The Soul System in the Apocalypse-Chapter 57: Increasing Combat Experience
Chapter 57: Increasing Combat Experience
Chaos immediately erupted in the city. In succession, those that were in hiding suddenly began rushing out while screaming. At that moment, the people that they had been so close to had suddenly turned against them and started attacking them.
This had not only frightened them, but also herded them into a disposition of not understanding what was going on anymore. Although they had seen the prompt that had appeared in front of them, there was nothing that they could use to explain the situation.
After all, they remembered that they had previously gone to sleep, when they were suddenly attacked. Those that lived In shabby houses, suddenly felt the doors of their house being broken down.
And in the next moment, they faced a large group of monsters that had attacked them. Considering the fact that they did not have any physical advantages over the monsters, majority of the citizens were easily massacred.
And just as they were relieved that they had survived, suddenly, their friends began making inhumane sounds as they attacked them. No matter how much they tried to talk them out of it, there was nothing that altered.
But, where could these people run to? Nowhere! The moment they rushed out of their hiding places, they suddenly met with a random group of monsters that had been loitering around the streets.
These monsters of course didn’t delay to attack. As long as the creature in front of them was not a monster, they would attack. And in fact, even the zombies were not spared.
But the most astonishing thing was the fact that, these zombies were completely fearless. They would occasionally jump on the monsters, and bite them fearlessly.
Roars of pain and anger filled the air as the zombies and monsters collided with each other. Even though it was true that the monsters were stronger, the zombies were immensely innumerable.
At this moment, there were millions of them. As such, although the monsters managed to tear apart some of the zombies, they were overwhelmed after some time. And through biting, the zombies managed to dispatch the monsters one after the other.
It was as If the jaws of the zombies had become even stronger, while the teeth had already become stronger and sharper. For that reason, no matter who it was that they bit, they would be able to tear away a piece of flesh.
It was also during this period that the monsters suddenly realized that they would not be able to get any advantage in the city. And for that reason, they began retreating one after the other.
And in no time, the number of monsters present in the city had been reduced drastically, that it had become a rare occasion to be able to see a monster moving around in the city.
The mutant warriors on the other hand had also began making their moves. They had realized that some of the mutant warriors had also turned into zombies, and they were way stronger than the ordinary zombies.
But still, they lacked intelligence, and as a result, these mutant warriors managed to kill them easily using their wit. And after that, they suddenly realized that just the way they had killed monsters, there would be things that would be dropping.
These mutant warriors enthusiastically picked up the drops, aiming to strengthen themselves.
....
In the sea....
A yacht was moving at the fast speed in the water. Water was parting ways following the magnitude of the yacht passing through. Even though the waves had suddenly become stronger, the tenacity of the yacht was not to be underestimated.
No matter how harsh the waves were, the yacht managed to move on as if there was no obstruction at all. As for any aquatic creature that was trying to attack them, it was easily neutralized by the equipments that the yacht possessed.
Unquestionably, there were always exceptions. For instance, there was a gigantic whale that had attacked the yacht. Although the attack systems of the yacht had been launched, the attacks landed on the whale but there was nothing much it could do on it.
Other than the small scratches that they were leaving on the skin of the whale, there was no any other damage that was unleashed on the whale.
The whale got agitated the moment that it was attacked continuously. And for that reason, it aggressively charged towards the yacht. Its aim was to tear apart the yacht in front of it.
Henry frowned when he saw this from the monitors present in the room. He had also noticed that this whale was unusual. After all, from all the time that he had been observing this, he had noticed that all the creatures that attempted to attack the yacht had all been obliterated.
Additionally, not most of the aquatic creatures could catch up to the speed of the yacht. However, the whale on the other hand was already approaching it, and at a fast speed.
Although he did not know about the capabilities of the whale, he was sure that it had already surpassed the O Rank. That implied that it was at least in the Bronze rank.
Even though the defenses of the yacht could handle any creature that had reached bronze rank level 3 and below, Henry wasn’t sure about the whale’s current level.
Bang!
Just as Henry was hesitating about what to do, the whale suddenly bumped into an invisible wall. The waters in the surrounding area shook due to the collision, making the waves even more aggressive.
The whale retreated, however, its eyes had already turned bloodshot. Without hesitation, it once again charged forward. But, the same results repeated themselves as the whale was not able to approach the yacht’s 50m radius.
Henry finally heaved the side of relief. They were still a distance away from the mainland, and it would have been troublesome if the yacht that they were in was suddenly destroyed.
With that thought in mind, Henry focused on the map before him. The closest city possible was Crystal City. They had to get out of the waters as soon as possible.
In case they were forced to fight here, they would definitely be at a disadvantage. After all, how long were they going to be capable of holding their breath inside the water?
Although he had received a prompt before, he did not understand what the real descent over the apocalypse meant. But still, he had a bad feeling about this.
If it was just the appearance of monsters that were at the same level as the two-headed wolf, then Henry wouldn’t be so worried. Nonetheless, his gut feeling was telling him that something was amiss.
He noticed that they would be able to arrive on the mainland after about an hour or so. Therefore, he decided to enter the system space and utilize this chance to train on something.
He knew what was important during the apocalypse. It was not just a matter of possessing great strength, but it was also a matter of how to utilize the strength that one possessed.
He felt that his surroundings had suddenly twisted, and he suddenly appeared in a space that was red in color.
The moment that Henry entered the system space, he immediately decided to practice the skills that he possessed. He wanted to increase his combat experience.
Even though he possessed skills and techniques to utilize the sword, he had never engaged in a fight with humans. As such, he had to do something along the lines.
Just like usual, with just a single thought from him, he was able to simulate a fight between him and another person of the same level as him. However, this person possessed all magic, and at the same time, sword skills.
Thankfully, inside here, not only was Henry not going to be tired, but also the time outside this space was not moving. For that reason, although he didn’t have that much time here, he didn’t hold back when he was attacking.
Bang!
In just a few moves, Henry was suddenly thrown to the ground. He could feel the pain that was coursing through his body. He couldn’t help but wince.
’I guess I am too overconfident.’ Henry talked to himself as he stared at the faceless person in front of him. He had realized that the person before him was actually out of his league.
And for that reason, no matter how long he was going to fight that person, there was no way that he was going to improve, he was simply going to receive a beating and injuries.
With a thought, he was able to downgrade the powers that the person in front of him possessed. And for that reason, the person before him currently possessed wind magic.
In no time, the two of them had once again began engaging in a fight. And at this moment, Henry suddenly realized that, although the abilities that his opponent possessed degraded, the skills had not.
Consequently, he was beating once, and beaten again, and again. However, he was able to improve from being beaten within 5 minutes, to 10 minutes, to finally 20 minutes.
After a full 30 minutes, Henry had improved greatly. At this moment, he had suddenly realized several methods that he could utilize the skills that he possessed to deal much damage.
Successively, instead of improving the strength of the person that he was facing, he decided that he was going to face two of them at the same time. He wanted to know what to do during a pincer attack.
But of course, it always began with him getting beaten up. And this time, he was beaten in just about 2 minutes before he was thrown onto the ground.
Had it not been for the fact that he wouldn’t die inside here, Henry would have already died by now. But thankfully, although he was feeling the pain, there was not a visible wound on him.
Managing to go through the pain, Henry once again engaged in a fight with the two people in front of him. He currently knew that he possessed greater potential than that.
And for that reason, he had already set a target that he had to be at a stalemate with the two that he was fighting against before the final 30 minutes elapsed.
