After travelling east for two whole days, the four of them have finally come very close to the allied city of metropolis, they have been sneaking past many strong zombies and having to fight many normal level two zombies on their way. They have finally arrived at the river that crosses the road, blocking the way to the city. Alex stood and have some deep thoughts.“There are certain things that you need to know before we cross this river and head to the city over there.” Alex said all of a sudden. He walked back to a tree that was nearby and sat on a concrete bench. Edith, Elise and Cara all walked up to him and sat in the bench opposite the one he is seated.“Listen to me carefully, Metropolis is not the kind of city you think it is, it will never be. I want us to understand a certain number of things about the power structure and how things work behind those walls before we get inside.” Alex said.“How exactly is the city still standing despite the apocalypse and you know.... the ri
After hearing what Alex said, the city guards on the fence all relaxed a little and from the other side, five evolvers who Alex instantly could tell are enhancers jumped down from the fence and started walking towards them. They approached them in a single line and stay in front of them without saying anything at all.“What are they doing? They just lined up in front of us like that, at least they could talk to us!” Cara asked.“Oh these ones cannot talk, they used to be able to but at they had their tongues taken as payment for awakening their evolver powers, this is one of the prices people are willing to pay to survive in this world at the moment. I personally cannot say if that is a fair trade or not. But I can tell you this, right now they are no longer just prey. Because they are under the protection of one of the most powerful women in the city, the banshee.” Alex said.From over the fence of the city, Alex has already found the banshee waiting for the perfect moment to show h
The room that Alex got for the four of them has only two beds and as usual, Alex took one bed with Elise while Edith and Cara shared a bed as well. After washing up and having dinner, they all went to sleep, except for Alex and Cara.At midnight, a shadowy figure snuck into the inn from the chimney at the lobby, carefully sneaking into the hallways and making its way to the room that Alex and the girls are in. the figure removed its hood and revealed a woman dressed in black clothes. She has dark skin and a small stature that make other people think she is unfit for combat.She produced three pieces of wire and picked the lock on the door, she gently opened the door without making a single sound and snuck into the room. She immediately turned around and slowly closed the door so that the patrol guards in the inn would not find out that she has snuck into the room.The inside of the room is completely dark without a single candle lit, but she is completely able to see what is where eve
As soon as the blade hit the base of his neck and broke, the first guy turned around and wanted to run.“Fuck it, she said the target just arrived in the city for the first time, but that is clearly not correct! He is a transmuter and I am out of here!” he shouted and took off but Alex quickly used the tip of his finger to stab the remaining two guys who were paralyzed by shock of finding out that Alex was an evolver just like themselves.Immediately he stabbed each of them in their chi point, they fell on the floor still conscious of themselves. On the other hand Alex quickly ran after the escaped third person and as he reached the end of the hallway, he noticed that the guy had just jumped out of the building so he did the same too while telling Edith and Cara to tie the two he left in front of the door up and move them into the room.While in the air, he saw the third guy run towards the farm fields that have been converted from the city park in to a farm for growing food in large
“Good, for starters, I want you to put these two in the dimensional pocket. I will deal with them later.” Alex said.This surprised Nadia very much because she has kept the fact that her ability has a special ability attached to it that lets her also move physical objects of certain size into a separate dimension from reality, she has only used the power when she was alone and has never said anything to anyone about it.“How? How do you know that? I have never said anything to anyone about that power! I have only used it thrice and I was sure there was no one around to see me use it. How do you know that and just who are you?” She asked.“Oh dear, it would save you time to not waste your time with such questions as we are still asking the same things. Alex has always known things that I personally believe should be impossible for him to, he knew exactly where I was when I was kidnapped by a psycho and we have never met before. If that is not enough for you, he also knew that the apoca
Edith’s breath has become shallow, her body temperature has fallen drastically and it is becoming more and more difficult for her to keep up the fight.“You must be realizing it now, I am sure at first you thought that since our powers are not that different in level and type, you could hold on your own against me, but you are wrong. In a contest against time, unless you have some secret flame skill, you have lost against me. I will enjoy desecrating your body all over the place after I defeat you.” The woman with the ice power said.Instantly, Edith realized that she could have beaten the woman in first five minutes of their fight has she been thinking straight.As the woman walks even closer to Edith, she suddenly stopped on her track seeing.“What exactly are you laughing at? Has the frost of my power frozen your brain so much that you have gone mad?” the woman asked, but Edith only continued to smile, eventually started giggling and transitioning into an outburst of laughter.“I c
“No one leaves before the queen does. No one enters before the queen does! Those are the rules set by the heavens and for those that defy the will of the heavens, what is the punishment?” the twenty in nun uniforms shouted.“Death! Dearth! Death! Death!” the rest of the people shouted over and over again.Alex turned around and said.“We cannot get out of here right now unless we want to fight two hundred evolvers and normal humans who are under the curse of enchantment and control of Celen. We should just wait for them to the few they are here to awaken and we can do out business and be on our way. We have a walking disaster to fight.” Alex explained, so instead of engage and fight the followers of Celen, Alex lowered his head and apologized to them.“All hail the Goddess!” he said and they allowed them to walk back into the building complex.It was at this moment that a man Alex never though he would ever see again walked out of crowd of Celen’s followers and waved at them to come o
“Can you just take care of them quick so that we will get to hunting the zombie we are here for?” asked Elise and Alex could not hide how surprised he is to hear Elise of all people asking him to dispose of people and do it quickly.With a big smile on his face, Alex turned and shook his head in disapproval of her proposal.“As much as I am surprised that you are asking me to take care of them, I believe this is a big opportunity for both you, Cara and Nadia to experience fighting other evolvers. I think Edith and myself will sit this one out.” Alex said.“You should be serious with them, all of them are level four evolvers that Celen has invested blood essence into and they are pretty strong. You should each play to your strength against them, they don’t call themselves apostles of Celen for nothing.” Edith added.At this moment, two of the apostles have pulled out long swords and are approaching. Cara took the opportunity and pulled out her sword.“I will take these two!” she shout
