Chapter 141 It Actually Works!
Justin rushed out of the train and looked at the massive Insectoid in the sky. The Insectoid had a cockroach head and an eagle wing. It locked its eyes on Justin and cry.
___Savage Demon Cockroach___
Race: Insectoid
Grade: 3
Tier: 2
Ability: Bewitchment.
_____
'Why are there many third-grade monsters among the Insectoid' Justin thought as he instinct cried of danger.
Everyone inside the coaches raised their heads and saw the huge monster and cowered in fear.
'I hate to deal with aerial monsters.' He shook his head.
Suddenly, another screech came from the back of the Demon Cockroach. Quickly, he turned in the cry direction. What he saw made him stagger backward.
____Agile Cave Bison___
Race: Insectoid
Grade: 4
Tier: 2
Ability: Devour
____
The Agile Cave Bison didn't have any wind but it was actually flying in the air and the speed was faster than the Demon Cockroach.
"Chloe, we don't have time to delay anymore. Get that freaking train moving" Justin cried as he dashed out of the train yard into the distance.
Chloe didn't need to be told twice as her brain was running on Mach 10. The colossal monster frightens her to the core. Furthermore, it was not only her that was frightened, everyone inside the coaches was scared silly.
The Cave bison's height was like a small mountain flying in the sky. 100 meters around the Cave Bison was devoid of any Insectoid. It magnificent was no bound.
Its single eye rolled in its socket as it looked at its surroundings in pleasure. Before a fourth-grade monster, every being was an ant.
However, its target was a single being. A human. It made a slight sound and its speed increased by another degree, catching up to the Demon Cockroach.
Seeing the Cave Bison, the Demon Cockroach made a cry and bowed before escaping far to the side.
'Can you handle such a monster?' Kira's nervous voice echoed in Justin's head.
A wry smile appeared on Justin's face as he didn't know what to say.
'I don't know until I try. Besides, I don't have any choice.'
'Please be careful.' Kira said in a panic.
Justin rushed out of the old train yard and arrived at the desolate ground. The area was devoid of houses and trees. Only train spare parts are scattered everywhere.
'This is a good place for a battle.' He thought as he waited for the Cave Bison to arrive.
Meanwhile, at the end of the train. A young man found a box. The small box was covered in dust. He dusted the box and opened it. He found some tools and other miscellaneous things that could be used to repair a train. Beneath this, was a book with a thick cover.
The book has faded under the passage of time. Nevertheless, the young man opened the thick cover and bold words on the first page.
After a couple of seconds, the young man cried loudly as he raced toward Chloe's coach.
Everyone that accosted the young man berated him and wondered why he was shouting. But the young man didn't care as he sprinted from one coach to another.
Meanwhile, Chloe was tapping her feet, biting her nail as she tried to fix the train.
'No, it can't work like that.' Unknown to her, a golden array appeared on her forehead for a split second before it bore deep into her head.
Suddenly, Chloe found her thoughts getting clearer by the second. Furthermore, some of the puzzles she couldn't solve were instantly solved.
"So, that's how it is." She murmured.
Fortunately for her, under the duress to fix the train; she leveled up to a Second Circle Existence.
"Boss! Boss! Boss!" A voice shouted, rushing into the coach.
"Why are you shouting like that? Don't know you must scream like that. Do you want to direct those monsters to our location?" She berated with a frown on her face.
The young man nodded with a smile on his face. "Sorry Boss. But what I found can't wait. It may even help our survival." He said enthusiastically.
Chloe knit her brow and asked.
" Jerry, what do you discover that may aid our survival?" She asked without having her hopes high.
"This," Jerry said as he gave her the old book.
Hmm?
She was curious but that's all. She receives the book and casually flips it. Can this book be any more useful than the book we took from the school library? She thought.
However, after a few seconds, her eyes widened. Her breath quickened. She raised her head and looked at the smiling Jerry.
"T-This..."
"Helpful right?" Jerry grinned.
"More than helpful." She screamed.
Boom!
A deafening sound came from the distance and the duo raised their heads.
"Shit the battle has started." Chloe cried.
"Go and call the others immediately" She commanded.
"Yes. Yes." Jerry turned and raced to call the others. He knew it was time to fix the goddamn train.
"With this book, we should get this train moving in a couple of minutes." She murmured as began to fix the main engine.
Meanwhile, a silhouette rolled on the ground covered in blood. This was Justin.
A ball of blood flew out of his mouth and his face whitened. The bronze armor on his body shatters into pieces. He wiped the blood from his mouth and stood up with some difficulty.
He looked at the colossal Cave Bison with his fighting spirit burning fiercely.
He summons his ring as he rushes toward the Cave Bison. It stood with its small four legs as it waited patiently for him to arrive.
When he was only a couple of feet from the Cave Bison a powerful force appeared from its mouth forming a powerful whirlpool.
The devouring whirlpool devoured everything around it while Justin halted on his track as he was being pulled into the whirlpool.
Justin was solemn as he made a hand gesture and his rings oscillated around him. Two powerful forces began to collide.
Screech!
The Cave Bison made a surprising sound as its single eyes fixed on Justin. It didn't expect this human to be able to counter its innate power.
Suddenly, one of the horns on the Cave Bison flew at a powerful speed, appearing before him.
'Can't work twice.'
"Silent Piercer." He canceled the sound force field around while one of the rings flew toward the Cave Bison and the second stood in front of him.
Bang!
Two deafening sounds reverberated throughout the area as a cloud of dust rose in the sky.
Screech!
Ah!
Two miserable screams echoed on the battlefield. The colossal Cave Bison stumbled back as a streak of line appeared on its massive body. Suddenly, blood began to gush out of the injury.
Justin was any better. Though he uses one of his weapons to defend against the horn. However, he underestimated the power of the horn. As a fourth grade monster, its attack contains a powerful power.
A deep injury appeared on Justin's chest as three of his ribs protrude outside while some were broken. He looked at the notification in front of him and sighed.
___
Endurance: 100 (-80)
Stamina: 70 (- 60)
Dexterity: 40 (-20)
____
He shook the fuzziness from his head as he struggled to stand up. Though his injury was gruesome as a Fifth Circle Existence and high stat. He would survive. However, his current situation didn't look good.
High in the sky, the Demon Cockroach was diving with its sharp long leg, going for a kill. Suddenly, a cry came from its mouth.
Justin was trying to catch his breath when the powerful Demon Cockroach entered his ear. At once, she was drawn into an illusion.
He saw her first girlfriend standing in front with a radiant smile. She moved closer with a coquettish smile.
"I know I didn't treat you very well but this time around. I promise to change." Her voice sipped deep into Justin's heart.
He trembled as he moved closer to her. He stopped only a couple of feet from her while his eyes flickered.
"Why did you stop? Don't you want to come back to your babe?"
Meanwhile, the Demon Cockroach was only a couple of feet from him. As it prepared to land the finishing attack, a whistling sound came from its side.
It turned its compound eyes to look in the sound direction and heard Justin speak.
"Origin Zero"
Bang!
The Demon Cockroach didn't understand what just happened before its body began to vibrate vehemently and shattered into pieces.
'You dare to bewitch with that lousy illusion.' He smirked as he looked at the furious Cave Bison in front of him.
'The Insectoid army has almost arrived. If we don't move now. We won't be able to leave.' He thought in panic.
Every strong member of the camp was lying in bed with a gruesome injury. He was the only person still standing.
Suddenly, he heard an engine roar from a distance and for a couple of seconds, his brain stopped working. Various emotions poured into his head.
It works!
A moment later, he recovered with a surprising smile on his face.
It actually works!
He was only clinching on to the tiny ray of hope. And he didn't regret it.
'Kira, get everyone inside the train now. We need to move.'
