Looking at his brother's corpse dangling from the claw of the devil ape Thomas's eyes turned red.
“I'll kill you!"
"Hehehehe."
Hearing the angry roar of the puny human before it the ape wasn't able to suppress it's laughter. Tossing the dead body on it's claw aside it started to make it's way towards the last remaining human that was still standing.
Although these few humans were not that strong they were able to cause it a surprising amount of damage. It was humiliating to even think about it. And the only way to wipe away that humiliation was to kill off this last human.
While it might not be able to speak it still understood stuff and it wasn't difficult to understand that this human and the dead one were related. It also had an understanding of what the two spoke about which it found extremely comical.
Regardless of how angry this human kneeling before it was feeling nothing was going to change. He was still going to die under his fists.
Huff huff
Seeing that the devil ape was already coming closer and closer,Thomas tried to get up even going as far as channeling his anger at his brother's death into this. Alas this did nothing except to cause him more pain from his reopened wounds.
Thus he could only watch in despair as the devil ape continued advancing towards him with that wretched smile on its face.
“Is this the end? Sigh….am sorry brother I wouldn't be able to complete your final wishes.”
Gazing in the direction of the camp one last time he couldn't help but feel pity for the countless unsuspecting civilians inside that would probably never know how they even died.
Well all was lost wasn't it? Closing his eyes he was expecting the crushing blow of the devil ape on his head,however the expected attack never came. Rather it was a sound reminiscent of thunder that reached his ears.
“Huh?”
Opening his eyes he was shocked by what he saw.
The ape's arm was gone! Wrist,arm and all right up to the shoulder. All blasted away!
Staring at the stump that remained from it's arm a puzzled expression surfaced on the face of the ape. It was as if it was asking what happned right then as it didn't even understand what happned.
Before the pain from losing the first arm could register on it's face another shot rang true blasting away the other arm.
Probably because it was fully aware now the devil ape wasn't able to bear the pain at all.
“Grawwwwllll"
Instead of the domineering roar that I stilled fear in it's opponents it was now reduced to a roar of defeat and pain.
The worst part was that the enemy hadn't even shown itself!
As a commander tier monster it might be powerful but it wasn't invincible. It also knew when to fight and run.
Now was the time to run!
Without wasting time bothering about it's arms it turned around trying to run back in the direction it came from.
However just when it was about to step into the forest it suddenly felt a chilling breeze scrape past it's neck causing it to shiver involuntarily as it stood frozen. It was like an invincible clamp was used to join it's head down immobilising it.
Creak, creak, creak.
Turning it's head with much difficulty the devil ape looked straight in the direction of the camp,precisely on the walls in a certain direction. It's senses were screaming that death was at a hands length but it couldn't do anything but watch.
Then the dreaded moment came.
Bang crack!...
With the synonymous thunder sound the devil ape watched as a single bullet rushed towards it.At the last moment of it's life just before the bullet pierced it's glabella a look of regret flashed past it's eyes.
Why did it come here?
BOOM
*******
“Hey I need someone over here to give me a lift. There's another survivours here!”
“Be very careful with them. I said be careful!”
“We’re out of bandages? Go find more then!”
Currently, the battlefield was alive as the civilians bustled all around taking care of the aftermath of the battle.
The injured powermasters were being given the urgent treatment they needed while the dead were all gathered up to be cremated. This was a standard procedure when dealing with dead bodies just to prevent the event of them undergoing monsterization.
Sitting upright on the recliner he was placed on,endless tears continued to stream down Thomas's face as he watched his brother get placed on a seperate prye specially created to honor him before being lit.
“Brother……”
When he saw his brothers body go up in flames the silent tears turned into quiet sobs while he covered his hands with his face.
“I'm sorry for the loss."
Looking towards the source of the voice,he saw Ethan whose hand was placed on his shoulder in consolation.
Sniff sniff.
“Thanks a lot kid.”
“You're welcome.”
Watching Thomas cry, Ethan's mood was also getting soured by the second. He suddenly had this urge to kill every monster he could find but alas there was nowhere for him to vent his anger.
“Hmm!”
Touching his eyes,he was surprised to find tears actually forming on his face. Then a feeling of melancholy descended upon him. It was like he had also lost some people dear to him in the past. He just couldn't remember who they were or when. It was in moments like these that he really got annoyed with his stupid amnesia.
Sighing,he watched on as the rescue attempts were being carried out while he made a silent vow.
“This will never happen again as long as I'm alive!”
And just then the curtain of night pulled down.

Seeing this General Lebronsky who was already tired from having to deal with new problems before finishing the old ones surged with annoyance. “Talk will you!” “Sor-sorry general.” Taking a deep breath,the soldier was finally able to compose himself before saying with difficulty. “Camp Raisin was attacked." "What did you say?!” Abruptly the general rose up from his seat while a wild dangerous aura spread outwards from him causing the young soldier to uncontrollably step back in fear. “Oh!” Looking at the pale face of the soldier General Lebronsky quickly reined back his aura in.

RAISING CAMP OLD MILITARY TRAINING GROUNDS OUTSKIRTS OF BARNES CITY…. The setting sun painted the skies overhead a fiery red making it seem like the heavens themselves were set on on fire. The could cover was extremely thin allowing the spectacular scene to be in full view. Roars and screeches from monster's could be heard frequently in the surrounding forests. While some monsters were calling it a day, others were just starting theirs. Generally speaking night time was the time when most monsters were extra active. In fact some weak monsters that were usually spotted during during the day actually became more aggressive and powerful during the night. Getting stuck without a shelter or an hiding place would spell immediate death for such an individual. The inhabitants of camp Raisin were also making preparations for the night. Sentries had been deployed to monitor the four corners and walls of the camp. Huge searchlights had also been mounted on the watchtowers to p

The first thing that entered his eyes was the huge circular metal table situated at the centre of the room.

The next thing was how bright the room was and the fact that there were some communication equipment there. In fact there was a wall mounted screen that was showing a 3D map of sorts directly opposite him. It was like this place was never cut off from the grid. How was that possible?! Since day one of the apocalypse power had been totally cut off with all electrical appliances and gadgets turning useless.

Honestly speaking,Thomas felt that he wasn't supposed to ask this question. In fact he shouldn't have asked if he was being logical here. However as the leader of the Raisin camp now he just had to. He had to be selfish for the lives of the over two hundred people that was at stake if he didn't. Looking at their faces he could see the hesitation and reluctance causing him to feel like this was a lost cause. He couldn't blame them though as their fears were pretty understandable. They had just fought with a commander tier monster and it totally wrecked them.

Demon fang mountain Countless military trucks and armoured tanks with the AADAF central military base logo could be seen making their way over the rugged mountain terrain. Despite how bad the road was,the vehicles hardly shook all thanks to how well designed they were. At a single glance there were about thirty vehicles here! “Halt! Where here." Inside the drivers compartment of each of the vehicles General Lebronsky's voice could be heard causing every car to come to a stop. “Fall into formation now!" Giving the next order,the soldiers in each of the trucks quickly rushed out of the vehicles before falling into neat formations. Clearly they had practiced this for a while now. Walking out of the military jeep that he was in , General Lebronsky along with the other powermasters from the volunteering camps made their way over. “Men…were here.

Afternoon. The time of the day when the sun was at its peak. Due to the special geography of Barnes city and it's environs it received a lot of sun daily. The highest temperature recorded in the day had once reached a staggering 41 degrees Celsius! While today's temperature wasn't that high it was still hot enough to cause one to sweat bullets. With how hot everywhere was the best thing to do right now would be to sleep and that was what the sentrys of the AADAF base were currently doing. While you might accuse them of slacking off on duty they couldn't really be blamed. Furthermore,the probably wouldn't have anything to do since the monsters that were supposed to attack them would be busy battling the Hellstrike expedition force so they really wouldn't have much to do. The strike force had left the camp over two hours ago and by now they should just be approaching the mountain range,the battle that would decide if humans could continue settling around this area would soon begi

Inside the AADAF central base. The sounds of equipment and artillery being moved around could be heard in the base. Countless personnel were on ground to direct and coordinate the activities currently ongoing. WOOSH, WOOSH, WOOSH! Over a dozen armoured vans wheezed by as they drove towards a mini parking lot where they halted while military grade trucks reversed so that the ammunitions and supplies could be placed in them. Operation Hellstrike commenced today! Well technically not today as it had started ever since General Lebronsky first tabled the idea. However,in a sense it was still right as this was the first time that something tangible would be done. Previously the only thing being done was just preparations,today was the day that they would really advance to put the operation in motion. “Today finally came!" Standing at the edge of the window of the finally completed command center general Lebronsky muttered under his breath as he watched the proceedings bel
