Chapter 67: Rescuing Grays Sister: Part 1. (1/2)
United States of America, New York City, 15 December 2022.
As of 23:05, a bored expression could be seen on the face of the young man seated on his throne. The fleet had remained stationary, he had made the command but he had yet to make a move himself.
”Father!” The girl called out to him
Bowed down ahead of him was a young beauty.
Her long black hair was tied into twin tails by two red ribbons. Her eyes were golden and she had two long black horns, the top half of which was red. The highest rank. Her clothes were unusual, almost like she was cosplaying.
Beside her rested a large golden gemmed war axe which was nearly twice her body size. The war axe radiated a strong aura.
”I've already made the decision. We will not pull back from taking over this planet.” He spoke up so that the others on the ship could hear.
”But the infection! It's spreading amongst us! And these people...! Why must we destroy-”
In that instant, she felt a burst of pressure mount collapse onto her shoulder, causing her to lower her head even further. It had lowered far down to the point where her nose was just barely poking the wooden floor.
”If not for the fact that we share the same blood, your head would have been rolling around as of now. Don't you ever forget.”
He stood up from his throne before making his way towards her. Cold sweat could be seen on the horned ones who were watching.
”My methods are wrong? These are the methods our race, our bloodline has followed for generations. If we hadn't done this, what do you think would have happened to us? I am doing this for our survival. Our elders did this for our survival, such is the cycle of life.”
He proceeded to grab her face and raise her chin, allowing him to get a good look at the anger and humiliation in her eyes.
”To go against our ways is to show disrespect to the elders who have kept us alive all this time. You would dare do such a thing?”
”I...I...”
Her eyes grew watery as the words struggled to come out. Seeing this, the young man knew he had done enough. He let go of her before walking back to his throne. ”We won't have this discussion again.”
He proceeded to sit down and the pressure was released from the girl.
Without saying any other words, she wiped off her tears before suddenly leaping off the fleet.
One of the horned ones who saw this was about to head after her, only to be stopped by the man on the throne who raised his arm.
”Leave her be. She's at that age.”

'But it looks like we're not the only ones…' He thought to himself.
Gray glanced to the right, only to find a group of horned ones, standing at the edge of the labyrinth talking amongst themselves.
They seemed to have no fear towards the zombies as they had created a wall to block off the hordes path and were cutting down any which dared to pass.
Upon seeing them, Gray quickly pause stepped beside the two, before grabbing them and crouching down beside them.
”Gra-”
Gray interrupted violet who had been confused by his sudden action, as he placed his finger over her lips.
