End of The World? Time to Level Up!

Chapter 22



When Sebastian looked up he saw everyone holding their weapons up, but when they saw it was Sebastian they lowered their weapons and sighed a sigh of relief.

Junak: Are they dead?

Sebastian nodded and took a health potion out of his inventory, jugged it making the cuts disperse and his Heath points going up. He also grabbed another DC coat and equipped it.

May: Wait you have another coat??

Sebastian: It's good to have a spare for everything.

He chuckled at them and then walked towards the girl that was holding onto May.

Sebastian: My name is Sebastian Topaz and this is my team. Nice to meet you.

He sent her a smile

Sebastian: And what is your name?

???: Mia Cross. She said softly

She lowered her hood and took off her cloak.

She appeared to be 11 years old and had pale white skin, she wore a grey parka jacket, underneath that she had a black t-shirt that was too big for her and she had a skirt with stockings on.

Sebastian: Mia, that's a nice name.

He smiled again and stood up straight.

Junak: Is it just me or is he completely different when speaking to little kids.

Sapphire: Well you do remember his past, maybe he just wants to help them since no one helped him beside himself back then.

Junak: Maybe he's into little girls or something.

Just as Junak said that a throwing knife went flying right next to him making him look slowly at Sebastian that gave him a big smile but you could feel the killing intent come off him.

Sebastian: Can you repeat what you just said Junak?

Junak was stuttering and said that Sebastian was hearing things. This caused Sebastian to chuckle slightly and then a soft giggling was heard as Mia was also laughing at the silliness of the two.

Rose: Hey Mia, can we ask why those people want you?

This question made the girl stop giggling and she looked down on the floor sadly.

Sebastian: Who are these worshipers of Upyr?

Mia: It's called the Church of Utopia... It started about two months ago and has spread through the city like a disease. They worship their god Upyr which is rumored to take all the followers to the promised land where they don't have to worry about food or fighting the ghouls.

Sapphire: So its just a bunch of crazy religious followers, why would they want you?

Mia: Its has to do with my skill.

She lifted her parka sleeves up and the girl's gasped as her arms were wrapped in bandages.

Mia: It's called[The Holy Grail]. My blood if ingested will increase any person's level by ten for 5 minutes, they want to use my blood to make perfect vessels for Upyr to be reborn in. They usually mix something with my blood and then they inject it into themselves making them stronger but also with the ghoul characteristics it must be from that thing they mix with my blood.

Mia: They killed my parents when I didn't comply because they took so much of my blood it hurt every time they stuck the needle in me and I had forcefully use my skill... Then I escaped when they heard a big commotion in the city and I used that as a chance to escape.

She finished and started to cry softly.

Sebastian entered his inventory and took his last health potion out and gave it to the girl.

Sebastian: This should heal your wounds. He said softly.

Mia looked at him through the tears and nodded as she drank the potions. After drinking it she unwrapped her bandages and her wounds were slowly closing.

Sebastian: For now we will protect you Mia and then after we finish our goal in the city I'll go and destroy the Church of Utopia.

His eyes glowing softly.

Mia: You cant! There are the holy 5! They are the strongest warriors, you will die!

Sebastian smiled and rubbed her head

Sebastian: I'm not dying anytime soon because who else will take care of my team?

He laughed and stood up.

Sebastian: Alright people, let's go get those generators!

Everyone: Yes!

They all put on their coats again and jogged slowly towards the hardware shop.

Emily: Hey look, we got generators. She said happily.

Junak: They are not nearly enough for the base but it is a start.

They left the store and looked around for more hardware shops but couldn't find anymore making them frustrated.

Sebastian: Damn, maybe the other teams are having better luck.

He fished the walkie talkie out of his inventory and spoke in it.

Theodore: Negative, we also only found a few generators but it wont be enough for the base with 1000 people.

Theodore: We are going to look for a bit more...what is that? Wait stop it, STOP!

The signal cut off.

Sebastian:Theodore? Theodore, come in!

Rose: What's up? She said worryingly.

Sebastian: It sounded like a commotion then the signal cut off... Do you know where they were?

May: If memory serves right they were supposed to be at the residential area by the south of the city.

Mia: That's were the main church is!

Junak: Damn, we gotta go save them!

Sebastian sighed, nodded and picked up Mia as Rose picked up Emily.

Sebastian: We gonna go fast now, so hold on tight OK?

Both the little girls nodded and the rest bolted off in that direction.

It took them 10 minutes to arrive and the team saw something shocking. The church in the middle of the residential area was surrounded by barbed wire fence and people were walking next to it but right before they closed the gate Sebastian saw people from the camp base being pushed in.

Sebastian: Alright, let's destroy this church of Utopia... What do you guys think?

Everyone: Let's kick some ass!

Sebastian smiled, equipped the midnight scarf.Everyone saw him disappear in front of them and suddenly the two guards in front of the gate got 2 throwing knives in their head killing them instantly.

Sebastian took off the scarf making him visible again and he signaled for them to come over.

Sebastian: They gonna notice something is up, we gotta enter quick.

So with a nod they all walked in to the church not noticing a bunch of eyes looking down at them.
