《Song of Rapture》Chapter 7: Just being Human

Mui POV;
Huff huff
Im running my hardest right now
Huff huff
I cant stop until I find it
Here it is, the clinical skill lab room. the entrance already turn to rubbles. Must be that big hyena like monster from what Jalani told me. To think Raine could beat that, he really goes beyond the way he use to be.
I stop myself from being amaze by Raine countless great feats and enter the room through the gaping hole. Thankfully there was no monster residing there if not I would have been scared shitless out of my will.
Quickly I went to the cupboard that store all the necessary utensils needed. A surgical suture, iodine swab, surgical garb, some forceps, gauze, bandages and a few other things. With all of these things to carry it would be impossible for me right now.
Then my eyes saw the medical trolley, using it as a transport mechanism I remove all the unnecessary things and use it as a transport. But then I forgot something, a drip line. I take a few pint of normal saline blood for Han resuscitation.
I hasten my feet and went out through the rubbles pushing the trolley. Going pass through the staircase which Raine left me from before, there was nothing there but I heard grunting sound from below. He must have fought those monster at the ground floor not wanting to let it loose here.
Raine please be okay, wait why should I be worry he should be fine.

“shit why is this boar freaking hard??”
Raine was in a predicament right now, as the opponent right now was powerful than the rest and a bit lower in strength compare to the hyena but the size of it can truly be compare with the azaleaback hyena. Its been a while since he fought this boar, speed wise Raine was definitely above it in a little margin and he manage to land blow after blow.
But…
Those blow of his didn’t affect the boar in the slightest. Although blood can be seen trickling from the wound of his piercing dagger but even with a few punch out holes the boar still stand tall on its four feet and become quite a bit of more aggressive compare to before. Like it was in a rage state.
This boar was a large mammal maybe exceeding the size of hyena by a bit with its dark red-orange hide and the thick fur that ran through its back up to its tail. Its eyes from before with bright yellow in color but now turn bright red in rage. Its tusk was protruding out of its snout resembling the earthen boar but it was more than just a pair of tusk, there were 4 pairs of tusk coming out from its snout with its size reaching the length of 1 meter in height. A menacing look for a boar who was known as herbivore.
With the boar straight forward attack, Raine was able to dodge it quite flawlessly for a few times until the ramming of the boar to the wall attract other boars around the vicinity while some other monsters flock around battle area.
1, 2, 3, and one more 4!
Four other boar surround Raine along with the raging boar and situation seems to be quite dire for our lazy ass hero here.
‘hahaha didn’t thought I would be in a pinch right now’ said Raine with little bead of sweats start raining down on his forehead. Even he can get nervous when facing this many monster which were around his level. The audacity that he has from before have turn down a notch.

‘oh man this time I really in deep shit right now’
The boars rush toward Raine in a 5 prong attack with their prey stood in the middle. Raine could only exhale his breath sighing to his fate.
‘huh~ here we go then’
---
Upstairs in the seminar room, Mui barge in while pushing off a trolley fill with medical supply and equipments. She shouted while entering the room.
‘Han Im back!’
The others look at her while Mui quickly went beside Han side while examining the condition of Han’s body. she checks the pulse and her expression turns dim. She flashly glance at her surrounding to see if there was anyone capable of assisting her right now.
But all of their expression weren’t good, most of them are looking down unable to cope with the current situation. Even Han who shows the most leadership qualities are left unconscious due to the monster attack leaving them much more hopeless.
But Jalani and Doen eyes didn’t show any sign of giving up and both of them rise up voluntarily heading toward Han. Mui could only nod while giving a small grin. She knows the men in her class weren’t weak. She gave instruction to them as she open the cloth bandage from Han’s shoulder wound.
After opening, Mui face cant help but frown a bit. Han’s shoulder artery was in a bad state just based on observing from her eyes. Even the cells around the wound start to necrosis meaning the cell start to die up due to the loss of blood circulation. Han has little time left, if it were not for the gaming system apply to him he would have been dead long ago just from the blood loss.
Still he had a risk of dying with the way things are going. Mui accurately gave out orders to Jalani and Doen with the right steps of doing the procedure.
‘Jalani ready the linen cloth for Han, Doen set up the IV line at his right dorsum of the hand’
The whole class were students under the medicine and surgical program, with their training down at the hospital behind their campus they were at least proficient enough to do simple procedure. They move quickly and setting things up.
Mui with her new found skill, immediately bring out the suturing kit and suture the end of the artery connecting it with each other. Her hand precision was quite amateurish but she persists with her will of wanting to save Han. Even with the heavy penalty incur due to her skill, she ignore its as a life was in front.
The only thing she can do was to try her best and concentrate.
Blood start seeping out from the wound and some of the artery. Mui gave out orders after orders to the assist of her. just in 30 minutes, she had suture off all the artery leaving only the gaping wound to be close off. her speed was quite fast and astonishing as for a student like her to finish this. She strains her eye with the use of the magnifying spectacles.
Although the spectacles are quite bad compare to the real hospital one, she could only rely to her knowledge based skill and her intuition to finish up the job and like a miracle she finish the hard part. With the dead cell around the wound, she remove piece by piece not wanting for it to infect Han. Cutting it with a forcep scissors, she debride all the dead cells.
“one part left” said Mui within her with the sweat trickling down her forehead. Doen at the side wipe off the sweat from Mui’s forehead not wanting her to be distracted. Mui who was too concentrated on the procedure was unaware by the deed of Doen.

For the last 30 minutes, Mui try her best to close up the wound. But the outcome of it came pretty bad, the wound was close but the appearance of the stiches was quite bad looking rather grotesque. For now Han condition was stable, right now he only need to rest himself while taking precaution from any complication such as fever or so.
‘fuh~~ done’ Mui let out a breath of relief, this time none of their lives has lost. Doen and Jalani at her side also felt happy as both of them clasp each other hand. Both of them felt responsible for all the mishap that happen.
‘guys we need to let him rest lets bring him to the other room and put on full air conditioner for a better condition for him to recuperate.’ Said Mui.
Jalani and Doen nod and carefully bring Han to the next room where he stays there sleeping. Doen return to the room while Jalani stays behind.
‘where’s Jalani?’ ask Mui
‘he wanted to stay behind and take care of him’ answer Doen with his complexion turn rather bright and cheery compare to before.
While the others who participate on the venture and those who was concern about Han health rejoice but there are some who didn’t care as they wallow in their own small world not bother by the others. Mui return back by her bestfriend side, Biella. Since the beginning till now its been 3 days since Biella in this condition. She has been non-stop murmuring the words of her religion scripture not caring about anything else and she didn’t have the urges to empty her bowel.
Mui looks worried seeing how her friend was like this, she gently caress her head while whispering to her.
‘its all right Biella I will take care of you so please you don’t have to be like this’ but her whisper didn’t matter to the craze Biella. But there was only one person which she can think off that can save her best friend and that was one and only Raine.
Holmes at the side of the room, after witnessing the surgery done upon his very eyes was astounded by Mui’s skill. he also one of those who felt regret to what happen. But he know all of this happen because he was weak to begin with. he knows if he was strong none of this would happen. Holmes was strong headed guy, and he never know to quit against any obstacles. And with this huge wall in front of him, he has no choice but to climb through it step by step.
Standing on his feet, he went out toward the door with his intention clearer than the sky of wanting to train himself. Doen who see this cant help but ask of him where did he want to go.
‘Holmes! Where are you going? Are you going to see Han?’ ask Doen
‘no, im gonna train’ he simply answer with his peculiar tone not batting an eyelashes toward the people in this room. there was only one thing in his mind and that was to train. Mui who was a bit too late of noticing can hardly relax herself but she let him go as she knows Holmes is a smart guy and he wouldn’t be the reckless type.
Being outside of the room from the first time since the incident. Holmes was conquer by a surge of fear holding him up freezing him to the ground not letting him being able to move. Unknowingly he start to sweat like mad as the traumatic experience from before came out to him like a torrent of wave into his head.
But Holmes didn’t retreat, rather he push forward while remembering the teaching of his master. The one who taught him the martial art of taekwondo. Taking a deep breath he calm his mind through this meditative state. He continue on pushing forward by moving according to the kata or stance of taekwondo.
He remember and he execute the kata one by one while moving forward he released a shout that show off his burning will of determination unyielding to any sort of negative emotion. The guys at the other room, heard Holmes shout and baffle by it. But those who knew him knows Holmes was advancing Holmes making his own path through his own way.
Mui who heard this could only snicker;
“I knew it”
Holmes continue on to his practice honing his skill and mind to a state where he wont falter against any enemy or situation. A lesson that he learnt through harsh experience. He was ready to gone up against any monster lurking around the 1st floor as he already venture out to the corridor. Luckily for him, the 1st floor was free of monster except for a certain restroom for females(the frogs still live!!!).
---
Downstairs a total blood bath was underway. Raine was covered by thick crimson blood, with his breath turns erratic, his white pristine labcoat already smear from top to bottom the color of blood, if one of his friend seen this they could barely recognized him as Raine appearance right now was quite horrendous.
On the floor was a pool of dark thick blood. At the side of him a corpse of a boar was laying down there, with one of Raine’s makeshift dagger lodge on top of its head. The four other Targoz boar was enrage by this situation with one of theirs already dead by the hand of these of puny human. Arm with only one dagger, he take the steel pipe which he strap on his back providing another weapon for him to attack.
The four boars rage towards him with their eyes shot blood red. Raine cant help but feeling the pressure from this 4 giant boar. He felt like he was Hercules doing the 12 labor which one of them involving subduing a giant boar. Not that he really know off about those mythical legends, it must have been just an exaggeration carry forward from one generation to another but the thing in front of him he could definitely said;
“haha aim more powerful than Hercules”
Taking that thought as a motivation he wield his steel pipe and dagger to the incoming danger. The 4 prong attack was undeniably hard to evade with all those huge body blocking any chances of him slipping these straight forward charge.
But Raine has a plan of his own, not going in front but through the back. he ran toward the wall as fast as he can. Raising his leg as he reach the wall, he ran up the wall like defying gravity itself.
One step two step three step and four step with only four steps he manage to walk on the wall. Losing the balance he quickly exert all his strength leaping into the air. He pass through the boars as he leaps above it and a loud collision sound vibrate through the whole corridor.
‘BOOOM!!’
With a simple flip on the air, Raine land on the ground safely while tumbling a few times on the ground. Dispersing the impact to lessen the burden on his joints. Currently he was a natural in doing this as previously he countless time repeating this move. The dumb beast didn’t know how to handle the nimble and intelligent human which have repeatedly avoided their death defying attack.
The boars slowly maneuver themselves changing their direction toward Raine. they were a bit slow in changing in direction moreover when after colliding with the wall of the building their head seems to be disoriented a bit. Making it more slower in responding than before.
Raine use this weakness to defeat one of them after repeating this process countless times. But there is a slight problem.
“haha didn’t though im getting tired already, is this due to my stamina depleted already huff huff”
Yes, with all of those gravity defying moves and attacking after that the expense of using stamina was undoubtly huge. Leaving him with only a few point to spare. Although he could defeat the azaleaback hyena, but most of it was due to the narrow corridor and the help of corrosive chemicals, and with Raine situation right now his future was gradually getting bleak.
“Damn it I can’t even hold up my dagger anymore” complain Raine
While the boars take time to change direction. Raine make his decision and ran toward the nearby staircase. Running up the stairs, the boars snort and rush toward him and head toward the stairs. Raine speed was quite diminish compare to when his stamina are full and the incoming boars were catching up to him.
“shit come on you fragile body!!” Raine scream in his mind not wanting to be chowder for this damn pigs. Underneath his feet, he feel the cracking sound of the floor, looking down he notice the stairs are cracking and he take a quick glance behind him.
The four boars were fighting among themselves as they ran up the stairs fitting their huge size upon the narrow stairway and the immense weight of these boars were too much for these stairs to handle as the sign of its destruction was indeed near it end. The base crumbles, and like jenga block it crumbles easily as the foundation tumble.
Raine could felt his feet going away as the stairs shakes. Raine reaching the end of the stairs take this opportunity to make his last attempt to escape them as he leap his whole body.
‘PLOP’
Raine body drops to the floor with a sound which definitely hurt a bit. The four boars on its back snort and grunt angrily as they drop to the ground floor along with the crumbling rubble of concrete of the stairs.
The boars on the ground angrily snort loudly as the murderer of its kin was let loose. The sound of those boar continue to vibrate through the whole campus as even those in the seminar room area could hear faintly. Even Holmes who was training himself at the end of the corridor froze after hearing that menacing snort, disturbing him from his concentration.
GULP
‘Holmes you need to train more, you cant be afraid from just a noise!’ shouted Holmes as he pep talk himself.
While at the end of the staircase laying on the floor, Raine was catching his breath taking a breather after the intense situation he had face.
‘huh~ time to take some time off, snooze~~~’ Raine fell asleep as he was covered by a layer of crimson red blood. The blood of those that he kill.
---
In the depth of the seminar room, murmuring can be heard. After continuous wailing in depression, the people had control themselves to not released those emotion wildly anymore as they know it was futile. The only thing they can do was wait, wait for the never coming help that they always yearn for.
Mirana and Rafi are one of those people. Although they are hardworking and intellectual kind of people but against this adversity none could really face this one without being broken apart. Even Raine would have broke if not for an anchor place within his heart.
‘mirana when are we going back? I need to go back, I need to go see my family again uhuk uhuk’ said Rafi the dark skin color girl who reveal her inner feeling to her long time friend.
‘there there Rafi, im sure you will see them again, just don’t worry and everything will be fine’ console Mirana with her motherly voice calming her friend heart. She gave out a smile as if everything will be fine in the near future. But she knows it would be hard for that to happen the only thing that she could do to ease her friends worry was by being strong herself. But then at the corner of the of the room a small girl who was hugging her knees with her head down was shivering.
Shivering not because of fever or any disease but shivering because of pure disgust. She then stare at the duo who was consoling each other and lash out to them while shouting with her lungs out.
‘you think it will be fine?! You think everything will be okay?! Let me tell you this don’t spout anymore lies!! Don’t be a hypocrite and getting people hopes up!! Everyone know we all are gonna die in this forsaken place!!’ shout Lina with her tone carry an angered that resemble an exploding volcano. Since the last incident where she was experience a rather traumatic experience to escape this place, she had bottle up a lot of negative emotion within herself. And today was the last time she could endure it.
Doen who was hearing this try to calm her down with proper reasoning.
‘Lina calm down…’ but before he could finish his sentence, Lina retort back with more aggressive words that clearly show she has past the limits of her patience.
‘calm down? You want me to calm down? How about you calm down you girly man, im disgusted with you pretending to be all feminine and all, quit acting like that and be a man while you at it stop it with your high pitch voice. Its annoying!!’ lash out Lina with a rather touchy thing that she spoke off.
‘what did you say you bitch!! Why at a…’ Doen reply back with his high pitch voice while his hand already up in the air wanting to smack a bit of that little girl who dare touch a vein within his sensible heart. Mui who was nearby Doen at the heat of the moment, manage to hold him down by hugging him from behind not letting him go.
‘what? what you want to hit me? Come if you dare! Come you sissy man’ she further infuriate Doen with her spiteful remarks. With a gesture inviting for a beating, her rational mind has clearly went off the roof.
‘let me go Mui let me go!! Let me teach this bitch to sit before it could spout off any words!!’ demand Doen to Mui to release him so he could show this little girl where her place is. With the situation in the room turning to the bad side, someone spoke outloud in the middle to calm the storm between these two down.
‘both of you stop it!!!’ a lone woman stand tall between these cat and dog silencing them from their bickering. It was Mirana.
‘Doen, im disappointed in you, you should have act mature in handling this. Moreover in this kind of situation you should save your strength for the coming days, while you Lina. I know you miss and worried about your family since they live nearby but that didn’t give you the right to behave like this and I know im giving hope but it is not baseless I know that we will be save its just either the time take long or short, that’s all. You yourself shouldn’t give up on hope’ said Mirana with her tone of voice carry a sense of dignity while at the same time feel like an assuring calm feeling like from the words of a mother.
This gentle person is Mirana,the eldest of the classmates with her age around two years advance from the rest of them, as she has some peculiar problems regarding transfer credit that lead her to this current university. With an older perspective she felt like she need to take care of this youngling although they are only two years younger.
Doen who heard this calm down and just went back to his seat nearby Suba while the little girl on fire just scoff it off while giving a glare to the people around her. It seems her ranting had died off rather quickly with the intervention from Mirana.
It would be a waste for her to exert soo much energy in this kind of situation. So she return back to her corner and revert to her usual hugging knee position. Lina was angry, impatience and rather anxious. Not because of her personality but because of her family. Her family was the closest compare to the rest and that worriness overwhelms her. she loves her family as it was her first priority than the rest. Love can truly brought forth the most extremities in a person, either bad or good. In this case, the latter was the obvious one with the bout of aggression release by Lina.
Lina sat down with her heart kept wavering with this little body of hers. If she has the power and the abilities needed, she would have long gone going straight toward her beloved family. With not even a care about these people in her class, in a split second she would leave them.
While the angered fill lady was left alone, Mui the one who watch the commotion from the start till the finish wanted to say something in the end as she knows the hope Mirana was talking about was just around the corner of her mind, the plan made by Raine. but she shut her mouth, as she knows its better to trust it to Raine rather than her blabbering it to the others. from the words of her mouth it was hard to believe.
The only thing she could do was wait for the master planner to come and reveal it himself to these down hearted people who has given up on the notion of being able to survive.
“where are you Raine” question Mui
---
As time passes by, the third day end with the sun already sets on the horizon. for human, its their nature to need these three important things in their life to survive, one living place, two water and the last one food!
Human cannot last without eating, as they regain their energy through eating. Eating itself was what define as living and surviving. But for these confined people who are always under pressured by the growling and howling of monster through the air letting their fear and anxiety to take hold and conquer their body to disregard even the hunger of their body.
Without them knowing it, empty stomachs grumbles underneath the dark skies of the south east asia. But none one of them complain as they know, under these circumstances just being alive was thankful enough.
Meanwhile a sleeping person at the edge of a broken crumbling stairs let out a growl of its own.
‘growlll’
Opening his eye with much laziness, the growling of his own stomach disturbs his beauty sleep. He then spoke out loud as he grumbles.
‘argh im hungry’
“didn’t thought I could forget eating while fighting all those monsters, huh~~ man I miss eating food” said Raine within him as he realized that its been three day since he ate something and by the sound of it, he was already at his limit. Raine has a capacity to withstand hunger for a whole day but even for him three days was too much, if not for those life and death situation he would have forgotten that he has an empty stomach.
“where the hell am I gonna find food” ask himself, currently the only two places that have food was the cafeteria and the foyer. but Raine knows that the food serve must have gone bad since the first day already. He could only count on the refrigerated ingredients or if there is any luck, there maybe some tin can food kept in there.
The only problem was the situation in the cafeteria, since he has never been there since the rapture, the situation over there was blind for him and for Raine any kind of unknown of place was a dangerous place to venture without proper preparation. He didn’t want to risk his life with even his health point isnt fully restore. He need a full night sleep to even reach his higher range of health points.
So the only possible food reservoir was the foyer. although the food there was not much, it was still enough to keep a living person to live without dying of starvation. The food serve in the foyer is mainly snacks that include chocolates, crackers, sweets and biscuits. For now that was the only option for Raine.
“damn it, I hate eating snacks fuh~~ no other choice other then lets go fill this grumbling stomach up”
Raine stands on his sturdy two feet and remove the blood soak labcoat that he wore.
‘ugh this labcoat reeks’
He toss it down to the floor, with him just wearing a tight brief with his leather body armor and leather arm guard on his left arm. His rather average body with not so prominent muscle doesn’t really make his appearance stands out rather looking a bit like a cosplayer of greek warrior of TROY. He remove his formal leather shoe as to him it was more of a hindrance because of its noisy clatter as each step of his can make a sound.
With a steel pipe on his right hand and a dagger on his left, he prepare himself for the hunt. The hunt for snacks!
With the nearest stairs already turn to crumbling dust. He has to follow another way using the opposite stairs that was twice in distance to the snack stall located at the foyer. for one thing he don’t want to jumble with those herd of boars. He don’t want to expense useless energy with them.
But before he venture out, he crouches down toward the middle corridor trying to survey the current condition of the foyer. before doing anything involving skirmish or whatever sort of activity, information is a necessary thing. Those who hold the most information would rule the world that they dwelve in. so without a doubt information is the key for him to get out of this without a problem.
Looking from above, the foyer was a bit sparse in the monster count. A few of those already slept huddling with their kin in a rather hard to find place just by the sight from a ground level. A pair of boars was sleeping rather far apart between each other. While the other two boars are nowhere in sight.
Raine could only rub his chin thinking of a way to sneak by these monster without alarming them.
‘hmm I wish I have a sneaking skill, it would be a lot more easier to do this’ Raine complaints, tonight he has a lot of things to complain. Even for him being stuck in this building for three days straight would even cause the lazy ass Raine to be irritated.
‘I need to survey the rest of the ground floor corridor, it would be better if no fighting is involve. The feeling of fighting with an empty stomach really gets to you’ grumble him more. With his tight fitting cloth and his foot barefooted, Raine went toward the stairs and walk leisurely. As he take his step down at one step at a time, even when he act leisurely, his eye was scurrying to his surrounding not letting his guard down.
As he step down at the side he can see a few familiar monsters sleeping.
“ah those are easy to handle, ooh that’s new” Raine eyes focus on to a new monster that he haven’t see from before. Like a clay doll that resemble a golem but the size of it was hardly can be comparable to the giant size golem that is usually depicted in fictional fantasy this one can be describe as a miniature size golem with bright gem at the center of its forehead. Its height may as well reach around 130cm or so.
With its pudgy way of walking, the mini golem looks kind of cute. Raine who saw this could only snicker, his memory flashes back when to visit a cousin who just give birth and the baby of theirs was so pudgy that he want to gobble that baby cheeks up. Snapping of from the day dream, Raine sneakily step down carefully while being mindful of his surroundings and at the same avoiding the path of the golem.
With feet on his tip-toe, he sneak by those monster one at a time. luckily for him there was no boar on sight so he didn’t need to worry about being gang up by a bunch of pigs. In this arduous silent journey of his, there was few close call, a few of those monsters was at a point of waking up that cause him to freeze a few times. But luckily he get off with it, as the monsters continue their slumber.
It seems the monster here are not quite the nocturnal type like the one attacking his classmate during the escapade. In that sense, lady luck was smiling upon him. a loophole for these people to benefit from, if the monster still stay sleeping.
Raine with his hardwork of being silent as a mouse reach the snack stall with much difficulty. Looking at those snacks, his mouth cant help being overflow by a torrent of saliva. His hand reach a few with the thought of munching them down with his earnest but then his classmate came to his mind and the rest of those other people that was stuck there in the seminar room area.
“huh~ why am I a considerate type of guy, I could have just monopolize all of this nevermind my plan was still gonna involve them with this much of food at least I can energize them for a few days.” His inner monologue hint a bit of regret due to his selflessness.
Using a box container already there he fill up with all the snacks that he can fit in it. as long as it isnt overflowing, it was good enough for him. with his 33 strength, he easily lift it all with ease for once he felt that the gaming system help him in a way in everyday life situation. If before, he would have a tough time just lifting it for a few seconds.
Holding to the box, he went back to the stairs while being mindful of the monsters. It all smooth sailing up until he reach the stairs then rustling sound can be heard at the side of him. he didn’t dare to look as he already know that one of those monster already woken up and was staring at him.
“ugh damn it, cursed it why is it always at the end I will find trouble.”
Not wanting to wait any longer he rush not giving a damn to his the noise produce by his running. The monster who saw him was a runic badger it give off a squealing sound awakening the others in the proximity and quickly chase on Raine’s tail. Raine who didn’t care anymore less reach the 1st floor and he slide the box full of snacks further from the soon to be a blood parade.
Taking out his knife, the steel pipe was left in the box with all the incoming monster he didn’t have time to sort things out. With his health point only at the middle of it, he need to be mindful of it. the runic badger who was the first to saw him bare it fangs and claw wanting to attack the prey he had set its sight on.
Raine who was on the higher ground, clearly had the advantage over the coming opponents from below. The sole runic badger, quickly leap toward the nearer leg of Raine. anticipating it, he quickly duck down and slide his dagger in the air with a sweeping motion directing at the face of the badger.
The dagger pierce its face where it weakness lie and quickly die a dog death. Then the other monsters arrive, a bunch of runic badger and Dobermans aim the sole human but Raine quickly maneuver between those multiple attacks seeking their weak point with ease. After countless fights against the same species he get a hold of their weakness on their body letting him disposing them an easy job.
Even so the sheer number of them overwhelm him a bit and he could not help let his health point decrease bit by bit. As he kill them one by one, a thought cross his mind, this noisy scrimmage between him and these loud monsters may as well lure the boar to this place. So he need to finish this fast not letting even one of them squeak any more sound.
With his level clearly above them, the number decrease until his eye spot a peculiar monster different from the rest. At the center of the staircase a slow moving pudgy thing was moving directly toward him. the monster didn’t bother to block its way as it was like a path already made for it to move.
“it’s the pudgy golem, sheesh please don’t be a strong monster im already am in tough spot already” whisper in his heart as he saw the golem as unknown monster.
But as it getting nearer to Raine, one of the runic badger that Raine kill in one shot flung toward the pudgy golem. Then the unbelievable happen, the pudgy golem deliver a slow but compact punch with one of its stubby rounded fist.
‘BOOM!’
“Eh?”
The single punch devastated the corpse into tiny bits of pieces of flesh. Raine eye turns wide and in disbelief. Even for him whose strength already 33 didn’t have the power to pulverize a whole body of a monster didn’t even has the strength to even bleed the highest defensive back hide of the runic badger.
“its freakishly strong!” Raine had a hard time believing it but this monster was no doubt much powerful compare to the boar. Another high wall that he need to leap as once again Raine could only.
‘after this, im just gonna sleep!’
