End of The World? Time to Level Up!

Chapter 43



The group stopped running after a bit and they were all panting while Sebastian took a deep breath returning his breathing to normal again.

Jim: What the hell was that he said panting between breaths.

Matt: Hey dude thanks for saving me i thought i was going to die.

Sebastian just nodded back at the teen.

The silence was quickly interrupted by the sounds of footsteps running when behind them appeared a ghoul that had a patient gown on. It had a big glowing crystal protruding out its head and then it suddenly started twitching quickly sprinting towards the group screaming while doing so.

Rex quickly ran towards the oncoming ghoul and then he equipped his weapon which was iron spear.

The spear was coated in orange color and then he sent multiple thrusts towards the ghoul who received all the blows and was blasted backwards.

Rex turned around and started to walk back towards the group thinking he had killed it with a one shot.

The ghoul suddenly twitched and then it started to crawl towards the group.

Jim: Watch out!

Jim pulled out a sword and shield and brought the sword down in the head of the ghoul who screamed once more and then stopped moving slowly. Purple blood slowly started to pool around it.

Matt: Why isn't it dissolving?

Sebastian: That is strange he muttered to himself.

Jim: I killed a ghoul he whispered to himself and looked at the corpse until he felt a hand on his shoulder drawing his attention.

Sebastian: Lets keep moving we need to loot a few room's and then exit this place.

Everyone nodded and held their weapons ready to fight. Matt took out his weapon which was a wooden scepter with a glowing white stone at the top. The squad looted some rooms and got iv bags,antibiotics,and other medical equipment.

While searching the room the teams killed ghouls that attacked them. Sebastian watched over the group and made sure they didn't die but let them fight their own battles. The silence was defining as the only thing they heard was there own footsteps.

Jim: You know what i find strange?

Matt: What?

Jim: We haven't heard that girl again

Matt: Hey your right maybe it was a trap

He laughed and then walked around the corner stopping suddenly causing everyone to bump into him.

Rex: What the why did you stop?

Matt with a shaking finger pointed at something in the hallway. What he was pointing at was a ghoul busy eating a corpse,but the ghoul was a child that appeared to be 12. The ghoul had jagged crystals pointing out of its elbows and blood was dripping from its mouth. It appeared to be a girl as her once blond hair was messy and filled with blood, she had a ragged patient gown on.

The ghoul stopped eating and then slowly turned to them sending them a grin.

Ghoul: Someone Help me?

She said this was the voice they heard earlier.

Matt: No way man I'm doing this!

He said and faced us when he turned back around he saw a glowing red spike right in front of his face when he was suddenly pushed out the way.

The ghoul lunged straight at Matt but Sebastian quickly pushed him out the way. Sebastian drew his sword and preformed a quick draw strike at the ghoul blasting it threw a wall.

Sebastian: I want you guys to exit the hospital quickly i saw a exit sign a few rooms back.

Jim: We aint leaving you now.

The little ghoul suddenly took a deep breath and released a shrill screech causing everyone to cover there ears. Moments after the screech footsteps were heard running towards them. Matt wanted to use a skill but a sudden force was applied on his back and blasted him down the corridor. Blood escaping his head as he crashed on the floor.

Rex: Matt!

He shouted and ran towards their fallen friend Jim right behind him.

The team looked at the direction Matt was hit from and saw it was the Fowl Soul standing there. It giggled and pointed at the group.

Fowl Soul: Food back it growled and then lunged at them.

Sebastian cussed and infused his fist with a power shot and his mana delivering a deadly hook punch against the little ghouls head blasting it back in the wall. He spun on the palm of his foot and lunged at the Fowl Soul his katana glowed yellow.

Sebastian: [Kaminari no kurasshu]!

The Fowl soul looked to the left and suddenly felt a hot sensation so it looked down to see one of its scalpel arms were off. It released a roar of pain and stumbled backwards. Sebastian swung his sword down flicking the blood on the ground.

???: I turn my back for a few minutes and this is what i come back to?

Sebastian looked behind the Fowl Soul and saw a woman walk out. The woman appeared to be in her early 20's she had the same uniform on as Sebastian except it was pure white. She had a white square military hat on. Under neath the hat she had dark green hair that reached her shoulders and she had glowing yellow eyes her skin color consisted of a pale white color.

Sebastian: Care to tell me who I'm speaking to?

The woman looked Sebastian up and down and then licked her lips.

???: I'm Fantoche its a pleasure she did a little bow.

Fantoche: I see you are part of the Hunter corp's she sighed noticing the male wearing the black uniform.

Fantoche: Why do all the hunks have to be with them and i gotta kill them

Sebastian suddenly vanished and then Fantoche felt a large amount of killing intent behind her as she looked behind her she saw Sebastian towering over her his eyes glowing red and staring straight at her.

Sebastian: I'm not dying today

Fantoche quickly jumped back but she was still shaking a bit from the killing intent.

Fantoche: What is your name?

Sebastian: Sebastian he said and then he quickly vanished again.

Fantoche reacted quickly and threw her hand up.

Fantoche: [Fowl Soul]!

Fowl soul suddenly appeared in front of Fantoche but then he got blasted sideways from Sebastian.

Fantoche: [Dolly]!

Sebastian grunted and looked down to see the little ghoul girl and one of her elbow was jammed into his side. He quickly punched her away and jumped back holding his side.

Fantoche: I can really see you are a strong person Sebastian but even you cant take on my puppets!

Sebastian: Puppets?

Fantoche: Yes with my skill [Slave Control] and my weapons Maestros gloves I'm the ultimate puppet master!

Her weapons were a pair of bulky white gloves and if you looked very closely you could see black strings coming out of the fingers.

Jim: Sebastian!

Said teen looked at Jim and saw that he was cradling a hurt Matt

Jim: Matt is pretty hurt from that one punch what is that monster.

Sebastian kept his eyes on Fantoche and opened his inventory, from it he took out a health potion and threw it to Jim who caught it.

Sebastian: Let Matt drink the potion and then get out of here and tell Captain of this person

Sebastian: Ill be right behind you.

Rex: But your hurt...

Sebastian sighed and threw them a thumbs up.

Sebastian: Ill be fine now go.

Jim and Rex reluctantly nodded and sprinted outwards towards the exit carrying Matt.

Fantoche: I gotta say pretty noble of you to let your friends escape.

Sebastian shook his head and then his hand was infused with his mana causing it to look like his entire hand was engulfed in a maroon blaze. He then pressed his glowing hand against his side where the stab wound was and sizzling was heard. The teen grit his teeth together and then after a few minutes he took his hand away showing he burned his wound closed.

Sebastian: I told them to get away since i cant go all out with them here.

Fantoche: Please don't be over confident now I'm a Head officer in my force.

Sebastian: And what force is that?

Fantoche: Beat me and then ill tell you but i hope your ready to be apart of my collection Sebastian!

She laughed and shoved her hands forwards. Fowl Soul and Dolly sprinted towards Sebastian who's eyes glowed red and he lunged at them.
