Chapter 89: Storm / Evolution Hibernation. (1/2)
A middle aged, spiky green haired man could be seen with a cigar on his mouth could be seen crouched down beside a corpse belonging to one of the last remaining members of his squad.
This man's name was Roan. He was the leader of squadron 0.
A bloodbath as far as the eye could see. Corpses ranging from teenagers in military uniforms to corpses belonging to the horned ones and zombies laid all around.
Amidst this bloodbath, whilst covered in injuries, he was the last one standing.
He closed the eyes of the corpse before looking up at the sky.
Smoke could be seen coming out of the vehicles all around which had been destroyed in the crossfire and zombies could be seen approaching the scene.
Some staggered, their rotten skin slowing them down.
Others ran, growling as they approached their pray.
Meanwhile, he stood there, looking up in disbelief.
A large blue cube had manifested itself above one of the fleets. The clouds could be seen gathering around it as rain began to fall.
Just from seeing the size of it, he couldn't help but wonder...
'Is there even a point to all this fighting...? Is the death of all these kids really going to change anything?'
His entire squad, squadron 0 and the other two squads which summed up to a total of fifty ability users had all been wiped out.
Together they were only able to take out fifteen of enemy.
Only fifteen.
[Squadron 0, do you copy?]
The cigar in his mouth almost slipped out as his eyes widened.
His mind completely drifted away from replying as it was busy registering the event which was currently unfolding.
Once again, another wave of horned ones could be seen falling from fleets in the sky.
Their appearances were all unique, ranging from all types of frames and builds.
The top half of the horns on their heads was a colour he had yet to see, one which hadn't been reported to government yet.
But none of that mattered at the moment, what mattered was that one of them was heading right towards him!
*Crash!*
He took a few steps back, barely avoiding collision. A cloud of smoke was created from the dust, as the figure landed ahead of him.
Following that, something flashed and he swayed his body left and right, barely avoiding whatever sort of weapon was launched at him.
A third, strike had come from behind, attacking from his blind spot.
*Clang*
The surrounding smoke which he had breathed out from his cigar, parried it at the very last second as his retreat came to a stop.
”Oh... You dodged that...?” The voice asked as the dust cloud dispersed.
A figure emerged, dark messy brunet hair with pink irises. Two black horns with the top half being a bright red and shark-like teeth could be seen poking out from his mouth. He wore an excited expression.
Above his palm a throwable knife levitated, for a split second it seemed to clone into countless others as it radiated a strange aura.
”Move your leg...”
”Huh? What was that?” The man asked as he looked down.
He was standing on top of a corpse of a human wearing a strange green camo uniform with a badge on it.
It had appeared that he had landed on the enemy's corpse. Realising this, he stomped on the corpses head, almost crunching it into smithereens.
”I SAID MOVE YOUR DAMN LEG YOU FUCK!!” The man yelled out as he fired bullets from his Glock at the horned man ahead of him.
*Bang!* *Bang!* *Bang!*
Two bullets were suddenly sliced as the throwable knives had split into two, but on the third, the horned man's head cocked back.
There was contact... Or so it seemed.
The horned man brought his head back forward with his tongue sticking out.
The bullet could be seen stopped just ahead of his forehead. A blade had emerged from his skin, blocking it just in time.
”Too bad~ It failed.”
”Did it?” Roan asked as he puffed out some more smoke out of his mouth. ”It was a distraction.”
A loud growl reverberated throughout the air, as one of the many zombies which had reached them, leapt at horned one.

”Dimension Cube? What does it do?!” Gray asked as he rushed towards the underground base with the book on his hand.
”It creates a separate dimension inside it, inside is a domain belonging to only my father. But I'm not sure why he'd just use it randomly like that...”
”Go and find out!” He shouted just ahead of the base doors.
”Yeah..! I'll be back soon...!” She replied before leaping away.
