End of The World? Time to Level Up!
Chapter 20
After the 30 minute jog they arrived at the edge of the city, Theodore made a hand signal, everyone split up into their own separate team and slowly made their way into the city.
A sudden screech made Sebastian and the team look ahead, there was a group of ghouls spiriting towards them. Sebastian quickly used observe on them and rested his hand on the hilt of his sword.
System:Name:Ghoul Lvl:21{Howler mutation}
System:Name:Ghoul Lvl:20{Strength mutation}
System:Name:Ghoul Lvl: 23{Stregth mutation}
System:Name:Ghoul Lvl:26{Knight mutation}
Then the other 3 were normal level 20 ghouls that didn't have any mutations.
The howler ghoul was dangerous as when it released its cry any nearby ghoul in a 3 km radius came charging straight at them, it looked to be like a normal woman before but over its mouth was a giant maw of red crystal and it looked very skinny.
The Strength mutation was the same as the previous strength mutation, it was a very buff ghoul that was bald and had red skin while its veins were throbbing underneath it.
The final mutation was a knight type, it had a grey color to its skin, its one arm was a big spike made from bone and and over its eyes were a bone like visor that had three slits in it making it look as if it had a helmet of an old knight.
Another thing the players discovered was the way how ghouls turned people into ghouls. Everyone has the virus inside them... They only turn into a ghoul when they die, the virus takes this as an opportunity to take over the host and spread the virus by biting. When the ghoul bites the person the dormant pathogen 'wakes up' and then the person turns into a ghoul opposed to the virus only activating when the person dies.
Sebastian: May take care of the Howler before it calls for back up, Rose and Junak take care of the strength mutation, Emily and Sapphire kill the normal ones and I'll take the knight.Everyone agree?
Everyone: Yes.
Sebastian:Then lets do this. He said as he lunged straight to the knight ghoul.
The howler zombie was about to screech when it got an arrow in the head making it fly backwards, wobbly stood up and looked at the bow girl.
May: Cant have you do that now can I? She placed 3 arrows in the bow and let go.
May:[Homing arrows]{Users arrow's that have been shot can move towards the target in any direction}
The ghoul sucked in air and sent 3 screeches after each other. The screeches turned into visible waves and were going towards the arrows.
2 of the arrows were knocked away but the third one found its mark and landed straight in its chest making it groan in pain.
May: Cheap shot. She said as she sprinted towards the beast and got right in front of it.
Her arrow was vibrating and glowed green.
May:[Boar Hunter]!
She released the arrow and it launched straight into the howlers head making it explode, instantly killing it.
May breathed a sigh of relive and turned to the others.
May: Howler is down guys!
Rose: Great. She said as she grinned and dodged to the left escaping a red fist crashing down from the strength ghoul.
It had a grin on its face as it looked at the girl.
Rose: Junak you need me to quickly take care of this and come help you over there? She said as she looked at the kid.
Junak: Nah. Said the kid as he chopped the Achilles heel of the other strength ghoul and Enkidu sent a powerful hook straight in the ghouls face making it blast into a nearby building.
Juank: We got this handled.
He sent her a thumbs up and moved towards the ghoul.
Rose just grinned, her grip on her axe grew stronger as she lunged forward, brought the axe up and swung it downwards.
Rose:[Chasm Creator]!
Her axe blade glowed brown and the ghoul sensing incoming danger quickly jumped backwards but it wasn't that lucky as the axe came down way faster; it chopped his arm clean off and made a giant gash in the ground bringing dust up.
In the dust storm the ghoul looked around while clutching its stump of a left arm when it saw a brown glow right underneath it.
Rose:[Chasm Creator]!
She swung up cleaving the ghoul straight in half, the air pressure from the swing instantly cleared the dust up, the upper half and lower half of the ghoul started to turn into pixels as Rose grinned and looked at where Junak was.
Junak was walking out, behind him was Enkidu with bloody fists and it was slowly turning into pixels; dispersing into nothingness.
Junak: Took you long enough. He said and walked over to his team mate.
Rose: Nah~Was a good warm up you know.
At Sapphire and Emily, the small girl blocked with her shield when a ghoul lunged at them, Sapphire pressed the shot gun right on their fore head and shot a round; blowing their heads up completely.
Sapphire: I think that's all of them. She said while she reloaded her guns, she also looked to the distance where she saw Junak and Rose walking towards them.
When they arrived they looked over to Sebastian and sew that the Knight jumped up and was using gravity to increase its stab downwards.
Sebastian quickly rolled out the way and with a crash the ghoul landed, but while the ghoul was trying to pull the spike out of the ground it looked up and saw Sebastian spin once in the air and came down with great force.
Sebastian: One sword Style: Gesshoku{Lunar Eclipse}
May: Do you even need skills when you got those sword techniques?
Sebastian: Of course, if this was an experienced knight ghoul my sword skills wouldn't last long and I'd have to use skills.
Emily: So this was a recently mutated one?
Sebastian: Yep the color gave it away, An experienced Knight usually averages at level 30 and has a white color.
That's when they saw a black droplet fall right in front of them. Making them alert and as they looked up they saw thick black clouds above them.
Sebastian: Dammit, everyone quickly cover yourself's, DC rain is starting!
He said as he saw an empty convenience store and they quickly made it in before it started to pour, and black rain fell from the heaven.
Everyone sighed a sigh of relief and looked around the convenience store and saw that it been raided clean, when Sebastian heard his walkie talkie make static he brought it up to his ear and heard Theodore speaking.
Theodore:Too all teams listening get under cover and go to this location... In 10 minutes we will be there.
The location was a nearby mall.
Theodore: And good luck, be on guard! Scouts have warned that there are mutated ghouls in the area.
A sudden screech made Sebastian and the team look ahead, there was a group of ghouls spiriting towards them. Sebastian quickly used observe on them and rested his hand on the hilt of his sword.
