and with each second, the creature came closer to breaking through.Jed watched in horror.Another powerful roar resounded, sending thunderous shock wav
Bucket List of the Apocalypse: Devour System 39. Automatic Defense Mechanism
[Alert!]An excruciating pain exploded through Jed’s body, more intense than anything he had ever felt. As if his spine was being torn apart, each nerve set ablaze.[Alert!]He tried to scream in pain, but no sound escaped his lips.[Alert!]Pain continued to surge through Jed, his vision swimming with darkness. Just as he thought he couldn’t endure it any longer, the blue and white screen that only he could see appeared like a glitch.[Automatic Defense Mechanism activated.]Like a burst of light, a translucent sphere shield appeared, enclosing Jed’s paralysed body in the centre. The next second, Jed could no longer feel any pain, as if the severe agony was a mere hallucination, and he could move again.Hovering in the middle of the three metres translucent sphere, he noticed that everything trapped inside was destroyed. Except for him and the specialised warhammer belong to max. Thankfully, his clothes were
Bucket List of the Apocalypse: Devour System 40. The Coward’s Way
Ryan Tanner crouched behind a low concrete wall, clutching his automatic gun tightly. His breath came in shallow bursts as he scanned the dark base.The manta ray reptiles, tails charged with electricity that made them bright beacons for targets, flew near the ground. Their thick underside like a mockery, every roar resulted in a shockwave that destroyed half a building.“Tanner, you draw its attention and keep it busy. I’ll circle around and take it down from behind.” Charlie’s voice crackled through his earpiece.Groaning in distaste, Ryan ran ahead and disappeared into a building. He didn’t want to be a decoy, even if it was for his own platoon leader. His pride was too big for such a small role like support.He wanted to take down the alien monster and get the glory for himself.“Hey, what are you doing?” Charlie sounded more aggravated, “I said, you’re the decoy!”R
Bucket List of the Apocalypse: Devour System 41. Humanoid Alien Monster
Jed didn’t know if the threats he said to Ricky were enough to snap him back to reality. But, he believed that stupid blond would stop panicking and show his true potential.He didn’t really know what’s the deal with Ricky. As long as he observed, Ricky was always panicking one time, and could easily kick ass in the other. For all he knows, the blond might also suffer from the same mental illness as Ellie Hawkins. Bipolar disorder or something like that.Either way, he also delivered the weakness of that manta ray reptile to the platoon leader Charlie Odell. He had contributed to the team. Now, he had an alibi, in case he needed to disappear and eat some cores.Shaking his head to clear his mind, Jed gripped the special weapon in his hand. Thankfully, the security measurement was off, so he didn’t have to fear another crippling, agonising paralysis anymore. His mission now was to carry the heavy warhammer through the dark base to where Ma
Bucket List of the Apocalypse: Devour System 42. Extraterrestrial Armament No. 4
Max stood in confidence despite the raging storm above Nevaksha Base. The rain pelted down, turning the ground muddy. His specialised weapon, the warhammer, hummed with his synergy force.EXA-4.03Extraterrestrial Armament number four, third prototype.A warhammer made using an alien monster’s unique body parts to draw out its specific strength. The ability to manipulate gravity. Especially made for Max. It was in his hands now, after what felt like an eternity.He glanced at the person who threw the warhammer towards him, while also targeting the humanoid alien’s back in a measly attack. It was none other than that three percent thug. ‘Jed Hunter, was it?’Jed flinched at him, probably due to his destroyed eye. It left a horrid hole on his face, a mockery to his own handsomeness. No matter.He didn’t know how the weakling did this. His specialised weapon was supposed to have a security measurement that wo
Bucket List of the Apocalypse: Devour System 43. Cutting Monsters Like Butter
On the east side of Nevaksha Base.Ricky chuckled as the small blade in his hand glinted menacingly. He set his eyes on the flying manta ray reptiles above his head. Without warning, they swooped down with open beaks. They roared, sending a shockwave that forced Ricky to dodge in haste. But, that didn’t stop him from attacking.His blade flashed, and a burst of energy sliced through one of the creature’s wings. Ut let out a piercing shriek and veered off course, crashing into a wall.The second manta ray reptile was quicker, darting toward Ricky with blinding speed and long electrified tail that shot a thunder his way. He rolled to the side and swung his blade, releasing another burst of energy. The light seared through the air, striking the flying predator and sending it reeling.Before he could celebrate it, the first manta ray reptile ws back on flight. It roared at him.Ricky dodged the shockwave that could destroy half a building,
Bucket List of the Apocalypse: Devour System 44. The Cannibal
Max was frozen in place, immobilised by the poison he didn’t know before. His end was approaching. Creeping slowly, taking in the panic that he tried to hide.“See?” The humanoid monster was too close to ending his life. “Humans are fragile. So weak and powerless, but you multiplied by thousands every day. Just like bugs, you said.”Max’s heart pounded, urging his muscles to move.“Thank you for the good food. I’ll enjoy every bit of you, human.”But, a burst of fungal structure suddenly sprung from the ground, forcing the humanoid monster to step away to not get caught inside. Separating them.Max knew what it was.“Fungal Forest.” A figure clad in jagged white full armour said from the dark, walking behind the humanoid monster with ease. “Pretty convenient trick, don’t you say?”Jed Hunter came to the rescue.The humanoid monster growled, its
