4 Mama! (1/2)

Ash could finally understand the mindset of the strong, if you're too strong that nobody can bring out your full power or not even a quarter of your full strength then it would become boring really fast.

It had been a week since she killed the tier 3 vulture and she went to collect tier 1 and 2 crystals, but after searching a few cities she couldn't even find one tier 3 or higher.

At this moment she sat on a lamppost counting her crystals inside her devil dimension.

Devil dimension is one of her powers being a literally a dimensional bag for stuff to store. But she could grow devils in it, hence the name devil dimension.

She needed one hundred tier 1 crystals for a tier 1 devil at the low grade. 125 tier 1 crystals for a middle grade tier 1, 150 crysals for a high grade tier 1 and 200 crystals for a peak tier 1

The same amount of higher tier crystals for the higher tier devils. To be honest, it isn't worth it but the devils she grow are fully loyal to her. They won't betray you and the higher tiered devils could even speak or basically they would have intelligence.

At the moment she had 5 tier 1 devils and 2 tier 2 devils stored inside her devil dimension, a pity they aren't demons, otherwise the crystals for it would be totally worth it.

...

''Medic! Medic!'' Screamed a soldier helping an another soldier that was gravely wounded.

*Raawr!*

A polar bear roared further up fighting their comrades.

''When are the reinforcements coming?!'' Shouted the soldier with a grave expression.

''They said the reinforcement will arrive approximately in an hour'' Replied a medic who just arrived to treat the gravely injured soldier.

''An hour!? That is too long, we will die before they'll arrive!'' Said the soldier with no hope. The apocalypse just happened suddenly and now they fight with their life against a crazy strong polar bear that already killed a quarter of their group!

They had 100 people, even with rockets and rifles they can't do any damage against the polar bear except some small dents.

''Fire the rockets!'' Shouted a soldier behind a wall.

But, once again when they hit the polar bear with the rockets, the polar bear would only have some dust on it with a small amount of burnt fur.

''Haiz.... This isn't looking good'' Said a soldier with a sigh, he had so much to live for, he had a wife and two adorable children, but he just had to die here, in this damn apocalypse where his wife and children aren't safe.

Maybe they got something good from that weird white room, at this moment his ability he got wasn't particulary useful, he also get exhausted very quickly once he used it.

''We're all gonna die.....'' Said his friend next to him firing a gun from the building they are taking cover from.

...

''Drake, how long until we arrive at our next destination?'' Said a woman with short red hair and a scar on her eye to the man beside her driving the vechile who has short black spiky hair.

''About 50 minutes, they said they couldn't even hurt the polar bear with rockets, do you it really helps when we go there, captain Vanessa?'' Said Drake with a worried tone.

''I think we can hurt it, with our new acquired power from the strange white room'' Answered Vanessa while releasing some electricity from her hand.

''And if we can't?'' Asked Drake.

''You are a coward, did you know that Drake? I'm pretty sure you also have a quite strong power dont'cha?'' Replied Vanessa in an irritated tone.

''Ehhh? Do you really think that captain Vanessa?'' Said Drake in disbelief while looking up his head wondering if it's truly strong.

Above his head was 3 flickering balls of flame circling around his head.

[Flame Angel] Was the name of his species. He didn't know if it's good or bad, but from the battle peformance he did at the camp, it was one of the lowest within the camp.

*Woosh!*

''Hm? Did you heard that captain?'' Asked Drake.

''Hear what?'' Replied Vanessa confused.

''Nothing, maybe my imagination'' Said Drake shaking his head and focused on driving.

After about 50 minutes their squad arrived at the destination, what's over is nothing but corpses. The buildings that was nearby the destinations were in ruins and further up was a polar bear munching on corpses.

''T-this.... They had hundred people but...'' Drake looked dumbfounded and a bit scared when he saw all the corpses lying around, especially when he saw the corpses which were all eaten empty by the polar bear.

He endured the motion of puking the food he ate this morning.

''This is worse than what I imagined'' Said Vanessa, considering everyone went through the strange white room, they surely have gotten some weird power or even changed their species that were much stronger than humans, so a hundred people died at the hands of a polar bear that couldn't get moderately injured by heavy weapons nor the 'evolved humans'.

''C-captain, are we gonna retreat? They all died, so we can go right?'' Said Drake in a scared tone.

''No, we need to find survivors otherwise the higher-ups are gonna complain'' Vanessa shook her head and sighed ''All units prepare for combat!''

The soldiers behind her stood upright ''Yes ma'am!''
