End of The World? Time to Level Up!

Chapter 46



Fantache: Is the fight over?

She said looking around like a meerkat and slowly jogged towards her fallen comrade who was struggling to breath.

Krieg: Fantache use one of your puppet to carry me back home he said as he fell on his back and passed out.

Fantache: If the entire Hunter Corp is as strong as this man we are going to be in serious trouble.

She summoned Fowl soul and with its remaining arms picked up Krieg and started to walk out the city when she turned to Sebastian she sent him a big grin.

Fantache: Time to take my prize!

She sent strings out her glove and just when they were going to touch the fallen teen a ring of golden flames appeared around Sebastian burning the strings away. From the flame walked out Captain Nikuya her eyes glowing red and she had a look of pure fury etched in her face.

Nikuya: Are you the one who did this to Sebastian? She said in a tone dripping in venom.

Fantache shook with fear and a flick of the wrist Dolly came out sprinting towards Nikuya who simply glared at the corpse and swung her sword down cutting down Dolly straight in two and giant gash forming seconds later in the ground due to the force.

Fantache: Screw this !

She ran out the town and then she bit her thumb and dripped it on the floor her eyes glowed.

Fantache: Come to my aid my Loyal Servant: [Balmug]!

The ground light up and when it settled down a giant dragon purely made of bones and pieces of flesh roared shaking the ground. Fantache with a huff jumped on the head of the dragon and Fowl Soul carried Krieg with him on the head of the dragon as they flew off.

Solider 2: Captain do we chase after them?

Nikuya glared at the the shape getting smaller in the distance and then sighed as she turned to face Sebastian that was surrounded with Jim,Matt,and Rex.

Nikuya: We need to head back to the city for now,we can go to the jungle another time.

She said as she whistled and the separate squads came out the town majority of them were bruised and injured while groaning they saluted at their captain.

She started to walk back to the truck and 2 soldiers put Sebastian on a emergency stretcher they bought incase someone was hurt.

When the squad arrived at the truck they entered quietly in the back, the joyous and arrogance they held earlier two days ago was completely gone, they thought the ghoul were over hyped as this force that consumed everything in its way and they were actually weak plus they could gain fame from killing a few.

This was not how it went... Friends lost other friends due to their own fear and others due to being overconfident thinking they can handle a high mutation ghoul.

The people that released this the worst were Matt,Jim,and Rex, Matt heard from Jim when he woke up that he had been knocked out in one punch and had to be carried away otherwise they would have gotten in Sebastians way.

The three teens were ashamed,earlier in the day they bragged but now with knowledge of what was really out here they kept their mouth close if only they took notice of Sebastian's tone when he asked the question of "Have you been outside".

The truck suddenly stopped and they climbed out the back and was completely filled with fear and dread. In Front of them was a sea of ghouls walking over the highway and they all started to run towards the truck .Captain Nikuya threw the car door closed and a vein could be seen throbbing on her forehead.

Nikuya: This was all i need to end this shitty two days, so be my stress release will yah!

She shouted and her katana exploded with golden flames.

After half an hour all the soldiers jaws were on the floor as the once huge swarm of ghouls was completely gone. Nikuya sheathed her katana and climbed back in the truck the soldiers fumbled with their weapons and climb in the back of the truck.

The drive went by quickly as they arrived at the gate a crowd appeared and cheered for them once they returned but everyone was to ashamed to get their praise so they kept seated in the truck causing the crowd to look around confused,"Didn't they come home early due to finishing the mission quick" they all thought.

When the truck finally stopped they saw they arrived at Squad 5 medical bay and Hanabira with Sapphire were waiting for them with other medical personal. Nikuya climbed out the truck and walked up to the duo.

Hanabira: How many are injured? She asked while putting white gloves on as they stuck to her hands tightly.

Nikuya: 6.

Nikuya: 3 were rookies and the rest were veteran.

Nikuya: Sebastian Topaz was one of them she said a tone of regret in her voice looking over at Sapphire.

Sapphire: Wait Sebastian?!

She frantically put her white gloves on and then sprinted towards the truck a team with a stretcher behind her close.

Hanabira: Sebastian is far from weak what got him she asked walking to the truck slowly,Nikuya next to her.

Nikuya: It was Kreuzfahrer...

She said seriously making Hanabira show a face of shock.

Hanabira: Kreuzfahrer?! How many and what rank?

Nikuya: There were 2 well one didn't have a uniform on but his partner or whatever she was had one on.

Nikuya: She was Head officer rank because she had the hat to signify it like how we Captains got our coats.

Hanabira: No wonder Sebastian lost, Head Officer's are on the same level as us Captain's, and he faced 2?

Nikuya: The one that knocked him out i suspect was also extremely injured so Topaz did put up a fight.

They arrived at the back of the truck and Hanabira gasped at the sight of Sebastian, he was injured very badly and Sapphire had Mad Doctor's Student syringe already in Sebastian's chest.

Sapphire turned to Hanabira and tears were pouring out her eyes.

Sapphire: M.D.S[Mad Doctor's Student] isn't doing anything Captain she cried out.

Hanabira shouted a few orders and the stretcher team sprinted into to the hospital.

Ominous blue clouds were slowly forming in the sky.
