Apocalypse After

The Nine Gates

Meanwhile, in District 1 the residence of the higher-ups was.

“Hey, as the leader of Shelter 13, is it alright if you don't go to the battleground?”

A soft, magnetic, and friendly voice sounded. Just then, a masked woman stood quietly while staring at the troops guarding a building. More precisely, the special storage warehouse belonged to the leader of Shelter 13.

Among the opposing ranks, there was the leader of Shelter 13 who was a level 4 hunter and twenty elite warriors who were at level 2.

“All level 3 hunters are assigned to fight the monster wave. Because in this region far from being a high-level being, everything would definitely be fine even if I did not lead them.”

A middle-aged man who was the leader of Shelter 13 said in a serious tone. Looking at the appearance of the mysterious short woman in front of him, the man felt extremely wary.

“It was really troublesome,” said the woman.

The woman stroked her chin while thinking for a moment. After a few moments, he tilted his head then said in a friendly tone.

“Let's take one step back. I'll take some needed items and then leave. There is no need for a fight and no need for bloodshed.”

“It looks like you were wrong in judging something, Little Girl.”

At that moment of saying, a terrifying momentum emerged from the figure of the leader of Shelter 13. His body swelled up to become increasingly larger, tearing off most of his clothes. His muscles looked so dense and as hard as a rock. Two big hands were like sledgehammers that could crush enemies in every swing.

In an instant, a reddish-brown fur enveloped part of his body. His legs looked slimmer, but his upper body was filled with muscles. His fangs became increasingly long and a tail appeared behind his body.

“With my presence here, you could say you are lucky if you can escape safely.”

Hearing the man's words, the woman nodded lightly. He said in a relaxed tone.

“Mival, the leader of Shelter 13 who chose the main route is easy but produces a very clear and non-contradictory visible effect. Level 2 Red Forest Cat, level 3 Wind-rider Tiger, and level 4 Thorn-backed Blood Tiger (king).

The combination of miracle roots is not at all contradictory, complementing each other. Although it sounds simple, but it is better than a random root miracle array. Slightly lower than special type.”

Hearing the woman's words, Mival's pupils instantly shrank. Gnashing his teeth with a suspicious expression on his face, the man asked.

“Who are you and what do you want?! Do you intend to oppose Blood Cross?!”

Hearing the voice mixed with that roar, the masked woman shook her head lightly.

“I don't care which group. I'm only on duty for ‘borrow’ ingredients. Yep. That accident. If you are really curious, then let me introduce myself.”

After saying that, he bowed lightly while slightly lifting his robe. Move like a noble lady who is greeting.

“My name is Yona from Nine Gates.”

“Nine Gates? I never heard of the name of that big guild.” Mival frowned, feeling that the woman was lying to him.

“Nine Gates is not a guild or a big clan. You could say, we are just a small group of exiles,” said Yona casually.

“Exiles? You guys?”

Mival narrowed his eyes. The woman before him was definitely not a simple level 3 hunter. Despite being one level below him, the man still felt danger. I don't feel like I'm meeting an ordinary person.

“I've guessed you're playing around and wasting a lot of time, Yona.”

At that moment, a cold female voice sounded. Together with the sound of echoing footsteps, a black-robed figure walked towards the direction Yona was in.

From her figure alone, it was certain that she was a woman. The woman was wearing the same mask as Yona, but there was a ‘II’ mark right in the middle of her forehead. The wavy red hair was scattered up his back. A color that is so striking and unique because rarely anyone has it.

“Ugh! Scarlet ...” murmured Yona.

Yona who previously sounded so soft and mysterious seemed to change her attitude in front of the woman. In addition, he also occasionally looked at the front of his friend who was too dazzling then glanced towards his own. The woman could not help but curse in her heart.

‘Bad fat pile, DIE!’

Scarlet did not care about Yona's hateful gaze at all. Instead, he said so flatly.

“Come take the goods. We have to go to the next place.”

Hearing that, Yona frowned. “Go out in winter? Do you wait for spring first? By the way, have you taken the goods?”

“I've picked up items from four other families. Those things are being taken away.”

“Hah?! You really did it! It's outrageous! I no longer want to sleep in the forest, especially in winter!” yona shouted dissatisfied.

“HOW DARE YOU IGNORE ME!”

The cry of Mival made the two women turn their heads at the same time. Seeing their attention return to him, the man said in a serious tone.

“You stole from four other families? How can you do that? There is-“

The woman glanced towards Mival.

“Ke nature of the breed.”

Hearing the woman's words, Mival's body instantly exploded with ferocious momentum. The man instantly disappeared from his spot then appeared in front of Scarlet while swinging his fist.

“MATI, J-LANG!!!”

BLARR!!!

A loud explosion was created and thick smoke billowed everywhere. At the moment the smoke cleared, there was a sight that made many people widen their eyes.

It looked as if Mival was swinging his fist with all his might, but his fist was stopped by a sword. Yep. A straight sword held in only one hand.

Scarlet was still standing in place while holding back the Mival attack. However, a blood-soaked black robe crashed backwards, showing what was behind it.

Looking at the jet-black armor made from the breath of a certain creature that covered the entire Scarlet body, Mival's eyes widened. Not to mention when looking at Scarlet's left hand that had completely disappeared, shock was evident in her eyes.

“Oh. Are you feeling surprised?” ask Scarlet flat.

“How can it?” muttered Mival with an expression of disbelief. “How can a level 3 hunter like you withstand all my strength!?”

“Again such a silly question. Unlike the monsters that grew strong by leveling up and accepting their destiny after being born into what kind of monster, humans were quite special.

If taking the root miracle from special-type monsters, of course they would become even stronger. So, it is not impossible to compete with the next level. Especially if it's like I've been at the top of level 3. Of course it's okay to compete with level 4 who hasn't been half a step like you, right?”

Hearing Scarlet's flat speech, Mival became even more shocked and incredulous. But before he could say anything, he saw a strange-looking red vapor surrounding Scarlet.

Realizing the ability, Mival's expression looked extremely bad.

“If nothing else .. scram.”

A BANG!

With a swing of Scarlet's sword, Mival's body instantly crashed a dozen meters away and crashed heavily into the wall.

At that moment, Scarlet glanced towards Yona who was busy seeing the pleasure.

“His opponent is not a problem, but killing him is something that cannot be done. So don't waste time, grab that material then go to the next destination.”

“Can't I watch the show? Maybe it could add to my fighting experience?” yona said in an unconvinced tone.

“...”

Seeing Scarlet staying in place, white wings appeared on Yona's back. The woman shrugged, then flew away while grumbling.

“Good, good .. Now you are the boss.”

---

A few hours later.

After finishing the long battle against the waves of ferocious beasts, the people who were defending cheered with mixed expressions. They were happy to have survived this disaster. But they are also saddened by the loss of many of their colleagues.

“Sekarat ... I'm really dying ..”

Alexander lay on his back on the ground filled with piles of blood-soaked monster bodies. Despite saying that, in fact the young man was just exhausted to the extreme.

The people around him, especially the level 1 hunters and apprentices stared at him with astonished expressions. According to them, Alexander has achieved an almost impossible achievement.

It might not have killed 100 monsters, but it was definitely over 50 monsters at the same level as his own hands!

“Cuti. I have to take a few days off to recover,” said Alexander with an expression that looks a bit sloppy and funny.

Hearing her words, many people laughed. Although they did not kill as many as Alexander, but those people were injured quite badly compared to the young man. So they feel that a little boy who doesn't like to bear pain and likes to complain is funny.

At first, the situation was very peaceful and cheerful as it managed to finish the battle without letting the monsters break into the defensive walls and mess with Shelter 13. However, the unexpected situation left many people shocked and incredulous.

Even Alexander was shocked when he heard the news.

At the time of the great battle going on outside, the enemy launched an attack on an important place in District 1. In process.

More than forty level 2 hunters died, the three higher-ups who were level 3 hunters also died, even ... The Shelter 13 leader who was a level 4 hunter was severely injured and lost one arm!
