“I don’t… want to die!”

Boom!

A large pillar falls from the sky. The eyes of the Lifer watching that pillar are filled with despair. His body has frozen stiff and he cannot move.

The pillar, giving off a ray of dark gray light, is rough like an animal’s skin.

The wide pillar covers the sun from the ground and crushes the Lifer. He is not visible, but he will have been smashed flat like a pancake. The diameter on the ground alone is over 10 meters. It is so wide that blood does not even seep out. It has just quietly swallowed up a human.

Boom boom!

The pillar goes back up. A lump expected to be the Lifer is squished on the floor. The wreckage also stuck to the bottom of the pillar.

The pillar that killed the Lifer is a mutant that resembles elephants. It is huge, the size if an elephant had been enlarged multiple times. It is heinous. Dark eyes, a pair of long horns, muscles all over its body, and three pairs of legs that support its body.

It is Cruel King’s pet, Hell Mammoth. It is a level 8 even if it is a pet, so it has the strength that Medusa and Beholder have.

Kurung.

Africa’s ruler is breathing in and out on Hell Mammoth’s back.

Cruel King Anubis. With a human’s body and a dog’s head, it has an ordinary appearance compared to other heinous mutants.

It is not big either. 3 or 4 meters? It only looks to be a level 3. But Black Demon and White Queen also do not look like much before they are in their awakened states. Judging the opponent by its appearance is foolish.

“That’s strange. Were there this many humans left in my territory?”

“There is an increased inflow of humans these days. The curious thing is that they do not go by sea or land, but just suddenly appear.”

Cruel King frowns at the subordinate’s report. When it awakened and acknowledged itself, it killed all humans in Africa.

It had not left even an ant alive. Where had they come from?

“I’m not pleased.”

It does not like people. They are horrible. Before it became a mutant, it was born in a zoo run by humans. This is a secret that only it knows.

It had believed that life was definite at the time, but realized that it had been repressed once it awakened and exceeded the limits of living beings. With what rights are humans repressing them? It could not forgive them, and made Africa its own territory with this mighty force.

Starting a few years back however, a little activity showed and they were not coming in by hordes. It cannot understand this phenomenon. Cruel King has eyes and ears scattered all over Africa. It is impossible for tens of thousands of people to get past all of this surveillance and enter its territory. On top of that, there are humans who are stronger than Cruel King’s own soldiers. These soldiers are just at levels 1 through 5, but they are not creatures that mere humans can take on.

“What about capturing them?”

“We are targeting the ones that seem like they might be useful.”

Any strong figure is bound to be treated better. This is the same in Africa. It is impossible to capture all of them, so they chose the strong humans. They have no intention to let any of them live. They will get information with whatever method, including torture.

“Bring me a few.”

“Yes!”

Pat!

An eagle sitting on Cruel King’s shoulder transformed into a large mutant and went down. It is Sky Kuntar, one of its subordinates.

“That’s that… They’re going behind my back? Kuk kuk! I’m the stupid one for thinking of her as a simple female and it’s my fault for overlooking the fact that she is a human at her roots.”

Cruel King grinds its teeth. It is angry. If anyone were to go behind another’s back, it should have been the Cruel King. Its pride as a king does not allow for getting played. Though it is just a semblance of an alliance, it had not expected that the situation would come to this. It is not hard to recognize this as a betrayal.

White Queen’s large army is too visible. The moment it went south from the Middle East and into Africa, it only took a few days for the news to travel.

“You’re positive that Black Demon let them through?”

The 6 continents are vast. Interactions between the disasters are not smooth. Cruel King and Black Demon have never met. All Cruel King knows is that he rules over Asia.

On the other hand, it is a similar situation. They need to go through Africa on land. The female and male have stuck together.

Kurung!

There is a clear sense of enmity and murder in its growling. It does not know human language. It became possible to communicate as their intelligence developed, and they systematized a language of their own. The conversation with Kuntar would have sounded like barking to a human.
