Plundering in the Apocalypse

Alice didn't go back in her words. She took out her scythe and slashed their necks before they could complain anymore. Their severed head had an expression of disbelief and shock. It was too sudden.

Alice read their information.

After reading some more. Alice understood that souls have different classifications.

'Well, there's no point thinking about it now. I'll find the answers eventually.'

"I should go to Jenny," Alice mumbled then she glanced around her. She was alone in that hall while a dozen dead bodies were laying on the floor. This silence was creepy. But Alice didn't feel anything.

She immediately used soul absorption and all those people who died. Their souls were sucked inside the grimoire.

It's a relief that she was alone there. If anyone saw that they would have been scared out of their wits. Alice was like a reaper. First killing them, then taking away their souls.

If anyone thinks that Alice has them an easy death. They are very wrong. Their souls were going to be tortured inside her soul space eternally.

Now that it was settled Alice returned to her casual and harmless form and started taking steps toward the pre-planned location. She saw the time on her watch. There was still time for her. She was not in a hurry.

By this time James had killed many criminals who are to escape. Of course, they were very weak and killed by his golems. Even if his level is on the lower side. He is not to be underestimated.

"Don't pull your punches," James shouted.

Hearing his command the golems became even more energetic.

If look at them closely the size of those golems is bigger than the previous ones he was able to create. Also, their strength gap is big.

*Splurge*

Blood splattered and the criminal died while horror was written on his face.

James sighed this was already the 11 enemy he killed.

'I wonder how they are doing.'

To be honest he was a little anxious in his heart. After all his wife and he were working separately this time.

Although the task Shin had given Jenny and Celeste is not that dangerous. He couldn't help being worried.

"By this time the hostages should be free right?"

As soon as he uttered this. He was several people approaching him.

At first, he was vigilant. Then he noticed there were Alice's summons' leading them.

'They still look creepy to me.' But he could only complain in his heart.

When the hostage girls approached him he felt pity for them. But he was also glad that they were able to rescue them. Otherwise, who knows for how long would they have suffered under them?

When those girls noticed James, who was a little far from them. Their faces showed worry. But when they noticed that those weird black thingies were leading them toward him. They showed a look of relief.

"Is everyone here?" James asked.

"That miss said she will save other girls who were not there too." One of the girls replied to James.

Now none of them had doubts that this man and that miss were on the same side.

"Okay, you guys follow me. I'll first take you all out." James stated.

"Where are you taking us?" A girl asked with slight hesitation. From her voice, it was obvious how afraid she was of men now.

James shook his head slightly.

"Don't worry, you all should just cooperate for the plan to complete. I won't harm you."

James knew if he tried to say too much they might get wary of him. So he should keep some distance to let them be at ease. They also agreed after hearing him.

What choice do they have? If they don't follow him there is no escape for them.

Soon James took them to the small hole in the barrier which was prepared beforehand.

It was James' responsibility to guard it.

***

Inside one of the inner parts of the school buildings, Jenny and Celeste were moving steadily and sneakily. Both of them were covered in Jenny's barrier.

As they can only defend themselves. It was better to avoid any fights.

Now that Shin was doing a great job attracting attention they never came across any enemy.

They were slowly moving while disabling the traps as instructed by Shin.

Yes, there was an enemy with the ability to set traps. Shin had already detected it so he instructed Jenny and Celeste on how to take care of it.

It was not very difficult. There were only simple traps. After all the trap master was someone with a lower rank ability and level. His mastery over his ability was not much.

But even with all the instructions given to them, Celeste was after all a newbie. She made a mistake.

"Ah."

While walking steadily she tripped and let out a small voice.

There was still a guard around. He heard her voice and with slow steps went in their direction.

Celeste began panicking.

"What should I do? What should I do?"

"We will be caught." She whispered in panic.

"Calm down." Jenny grabbed Celeste's shoulder and shook her. Celeste snapped out.

Jenny glanced at the approaching guard seriously. Sweat could be seen trickling down her forehead.

The guard (criminal) walked with steady steps.

"Come out!"

"I know someone is there."

"If you don't come out. Then don't blame me for being rude."

The guard was also vigilant. After all, he still doesn't know about the enemy's strength.

'I know that we are being attacked outside. Don't tell me, someone sneaked here in the chaos.'

His ability is not that great. Only an E rank. Heat resistance. His combat ability is not that good but because of the organization and their support, he managed to reach level 25. So he can still put up a good fight.

Before awakening, he used to be a thug and got arrested by the police for killing someone. Fortunately, before he could be sentenced to punishment the world changed.

"Come out now!!" He roared.

Celeste jumped out shivering.

Seeing her sacred look. He knew this girl was no match for him. His eyes focused on her, she might make a move.

Before she could he had to take her down. By applying all his strength to his legs. He wanted to dash. By the next moment, his foot was trapped by something and he fell.

Before he could figure out how he fell. His eyes widened in horror when he notched a sharp transparent object sticking from the ground pointing at his throat.

"What the-"

*Stab*

*Thud*

*Splurge*

Blood splattered.

He died.

...

Jenny had created a small semi-spherical barrier at his right foot and a sharp conical barrier 5 feet away from the previous barrier.

Yes, she changed their shapes and finished him in style.

Celeste was used as bait and distraction. She can't let him see herself activating her abilities.

After being in constant battles since this morning Jenny was able to adapt was a nice strategy.

"Whew, that sacred me," Celeste uttered.

Jenny shook her head and asked.

"You are fine now right?"

"Yeah, but seeing him dying like this is scary." Although Celeste knew Jenny was the one who killed him. She was in no position to complain. After all, these people are the ones who are ready to kill her so why would she save the enemy?

Jenny also understood her worries. She called the dead man.

There was a blood-covered pointy cone piercing his throat. His neck had a large hole in it.

'If my calculations were a bit off. We would have been one to die.' Jenny thought nervously. She had made a gamble. Thankfully her plan worked.

"Let's go. Alice should arrive soon." Jenny stated.

Celeste nodded her head. They started walking and a few minutes later they arrived at the preplanned meet-up location. They were a little away from a large door. They have already disabled most of the traps Alice should have no problem coming here.

After all, they need her help to defeat people who should be behind that door.

Yeah, behind that large door there's a small passageway where some strong guards are kept.

Now that they were about to reach that door. They only hoped Alice would arrive soon.

They waited while constantly looking at the watch and time.

"She should be here any minute," Jenny muttered. She was very anxious.

Celeste's expression was also dark.

*Creak*

They heard the sound of the door opening. Which startled them.

Both of their faces paled.

A man with a large scar on his face came out and saw them.

They had nowhere to hide now. Just from a glance, they were certain this man was very strong.

He had a surprised expression on his face. Then a moment later he smirked and said in a condescending tone.

"Look, we have some kitties sneaking here."
