Apocalypse After

Happy or Grieving?

“Alexander!”

Just then, the sound of Rowan's screams made Alexander wake up from his daydream. When he turned his head, the young man was immediately shocked when he saw the middle-aged man's condition.

Rowan fell to his knees with bloody ears. The right hand that was previously used to hit the creature's body seemed to be rotting. Not to be completely destroyed, but clearly visible symptoms of poisoning are quite serious. Plus, it seems that the middle-aged man was also exposed to the poisonous one-eyed raven claw.

‘Such poison ..’

Alexander's eyes narrowed, his expression becoming increasingly serious. He glanced at Rowan then said kindly, “Rest.”

After saying that, Alexander directly walked to the very area within the cave. The place was just filled with rocks, but it was darker. Even the corner area was pitch dark.

Just then, Alexander saw a one-eyed crow rising up. Seeing the creature's horrifying condition, he was instantly convinced.

“It seems that you are not too fast, do not have a strong defense, do not have regeneration ability ... do not even have fighting experience.”

After saying that, Alexander took out both of his swords. Without a second thought, he immediately ran up to the creature as soon as possible to deal the final blow. However, what was unexpected happened.

When Alexander was very close, the one-eyed crow that seemed to be dying opened its eyes wide. The creature then opened its beak and made a loud noise, then shot towards the young man to claw his neck.

The voice clearly made Alexander surprised, but it did not leave him stunned in its place. Despite feeling his brain somewhat shake and his body hard to control, the young man still slashed violently.

A slash!

Alexander successfully landed an attack on the creature. However, it eventually still received an attack on the right chest to the shoulders. Fortunately the young man still managed to avoid the attack that targeted his neck.

“Ugh!”

Sensing the poison spreading in the body, Alexander gritted his teeth. At first he thought the poison was still quite easy to contain. However, it turned out that the poison was quite strong.

Shaking his head, Alexander wiped the blood from both ears. At that moment, he felt that his hearing was impaired. The young man immediately watched around vigilantly, but was a little surprised when he heard nothing.

‘If my guess is correct, then this can still be done.’

While thinking that, Alexander stood up straight and closed his eyes. An invisible telekinesis energy coated his body. Then, the energy spread around quietly.

Not moving any objects at all, but instead make Alexander can feel the objects around him. As if it makes itself a radar to detect the surrounding environment.

Just then, Alexander suddenly felt something darting towards him quickly. The young man instantly used a burst of speed then slashed down without opening his eyes.

SLASHY!

Alexander felt the poisonous blood damage his clothes and also slightly injure his skin. When he opened his eyes, he saw that the one-eyed crow had fallen.

Seeing the creature lose its life, Alexander looked relieved. At that time, he felt that there were many factors that helped his victory and made things easier.

First, of course Rowan's attack was very powerful. He himself was sure that the attack of the middle-aged man could hurt him quite badly if he was hit.

Second, Alexander was quite certain that this one-eyed crow had not been born long enough. You could say, in a baby state. Otherwise, the means of using his abilities would definitely not be that simple and his level would definitely not be only level 2.

There are several other factors, but those two are the most important factors.

Alexander tightly gripped the leg of the mutated crow then dragged it towards Rowan who was lying in the distance. When he got under the tree, he saw that Aurora and the other seven people were gone. More precisely, two people died and the remaining five managed to escape.

It should have followed Aurora's advice to wait outside the cave while treating their wounds.

At that moment, Alexander saw Rowan lying on the ground from severe poisoning. The wound was quite severe and his breathing was already very weak. Seeing his arrival, a look of hope appeared in his eyes. It seemed to feel relieved when it saw the one-eyed crow die and Alexander who came back.

“Alexander ... potion ..” murmured Rowan in a barely audible voice.

Alexander put the mutated crow's body to the side then kneeled near Rowan's body.

“Thank you for your hard work, Rowan.

Actually I'm pretty sure you didn't see it. Also, this is not the reason why I did it. Yeah ... Let's just say I'm a hypocrite.

If you come back, you will retire because your body is barely usable anymore. You will sit lonely at home without family and caring relatives. So, I think ..”

Rowan looked at the flat-spoken Alexander with an expressionless face, seemingly completely shocked when he saw the other side of the young man. As his body grew sicker and his breathing grew weaker, another voice entered his ear.

“Because revenge has been avenged ...

 

A few hours later, outside the cave where the tragic battle took place.

“Why don't they come out after hours?”

One of the level 2 warriors, Tavon asked anxiously. Meanwhile, Liam was already asleep due to being seriously injured. There were also three level 1 people who were injured, but they did not dare to sleep for fear of being left behind. It was clear that their previous experience traumatized them.

If it wasn't for Aurora who threw the rope and helped save them, those people would have already died from too many worms.

Meanwhile, Aurora who was helping them also felt somewhat worried. He had already carried out the task given by Alexander. Help some people in the back, keep them away so that the ‘lie’ they say is not uncovered.

“Calm down, they should both be fine,” Aurora said despite feeling a bit doubtful.

After waiting for quite a while, footsteps sounded from inside the cave. Right then, they saw the figure of Alexander coming. However, instead of being happy, Tavon and his colleagues seem sad because ...

Alexander carried two corpses, one of which was Rowan's corpse!

Alexander placed the corpses of Rowan and Mari in front of his comrades then dropped the body of a headless crow wrapped in a robe.

“I ... I've been trying, but ..”

Alexander bit his lips, looking extremely depressed.

At that time, Tavon, Liam, and three other people saw Alexander's condition. Not only did he appear thinner, but his face looked extremely pale. There were many scars all over his body, even looking excessive. Clearly, his skin was exposed to a very strong poison.

Bruk!

Alexander fell to his knees and shut his mouth. The young man coughed up some mouthfuls of blood, seemingly about to collapse at any moment.

Aurora helped Alexander. He took the young man away lying near the stone wall and made him swallow the poison-tasting pill.

The woman looked very panicked. He looked anxious as he began to treat Alexander's wounds. He immediately cleaned the wound and applied medicine. But the movement is slightly slowed when you see a poisoned wound that accidentally damages the outside of the skin.

Yep. After examining her, Aurora learned that the wound was completely intentional. That means, Alexander has gained a second root miracle and is now acting.

Looking at the shameless young man, Aurora felt that her worries were futile. He wanted to get angry and slap Alexander, but subconsciously could not do so for fear of their acting being exposed.

About an hour later, Alexander whose body was wrapped around like a mummy finally ‘sadar’ returned. Just then, five others came to the young man.

“I .. I've been trying to help her. But ... but I was completely helpless.

Rowan had fought very hard and managed to kill that one-eyed crow. He managed to get his revenge. Whereas I myself wanted to help him, but not only did I injure myself foolishly, but I also failed to save him.

Had it been faster, had it been faster, it was possible that the poison had not killed him.

Pardon me! I was so angry that I dismembered the crow's body, but my anger was in vain. Even if I destroy the monster's body, Rowan ..

After saying that, Alexander bit his lip. His face was a bit pale and seemed to be crying at any moment.

Seeing the painful expression on the face of ‘the kind young man’ it made the other teammates start crying. They were both saddened and moved that Alexander was trying to help them. Although it ended with many deaths, but the two people still saved the lives of the five of them, and it was worth being grateful for.

“I don't know if you guys will bring Rowan and Mari's body back. I ... I can't make decisions for you either. However, I hope you can bury them in a more decent way.”

Hearing the heartfelt words from Alexander's mouth, the five men came back crying. Meanwhile, Aurora just lowered her head in silence. He chose not to comment. The woman was afraid that her bad acting would ruin everything. Besides, he was also quite certain of one thing.

Everything should not go so sad and dramatic! Clearly, that shameless young man had done something!

“...”

Aurora could only remain silent as she sighed in her heart.

After some time, it was finally decided that they would bury Mari and Rowan's body outside the cave. However, they carried several small items that could be considered as evidence as well as relics from the two people.

Then, they all went to find a place to rest tonight. Plan to return the next day.
