As Nimrodel felt shaking through his bones, he quickly grabbed his phone and calling his mom..
"The number you're trying to dial is unreachable" *Beep* *Beep*
"Kosu!" as Nimrodel felt anxious, "I gotta protect this neighbor, I'm sure mom's fine since her work's 5 miles away from here.."
"I gotta see what they look like.." as Nimrodel sprints towards the large tree 4 miles away..
*Huff* *Huff*
Nimrodel was thus now 1 mile away from it, since then he heard gunshots..
As he slowly jog through he saw people cowering and running in fear after..
Nimrodel got bumped as crowded people run through past him, as the pathway is clear..
He finally saw it between his two eyes..
Imp [https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/f/bde92e0a-2b07-4fd8-955c-2fc9a8e7d85a/df01xpg-797ade8f-849f-41e4-bcf7-4dcbf7dc3840.png/v1/fill/w_768,h_1041,q_70,strp/flying_imp_demon___coloured_by_onholyservicebound_df01xpg-pre.jpg?token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJ1cm46YXBwOjdlMGQxODg5ODIyNjQzNzNhNWYwZDQxNWVhMGQyNmUwIiwiaXNzIjoidXJuOmFwcDo3ZTBkMTg4OTgyMjY0MzczYTVmMGQ0MTVlYTBkMjZlMCIsIm9iaiI6W1t7ImhlaWdodCI6Ijw9MTczNiIsInBhdGgiOiJcL2ZcL2JkZTkyZTBhLTJiMDctNGZkOC05NTVjLTJmYzlhOGU3ZDg1YVwvZGYwMXhwZy03OTdhZGU4Zi04NDlmLTQxZTQtYmNmNy00ZGNiZjdkYzM4NDAucG5nIiwid2lkdGgiOiI8PTEyODAifV1dLCJhdWQiOlsidXJuOnNlcnZpY2U6aW1hZ2Uub3BlcmF0aW9ucyJdfQ.2gmQYbNH4Cl7u2NpppUBM1-WztnRJsLYpbS03MBo9Vs]
It's tiny body accompanied with sharp claws with devil wings and scorpion tail..
Nimrodel got shocked as he saw it for the first time..
He was the only one left in the streets, Nimrodel suddenly saw a kid picking on his knee, "Mommy! mommy!" as the kid cries..
While there was only one imp he encountered.. "Son! my son!" Nimrodel suddenly saw woman from behind running through front as her child endangered.
Nimrodel saw her mother stopped as horrified expression when she saw an devilish imp infront grinning it's face.
As the imp we're 10 meters away from the child, Nimrodel was closer as he rushes through the child..
The imp was launching it's tail that looks like a scorpion and there was poisonous in the tip..
As Nimrodel run through he wore his knuckle by the time the imp attacks, Nimrodel punches the tip of the imp's tail as it bounce off through..
"Gkreek" as the imp's face turns angry..
As the imp's gaze turns towards him, a screen above appeared..
"Caution!" as letters appeared then some stats written in screen, it says..
BattleStat:
Nimrodel: HP 212 Energy 151
VS
Imp: HP 150 Energy 245
"What?" as Nimrodel confused but suddenly catched on what it means..
"So im stronger than-" as the imp suddenly lunges a claw attack but Nimrodel managed to block it with forearms.
"Uggh" Nimrodel felt in pain as claw marks on his forearms bleds.
"Wha-what?" as Nimrodel looks at the screen again his 'HP 207/212' turned and the Imp 'Energy 244/245' turned into.
"I see" Nimrodel expression turned into determined but his hand is still shaking while thinking this is life and death situation.
Nimrodel strikes his fist 3 times and hit the target..
"Screek" as the Imp strikes his claw but blocked by Nimrodel right forearm..
If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it.
Nimrodel realized he can't take more damage..
As he realized do or die Nimrodel went go out as the Imp natures doesn't apply fear to it's mind..
Both of them lunges towards each other..
Nimrodel threw deadly right hook to imp's face, as it means 'deadly' Nimrodel throwed it with kill-intent.
The Imp's face was bleeding the brass knuckle leaves a mark making imp's eyes and nose bled..
Nimrodel could tell the hook with knuckles was effective.. As the imp movements we're dizzy and continues to bled.
Nimrodel went for finishing move but the imp flies backward and suddenly scream..
"Krweeekk" as the imp screamed, Nimrodel suddenly felt danger from the scream as he rushes towards launches a super right fist landing through the imp's face.
The imp's tiny body was blown away by Nimrodel trained fish.. as Nimrodel doesn't give the imp enough time he went consecutively launches 4 super barrages making the imp blown 3 meters away.
The imps has fragile body but their we're fast and weapons we're sharp and deadly, after Nimrodel blow the imp away he suddenly realize their was pain in his leg..
The imp's sharp tail stab his leg and Nimrodel immediately let go, Nimrodel paralyzed and felt the sting..
But though it was not very strong poisonous, as the imp was trying to getting up.. Nimrodel then sprint towards dealing deadly finishing overight hand through the center of it's face..
*Crunch*
As the skulls we're heard, It was the first time Nimrodel killed a creature that symbolize human.
The battlestats indicator resulting
Nimrodel: HP196/212 Energy 120/151
"KreeeeeeK" Nimrodel looked up then saw five imp flying above..
Nimrodel forgot then worriedly turned around, the mother holding the kid back then they we're 50 meters away..
"Good, atleast I saved them.. I have no regrets.." as Nimrodel forming a stance for his one last breath..
As the five imps lunges towards him, *Bang* *Bang* *Bang*
The gunshots we're heard behind me, but as I look infront the five imps we're falling through the ground..
"Hey Kid! what are you doing?" as I look behind soldiers with army truck we're coming towards my direction..
"Put him in the quarantine zone! Secure if their are survivors nearby" as the soldier who looks in charge commanded.
The soldier grabbed my arm heading towards the car.. After I got in the mother and the kid is here.
The mother suddenly rushed and hugged me she was crying.. "Thank you for saving my son.."
The kid was looking up to me as if I was a hero. Then Nimrodel started to worried about her mother.
As the car turned back in opposite direction, Nimrodel then saw outside their was burning flames near the large tree.
Might the battle of the humans and creature begins..
*Hour passed by...*
We arrived at the sheltered building, it's crowded with people, but as soon I remembered about my mother.
"Hey mister! Where can I find my mom!" as I asked the soldier.
"Go in the booth and find your mother's name in the list" as the soldier pointed towards the booth and was crowded with people.
"Hey kid! list your name here if you're not done yet" a guy with white jacket and orange shirt told me.
I knew that this list was to help my parent find me.. "C shelter?" as I read the coverpage..
I immediately search my mom's name Jannah Man, 'loading' as the computer screen.
"I found it! She's safe!" as my mother name appeared and she's in Shelter B.
Nimrodel felt relief, "Now, I have to wait.." as Nimrodel has some plans later on.
By the time hours passed by, it's now 7 pm and they destributed some good foods.
I went in the line and got my dinner, After Nimrodel opened the box the meal was only a chicken,vegetable and rice.
It's not that bad since apocalypse is rising, "I'm not staying here for long, I gotta get stronger before something happens.." as Nimrodel search every corner then found no guards and the wall was 3 meters..
Nimrodel was able to jump and caught the wall with his reach, his strength was double of average human thanks to his 'scroll'.
Nimrodel then saw the streets was quiet and was opposite from the entrance filled with soldiers..
As Nimrodel saw the large tree from far away.. it was filled with flames and burning ashes as the gun shots we're heard from this distance..
It was 10 miles away from the large tree.. but it's not large tree anymore since it burned to ashes, Nimrodel can see the burning flames we're moving like something is controlling it..
So it seems the flamethrowers was their time to shine.. as Nimrodel scouted the area nearby.. It was all quiet and some guards are patrolling with their dogs.
I was not sure what to do but I was able to jump and grabbed the 2nd floor while hanging and getting inside..
Nimrodel saw this house made as medium status, it's all fresh in here and the owner of this house must be in quarantine right now.
Since Nimrodel 'scroll' experience can achieve from doing much work, Nimrodel saw alot of canned foods and water.
So he decided to host in this house and training while he have much more time.
*3 hours later passed by*
*Huff* *Huff*
Nimrodel with worn out face, "ninty-ni-ine,o-one hundred!" Nimrod was able to work out for three hours..
After Nimrodel then went to the room with plain bedroom and alot of stuff toy, he was thinking it's a girl room.
"It's better to sleep here than on ground anyways" Nimrodel was referring the ground in quarantine zone where they slept.
As Nimrodel was about to sleep he then remembered the scroll.
"Scroll!" as the scroll popped and floating infront of him again he saw the texts infront.
Nimrodel:None
Experience:3.55/10
Strength:2.08
Agility:0.93
Durability:2.15
Mentality:2.4
"It all increased again!" as Nimrodel seems to be happy about it, "So I can become stronger faster, I have to work harder more" Nimrodel determined out something sinister might happen more in future.
"So this mentality increases as the more I experience gruesome encounter or battles?" as Nimrodel figured out one of his special abilities.
"So it's still 'None' huh? I wonder if this is a class, It's late I have to sleep" Nimrodel dozing and ready to sleep.
*A day passed by..*
