21 Light in Darkness... (1/2)
Staring into the dark abyss outside, Su Min heard numerous cries echo around the world with a raspy momentum; it was eery beyond belief. They seemed enraged at something; like somebody had insulted them!
The voices shuddered unlike anything he had heard before, and they rammed right towards him! It seemed that because of him, the whole world had locked onto his base with the intent to kill!
”Agh... This is annoying.”
Su Min's eyes narrowed when he felt the overwhelming killing intent lock onto him and the inhabitants within the room; he didn't realise that killing one of those sick beasts would rouse the whole colony!
Yi Zan and the twins seemed to have the same vague premonition as beads of sweat dripped down their faces with an unbridled nature. They tried to say something, but the fear they felt seemed to surmount any sort of rational thinking they could muster.
Sensing the enclosing beast stampede, Su Min guessed that he had around a minute of time to waste before the base would get surrounded!
His expressionless face remained unchanged as he muttered under his breath with a vague battle intent that reached to the stars.
”Well, let's see how far I can go...”
Yi Zan seemed to hear him as her bloodshot eyes went wide, yet before she could speak him out of it Su Min turned around and stepped into the foreboding darkness outside.
”Ah...”
...
...
*Thud*
”I wonder how the old man at the shop is doing...”
A slow, desolate string of footsteps crackled on darkened dirt; echoing and echoing with a listlessness of a man who's facing death. His fists crackled with an intense vitality that thrummed and hummed with a weird, noble aura.
His biceps and his widened shoulders seemed to pierce through the darkness with an inhuman stature that jostled an inexhaustible potential. In addition to this, those legs of his thrashed onto the ground with every breath, holding a momentum that seemed unstoppable.
Eyes that were as placid as a lake shone in such a darkness; containing a will tempered by the flames of anguish.
*Thud*
*Thud...*
*Thu-*
”Ah. They're finally here...”
Those placid eyes of his seemed to brighten as they locked onto something far, far into the distance. There, a cloud of blackness penetrated the already pitch black darkness; shooting right at him.
A foul odour of resentment and death wafted out from this cloud; sweeping an uncanny stream of murkiness that would make one gag with disgust.
Streams of dust billowed around his two legs; cleaving with circular shockwaves that, as silent, as his eyes were placid, swept through the dirt for a few meters.
His legs began to wriggle with an intense strength; kneeling down a bit as tufts of dust fluttered and waved in the wind around him.
Those two tightened fists of his sprung next to both sides of his ribs as his body pivoted towards the piercing cloud with a swift motion that ripped the earth off the ground; tearing it into the dark air above him.
His feet clenched and burrowed right into the dirt, generating numerous popping crackles that split through the ground with an unruly drive. Those two eyes glistened with a beast-like urge as numerous screeching sounds roared around him.
He was surrounded.
...
”Fucking hell! These things never fucking end!! FUCK!!”
A crazed roar that chilled the darkened night sprout out from a thin man drenched in black blood. An odour that could induce mass vomiting spewed out of the black blood without restraint, but the man didn't seem to care as he ran with a maddened gait.
”I'm sorry that I killed on~uh~some of you!!”
The man held a dagger in his left hand which would occasionally sweep in the air; causing an anguished screech to bellow out. He couldn't actually see what he was killing, but he had acute senses that had somehow allowed him to survive.
Minutes passed without stop as he ran for an unknown distance, but the cloud of black behind him didn't seem to care as it continued to chase right after him.
The man's face was pale and his breath was coarse, but he continued with the same madness as before. His eyes surveyed the bleak darkness in the hope to find something, anything!
”Ah! Someones over there!”
His eyes shuddered as he saw an immense black cloud that surpasses the one behind him frothing with rage toward someone. He licked his lips as he thrashed his feet onto the ground and shot towards the massive culmination.
”Hahaha!”
