Just Like that, a second as Edward stepped through the entrance door, spun his shield held in front of him and send a mental command wanting to use his skill to create a transparent rectangular blue shield that covered the entrance, a split second later an icy feeling swept like a tidal wave through the shield, like if it didn't exist and a cold chilling feeling entered his body like if tiny needle pierced him sending jolts of pain all over his body, veins forming on his neck and forehead pulsing slightly.

" Arggghhhh!!!!," Letting out a heart-throbbing pain as he kept hold of his shield.

His Skill just as fast as it came disappeared the same, as his mind lost focus of the use of the skill, same going with his energy control that he had barely any, making it impossible to keep the skill going.

The others behind him were affected too but not much as him, his lips became blue as his body shivered his heavy shield that he could lift easily before, weighed down on him as he stepped back to get a stable footing.

But if the after-effect of that attack had already done that to him, he couldn't think what happened to that asshole outside...

His shield in front of him looked past his shield trying to see what was happening outside, but it was too blurry outside with the white fog created by the ice cone, which was starting to dissipate slowly.

But he had other things to worry about hearing whizzing sounds he turned to look in the sky, only to see arrows falling toward him, he ducked quickly behind his shield as he covered the entrance door of the hotel.

Cling! claaang!

Several collision sounds resounded, his arms going numbs with each impact, as he didn't know how many arrows hit his shield in less than a second.

" what do we do, they are attacking us!!!, those guys are crazy.. do they really want to kill us? "

Louise's shaking voice was heard in the ongoing chaos, she was holding her round shield tight to her body same for her sword in her hand, she looked at Stella who was also trembling but tried her best to hide it.

Who turned frowning at Louise but said nothing only sighing,

shooking her head thinking to herself

' Oh my god... Keep your thought to yourself, no need to stress us more seriously'

then turned to look at the entrance once again.

everyone looked at each other, their hands trembling.

While they were trying to think about what to do, never suspecting to fight humans even with what the city was becoming, those attacking them outside were starting to suppress Chris, and the two evolved beasts outside and they knew it was urgent they go out but their body didn't want to respond, shaking nonstop at the though to fight other people.

While outside.......

Lisa's snake seemed to have slowed down, and a group of about five men wearing their medieval weapons, surrounded it, not before two more ice cones fell on it.

followed by a scream of excitement from the men as they advanced more with confidence, a smile on their faces.

despite not being wounded, it seemed to have a great effect on the snake, which they all noticed

And just behind Lisa's Snake, Chris and Sky were being surrounded, He hadn't taken the full brunt of the attack but being so close to the impact didn't spare him, he wasn't hurt but his body felt like being pressed by a hand over his head, as he did his best to move, his eyes moving left and right as he looked at the people surrounding him slowly.

" Now you seem to be less cocky "

hearing this same sarcastic voice he looked in front of him his view slightly blurry, as he rested his body on Sky's belly, who was crouched down, he seemed to be in a worst situation than him, his back felt cold as he rested on Sky belly.

Turning as he looked at Sky who looked at him in the eyes, and from the connection, they shared he knew, Sky would be unable to move for a while.

Sighing as he took a deep breath trying to calm down his bloodline was slowly eating his body, as a cracking sound from the ice that covered his body, fell off his body.

' going to be hard to escape from here, should have resolved the problem the first time they came at us '

it was the only thing going on in his mind, before he was already someone with a fiery temperament even before the apocalypse despite his fragile body, and didn't like to be stepped on by anyone.

and this situation right now only proved him right, people would always walk on you as long you gave them the chance and with the situation in which the city is right now, it might bite them back with people dying.

" Just let your beast to us young man, and we will spare you, we don't want to kill anyone "

he looked at who just talked, trying to remember who this old man was, he looked at him as if he was giving him a lesson.

He didn't respond just remained quiet wanting to smile at what he just said but he was still frozen, the more they took time to attack him the more he can recover.

"what the fuck are you saying, letting him go what if he tells the soldiers that we attacked them, did you forget about the two guys on the floor behind us!!! "

the man with his dagger shouted, hearing the nonsense this old man was saying, as he pointed behind him, the tip of his dagger aiming at the two bodies of the soldiers who now were being thrown aside like ragdolls by the snake tail, if they weren't dead before from his sneak attack, then with this snake help they might not have a chance to live, and there wouldn't have any chance that they will be fine once the military found out they did it.

Saying this, the other people behind the two men, about five or seven people from what Chris could see, their expressions who seemed to be hesitant about fighting, were replaced once again with fighting will, now that they went so far there was no turning back

" let's go don't waste time, !!!"

and just like that the man who since the start of this incident led, this group of people, charged at Chris, a smile on his lips.

' ahahaha just like that, let's go guys.... once I kill it, a level up won't be too far, they are already meat on the chopping board '

the man thought inwardly, the distance separating from that guy, closed at a rapid pace, and just as he was at hand reach, threw his dagger.

Not aiming for the man, but the dog, he still remembered who was the real threat, even though this man emitted a suffocating sensation from his body, it was all! just a bluff...

But this decision was one, he wouldn't have the chance to regret.

as he saw from the corner of his eyes a sword quickly came toward him and stopped instantly, tilting his head backward trying his best to step back.

he felt a cold sensation, on his belly as he stopped and quickly retreated, he looked down at his belly, his leather armor had been sliced open in diagonal, his heart racing as he could feel losing power in his legs, touched the sliced part of the leather armor, only for blood to spill out.

He fell just after, as he screamed in pain realization kicking in, as the pain, from having his belly sliced was sent to his brain.

two guys who just stepped past the guy, looked back not sure what had just happened, only to have all lights cut out for a second, before feeling their bodies being sent in the air, as they felt sometrestrictingiting their body, and being pierced by something sharp.

ARGHHHHH!

Shrill cried, ranging in the sky as the two guys forgot they just stopped in front of the giant dog, who despite being unable to move properly could move his head.

Blood stained the cars behind Chris as well as the pavement, then fell like rain, staining the closest people,

AHHHH!

one of the men, who was far behind the others who were attacking, screamed in his mind playing the scenes that just happened in less than 10 seconds, two people just died in front of him!!!, was what he thought at least they wouldn't be able to be healed, the fear of knowing that he might die too if he advanced sent a reminder at him, shivering.

Why did he in the first place, followed those guys, it wouldn't bring back his family, and only sent him to death.

At the same time, Chris looked at his hand-staiwithd in blood, compared to before, for the first time he was trembling since the start of this apocalypse, before that, when he killed those human-looking beasts, he never felt that way.

And also for the first time, he could feel very clearly the excitement from his bloodline to have been able to fight back, like another part of himself that was truthful to itself, and his human normal reaction put deep inside him be society standard and rules,from his shaking hands, and his fear but despite the fear, he had a smile on his face.

Happy to have survived, happy to kill that bastard, and even when sky threw those guys like ragdolls and that their blood-stained his face.

he kept the same smile as he just escaped death by a hair, shaking from fear as he was realizing that it was a human being he and Sky had just killed but still he felt l.

His mind went through many turbulent thoughts, at the same time as he kept thinking multiple things at the same time.

" Fucking psychopath, why are you smiling!!!"

and just as this voice entered his ears, a jolt of pain assaulted his right shoulder as a bladeintounk on his right shoulder before stopping on his shoulder bone, turning to look at who it was, his mind becoming quickly confused as the pain kept hitting his senses as he tried to keep track of what was happening, but compared to before when he felt like he was being melted down by the energy entering his body, it was still manageable to keep himself focused.

he saw the old man, looking at him with disgust and resolve in them, his hand which was holding the sword shaking but kept pressuring on his shoulder.

fuming with anger, he kicked the old man in his lribribs,

' Finish HIM!'

talking to Sky through their connexion, his voice rang out in sky head, which didn't hesitate to bite the Human head and rip it off his body.

a sickening cracking sound was heard as the old man's head was ripped off, making everyone who looked at the scenes shiver in horror, blood spraying once again on the already stained cars and pavement.

The giant dog, and the man resting next to it.

The smirk on the man's feature turning slowly into a smile., despite the distance that separated them those that were able to see his face felt like looking at a demon and not a man.

his eyes filled with raging anger and pain

Claaannnng!

the sound of metal, hitting the ground resounded as the man let go of one of his two short swords, as he tried to stay up, his legs shaking but he kept standing, trhough clenching teeth.

Despite that, the rest of the men who were in front of this guy knew now was the time, to finish that guy, the fear he instilled in them kept growing, and with the giant dog, behind him snarling at them as it showed his sharp teeth with pieces of meat falling to the ground, it shattered all their will to fight, like a balloon being punctured.

" Fucking lunatic, this guy's crazy, let's go!"

just like that, no one tried to found who just said those words as they resounded in the quiet street which by now others felt strange but didn't try to ask why, they had other things to take care in hand at the moment, it was like the signal they waited to flee this place, they didn't want to die...

the remaining guys turned their back and instantly fled, and the three to four people, who were further behind who were sending arrows and those that sent ice cones a few moments before left instantly hoping to never come across this guy, and his hellish dog, as the gory scenes that happened in front of them played in their minds.

The silence was all that was left, as Edward and the others looked at the fleeing people outside who were about to reach them who were stopped in their track at the gory scenes which just occurred in front of them, depleting all the previous courage they had.

And then at Chris outside.

" This guy has a serious problem in his head, do you see that he keeps smiling even now "

Edward was the first to talk, but this time no one even bothered to look at him, they didn't want Chris to hear them talking badly of him, and all that idiot was thinking was complaining about anything does, so that point it was like music in the back of their head.

" can someone go search Sarah, he's fucking bleeding out, you bunch of morons "

John noticed Chris falling to the ground and woke up, yelling breaking the silence, as he realized they escaped a difficult situation again thanks to the young man outside.

A bittersweet feeling sped through his mind as he felt happy to not have fought against other people, as he run outside, reaching Chris side.

" Man stop with the creepy smile, it doesn't help me you know "

John stopped on his track a few feet from Chris, he could see the young man still had this gaze that shined with the craziness in them when they fight those beasts, as he saw Chris's iris flickering with a slight blue color in them, as he turned looking at him but all he felt was like if he was being looked as if he wasn't a living being.

But Chris was slowly coping with his feeling, the pain from having his right shoulder almost ripped, his high sense that he was getting the hang of, from time to time only heightening the pain like electroshock was being sent every second that passed, and only then did he slowly calm down, from his excitation and clarity came back to him.

A heaviness hit him, as he felt his eyes becoming heavy but kept still biting his lips as hard he could, sweat pouring on his back as he felt the coldness of the ground from the freezing ground.

Sarah who was upstairs and who saw everything once she was sure that Eillen and Lisa were fine, quickly went down, filled with remorse as she looked at Chris's state as she arrived outside of the hotel entrance, and in front of Chris.

' Is it the only way now, can't we find another way'

she kept asking herself as she quickly came down and went to him, and as she looked at Chris in the eyes stopping halfway in front of him, his eyes told her what path he had decided to take and that from now on, as she tried to advert her eyes from his, he would do as he felt after what happened when thinking .

" How is Lisa state, is she fine? "

She felt like laughing as she heard his question and looking in which state he was and the wound on his shoulders, making her shiver every time she looked at it, she was doing her best to not throw up or show her fear ' he sure is a strange man, he doesn't seem like someone to attach importance to others wellbeing, even people close to him '

answering him subconsciously about Lisa State, she kept her thought to herself, she wasn't in a place to judge other characters as she recognized the old man's head rolling to the side, and just taking a glance at it, she knew she would have nightmares for the night to comes.

As if there wasn't already enough beasts and monsters outside trying to kill them, now human were fighting each other.
