Chapter 1051 - A diffrent skill? (1/2)

After defeating the Demi-god tier beast, the sound of battle inside the Shelter was still ongoing. Those from the Graylash family stationed on the wall turned around and started to direct their lightning strikes towards the beasts inside the Shelter. While two of them jumped down to aid their Head General.

”Is everything okay sir?” They said as they helped lift him off the ground by his arms. Even with the beast dead, he was still feeling the fur's effect on him. Some time would be needed before his MC cells would make complete recovery as well, but gritting his teeth, and through sheer will, once he was helped to his feet not wasting time, Robin ran through the gates with the others.

Sil had decided to do the same, heading back in. Although his concern wasn't for the people inside the Shelter, he wondered what was so urgent that made Quinn leave so suddenly like that.

That left all the men who had fallen asleep or perished along with Ko outside the gates.

'How could they just leave my people like this? What if more beasts start to come from the north forest? All the people will die.' Ko thought, but his eyes weren't looking at his men. Instead, they were locked onto the Demi-god tier beast that had perished.

Walking over to the beast, Ko took out his sword and started carving away.

'Who could be so foolish to leave such a thing behind.' Ko thought.

”This is strange,” Linda said, now in her smaller form. Her larger self consumed too much power. If she needed to recharge it, there was only one option, which she wasn't exactly pleased about doing.

”Are you talking about the beasts?” Wevil replied, as he too had gone out of his transformed stage and continued to slash at the creatures coming towards him. They were mainly bug like creatures from the looks of it, but were roughly the size of a basketball.

”Yeah, usually different types of beasts don't coordinate an attack like this. It's as if something is making them stay here.”

As they continued to fight, eventually the beasts started to change their course of action. It was like a switch inside them. Now nearly all the beasts were attempting to escape from the place. While their backs were turned, the angry Travellers made sure to make them pay and attempted to kill as many of them as possible.

Eventually, when all of the beasts including the ones above had left the area, the sound of fighting and crying started to calm down and the fighting had stopped.

”The beasts have retreated!” A large man shouted, raising his battle axe.

Soon after, everyone in the faction cheered and shouted as a sign of relief. The Cursed members had all gathered to see if each of them were okay, and other than being exhausted and a few scratches here and there they seemed to be fine.

”When they said that the beasts attacked this shelter frequently, I never expected something like that.” Layla said, putting her weapon away.

”I don't think that was a normal attack.” Linda replied, looking at the condition of the Shelter buildings. They were crumbled and destroyed. It was clear that the last attack wasn't on the same level. This much destruction would take a while to repair without many earth users.

Entering the place, Robin could see that he didn't need to do much. He had used the last of his strength to zap a few creatures but soon found them retreating. At the same time, Ko had entered and a few of the Travellers that were standing by the gate, he ordered them to bring the others inside.

He looked at all the destruction around and the blood that had been split, and then his eyes went towards the Cursed faction in the centre.

'Did they fight? Or did they run away like their leader?' Ko thought, not seeing Quinn anywhere. 'They hardly have any scratches on them.'

Ko didn't realise that he had hardly been hurt either, since his only part in the fight was being a distraction, but he had a lot of black blood on his armour making it look like he had fought many beasts.

Walking over, Ko was ready to give the group an earful. He was going to complain about them not helping while also asking where their so-called leader was, but eventually Travelers and civilians started to surround them.

”Thank you, thank you so much for helping us. You lifted that rubble off of us.”

”Thank you for helping at the gate as well. If it wasn't for you guys more of the beasts would have got in.”

”You were amazing, I never knew the Cursed faction had such strong members. Having you guys it felt like we had a hundred extra people helping us.”

Ko could hear it all, for some reason. Not just the civilians but even members of his own faction were praising them for what they had done.

'So they come in, and protect us from one attack and they get treated like gods?' Ko thought. 'What about me, me who has been protecting this place all on my own since the beginning. When the Graylash and the Cursed weren't here.' His fists were shaking. 'Where the hell is my praise you ungrateful brats. I was the one who made the Orbus faction and even stationed our base here, protecting all of the Travellers and people!'
