BXBX NOVEL Chapter 125 Mad Awakened
Adhara glance at the fire before she said, "Yes, it's called Ring of Fire"
She then glances at the struggling Orc Rex held and said, "What's that for? Do you want to interrogate it?"
"I don't speak Orc language", Rex said, he then glances in Kyran's direction.
Adhara looks at Rex with a skeptical look, 'Even if you can speak Orc language, I wouldn't be surprised', she thought.
Rex waves his hand in Kyran's direction, he signals Kyran to come here immediately.
The explosion from Adhara's spell is too loud, the nearby camps will definitely come here so they need to move fast.
Not long after, Kyran arrives with heavy breaths.
He looks at Rex and said panicky, "They're coming, I can sense many of them from the east and west"
Just as he said that he saw the struggling Orc beside Rex.
Rex then said, "Kyran come here"
Hearing this, Kyran steps closer to Rex with shy steps.
Kyran widened his eyes in shock, he wanted to say why but Rex intervenes, "You can act tough all you want, but your body can't lie"
Rex points to Kyran's trembling hands and said, "Your hands still trembling since you kill those Goblins"
Adhara looks at Kyran's hands and saw his hands are trembling uncontrollably, it is the same as when she killed her first Supernatural.
She then gives her dagger to Kyran with a smile, "You need to get used to this"
Kyran takes the dagger with his trembling hands, he then glances at the struggling Orc under Rex's mercy.
The dagger on his hands makes a clicking sound because of the tremble.
"How can you save others when you didn't have the gut to kill, go on, kill it", Rex said while throwing the half-dead Orc in front of Kyran.
Kyran walks towards the helpless Orc, he steeled his will, "RAAGGHH!!"
STAB!
STAB!
STAB!
He keeps stabbing the Orc on its chest, the Orc can only growl in agony as Kyran's dagger pierced him multiple times.
It didn't take long before the Orc breathes his last breath.
Looking at this, Rex nodded his head in confirmation.
He approaches Kyran before he gripped the dagger in Kyran's hand.
Kyran's snapped out of his daze when Rex gripped the dagger, he looks at Rex with complicated eyes before he let go of the dagger.
'He's still young, but if this goes on he will be a worthy member', Rex thought.
After that,
Rex lift Kyran before they dash away from the place,
GROWL!
Many growling sounds of Orcs can be heard from their sides, the horde of Orcs is near and Rex guessed that there's at least 60 of them.
Both Adhara and Rex imbued their body with mana, they run as fast as they could.
In front of them, they saw a wall barricade.
It is the entrance of Wedron City, they can already see the people guarding on top of the wall barricade wearing military outfits.
The guard on top of the wall saw Rex and the others,
Seeing this, they immediately shouted to the others, "REINFORCEMENT!! Cover them! Unit 5 and 6 open the gate and clear the perimeter"
Just as the guard said that, many military men and women opened the gate.
They have guns on their hands that Rex has never seen before, they started to fire at the Orcs that are chasing after Rex and the others.
Kyran on Rex's shoulder can see the Orcs behind them, it sent a cold shiver on his spine.
The Orcs behind them are uncountable, they all have ugly and scary faces, growling as if they're seeing their nemesis with axes on their hands.
ROAR!!
Many Orcs roar in pain, the weapon is working on them.
'What kind of weapon is that? It actually manages to fend off the Orcs', Rex thought.
He has just been out of the military for two months, it is shocking how much the military develops in just two months.
Rex dashes inside the gate before the military retreat and closed the gate.
Because of the help from these military men and women, Rex and the others manage to enter the city without mishaps.
CLANG!
The gate closed after everyone got in, the military move in an orderly manner.
Then, a man in charge approaches Rex and said, "Greetings, my name is Troy and I am in charge of this place. May I know who you are and where you came from?"
"We're the team sent from Ochyra University, we're tasked to help you guys clear the Orcs sieging this city", Rex answered.
Hearing this, Troy smiles, "Welcome, please follow me"
Rex and the others nodded their heads, they then follow Troy under the military personnel's gaze.
The city is the same as the abandoned city before, the only difference is that the street is cleared of abandoned vehicles, and there are no plants growing in the buildings around.
It is a well-maintained city, especially the wall barricade that manage to hold on to the siege.
Rex and the others brought into one of the buildings, it looks like the city hall and there're many people around.
Around Rex, the city citizen is lying on the ground and many of them are wounded.
It is a sight that even Rex and Adhara felt bad for them, there're thousands of them scattered around the main hall to the street with lush mats as their beds.
The scene is heart-breaking to describe.
"What happened here?", Rex asks.
Troy then explained while walking, "The Orcs suddenly attacked the city and breached the wall, many of them run rampant in the city killing many before us and the Awakened pushed them out"
Kyran glances around, many kids are crying.
Some of them have severed limbs, some of them have nasty injuries, and some of their injuries already got infected.
Adhara notices this too, "How long has the siege been going?"
"It's been one month, our food supply is running thin and we can't contact our main base to send reinforcements for days now", Troy said with a sigh.
Hearing this, Rex frowns, 'We are the last reinforcement, if we fail then this city will be abandoned', he thought.
Just by being unable to contact the main base, Rex knows that this city will be abandoned.
For humans in this current time,
They will pour all of their forces to take back strategic cities such as Zrolis City before, cities such Wedron City that have no strategic value will eventually be abandoned.
They then enter the city hall,
In the city hall, Rex was greeted by a man wearing a black hood.
Rex saw this man and instantly scans him, 'He's a peak rank three, but I can't sense any mana from him which means he's not an Awakened'
Just as he walks past him, the man called, "Are you the reinforcement?"
Rex stopped in his tracks, he then said calmly, "Yes, who are you?"
Without even answering, the man turns his head away not intending to answer Rex's question.
But then, Rex saw a tattoo on the man's arm.
'Is that a black crow tattoo?', Rex thought in surprise.
He saw a black crow tattoo on the man's arm, it is identical to his, 'He's from the SCO too?! Did they send help to this city too? But why?'
Rex and the others then arrive in a room,
Troy signals Rex and the others to sit on a sofa before he sits on the opposite sofa.
"Let me update you guys of the situation", Troy said before he signals the other military personnel to leave the room.
He then continues, "The Orcs surrounded this city from all sides, there're hundreds of them but we haven't seen their leader yet. Our supply is running thin, we need to break this Orcs as soon as possible"
Hearing this, Rex is in thought, 'The people outside will die in a matter of days, their injuries are already infected and food is also limited'
"Where's the team sent before us?", Rex asked.
The mission stated that there's a team sent before them, they should be here.
Troy glance at Rex with a complicated look, he then said, "Don't depend on them, they went mad because of the pressure"
Rex and the others frown, "Where are they?"
~
Rex and the others got to lead by Troy to a house,
"They're in here, we can't stop them because they're Awakened. I did what I can", Troy said before he left Rex and the others.
Looking at Troy's darkened expression, "Wait here Kyran", Rex said.
He then stretches out his hand and opened the door,
After a clicking sound, Rex is immediately greeted by a scene that makes his anger boils.
The door opened revealing two guys and one woman drinking and partying alone, there're other citizens too beside them partying.
They're having the time of their life, drinking, eating, and dancing as if there's no problem at hand.
Seeing this scene, Rex's face darkened.
"Hey! Pass me that drink!", a guy shouted, his eyes are glossy and red.
The stinks of alcohol filled the air, all of them are drunk like there's no tomorrow.
Another guy stands up and takes a bottle before he tossed it, "Here you go, stop being selfish bro give the other some!"
Before the bottle reach the guy,
SPLASH!!
The bottle shattered, Rex slaps the bottle destroying it instantly.
"What the- Who the fuck are you? How dare you destroy an Awakened drink!", the guy said, he walked towards Rex with trippy steps.
He knocked many things before he arrives in front of Rex, "Look at this, I'm an Awakened you know", the guy said while summoning a fire on his hand.
It was a feeble fire, even Adhara found it laughable.
The guy keeps spouting nonsense in front of Rex's face, the alcohol affected their senses making them unable to discern that Rex is an Awakened too.
'They think they will die, so they selfishly use all of the resources', Adhara thought.
She's standing on the side but then suddenly, she can feel Rex's bubbling anger.
Rex's body is trembling in anger, Adhara can feel that he's about to explode and will kill all of them if this goes on.
Adhara then dashes at the guy and punches him hard in the face.
BAM!!
The guy sent flinging away crashing to the wall,
It happened in a flash, the guy spat a mouthful of blood because of Adhara's fiery punch.
This scene greatly shocked the other two Awakened, they then stand up while imbuing their body with mana readying to fight.
Adhara glance at the other two before she planted two fists to their guts.
"HUAKHH!", the two Awakened coughs as blood spurted out of their mouths, they fell to the ground while holding their stomach.
The three Awakened power didn't even come close to Adhara, the three of them got beaten by her in just a few seconds.
It was also the alcohol, they're drunk like there's no tomorrow.
The other citizens in the room gasp in shock, seeing the three Awakened got beaten so easily they ran out of the house in a panic.
Adhara steps forward slowly, she went to the guy who got flung to the wall.
She then grabbed the guy's head roughly, "Tell me, which university did you come from?"
The guy spits to Adhara's face with a smile, "Fuck you, I'm an Awakened you can't kill me", he said while laughing maniacally.
Hearing this, Adhara's body stopped.
SWOOSH!
CRACK!!
Rex came out of nowhere and crushed the guy's skull, it was so fast that Adhara didn't even react before the guy's head exploded.
"You're not an Awakened", Rex said coldly.
