Vampire System- The Last Mystic Swordsman-Chapter 256 Invasion Of The Mystic Apes! [1]
"It's a beast invasion!"
Ho! Ho! Ho!
Almost at the same time that Rex came to this realization and exclaimed, the horse-riding Ape seemed to finish its speech of addressing the other apes as they all erupted aggressively grunting and hooting while beating their chests.
"They will move soon".
"The horse-riding Ape is about to give the order". Swift Spear said coldly as her hand moved to grab her spear.
Rex came to the Great Ape Forest for an entirely different reason, he never expected to experience such a mind--boggling twist and was shocked.
,m His shock limited his instantaneous decision making a bit but in times like this was why it was paramount to have comrades. Rex froze from the sudden shock but Cassandra did not freeze, she took over command almost instantly.
"There's a cave to the left just behind where we came from, follow me there as fast as you can to hide before the apes can discover us".
Without waiting for the others to react, Cassandra grabbed her boyfriend by the hand as she sprinted towards the nearby cave.
Like Rex, having experienced a situation that was extremely similar to this when he was way weaker as a mystic warrior, Ben froze in shock.
The dark day of Obedin City was still fresh in Ben and Rex's mind. Having felt weak and useless the other time, they began to experience the same thing again.
As soon as Cassandra sprinted away, Elanor followed with her bow and arrow in tow. Swift Spear moved even before Elanor but she paused on noticing the last member of their team that was still frozen in shock.
Looking at his burly frame but feeling his shocked mind, she felt irritated.
The usual Swift Spear would have left him without hesitation but after spending the past 2 days with the Snake Empress, though she hated to admit it, some of her values as a mystic warrior were already changing.
"I hate boys". She rushed closer and tore a slap across Ben's face.
Smack!
Ben was jolted awake by the shock of the slap which was even greater than the shock that he felt from seeing so many Apes gathered for an invasion.
Without saying a word, Swift Spear grabbed him by the hand before pulling him along. Due to them staying behind while the others moved, the closest Apes was already too close to them, they would not make it to the cave on foot.
Swift Spear's eyes narrowed as soon as she finished calculating.
The next moment, her eyes gleamed sharply as she hit a button on her waist. Instantly, her omnidirectional mystic device activated.
Whoosh!
Swift Spear grabbed Ben like a pig as she rose from the ground instantly into the skies. As soon as the engine picked up, by her will, 2 grapple hooks were shot consecutively as she was pulled away at an incredible speed.
In not less than a second, she made it inside the cave as she threw Ben on the ground just in time for the stampede of Apes to arrive.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
After receiving orders from their leaders, the Apes no longer hesitated.
In their huge numbers, they all went on the move and their destination seemed to be in the direction of the Blood Market Region.
Rex and all his companions held their breaths as they watched.
"The Monster Truck!" Cassandra suddenly exclaimed in alarm.
"It's safe". Elanor replied. "The Apes are most likely to move through the huge trees since they are still in the forest, which means they have a high chance of not meeting its position".
"As for the truck, Aragorn already set it to go stealth mode when it detects danger". Elanor said before turning her head to look at Ben.
She looked at Ben who was still dizzy and the cold Swift Spear.
…
Melkor was the commander of the Blood Market Region.
Under his command was a single Advanced mystic warrior of the old Exquisite Gang. Being used to having weaker warriors as Commanders, this 1st tier Advanced mystic warrior was the only one who agreed to serve under Melkor.
All the other Advanced mystic warriors felt that it was a disgrace to serve under an intermediate mystic warrior and for peace, Rex listened to their complaints and delegated them to other regions.
Only 1 Advanced mystic warrior guarding the Blood Market region meant that it was by far the weakest territory under the Berserk Gang.
Aragorn reasoned that this didn't matter much since the Blood Market region was at the rear of the army which meant they were the last to suffer if any gang from the Snake Territory decided to attack the Berserk Gang.
Having never witnessed a beast invasion since he arrived at the Gundam Shelter, Aragorn did not put this threat into the equation.
Now, this negligence haunted the Berserk Gang at the wrong time possible.
No news came from the scouts for some strange reason.
It was not that no news came from them, they tried to communicate and send a message of the threat across but for some reason, they could not.
Melkor's territory only knew of the threat when they heard the tremors.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
It was like an earthquake was imminent as the ground vibrated.
Dust rose high into the skies as the beasts finally charged from their territory in the Great Ape Forest. The soldiers manning the perimeter of the Blood Market territory nearly pissed their pants at the sheer size of the enemy.
Thousands of Apes charged out of the forest.
Apes with arms as big as sledgehammers, Apes with less huge arms but carrying wooden spears with athletic bodies that could enable them throw far, Apes with speeds that could rival cheetahs, the invasion had them all.
Due to the frequent beast invasions of past years, the wall built around the Gundam Shelter was already breached by the beasts in this part.
And also due to the negligence of the gangs and chaos that originally filled the Red Zone, no one ever thought of rebuilding the protective wall. 𝗳𝘳𝒆𝘦𝑤𝐞𝚋𝗻𝚘𝘷𝘦𝙡.𝑐𝐨𝘮
This decision now haunted Melkor's territory.
Boom! Boom!
The sound was like exploding dominoes as the Apes with spears threw their loads, unleashing destruction on the nearest humans who manned the perimeter.
Blood instantly dyed the remains of the wall red as warriors died in droves.
Before the beasts could fully close the distance to the destroyed wall, Melkor received the news. He was shocked and spooked but recognizing the responsibility that was given to him, he stayed brave and mobilized all his warriors.
Thousands of warriors manned the perimeter in just a few minutes before the Apes could get to the walls as they unleashed disaster on the beasts.
The sounds of bullets raking through the frontline of the Apes reverberated.
Gunshots countered the spear throws of the Apes.
For a few minutes, a certain illusion that both parties were matched was established, this only lasted until the fastest Apes finally hit the wall though.
BOOM!
The warriors stood no chance against the incredible strength of the Apes.
Even with an Advanced mystic warrior in their midst, he was just a 1st tier Advanced mystic warrior. He stood no chance against the over a dozen Advanced mystic Apes that led this Ape invasion.
They could not be stopped, they breached the perimeter and effortlessly invaded inside the Blood Market territory, this was where the massacre began.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
The Apes slammed the mystic warriors to bloody sh*ts on most clashes as they left a long trail of human blood in their wake.
In just a few minutes, thousands of mystic warriors died.
Horrified, Melkor tried to call for help.
Beep! Beep!
For some reason, despite there not being any signs of a clear jamming device interfering with the network, he could not send a distress signal outside the territory, Melkor was horrified by this streak of bad luck.
"Is the Blood Market territory going to fall under my watch?!" He was horrified at the mere thought when he thought his life was getting better.
Every sound from the clashes and the blood of his warriors that spilled sent an even greater chill down his spine than the previous.
The Great Apes steamrolled through the humans, dining on their blood.
