Thousands of monsters scattered across the town. Many lonely survivors suffered greatly again in just one morning due to the stronger strength of these monsters.
In the past, these monsters couldn't break through the strong doors so the hiding ones were able to survive. However, the situations changed as the monsters awakened their innate powers. Even though the inferno wolves had awakened the death wind blades and the dark minions had become more intelligence and stronger, they could still be killed by thermal weapons. But they were not something normal people can contend with anymore.
Although heavy hot firearms could still kill them, their damage and lethality had become greater while the resistance to firearms had also become greater. Fortunately, many people were quick witted and gathered together fast after they were invaded by monsters. Otherwise, they would not be able to defend against these monsters for so long.
Even more, the numbers of these monsters became lower due to massive casualties caused by struggling survivors. In the entire town, there were only nearly two thousands monsters in total when there were around 5000 monsters at first. Of course, a lot of humans died too. The town of around 3000 residents became a hell with only around 400 survivors.
Kevin was intently staring at the outside through the hidden gun hole. He had been sitting in that place since 8 o'clock and he didn't dare to neglect. He wanted to confirm whether if these necklaces are working for real or not. If it was really working, they might be able to operate well with these necklaces.
If he was told before, he might not believe in magical things. But after all, he had witnessed the monsters in fantasy and also the magical artifact which was said to be bestowed by the God of the moon in ancient Mayan pantheon. After safely surviving the day under the magical protection of God's artifact, almost all the people in the house started to worship the Moon God Ixchel. And Tina was also promoting the deeds of Moon God during the dinner last night. When the people knew the stories of Moon God Ixchel, they felt that Ixchel might be probably better than Jesus Christ.
After all, they had never seen the Angels in Bible during their entire life nor these Angels coming to rescue their tragic town. Although they could lie themselves that Angels might be already coming but just being late, the grace in front of their eyes was always greater than imaginary one after all.
Who knew the truth that the world's largest religion was actually with no supernatural beings, but just some humans who stole the power of Gods in some means. Their wish to witness the Angels was destined to be disappointed by a two thousand years old scam. In fact, they were actually not at the worst yet but the people who ran to the church to take refuge. These people's resentments were greater since many of them were killed by the devil in front of the statue of Jesus Christ.

And their resentments helped the Devil a lot in his promotion. The Devil dared to do it because he sensed no divinity in the church. It even made him thought that there were actually no God in this world.
Soon, Kevin saw some wolves came to eat the corpses. As they ate, their bodies produced some changes which could be seen by naked eyes. The fact that these wolves could become stronger by devouring the same race frightened Kevin who was observing.
He felt that he should tell this information to Brian. Just as he wanted to stand up, loud sounds appeared and it forced him to focus back on observing at the outside. Soon, everyone could not help but gathered around the peep holes to watch at the outside.
After a few minutes, they saw the thing which terrified everyone who witnessed them. A six meters tall deformed humanoid monster walked out from the mist behind the house opposite. There was a string made of bloody human heads on his body. Above it was a string made of various skulls. As soon as the inferno wolves saw the Greed Devil, they started to move to the safe distance. It was almost thirty meters away from the corpses piles and the Greed Devil in fear that they would also become the rations of Greed Devil accidentally.
Its appearance produced cold sweats on the face and the back of everyone watching. Although most of them were indeed tough guys, the horrifying appearance of Greed Devil was really something else. Kevin patted the shoulder of Rock who was having a sweet nap on the chair beside him.
"Dude, wake up. Dude, you need to get up."
However, his words didn't produce any effect. So, Kevin punched his cold legs several times and stood up shakily. Then, he slapped his face twice before returning to normal. Only then, he ran down to the first floor and started to tell the news to Brian.
The presence about an ugly giant monster in front of their house instantly alerted Brian because only they understood how terrifying this kind of monster actually was. Brian started to call other people to prepare for battle. Although he felt that anti-material rifle might be able to kill him, he was not sure of that. So, he called his old gangsters to take the young people to take RPGs in the basement. Then, he took out the remote control box from the jacket . As he felt the touch of it,he couldn't help but felt fortunate. These C4 they placed at the last night might come into handy. But Brian still had hope that they would be able to take that giant down with just anti-material rifles. After all, no creature could survive as long as their head was taken down and not to mention blowing up the entire head.
When the combatants gathered at the second floor, the Greed Devil had already eaten all corpses of wolves and he was starting to touch the human corpses. His body was also slowly increasingly bigger and taller.
The way he ate scared Tina who was watching though the small gun hole. Everyone was ready for the incoming battle. They silently watched the Greed Devil though small gun holes. It was not that they didn't want to attack fast but Brian told them to observe until it finished all the corpses.
