182 A Survivors Beast-friend (1/2)

”Where are my guards!?”

Marcus shouted as he ran the empty hallway. He spat the blood that formed in his mouth before entering the event hall.

The once populated area has become relatively empty.

He could see a few people being escorted away by their stewards.

At this time, a slender man with distinctive features entered the front door. Behind him was a 1-meter tall mutated dog.

Marcus yelled, ”Jovy, come here!”

When the door opened, the intense fighting outside, together with sounds of battle cries and roars, resounded the area.

”Are you okay, sir?” Jovy said worriedly. He was an elite member of the Brotherhood of Verdicts. Numerous resources were poured on him to make him strong. He's the next most reliable person after Cain.

There were two types of memberships for the Brotherhood of Verdicts. One was the standard membership, and the other is the elite, who were fortunate enough to be invited to Marcus' Faction.

With different ranks and hierarchy, there would also be differences in benefits and their sense of belonging.

After experiencing the physical pleasures and system benefits for getting invited to the elite group, Jovy has become more loyal and willing to follow Marcus.

”Why is there no one coming to help me? I'm getting attacked by someone!”

”I apologize, sir. We got caught up with the horde outside. There's a smart Brute leading the horde, and Cain is doing his best to deal with it as soon as possible.”

Marcus clicked his tongue. ”There's a young man in the stock room. Go kill him, bring his body to me.”

”Yes, sir!”

Jovy whistled as he jogged forward. The mutated dog behind him wagged its tail and followed him.

After giving his order, Marcus took a Caliber .45 ACP from his dimensional storage and followed behind Jovy.

Jun sent a sliver of his energy to circulate around the beat-up man's body.

Thankfully, the body didn't reject his energy and willingly absorbed it.

He continued for three cycles until he realized that the man was starting to learn how to circulate the energy on his own. He became slightly surprised, seeing that the man learned energy control in this short time.

”Calm down. As long as you continue circulating energy internally, you should be able to survive.”

Jun left after giving his advice. He didn't see the trembling eyelids that were trying its best to open itself. It tried endlessly, only to fail.

The man unable to see his savior could only thank Jun in his heart. He heard the opening and closing of the door, which caused a streak of tears to fell from his eyes.

Rapid footsteps echoed in the hall when Jun got out of the stock room.

A 1-meter tall mutated dog charged at him followed by a man wielding a halberd. The halberd's shaft was a long metal tube while the spike on its tips and the ax blade, together with the thorn on its back, was made from solid metals.

The mutated dog lunged at Jun and received a backhanded slap on its mouth.

Its owner, Jovy, charged at Jun filled with wrath. He barely got to tame the dog after feeding it with all types of rotters, but this man actually dared hurt it! If his dog got traumatized and turned into a coward, who could he vent his anger to?

Just thinking about the food stamps, it costed him to buy meat of a Rank 2 Brute made him want to cry now.

He slashed downwards between Jun and his dog to separate them. Then twisted his wrist to make the halberd chase after Jun's retreating body.

Jun took his Bonehammer from his dimensional storage, then enveloped it with energy. The top of the Bonehammer clashed with the ax blade producing sparks and metallic sounds.

Suddenly, Jun felt all the hairs in his body standup. He glanced behind Jovy's shoulder and saw Marcus pointing a gun in their direction.

He hastily activated Sprint and Time Perse to dodge the gunshots.

Marcus became dumbfounded after hearing the clicking sounds from the gun. He fired eight times, and not a single one hit its target! It was like the other person knew the trajectory of the shots and dodged in advance!

Jun didn't appreciate Marcus' intervention and switched his targets. He dashed towards Marcus, and the man couldn't do anything besides tripping on his own feet as he ran back inside the building, frightened.

Halfway on his run, the mutated dog was able to catch up to him and tackled him from behind. The two rolled on the tiled floor, and the mutated dog came on top.
