193 Hidden Groups Power (1/2)
As the clearing team traveled north, they encountered a terrifying scene.
A small group of teenagers was being chased by dozens of carriers. Further down the road, another group got surrounded by a crowd of carriers and were being picked off one by one.
They tried their best to fight their way out but with D1's and H1's in the crowd, they couldn't go far and were slaughtered.
”Form a line! Bone spears, ready!” Jun ordered, then beckoned for the familiar teenagers to run diagonally.
The teenagers grew confident when they saw Jun. With this strong person deciding to help them, their lives have finally been saved.
”Fire at will!”
A volley of bone spears flew in the air causing the air to create noises. Though they have practiced since morning, some still had difficulties in adjusting their aims. However, that didn't affect the outcome when there are numerous targets clustered together.
The bone spears struck the carriers in the head, chests, and shoulders. Targets that got pierced in their chests and head were immediately incapacitated. They fell and died, then their wounds emitted yellow lights starting the reanimation process, which is likely to fail since a wound that still had an object attached wold never regenerate and would only eat their energies away.
With Jun's power, the bone spear he threw didn't travel in a parabola but flew in a straight line. It left a trail of light after getting Empowered and it pierced a carrier's chest while also piercing the others behind it.
The clearing group slaughtered numerous carriers that dash towards them. With the death wails of the encircled people slowly disappearing, the horde finally turned their attention to them.
Usually, Jun would stay back on these kinds of situations and let the people handle small matters. Even with the D1 and H1 in the crowd, the elite members of the group could join forces and kill them.
But this time he chose to intervene. He didn't charge towards the horde of carriers but instead ran towards the cemetery entrance.
Carriers continued streaming out from the entrance of the cemetery. He found the event interesting and wanted to investigate.
Like clockwork, his mind quickly thought of numerous possibilities why carriers could get out of the cemetery. Before he could even reach the entrance of the cemetery, he already has an answer in mind.
The only experience he had with Dungeon mobs that got out of their dungeons was in the town defense. With that as the base, he simply made an assumption: Marcus'death has an effect on the nearby dungeons.
Lolita used her unique skill, Dream Come True, to distract the carriers that intended to chase after Jun. Though it has a short-casting distance with a small area of effect, the number of targets that it could affect wasn't limited.
The eye symbol on the ground glowed and an invisible shockwave spread around the five-meter radius. Carriers started pouncing on an empty space on the road creating a small mountain.
Reena and Marvin fought side by side armed with bone short swords. Reena used her abilities to fight their way through while Marvin fought with reservation. He just acted as support but didn't shy away from the role of a tank.
Mellissa and Lourdes, who have only utility skils on their build, followed behind them with bone spears at hand.
Jun's group became a detached elite group that went straight to the entrance while the clearing group clashed with the already roaming horde.

Cain led the clearing team as they advanced forward. He took a Molotov cocktail from his dimensional storage and lit it before throwing it on the pile of tangled carriers. It was a simple throwable made from a gasoline-filled bottle with a piece of cloth at the top.
The Molotov broke after hitting the mid-section of the pile causing flames to spread on the whole pile. Carriers started shrieking and the ones on top quickly woke up from their dreams. The ones who were underneath the pile had no chance to react as they began to burn.
