Apocalypse After

The Nine Gates Gathering

Seeing Percy and his comrades rushing towards him, the corner of Alexander's lips lifted.

Just then, he directly reached out his hand and pushed his palm towards his opponents.

A BANG!

Percy, who was about to attack Alexander, suddenly felt that he had hit the wall hard. His expression immediately changed. Although he has never fought with the owner of telekinesis, but he has heard stories about ‘special people’ like that.

Unlike the ordinary hunters who can be considered as knights or warriors, ‘the special people’ it is considered as a witch. Hunters used to fight from close range, while the reason why telekinesis ability owners were called magicians was because they could attack from such a long distance.

Of course, attacking from a distance does not mean they (the owners of telekinesis abilities) cannot be defeated. After all, humans are creatures that have reason.

Arrows from a distance, typical sneak attacks of assassins, or fly using the wings at incredible speed. There are so many things an ordinary hunter can do. Of course there is a condition, which is to dare to fight mutated monsters and manage to get the desired root miracle.

In addition, everyone also knows that the title ‘ Witch’ can only be obtained with luck. If not, then it must be obtained from special descendants. Even so, the talents of the ‘ Witches’ are also different. Some can only use telekinesis to throw some pebbles, but some can lift heavy objects.

Sensing the strong wall holding him back, Percy immediately understood.

‘Isn't this guy's talent too much? He clearly did not specialize in searching for the root miracle that strengthened telekinesis abilities, but it was still this powerful! Hmh! Life is really unfair.’

Meanwhile, Alexander himself also raised his eyebrows. Seemed dissatisfied because of something.

“It is fitting that the ancestors did not do it, this is really impractical compared to the ‘ throw gravel’ trick that is so simple,” muttered the man with a grim expression.

A BANG!

Percy's figure bounced back two to three meters. The other Crimson Hornet members looked wary. However, Alexander did not further attack, instead looking at his own hands with a disappointed expression.

When compared, the impact of the attack ‘throwing gravel’ and ‘palm demon’ suppressor hands are really much different. Arguably, the power of the latter's attack was far from satisfactory. Not to mention, the trick was even harder to do.

For the ‘ trick of throwing pebble’, the person just needs to form a hand-like energy to grab the rocks and then throw them towards the enemy. The heavier the object being lifted, the harder it is to do and the more draining it is.

Meanwhile, Alexander's new trick was almost similar to Phoenix Dance. What is driven more into the wind that blows around. The wind itself was very light, it could be felt, but it was hard to touch, let alone hold. Despite using telekinesis, ‘holding wind’ is something that is very difficult to do.

In addition, there is a fairly noticeable difference. If Phoenix Dance used the wind and was used as a combination of special moves in the sword technique, then her new technique was trying to mold the wind into something she could use to fend off, push, push, or throw his opponent.

What Alexander thought of was a wall. However, the result was really rather disappointing. Although it can be used to deter and push enemies, but it is difficult to fend off destructive attacks, let alone blow and injure opponents.

At that moment, Alexander suddenly thought of another form. Taking a deep breath, he looked at the wary people then made a gesture with his hand.

“Let's continue.”

Hearing Alexander's remark, Percy and his comrades immediately surrounded the man with serious expressions on their faces. Those people knew, the level difference on a hunter was not just a display. From level 2 on up, their differences became even more distant. Not only because of the amount of ability one could obtain, but also the body that was changing became stronger and stronger in the next level.

The Miracle root obtained by the Crimson Hornet members came from Blood Wolf. Miracle root makes them get a special ability, namely strengthening the body muscles where the hands and feet become stronger, but the body is more flexible. Moreover, they also had the ability of speed explosion. Especially Percy who defeated the Leader of Blood Wolf, his miracle root also had a little extra, which made him have a strengthened sense of smell.

“NOW!” shout Percy.

Along with Percy's shout, the other Crimson Hornet members immediately rushed towards Alexander with incredible speed.

SWOOSH!

Many weapons tips instantly shot towards Alexander from various directions. In response, the man immediately jumped extremely high. Even without the ability to fly, he could still jump high as his body had already been strengthened many times over.

When his body fell down, Alexander did a backflip in the air then manifested the form that appeared in his mind.

THE SHIELD!

Alexander who landed directly using palm (palm punch) without the slightest doubt. Just then, the wind around instantly gathered in front of his palm like a whirlwind that could not be seen but could be felt. The man then moved his hand quickly.

A BANG!

A man who rushed over was instantly flown backwards several meters away. The collision was extremely fast and powerful, it felt like Alexander slammed a huge shield straight into his body.

Taking advantage of the moment, the other colleagues immediately rushed towards Alexander. Looking at the weapon that was slashing back towards him, the man instantly discovered the second problem. His new technique could not be unleashed in a row, or at least, needed deep mastery in order to do so. However, he did not look panicked at all.

In response, Alexander twisted his body. He did not jump up because the opponent was not stupid and closed the gap to escape. His pupils instantly shrank, his gaze focused on the many ends of the weapon pointing at him. The man then rebuffed the spear body with the back of his hand while dodging some other slashes.

At that moment, Alexander who escaped immediately raised his hand while flicking a finger.

“Quite,” he said in a flat tone.

Hearing Alexander's remark, Percy and his friends' expressions turned somewhat pale. They immediately look lethargic. It seemed to have lost some of their strength.

Alexander understood what those people were thinking, but did not directly comfort them. Instead, he instead began to explain with a serious expression on his face.

“Your covert coordination and cooperation are excellent. It's just, you guys are too soft. I told you not to hold back, but you are clearly still holding back. You have no fighting attitude between life and death. When your attack almost hit me, instead of putting all your energy into it, you seemed to want to pull back your weapons.

Moreover, Percy, you are obviously a level 3 hunter, but you are not using your abilities at all. I've told you to fight wholeheartedly, but you feel doubtful. Obviously you don't want to hurt people who have helped your family and colleagues.

It makes me feel disappointed, but also feel that you are people who have a conscience and deserve to be trusted. So ...”

Alexander smiled behind his mask and continued.

“Congratulations, you guys have passed the exam.”

***

Three days later, at Nine Gates headquarters.

In contrast to some of the small and scattered temporary stopovers, there appeared to be several large and magnificent rooms built underground.

Inside a spacious room, there was a round table with nine chairs surrounding it. On each seat, Roman numerals from I to IX are visible. Except in seat number II, the other seats are filled by people who are the higher-ups of the Nine Gates group.

In seat number I, there's Annie Rosewald. Seat number II, Scarlet (empty). Seat number III, there's May. Seat number IV, Yona Chivelm. Seat number V, there's Christine.

In seat number VI, there was a woman who had a very striking appearance. If Chris is the type of tomboyish woman who looks charming and seductive, then this woman is the true definition of ‘macho’. Over two meters high, the body was full of muscles, both hands and feet thick and looked sturdy. There was almost no trace of femininity on her face.

The woman is the holder of number VI, Nine Gates Shield, Yolanda or often called Yolan.

In seat number VII, there was an adult woman who exuded a seductive charm. Whether from long wavy hair, a beautiful body, and a dazzling face. If Annie looked like a pure and pure white lotus, then this woman looked like a rose spreading its fragrance while trying to persuade people to pluck it, but was instead injured for her duration.

The woman is the holder of number VII, The Blood Rose, Rosa.

In seats number VIII and IX, it looks almost similar. They have athletic bodies, are quite tall, have somewhat healthy brown skin, and look like charming female athletes. If you see the difference, then the number VIII chair has rather long hair and in the number IX chair is short as a boat. In addition, number VIII carries the hill and number IX carries the meadow.

The two are sisters nicknamed Shadow Nine Gates, Misa and Mira.

At that moment, Yolan who was propping up his chin spoke in a heavy voice, almost like a male.

“The person is no longer present? Is he really worthy of holding number II, Chairman?” asked the woman with a dissatisfied expression.

Hearing Yolan's remark, Annie still had a friendly expression on her face as usual.

“Just calm Yolan, Scarlet will absolutely not betray us. He's already asked me for permission, so it doesn't matter,” Annie said.

“Izin? At a time like this?” Yolan raised his eyebrows, looking dissatisfied.

“Already, already. Surely the Chairman has a reason why he allowed Scarlet to go.” Rosa broke up, then glanced towards Annie with a smile. “Isn't that so, Chairman?”

Seeing the people staring at her, Annie let out a long sigh.

“Scarlet familiarize yourself with its new capabilities. Because in addition to having risen to level 4, he had also obtained the root miracle he wanted.”

Hearing Annie's words, the expressions of the people instantly became serious. Even the calm Mei also frowned.

They all knew, other than Annie who had no level, the highest among them was Mei, a level 4 hunter. Meanwhile, the rest were level 3 hunters. You could say, the Nine Gates were a powerful large group. But those people know too.

Scarlet at the peak of level 3 could compete with Mei. That means ...

Now that woman is becoming stronger and more dangerous!
