《New Path》Chapter 22 - Enter the city center
Advertisement
At this time all over the world different evolved beasts started to fight for a chance to evolve more and rules over their kind as kings, in the forests of the different country it was a bloody battle after the earth started to evolve once again they all fall asleep waking up one day later and all that was in their mind was to fight and gain power that will create a place in this new world for themself our their kind.
Even all herbivore beasts evolved in a way that the previous predator feared to fight them, but it was only for a few special beasts the rest evolved by killing and eating the core that was created if the beast has reached at least level otherwise they would it the heart and satiate themself, and come back to their den resting for the next day to extend their territory or just stop the invader.
In the Ocean, the Same was happening too, and the already huge animals like the whales and others type of beasts started to increase in size but compared to how much the earth increased they were like fish in a lake, even if no one could feel the earth increasing since it was like if the different place with humans was covered by a transparent shield making it possible for the buildings to still be intact but slowly the shield started to disappear and the earth was about to finish it's first growth not sure how much time before it starts another dramatic change.
The differents government were completely taken by surprise by this phenomenon and before they could make a decision, everywhere around the world the major place of power of any country were attacked by beasts coming out of cracks in the sky and crashed in the city destroying the surrounding.
But some small cracks appeared randomly all over the world but the beasts or humanoids from those cracks didn't create much damage but still, humans couldn't deal with them without at least level 3 or 4.
Some police station after coming back from this strange room but they didn't have to time to think outside there were beasts rampaging and killing the unlucky one that was in the street and didn't have the time to readjust their mind, the policemen started to organize themself and took the guns and tried to kill them but even if them could kill them they need to use at least five bullets since their muscle was enough strong to stop it from entering them and could only bleed them but not enough to kill them.
Their speed being higher and their intellect that could at least be at the level of a 10-year kid was enough to make them use the surroundings to their advantage.
There were huge wolves of the size of a four-floor building, with some humanoid form with fur and scale on them but mainly there were more beasts than humanoid after those newcomers arrived some attacked the city killing and destroying in their path while some started to go in an environment that could help them to grow stronger.
They got a chance to be stronger, in there their former world they were like ants but here in this new world there were things that could help them they just need to find them, and the best places were in the forests where the energy was greater and with some natural things with a huge concentration in energy it will be a boost in their power.
Slowly those cities were either completely calm with people starting to hide somewhere, trying to leave the city but they didn't know there wasn't any place on earth safe anymore.

Some people could adapt quickly and by chance luck or braveness kill some level 1 beasts and start to slowly increase in power and for those that received help from some powerful faction gained some good thing helping them greatly, while some wielder with a strong bloodline were able to understand their bloodline.
Just like Chris and his group and fight equally with some beasts of a higher level but only a small minority of people could do that and it was already the second day maybe some of them would rise and be able to catch the evolved beasts with greater talent and potential.
For now, they will have to make their prove and create a solid foundation for their bloodline and see where it will lead them, either it was a random guy living his life like always but was able to find his chance or smart people able to judge what they could do and started to learn the pattern of some beasts and choose some lone group and after careful planning and a life and death fight level up.
Or those using people as bait to be able to kill an evolved beast and earn energy points any method was used, and only the strong would have their word to say, but among them, there was still some that decided to use their power to help others and strengthen themselves together not sure what will happen after their but it's the path they chose.
To the side of the finished battle, everyone was healed with what of drugs and bandages they have and it seemed that most of them received a healing potion to save their life once and maybe other thing but not sure.
And now Chris group were walking with the remaining people toward the shelter, everyone eyes were fully concentrated on their surroundings the beasts after the last battle started to stop chase them but there was still some persistent that didn't want to give and attacked the group it was a level three cats really fast but against traumatized people that were ready to attack anything they don't know.
before he could kill the prey and bring him with hi he was stopped by a group of angry people and he tried to jump but was meat by arrows even if the arrow couldn't hurt him, it was able to stop him from escape and the rest was angry people cutting his body a complete mess, people passed in front the body and spit on his body and continued to advance the stress started to be too much for those normal people.
The military knows this but didn't say anything only advancing wanting to not stay in an open space for too long.
" how much did you gain is it enough to level up once again or do you need to go hunt some beasts, I think we should leave at the next crossroad that leads to a convenience or one of the malls like that we can resupply our food, the feeling this group gave me is like a bomb that can explode at any time "
I told them since we were some distance from each other the others couldn't hear us, with the ten jewels I took from level three rats while everyone wasn't paying attention I will be able to at least stand a level four not sure, I will need to fight one.
" We already decided to leave this group so at the next crossroads we will leave them I don't know well the center city but it should not be hard to find a mall and rest before hunting to gain energy point before the level up tonight "

Hector said he was also eager to gain the energy point he was also close to level up and his new path was related to his shield use, after fighting with his shield he knows that he can do better but each time when he fights he always use the same pattern but with some beasts like the evolved cats it doesn't work they are too fast and even if there are others to protect his back sometime some of them can enter and when it happen then can only hope that those inside the formation can handle it because they need to deal with the beats in from of them.
" but shouldn't we at least said goodbye, it will not kill instead of fleeing like some thief "
Sarah said after hearing us, she was ok to leave but it seemed like if they used someone they throw him when he no longer has a use, she still wasn't able to pass this feeling.
Everyone wasn't against it so they accepted and went toward the leader of the north group district and said their goodbye, at first the leader wanted to say something but after he saw Eilen with her kid who was covered in blood he smiled and thank them for their help.
' I hope you will survive in this city, it's a shame we couldn't keep them they would have been of great help '
He had his family in the shelter already and he was sent with his team to scout the city to see the damage and help the citizen if they can, his mission is now completed and he should have a good rest with his family before he receives another mission.
He looked at them entering the city not sure if they would see again and continued walking with the rest of the survivors.
At this time Chris and the group were already far from the group and could only at some point slowly distance themself from the city center, they now were about to see where to go, so they continued to advance while searching for a mall.
" Shouldn't we just go hunt first before night we still have hours left, but we need to find a safe place with a good view of the surrounding and with the situation in which the city center is right now better level up quickly "
Lisa after noticing some beasts not far from us warned us while she started to look for another road to take going straight will attract too much attention if they weren't already noticed by some cunning beasts waiting for an opportunity.
Everyone finally after feeling that they needed to level up, nodded and followed her.
There were only office buildings in this area when they entered the city center they could see some blood already drained staining the cars with doors open but there was no corpse left, it should be some people that tried to flee with their cars but they didn't know the cars and anything related to technologies no longer work.
Some of the buildings were now entangled with vines that seemed to pierce through each floor to finally reach the ground and we could see a tree at the top to it, I could feel a small amount of energy inside those vines but I didn't feel a sense of danger coming from it.
The city center compared to the suburbs district give a feeling of heaviness like if being watched by something and a moment of distraction and you will die, everything understood that the kid also somehow understood it and grabbed his mother arms tightly.
The first thing they saw was that now they could see some group composed of insects from cockroaches, beetles, mosquitos of the size of what was the former rat, they were regrouping on some corpse of beasts either killed by humans or other beasts.
The smell of blood even if slowly loosening with the wind was still there the sun still shining hard were making it harder to breathe, After taking a detour in the small street that led in some part of the city they appeared.
" why is it so hot now we have to fight beasts and now the weather won't let us go "
Fred couldn't help but complain his body was now covered in sweat just like everyone or at least some of them.
Chris in front of the group with Edward looked at the surrounding after coming out of the street and everything was ok, he waved his hand to let the others advance.
But before they could cross the road they heard grunts coming from the right and left followed by something that they didn't expect to see when they heard the noise it made in the street.
It was pigs of about 3 meters, with a big belly they were looking at us while drooling and started to run toward us making the ground tremble.
" Ok I will deal with those to the right with hector Alex and Philip and Eillen, Emily and Sarah you will help us if needed otherwise do like you feel and protect Eillen kid "
Now it started to be easier to arrange the group and everyone seemed not minding with that except Edward who will as always argue about anything if he can, Eillen stayed behind in the middle with Emily and Sarah, Eillen was a little afraid to fight but with Philip protecting her she should be fine.
Because if she doesn't start to level up she will be a dead weight, her son is already hindering us so it will be better if she could at least protect herself.
We placed ourselves with me in front and the others a little retreated with hector and Philip beside me and Alex and Eillen on their side.
" Eillen don't try too much you just need to adapt to the ear of fighting first "
I looked at Eillen who was trembling grabbing her sword as she can, and hearing me she looked at me and thanked me.
Now that we were ok, I could now more feel how much those bigs became big, they were like small trucks running at us pretty fast even with their weight.
They charged us while pushing aside like it was nothing, but at the same time their race was stopped and I took this chance to attack them, the others following behind me.
I was able to reach them just after they pushed the last car blocking them and seeing me they growled at me trying to threaten me but I didn't stop and using my sword at a quick pace I pierced the eyes of the pig at the front he was still occupied to push the car, he tried to push me with his head.
But I took out my sword and cut his throat, I know that with his energy being weaker there and I stepped aside slashing his throat making blood flow but he was still standing and there were already other pigs coming so using my legs I pushed his ankle, soaking myself in blood at the same time, the pigs losing balance fallen to the ground blocking the pigs behind and some of them being unable to stop in time called too.
I raised myself and the pig was still breathing, I took my sword and entered it inside his ear making him struggle with all his might I pressed my sword and he finally stopped moving.
Congratulations you killed a level three common pig and earned 80 energy points.
A prompt appeared but I dismissed it besides helping with a path, for now, this system wasn't of much help until I can have access to the black market.
The others taking this chance attacked those blocked by the body of their kind, Hector in front using his shield charged at the ankle of the pig in front of him but the pig seemed to know what this prey wanted to do.
Using his body he called toward Hector but he was quick to dodge, making the ground tremble from his weight and power but at the same time before he could get up he was welcomed by Alex's hammer in his head.
OIIIIInk!!!!
shouting angrily toward this new prey, and tried to get up once again but Alex this knowing that his head was too hard aimed at his nose broking and continued not letting him the time to do something aiming every part of his head using strange movement, by using her body and putting the hammer as high she could and let fall on the pig who let go the last time almost inaudible grunt before dying.
knowing how to kill them quickly even if they were level three beast as long they could be put to the ground killing was easy as long as the same destructive power and sense of weak spot as Alex and Emily.
Seeing their kind killed like that the others behind who were blocked and tried to advance at the same time rushed at us, pushing aside the dead body. I almost was trampled by them but Hector using his shield to protect the both of us used the power of their to make us retreat we were able to keep ourselves in balance to not fall.
Alex, Philip, and Eille were fine they were behind the body when the pigs charged so they were only pushed backward, we regrouped and this time I told them.
" you saw them they are powerful but and fast but as long we can push them to the ground killing them is easy "
and we went again to fight to escape them when they charged at us and being so big didn't help them we used that against them and slowly we were able to kill them, hector was dislocated, Philip bleeding at the shoulder after being bitten, Eillen being behind us except some bruise and wound on her neck and arm she was fine.
Alex and I were on the ground breathing heavily and bleeding at different of our bodies both of us needed to fight close to them, so even if the wound wasn't deadly it was our body that was screaming in pain.
On the other side, it was longer to deal with the last group of pigs but with Sarah and Emily helping and claire trump card they were almost ok.
" You guys go search for those five they should have energy core inside of them "
I pointed to the corpse at the back and in front, they were almost all level three so we should have a good harvest.
Saying our state they nodded and started to open their belly letting out organs and blood as well as a smell that I couldn't describe but only hope they will quickly find it and take us to Sarah.
" So how is it to fight in the front line exciting isn't it "
I looked at Alex and told her between my breath
she looked at me and shook her head
"I don't know how you can like it at the hand you finish every time in this state if it wasn't for Sarah how much time it would take for you to recover "
- " one day "
I told her I know my body and with the energy of the core, my healing rate would be faster.
" Seriously you guys with bloodline gained something good in exchange for not having system help "
Even if for now there is not much except for the path and market still not open, she doesn't think it's the only things they can get with the system being called multiverse system, it's sure there is a better thing waiting that they didn't discover maybe because of them being weak.
And after ten minutes they found seven energy core and Sarah group after searching they found 8 with that much even without leveling up as long my bloodline is upgraded I can fight the level three easily and the level four it would be hard to fight him but stopping for a while should be possible and claire could deal with him.
Her gaining the energy point and me the core.
I couldn't stop smiling with this as long more of us can awaken their talent we could at least one beast two-level above us.
