Young Master in the Apocalypse

Chapter 189 Wilderness



Viktor, Jessie, and Liza continued the hunt. After defeating a pack of direwolves, they encountered ordinary mutant monsters; such as the lynx, long-tailed goral, Siberian tiger and bear. For Viktor, they not only gave enough spirit essence to increase his stats, but they also gave the three, some teamwork and battle experience.

On their way to hunt monsters, they arrived at the Siberian valley area. The hills range was vast and tall and in the middle was a small frozen river that divided them. The sky began to turn dark, signalling that night was coming. Viktor decided to set up camp.

From his storage ring, Viktor took out two emergency tents that had been prepared previously. Viktor only took out two tents as Liza wishes to sleep with Jessie.

After the tent was up, they gathered sticks of wood around to make a bonfire. Thanks to Jessie's Lightning element, a bonfire was created in seconds. Viktor then took out a beef tenderloin and cooked dinner. While waiting for the food to finish, Jessie cleaned Liza's body, which was covered in blood from monster hunting.

After thirty-five minutes, the Roast Beef Tenderloin was ready.

"Uuu~ Young Master is indeed multitalented. Not only fighting and managing a business, but cooking is also one of his skills." Even though Jessie was praising, it sounded like she was seducing him. While Viktor just smiled casually, he enjoyed Jessie's talk.

Liza's eyes were wide open watching Viktor's cooking. Then she took a piece of meat and chewed it.

Viktor, who watched Liza who was enjoying her dinner said, "How is it, Liza?"

Liza nodded happily

Even though he already knew Liza's answer, Viktor still smiled with satisfaction. They then ate dinner that night.

"Viktor, how long are we going to hunt these monsters for?" Jessie asked curiously.

"Two weeks," Viktor replied curtly.

Jessie was so shocked that she choked. While Liza looked cool with it, chewing her meat.

"We're going to wander the Siberian wilderness for two weeks? During the apocalypse?"

Two weeks did not feel long when compared to the long journey with Viktor in the last two months. But still, After everything they had been through, it just didn't feel right.

Viktor, who saw Jessie's reaction, then added. "It can be faster if we hunt enough monsters,"

Another reason that Viktor didn't reveal anything was that he was currently being chased by a quest. He wanted to make the most of this moment so he could advance to the next stage.

Meanwhile, Jessie seemed to be frowning. A few things were bothering her at the moment. One of them was the problem when facing a large number of monsters, such as the direwolf they fought before. Viktor would of course have no trouble, considering he took out the orc warrior alone. But Jessie had a hard time fighting them off without help.

"Viktor, it looks like we need a combination of moves," said Jessie.

Viktor's eyes narrowed, he was quite curious about Jessie's words. "You mean?"

"I know you are strong enough to fight a herd of monsters in the hundreds by yourself. Liza might just be the same. But not for me. Since there are only three of us right now. So we need effective combination skills to kill a large number of monsters. At least to cripple them."

Victor nodded. "Right. But how?"

Jessie smiled. "A combination of elements. Your elemental power is focused on defence, while mine is more offensive."

Viktor was very interested in Jessie's idea. Then Jessie went on with her idea.

"You know, every element has its supporting and opposing properties. Like the Fire element, which will be very strong if hit by Wind, but will be weak if hit by Water. We will use this property to strengthen our spell. And our elements match perfectly. I'm lightning, and you're metal. Metal can conduct electricity."

Viktor's eyes opened wide. "That's right."

The two of them then discussed the combination of their moves. Meanwhile, Liza just watched them while enjoying her dinner.

After a long discussion and their stomachs full, they decided to sleep.

The sun rose and its light penetrated the pine forest. Viktor woke up quickly. When they came out of the tent, Jessie and Liza looked ready.

"Did you sleep well,?"

They were still waiting for Viktor to wake up, Jessie didn't want to wake him up to make sure that Viktor would be in his best condition.

They continued to explore the Siberian wilderness. After walking for about 3 miles, Djinn's voice sounded in Viktor's head.

<There's a swarm of monsters not far beyond that barren hill ahead. There are 100 of them.>

Viktor and the two girls walked in the direction Djinn pointed. They climbed the hill for 10 minutes, and they arrived at the top. When looking down the hill, they were treated to a view of a herd of monsters.

[Mutated Icy Drake]

[Battle power 80]

They saw the figure of a four-legged reptile that seemed to be moving. Its form was like a combination of dragon and dog. Its body was covered in alligator-like hides, only it was pale white and had a long tail. It had horns on its head. If measured, the creature was 3 meters long and 2 meters high.

These creatures somehow surprised them as Lizard were rarely seen in Siberia, he wonder if this was one of the long term effects of mutation

Jessie seemed to gulp seeing their figures. In her entire life, this was the first time she had seen this kind of monster. Meanwhile, Viktor smiled from behind his metal mask.

"Time for us to try the combination of moves we discussed last night."

Jessie immediately turned to Viktor. "Are you sure you want to use 'that' now? They look different than any we've ever fought."

Viktor confidently answered, "Yes." Even though he failed, with his current strength, Viktor could defeat a bunch of drakes by himself.

[Strength - 75 (90)]

[Agility - 115 (130)]

[Endurance - 74 (89)]

[Battle Power - 87 (102)]

"Liza, you don't have to fight for a while, just take care of Jessie, understand?" The innocent girl seemed to nod in obedience to Viktor.

The three of them then walked slowly down the hill, trying to avoid their attention. Once within the range of Jessie's spell, Viktor quickly jumped into the crowd.

Swoosh

With both axes in hand, Viktor floated and landed in the middle of the horde. Instantly, the horde of drakes began to rampage, when their territory was infiltrated by a trespasser.

"Roaaaaaarrrgh!" The drakes roared, then lunged at Viktor.

Viktor smiled as the herd of drakes simultaneously charged at him. Because he purposely landed in their midst so that the crowd was concentrated into one.

However, there was a fact about Drake that Viktor didn't know.

Pew! Pew! Pew!

Simultaneously, the drakes spouted ice from their mouths. Blue crystals the size of an adult human's arm in the tens charged Viktor simultaneously.

"Blyat!"

Viktor was surprised, not knowing that drakes could shoot ice crystals. Instantly he cast [Metal Wall] to block the drakes' attacks.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

The sound of ice hitting metal resounded. Then the sound of Djinn's mockery rang in Viktor's head.

<Kekeke, too bad it didn't go as planned.>

Jessie seemed to be biting her lip, worried about Viktor fighting alone. Meanwhile, Liza was itching to enter the battle.

It wasn't long before the sound of ice and metal clashing stopped. Viktor quickly jumped high. The herd of Drakes who watched Viktor float through the air quickly sprayed him with dozens more ice crystals. But Viktor quickly dove and swung his two axes at one of the drakes. As a result, a drake was cut into three parts.

[You have received the spirit energy of drake]

[You have received 1 point on Strength]

[You have received 1 point on Agility]

A notification popped up in Viktor's head. He didn't rush to finish them off, because he still wanted to try out his new technique with Jessie.

Viktor dodged every ice crystal that was aiming at him, and his two axes parried every drake's attack. After attacking Viktor for a long time with a blast of ice crystals, the drakes turned furious. They started baring their fangs and chased after Viktor.

Viktor's lips smiled at their response. "Hehe, great! Come after me!"

A hundred drakes chased Viktor, but Viktor was too fast for them to catch up. After they were quite far apart, Viktor cast [Metal Wall]. A large metal wall appeared in front of Viktor. Instantly a hundred drakes hit the metal wall.

Bam!

The drakes were getting mad, they were trying to break the metal wall. Even though the [Metal Walls] were strong, they couldn't last long. But this was where Viktor's plans began.

"Jessie, now!"

"Okay!"

Suddenly the sky turned dark, and then a huge lightning bolt struck the metal wall.

Blast!

The lightning stream then propagated to the drake that was hitting the metal wall and it further connected to other drakes that were in contact. Thus one hundred drakes got electrocuted by the high voltage.
